Chapter 129: Distributing Immortal Herbs to the Three Girls
Ning Rongrong immediately broke into a mischievous smile upon hearing this.
"Hmm, you make a good point."
Zhu Zhuqing's expression darkened again, but this was a normal reaction. After all, she wasn't a close relative, and she wasn't an exceptional genius either. Why would anyone go to such great lengths for her?
"How about you marry my brother and become my sister-in-law? That way, you won't be considered an outsider anymore."
"Ah?"
Zhu Zhuqing's face immediately turned bright red, and she thought about that figure she had only seen briefly. For some reason, she didn't feel repulsed at all.
"No way!"
Before the little cat could say anything, the little rabbit was already objecting. However, after her rebuttal, her face remained flushed, and there was no further discussion.
Ning Rongrong understood her new friend's feelings and mischievously grinned again.
"Oh! I get it! Xiao Wu wants to be my sister-in-law too, huh? Looks like Zhuqing's situation is still up for consideration!"
"Ah! You little brat, stop saying nonsense!"
After saying that, she pounced on her sister, and another round of teasing filled the carriage.
This time, however, there was an extra steam-powered cat.
After a while, the carriage finally quieted down.
"By the way, Da Ming, where's my brother? Why are you the one here to pick us up?"
Da Ming, feeling pleased that the girls finally remembered him, smiled.
"Ning Bei had something to take care of, so he asked me to protect you."
"Hmph, that annoying brother of mine. I think he's just having fun and didn't bring us along!"
Two days later, the group had not made many stops and had returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Ning Rongrong, along with her two friends, knocked on Ning Bei's door.
"Stinky brother, you said you were busy, but you're just sitting here at home, huh?"
Ning Bei looked at the angry Ning Rongrong and the little cat behind her with confusion.
"What's going on? Aren't you supposed to be with Shrek in Heaven Dou City?"
After Da Ming explained everything, Ning Bei finally understood the situation. He hadn't expected the two girls to get fed up with Shrek's group so quickly, and he hadn't thought they would bring the little cat back so soon.
Ning Rongrong, using the excuse that he hadn't taken her out to play, extended her delicate hand and demanded a gift.
After thinking for a moment, Ning Bei felt it was time to give these girls some support, so he flipped his hand, and the Dan Tower appeared.
He handed over a Qiluo Tulip and two Water Fairy Bone Herbs to the three girls. After all, with the upcoming Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament, the few young ones from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wouldn't be enough. These three girls were just the right fit.
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were already familiar with the wonders of the immortal herbs, and their faces were filled with excitement as they looked at the Qiluo Tulip and the Water Fairy Bone Herbs in their hands.
Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, was a bit confused. Holding the immortal herb, she looked at the two girls with uncertainty.
Seeing the confusion in the little cat's eyes, Ning Rongrong hurriedly explained.
"This is a rare immortal herb, each one is a creation of the heavens, and after consuming it, it can greatly benefit your martial soul and soul power. Even if it doesn't allow your martial soul to evolve, it can still give you several levels of soul power improvement."
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened in surprise, and she immediately looked anxiously at Ning Bei.
"Th-this... Is it really okay for me to use this? I can't accept it."
Ning Bei looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was still able to resist the urge to accept the treasure, and nodded slightly. This was much more human than someone eagerly accepting an entire hotpot of food.
"Take it. Rongrong doesn't have much combat ability. If you feel uncomfortable accepting it, just make sure to protect her more in the future."
"This..."
Hearing Ning Bei's words, Zhu Zhuqing felt a wave of emotion. Power was exactly what she needed right now, but she still hesitated. She already owed Ning Bei quite a bit, and accepting this immortal herb would mean she could never repay him in this lifetime.
Ning Rongrong noticed her hesitation and quickly tried to persuade her.
"Come on, Zhuqing, just accept it. You don't want Xiao Wu and I to become Soul Kings or Soul Emperors while you're still just a Soul Grandmaster, do you?"
"This..."
The little cat's desire grew stronger after hearing that.
Ning Rongrong, seeing this, couldn't help but smile mischievously.
"Zhuqing, didn't we agree before that you'd marry my brother and give him ten or so little cats? You won't be worried about owing us a favor then, will you?"
Hearing this, the little cat's face turned bright red, and she nervously glanced at Ning Bei. Seeing him staring at her with a strange expression, she quickly shot Ning Rongrong a fierce glare.
"You little brat, stop saying nonsense. I'll seal your mouth with glue if you keep talking."
Ning Rongrong immediately put on a scared expression, squeezed her way to Ning Bei's side, and hugged his arm, looking up at him with teary eyes.
"Brother, look at my little sister-in-law, she's already planning to bully me before even officially entering the family. You can't forget about me, your beautiful, obedient, and cute sister, just because you have a wife now!"
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Ning Rongrong's teasing caused the little cat to explode, and the two girls started fighting.
"Ah, sister-in-law, I'm sorry, don't tickle me!"
"I'll make you talk, you little brat!"
Ning Bei looked at the two girls as they fought, feeling helpless. How could his sister have a talent for matchmaking? It was quite amusing, actually. When he rewarded her with sugar-roasted chestnuts next time, he'd consider going easy on her.
Ning Bei glanced at Xiao Wu, who seemed to be watching the fight with a strange expression. If he wasn't mistaken, was that envy?
What's there to envy? If she wanted to join in, she could! I really don't understand what this woman is thinking.
Little did he know, the little rabbit was actually envious of how easily Ning Rongrong had made the little cat accept the role of sister-in-law.
A few minutes later, Zhu Zhuqing finally calmed down, brushing away the mischievous hand that had been causing trouble, blushing as she stood up.
"Well, Ning Bei, don't listen to Rongrong's nonsense, I didn't..."
Ning Bei rolled his eyes. "I'm not imagining things either. I haven't even completely solved things with that jealous little angel at home. If she finds out I have another new sister, she'll probably be angry for a long time and refuse to go to the Ice God Palace with me."
"Don't worry, I'm not thinking anything strange. Just take the immortal herb and focus on cultivating."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded heavily, letting out a sigh of relief. Yet for some reason, she still felt a faint sense of loss in her heart.
"Brother, how do I take the immortal herb? Do I just eat it directly?"
"The Qiluo Tulip can be consumed directly."
Ning Bei answered his sister's question and then looked at Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.
"For the Water Fairy Bone Herb, just eat the petals and suck on the flower's stamen, then channel your soul power into it."
The two girls nodded, signaling that they understood.
The three of them happily rushed out of Ning Bei's room, looking for a place to absorb the immortal herbs. They didn't want to waste any time experiencing the feeling of being empowered.
Ning Bei watched their backs, resting his hand on his chin, deep in thought.
"With them, along with Long Nianbing, Ah Du, and Ye Yinzhu, there are only six of them. It seems I'll need to find a few more powerful people. If it doesn't work, I can ask Yan Zi to back us up. A Soul Emperor's strength is still manageable."
With this in mind, Ning Bei planned to discuss the tournament arrangements with Dugu Yan after returning from the sea. After all, the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation had three Soul Kings.
This decision made Ning Bei feel a bit embarrassed, though. Having his women help another woman's reputation seemed shameless no matter how he looked at it.
But for the sake of future happiness, Ning Bei thought, "What's pride? It's gone!"
