Da Ming looked at Ye Qiu strangely.
It had some understanding of human soul ring configurations.
From what it had seen, everyone's third ring was purple.
Except for that woman in purple robes!
Thinking of this, Da Ming's eyes widened in surprise and doubt, and it couldn't help but ask,
"Ye Qiu, Sister Rongrong is a Soul Master, shouldn't she have a thousand-year soul ring? Fifteen thousand years is impossible, right?!" (The previous chapter was wrong, it should be fifteen thousand, corrected!)
"Normally, it's impossible, but my martial soul is special; it can help others obtain slightly higher soul rings. Look!"
Since it needed to hunt souls, this couldn't be hidden, so Ye Qiu didn't bother to conceal anything.
His eyes flashed with blood-red light, and three dark purple soul rings rose from beneath his feet.
"Hiss~! How is this possible!?"
Da Ming gasped, staring blankly at Ye Qiu.
This was the second time it had seen such an outrageous soul ring configuration.
No! It should be said that Ye Qiu's soul ring configuration was far inferior to that mysterious woman's!
"Haha, Daming, how about it? Xiaoqiu is amazing, isn't she! Zhuqing's second spirit ring is also purple!"
Xiaowu boasted, hugging her lover, even happier than Daming herself.
Since it wasn't the first time he'd seen this, Daming quickly calmed down.
"Indeed amazing!"
Daming nodded sincerely, a hint of worry flashing in his admiring eyes.
Such a powerful human, if he grew up, what kind of impact would he have on the spirit beast race?
But in an instant, he remembered
Ye Qiu's concern about Daming's dinner, and immediately put away his worries.
Besides, the fate of the spirit beast race wasn't something a small Azure Bull Python like himself could control.
He had neither the right nor the ability!
While dealing with Xiaowu's rambling, Ye Qiu didn't notice the fleeting wariness in Daming's eyes.
Seeing that Daming had no desire to say more,
he stopped talking, hugging the sullen Xiaowu, and focusing on Ning Rongrong.
At this moment, the golden light around her had gradually subsided.
His right hand, shaped like an orchid, held aloft the seven-colored, shimmering glazed pagoda.
His cultivation had reached level thirty, but without any additional soul rings, it appeared to have stopped increasing.
Time passed.
The sun completely sank in the west, its faint afterglow painting a magnificent golden horizon.
The temperature at the Lake of Life also dropped slightly.
Zhu Zhuqing turned to look at Ye Qiu.
Seeing Xiao Wu in his arms, a blush crept across her face.
She whispered
, "Ye Qiu~ I... I'm a little cold."
As she spoke, she gently walked to Ye Qiu's side and nestled into his embrace.
Her cherry-red face pressed against Ye Qiu's shoulder,
meeting his gaze.
Under Xiao Wu's teasing gaze, she suppressed her shyness, grabbed Ye Qiu's hand, and wrapped it around her waist.
Feeling a little embarrassed by Xiao Wu's gaze, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze shifted to Ning Rongrong.
"Ye Qiu, is Rongrong almost finished absorbing?"
"Yes, it should be soon!"
Ye Qiu smiled.
He tightened his embrace slightly, closing the distance between them.
Feeling her softness, he gently kissed Zhu Zhuqing's forehead, responding softly.
"..."
Da Ming and Er Ming froze, turning to look at each other, motionless, waiting silently.
Just as Ye Qiu finished speaking,
the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in front of Ning Rongrong suddenly burst forth with nine-colored light!
Zhu Zhuqing, who dared not face Xiao Wu's teasing, was startled to see the glazed pagoda had grown taller.
She quickly pointed to her discovery.
"Ye Qiu! What's going on with Rongrong!?"
Zhu Zhuqing slightly pushed Ye Qiu away, looking at him strangely.
"Shh~!"
Ye Qiu, as if he had expected it, revealed a satisfied smile.
He breathed a hot breath into her delicate ear.
Her pupils trembled slightly, her fair ears turning rosy.
Her body went limp, suppressing her doubts.
"Xiao Qiu~ What's wrong with Rongrong?" When Xiao Wu looked again, Ning Rongrong had already put away her martial spirit.
Ye Qiu gently released them, his face full of joy.
"You'll see soon enough, Rongrong has finished absorbing it!"
Ning Rongrong, who had already put away her martial spirit, had completely withdrawn the golden light from her body.
Before Ning Rongrong even opened her eyes, she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
Looking at her hands, she seemed somewhat incredulous.
She quickly raised her head, and Ye Qiu was also smiling at her.
"Ye Qiu! I'm already level 30! No, I can feel that I'm not only at level 30!" Ning Rongrong quickly got up and pounced on Ye Qiu.
Her legs left the ground, she wrapped her arms around his neck and locked his throat.
Her blue eyes, filled with sweet affection, narrowed into crescent moons.
Her red lips parted, lightly skimming Ye Qiu's face, lips, and brow.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance.
They finally understood why Ye Qiu had let go of the rabbit and cat he had caught.
It turned out that it was to clear the way for Ning Rongrong.
"I'm glad you're satisfied!" Ye Qiu cupped her shapely buttocks with both hands and returned a light kiss.
"Satisfied, I'm very satisfied with the gift you prepared!" Ning Rongrong's face flushed, and she twisted her body, locking herself tightly around Ye Qiu.
"Uh..."
Feeling a little suffocated, Ye Qiu had no choice but to use the massage technique she had taught him to loosen his grip.
"Mmm... Ye Qiu~"
Feeling the familiar, just-right strength acting on an unfamiliar spot.
A surge of heat shot from her tailbone straight to her brain.
Ning Rongrong let out a muffled groan, softly calling out her lover's name.
Her eyes sparkled with desire, and her body felt weak.
Only with Ye Qiu's help did she manage to stay upright.
"Hoo~" Ye Qiu exhaled, dodging Ning Rongrong, who was already slightly tipsy, as she lunged at him.
He gently released her restraints, allowing her to stand back on the ground.
"Ye Qiu~" Ning Rongrong gently tugged at Ye Qiu's hand, her voice sweet and slightly disgruntled.
"Rongrong, you're so mushy!" Xiao Wu crossed her arms, rubbing them against her.
"Ah, Xiao Wu! I... I didn't!"
Ning Rongrong was startled, her face flushing with shyness as she weakly retorted.
"You did! You didn't even glance at me or Zhu Qing, and you wanted to...do that as soon as you got up!" Xiao Wu glared at her angrily.
"Hmm!" Zhu Zhu Qing nodded in agreement.
Even Da Ming and Er Ming's heads bobbed gently.
Seeing everyone nod in unison, Ning Rongrong was filled with embarrassment and anger.
"Ah! Ye Qiu, you actually dared to nod too! I, I didn't! When you and Xiao Wu were being intimate, you were even more... Ugh!"
"Ahem!" Ye Qiu coughed twice, quickly covering Ning Rongrong's unbridled mouth.
"Alright, Rongrong!"
To prevent her from continuing to talk nonsense, Ye Qiu said mysteriously, "Rongrong, the improvement in cultivation isn't the only surprise!" "
?"
Ning Rongrong, who was about to bite him, looked at Ye Qiu strangely, removed his hand, and was somewhat puzzled.
"Not the only surprise?"
"That's right! Look at your martial soul." Ye Qiu smiled and held her right hand in his, raising it horizontally.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up, as if she understood what had happened to Ning Rongrong.
Envy and joy appeared in her eyes.
Ning Rongrong blushed and obediently summoned her martial soul.
In the palm of her right hand, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared, and below it, a faint circle of golden light like tulip petals was set off.
Xiao Wu curiously leaned closer. "It doesn't seem to have changed much?"
Ning Rongrong frowned, sensing something was amiss.
"Something's wrong!" The usually calm and collected Zhu Zhuqing suddenly exclaimed.
"Rongrong, quickly count how many layers your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has!?"
Ning Rongrong froze, her heart pounding. Staring at her martial soul, she stretched out her small hand, pointing.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!? Eight! Nine! How could it... become nine layers?"
A huge surprise crashed down on her.
Ning Rongrong felt her head spinning. Her voice trembled slightly
at the end. The seven
-layered, seven-colored Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had become a nine-layered, nine-colored one!
What did this mean?
It meant she wouldn't be limited by her family's inheritance anymore. She
wouldn't be like her father and her ancestors, stuck at level seventy-nine for life, unable to break through!
Ning Rongrong's gaze couldn't help but fall on Ye Qiu before her, filled with tender affection.
"Rongrong, how is it? Surprised?!"
Ye Qiu pinched her pretty cheek, leaving a few marks.
Suddenly bumped into her, she groaned, "Ugh... cough cough!"
Ning Rongrong could no longer contain her excitement and joy, and quickly tackled Ye Qiu to the ground.
She hugged him tightly, more tightly than ever before.
She finally understood what Ye Qiu had said before: if she received his gift, she might happily give herself to him!
It wasn't a joke!
If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, even if Ye Qiu was considerate of her small frame and thought she couldn't handle it, she would have forced herself on him.
To reward him properly!
Ning Rongrong hugged Ye Qiu, burying her face in his neck, her voice clear and loud, unable to hide her excitement.
"Ye Qiu! I really love you to death!"
"Do you know what this is? This is the legendary Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, the goal my father sought his whole life!"
"This means that my future achievements will definitely surpass my father's! Thank you so much!"
Ning Rongrong said a lot in one breath, her body trembling slightly.
Ye Qiu gently patted her back.
He spoke softly.
"Hmm, I'm glad you like it!"
Ning Rongrong raised her head, looking directly at her lover beneath her, her face flushed.
"I love it! Mr. Ye Qiu~"
Her initial delight suddenly turned into a seductive glint in her eyes.
Her voice was soft and alluring.
"This humble woman has no way to repay you, I can only serve you like a slave from now on, letting you do whatever you please~"
"Uh! Rongrong... something doesn't quite feel right!"
Before he could finish, Ning Rongrong had already spoken first.
Zhu Zhuqing stared blankly, unable to look away, but glancing around every now and then, as if keeping watch for Ye Qiu.
"Er Ming, what are you doing?! Don't look!" Xiao Wu
pouted, a little unhappy.
Suddenly noticing Er Ming, who was curiously about slowly lowering its head to take a closer look
, she immediately pointed at it and shouted.
Er Ming immediately stood still, staring straight ahead, its eyes fixed.
"Da Ming?" Xiao Wu glanced at Da Ming.
It wisely kept an eye on its troublesome younger brother.
Time slowly passed.
Xiao Wu's pout grew higher and higher.
Ning Rongrong, who had been biting and tearing at him, suddenly fell silent.
Zhu Zhuqing could clearly see that the back of her neck was bright red, and her ears were bloodshot, with no trace of white.
Ye Qiu was also somewhat exasperated and released his embrace.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance and together helped Ning Rongrong, who was like a rag doll, to her feet.
Looking at Ye Qiu's condition, Ye Qiu's face also flushed.
After lying there calming down for a while, Ye Qiu also got up again, and somewhat embarrassed by the two women's gaze, he straightened his clothes.
"Is Rongrong alright?"
"I'm fine," Ning Rongrong struggled to break free from Xiao Wu and the other woman who were supporting her.
After the brief passion, she had recovered.
She reached out and summoned her martial soul again, seemingly with some difficulty, indicating that she hadn't fully recovered yet.
"Ye Qiu, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is far too important for the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! Let's go home!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes were filled with tenderness, pride, and joy.
What a load of rubbish hidden weapon. Ye Qiu's kindness alone was enough to make her father happily entrust her to him.
"Go home?" Ye Qiu shook his head and chuckled, gently pinching her nose.
"Don't worry, I'll take you back tomorrow. Now, let's go hunt for your third spirit ring!"
"Mmm." Ning Rongrong nodded excitedly.
She had almost forgotten that her third spirit ring was still empty!
When she got back, she would show off her cultivation and hidden weapons.
Then, she would release her martial soul, which would definitely surprise Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, and her father!
Xiao Wu looked distressed: "Ah? Xiao Qiu, if you and Rongrong go home, what will Zhu Qing and I do?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Qiu, also somewhat reluctant.
"Don't worry, it won't be long!" Ye Qiu gently pulled the two girls into his arms.
He also knew that Zhu Zhuqing couldn't leave Shrek Academy for the time being.
"That's good!" Xiao Wu's smile returned.
Zhu Zhuqing hugged Ye Qiu tightly, the pressure between them immense.
"Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, wait here for a while! I'm taking Rongrong to hunt souls!"
"Okay!"
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhu Qing nodded simultaneously, reluctantly letting go of Ye Qiu.
"Rongrong, let's go!"
"Ah! Ye Qiu!"
Ye Qiu's feet blurred, and amidst Ning Rongrong's exclamation, he quickly scooped her up in his arms.
With a perfect princess carry, he held her, bouncing her around until she landed on Er Ming's shoulder.
"Er Ming, thank you for your trouble!" Ye Qiu patted its big neck.
"Roar~!" Er Ming roared, bidding farewell to Xiao Wu and Da Ming.
Then it ran out.
"Zhu Qing, Xiao Wu, wait for me to come back!" Ye Qiu waved to the two girls.
Then he looked at Ning Rongrong, who was trembling in his arms.
"Rongrong, why are you closing your eyes?"
"I... I'm a little scared." Ning Rongrong buried her head in Ye Qiu's arms, feeling the strong tremors, and was unsteady on her feet.
"Don't worry, I'm holding you!"
"..."
Watching Erming slowly walk away, Xiaowu suddenly felt a little bored.
"Zhuqing, do you want me to show you around?"
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and sat down cross-legged.
"Xiaowu, you go by yourself, I want to cultivate for a while!"
"Ah? Why is that? You're engrossed in cultivation again as soon as Ye Qiu isn't here!"
Xiaowu complained listlessly.
Zhu Zhuqing ignored her, slowly closed her eyes, and began to cultivate.
She was different from Xiaowu and Rongrong.
Behind Xiaowu were two 100,000-year-old soul beasts comparable to Title Douluos.
Ning Rongrong has the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which boasts two Douluo-level experts, and her martial soul has now evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
However, she was born into the Star Luo Zhu Family.
Her family's help to her is very limited; she can only rely on herself.
She doesn't want to be surpassed; she also wants to possess the power to help Ye Qiu!
...
Ye Qiu and Ning Rongrong have already been brought to the mixed zone by Er Ming.
Ning Rongrong is gradually adapting...
"Ah! Ye Qiu, so exciting!"
Standing on the shoulder of the Titan Giant Ape, with Ye Qiu holding her waist, Ning Rongrong let out a joyful shout.
With her arms outstretched, watching the trees rush past, enjoying the oncoming wind, and feeling the warmth of Ye Qiu's embrace behind her,
she was extremely excited. She even mustered her courage and began to instruct Er Ming.
"Er Ming, run faster! Oh ho~! Awoo~"
"Roar!" Er Ming roared, a golden light shining from his body, with faint patterns spreading outwards.
His speed increased dramatically, filling Ning Rongrong's mouth with wind.
"Haha, you'd better be quiet!" Ye Qiu nuzzled her soft face.
Soon, Er Ming found a soul beast that met Ye Qiu's requirements and suited his taste:
an Agate Shell Turtle!
A small, freshwater herbivorous soul beast with little offensive power, but its meat was delicious.
Its shell was covered with beautiful, magnificent agate-like crystals.
Soul power constantly flowed within them.
When in danger, these crystals would shatter, providing them with a large amount of soul power, allowing them to escape on their short legs.
A ten-thousand-year-old Agate Shell Turtle had a body radius of one meter.
Er Ming quickly arrived at a huge pool of water, several hundred meters in diameter.
Without Ye Qiu needing to say anything, a ball of golden light suddenly condensed on Er Ming's fist, which he then forcefully slammed into the water.
Boom!
The golden fist wind splashed into the water, creating huge waves and continuous explosions.
Many soul beasts in the water were blasted out,
tumbling through the air.
A 100,000-year-old Titan Ape dealing with a 15,000-year-old Karami was a piece of cake.
Erming reacted swiftly, bending his knees and leaping up to grab the three-meter-diameter agate tortoise.
Then he slammed it into the ground.
Boom!
Dust billowed, and the ground cracked inch by inch.
"Erming, thank you so much! Please protect me!"
Seeing the agate tortoise barely breathing, Ye Qiu's lips twitched, and he quickly thanked him.
He then jumped down, carrying the still somewhat frightened Ning Rongrong.
Erming scratched his head, rubbing his stomach, and sat down as well.
"Rongrong, are you alright? Get ready to absorb your spirit ring!"
"Yes, I'm fine!"
Ning Rongrong's face was a little pale, still shaken by Erming's fighting style.
"Okay! Then sit cross-legged and summon your martial spirit!" Ye Qiu pushed Ning Rongrong to the agate tortoise and gently pressed her down.
He also sat down cross-legged and placed his hands behind Ning Rongrong's back.
