The next day.
Zhuge Lan woke up refreshed, and found that Zhu Zhuqing still had no movement.
He realized something was wrong!
'System, is there a problem with the goods you gave?'
[Soul bones, due to year level, attribute, compatibility, etc., if they reach a certain threshold, will directly replace the original bone. The longer the duration, the greater the benefit!]
[Zhu Zhuqing and the "Youming Lingmao Head Soul Bone" compatibility: 99.99%. Estimated absorption time: 124 hours. Remaining time: 107 hours 13 minutes 21 seconds!]
So that's how it was.
Zhuge Lan then remembered.
The little brat absorbing the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone also took three days and three nights.
'…It's my fault for blaming you.'
Since it still needed four days, then time to get to work!
Zhuge Lan launched several more rounds of "barbecue party."
Second day — small profit.
Third day — break even.
Fourth day — loss!
—This group had already adapted to the routine.
Worst case, they just vomited.
Emotion couldn't be fully pushed, repeating events lowered gains.
After one round, not even enough to compensate half a level of expenditure.
Zhuge Lan secretly complained — serves you right for being constantly targeted. If your resistance is too high, how can I farm emotions without messing with you?
Fortunately—
He also took the chance to push Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun to their bottlenecks.
When they go to the "Dugu Family Herb Garden," it will depend on their performance.
If the emotion points they provide are not equal to the value of immortal herbs, they can only drool.
If enough…
Give them a little first, let them taste sweetness.
Then keep dangling it!
When they're squeezed dry, then give more.
Jie jie jie jie jie—
Zhuge Lan was thinking of new tricks to farm emotion points.
"Creak—"
The villa door opened, and a dark figure leapt toward Zhuge Lan.
Duang~
That familiar sensation.
It was Zhu Zhuqing, holding the ball and charging into him, hugging him hard from behind.
"This soul bone is too strong!" Zhu Zhuqing rarely showed excitement. "My Wuhun also strengthened partially! Overall increase over 10%!"
Zhuge Lan raised a brow.
No wonder Zhu Zhuqing had been continuously providing emotion points these days.
So she had this gain.
But it wasn't surprising.
Wuhun fusion skills represented "mutual compensation of flaws," meaning a single Wuhun had shortcomings.
Integrating a similar 100,000-year soul bone, improving quality was normal.
Just as he was about to say something—
Another Zhu Zhuqing walked out from inside the villa.
Expression keeping her usual cold calm, she quietly looked at Zhuge Lan.
As if saying — you actually couldn't even recognize my real body?
"Huh?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously, "Why are there two Zhuqing-jie?"
"A clone-type soul bone skill, I guess?" Lu Qibin speculated. "Looks like it's a physical entity and can fight. Not bad."
Then—
The cold Zhu Zhuqing at the door was pushed aside, followed by an icy Zhu Zhuqing, then a smiling Zhu Zhuqing, then a charming Zhu Zhuqing.
Plus the first one hugging Zhuge Lan — five Zhu Zhuqings in total!
Everyone looked back and forth and saw no flaw.
Lu Qibin, who had barely believed earlier, touched his chin in shock.
Clone soul bone skills weren't rare.
But these five Zhu Zhuqings clearly had different emotions.
Not something that could be controlled by multitasking — at least not at Zhu Zhuqing's level.
Clones with independent thoughts — that was precious!
If they could also use Wuhun and soul skills—
Zhuge Lan felt his scalp numb as the five Zhu Zhuqings stared at him.
—They were waiting for him to identify the real body.
If he found her, that's tacit understanding.
If not…
Tsk!
Seems Zhu Zhuqing was really in a good mood — she even knew to play this routine.
Spiritual detection swept through.
Meridians, yin-yang power, even the mole under the left chest.
All exactly the same.
When in doubt — system…
Wait!
Zhuge Lan suddenly discovered—
The Taiji Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation mental connection existed with all five Zhu Zhuqings, but the one hugging him was especially close!
That was the result of deep interaction again and again, forged in passionate heat.
Pa—
He slapped the shapely butt of the person in his arms, admonishing—
"When this shadow clone releases, it can share memories and comprehension with you."
"Some dangerous probing can be done by them."
"In daily training it's useful — let them practice techniques and mastery."
"That way your real body can focus on cultivation level or physique training."
[Emotion Points +99999]
Zhu Zhuqing released him, eyes sparkling at Zhuge Lan.
As expected!
Her man could easily recognize her.
Also—
This soul bone must have been hand-picked by her man!
Otherwise how could it match her so perfectly?
Overwhelmed with joy—
Zhu Zhuqing pulled Zhuge Lan's hand and walked into the villa.
"Then instruct me how to arrange cultivation specifically."
Nobody suspected anything.
In cultivation enthusiasm, Zhu Zhuqing was definitely first here.
But—
The door closed.
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly pressed Zhuge Lan against the door and kissed him fiercely!
Her hands moved skillfully — guiding, removing clothes, pulling close.
Zhuge Lan was overwhelmed!
But—
The real surprise came after!
Zhu Zhuqing learned and applied instantly.
She summoned three shadow clones, and together with her real body, surrounded him from all sides—
And intensely "trained" with him, pushing his limits in… very enthusiastic dual-cultivation practice, far beyond ordinary training sessions.
Zhuge Lan felt like he was ascending to heaven!
'So this is the cultivation guidance?'
'Hiss—'
'Bliss!'
Soto City was in the central-west of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Heaven Dou City was in the central-east.
The Shrek group, after half a month of high-intensity marching, crossed a large portion of the Heaven Dou Empire.
They were finally about to reach Heaven Dou City.
But—
Flender hesitated.
He looked at Zhuge Lan and asked for his opinion: "Should we go to the Sunset Forest first?"
Meng Yiran's third soul ring had been delayed nearly three months.
Zhuge Lan, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun also needed to hunt soul rings.
Hence the question.
But—
Zhuge Lan blinked.
You're the dean, and you're asking me?
Flender returned a speechless look.
Think about what you've been doing this time?
If he didn't ask your opinion, and you weren't satisfied, you'd dig a pit for him!
Scary, scary.
"If you ask me, then we're not in a rush." Zhuge Lan calmly said. "Everyone has been tired this half-month. Rest the body and relax the mind in the city — good for later hunting."
Hearing this—
Ma Hongjun and the others all exhaled in relief.
Finally they could—
But Zhuge Lan suddenly turned his tone!
"But Meng Yiran's third soul ring has been delayed long enough."
"How about we go to the Sunset Forest first?"
"In life, why sleep long while alive — once dead, you'll rest forever."
"What does everyone think?"
Everyone: "…"
↓
(￣∠￣)￣)￣)
Even Meng Yiran felt absurd — and even wanted to throw blame!
If you want to play with people, don't use her as excuse!
Originally Flender suggested the Sunset Forest, and they didn't object.
Zhuge Lan's one sentence made them hope…
And then he shattered it instantly.
Truly infuriating enough to grind teeth!
But no one dared speak.
Their time with him proved — Zhuge Lan loves to punish whoever sticks their head out.
Stay cowardly.
"In that case." Chao Tianxiang spoke, "This area I know better. I will lead the team."
Her words were to Flender, but her gaze was toward Zhuge Lan.
—Who the real king was, was obvious.
Flender didn't even notice.
He habitually looked at Zhuge Lan first.
Seeing no objection—
He nodded: "Then we trouble you."
Thus—
The Shrek team, at Heaven Dou City's gate, turned east toward the Sunset Forest.
Completely unaware—
Ning Fengzhi, with Chen Xin and Gu Rong, was grandly waiting at the city gate to welcome them.
Also unaware—
This trip to the Sunset Forest would trigger—
A city-destroying catastrophe!!!
