Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

Yu Luoning touched her nose, pretending not to see it.

At this moment, Huanlin and Huanxue, the brother and sister on the opposite side, both turned pale, especially Huanxue.

It was only at this moment that she truly realized that Bai Rongling had really chosen the woman in front of him, and that he no longer considered them friends.

Fantasy couldn't help but catch up, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Why? She's seen your face before, hasn't she?"

Yu Luoning paused slightly.

Huanxue's expression became even more agitated, her face full of confusion. "She has seen your face, so how could she not be influenced by Xianggu? You should know better than anyone what those people really like. They don't truly love you; they are just bewitched by your appearance."

Yu Luoning scratched his ear, then suddenly interrupted, "Wait, don't speak yet."

All three eyes turned to look at him at the same time.

Yu Luoning originally wanted to continue listening to the gossip, but she had no choice but to come out.

With her hands on her hips, she said defiantly, "You can argue all you want, but can you please stop questioning my sincerity? Who told you I like Bai Rongling just because of his face?"

Huan Lin sneered, "Anyone who has seen his true face would say that."

"That's them. Can I be like them?" Yu Luoning scoffed.

Huanxue looked as if she had heard a joke, her eyes turning icy cold as she questioned, "What makes you think you're special?"

Yu Luoning blinked, and the next moment, without warning, she turned around and ripped off Bai Rongling's veil.

In an instant, the surrounding air became quiet.

Bai Rongling was also stunned in place, while Huan Lin and Huan Xue seemed to be frozen in place, their eyes fixed on each other, motionless.

The fiery red sunlight shone down, illuminating his pale skin, making him appear cold and exquisitely beautiful, breathtakingly so.

Yu Luoning stared at him for a few moments, thinking to herself, "He is indeed handsome."

He's so handsome she wants to do him eight times a day.

However, the previous possessiveness—the urge to hide him away and not allow anyone to see him—was gone.

Thanks to her replica of the potion of forgetfulness, Yu Luoning nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at the other two people.

Huanxue's breathing became noticeably rapid, her eyes fixed on Bai Rongling, a look of daze appearing on her almond-shaped eyes.

Although Huan Lin didn't act as dramatically as she did, her gaze towards Bai Rongling was gradually changing, and she seemed to want to possess her completely.

Bai Rongling didn't look at them; he just stared at Yu Luoning. From the initial astonishment to the end, a hint of tremor and excitement, which he himself couldn't believe, appeared in his cold eyes.

Of the three, Yu Luoning's reaction was particularly strange.

Just like when they were in the cave, he didn't know why Yu Luoning had changed like this.

But at this moment, she was clear-headed and composed, which made Bai Rongling truly feel that she was genuinely loved by her.

At this moment, Yu Luoning waved the white veil in her hand and snapped her fingers in front of the other two.

"Snap out of it, stop staring at my husband like that. I'm telling you, if you keep staring, I'm going to charge you."

After Yu Luoning finished speaking, she quickly covered Bai Rongling's face with a veil again.

As she tied her veil, her fingertips inadvertently brushed against Bai Rongling's flushed earlobes.

Bai Rongling's eyes narrowed slightly, her expression deep and mysterious.

As Yu Luoning tied her veil, she muttered to herself with delight, "Oh my, I have such good taste! My husband is so handsome, but a little too handsome. He attracts a lot of people who covet him, not just women, but men too. It's so unsafe."

"Rongrong, now that you are my husband, you must uphold some male virtues. Don't associate with those wicked drug addicts who drug their friends at the drop of a hat."

Bai Rongling lowered her eyes, her amber pupils flickered slightly, and under the gaze of the others, she nodded very seriously and replied with a "yes".

Yu Luoning's smile hadn't quite faded yet, and it froze slightly.

Oh my god, she was just putting on an act, using the pretext of upholding male virtues to make a fuss.

But this beautiful woman actually listened to him; not only did she listen, but she also nodded seriously.

Is this a way of saying she's agreeing to be her husband through this performance?

Yu Luoning blinked her dark, glistening eyes, and after a quick mental check, she was certain that Bai Rongling had truly agreed.

Before she could recover from the shock, Huanxue opposite her went completely insane.

"Bai Rongling, are you crazy?" Huanxue screamed, her eyes red and her hand trembling as she pointed at Yu Luoning.

"How could you go back on your word and fall in love? You said you would never love anyone in your life. Now you're completely obedient to a woman."

"Back then, my brother and I treated you so well. We were willing to offend other prominent families for your sake. All we did was try to keep you by our side. You refused to yield and broke with us. Now, you're willing to break your promise for another woman. What are we then?"

Huanlin's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping blood. His spiritual pressure exploded, and the longsword in his hand hummed.

"Ah Ling, I'll just take all of this as you saying it in anger. Now that we've met you, we should take you away. We can talk about it slowly when we get back."

Seeing the siblings' outburst, Bai Rongling didn't even lift an eyelid. She addressed the phantom siblings with a chilling voice, "I listen to my wife. What's it to you?"

Just then, the formation within the forging ground completely collapsed, and lava erupted, shooting into the sky.

Yu Luoning quickly used the teleportation technique to take Bai Rongling away.

The Huan siblings were not about to watch Bai Rongling leave, so they immediately threw out a tracking talisman and chased after her.

The two men kept their distance, following at a moderate pace.

Yu Luoning turned her head and rolled her eyes at the person opposite her, then grabbed Bai Rongling's hand and swaggered forward.

Unexpectedly, Bai Rongling did not break free and followed obediently.

Yu Luoning looked down at the fallen leaves at her feet, the rustling sound under her feet mirroring the ticklish feeling in her heart.

After holding back for a while, she couldn't help but whisper, "Does what I said earlier still stand?"

Bai Rongling, without looking to the side, asked, "What?"

"You've already acknowledged him as my husband, so why are you still pretending?"

Yu Luoning squeezed his fingers tightly, noticing that his ears seemed to turn a little red. She was secretly delighted. "Bai Rongling, were you just saying that to discourage them?"

Bai Rongling slowed his pace. Yu Luoning had only been teasing him, but after waiting for a while, a clear, cold voice actually came from his mind, "No."

Now it was Yu Luoning's turn to be stunned. She turned her head to look at him, but Bai Rongling still didn't look directly at her, only leaving her with a beautiful and delicate profile.

"you mean……"

Bai Rongling finally turned her head to the side, seemingly annoyed that she insisted on asking for clarification, even though she knew the truth in her heart, she still made him admit it.

Some things are just too difficult to say out loud.

Bai Rongling took a deep breath and transmitted her voice, "Since I have already said it, it naturally stands."

Yu Luoning's eyes lit up, as bright as fireworks.

When Bai Rongling saw her like this, she knew that she was holding back some nice words.

As expected, Yu Luoning leaned closer to him with a sweet smile, and the two were almost pressed tightly together.

"Rongrong, wouldn't it have been better if you had said this earlier? Don't worry, you will never be treated badly after you come with me. Although I am a bit sentimental, I am by no means heartless. Each and every one of you is the most precious treasure in my heart."

"..."

Bai Rongling suddenly regretted it a little. Just listening to such sickeningly sweet words made him feel so embarrassed that he wanted to run away.

He felt a warmth in his palm, glanced down at their intertwined hands, and sighed helplessly as he closed them again.

Bai Rongling was not at ease. Although Yu Luoning had acknowledged him, her other men might not.

Especially Choi Soo!

It seems inevitable that he will give me a good beating.
