She had thought Brother Yuan Longxuan would take her to his room on the very first night, just like her father used to do with the singing girls he bought. But it had been three months now, and Brother Yuan Longxuan hadn't taken the next step with her...
"What are you thinking about, little girl? Your face is so red."
Looking at Xue Ke's delicate little face, now as red as an apple, Yuan Longxuan felt a bit puzzled. But years of experience told him that this little girl definitely hadn't been thinking about anything appropriate.
"I... I wasn't thinking about anything..."
Hearing Yuan Longxuan's words, Xue Ke's face turned even redder, and she buried her face deeply in Yuan Longxuan's chest.
Unconcerned about her shyness, Yuan Longxuan lay back on the soft sofa. Since Xue Ke was pressed against his chest, she naturally ended up lying on the sofa too.
"Little girl, your thoughts aren't pure."
Seeing Xue Ke's posture, as if ready to be plucked, it immediately stirred Yuan Longxuan's "curiosity." Wasn't this just tempting him to commit a crime?
A 1.45-meter-tall, mentally mature loli—what man could resist such temptation?
"Brother Yuan Longxuan, I... Mmm..."
Seal the lips.
As for what Xue Ke wanted to say, Yuan Longxuan signaled her to stay silent.

Yuan Longxuan had once read The Grave Robbers' Chronicles and learned the signature skill of its protagonist, Zhang Qiling: the Fa Qiu Finger (Grave-Robbing Finger). His skills in that area were even more impressive than Zhang Qiling's.
Ten minutes later, a clear stream flowed eastward. The members of Team Tianshui, who had gone to compete, returned together.
Pushing the door open gently, they found that Yuan Longxuan, the bad guy, was still lying comfortably on the sofa, just as he had been when they left. Xue Ke's face was flushed red as she rested on the sofa on the other side of Yuan Longxuan.
Little did they know, beneath her calm exterior, a turbulent undercurrent still flowed. Fortunately, her princess dress helped conceal her awkward state.
"Brother Yuan Longxuan, we won another victory!"
Xiao Wu bounced over to Yuan Longxuan. Seeing him pretending to sleep, a mischievous smile appeared on her face.
Zhu Yun and Zhu Qing stood side by side, watching Xiao Wu playfully act up in front of Yuan Longxuan. After all, among Yuan Longxuan's women, the two sisters held significant status. When they teamed up, even Yuan Longxuan, the lustful Limit Douluo, couldn't hold himself back.
But at that moment, Ning Rongrong noticed the blush on Xue Ke's cheeks, and her face filled with curiosity.
"Little Sister Xue Ke, are you feeling hot?"
The arena thrummed with energy as Shrek Academy faced the ferocious Mad Team.
Below, in the spectator stands, Yuan Longxuan lounged comfortably with Xiao Wu nestled in his arms.
He watched with mild amusement as the two Tang brothers....past and future incarnations of stubbornness....struggled to lead their ragtag team against the six enraged berserkers.
To an observer, he seemed engrossed in the match. In truth, his attention was far more divided, savoring the warmth and weight of the woman in his lap far more than the clumsy combat on stage.
"Honestly, Brother Longxuan is so unfair," pouted Shui Yue'er from their private box above. "Sneaking off for a private date with Teacher Xiao Wu and leaving us behind."
A snort came from Xue Wu. "Hmph. Teacher Xiao Wu may be perfect, but I've already been... thoroughly marked by Brother Longxuan."
"Now, now," purred Dugu Yan, a sly smile playing on her lips.
"I secured my promise from him long ago. You youngsters really shouldn't try to compete with your elder sister."
A sudden, charged silence fell over the box. Several pairs of eyes snapped towards Xue Wu.
"Marked?" Shui Bing'er's voice was dangerously calm. "Xue Wu. Explain."
"That sounds like a confession of betrayal," said Shui Yue'er, her smile not reaching her eyes.
"We have a very clear policy on betrayal, Vice-Captain," added another girl.
Xue Wu blinked, feigning innocence. "What? I didn't say anything! You must have misheard—"
"Yue'er! Liu Yu! Hai Rou! Restrain her!" Shui Bing'er commanded, her captain's authority ringing out.
"I will conduct a personal inspection to verify my vice-captain's... claims."
On the sidelines, Ning Rongrong, the Zhu sisters, Meng Yiran, and Dugu Yan exchanged glances and settled in. This was familiar entertainment.
Ning Rongrong herself had once been the central figure in such a "disciplinary investigation," a memory that brought a flush of embarrassed heat to her cheeks even now.
Down in the arena, the announcer's voice boomed. "Let's congratulate Team Shrek on their victory!"
