I'm in Star Iron, and I draw power from the Inner World every week.

"Well, as long as you're happy."

Su Yang smiled gently and patted Ai Li's head.

"Don't treat them like children. They were clearly made to look this big on purpose."

Ellie pouted and bounced her soft conscience between her hands.

"Ok."

"So perfunctory."

Ellie gave Su Yang the middle finger.

"Well, now that we've come this far, I'd like to ask you in return, what's your opinion of me?"

"Of course, they're my most important partner!"

"Then why bother with pranks? It's unacceptable for friendship to deteriorate like this."

"...But you have those kinds of thoughts about all the girls around you, except for this one. Of course she'll think there's something wrong, right?"

"Doesn't this better reflect your uniqueness? My [romance] with each person is unique, and this romance called [friendship] is no exception."

"cut."

Ellie remained silent, only repeatedly giving Su Yang the middle finger.

This pink-haired fairy lady's behavior is a bit like that of a sulking girlfriend.

Su Yang smiled and gave Ai Li the middle finger, then...

His clothes suddenly ripped.

"cough!?"

Jingliu almost choked to death on his drink.

She chose to blindfold herself again and continue drinking as if nothing had happened.

"Eh?"

Ellie was also taken aback.

"You've seen this attitude enough already, so there's nothing to hide now."

"That's true, but why are you suddenly acting like this towards her? What, you finally couldn't hold back your innermost thoughts anymore?"

What do you think when you see me like this?

"Uh, that's pretty exaggerated?"

Ellie looked down.

"and then?"

"Nothing more. Just as you said, I've seen your attitude many times before. Besides, you're someone's most important partner. It would be strange if you had any other thoughts."

Ellie gave Su Yang a reproachful glare.

"So you understand how I feel now."

"So you went through all that trouble just to find a different way to reject them?"

"It's not a rejection, but rather a further step towards mutual understanding."

"Tsk."

Ellie gave Su Yang the middle finger.

At this time.

Jingliu took two steps forward and came to Su Yang.

"Master, what's wrong?"

“You unfilial disciple, you are indeed carefree by nature. With this attitude, it’s amazing that you can still ask ‘what’s wrong?’”

"Master, I apologize. I was just testing my friendship with Ellie."

"whispering sound."

With a look of disgust, Jingliu removed the black veil from her eyes and freed her fair, beautiful feet from her boots.

The moment the black veil was removed, coupled with Jingliu's small feet, it was like a fleeting moment of ephemeral beauty, leaving Su Yang somewhat mesmerized.

"!?"

Su Yang gasped.

Because Kagami didn't hesitate to kick his weapon.

The weapon, which had been rather listless, suddenly gained energy and collided directly with Kagami's foot with a loud thud.

"You wicked disciple, you're getting more and more despicable."

The disgust on Jingliu's face intensified.

"This [romance] belongs exclusively to Master."

Su Yang's expression was serious.

He doesn't have the passive ability to feel pleasure from being hit; in this respect, it is indeed a unique kind of [romance] belonging to the Mirror School.

On the other side, the only thing they did was put him on the defensive; they didn't use any moves that were not very offensive but extremely humiliating.

Sensing that a battle was about to break out, Ellie wisely got up and ran to the edge of the courtyard, acting as a camera while also keeping watch.

After Ai Li also took her position, Jing Liu's initial look of disdain towards Su Yang gradually turned into a playful and teasing smile.

Her Ace-like attributes exploded.

Without continuing to speak to Su Yang, she kicked at the location of his weapon again.

"!"

Su Yang remained unmoved, like a mountain.

Whip-Clad Hero's weapon was already as hard as steel; even if Mirror Flow kicked him with a little more force, he could withstand it.

"Oh? You unfilial disciple, you actually consider this a form of cultivation?"

"Yes."

"That's quite abstract. Your teacher has no intention of cooperating with you in this regard, you unfilial disciple."

Jingliu raised his other foot, the one that wasn't used to kick Su Yang's weapon, and shoved it directly in front of Su Yang.

"My disciple, what should you do next?"

Holding up her delicate white feet, Jingliu asked in a teasing tone.

"I want to eat it, but if I kiss Master's lips afterwards, won't Master feel disgusted?"

"...I don't intend to let you kiss me."

"My disciple longs for a kiss."

"Shut up, you wicked disciple."

Jingliu kicked Su Yang in the mouth.

Su Yang gracefully dodged the kick, and even casually flicked his bangs before retaliating by picking up Jing Liu in a princess carry.

"?"

Jingliu tilted his head.

"Master, I will not eat it until our relationship progresses further."

"...If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Why are you clinging to your teacher?"

"Master, I love you."

"What a pity, in my eyes you are just a child...you unfilial disciple! You've made your teacher uncomfortable."

"Master, please help me deal with this."

Su Yang smiled gently.

"you..."

"Master, this will not happen again."

Su Yang hugged Jing Liu tighter.

Although he enjoyed being passive when interacting with Kagami, he knew that remaining passive indefinitely would lead nowhere.

Occasionally, a strong punch must be delivered.

“…”

Jingliu remained silent.

As Su Yang put her down, she couldn't help but look down.

Finally, after a few seconds of internal struggle, she reached out her little hand.

"Master, where are the feet?"

"Too lazy to move."

Jing Liu glared at Su Yang, ignored his request, and simply grabbed his weapon.

"Master, the force is not right. You need to slow down a bit and then get the rhythm right."

"So many demands."

Jingliu's tone was completely uncooperative, but his hands obediently changed the rhythm.

"Master, I love you."

"Shut up."

"Oh."

Silence enveloped the two, and Jingliu gradually found his rhythm.

Su Yang was also enveloped in romance for the first time in a long time, and was momentarily dazed.

Coincidentally.

Ellie sent a message to Su Yang.

"Feixiao is here!"

"Ok?"

"They let her in."

"and many more..."

Before Su Yang could stop them, a gust of wind suddenly flew into the courtyard.

"Su..."

Feixiao, who had just run to the pavilion, froze on the spot.

Su Yang, who was completely unequipped, was being unilaterally attacked by Jing Liu using superb techniques.

“…”

Jingliu froze in place.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Su Yang's bloodline was already dangerous, and Fei Xiao's appearance only accelerated this process.

Even after Jingliu stopped, Su Yang still unleashed his ultimate attack.

Pfft!

A massive torrent surged forth.

Not only Jingliu, but even Feixiao, who had just joined the attack, was not spared from being overwhelmed by it.

“…”

“…”
