Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!!

"Hey, Ruo'er, do you think Noah is ignoring me?" Ma Li suddenly changed the topic, which once again made the atmosphere a little gloomy.

~~Silence!~~

'Pfft! Why is it that man again?' Tian Heng, who had started the conversation, spat in his mind. 'So jealous!!!'

While he was getting jealous, Jiang Shi and Xueyan also had complicated looks on their faces. It was as if they thought the same.

Noah was the person who brought them to this unfamiliar place, and now he doesn't even spend time with them or train them.

"Sigh~" Seeing the look on their faces, Ruo'er sighed loudly, "Don't think too much… We are all facing difficult times, and he is focusing on his training."

The girls lowered their heads, understanding her words. They knew it was a little selfish of them to look for Noah all the time, but they wanted things to go back to how they were when they were adventuring together in the secret realm.

Ma Li was the most affected as she recalled the scene of Noah and Xin Yan's hug before everyone. She could feel her chest tightening at the mere thought, and not in a good way.

"Hmph! What training? He's just a crooked guy who knows how to play with the hearts of young girls." She spat coldly, resentment clearly laced in her voice, but soon it died down as well. "What a bastard..."

'Idiot Noah,' A pout appeared on her face as Ma Li leaned forward to hug her own knees. Now the soft walls of the room did not feel so comfortable to her.

'Don't stop, sister Ma Li! You are definitely right.' Tian Heng was more than happy to hear someone curse Noah in the open and looked at the girl with hope. 'Please keep going, he is definitely a bastard!'

Ruo'er's eyes flashed with a cold light at hearing her words, but then… she exhaled loudly before shaking her head.

With pursed lips, she looked around, not knowing how to change the atmosphere of the room. 'How am I supposed to deal with this mess?'

There was no way an introvert like her could do the same thing she pulled just now twice. 'How much I hope that irresponsible guy comes and solves the mess he created.'

"Why do I feel like someone in this room is cursing me?" Just as everyone was silently lost in their own thoughts, a calm and soothing voice tore through the gloomy atmosphere instantly.

Everyone trembled, hearing the familiar voice, before their heads jerked almost at the same time in the direction of the door.

At the entrance of the room stood the very person they had been gossiping about, leaning against the wall. Beside him stood Xin Yan with a small smile on her face.

Her eyes scanned through the small group gathered in the room; a hint of protectiveness flashed through them.

"Wha—?" Seeing the man looking in her direction, Ma Li tensed in her place. She did not know how to react to the current situation. 'Did he hear what we were saying about him?'

Sweat started rolling down her back as she looked at the other three girls for help, who conveniently looked in the opposite direction, not even bothering to acknowledge her presence.

'These bitches!!!' She screamed in her mind and looked back at Noah with a forced smile.

"I thought the voice was very familiar." Noah spoke, still maintaining a smile, but anyone with eyes could see the dark look on his face.

But then... "I wonder who it was. Well, anyway, it doesn't matter. They will receive their karma anyway." Noah suddenly ignored the woman as if she wasn't even in the room.

Ma Li, who was about to break down under his sharp gaze, froze as if lightning had struck her! The girls, who were looking away from the two of them, felt their lips twitch.

'Is this his way of punishing this girl?' Yuan Ming couldn't help but find the whole interaction amusing. From the corner of his eyes, he saw his brother chewing a piece of cloth to hide his grievances, which made him puzzled.

Unlike Yuan Ming, the girls did not think it was a punishment for Ma Li.

'What is he doing? Does he want to give her some kind of reward for cursing him?' Jiang Shi froze as she glanced at Ma Li, only to see her looking down, her face covered by long hair, hiding her expression.

*Gulp!*

She could have sworn she saw a gleam flash through the girl's eyes from the gaps in her hair, even if just momentarily.

'Ah, she is a lost cause…' Shaking her head, she looked back at Noah, who at some point had moved closer to them and sat in the middle of the group.

"It's been a long time since I've had time to talk to you guys like this." A smile appeared on Xin Yan's face as she watched Noah interacting with all of them from afar.

"Aunty, what are you doing there? Come sit with us." Ruo'er seemed to notice Xin Yan still standing at the door and hurriedly called her. Even though she missed the woman, she was too shy to admit it.

Xin Yan smiled and sat closer to Ruo'er, listening in on the conversation. Even though they were a little hesitant to open up to Noah at first, they slowly started talking to him.

"What have you been doing all this time?" But whenever it was Ma Li who asked the questions, he would simply ignore the girl.

She bit her lip as her eyes turned misty. Her delicate appearance caused the two boys to feel pity for her. They thought Noah was being too harsh on her but could not bring themselves to say anything to him.

Jiang Shi, who knew better, just lowered her head. She was not surprised to see the girl, whom they were pitying, subtly rubbing her legs against each other.

Dark lines appeared on her face as Jiang Shi decided to put an end to this. She looked at Noah and asked the same question as if nothing had happened.
