The next day.
The master bedroom.
A surge of Soul Power erupted as Ning Rongrong broke through to level 30.
Pop!
Zhuge Lan withdrew.
He watched Ning Rongrong leap with joy, savoring the memory of their wild night.
Unlike Zhu Zhuqing's voluptuousness, Ning Rongrong's slender frame exuded a youthful charm, perfectly embodying the beauty of a young girl. Yet as the Young Clan Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she carried an innate air of nobility.
The combination was simply divine.
And the best part?
Another million Emotion Points had poured in!
As expected, the most primal human desires were the easiest to exploit.
Ning Rongrong bounced around for a while.
Noticing Zhuge Lan watching her with a smile, she instinctively tugged the bedsheet to cover her exposed skin.
"Now you're shy?" Zhuge Lan teased. "Last night, someone was eagerly offering—"
Emotion Points +55,555
Ning Rongrong clamped her hand over Zhuge Lan's mouth, her face burning with shame and indignation.
"Don't you dare say another word!"
"You big bully!"
"I told you I couldn't go on, but you still forced me with your healing soul bone skill!"
"I hate you!"
With that, she wrapped herself in the bedsheet and scurried away.
Zhuge Lan shrugged.
Zhuge Lan got up, ready to wash up.
Huh?
Ning Rongrong had run off, and Zhu Zhuqing was nowhere to be seen.
Having grown accustomed to being served, he stood there, momentarily stunned.
Just as he was about to retrieve his lost "washing up" memories and do it himself,
Creak—
Zhu Zhuqing entered the room.
Maintaining her usual cool demeanor, she squeezed toothpaste onto his brush and prepared hot water.
Everything seemed normal.
Emotion Points +11111
Emotion Points +11111
That's more like it.
No matter how rational a woman might be, she would inevitably feel some resentment about "sharing her lover."
However, Zhu Zhuqing's Emotion Points quickly vanished, her self-PUA complete.
This made Zhuge Lan once again marvel—Thank goodness the first woman I met was Zhu Zhuqing!
If it had been Ning Rongrong instead, would she have been this understanding?
Forget helping him flirt with other girls; just not throwing a tantrum would be considered mature behavior.
My Zhu Zhuqing's heart is pure, her magnanimity beyond words.
Without hesitation, Zhuge Lan wrapped his arms around Zhu Zhuqing's waist, gazing deeply into her eyes.
Though he said nothing, his gaze spoke volumes.
Zhu Zhuqing's cool gaze gradually softened. She returned his embrace, resting her head on his shoulder.
"It's okay," she said.
"I was just being a little greedy. I'll be fine soon."
Zhuge Lan was almost moved to tears.
She's even comforting me?
No!
I have to give my beloved wife some rewards!
For movement techniques, there's Spiral Nine Shadows; for attack skills, there's Crushing Divine Claw.
That should keep Zhu Zhuqing busy training.
So...
Level, Soul Ring, or Soul Bone—choose one.
Level's out of the question; she's stuck at Level 30.
A God-Given Soul Ring would guarantee the perfect match.
But...
The maximum lifespan for a God-Given Soul Ring is 100,000 years. Activating one with less than 10,000 years would be excessive.
Lower-tier Soul Rings won't be useful in the future either.
So, that's out too.
Then...
Soul Bone!
That's perfect.
Even newly awakened children can absorb 100,000-year Soul Bones.
Let's skip straight to the top!
System, list suitable 100,000-year Soul Bones for Zhu Zhuqing.
[100,000-Year Nether Spirit Cat Head Soul Bone: 2,000,000 Emotion Points!]
[100,000-Year Nether Spirit Cat Torso Soul Bone: 2,000,000 Emotion Points!]
[100,000-Year Nether Spirit Cat Left Arm Soul Bone: 2,000,000 Emotion Points!]
The names alone made it clear these were perfect for Zhu Zhuqing.
But...
Did the Nether Spirit Cat even exist as a soul beast?
Who cares? Just tell them it's from the family's hidden reserves.
Why such perfect timing?
Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't bother with such trivial questions.
Anyone else who dared ask would be met with a withering rebuke for their ignorance.
This was Zhuge Lan at his most ruthless, having completely abandoned morality.
But with five Soul Bones available, which one should he choose?
Taking them all would be bold, but his Emotion Point balance couldn't handle it.
When in doubt, go straight to the source:
System, which one is the most suitable? Buy that one.
[Consumed 2,000,000 Emotion Points to exchange for the 100,000-Year Nether Spirit Cat Head Soul Bone!]
Increase Soul Bone Age: 100 Emotion Points per year
Nether Spirit Cat Head Soul Bone: Enhances mental power and grants a Soul Bone Skill!
Soul Bone Skill: Shadow Clone: Summons multiple physical Shadow Clones, each sharing the user's Soul Power equally. Controlled by the user, these clones possess all the user's abilities except those derived from Soul Bones!
Soul Bone Skill: Lord of Shadows: Shadow Clones gain independent consciousness and limited resilience. Upon dissolution, their memories and experiences merge back into the user's mind!
Hey!
If it were just the Soul Bone Skill Shadow Clone, it would be a run-of-the-mill clone technique—the kind that requires constant mental focus to control. Just average.
But add the Soul Bone Skill Lord of Shadows, and it instantly becomes SSR-tier!
While the ability to operate independently is a nice bonus, the real game-changer lies in its potential for accelerated learning.
Anyone who's seen Naruto knows about the ultimate training cheat: the Shadow Clone Technique!
By exploiting the principle that "memories and experiences return to the original body," you can send physical clones to study and practice skills.
Each additional clone doubles your training progress!
And Zhu Zhuqing just so happens to be able to directly absorb martial arts knowledge—all she lacks is the time to digest it.
The System really knows how to pick them!
Without hesitation, Zhuge Lan retrieved the Nether Spirit Cat's head Soul Bone, took Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and placed it in her palm.
Emotion Points +11111
Zhu Zhuqing gripped the Soul Bone tightly, glancing at Zhuge Lan with a puzzled expression.
I know it's for me, but... aren't you going to say anything?
"I had the family send this specially. It's a Soul Bone dropped by a Nether Spirit Cat—it's definitely the best fit for you."
Emotion Points +52020
This is too smooth!
From the few words Zhuge Lan had spoken earlier, it wasn't hard to deduce that his family resided far beyond the Douluo Continent.
A truly immense distance!
And they had mobilized a Soul Bone just for her?
But the most unbelievable part was this:
The Nether Spirit Cat soul beast had been extinct for tens of thousands of years!
How could they still possess its Soul Bone?
Just how vast were Zhuge Lan's family's reserves?
Zhu Zhuqing's mind raced with thoughts.
Yet her expression remained cool and composed as she calmly stored the Soul Bone in her storage ring.
"We're leaving soon. I'll absorb it tonight."
So resilient?
Then...
Zhuge Lan is about to stir up trouble!
"You said you'd absorb it tonight, right?" Zhuge Lan baited, setting a trap.
Having known Zhuge Lan intimately, Zhu Zhuqing immediately sensed something was amiss.
But...
If Zhuge Lan wanted something, would she refuse?
She might as well play along.
She nodded in agreement.
Zhuge Lan grinned mischievously.
Leaning close to Zhu Zhuqing's ear, he whispered, blowing a puff of air—
"This Soul Bone... it's 100,000 years old~"
Zhu Zhuqing's reaction:
(●—●)
↓
(ω)
Emotion Points +99,999
A 100,000-year-old Soul Bone?!
Zhu Zhuqing took several deep breaths, but she couldn't contain herself.
Her icy expression twitched.
Regret!
I should have absorbed it right away!
What harm could Zhuge Lan possibly do?
Now look at this mess.
Holding a 100,000-year Soul Bone, yet I have to wait until nightfall to absorb it.
Emotion Points +99,595
