Chapter 19 Ning Rongrong's legs are so nice to touch
"Is something the matter?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, her tone still indifferent.
"Shall we spar again?" Ye Chen asked. "Without using martial spirits, just pure physical techniques."
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at him, remained silent for two seconds, and then stepped aside to clear the doorway.
"Come in."
Ye Chen walked into the room and casually closed the door.
Zhu Zhuqing's room was very simple—a bed, a table, a chair, and a glass of cold water on the table.
The window was open, and the night breeze blew in from outside, carrying a hint of grass and trees.
"Let's begin." Zhu Zhuqing assumed a starting stance, her eyes instantly sharpening.
Ye Chen also stopped smiling and got into a fighting stance.
The two moved at the same time.
There is no soul power, no martial spirit, only the purest fist and foot combat.
Zhu Zhuqing's speed remained lightning-fast, each punch aimed straight for vital points.
Ye Chen, relying on his enhanced physical abilities after fusing multiple cards, steadily withstood every attack.
Fists clashed, and clothes fluttered in the wind.
Inside the cramped guest room, the two figures rose and fell, each punch and kick producing a dull thud.
Zhu Zhuqing delivered a side kick, which Ye Chen blocked with his arm, and both of them took a half step back at the same time.
"You're faster today than yesterday," Zhu Zhuqing said.
"You're better than yesterday," Ye Chen said.
The two exchanged a glance, then charged forward simultaneously.
This time, Zhu Zhuqing changed her strategy, no longer pursuing speed, but using grappling techniques to close the distance. She slid close to Ye Chen, grabbed his arms with both hands, and tried to subdue him with joint locks.
Ye Chen did not struggle, but instead rotated his body in accordance with her force, which in turn shifted her center of gravity.
Zhu Zhuqing stumbled, and Ye Chen seized the opportunity to grab her wrist.
The distance between the two suddenly closed—close enough that they could feel each other's breath.
Ye Chen lowered his head, Zhu Zhuqing raised her head, and their eyes met.
The air seemed to freeze.

Ye Chen was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face. He released Zhu Zhuqing's wrist and took a step back.
"Thank you, Zhuqing."
"It was really fun sparring with you."
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, her ears turning bright red.
Zhu Zhuqing remained silent for a few seconds, then raised her head. A rare smile appeared on her cold and beautiful face. Although it was just a slight curve at the corner of her mouth, it was still quite unusual.
"Be careful tomorrow," she whispered, her voice much softer than usual. "The forest is dangerous."
"You too." Ye Chen nodded and turned to leave.
"Ye Chen".
He turned around.
Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she only said two words: "Good night."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Good night."
He walked out of the room and gently closed the door.
Zhu Zhuqing stood there, looking at the closed door, her fingers unconsciously touching the wrist that Ye Chen had just held, which was still warm.
She turned around, walked to the window, and the night wind blew her long hair.
Outside the window, the lights of Star Town were scattered, and in the distance was the dark outline of the Star Great Forest.
Zhu Zhuqing's lips curved into a smile again.
Ye Chen left Zhu Zhuqing's room and patted the card pouch at his waist with satisfaction.
But he did not return to his room.
He was going to another place—Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's room.
On one hand, he wanted to see Xiao Wu; on the other hand... Ning Rongrong hadn't collected enough energy yet, currently at 48%, and he wanted to accumulate a little more.
If we go into the forest tomorrow, we might not have such a convenient opportunity.
He walked to the door and knocked.
"Who is it?" Ning Rongrong's voice came from inside, tinged with a hint of languor.
"I am Ye Chen. I've come to see Xiao Wu."
"Wait a minute—" After a rustling sound, the door opened.
Ning Rongrong stood at the door in her pajamas—a light pink nightgown with the hem reaching mid-thigh, revealing two fair and slender legs.
Her hair, loose and slightly damp, lay over her shoulders, clearly having just been washed. Under the light, her skin shone with an ivory glow, making her appear even more alluring and languid than during the day.
"Come in," Ning Rongrong stepped aside. "Xiao Wu is taking a bath. You've come at a bad time."
Ye Chen glanced inside and, sure enough, heard the sound of water and splashing water coming from the bathroom.
"Then I'll wait until she's finished washing before I come back." He turned to leave.
"Don't go!" Ning Rongrong grabbed his sleeve, grinned, and pulled him into the room. Then she slammed the door shut. "What's wrong with coming in and sitting down? I'm not going to eat you."
Ye Chen was pulled to sit down on a chair by her.
The room was filled with a faint scent of soap, the smell of the shower gel that Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong used.
"You came to see Xiaowu so late, are you missing her?" Ning Rongrong sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her two fair legs back and forth, looking at Ye Chen with a smile.
"Hmm." Ye Chen nodded frankly, then glanced at the bathroom door. "How much longer?"
"I don't know, girls usually take a long time showering." Ning Rongrong tilted her head, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Can't you talk to me? Am I really that invisible?"
Ye Chen looked at her and smiled: "You have a strong presence."
"Really?" Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up.
"Really." Ye Chen extended his hand. "Come on, let me touch your hand as a blessing, to pray for a safe tomorrow."
Ning Rongrong blinked and chuckled: "Your excuse is even worse than last time."
But she still extended her hand generously.
Ye Chen held her slender, soft hand and gently stroked the back of it with his thumb.
[Soul Enhancement Device Notification: Ning Rongrong Card Energy Value +4%, Current 52%.]
"Okay, thank you." Ye Chen released his hand, preparing to take it back.
Ning Rongrong did not let go of his hand.
"Ye Chen," Ning Rongrong said, holding his fingers, tilting her head with a mischievous smile in her eyes, "I've noticed you especially like touching girls' hands. Xiao Wu does it, Zhu Qing does it, and I do it too… Do you have some kind of weird fetish?"
Ye Chen remained expressionless: "This is what the Martial Soul requires."
"Really?" Ning Rongrong was clearly skeptical. "What exactly does your martial spirit do? It can borrow other people's power? Does that mean the more you touch someone, the more power you can borrow?"
Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat; this girl was smarter than he had imagined.
"More or less." He didn't deny it.
Ning Rongrong's eyes darted around, and she suddenly let go of his hand.
Ye Chen thought she was about to finish and was about to get up when Ning Rongrong raised one leg.
She lifted the hem of her nightgown and pulled her pants up a bit, revealing her fair and slender calves.
Under the light, her calves had smooth lines and delicate, flawless skin, gleaming with a soft glow in the dim light.
"My legs are so white and tender," Ning Rongrong said with a grin, her tone full of teasing and playfulness, "Would you like to touch them?"
She was certain that Ye Chen wouldn't dare.
