Chapter 68: Strange Comparisons Between Women.
Ten days later.
The morning sun dispelled the fog in the forest, and its halo slowly moved across the ground, giving a sense of freedom from all worldly desires.
A man and two women sat on a hillside in the Sunset Forest, quietly waiting for their prey to appear.
Unlike the two women who were whispering to each other from time to time, the boy lay quietly beside a stone with his arms folded, dozing off.
Under the morning sun, the boy's angular cheeks were like white jade, warm and soft yellow. His pair of bright eyes were now peacefully closed, giving people a surprisingly quiet and comfortable feeling.
It seemed as if the whole world had pressed the pause button.
At this moment, Su Ye had already absorbed the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, making his physique invulnerable to water and fire.
Dugu Bo was busy detoxifying Dugu Yan and practicing his poison skills, so it was unlikely that he would appear for a while.
Su Ye had been training hard recently, so it was rare for him to have some free time. Fortunately, Zhu Zhuqing and the others needed to hunt soul beasts, so Su Ye decided to take a break.
Thanks to the powerful medicinal effects of the two immortal herbs, Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation level had broken through to level 40, and she now needed to hunt two spirit rings.
Although Ning Rongrong's improvement was less dramatic, she was currently at level 35. But for her, the evolution of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower and breaking free from the Soul Saint's confinement were the most noteworthy achievements.
If she hadn't used the energy diluted by the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire to temper her body these past few days, she would have returned to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect to report her good news.
Ning Rongrong had been so well-behaved recently that she almost worshiped Su Ye. She had no temper at all. Su Ye also received the distraction control method as he had hoped, but he was too busy and had no time to practice it.
"Zhuqing, when do you think those soul beasts will come?" Ning Rongrong asked, sitting on a swing and swinging her smooth legs.
Her delicate little face was full of vitality, and her expression was lively and full of expectation.
It was extremely rare to reach level 35 at the age of twelve in the entire history of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. Although this was largely due to the immortal herbs, which soul master doesn't need opportunities to advance?
Ning Rongrong couldn't wait to obtain a thousand-year soul ring and become a soul master.
Zhu Zhuqing calmly replied, "Didn't that guy say that? Let's just wait a while."
"Since he said that, there's no problem," Ning Rongrong agreed. "Let's just wait."
Ning Rongrong clicked her tongue and stared at Zhu Zhuqing without saying a word.
Sensing something was wrong, Zhu Zhuqing glanced up.
Noticing Ning Rongrong's gaze, her face became slightly unnatural.
Ning Rongrong smiled and said, "Zhuqing, it's great. You're learning to follow your husband so quickly."
"Humph, I misjudged you before. I thought you were a very steadfast person!"
Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue, her eyes indicating that she thought Zhu Zhuqing had betrayed her.
Zhu Zhuqing smiled helplessly, "You were born in the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and grew up in luxury. You don't have my experiences, so you naturally feel this way."
"If your life had been destined from the start, then you could empathize with how difficult it is to be with someone you like."
As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but glance in Su Ye's direction. The light in her eyes was like an endless river.
If she hadn't met him in the Xingdou Great Forest that day, she would have been forced to follow the same path as someone she hated and lose her life on her way to the throne. This is probably how the second half of her life would have turned out.
Now she had figured it out.
Even if Su Ye wasn't strong, she could still choose her own life and didn't need to feel like she was holding him back.
It seemed that her choice had been the right one.
He… was really good!
Remembering the forced tenderness from the past few days, Zhu Zhuqing felt a mix of embarrassment and anger.
This guy only knew how to humiliate her and forcibly tore off her cold facade, making her lose face in front of Ning Rongrong.
Now, all she could do was lie down and mess it up.
"Uh…"
Ning Rongrong was a little confused by what Zhu Zhuqing had said. To her surprise, Zhu Zhuqing didn't refute it but admitted it openly.
Oh my!
It's true that lust makes one lose their mind!!
"Maybe."
Ning Rongrong chuckled, thinking of Zhu Zhuqing's experience. It seemed that she had finally gotten her wish.
That guy was just a little out of tune, but his strength and talent were probably second to none on the entire continent.
Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong's heart raced, and a wonderful feeling surged to her head.
"Zhuqing, how about we become sisters?"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned, but Ning Rongrong became more and more excited, her face full of joy and anticipation as she vividly explained to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Look, after we become sisters, you will have the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's support in the future."
"Even if the Dai family causes trouble for you, we won't have to fear it at all with the power of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect."
"My father is a good man. With our friendship, he will definitely stand by your side."
Ning Rongrong hugged Zhu Zhuqing's arm, her little face full of intimacy and flattery, as if she were facing her lucky star.
Back in Soto City, it was Zhu Zhuqing who stepped forward to help her resolve the crisis. Now, because of her, Su Ye's spirit had evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tower.
This showed that there must be some bond between them.
Now, her cultivation and potential were also top-notch in the entire continent, and she was very compatible with her future first assistant. If they weren't sisters, it would be hard to let it end!
"We are sisters, aren't we?"
Zhu Zhuqing smiled knowingly, realizing that Ning Rongrong was probably trying to get closer to Su Ye, but she didn't expose her thoughts.
In the past, she might have felt that her dignity was being offended, but now that she was with Su Ye, it seemed that face was useless.
Someone never cared about face.
"But…"
"What's wrong?" Ning Rongrong asked, her heart skipping a beat. She instantly felt something was wrong—Zhu Zhuqing couldn't be backing out now, could she?
Facing Ning Rongrong's nervous eyes, Zhu Zhuqing raised her delicate chin and said without hesitation, "I want to be the sister!"
Huh? ? ?
Ning Rongrong took a deep breath, her eyes filled with fury. "Hey, hey, hey, you should understand that I'm a few months older than you! You should call me 'sister'!"
"My level is higher, isn't it?"
"You…"
"Even if I didn't take the magic herbs, my level would still be higher, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing put down her hands, her face smug as she clearly had the upper hand.
"…"
Ning Rongrong glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's chest, her fists trembling as she became speechless.
"Sooner or later, you'll be crushed by someone. You're still so arrogant!"
Ning Rongrong said angrily, lowered her head, and stopped talking. She glanced at her little chest, her face becoming even gloomier.
"You…"
Zhu Zhuqing was so angry that her pretty face turned red. She pinched Ning Rongrong's thin waist unhappily and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? How dare you say such things?"
Suddenly, a dangerous aura spread through the layers of trees, turning into a cold wind and waves blowing towards them.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong immediately stopped their playful bickering and prepared to face the incoming soul beast.
"Finally here…"
Su Ye opened his eyes, having no idea when he had awakened. He stretched his waist, slowly stood up, and began to prepare for today's battle.
