Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
In Chen Yuan's residence, Dugu Yan sat across from Chen Yuan, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing. Her gaze, however, remained fixed on Chen Yuan as she smiled and said:
"Now that my grandfather has fully recovered and his strength has greatly improved after consuming the immortal herb, he plans to go into seclusion for a while to further enhance his power. So, I've returned to the academy."
Hearing this, Chen Yuan thought to himself. In the original story, Dugu Bo spent half a year detoxifying and then broke through to level 92. After that, he never made any significant progress, remaining at level 92.
After all, Tang San had taken everything from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, leaving nothing for Dugu Bo—not even a single herb for Dugu Yan.
But now, things were different. Dugu Yan had the ability to identify immortal herbs and would surely prepare a suitable one for Dugu Bo.
In the future, Dugu Bo would likely make further breakthroughs, possibly even reaching level 95 or beyond.
Just like Chen Xin and Gu Rong, who were now eager to go into seclusion, Dugu Bo was probably the same.
What Titled Douluo wouldn't want to advance further in strength?
Chen Yuan then smiled and said:
"That's great news. After Grandfather goes into seclusion, you can join us at the academy to cultivate together. We've all consumed immortal herbs, so we should take advantage of our youth to rapidly improve our strength."
Dugu Yan's smile widened as she glanced at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing before saying:
"Alright, since you've invited me, I'll accept. The academy's dormitory arrangements allow four people to live in one villa. Since there are only three of you, there should still be one room left. I'll move in."
Chen Yuan nodded with a smile:
"The room at the far end of the second floor is available. You can go take a look."
Dugu Yan wasn't just making empty promises. Hearing this, she actually got up and headed toward the second floor. Suddenly, she teased:
"I'll go tidy up the room. Also, I won't lock my door tonight…"
She didn't finish her sentence, but her playful tone seemed to say, "I won't lock my door. Do you dare to come?"
With that, Dugu Yan continued upstairs until her figure disappeared down the hallway.
Only then did Chen Yuan turn to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, testing the waters with a joking tone:
"Are you two angry?"
At this, Ning Rongrong turned her head away and said stubbornly:
"Not at all."
After Ning Rongrong spoke, Zhu Zhuqing remained silent for a moment before looking at Chen Yuan with a gentle expression:
"We understand. It's not just us who like you. Dugu Yan also likes you. She's mature, beautiful, and even surpasses us in some ways."
Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow. Indeed, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, no matter how beautiful, were still unripe, green apples. But Dugu Yan was like a ripe peach, irresistibly tempting.
Walking on three boats at once, yet not capsizing any of them—Chen Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
He skillfully took the hands of the two girls, gently squeezing and playing with them as he said with a light laugh:
"I'm truly lucky to have met you both."
Zhu Zhuqing's usually cold face was now unusually soft. In truth, she wanted to say that she was also lucky to have met Chen Yuan.
Given the fate she carried, winning meant peace, while losing meant utter ruin. The best outcome would be to die directly, while the worst would be to have her martial soul destroyed and become someone's plaything.
If she were to be a plaything anyway, why not choose a master she liked…
Ning Rongrong's eyes were filled with complexity. She had already given herself freely, and although Chen Yuan didn't reject her advances, he never took the final step to make her his first woman.
Once her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, she wouldn't mind when Chen Yuan finally took her innocence.
But Chen Yuan had always stopped short of crossing that final line…
During the day, Chen Yuan, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing continued to cultivate in the simulated training environment.
At night, Chen Yuan opened the door to Dugu Yan's room. Sure enough, it wasn't locked. He walked to the bed, took off his clothes, and slipped under the covers.
Dugu Yan was pulled into a pair of strong arms. Her face flushed, and her breathing quickened, but she tried to act nonchalant as she said:
"You little wolf, you actually dared to come!"
Chen Yuan inhaled the fragrance emanating from Dugu Yan's body, his eyes gleaming like a hunter who had caught his prey. He smiled and said:
"You're my girlfriend. Why wouldn't I dare to come?"
Dugu Yan shifted slightly, feeling a bit flustered by the pressure against her. She continued to feign composure:
"Aren't you afraid your two little girlfriends will never speak to you again because of this?"
Chen Yuan chuckled. Whether Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing agreed or not, he would have come. But the fact that they didn't object made him feel less guilty.
A scumbag walking on three boats actually felt guilt—what a strange thing.
Then Chen Yuan said firmly:
"If I dared to come, it means I can handle it."
Dugu Yan turned over, almost straddling Chen Yuan. Her eyes burned with intensity as she looked at him:
"I have one more question. Have you… taken your two little girlfriends yet?"
Chen Yuan, while lifting Dugu Yan's nightgown, recalled the past six months and shook his head:
"We've been close, but I've never crossed that line. They're still young, and I might hurt them…"
Dugu Yan was surprised but even more pleased. She murmured:
"So, that means I'm your first woman!"
Her eyes glazed over as she leaned down to kiss him. Chen Yuan flipped her over, reclaiming the dominant position. He pulled up the blanket and began to enjoy the feast.
…
Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Mansion!
Xue Qinghe had been feeling troubled lately. Ning Fengzhi had rarely sought him out and no longer wholeheartedly paved the way for him.
Although he had secured the position of Crown Prince, losing Ning Fengzhi's support would make things difficult for him.
After all, he was the Crown Prince, but not yet the emperor. With the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he could maneuver freely in the court and win people's hearts.
Xue Qinghe, or rather Qian Renxue, could only use the power of the Spirit Hall in secret. For now, the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was still indispensable.
Back then, Ning Fengzhi had too much free time. Due to the limitations of his martial soul, he could only cultivate up to level 79. Now that he could continue to cultivate, he had inadvertently neglected his disciple, Xue Qinghe.
At this moment, Xue Qinghe pulled out a document and read softly:
"Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Ning Rongrong, Chen Yuan, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan. This group is truly puzzling."
"Winning over Ning Rongrong might help me regain Ning Fengzhi's support. But what's going on with this Chen Yuan? He was supposed to be a genius cultivated by Ning Fengzhi to protect Ning Rongrong. How did he get involved with other women—one from the Zhu family of Star Luo and the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo?"
"Tomorrow, I happen to have some free time. I'll go see this daughter of my teacher…"
