When Ye Qiu returned to Lan Ba Academy with Xiao Lan, it was just in time for the girls to begin their cultivation.
*Click!*
Ning Rongrong's window opened, and she smiled, teasingly saying,
"Oh dear, Xiao Lan, why weren't you late? Otherwise, I could have given you a good laugh." "
Hmph!"
Xiao Lan, perched on Ye Qiu's back, pouted, snorted, and playfully jumped to the ground, stretching her delicate body, her noticeably taller breasts trembling slightly.
She giggled,
"Laugh, laugh, Rongrong-jie can laugh as much as she wants. Xiao Lan's bunny has grown even bigger! I wonder how long it will take for Rongrong-jie to be as difficult for brother to handle as Xiao Lan."
"Uh..."
Ye Qiu's eyelids twitched, and he tapped Xiao Lan's head in annoyance. He had already tried his best to massage Ning Rongrong, and the results were still quite respectable.
"Xiao Lan, you...you ingrate!"
Ning Rongrong's face flushed red, speechless at Xiao Lan's retort. The worst part was that she vaguely heard mocking laughter coming from other rooms, so she could only angrily snap.
Xiao Lan gently rubbed her delicate body under the windowsill. She knew she had already improved a lot, she was doing just right.
"Xiao Lan isn't an ingrate! I've already gone home to see Sister Lan Ying and the others!"
Xiao Lan pouted. She was just telling the truth, since Sister Rongrong had to laugh at her first.
"Rongrong, let it go. Xiao Lan is still young."
Ye Qiu smiled helplessly. Although Xiao Lan looked thirteen or fourteen, she had only been a human for less than five years, and her mind wasn't very mature.
"Xiao Lan isn't young anymore!"
Xiao Lan puffed out her cheeks, straightened her body, and patted her soft skin.
"..."
Ye Qiu sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"Hmph!"
Ning Rongrong snorted coldly, knowing she was somewhat in the wrong, and didn't argue further.
She shouldn't have expected to control Xiao Lan in the first place;
Xiao Lan simply liked to eat—such a simple hobby, and she was too easily seduced. Since that was the case, she should refrain from saying such inexplicable things as 'ungrateful wretch.' As Ye Qiu's sister, and even her future sister, it was only right that she treat Xiao Lan well.
Hearing the laughter that hadn't subsided next door,
Ning Rongrong scolded in embarrassment and annoyance, "Xiao Wu! Stop laughing!" *
Click!*
Xiao Wu pushed open the window next door, her pretty face flushed red, pouting, her red lips pursed, and she argued,
"Rongrong, I...I wasn't laughing."
"Nonsense! You were clearly the one laughing the loudest; now you can't hold it in anymore!"
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth angrily, her blue eyes wide.
"Pfft!"
Xiao Wu covered her mouth, feeling a little uncomfortable, and retorted, bending over,
"It wasn't me laughing the loudest! Yan Yan next door laughed even louder than me!"
"Pfft, hahaha!"
Just as Xiao Wu finished speaking, Dugu Yan pushed open the window, letting out a soft, charming laugh.
Seeing Ning Rongrong's murderous glare, Dugu Yan's green eyes flickered. Seeing Ye Qiu, who was dealing with Xiao Lan's dribbling and bumping into people, she immediately had an idea.
Wiping away her tears, she explained, "Miss Rongrong, don't misunderstand. I was just happy for my husband's breakthrough in cultivation, I didn't mean to make fun of you, hahaha."

As she spoke, Dugu Yan couldn't help but laugh again at Ning Rongrong.
"My husband broke through again so quickly?"
Liu Erlong's gentle voice rang in Ning Rongrong's ears.
Clang, clang.
The sound of windows opening continued.
Bai Chenxiang, Jiangzhu, and the other women poked their heads out of the windows, looking at Ye Qiu with curiosity.
Their pretty faces undoubtedly carried a hint of a smile.
Even Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing were no exception.
Clearly, they had been amused by Xiao Lan's earlier exchange with Ning Rongrong.
Ye Qiu, holding the limp body in his arms, pulled Xiao Lan's restless hand away, awkwardly looking at the women, and said with a dry laugh,
"This trip to the Blue Silver Forest unexpectedly brought me some insights. Not only did my cultivation break through to level 48, but my spiritual power also improved significantly. Yan Yan, when you break through to Soul King, I can give you a Soul Ring that's over 40,000 years old. Your improvement will definitely be huge then." "
That's wonderful! The quality of a Soul Bone that's over 40,000 years old will be much higher, right?"
Dugu Yan's eyes shone with excitement, her snake-like vertical pupils flickering.
"Husband, don't worry, I'll definitely break through to level 50 before the finals!"
A Soul Ring that's over 40,000 years old.
That's almost 30,000 years, exceeding the Soul King's 12,000-year limit! It's more than double the Soul Emperor's 20,000-year limit! Only Soul Saint level experts can absorb that!
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were equally fervent.
She's already level 48, not far from level 49. With a little effort, she might even break through to level 50 before the finals and add another black spirit ring! With just over
two months left, plus competition and travel, breaking through to level 49 and then level 50 is undoubtedly a tight schedule. But where there's a will, there's a way, and she has no shortage of hard work!
Bai Chenxiang and the other girls are equally excited.
They won't be using spirit rings anytime soon, but that doesn't stop them from looking forward to it. Even though they know that the later they break through, the more Ye Qiu will grow, and the higher the age of their spirit rings will be, no one wants to slack off. They all want to obtain such powerful spirit rings and spirit bones as soon as possible.
Only Xiao Wu is somewhat disheartened, her head bowed.
With so many sisters over 40,000 years, many spirit beasts must have perished.
But she's helpless; she alone can't change anything.
Should Xiao Qiu and the others stop hunting spirits?
How will Xiao Qiu and her sisters protect themselves and face the challenges and dangers that may arise in the future?
Moreover, she herself...
after reaching level 70, she too would need to wield her blade against soul beasts, absorbing their soul rings. It seemed that transformed soul beasts had already become adversaries of other soul beasts the moment they took form.
Ye Qiu watched the women laughing and joking, and smiled knowingly in return. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Xiao Wu, head bowed in sorrow, and paused, momentarily stunned.
He knew what Xiao Wu was thinking.
He had discussed this issue with her before, promising that the soul beasts sacrificed for him and them would one day regain their vitality.
If he had the ability, he would also help the soul beasts continue their lineage
—but ultimately, it was just talk.
Everything depended on Xiao Wu's own perspective; otherwise, she would only suffer.
Under Ye Qiu's gaze, Xiao Wu suddenly raised her head and smiled brightly at him.
She trusted her Xiao Qiu; he wouldn't deceive her.
She was already deeply moved and content that Ye Qiu cared for her so much.
