Douluo Dalu: An Uchiha Traveler

After the formation is dismissed, Su Fan goes to Sotou City to collect the equipment he ordered from the blacksmith's shop. He does not bring Xiao Wu because of the presence of two Title Douluo, while Zhu Zhuqing is busy training.

When he arrives, he sees the shop owner sitting at the cashier's bench. Upon seeing Su Fan, the owner calls one of his subordinates.

"Take this young master to pick up his order."

The subordinate then leads Su Fan to a room where various weapons such as kunai, small and large shuriken, and several coiled wires are displayed. Su Fan takes a pouch of money and hands it to the subordinate.

"I will take care of the rest."

The subordinate nods and leaves the room. Su Fan picks up some kunai, shuriken, and a roll of wire, placing them into the pouch hanging behind him. He then puts several shuriken into a small scroll and attaches it to both of his wrists. Next, he takes out a normal size scroll then unrolls it and places all of his ordered weapons onto it. Once everything is set, Su Fan quickly forms a hand seal.

"Sealing Technique: Seal."

Instantly, all the weapons disappear from the scroll. Su Fan rolls up the scroll again and hangs it next to the pouch containing his shuriken and kunai.

Su Fan then leaves the blacksmith's shop and decides to return to the academy. On the way, he sees Ning Rongrong enjoying herself walking alone around the city. As soon as Ning Rongrong notices Su Fan, she rushes toward him and grabs his arm. The surrounding men immediately glare at Su Fan with disdain.

"Su Fan! What are you doing here?"

"I just picked up my weapon order from the blacksmith shop in this city."

"Are you talking about the weapons you used when fighting Teacher Zhao?"

"Yes. By the way, why are you here? Shouldn't you still be completing the task Flender assigned you?"

"Hmph! That bastard is so unreasonable! I thought the running distance he gave was short, but I didn't expect it to be so far! And I have to do 20 laps! Seriously, if I actually completed that, I wouldn't be called a little witch anymore!"

'I have to say, you're quite bold to curse Flender in public. Don't you think he might be watching you from somewhere?'

"Alright, but let me remind you, Flender's intentions aren't as simple as you think."

"Su Fan, what do you mean?"

Ning Rongrong looks into Su Fan's eyes and notices his gaze shifting toward an alley. After thinking for a moment, she finally understands his message.

"You mean—"

Before she can finish speaking, Su Fan places a finger on her lips. Ning Rongrong immediately feels the smooth yet firm texture of his finger. Her face turns red as Su Fan leans closer. At this moment, Ning Rongrong can clearly see Su Fan's handsome face up close.

'His face is so close. Look at his facial structure, his nose, his eyes, his skin, and especially h-his lips. They look so soft. I wonder what they feel like—'

"Ning Rongrong... Hey..."

Ning Rongrong snaps back to reality. Su Fan calls her multiple times, but she doesn't respond. She had been too focused on observing his face. Her expression looks almost predatory, as if she is about to devour Su Fan. Seeing this, Su Fan sighs and gives up on warning her about Flender's plan. He worries she might drag him somewhere and do something unexpected.

"Y-yes, Su Fan... What is it?"

"Forget it. I'm heading back to the academy to train."

Before Su Fan can leave, Ning Rongrong clings to his arm again.

"Su Fan, how about keeping me company for a while?"

"Instead of playing around, you should prepare to face Flender."

Su Fan pulls his arm away from Ning Rongrong's grasp, but she holds on tightly.

"Ning Rongrong, let go!"

"No way! If you leave, I'll scream!"

"Screaming won't help you. Now let go, I want to return to the academy."

"Really? Then..."

Ning Rongrong's face suddenly turns sad as she releases his hand and collapses onto the ground, crying loudly, attracting the attention of many onlookers.

"Wuwuwu! Su Fan, you don't want me anymore! Wuwuwu! After everything I've given you, even myself! Now you're abandoning me! Wuwuwu! Su Fan, you're so cruel!"

She cries so loudly that the men who had already been glaring at Su Fan are now prepared to beat him up.

Su Fan is completely stunned by Ning Rongrong's actions. He never expected the heiress of one of the three great sects to pull such a stunt.

'This is bad. If I fight back and hit these guys standing up for Ning Rongrong, my name and reputation will be tarnished in this city. If that happens, I'll be labeled as a scumbag wherever I go. Worse, I can't just walk away either, or the reputation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will be damaged, and news of Ning Rongrong being "bullied" will surely reach her two grandfathers. If that happens, I won't escape unless I take a proper beating from two Title Douluo and may exposed Xiao Wu identity. In this case, I have no choice...'

Su Fan, who previously had a blank expression, suddenly smiles widely. His smile is as bright as the sun. He then romantically kneels and holds Ning Rongrong's hand with both of his.

"Rongrong, I was just joking. Don't you know how much I love you? How could I possibly leave you? But because of my responsibilities, I have to go. However, if you still want me, I am willing to accompany you anywhere."

Ning Rongrong looks at Su Fan's "affectionate" face. Unfortunately, his acting isn't perfect, as his lips twitch slightly. Smiling slyly, she says:

"Liar! You're only saying that because there are so many people watching."

Su Fan's face twitches even more, barely maintaining his act. But he calms himself and smoothly responds:

"Rongrong, what can I do to make you believe me?"

"Kiss me in front of everyone!"

Su Fan freezes, completely stunned by her request. Everyone can see the reluctance on his face.

"See! You only dare to do it in private because you have another girl, don't you?!"

The crowd immediately turns hostile, cursing and criticizing Su Fan. Realizing that holding back would be pointless, he sighs internally.

'I try to help you and this is what I get?! Ning Rongrong, I Su Fan have to admit you truly deserve the title of Little Witch!'

Without hesitation, Su Fan kisses Ning Rongrong passionately. Realizing her plan has worked, Ning Rongrong eagerly returns the kiss.

Smooch!

Smooch!

They kiss for a while before finally separating. Su Fan's face is bright red, and he breathes heavily—not from the kiss but from the sheer embarrassment. Even so, he forces himself to keep smiling, knowing that all his suffering will be for nothing if he doesn't.

'My first kiss in this world is gone... ' Su Fan feel really sad that his first is gone just because a girl little trick.

"So? Are you satisfied now?"

"Call me darling."

Su Fan's face twitches again, but he forces himself to comply.

"D-darling..."

Seeing Su Fan's rare flustered expression brings Ning Rongrong immense satisfaction. Especially since this dazzling smile of his is something no one else has ever seen because his flat face he puts every day. She then happily hugs his arm again.

"I believe you, darling! Now, how about we take a stroll around the city?"

Su Fan has no choice but to nod. Then, he looks at the crowd.

"Sorry for taking up your time, but thank you for your help. If not for you, he might have—"

An old man responds, "It's alright, young lady. It's no big deal. We just couldn't stand by and let a girl like you be bullied by a brat like him."

"Yeah! Miss, if he ever mistreats you, just come to us! We'll make sure to teach this scumbag a lesson!"

More and more people join in supporting Ning Rongrong, and she sincerely thanks them.

Su Fan, hearing their words, remains silent. If not for his reputation, he would have already taught them what it feels like to burn in Amaterasu's flames.
