Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 221: You... You’re Making Me Stay in a Doghouse?
"Everything you said sounds like a compliment to me."
You Ruo wasn’t angered. She smiled in response before addressing Ning Xuan again, "Aren’t you going to invite me up? We’re over the Falling Dragon Abyss, and controlling this Flying Boat is consuming too much of my energy."
Ning Xuan smiled and shook his head. "I’m sorry, but my villa is a little too cramped."
That remark made Wu Pianpian beam. Qian Yourong and Yun Wangshu also shared a knowing smile.
You Ruo’s smile froze on her face. She truly hadn’t expected Ning Xuan to reject her so mercilessly! This is not good news for me.
However, she quickly recovered and continued, "Isn’t that room of yours unoccupied? How about I go in there to take shelter?"
Ning Xuan wore a strange expression. "Are you sure?"
That’s the doghouse! Originally, Xiaobai was going to stay there, but after being invited by Wawa and San Wu, the three of them have been sticking together lately.
"Of course!" You Ruo felt that the reactions of Ning Xuan and the other three were rather strange.
Ning Xuan still didn’t agree, instead turning to look at Wu Pianpian and the other two women.
A warmth spread through their hearts. The mobile villa was his, after all. Yet, he was still asking for their opinion even though this woman was willing to stay in a doghouse. This feeling of being valued was truly wonderful. After the three women exchanged glances, it was Qian Yourong who finally spoke up.
"Welcome, welcome."
You Ruo leaped aboard and greeted them sweetly, "Hello, big sisters. My name is You Ruo, you can call me Ruoruo."
Wu Pianpian just hummed in response.
Yun Wangshu nodded with a smile.
Qian Yourong had to speak up again, "Miss You Ruo, we apologize for the humble accommodations."
"Not at all, not at all. You must be the incredibly intelligent sister Ning Xuan was talking about, right? He was just singing your praises to me, saying you’re one of a kind on earth and a rarity in the heavens." You Ruo’s playful smile was charming and disarming.
Qian Yourong’s delicate body stiffened.
Ning Xuan was completely exasperated. I never should have let her come up! She’s definitely doing this on purpose! And she absolutely knows who that room is for.
"If you can’t talk properly, then don’t talk at all. Otherwise, you won’t even get to stay in the doghouse!" At that, Ning Xuan dropped all pretense of politeness.
You Ruo’s eyes widened. This guy must have guessed my identity. Yet he still dares to treat me this way? He’s utterly lawless! But I can’t get angry, or he’ll definitely turn on me.
"You... You’re making me stay in a doghouse?" she asked, keeping up the act.
Ning Xuan retorted irritably, "Didn’t you know?"
Damn it! This guy is no gentleman at all! He doesn’t give a damn about saving face! Fine! Looks like I’ll have to earn my own respect!
You Ruo feigned anger. "I didn’t know a thing! If I had known, I definitely wouldn’t have come!"
"Well, now you know. Please," Ning Xuan said, making a sharp gesture for her to leave.
You Ruo almost choked on her frustration. If it weren’t for... I really want to slap this jerk to death!
Just as she was wondering how to get out of this awkward situation, Qian Yourong stepped in to smooth things over. "Miss You Ruo, don’t be angry. He just likes to tease respectable women."
Looking at Qian Yourong’s smiling face, You Ruo had a certain curse on the tip of her tongue. You call this teasing? And you’re the ’respectable woman’! I’m clearly an innocent, pure maiden... Er, actually, it seems I am! Forget I said anything!
"Haha, I know he’s just joking," You Ruo said, composing herself with a smile. "I’m going to check out my new place."
With that, she dove headfirst into the doghouse.
If any Heavenly Palace Law Enforcers were present, they would surely begin to question their reality. The uncrowned ruler of the entire Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace was now living in a doghouse on Ning Xuan’s mobile villa. The situation was utterly absurd.
After giving Wu Pianpian and Qian Yourong a knowing look, Ning Xuan leaped down with Yun Wangshu.
When You Ruo crawled out of the doghouse and saw two people were missing, she couldn’t help but ask, "Where are they?"
No one answered.
Her expression changed instantly. "They didn’t just jump down, did they?!"
Before Wu Pianpian could deny it, You Ruo had already jumped onto her Flying Boat. Wu Pianpian’s figure flickered, and she landed directly on top of the Flying Boat. The terrifying Gang Wind almost swept her off.
Now, without You Ruo needing to say a word, Wu Pianpian understood the gravity of the situation. She couldn’t feel it on the mobile villa, but out here, she realized that anyone with insufficient strength would be torn to shreds. They were still so far from the ground, yet it was already this perilous; the area below must be even more terrifying.
"You go back up! I’ll find them!" With a flick of her sleeve, You Ruo and her Flying Boat plummeted downwards. The same gesture sent Wu Pianpian flying back onto the mobile villa.
"What happened?" Qian Yourong asked quickly.
Coming to her senses, Wu Pianpian said hurriedly, "They’re in danger, I have to go down!"
"Don’t. He surely knows what he’s doing. He isn’t a reckless person," Qian Yourong said, stopping her.
Wu Pianpian thought about it and had to agree. A moment later, however, she realized what was going on and stomped her foot in frustration. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"Damn it, that woman must be behind this! Her strength is terrifying!" The effortless flick of the sleeve had revealed a glimpse of her power.
Qian Yourong wasn’t surprised at all. "Of course," she nodded. "She is the Heavenly Palace Master; naturally, her strength is immense."
"What? Her? The Heavenly Palace Master?!" Wu Pianpian’s eyes widened in disbelief. If she really were the Heavenly Palace Master, why didn’t she fly into a rage when that ’rotten junior brother’ of hers showed her no respect at all?
"You’re very powerful. Could an ordinary person have ambushed you like that?" Qian Yourong’s question left Wu Pianpian speechless.
It was true. That flick of the sleeve had seemed simple, but anyone else would have been utterly incapable of pulling it off.
"Why is the Heavenly Palace Master so young?"
That was a question Qian Yourong also wanted an answer to. As she shook her head in confusion, Wu Pianpian asked, "By the way, what did the lecher mean by that look he gave us before he left?"
"He wanted us to keep an eye on You Ruo."
"Ah, then aren’t we..."
"It’s fine. The two of them are just trying to outwit each other. Let’s not get involved. I found some rare items when I searched the Wu Family’s estate..."
Qian Yourong easily diverted Wu Pianpian’s attention. Just before entering the villa, the smile vanished from Qian Yourong’s face as she glanced outside, her beautiful eyes filled with concern. She had no idea what the situation was like down below. I hope it doesn’t bring them harm!
Meanwhile, as Ning Xuan leaped down with Yun Wangshu, the rushing Gang Wind was blocked before it could even reach them. It wasn’t Ning Xuan’s Protective Gang Qi, but Yun Wangshu’s Dao Xuan Technique. Her skill in support techniques far surpassed her prowess in lethal arts.
Ning Xuan’s gaze was as sharp as lightning as he peered down below. It was certain that there was something strange about the Falling Dragon Abyss. Though he appeared relaxed, he was fully prepared. He could unleash his Divine Vein Power at any moment.
However, they encountered no danger all the way until they landed. Instead, the surrounding silence was terrifying.
Just as Yun Wangshu was about to speak...
THUMP!
A drum beat sounded. It wasn’t loud, but a palpable killing aura washed over them.
THUMP!
Another beat echoed, this one louder than the last. Faintly, the sound of clashing metal could be heard.
