Chapter 195: Little Rabbit Reunites with Her Mother
A sleepless night passed, and the next morning, Dugu Yan slapped Ning Bei awake from his deep sleep.
"Stinky guy, get up quickly, I'm going to absorb my seventh soul ring."
"Alright, alright, I'm getting up!"
Ning Bei helplessly glanced at the excited woman. It seemed that when it came to her seventh soul ring, she wasn't as calm as she appeared.
After having breakfast, Ning Bei led the woman to the Ice God Temple.
Dugu Yan, who was visiting for the first time, curiously looked around. The entire area was filled with structures made of ice.
"Abey, where is this place?"
"The Ice God Temple. It's a reward obtained after completing the God's Trial. It's also a kind of life-saving ability."
Dugu Yan nodded in understanding, then took out the God-given soul ring Ning Bei had given her.
"Should I start now?"
"Take those pills, then start."
Dugu Yan quickly took out the protective pulse pill and the soul nurturing pill, swallowed them, and then sat cross-legged on the ground, releasing her martial soul.
A dragon's roar rang out, and a green poisonous dragon appeared behind her.
Six soul rings appeared: two yellow, two purple, and two black.
Ning Bei clicked his tongue. How come both of his women had such a poor soul ring configuration? It almost made him feel like he was mistreating them.
But, this wasn't his fault. Dugu Yan's previous soul rings had been arranged by Dugu Bo, and he hadn't worried too much about it. The difference wasn't significant, and the seventh soul ring was now taken care of with the God-given soul ring.
"I'm starting now, Abey!"
With these words, Dugu Yan crushed the light orb in her hand, and a light yellow soul ring appeared in the spot of her seventh soul ring.
Ning Bei wasn't worried about Dugu Yan not being able to bear the pressure of a 100,000-year soul ring. After all, she had consumed two immortal herbs. He relaxed and sat beside her, waiting for her to absorb the soul ring.
As time passed, a painful expression slowly appeared on Dugu Yan's beautiful face.
Five hours later, a touch of blood red appeared on the pitch-black soul ring.
Ning Bei still didn't show any concern. After all, he had life-saving pills, and if needed, he could just give her one.
Dugu Yan didn't disappoint him. Despite her pained expression and her veins bulging, she gritted her teeth and endured.
It wasn't until the soul ring had completely turned blood red and no more black could be seen that she slowly opened her eyes and exhaled deeply.
Then, the woman jumped up, excited, and threw herself into Ning Bei's arms, kissing his handsome face nonstop.
"Mua, mua, Abey, I also have a 100,000-year soul ring now."
Ning Bei caught her and smiled without saying anything. He knew that although she didn't speak of it, she must have been envious seeing the other girls absorb their 10,000-year soul rings.
There were also several times when she had complained to him about how she wished she had been less conservative when absorbing her own soul rings.
"Congratulations to my Yan'er. When Dugu Grandpa arrives, you must show off in front of him."
"Go to hell, is that how you speak to your juniors?"
Although her words were scolding, there was an undeniable excitement in her eyes.
"Tch, acting all innocent."
He guessed that when she saw Dugu Bo, she would be the first to want to show off.
Not for any other reason, but to prove her own judgment.
"I heard you're a Title Douluo? Can I really pick a man that well?"
Apart from the martial soul, the seventh soul skill, and her martial soul's true body, Dugu Yan also gained a powerful control soul skill. After activating her Phosphorus Poison Dragon true body, the power of all her soul skills would be doubled, greatly enhancing her combat strength.
The Soul Master competition would no longer be a challenge for her.
Back at the hotel, Ning Rongrong and the others dragged him around to tour Soul Land, but this time, he wasn't alone—he was accompanied by the other women.
Ye Yinzhhu and the others were also pulled into the group.
Carefree Ning Rongrong had her left arm linked with Dugu Yan and her right arm with Zhu Zhuqing, happily walking along, completely oblivious to any unusual behavior from her companions.
However, Ning Bei noticed the little rabbit trailing behind the group, looking downcast. He suspected that she must have been thinking about her mother. It was indeed rare!
Quietly moving to the back of the group, he ruffled Xiao Wu's head.
The little rabbit froze for a moment and then looked up at Ning Bei with a smile that was more pitiful than a cry.
Unknowingly, Ning Rongrong and the others had already walked far ahead, and the two of them had strayed from the group.
Seeing the situation, Ning Bei didn't hesitate any longer. He directly took Xiao Wu and flew back to the hotel.
"Ning Bei, I'm fine. I just need some rest. You should go accompany Rongrong and the others!"
Ning Bei didn't try to comfort her. Instead, he pulled the little rabbit into his arms, gently patting her back.
Xiao Wu shivered, and then, as if all her bones had softened, she held Ning Bei tightly and began crying uncontrollably.
"Ning Ning Bei, my mother..."
"It's okay. Didn't I promise you that I would bring your mother back to life?"
"B-but... sniff"
Xiao Wu's thoughts went back to her mother's soul bone, which still hadn't been revived. She cried even harder.
Seeing that the little rabbit was on the verge of crying herself unconscious, Ning Bei hurriedly spoke up.
"I've already retrieved the soul bone. While I can't resurrect your mother immediately, I can let you see her first."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu's ears perked up, and she looked at Ning Bei with a face full of joy.
"Really? Ning Bei, Big Brother?"
In the eager gaze of the little rabbit, Ning Bei nodded in confirmation, patting her head and signaling for her to release him.
The little rabbit blushed, quickly stepping back, fiddling with her skirt, yet her gaze never left Ning Bei.
Ning Bei smiled and took out the soul bone he had obtained yesterday from his soul tool.
As soon as the soul bone appeared, Xiao Wu couldn't take her eyes off it, staring intently at Ning Bei's hand.
"Ning Bei, Big Brother, is this my mother's soul bone? The aura on it is so strong, it really is my mother's!"
Xiao Wu's eyes reddened as she looked at Ning Bei, as if ready to cry the moment he said otherwise.
"Yes, this is your mother's soul bone."
With that, Ning Bei handed the soul bone to Xiao Wu.
The little rabbit trembled as she carefully took the soul bone into her arms, gazing at it for a moment. Then, she gently rubbed her cheek against the soul bone as if she had returned to her mother's embrace.
After a while, Xiao Wu anxiously looked up at Ning Bei.
"Ning Bei, Big Brother, you said I could meet my mother. What do you mean by that?"
Without wasting words, Ning Bei produced a soul nurturing pill from his soul tool and walked over to Xiao Wu. He slowly brought the pill close to the soul bone, activating it with his soul power to slowly melt the pill.
Soon, the entire soul bone was surrounded by the fragrance of the soul nurturing pill.
Xiao Wu's eyes remained glued to the soul bone in her hands, afraid that if she looked away for even a moment, she would miss her chance to reunite with her mother.
After a few dozen minutes, the soul bone in her hands seemed to tremble, and then a pink glow erupted from it. A phantom figure appeared in front of Xiao Wu.
The woman who appeared was breathtakingly beautiful, but her face was filled with confusion.
"Mom!"
Xiao Wu gasped in delight and rushed toward the figure. However, the figure wasn't solid. Xiao Wu passed right through her, giving her a dog-eat-dog look.
"Ouch!"
