Heaven Fire Academy.
Huo Wu was stomping her feet in anger right now.
"Damn it!"
"Liam, you're such a scoundrel. I finally got to be a lucky audience member, and you didn't give me any reward at all?"
"Scoundrel! Scoundrel! Scoundrel!"
Huo Wu was so angry her chest felt like it would explode.
What's wrong with being a supporting character?
Do supporting characters not have stories?
I have tons of stories, you damn guy! Why don't you write about me?
No way!!
The more Huo Wu thought about it, the angrier she got. She decided to go find Liam right away. She wanted to tell Liam to his face that she, Huo Wu, definitely had a story.
However.
The most heartbroken person, however, was none other than the Little Witch who had run away from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Rongrong left home early, wanting to explore the outside world, with her destination being Soto City's Shrek.
Upon reaching Soto City.
After seeing the content of Liam's diary, Ning Rongrong finally changed her mind. Why go to Shrek? Wouldn't it be better to go find Liam?
So, as soon as she arrived in Soto City, she turned back, preparing to go directly to Heaven Dou City to find him.
She had just left the city when she saw the new diary entry today. Liam was done with his business and was going to Shrek to find Yu Xiaogang next?
Alright!
Ning Rongrong thought about it. If she returned to Heaven Dou City now, she might not meet him along the way. It would be better to follow her original plan and join Shrek first to wait for him.
Just as she was feeling happy and thinking she was clever, she suddenly discovered a key point in the diary.
Here comes the key point.
[After all, after Ning Rongrong consumed the qiluo tulip, her Martial Soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, upgraded to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. The Nine-Heart Begonia should also be able to break through its limitations.]
???
Ning Rongrong felt her brain wasn't quite keeping up. When did she consume a qiluo tulip? She didn't even know what that was!
Wait.
Liam had written before that the Shrek team members had all consumed Immortal Herbs. According to the original plot, she would get the qiluo tulip later and then break the limitations of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
But now.
All the Immortal Herbs were cut by Liam and even given to Ye Lingling, the woman with the Nine-Heart Begonia.
This meant that the Immortal Herbs were gone, and her Martial Soul wouldn't be able to become the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?
"Wa... woo woo woo..."
In the carriage.
Ning Rongrong, who had just left the city, immediately started wailing, tears streaming down her face, heartbroken!
"Liam, I hate you."
"I hate you so much, I detest you to death."
"Woo woo woo—!"
Two figures walked over from a distance.
One blue, one pink.
Weren't these Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were going to Shrek for school?
Xiao Wu saw a carriage stopped outside the city from afar, with heart-wrenching cries coming from inside. Her heart tightened, and she said, "Tang San, there's a girl crying over there. She's crying so sadly!"
"Hurry, let's go see."
Xiao Wu quickly ran over, jumped onto the carriage, and shouted, "Hey! What's wrong?"
Inside, Ning Rongrong's crying stopped for a moment, then continued to wail.
Xiao Wu looked at the coachman, who also shook his head, looking completely bewildered.
"Hey!"
"Why aren't you saying anything? Were you bullied?"
"Mind your own business!"
Ning Rongrong jumped down from the carriage. Her Little Witch temper flared up, and she wiped away her tears and retorted!
Xiao Wu was also extremely annoyed: "How can you be like this? I was kindly concerned about you, why are you speaking so impolitely?"
Tang San tugged at Xiao Wu, signaling her not to meddle.
Xiao Wu was also stubborn and immediately clenched her fists: "This person is too hateful. Sister Xiao Wu was kindly concerned about her, and she's so rude!"
"I'm going to teach her a lesson today."
"How dare you!"
Ning Rongrong's face instantly turned fierce, then she suddenly asked, "What did you just say your name was?"
"Hmph!" Xiao Wu snorted, "My name is Xiao Wu, the Wu of dancing."
Ning Rongrong's charming emerald green eyes rolled, and she suddenly focused on Tang San, asking:
"Then are you called Tang San?"
Hmm?
Tang San's brows furrowed instantly, his eyes becoming sharp:
"You know us?"
Although it wasn't enough to warrant killing, he clearly became cautious.
Ning Rongrong's expression became complicated. She sized up Tang San, then carefully looked at Xiao Wu:
The twenty-nine-year-old strange uncle.
The hundred-thousand-year rogue rabbit.
What a coincidence, she actually ran into them. They must be going to Shrek together, right?
Ning Rongrong extended her hand in greeting and introduced herself:
"Hello, my name is Ning Rongrong."
Tang San and Xiao Wu, however, ignored her, which made Ning Rongrong feel a bit unhappy.
What's going on?
I'm being polite to you, and you're putting on a face.
Tang San spoke indifferently:
"We don't know each other, so we won't bother you."
"Xiao Wu, let's go!"
Xiao Wu turned to leave, but Ning Rongrong suddenly called out:
"Hey!"
"That Xiao Wu, I have something to tell you."
Xiao Wu felt a sense of unease but still walked back, looking at Ning Rongrong with vigilance.
Ning Rongrong leaned into Xiao Wu's ear and whispered:
"Spirit Hall's Bibi Dong, love-struck teacher and disciple."
Xiao Wu instantly turned pale with shock and whispered back the secret code: "Spirit Hall's Hu Liena, love-struck teacher and disciple."
"It's you."
"It's me."
"I..."
"You..."
Gentle breeze blows the willow, may I ask if you are a fellow daoist?
Beer, crayfish, fellow daoists are one family!
These two matched the secret code of fellow daoists. Their relationship instantly changed from cold strangers to one of extreme intimacy.
Tang San:???
Ning Rongrong actively hugged Xiao Wu and said, "You're going to Shrek, right? I happen to be going to Shrek too. Let's go together tomorrow."
Xiao Wu nodded heavily. The bridge of friendship had been built. There was a strange sense of belonging and trust between fellow daoists. After all, they knew many secrets about each other and could share them.
She actively took Ning Wu's hand and asked in a low voice, "Then why were you crying just now? Why were you so sad?"
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong's eyes dimmed and she said, "You didn't see today, my Martial Soul could have evolved, so I..."
Xiao Wu listened, thought for a moment, and comforted her:
"Actually... I think there's still a chance. At least you know what that Immortal Herb is called, maybe he still has some?"
"Wow, that seems right!"
"Let's go, let's go, Xiao Wu, let's go into the city together. I'll treat you to something delicious."
Tang San stood quietly in place, watching the two of them happily ditch him. He couldn't help but feel a little angry. Who exactly was this woman?
What was her purpose in approaching him and Xiao Wu?
Heh!
You'd better not be plotting anything, or else...
Sunset Forest.
Liam had good luck here. He quickly encountered a suitable Soul Beast for Dugu Yan. As for Ye Lingling, it was even simpler.
Her Martial Soul doesn't attach Soul Skills, so as long as the age was suitable, any one would do.
In the afternoon.
The four of them left the Sunset Forest and got into a carriage back to Heaven Dou City.
Dugu Bo had been thinking for a long time. He looked at Liam and said,
"Kid, can I trouble you with something?"
Liam smiled calmly and said,
"Although we had a transaction before, we can be considered acquainted. Yanyan and I are also friends. Just say whatever you need."
