"No, not at all..." Zhao Ling vigorously shook his head like a rattle-drum and straightened his back, declaring, "Whose long legs could be as beautiful as my wives'? Whose looks could be as exquisite as my wives'? With you all raising my aesthetic standards, how could I possibly be so indiscriminate?"
"Hehe, Auntie Erlong just said you wanted to look at long legs, not that you wanted to 'eat' them, hubby. Aren't you confessing without being prompted?" Jiang Nan-nan gazed at Zhao Ling, her beautiful eyes filled with schadenfreude.
"No, absolutely not, Nan-nan, don't talk nonsense. What I meant was that appreciating your long legs is more than enough. I truly have no other intentions, especially, Nan-nan, I think your long legs are peerless." Zhao Ling offered an awkward smile, reaching out to pull Jiang Nan-nan into his embrace. She naturally settled onto Zhao Ling's lap.
"What, Nan-nan's legs are peerless, so Xiao Wu's legs aren't good enough? Hubby, you'd better explain yourself, otherwise, I'll definitely show you what's what." Xiao Wu also stepped forward at this moment, clenching her fists in a stance that clearly conveyed: This young lady is very angry, and the consequences will be severe.
"They're all beautiful, how could they not be? You owners of the Soft Bone Rabbit Spirit, and having practiced soft techniques for so long, your legs are all more beautiful than the last. Xiao Rou, you, and Nan-nan all leave your husband full of praise." Zhao Ling praised the three women without thinking. He felt no shame in flattering his wives.
It's said that a woman adorns herself for her admirer, and Zhao Ling understood this deeply. So, frequently praising his wives would keep them happy and make them even more radiant.
"Hmph, hubby... are you implying that my legs aren't long enough or beautiful enough?" Tang Yuehua pouted in dissatisfaction at this moment.
"Exactly! Xiao Qi's legs are also super beautiful, okay? Why don't you praise Xiao Qi?" Tang Wutong also nodded in deep agreement. Meng Hongchen and Zhang Lexuan also cast death glares at Zhao Ling.
Sigh... Zhao Ling felt a headache coming on. This was truly difficult; he had too many beautiful wives. Any one of them, pulled out at random, would be at least a campus belle at other schools. He didn't know how to deal with them anymore.
"Alright, alright, sisters, go do what you need to do. Xu-er, Hong-er, Yue-er, the three of you stay here in the office to accompany your husband. I'll arrange for someone to cover your classes today." Liu Erlong also saw Zhao Ling's awkwardness, but a playful smile tugged at the corner of her lips. She left the three most dissatisfied women in the dean's office, while the others turned and left to handle their affairs.
The three women now gazed at Zhao Ling with eyes that seemed to be sharpening knives, making him feel a chill down his spine. Jiang Nan-nan covered her mouth, stifling a laugh, then kissed him on the cheek before instantly teleporting away from his embrace. When she reappeared, she was already at the main entrance, playfully waving at Zhao Ling. "Hubby, Nan-nan won't keep you company. You deal with them first." With that, her graceful figure disappeared from the doorway.
Zhao Ling was a bit displeased. Nan-nan actually ran away. Who was she looking down on? Not to mention dealing with these three girls, even if Nan-nan had stayed, he wouldn't have flinched. So Zhao Ling waved his hand, sealing off the dean's office from the outside, then grinned sinisterly as he pounced on the three women.
"Hehe, you decided to stay. Don't blame your husband... Mwahahaha."
Although the sofas and office desk in the dean's office weren't as comfortable as the bed at home, it had its own unique charm. It was two days later when Zhao Ling finally emerged from the dean's office. However, before leaving, to prevent outsiders from entering the dean's office, he placed restrictions on the door and windows. Although the entire Blue Overlord Academy consisted of female students, Zhao Ling didn't want other teachers or students to see what they shouldn't.
After leaving the dean's office, Zhao Ling made his way to the training grounds, wanting to observe the students' training. As Zhao Ling leisurely strolled through the training grounds, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with short, deep purple hair and a pair of emerald green eyes excitedly pulled a girl with a waterfall of long blue hair and a pair of extremely beautiful blue eyes over to him.
"Big Brother Ling, Yan'er finally sees you again! Two days ago, weren't the rumors in school saying you had come? Why couldn't Yan'er find you anywhere in the school?"
Zhao Ling looked at the girl with short, deep purple hair and emerald green eyes, a gentle smile appearing on his face. "Ah, the Poison Titled Douluo's granddaughter? Long time no see. Are you still used to studying at Blue Overlord Academy?"
Dugu Yan puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, complaining about Zhao Ling's address. "Big Brother Ling, how many times have I told you? Just call me Yan'er! Why do you never listen?"
"Uh..." Zhao Ling chuckled awkwardly. Ever since he had helped Dugu Bo and her cure the Jade Phosphor Serpent poison, this girl had come to Blue Overlord Academy after graduating from the junior spirit master academy. And she always hoped he would call her by her most intimate name. Zhao Ling somewhat understood this; this girl had probably become his little fangirl.
At this moment, the girl of the same age next to Dugu Yan was curiously sizing up Zhao Ling, then whispered to her, "Yan-yan, is this the Big Brother Ling you talk about, who cured you and your grandfather, and who captured your heart? Hmm, he's really handsome, but... what about Tianheng? He's had feelings for you since he was very young..."
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes at her friend's whisper, also lowering her voice. "Don't mention Yu Tianheng in front of me! Just because he likes me, does that mean I have to like him? Is he even one-tenth as handsome as Big Brother Ling? Obviously not! I like Big Brother Ling, and he's the one I want to marry in the future. Lingling, don't tell me you don't feel anything for Big Brother Ling. Big Brother Ling is so handsome... Is there any man who can compare to Big Brother Ling? I don't think so, right?"
Ye Lingling pouted and retorted to Dugu Yan, "Come on, I'm not as infatuated as you are. Although your Big Brother Ling is super handsome, he's too much of a philanderer. He has so many confidantes; I don't want to throw myself into the fire like a moth."
"Really? Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your brain?" Dugu Yan looked at her best friend like she was a strange creature. In this world, there were actually women who didn't like Big Brother Ling?
"You're the one with something wrong with your brain! He's handsome, yes, but he might not be my happiness." Ye Lingling glanced at Zhao Ling again, then continued to whisper with Dugu Yan.
Although the two girls tried to keep their whispers as low as possible, with Zhao Ling's current strength, he could easily hear everything they said. Zhao Ling hadn't expected the girl with long blue hair and beautiful blue eyes before him to be Ye Lingling, the current possessor of the Nine Hearts Begonia Spirit. He had truly misjudged...
