Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

But he didn't seem panicked at all; instead, he praised it.

"That's good, it adds more life to the picture, and it's quite cute. I hope you can keep it up."

As he spoke, he pulled his hand back and turned to walk towards Ning Rongrong.

Gu Yuena stared at Chen Yao's figure, completely stunned.

She is from the place where consciousness was born.

The gods wished they could kill her, while her people regarded her as their leader and worshipped her.

Therefore, no living being has ever been able to get close to her, let alone a male human being making such intimate gestures towards her!

At this moment, she raised her hand tremblingly and placed it on the spot where Chen Yao had just pinched her, her expression still showing disbelief.

For a moment, anger rose in her heart, but mixed in with this anger was a strange feeling that was extremely unfamiliar to her, indescribable and inexplicable, leaving her feeling at a loss.

Her cheeks, which had been flushed crimson with anger, now, upon closer inspection, retained a subtle pink hue, spreading beyond her face to her neck and behind her ears.

Chen Yao, with his back to Gu Yuena, did not notice anything unusual about her; otherwise, he might have triggered her passive ability and pressed his advantage.

Although his experiences in the first four years were somewhat tragic, they were far worse than the five years he was shrouded in darkness, and he was far from developing a psychological trauma towards women.

But Chen Yao didn't notice this, and instead looked at Ning Rongrong with a smile.

"Come on, Rongrong, let me see how well you've learned the distraction control method?"

Looking at Chen Yao's wrinkled face, which resembled an old chrysanthemum about to wither and die, Ning Rongrong first felt a chill run down her spine and a little scared. But when she thought of her current status, she felt confident and slightly puffed out her small, budding breasts.

"Hmph, what do you mean by 'seeing how well I'm learning'? You just want to learn the distraction control technique."

"good."

Chen Yao nodded.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong became even more proud, with the corners of her mouth uncontrollably turning upwards.

"If you want to learn from me, what should you call me? And what about the apprenticeship ceremony? When that second prince became my father's apprentice, he gave him a lot of good things! Also, after I accept you as my student, you must respect me and make sure that wicked woman can't torment me anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao's smile remained unchanged.

"So that's how it is. There are so many procedures to learning the Distraction Control Technique? Sect Master Ning didn't explain it clearly just now. I guess I'll have to go and ask again."

With that, Chen Yao headed towards the main hall outside the arena.

"Hey! No! Godfather, I'll teach you right now, but don't go tell my father!"

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong became anxious and quickly grabbed Chen Yao's sleeve, afraid that if she was even a little slow, Chen Yao would run to Ning Fengzhi to complain, which would not be good news for her.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and wore a mocking expression on his face.

"Honest?"

Ning Rongrong nodded obediently like a chick pecking at rice. Then she pulled Chen Yao and began to introduce the mental technique for controlling distraction. After that, she started fiddling with the ground, holding two wooden sticks in her hands, drawing circles and straight lines.

Soon, under Ning Rongrong's guidance, Chen Yao also calmed down and focused his mind.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuena finally calmed down her complicated thoughts. Although she couldn't figure out what had happened before, she suppressed it for the time being, but she couldn't let Chen Yao's frivolous behavior go unpunished.

Just as she was about to go up and confront Chen Yao, she saw Chen Yao and Ning Rongrong squatting under the tree, looking very focused. Her lips twitched, and after hesitating for a moment, she sighed and chose not to disturb them, choosing to keep her anger to herself.

As time passed and the sky gradually darkened, the sun set in the west, and a "gurgling" sound broke the immersion of the two.

Chen Yao subconsciously glanced at Ning Rongrong's lower abdomen.

Feeling Chen Yao's gaze, Ning Rongrong blushed and wanted to explain, but Chen Yao slowly stood up.

"This distraction control method is not simple either. We'll take it slowly later. That's all for today."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand towards Ning Rongrong, who was still squatting on the ground.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong nodded shyly, took Chen Yao's hand, and was about to get up.

However, because she had already undergone rigorous training that day, coupled with the long period of squatting afterwards, her legs had long since gone numb and lost all feeling, causing her to collapse to the ground.

"Godfather, I can't get up."

Ning Rongrong felt a sharp pain coming from her buttocks, tilted her head back, and looked at Chen Yao with a pitiful expression.

Her pitiful appearance touched Chen Yao, who couldn't help but think that compared to Qian Renxue, that crazy child, Ning Rongrong, this little devil, was quite well-behaved and cute.

Then, understanding Ning Rongrong's difficulty in moving around, Chen Yao didn't hesitate and directly picked her up by the waist, called Gu Yuena over, and headed towards the sect's main hall.

Lying in Chen Yao's arms, Ning Rongrong immediately felt a little shy. Apart from Ning Fengzhi, she had never been held like this by any other man, not even Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo.

Amidst her shyness, Ning Rongrong also caught a whiff of the delicate fragrance emanating from Chen Yao when they met again at the foot of the mountain a few days ago.

Surrounded by this familiar aura, Ning Rongrong immediately felt a sense of peace and tranquility.

Ning Rongrong snuggled comfortably in Chen Yao's arms, nuzzling her soft little head against him.

However, as she was wriggling, Ning Rongrong suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen Yao's wrists behind his black gloves, which were visible through his sleeves as he was hugging her.

Crystal clear, white, smooth and delicate.

Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, then quietly looked up at Chen Yao's wrinkled face with a slight smile, her eyes filled with contemplation.

After the meal, Ning Rongrong's legs were able to walk with difficulty. She drooped her head and let her arms hang down, as if all her yang energy had been drained. She walked out of the main hall with extremely heavy steps, and was about to return to her room.

Suddenly, a force came from the back of her neck, and before she could react, Gu Yuena had already lifted her up.

"where are you going?"

Gu Yuena spoke softly.

"I need to find a maid to give me a good bath, and then I'll go back to my room to sleep. I'm exhausted today."

Ning Rongrong was taken aback, then explained.

"Have you forgotten what your father said? You'll be living with me for a while now. Come back with me and wash yourself."

Today, Ning Rongrong's use of the word "teacher" made Gu Yuena take her seriously, and she even went to ask Chen Yao for advice on how to teach Ning Rongrong.

Chen Yao, however, was concise and to the point.

Let Ning Rongrong suffer a bit and she'll behave.

Gu Yuena could roughly understand Chen Yao's meaning. In addition to the heavy training, he also wanted to help him get rid of his dependence on others.

"Ah? No!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's face fell. She had thought that after finishing her cultivation, she could finally get some rest and get away from this female demon. She never expected that even this last moment of peace would be taken away from her.

But Gu Yuena had no intention of understanding Ning Rongrong's pain, and she dragged her towards the side room.

Chapter 169 Misunderstanding

Back in the room, even though he was unwilling, he still cleaned himself up under Gu Yuena's cold gaze.

During the training, Gu Yuena's energy was not wasted. She not only protected Ning Rongrong's body from being injured by the heavy load, but also replenished Ning Rongrong's energy and strength after the training ended. After a dinner, Ning Rongrong had already recovered to about 70% recovery.

Therefore, Ning Rongrong was only mentally exhausted at the moment, but physically she was still full of energy and not to the point of being unable to move.

Lying in bed, Ning Rongrong had no mind to think about anything else, so she closed her eyes and decided to get some rest.

But a moment later, a pair of eyes opened again, unusually bright.

A look of doubt flashed across her face.

She felt like she could have fallen asleep from exhaustion at any moment, so why did she feel so energetic after lying down in bed?

Slowly turning her head, Ning Rongrong looked across the room at Gu Yuena, who was meditating on another bed. A thoughtful look flashed in her eyes before she quietly climbed off the bed.

Sensing the unusual situation on the bed, Gu Yuena slowly opened her eyes and looked at Ning Rongrong, who had already taken up a place on the bed. Her beautiful eyes furrowed slightly.

"Why aren't you going to sleep? What are you doing in my bed?"

"I can't sleep and want to talk to you. After all, you are my first teacher, and I haven't gotten to know you properly yet."

Ning Rongrong opened her big, watery eyes and said innocently.

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong mention "teacher," Gu Yuena's initial impatience vanished in a strange way. After pondering for a moment, she nodded.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Ning Rongrong's expression immediately became somewhat excited upon hearing this.

"Teacher, are you a Title Douluo? What kind of martial soul do you have? Can you show me?"

Gu Yuena pondered for a moment, then turned her palm upwards. Accompanied by a flash of silver light in the room, her original form, shrunk countless times, appeared in her palm, lifelike.

"Silver Dragon King, my martial soul."

Ning Rongrong stared blankly at the silver dragon, its body gleaming with a sacred light, its slender form exuding elegance. She couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"So beautiful, no wonder it's the teacher's martial spirit."

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's unconscious remark, Gu Yuena's usually cold and stern face couldn't help but show a barely perceptible curve.

"However, what kind of soul beast is the Silver Dragon King? I've never heard of it before."

Soon, Ning Rongrong snapped out of her reverie of the elegant dragon shadow and looked at Gu Yuena with some curiosity.

"All you need to know is that the Silver Dragon King is the king of the soul beasts, carrying a heavy mission and the expectations of countless living beings."

Gu Yuena's explanation only confused Ning Rongrong more. At her age, she couldn't understand Gu Yuena's words, so she chose to ignore it and asked another question that had been bothering her.

"Teacher, you are a powerful Title Douluo, and your godfather is only a 7-ring Soul Saint. Why would you choose to stay by his side and protect him? Are you two a couple?"

"Couple? What does that mean?"

Gu Yuena was taken aback upon hearing this, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes, unable to understand Ning Rongrong's meaning.

This left Ning Rongrong somewhat dumbfounded.

"No way, teacher, you don't even know what 'couple' means?!"

"Tell me!"

Seeing Ning Rongrong's reaction, Gu Yuena also felt a little curious.

Ning Rongrong scratched her head, organized her thoughts, and then spoke.

"Teacher, did you see a man and a woman walking together on the street?"
