Ning Rongrong's pink lips pouted slightly.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Ze couldn't help but curve his lips.
He brushed away the strands of hair falling on her cheek with his fingertips and chuckled softly.
Xiao Ze leaned down, pecked her lips hard, and playfully bit her lower lip.
"Mmm..." Ning Rongrong suddenly woke up, her eyes wide. When she saw it was Xiao Ze, she instantly blushed from her ear tips to her neck.
The next second, she suddenly curved her brows and smiled foolishly, wrapping her arms around his neck and snuggling closer.
"Ambushing me? Take that!"
She tilted her head and kissed him back, artlessly but with fervent directness.
Xiao Ze grunted as she bumped into him, but he took the opportunity to cup the back of her head.
After a long while.
The two slowly separated.
"Done kissing?" Dugu Yan teased.
"When did you guys wake up?" Ning Rongrong's pretty face flushed.
"Just a little while ago. You two got a bit vigorous with your kissing after that," Meng Yiran said with a laugh.
"Oh no! How embarrassing!" Ning Rongrong covered her eyes, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
"Alright, come over and see the Tier 1 spirit tool I made."
Hearing this, the girls immediately got off the sofa and gathered around Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze took out the firefly sword.
"Look, this is a Tier 1 offensive spirit tool, the firefly sword. It's a weapon with extremely fast attack speed..." Xiao Ze briefly explained the general features of the firefly sword to the girls.
"It's a pretty good spirit tool."
"Indeed, it's quite useful. If given to Spirit Masters who haven't obtained their first spirit ring, it would be very effective. They might even be able to kill some Spirit Beasts with decades of cultivation themselves, which would be very beneficial for them."
"Uh... you're thinking too much. Although the materials for the firefly sword aren't very expensive, the labor is. If we can't bring down the labor costs in the future, those Spirit Masters won't be able to afford it," Xiao Ze said.
"The material cost for the firefly sword is only a few gold coins, but with labor, it becomes expensive. I've already asked Old Wang to start researching if we can achieve mass production. If so, we'll be rich in the future," Xiao Ze laughed.
"It's okay if not. We can just use the spirit tools ourselves," Ning Rongrong said, fearing Xiao Ze might be disappointed.
She knew how much Xiao Ze loved spirit tools during this time.
"Mmm."
"Do you want me to perform a sword dance for everyone?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"Rongrong, aren't you a support systemSpirit Master? You can do that too?" Dugu Yan asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, I learned to dance when I was little, and I also learned sword dancing. Xiao Ze, do you want to see?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"Of course, it would be my honor."
"Hehe."
Xiao Ze immediately turned off the lights.
The firefly sword glowed on its own, making the effect even better.
Xiao Ze and the others sat on the sofa, while Ning Rongrong had already moved to a spacious area.
Ning Rongrong held the firefly sword casually and struck a pose.
The sword glowed with a faint blue light, tracing a dreamlike, illusory path in the darkness.
"In the darkness, this firefly sword is truly beautiful."
"Indeed beautiful."
Ning Rongrong lightly tapped her toes, her figure like a swallow, the sword blade twirling with her wrist, leaving a trail of shimmering light in the air, like a cascade of stars.
Then she spun and leaped, her skirt fluttering, the sword tip arcing upwards, and the fluorescent stone on the firefly sword suddenly brightened, as if scattering a shower of stardust around her.
Wherever the sword passed, the air seemed to be cut into tiny light fissures, which lingered briefly before slowly dissipating.
Ning Rongrong quickly activated Wind Howling Acceleration, and her sword speed instantly increased. The blade's light merged into a continuous stream, like a woven moonlight net, and the sword's hum was clear as a bell.
She suddenly swept low, then slashed high in mid-air, sword shadows intertwining with her graceful movements, so light it seemed she had no weight.
Xiao Ze and Dugu Yan and the others were already mesmerized.
Especially Xiao Ze; this was his first time seeing such a sword dance, and it was truly beautiful.
He hadn't expected Rongrong to possess such a talent.
It was truly impressive.
As expected of the young miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If her Spirit were a sword, Xiao Ze felt it would be even better, but alas.
Finally, Ning Rongrong stood on one foot, the sword sweeping around, drawing a perfect arc, all the light trails converging like rivers returning to the sea, gathering at the sword tip.
The glow of the fluorescent stone dimmed, leaving only her gently rising chest and the satisfied smile on her lips.
Ning Rongrong saw Xiao Ze's gaze.
Seeing her boyfriend enjoy watching so much, Ning Rongrong decided to learn a few more when she went back, determined to thoroughly impress Xiao Ze.
Clap, clap, clap—
Dugu Yan clapped her hands directly: "Rongrong, you're amazing! I didn't expect you could perform such a sword dance. If we didn't know you, we'd think your Spirit was a sword."
"Yes, truly amazing. Such a sword dance can't be done without some skill. Rongrong, how long have you been learning?" Meng Yiran asked.
Ning Rongrong slowly walked to the sofa and sat on Xiao Ze's lap.
Xiao Ze wiped the slight sweat from Ning Rongrong's forehead.
"To be precise, I haven't been learning it for very long. I've learned more other dances, but I'll go and learn more for Xiao Ze to see."
Xiao Ze's heart warmed, and he pinched her tender cheek: "Your health is more important. Get some good rest. The sword dance isn't urgent."
"Hehe."
"By the way, Rongrong, lend me the Liuli Business Association for a few days."
"What's wrong?" Ning Rongrong asked, surprised.
"I want to sell something to someone."
"Oh?" Ning Rongrong knew immediately that someone was about to have bad luck.
"Can you tell me? If not, that's fine." Ning Rongrong was a bit curious.
Xiao Ze kissed her cheek, "There's nothing bad about saying it. Do you know who that little girl next to Tang San is?"
"Little girl? The one with very long hair?" Dugu Yan asked.
"The one with the Soft Bones RabbitSpirit."
"Exactly, it's her."
"Isn't she human?" Ning Rongrong asked.
Xiao Ze shook his head, "Of course not. She is a 100,000-year Soft Bones Rabbit that has taken human form."
"Ah?!"
"How is that possible!"
"Soft Bones Rabbit!?"
All the girls were shocked, as such a thing was too outrageous.
There weren't many 100,000-year Spirit Beasts, and now there was one right in front of them that had taken human form.
"That's not right. Grandpa Sword saw Xiao Wu last time, but he didn't say anything?" Ning Rongrong asked suspiciously.
"Perhaps Grandpa Sword wasn't paying attention, so he didn't notice. Or it's possible Xiao Wu fainted directly back then, and her aura was very faint. Besides, Grandpa Sword left quickly."
"That's true."
"You know that Tang San, Xiao Wu, and I used to be at the same school, so I know them very well. Many of Xiao Wu's behaviors are not what a human should have.
And she loves to eat carrots, not the kind humans eat."
