Rong Xing noticed the gazes coming from all directions, but he didn't care. He couldn't help but smile and said softly, "Tomorrow night will definitely be mine."
"Do you know how to cheat?" Fang Ruotang was a little surprised, not knowing that Rong Xing had such methods.
Rong Xing smiled and said nothing. Instead, he gently touched Fang Ruotang's cheek with his fingertips, feeling relaxed and happy.
He does not cheat.
Because other people will give him the green light.
When Fang Ruotang said she hoped it would be him tomorrow night, it definitely would be him tomorrow night.
This was a tacit understanding among the six of them, but Fang Ruotang had never noticed it. After all, all six of them, frankly speaking, wanted to make Fang Ruotang happy.
Therefore, it is impossible to knowingly disappoint her after already knowing her thoughts.
"Hmm, I'll secretly do a little something extra later."
"Okay, then don't let them find out, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to beat all five of them by yourself. But don't be too afraid, I will definitely protect you."
Fang Ruotang lowered her voice and answered softly, her voice sounding gentle and light.
Rong Xing couldn't help but smile broadly, like a plum blossom suddenly blooming on an iceberg, making people want to take a second look.
"Okay, okay, you look best when you smile."
"Then I'll smile at you more often from now on."
Rong Xing stared intently at Fang Ruotang.
Fang Ruotang nodded happily.
Seeing the two of them acting as if no one else was around, the other five people were green with envy.
They all wished they could stick pins in effigies and beat up the villains.
This Rong Xing seems quiet and unassuming, but his methods are truly despicable. He secretly bribed Xiao Jingzi to find so many storybooks based on him for Fang Ruotang to read, which made Fang Ruotang treat him differently.
They've completely treated him like a substitute for the male lead in a storybook, they've taken him too seriously, and it's a complete case of the newcomer surpassing the old one, which is incredibly infuriating to watch.
What's most infuriating is that they all started from the same point and each tried to understand Fang Ruotang's daily preferences, but no one was as clever as him. He immediately found a loophole in the matter and forcefully squeezed into Fang Ruotang's heart.
In their interactions, Fang Ruotang always took the initiative.
This is infuriating!
The other five people are not without a way to replicate Rong Xing's path.
But in this kind of thing, apart from the first person to try it, those who come later don't gain much.
Firstly, Fang Ruotang has less time to read novels nowadays, and secondly, Fang Ruotang knows the ins and outs of this matter, so every time she sees a male protagonist who is similar to them, she always laughs heartily and has no time to appreciate the male protagonist's personal charm.
Without appreciation, how can one transfer affection to them?
Anyway, they tried hard to replicate it, but the results weren't very good.
"Come here, give me a hug!"
After letting go of Rong Xing, Fang Ruotang waved to Gu Nancheng, who was standing there dumbfounded, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing? Don't you want to hug me?"
Gu Nancheng rushed over immediately.
"So I can hug people too!"
As he spoke, he hugged Fang Ruotang tightly, like a big dog.
Fang Ruotang struggled, feeling both amused and exasperated.
She wasn't actually short; using the previous world's calculation method, she was 1.62 meters tall. But after Xiao Jingzi approached her, she grew to 1.72 meters in just one or two years.
But the six men, for some reason, had all grown to be 1.88 meters tall, making her look like a little baby in their presence.
Actually, young men and women from families like theirs are not short. Before she had a growth spurt, she was of average height among women, since her family had no shortage of food and drink.
Like the four sisters in the Fang family, she used to be the shortest because of her poor health, but now she has suddenly become the tallest.
"Of course! We agreed to each take a hug." Fang Ruotang struggled a bit to make Gu Nancheng hug her less tightly before answering him.
The two stayed together the whole time, so they didn't say anything sentimental.
Fang Ruotang hugged him briefly and then let go. The spirit boat had just arrived at its destination, and the group disembarked, passed through the forest, and returned to Dayong.
Upon returning, Fang Ruotang observed the situation and found little change.
Time was of the essence, and she didn't have time to look around much. She took out the spirit boat and returned to the capital, heading straight for the Prime Minister's residence.
"Sixth Miss is back."
Upon seeing Fang Ruotang, the gatekeeper exclaimed with delight.
One person came up and spoke respectfully, while another quickly ran into the inner courtyard and loudly relayed the message.
Fang Ruotang released the spiritual energy that had been channeled into the soles of her feet, and walked steadily into the inner courtyard. Along the way, the maids and servants of the mansion came out and called out to her with joy.
Fang Ruotang responded with a smile to each of them.
"Xiao Liu, you're back?"
Madam Cui was the first to run out. She had been receiving shopkeepers in the main hall of the courtyard and was the first to hear the news. She immediately told the shopkeepers to come back another time and then ran out.
"Aunt, I'm back! Did you miss me? I missed you so much, I couldn't eat or sleep properly."
Last time, Fang Ruotang hugged Cui Shi tightly and nuzzled her head against her. In the past, she and Cui Shi were almost touching, which was convenient.
Now she has to bend over slightly to get the right height.
Cui was so coaxed that she could only see her gums and not her eyes. Although she also had a daughter, neither Sheng Tang nor Wantang would express their longing so loudly.
Fang Ruotang was favored at home, not because she was in poor health. Her poor health would only elicit pity from her family. But she won the whole family's love entirely because of her sweet-talking words.
"Your aunt missed you too. Now that you're back, stay a few more days. Look at you, you've lost so much weight since you were away for so long. It's good that you're back. Your aunt will help you recover properly."
"Hehe, no thanks! I have other matters to attend to in the Cloud Deep Continent. I'm here to deliver some pills to you. I've found someone who can refine the Spirit Root Fruit. After you eat it, you'll also be able to develop spiritual roots and come with us to the Cloud Deep Continent."
Most people in the family have useless spiritual roots. They have all five elements, but their upper limits are not high, which is why they are called useless spiritual roots.
If the upper limit is high, and it can be the same as a single spiritual root, then it's another way of saying it. It's a full spiritual root, a genius among geniuses. Others with full spiritual roots are called trash because they don't have enough cultivation resources and their cultivation speed is slow, but Fang Ruotang doesn't lack these.
If one or more of her relatives can truly awaken a complete spiritual root, then the Fang family will have truly gained a foothold in the new world.
In the future, it will surely develop into a family of immortal cultivators like the Qin family.
"Is time so tight? Your grandfather and the others aren't home. I'll send someone to invite them back now. Your grandmother is in her yard. We'll go straight there. Your grandmother has been talking about you a lot. She'll be so happy to know you're back."
Not daring to delay Fang Ruotang's affairs, Cui immediately ordered her servants to invite people, and also notified the second branch of the family to come to the old lady's courtyard.
