After the combined treatment of Jiang Zhu, Ye Qiu, and Ye Lingling,
Zhu Zhuqing and the other girls quickly recovered.
They were only slightly listless, but would be fine after some rest.
Ye Qiu pulled Zhu Zhuqing, who had snuggled close, into his arms and headed towards the dining area.
Zhu Zhuqing looked pale, clearly not in the mood to go out and play.
...
Xiao Lan, whose body had been reassembled,
was dominating the large table prepared by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Jiang Zhu couldn't even carry all the food, and Bai Chenxiang had to help her keep up with her eating speed.
Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan were playing drinking games.
Ye Lingling sat quietly beside them, refilling their empty cups.
Liu Erlong and Zhu Zhuqing were whispering something to each other beside Ye Qiu.
Ning Rongrong sat between Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo,
responding to their inquiries.
Ning Fengzhi sat on the toilet with a wry smile, unable to even speak to his precious daughter.
"Princess Rongrong, are you really alright?"
Bone Douluo added food to Ning Rongrong's plate, asking with concern.
"Grandpa Bone, Rongrong is really alright. I just need to go back and get some sleep."
Ning Rongrong's face was still a little pale. She gently shook her head, a sweet smile appearing on her face.
It was truly thanks to the head soul bone Ye Qiu had given her.
It had prevented her from suffering much backlash.
It had also allowed her to build a mental network, further improving their tacit understanding and unifying their thoughts.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to use the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique in just a few days.
"It's good that you're alright. Princess Rongrong can stay at home this afternoon, right?"
Sword Douluo was equally concerned for her.
Ning Rongrong blinked her blue eyes and glanced at Ye Qiu.
Since she wouldn't receive any favors anyway,
she nodded gently.
"Okay, then Rongrong will stay at home tonight."
"Alright! Tonight, Grandpa Bone will take you for a ride in Heaven Dou City."
Bone Douluo was overjoyed and immediately offered his signature move.
"I think you should skip it. If you get winded too much, will you still have those tufts of hair on your head?"
Sword Douluo waved his hand, very considerate of Bone Douluo, and smiled at Ning Rongrong, saying,
"Little Princess Rongrong, why don't you come for a ride with me? Standing on a sword... how cool is that?"
"Cool my foot! It's nowhere near as imposing as standing on a bone dragon."
Bone Douluo glared and argued with Sword Douluo.
"Besides, my hair isn't that fragile. But you... standing on a sword every day, be careful it doesn't fall off one day."
"Pfft haha~"
Seeing the argument that hadn't happened in a long time, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but laugh.
As usual.
A sly glint flashed in her blue eyes, yet it also revealed a touch of warmth.
Clap clap!
She clapped her little hands, attracting the attention of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
With a charming smile, she said,
"How about this? The two grandfathers have a fight, and whoever wins, Rongrong will go for a drive with them."
Hearing Ning Rongrong's words,
*smack!
* Bone Douluo instinctively slammed his hand on the table to shout "Good!"
But he quickly regained his composure,
his body stiffening.
"Haha!"
Sword Douluo, on the other hand, burst into laughter.
"It seems Rongrong wants to go for a drive with Grandpa Sword more."
With his current level ninety-seven cultivation, even though Bone Douluo excelled in defense and possessed unpredictable attacks, at
level ninety-five, he could only parry at most.
And that was without going all out.

"Sword Man! Don't be so smug. For Princess Rongrong's sake, I'm going to risk this old bone today!"
Bone Douluo was furious at Sword Douluo's arrogant behavior.
"Old bone, I think it's better not to."
Sword Douluo waved his hand and teased,
"If I hurt you and it doesn't make Rongrong feel sorry for you, you'll be depressed to death."
"Sword Man...you!"
Bone Douluo was furious.
Ning Rongrong burst into laughter and glared at Sword Douluo.
"Haha...Grandpa Sword, how could Rongrong not feel sorry for Grandpa Bone if he's injured!"
"Hmph! Sword Man, did you hear that?"
Bone Douluo breathed a sigh of relief, straightening his back a bit.
"Come on, let's go have a match now. I haven't tested your strength since you broke through!"
"Hmph! Fine, let's go. I'm not afraid of you."
Sword Douluo snorted coldly, since he had nowhere to test his strength anyway.
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone."
Ning Fengzhi glared at Ning Rongrong and quickly tried to pull the two old rascals away.
"Grandpa Bone, don't worry, Rongrong has a gift for you!"
Ning Rongrong giggled, tugging at Bone Douluo's sleeve, her small hand revealing a brocade box lying in her hand.
"A gift?!"
Not only Bone Douluo, but Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi also craned their necks,
curiously looking at the box radiating soul power.
"Yes, it's a gift that Ye Qiu and Rongrong are giving to Grandpa Bone."
Ning Rongrong smiled, talking mysteriously.
"It might even help Grandpa Bone advance another level, just like Grandpa Sword."
"What?!"
Bone Douluo's eyes widened.
"Rongrong, is there a soul bone inside?"
Ning Fengzhi immediately guessed what was inside.
After all, Sword Douluo's breakthrough
was largely thanks to the Clear Sky Sect's inherited soul bone that Ye Qiu had cut down from Tang Hao.
"Daddy's so smart, there really is a soul bone inside."
Ning Rongrong nodded slightly, her small hand opening the brocade box to reveal a vibrant color inside.
"This is a soul bone that Rongrong obtained when she hunted her fourth soul ring. It's a torso bone dropped by a 30,000-year-old pangolin, and it's a defensive type. It'll be a good match for Grandpa Bone."
"How about it? Grandpa Bone likes it, right?"
Ning Rongrong held the box in her hands and handed it to Bone Douluo.
Looking at the torso bone,
it would be a lie for Bone Douluo to say he didn't like it.
But he felt that Ning Rongrong was more suitable to absorb this soul bone than he was:
"I like it, but it's best to absorb soul bones and soul rings dropped by the same soul beast together. Rongrong, you yourself..."
"Oh dear~ Grandpa Bone, if Rongrong wanted to absorb it, she would have already done so."
Ning Rongrong stuffed the box into Bone Douluo's arms.
Feigning anger, she said:
"Besides, Rongrong promised to give you a soul bone as a tribute, so Grandpa Bone can't refuse."
"Alright, old bone, since Rongrong is giving it to you, just keep it. With that kid Ye Qiu around, are you worried that Rongrong won't have any soul bones to use?"
Sword Douluo raised an eyebrow at Ye Qiu, indicating that the soul bone wholesalers were all at his house.
"Yes, Uncle Bone, the situation on the mainland could change at any moment. Only by becoming stronger can you better protect Rongrong and the others,"
Ning Fengzhi advised.
Bone Douluo paused, glancing at Ye Qiu, who was clinging to Zhu Zhuqing.
He shook his head with a wry smile.
It seemed that having grown accustomed to poverty, suddenly becoming rich was a bit of a shock.
"In that case, Grandpa Bone will accept it."
