"Xiao San, you have to be strong. Everything you lose today will be taken back with your own hands in the future."
Witnessing the two figures drifting away, Dai Mubai walked out of a dark corner.
Watching Tang San weep bitterly, he comforted him.
That's different...
Tang San felt sad, as Xiao Wu had a more important identity.
She is a one hundred thousand year soul beast, this is really too big.
In any case, he must try his best to win Xiao Wu back to his side.
"Why didn't you help me?"
Tang San cried.
"That person is powerful."
The power of the Holy King in Dai Mubai's body has reminded him earlier. He can still feel heart palpitations now.
"Let's go, it's time to return."
Dai Mubai looked forward to this day for too long.
.....
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
It was almost late at night when Lin Yan returned to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
Although there was a teacher on duty in front of the door, he dared not stop him after seeing Lin Yan's figure.
This is a big man in Heaven Dou City.
Poison Douluo had already informed the leaders of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, that the boss's actions were to be completely ignored. Don't block him either.
In this regard, everyone is also deeply convinced, they all know that this is a big man that can't be offended.
No words along the way as Lin Yan walked in with Xiao Wu.
Not long after, they came to a mansion.
Yes, It's a mansion.
It is the dormitory of Zhu Zhuqing and others.
If it were placed in the previous life, Lin Yan felt that this would be the villa area with so many mansions.
Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Zhu Zhuqing, each living alone in such a luxurious environment.
"Here, this is the dormitory."
"Is this my future residence?"
Xiao Wu was stunned.
It was the first time she saw such a luxurious house as a dormitory.
She was shocked by the comfort enjoyed by the rich.
....
At the same time, in the mansion opposite this mansion.
There is a delicate figure watching everything through the window all the time.
"He's back, he's finally back."
Ning Rongrong's voice was full of surprises.
However, she soon became unhappy.
Her little mouth pouted, because she saw Xiao Wu following Lin Yan.
"Huh, you bad guy, I have been waiting for you for so long, but you went outside to provoke the flowers."
"Are you worthy of the meticulous preparation for so long?"
"If you don't come, my makeup that has been painted would be for nothing, and I have been painted for nothing!"
Ning Rongrong saw Lin Yan talking with the girl in the pink short skirt.
Her jet black eyes were full of indignation.
Hump.
Out of sight out of mind.
She simply sat down on the bed. It may be that she couldn't vent her boredom, so she grabbed the quilt casually, her lips and teeth clenched on the corner of the quilt.
This is to vent the dissatisfaction in her heart.
From the attire, it can be seen that she was really well-dressed.
It is different from the previous princess dress or little fairy dress.
Today, she is extremely seductive.
Her pair of slender legs are wrapped in black half-tube stockings, a black pleated skirt sets off a round buttocks, and a small uniform with a slim upper body...This is a properly dressed JK girl.
"Ah... I'm so angry."
Even so, it is not enough to vent the anger in her heart.
She kicked her feet and the little black leather shoes fell to the ground. Those cute little feet stepped on those carefully prepared leather shoes one after another, releasing the dissatisfaction in her heart.
"When will you come? Are you really not coming?
Am I not a little baby anymore, or is the girl outside so sweet? "
Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes suddenly condensed, as if she had made up her mind.
"Huh, men are all big trotters!
No, I have to take the initiative to take back what belongs to me.
The teacher always said that the twisted melon is not sweet. But, it quench your thirst. "
Ning Rongrong's teeth stopped tormenting the quilt and threw the quilt aside in disgust.
The cute little feet wrapped in black silk stepped into the little black leather shoes.
Ning Rongrong came to the door in a few steps . But when she put her hands on the door handle and was about to push it open, she suddenly stopped.
"If I go straight to the door to find him, doesn't it seem that I am very shameless..."
"Who doesn't want to save face?"
"No! Be reserved!"
Ning Rongrong pursed her red lips and inserted the door lock in a fit of anger.
"Humph! Stinky man, you have no chance!"
"This time even if you wake up and come to me again, I won't open the door for you!"
"Who doesn't have a temper anymore!"
"Men are big trotters, nothing so rare."
Ning Rongrong's face was full of arrogant expressions, as she plucked her dangling hair.
Then, slowly walked to the bed. Kicking off the small leather shoes, she plunged one end into the quilt, wrapping her body in the quilt.
She slowly closed her beautiful eyes.
"Good night!"
In the dark boudoir, only a few rays of star and moon light trickled in from the gap as the room plunged into silence.
.....
In front of the yard.
"You will live here in the future, but the teacher in charge of logistics will reassign your room tomorrow. You live with me today. Enter the door and turn right. You can pick one of the rooms."
Lin Yan said so.
It was such a relaxed environment that gave him the opportunity to find Tang Yuehua.
No, I have to go to Ning Rongrong's today.
Goddess or not, she will really be annoyed of him if he didn't go.
"Um!"
Xiao Wu nodded heavily. But thinking about living with Lin Yan, she was still very worried.
Last time, I was a bunny, right?
It's really warm to be held in his arms.
However, the next moment, she couldn't help but feel surprised.
Because Lin Yan left the mansion.
This?
Don't you rest?
Or am I in the wrong mansion?
Xiao Wu is not in the wrong mansion.
Lin Yan was going to the wrong mansion, and he knew it.
But he still came to the mansion opposite of his.
...
"Da da da."
It was the sound of footsteps, although she knew that the other party had tried his best to control it.
However, Ning Rongrong heard this sound. She opened her eyes for an instant, and directly sat up.
Her beautiful eyes revealed strong brilliance, even a little dazzling.
"You came!"
"Have you slept?"
Someone stood outside the door and asked softly.
"Who?"
"It's me."
Hearing the familiar voice outside the door, Ning Rongrong was pleasantly surprised.
Throwing off the quilt, she turned over and got out of the bed. The action is completed in one go.
Regardless of wearing shoes, Ning Rongrong's little feet stomped on the floor a few times, she came to the door of the room.
"Come in."
With one deep breath, her face changed.
She forgot about being angry before, she now smiled like a flower.
As the door opened, Lin Yan stood at the door, looking apologetic.
"Sorry Rongrong, I'm late."
Ning Rongrong's eyes were bent into crescent moons.
"No, I can only say it's just the right time, hehe."
"You seem to have just finished freshening up."
Ning Rongrong straightened out her hair with a well-behaved face.
"Rongrong, you are so beautiful today."
Ning Rongrong's smile became even thicker.
"Really?"
"Do you like it?"
Lin Yan shook his head, "It looks better when you smile."
Ning Rongrong affectionately grabbed the man's big hand, urging him to come inside.
"Come in, it's windy outside."
Lin Yan saw the girl's cute jade feet touching the cold floor without any hindrance, and said strangely: "Rongrong, why are you out without shoes."
Ning Rongrong blushed, and she could only stick out her tongue in embarrassment.
She couldn't say anything, because she was too anxious, so she forgot to wear it.
"What should I do if you catch a cold?"
Lin Yan shook his head and let out an sigh of irritation.
He leaned over, gently picked up the girl in a princess carry, and walked towards the bed.
"Um!"
Ning Rongrong bent over the man's broad arms and felt the temperature coming from the man's chest.
There is also the unique smell on the body, that made her whole body numb, as her limbs became soft.
What I have been looking forward to for a long time, has finally come.
She felt like a little deer was ramming around in her heart.
"I have been waiting for you."
Lin Yan put the girl in his arms lightly on the bed and stroked her hair with big hands.
"Aren't I here, now?"
Ning Rongrong liked the sense of security brought about by big hands. She looked at the man's perfect handsome face and leaned forward and gave a quick kiss on the man's cheek.
"All the waiting is worth it."
'Tear.'
The black silk was torn apart by violence.

AUGUST 12
WORLD ELEPHANT DAY
____________________________________________
They're intelligent. They're family-oriented. They have great memories. They are capable of feeling a wide range of deep emotions, from intense grief to joy bordering on elation, as well as empathy and stunning self-awareness. They create complex, supportive societies much like our own.
Taking into consideration all of that and much, much more, what's not to love about elephants? Still, countless elephants are brutally killed every year for their ivory by greedy poachers who then leave their carcasses to rot in the sun. As Graydon Carter, Editor of Vanity Fair put it:
We admire elephants in part because they demonstrate what we consider the finest human traits, but the way we treat them puts on display the very worst of human behavior.
World Elephant Day is the perfect time to find out more about these amazing animals and what we can do to preserve and protect them so they do not go the way of the mammoth.
World Elephant Day was created in 2011 by two Canadian filmmaker Patricia Sims and Thailand's Elephant Reintroduction Foundation and first celebrated on August 12, 2012. The initiative was greatly supported by film star and Star Trek legend William Shatner who narrated the documentary Return to the Forest, a fascinating 30-minute film about the reintroduction of captive Asian elephants to the wild.
The motivation for the first World Elephant Day was to draw attention to the plight of these majestic creatures to populations and cultures all over the world. Due to their pleasant and intelligent nature, the world's largest land animals are loved worldwide. But, unfortunately, these magnificent creatures face multiple threats to their survival.
One major issue is the ivory trade. Currently, the demand for ivory is the biggest in China, with the price of ivory often exceeding the price of gold, something that makes elephants bigger targets than ever. The economics here work firmly against the humble elephant. Extreme levels of poverty in Africa mean that people can often make a month's wages or more from the ivory of a single animal, selling it on the international market.
Furthermore, the parts of the world that demand ivory, such as China, are becoming increasingly wealthy, meaning that they can pay more for tusks. These dual factors are combining to make elephant poaching one of the most lucrative activities on the plant.
Habitation loss is also a danger to the world's elephant population as it deprives elephants of the hundreds of pounds of food they need every day, making it more difficult for them to breed and making it easier for poachers to track them down. Unfortunately, researchers believe that loss of habitat is the primary driver for the loss of elephants in the wild. A century ago, they numbered more than 12 million in the wild. Today, that figure may be as low as 400,000, with as many as 20,000 per year killed by poachers.
Data suggest that the geographic range of elephants fell by around 30 percent between 2002 and 2011, with a similar loss of savannah for them to roam. The introduction of large parks throughout Africa has allowed habitat destruction to stabilize, but illegal poaching remains a dire threat. Circuses and tourism are also serious problems for the animals' well-being.
World Elephant Day is an opportunity for everyone to get together to find ways to reduce conflict between humans and elephants. The solution probably lies in a combination of strategies. These could include land development that minimizes habitat destruction, electric fences to keep elephants away from farms, and changes in local attitudes.
Luckily, an increasing number of both celebrities and politicians have become interested in the cause, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Ashley Judd, and President Barack Obama.
