Chapter 498: Na'er Five Years Later

"What kind of move is this?"

Na'er was stunned.

"Brother Jian, call her out!"

Ning Rongrong lay on top of Qin Jian, poking his chest repeatedly: "Hurry up and come out to compete for your man!"

"What is she up to?"

Na'er had no intention of paying her any mind for the time being.

"Rongrong, she doesn't do things like this..." Qin Jian said, feeling embarrassed.

Na'er hadn't shown any tacit understanding of a romantic relationship with him to this day, so how could it possibly skip straight to the three of them sleeping together?

"What do you mean she doesn't do things like this?"

Ning Rongrong's face was full of Hu Liena-esque suspicion: "She isn't in that kind of relationship with Brother Jian? Then why is she so hostile toward me?"

"I'll help you ask..." Qin Jian said.

"Ask what? Make her come out herself!"

Ning Rongrong rolled up her sleeves, full of fighting spirit: "If we're going to fight, let's fight out in the open!"

Qin Jian: "..."

"Who told you to make me call you Mother?!"

Na'er did not come out, but she did establish a mental link.

Ning Rongrong heard her voice, but she couldn't reply mentally, so she spoke directly: "Isn't that because you call Brother Jian Father? What's wrong with me making you call me Mother?"

"He is my father, but that does not mean you are my mother."

Na'er's voice remained calm, but Qin Jian's expression turned somewhat strange.

How miraculous...

Na'er had never deigned to form a mental link with anyone before, yet now she was actually willing to link with Ning Rongrong...

Were they going to form some strange pairing?

"Fine, you don't have to call me Mother, but you admit you're his daughter, right?" Ning Rongrong said.

Zhu Zhuqing's little cat eyes turned into swirls.

From her perspective, this scene was incredibly bizarre.

She saw Ning Rongrong lying on Qin Jian's chest, acting as if they were arguing, yet she was the only one talking up a storm.

"... Yes, I am his daughter."

For some reason, Na'er seemed to have become addicted to role-playing.

The strange look in Qin Jian's eyes grew more intense.

Could it be to protect her stance?

Thinking from her perspective, it really seemed to be the case; she wasn't willing to admit she had feelings for the flower she had raised herself, but she couldn't exactly call herself his mother, so holding the status of a daughter was better...

However, the status of a daughter... has no standing, Na'er...

Sure enough, the next moment Ning Rongrong said: "Since you're a daughter and not a woman, what are you competing with me for? This is Brother Jian's harem battlefield."

These words were getting more and more unhinged...

Na'er was silent for a long while before slowly saying: "In the end, we are just competing for his time and affection, so what is the difference between a daughter and a woman?"

This angle, this line of thinking, this logic—it was impeccable!

Qin Jian almost clapped in approval.

Where's the melon? Where is it? Where is Oscar? Hurry and bring me some melon-eating sausage!

"Fine, then you can use your status as a daughter to compete for favor. I want to see how you compete!"

Ning Rongrong sat up, crossed her arms, and looked confident: "Since it's not the status of a woman, then things are easy to handle."

"Zhuqing, let's show her properly what it's like for a woman to compete for favor!"

She suddenly threw off the quilt, dove in, and looked at Qin Jian with a face full of fighting spirit: "Brother Jian, take off my clothes!"

Is that the tone you use to ask someone to take off your clothes? Why does it sound like you're going to a fight? Though, calling it a fight didn't seem wrong either?

Qin Jian... was stunned.

I hadn't finished eating my melon, and the flames of war had already spread to me?

No, this isn't war? This is a benefit!

By the time the three of them were rolling together, Qin Jian still hadn't figured out how things had developed this way.

But it didn't matter; enjoying the moment was what was most important, wasn't it...

This could be considered flying one and a half...

Zhu Zhuqing finally got her wish, and her pent-up biological energy was relieved.

Although Ning Rongrong didn't go all the way, she and Qin Jian had their own ways of pleasing each other; after all, she was very skilled at playing a certain wind instrument.

That night, Qin Jian was having the time of his life.

After that Soul Storm from Na'er, his Spirit Power was more than ten times stronger, and his endurance in battle had also greatly improved; at least he didn't need to use the Ocean's Tear at a time like this.

Never mind two, he felt he could take on five right now!

Any more than that... well, for any more, he'd still use the Ocean's Tear...

The only one left dumbfounded was Na'er.

Ning Rongrong was right; the way a woman and a daughter compete for favor is truly different. Just like this three-way battle before her, she couldn't do anything while stuck in the role of a daughter.

Just listen to what Ning Rongrong was saying in the middle of the battle...

"That daughter, come out, don't... don't... uh, mm... aren't you going to participate?"

"How about I teach you how to play the instrument? Brother Jian loves it; if you learn it, you'll definitely be able to steal his affection away!"

"If you can't learn to play an instrument, why don't you try learning from this stinky cat? Dual Path Opening, look at Brother Jian's expression, how happy, how excited."

"This is what you call competing for favor, you know?"

"..."

Na'er indignantly shut herself off.

The Silver Dragon King and Ning Rongrong, the third round, ended with Ning Rongrong voluntarily giving in.

A complete victory didn't seem to happen; at most, it could be considered a mutual defeat...

The Star Dou Great Forest, Core Area.

"Da Ming, what's wrong?"

The girl's voice seemed to come from beyond the heavens, crisp and melodious, not like a sound of the mortal world.

"Splash..."

On the vast lake surface, waves rolled, and the Tianqing Niumang's massive bull head turned back, looking at the dreamlike figure of the girl by the lakeside below, its booming voice spreading out.

"Sister Xiao Wu, just now, from deeper within the forest, I felt a fluctuation that made my heart palpitate..."

"Made your heart palpitate?"

A woman's gentle voice rang out from the other side.

"Yes, Aunt Da Wu, that kind of power was like seeing... an ancestor in a rage..." Da Ming said in a low voice.

"That direction is the Forbidden Area, isn't it? None of us can enter."

A woman in a long green dress walked over: "Even if there is something, we have no way to investigate it."

Many years had passed, and she had finally regained her human form.

"Xiao Wu, you just reached Level 60, do you really want to go out?"

She walked up to the girl in the pale pink dress and said with concern: "You haven't completely become human yet; it's still not safe to go out."

Xiao Wu stood on a rock, quietly gazing into the distance, and said coldly and clearly: "It's alright, even a Title Douluo cannot discover my identity now, and the five-year appointment is approaching; we made a promise, and I want to go see those companions."

"It's not those human companions you want to see, is it..."

Da Wu glanced at her sideways: "The one you want to see is Brother, right?"

A gentle breeze brushed by, and the girl's soft hair fluttered.

Just like her expression, it suddenly became vivid, and a look of longing permeated and dissolved in her eyes.

"Five years, I can finally let go of the conflict in my heart..."

"No matter what kind of relationship he and I have, he is, after all, the person I love most..."

"Whether we are siblings or lovers, it doesn't matter; as long as we don't have to be apart, anything is fine..."

"Mother..."

Moon Splendor was like water, spilling onto her fair and beautiful face, refracting a dreamlike radiance.

"I miss him."

The next moment, the girl's figure leaped high, straight into the depths of the forest.

In the leap, she vanished from sight...
