"Sister Yu Lai."
"..."
Nanali rubbed her beaten head, speechless with a wronged expression. Sister Yu Lai was still like this...
How heartbreaking!
Ever since she joined the Holy Spirit Church as a child, the older girl had punished her like this from time to time, but...
Now she had grown into a 97th-rank Super Douluo just like the other party, so why was she still being treated this way? Did she...
Did she not deserve any face?
"Bringing young lady to the Star Luo Continent."
"Without even informing the Demon Emperor. What if young lady got lost under your care?"
Leng Yulai snorted lightly, withdrawing her hand that had just knocked the other's head, and spoke with deep meaning. This little Nanali, young but quite capable, actually daring to sneak away with young lady?
Just because the Demon Emperor doesn't restrain you, do you really take her for a fool?
"I didn't..."
Nanali puffed her cheeks and quickly defended herself.
"Sister Yu Lai."
"It's not what you think."
At this moment, Lan Fozi also quickly spoke up while positioning herself in front of Nanali, as if becoming her sturdy shield.
She was actually overjoyed that Sister Lily had come to the Star Luo Continent with her to follow Luo Chuan's footsteps.
"Wuwuwu, Fozi...Nanali's face was written large with emotion.
She swore that if there were future opportunities to contact Luo Chuan, she would never keep them all to herself again, and would definitely share the good opportunities with Sister Fozi too.
Well, hopefully she could control herself when the time comes.
"Fozi..."
"Little Lily, have you forgotten how to address young lady properly now?"
However, upon hearing this form of address, Leng Yulai's expression changed again. Fortunately, the young lady's voice rang out just in time.
"Sister Yu Lai, I was the one who asked Sister Lily to call me that. It's not that she doesn't respect me."
Lan Fozi quickly explained.
"Young lady, you..."
"Really spoil Lily too much."
Hearing this, Leng Yulai had no choice but to drop the matter, though a helpless expression remained on her face.
Nanali had been young when she joined and had spent years training in the Holy Spirit Church. While not completely unversed in worldly matters, she wasn't far from it - practically a walking "free giveaway Douluo."
This was precisely why her heart couldn't remain calm upon seeing the two in the Star Luo Continent. If young lady were to disappear somewhere under Nanali's guidance, it would truly be disastrous.
If blame were assigned when they returned, this little Lily would be done for.
"Speak."
"How did you two come to the Star Luo Continent?"
Leng Yulai gave her a deep look and asked.
The Star Luo Continent couldn't be said to have nothing good, but compared to the Douluo Continent, it was indeed still too backward.
This could be seen from the fact that the continent's strongest fighter was only En Ci, an Ultimate Douluo - quite a gap in terms of powerful individuals.
"Well..."
Hearing this, both Lan Fozi and Nanali froze, instinctively exchanging glances, momentarily unsure how to respond.
"We were..."
Nanali took a deep breath, about to say they had come to follow the man they liked, but was cut off by a look from Leng Yulai.
"Let young lady speak."
Leng Yulai let out a light hum, then turned her gaze calmly toward Lan Fozi again, signaling that the other party could begin.
Nanali: "..."
Sister Yu Lai, you're so annoying!
"Ahem..."
Seeing Sister Lily lower her head in silence, Lan Fozi couldn't help but be amused by her adorable reaction. Only then did she look in the former's direction and speak somewhat shyly:
"Sister Yu Lai, you've really misunderstood. Sister Lily came to the Star Luo Continent with me..."
"We followed... someone here."
Lan Fozi glanced at her, momentarily too embarrassed to say it was to find the one she loved, and instead spoke vaguely.
"Followed..."
"Someone?"
Leng Yulai frowned, falling silent for a moment. Judging by the young lady's hesitant manner, it seemed...
Most likely a boy.
In an instant, Leng Yulai felt both surprised and curious, as if there was some juicy gossip to uncover?
"It's a boy, isn't it?"
Leng Yulai asked with a chuckle.
"Mmm..."
Lan Fozi responded softly, her face tinged with a shy expression, red as a ripe apple.
Compared to her, Nanali, being slightly older, maintained a much calmer expression. Moreover, her interactions with Luo Chuan—both minor and major—far exceeded those of the young lady.
Of course, at this moment, Leng Yulai paid no attention to her, fully focused on Lan Fozi as if the other were merely an escort.
"It seems..."
"It's someone the young lady likes, right?"
Leng Yulai wore a smile as she asked softly. Initially, it was just a slight suspicion, but she hadn't expected to stumble upon such gossip.
However, she never imagined the young lady would fall for a boy. Then again, it was about that age for her...
Thinking back to when she herself had first felt affection for someone, it was around this age too. She hoped the young lady's feelings weren't a misunderstanding but genuine affection for that person.
"Mmm..."
This time, Lan Fozi didn't refuse, merely responding with a soft sound.
"Oh?"
"What's his name?"
Leng Yulai asked curiously. This matter might even be unknown to the Demon Emperor. Upon returning, she would have to report it to Her Majesty.
After all...
She glanced at Nanali beside her—she wasn't an irresponsible little guard like that!
The Demon Emperor had said that the young lady was pure-hearted and must not be deceived by scoundrels outside, and that boy might very well be such a person.
"His name is Luo Chuan, Tang Luochuan."
Lan Fozi nodded eagerly, her smile radiant, as if countless stars shimmered in her eyes at the mention of his name.
"Oh, Luo Chuan, huh? A good name..."
"..."
"Tang Luochuan?"
Hearing the name, Leng Yulai first nodded with a smile, intending to commit it to memory, but then she fell silent.
Tang Luochuan...
Her sister's disciple, Gu Yue's boyfriend, the powerful and talented Soul Sage Tang Luochuan?
"Young lady, you..."
"Is it the Spirit Transfer Pagoda Envoy Tang Luochuan you like?"
Leng Yulai's eyes held confusion, but she still asked.
"Huh?"
"That's right!"
Lan Fozi didn't deny it, immediately affirming.
"..."
Leng Yulai's face was etched with silence, and she remained wordless for a long time.
No way...
What made her sister harbor such special emotions was Tang Luochuan; the one her young mistress fancied was also Tang Luochuan. Even Gu Yue, the Young Pagoda Master recognized by the two ultimate powerhouses throughout history, liked him too.
"..."
"Just what background does this Tang Luochuan have?"
At this moment, such doubts erupted uncontrollably in Leng Yulai's mind. If she had been somewhat interested in him from the start, then now...
Luo Chuan, was it?
"You've successfully caught my attention."
A faint smile curled at the corner of Leng Yulai's lips as she thought to herself.
Now...
She absolutely had to go see this young man for herself.
"..."
"Young mistress, where is Tang Luochuan staying now?"
Leng Yulai asked with a light laugh.
"Hmm..."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Lan Fozi was momentarily stunned and instinctively glanced at Nanali, who had reacted similarly. Both of them realized the situation was far from simple.
"Sister Yu Lai, you're not planning to make a move on Luo Chuan too, are you!"
Lan Fozi's expression instantly turned wary as she spoke gravely.
"Ah?"
Hearing this, Leng Yaozhu was taken aback. She was merely curious about this Tang Luochuan—what did they mean by "make a move on him too"?
Slander!
This was blatant slander!
