70: Strange comparisons between women
Ten days later.
The morning sun dispelled the mist in the forest, and the halo of light slowly moved across the ground, giving the view a sense of having been washed clean of impurities.
One man and two women sat on a hillside in the Sunset Forest, quietly waiting for their prey to arrive.
Unlike the two women who occasionally whispered, the young man lay quietly leaning against a stone, arms crossed, feigning sleep.
Under the morning sun, the young man's chiseled face was like warm, soft mutton-fat jade, and his lively eyes were now peacefully closed, giving off a surprisingly calm and comfortable aura.
It seemed as if the entire World had pressed the pause button.
At this moment, Su Ye had finished absorbing the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, gaining a body resistant to both water and fire.
Dugu Bo was busy detoxifying Dugu Yan and cultivating his poison arts, so it was estimated that he wouldn't be seen for a short while.
Recently, he had been rushing around for strength; it was a rare moment of leisure. Just as Zhu Zhuqing and the other needed to hunt Soul Beasts, Su Ye also took the opportunity to be lazy.
Under the powerful medicinal effects of the two Immortal Herbs, Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation had broken through to level forty, requiring her to hunt two Soul Rings.
Although Ning Rongrong's improvement was less, she was currently level thirty-five.
But for her, the evolution of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and breaking the Soul Sage confinement was the most worth celebrating matter.
If she hadn't been using the diluted energy from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to temper her body these past few days, she probably would have already run back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to report the good news.
These past few days, Ning Rongrong had been incredibly well-behaved, almost worshipping Su Ye; there wasn't a trace of her usual temper.
Su Ye also got the method of split control as he wished, but he was too busy and hadn't had time to cultivate it yet.
"Zhuqing, when do you think those Soul Beasts will come?"
Sitting on a swing, Ning Rongrong naturally swung her smooth calves.
Her delicate and elegant little face was full of vigor, lively and spirited, brimming with anticipation.
Being level thirty-five at the age of twelve was extremely rare in the entire history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Although it was due to the Immortal Herbs, which Soul Master doesn't need opportunities to cultivate?
Thinking that she would soon obtain a thousand-year Soul Ring and become a Soul Venerable, Ning Rongrong was already impatient.
Zhu Zhuqing calmly replied, "Didn't that guy say, 'Let the bullet fly for a while'?"
"Since he said it, there's definitely no problem."
"We just need to wait."
Ning Rongrong clicked her tongue, staring at Zhu Zhuqing without speaking.
Feeling that something was off, Zhu Zhuqing then looked up.
Noticing Ning Rongrong's gaze at that moment, her expression seemed a little unnatural.
Ning Rongrong said with smiling eyes, "Zhuqing, alright, you're already learning to follow your husband's lead so quickly."
"Hmph, I guess I misjudged you before. I thought you were someone with strong principles!"
Ning Rongrong stuck out her little pink tongue, her eyes seemingly saying 'traitor'.
Zhu Zhuqing smiled helplessly, "You were born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and grew up pampered. Without my experiences, you naturally feel this way."
"If your life had been destined from a young age, then you would also be able to empathize and understand how difficult it is to be with someone you like."
As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but glance towards Su Ye, the subtle light in her eyes like a flowing river.
If she hadn't met him in the Star Dou Great Forest that day, been forced to travel with someone she disliked, and lost her life on the path of vying for the throne, that would probably have been the rest of her life.
Now, she had figured it out.
Even if Su Ye wasn't strong, she could actually choose her own life and didn't need to feel like a burden to him.
It was just that her choice seemed very correct.
He... is really good!
Recalling someone's forceful tenderness these past few days, Zhu Zhuqing felt both shy and annoyed.
This guy just knew how to humiliate her, forcefully tearing off her aloof facade and making her lose face completely in front of Ning Rongrong.
Now, she could only lie flat and give up.
"Uh..."
Ning Rongrong found it a bit hard to respond to this. She didn't expect Zhu Zhuqing not only not to refute but to admit it openly.
Heavens!
Indeed, lust makes one lose their mind!!
"Maybe."
Ning Rongrong chuckled in response. Thinking of Zhu Zhuqing's experiences, she thought that Zhu Zhuqing had now finally come to the end of her suffering and the beginning of happiness.
That guy was just a bit unreliable, but his strength and talent were probably unmatched in the entire continent.
Thinking of this, a shiver went down Ning Rongrong's spine, and a strange feeling instantly surged up.
"Zhuqing, why don't we become sisters?"
Zhu Zhuqing was startled, but Ning Rongrong became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, her face full of joy and excitement, vividly explaining to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Look, after we become sisters, you'll have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School backing you up."
"Even if the Dai family causes you trouble later, with the power of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, we won't be afraid at all."
"My dad is a very good person. With our friendship, he will definitely be on your side."
Ning Rongrong hugged Zhu Zhuqing's arm, her little face full of intimacy and flattery, as if she was facing her lucky star.
Back in Soto City, it was also Zhu Zhuqing who stepped forward to resolve the crisis for her.
Now, because of her, her Martial Soul had evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
This shows that there must be some kind of bond between them.
Now, her cultivation and potential are top-tier existences on the entire continent, and she is very compatible with her, who will be the future number one support.
If they don't become sisters, it will be hard to end this!
"We are already sisters, aren't we?"
Zhu Zhuqing smiled knowingly, knowing that Ning Rongrong was likely aiming for Su Ye, but she didn't expose someone's little scheme.
Before, she would definitely have felt her dignity was offended, but now that she was with Su Ye, it seemed like face wasn't very useful.
Someone never considers face.
"However..."
"What's wrong?"
Ning Rongrong's heart tightened, instantly feeling something was wrong. She couldn't go back on this.
Meeting Ning Rongrong's nervous gaze, Zhu Zhuqing raised her delicate chin and said without question:
"I want to be the older sister!"
Huh???
Ning Rongrong gasped, her eyes wide with shock, "Hey, hey, hey, get it straight, alright? I'm a few months older than you, so you should call me big sister according to reason!"
"My level is higher, isn't it?"
"You..."
"Even without taking the Immortal Herbs, my level was higher, wasn't it?"
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her hands, looking smug. Clearly, her ability was stronger.
"..."
Glancing at Zhu Zhuqing's large chest, Ning Rongrong's small fists trembled. She was so speechless for a moment.
"Sooner or later, someone will squeeze them flat. See if you're still so smug then!"
Ning Rongrong huffed angrily, lowered her head, and stopped talking, glancing at her own small 'bean buns', her expression even more gloomy.
"You..."
Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face flushed red with anger. She irritably pinched Ning Rongrong's slender waist. What nonsense are you saying? How can you even say such things?
Swoosh!
Just as the two were playing around, a dangerous aura suddenly swept through the layers of trees, turning into a chilling wave of wind blowing towards them.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong immediately stopped their playing and prepared to deal with the approaching Soul Beast.
"Finally here..."
Su Ye had also opened his eyes at some point. He stretched, slowly got up, and began to welcome today's lucky one.
