Chapter 81 I can't grasp it at all
Two days later.
In the inner area of the Star Dou Great Forest, Zhu Zhuqing was sitting cross-legged, absorbing a black ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
Beside her lay a Ghost Leopard, a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast that had lost its life.
The Ghost Leopard is a dark-attribute agility-attack system Spirit Beast. Although its age was similar to the Vigorous Vajra Bear that Ye Chen and Zhu Zhuqing encountered a few days ago, and their strength was also similar, in Ye Chen's opinion, the Ghost Leopard was much easier to deal with than the Vigorous Vajra Bear.
Because agility-attack system Spirit Beasts don't have strong defenses, and the Ghost Leopard's defense was far inferior to a Vigorous Vajra Bear of the same age.
After being controlled by Ye Chen's Spirit Ability, the storm of bullets from the six-barreled Gatling machine gun rained down, directly riddling it with holes. Then, Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward to finish it off, taking it down in one go.
Although this Ghost Leopard was ten thousand years old, Zhu Zhuqing had cultivated the Creation Body Tempering Art and the Creation Soul Forging Art, so absorbing it was not very difficult.
...
When the sun was high in the sky, Zhu Zhuqing successfully refined the spirit ring. Her spirit power level rose from the previous 40th-level quasi-Spirit Ancestor to the 42nd-level Spirit Ancestor.
However, her luck this time wasn't as good as last time. The previous Hell Civet directly came with a rare external Spirit Bone, while this ten-thousand-year Ghost Leopard didn't even drop a regular Spirit Bone.
'It seems that the youming immortal zhi only increased Zhuqing's spirit power by 7 levels?'
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing had only increased her spirit power by two levels, Ye Chen thought to himself.
A ten-thousand-year spirit ring could naturally allow a 40th-level Spirit Master to advance to 42nd-level. He estimated that Da Mao Mi, who had consumed an Immortal Herb before, had only just crossed the threshold of 40th-level, and had not accumulated too much unmanifested spirit power in her body.
Overall, Da Mao Mi made a huge profit on this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest. Not only did her spirit power level increase by more than one major rank, but she also gained an additional external Spirit Bone, which was a full harvest.
However, regarding Zhu Zhuqing's external Spirit Bone, Ye Chen did not plan to use the Spirit Bone Age Enhancement Card to increase its age.
This was not only due to a lack of money but also because external Spirit Bones can improve as the Spirit Master's level increases, so Ye Chen doesn't need to spend money on them.
The reason Ye Chen previously raised his external Spirit Bone, the Creation Green Lotus, to one hundred thousand years was that the efficiency of accumulating his small treasury would be higher after his spirit power level increased. Otherwise, he would not have spent gold coins on an external Spirit Bone.
Furthermore, in the future, Ye Chen does not intend to spend gold coins to increase the age of the Creation Green Lotus, because it is not cost-effective. With those gold coins, it would be better to use them to increase the age of other Spirit Bones or spirit rings. Anyway, the age of the Creation Green Lotus can automatically increase in the future.
"Zhuqing, how's your Spirit Ability?"
"My fourth Spirit Ability, Hell Shadow Clone, unlike the offensive third Spirit Ability, is a clone Spirit Ability that can create clones equal to the number of spirit rings.
And the Hell Shadow Clone is not just an illusion; these clones not only possess offensive power but can also use the Spirit Abilities I have, though they cannot use the fourth Spirit Ability."
"Is that so? Not bad."
Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded. A clone Spirit Ability naturally couldn't continue to use clones, otherwise, it would be an infinite loop.
He just didn't expect that his Da Mao Mi's Spirit Ability was similar to what was described in the original novel.
Now, Da Mao Mi's third Spirit Ability was still Hell Decapitation, a close-range single-target attack Spirit Ability, and her fourth Spirit Ability was still Hell Shadow Clone. However, the fourth spirit ring did not come from a Ghost Tiger, but from a ten-thousand-year Ghost Leopard.
Nevertheless, compared to the original novel, the spirit ring's age was higher, and the resulting Spirit Ability effects would certainly be better, such as stronger Spirit Ability attacks and less spirit power consumption.
"Alright, our business in the Star Dou Great Forest is over. Let's head back to the Academy!"
Since the objective had been achieved, Ye Chen did not intend to stay longer in the Star Dou Great Forest and decided to return directly to Shrek Academy.
"Mhm, but~"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, but hesitated as she thought of something.
"But what?"
"What will you tell Xiao Wu about my situation?"
As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed slightly.
Although Ye Chen and Xiao Wu addressed each other as siblings in the Academy, everyone knew they were a couple. Zhu Zhuqing was a little worried that Xiao Wu might not accept her.
As for herself, she didn't have much trouble accepting it.
After all, she came from a noble family in the Star Luo Empire, where it was very normal for a strong man to have multiple women.
For example, besides her mother, her father had many concubines. As long as Ye Chen wasn't like Dai Mubai, who changed women more often than he changed clothes, it would be fine.
According to rumors, Sect Master Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had over a hundred concubines. It's estimated that even his biological daughter, Ning Rongrong, might not be able to recognize all of her stepmothers; he's a real old scoundrel.
"Well, Xiao Wu already knows."
Thinking of Xiao Wu, who had been quite jealous a few days ago, Ye Chen's lips curved into a smile.
"Ah~ Xiao Wu already knew?"
"Don't look at Xiao Wu being so impulsive usually; she's actually very smart!"
"..."
Zhu Zhuqing's face turned crimson.
Looking at Da Mao Mi's alluring pretty face, Ye Chen couldn't help but give her a kiss.
"Ugh, you're all slobbery~"
...
Three days later, Ye Chen and Zhu Zhuqing returned to Shrek Academy.
"Zhuqing, why don't you move in and live with me?"
Ye Chen said to Zhu Zhuqing.
"No way! I'm afraid Rongrong will be scared alone at night."
The innocent Ning Rongrong was caught in the crossfire.
Although Ye Chen's suggestion made Zhu Zhuqing a little tempted, she still refused.
Xiao Wu lived with Ye Chen, and she felt a bit awkward about moving in abruptly.
"Tsk~ What a shame!"
Hearing that Da Mao Mi wouldn't come, Ye Chen felt a bit regretful.
He had originally thought about launching a surprise attack in the middle of the night, or sharing a bed, but it seemed that was out of the question for the time being.
"Brother Chen, you're not thinking of doing something bad, are you~"
Seeing Ye Chen's regretful expression, Zhu Zhuqing immediately thought of something.
"Of course not~ Even if I were to do something bad, I'd have to wait until we're older! Besides, I've already done all the bad things I could do."
Ye Chen said with a smile.
The two of them had rested for a night in Hunting Soul Town outside the Star Dou Great Forest yesterday. Ye Chen, unable to suppress his curiosity, had explored his Da Mao Mi's ample chest.
Da Mao Mi's ample chest was indeed ample; in any case, the young Ye Chen simply couldn't get a grip on it.
"Get lost."
Recalling the bad things Ye Chen did last night, Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face warmed up again.
Afterward, the two of them informed Flender, and Ye Chen then escorted Zhu Zhuqing back to her residence.
"Well, Zhuqing, tell me, where have you been these past few days? Why weren't you at the Academy?!"
As soon as the two entered the door, Ye Chen saw Ning Rongrong with her left hand on her hip, pointing at Zhu Zhuqing and questioning her loudly.
Facing Ning Rongrong's questioning, the two exchanged glances.
It seemed that when they went to the Star Dou Great Forest, they only informed Xiao Wu and Flender, but didn't tell Ning Rongrong?Chapter 82 Flanders is ready to live off his wife
"Rongrong, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you earlier, I went to the Star Dou Great Forest to add a spirit ring."
Seeing her best friend looking angry, Zhu Zhuqing began to explain.
"Uh, Zhuqing, weren't you only a Spirit Grandmaster at level 28 before? Why do you need to add a spirit ring already?"
Ning Rongrong was a bit confused. If she remembered correctly, Zhu Zhuqing was only a level 28 Spirit Grandmaster before she left, right?
Even if she had a breakthrough, wouldn't she only be level 29? What kind of spirit ring would she need?
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Chen.
"Want to know?"
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow at Ning Rongrong.
"Mhm, mhm."
Ning Rongrong nodded repeatedly, as if she had discovered some incredible secret, her curiosity extremely strong.
"If you want to know, then pay me back the money first!"
Several months had already passed, and the thirty-day 'housing repayment' period was long over. Even without compounding interest, Ning Rongrong still owed him over ten million gold coins.
"Hmph~, no money, and certainly not my life!"
At the mention of this, Ning Rongrong immediately snorted coldly and turned her head away.
"Then when your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can no longer afford it, you can prepare for a physical repayment!"
Ye Chen said with a teasing look.
Zhu Zhuqing: "..."
Good heavens, Ye Chen is eating from the bowl (Xiao Wu), looking at the pot (her), and still thinking about what's outside (Ning Rongrong). How can he be so impressive?
"Hmph~, physical repayment? If Xiao Wu doesn't mind, I wouldn't mind either!"
Ning Rongrong truly lived up to her reputation as a little devil, making a shocking statement.
"Rongrong, what are you saying! You're a girl."
Zhu Zhuqing said with a chiding tone.
"Tsk tsk~, a bit small. If you want a physical repayment, you're not quite enough."
Looking at Ning Rongrong, Ye Chen shook his head with a regretful expression.
"You~, hateful, you're going too far!"
Although she wasn't as big as Zhu Zhuqing, she was still at the average level for her age, wasn't she? And she was still young; she would grow bigger in the future, wouldn't she?
"Alright, don't make Rongrong angry anymore, let's go~"
Seeing the two trending towards being incompatible like fire and water, Zhu Zhuqing immediately pushed Ye Chen out the door.
"Hmm, for Zhuqing's sake, I won't bother with you."
Ye Chen said with a magnanimous expression.
"Hateful~!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes blazed with fire as she glared intensely at Ye Chen. If she weren't just a support system Spirit Master, she would definitely rush over and smash Ye Chen's dog head.
After 'driving' Ye Chen away, Zhu Zhuqing began to comfort Ning Rongrong.
"Rongrong, don't take it to heart."
"Hmph~, why does he say my chest is small? At the very least, isn't it still bigger than his?"
Ning Rongrong pouted, saying discontentedly.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened. Could this even be used for comparison?
"Darn it, if only mine were as big as yours."
Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing with an envious expression. Taking Zhu Zhuqing by surprise, she extended her mischievous hand and grabbed her.
"Stop messing around~!"
Zhu Zhuqing slapped away Ning Rongrong's mischievous little hand.
"Zhuqing, honestly tell me, what have you two been doing these past few days?"
Ning Rongrong pushed Zhu Zhuqing onto the sofa.
"What do you mean, what have we been doing~"
Thinking about what had happened these past few days, Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed slightly.
"You two definitely have something going on, don't deny it, otherwise why is your face red?"
Ning Rongrong pointed at Zhu Zhuqing's reddened face.
"No~"
"Still no? Oh, you Zhuqing, you've even learned to lie! Hurry up and confess honestly, or you'll face family punishment!"
Ning Rongrong said with a serious expression on her pretty face.
"Rongrong, why are you so curious? Could it be that you also have feelings for Brother Chen?"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes darted, changing the subject.
"How could that be?!"
Ning Rongrong immediately denied it. Ye Chen was so bad, how could she possibly like him?
"Why not? A few nights ago, you were calling his name in your dreams."
Zhu Zhuqing decided to trick Ning Rongrong.
"No way? Was I that obvious?"
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong froze on the spot, muttering to herself.
Ye Chen was her age, so strong, and handsome too. It was normal for a young girl to have a crush, but it shouldn't go as far as talking in her sleep, right?
"Oh, you Rongrong, I tricked you, didn't I? Hurry up and confess honestly!"
Zhu Zhuqing hadn't expected that a casual remark from her would be enough to trick Ning Rongrong.
"Darn it! Zhuqing, you actually tricked me, I'm going to fight you!"
Immediately, Ning Rongrong pounced on Zhu Zhuqing, and the two began to tussle.
...
Time flew by, one month later.
On this day, Flender received a letter from Liu Erlong.
More than a month ago, Flender had sent a letter to Liu Erlong, who was far away in Heaven Dou City.
He first complained to Liu Erlong about how Shrek Academy was impoverished and on the verge of closing down, then changed the subject, intending to take all the teachers and students of Shrek Academy to Heaven Dou City to seek refuge with her.
Upon receiving Flender's letter, Liu Erlong did not hesitate and immediately wrote back to Flender.
"Hmm, it seems Erlong still has me in her heart."
Flender looked at Liu Erlong's reply to him, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.
Subsequently, Flender immediately gathered Zhao Wuji, Shao Xin, and others, and began to discuss. After all, if he was going to Heaven Dou City to live off a woman, he had to discuss it with his old brothers.
...
The next morning, all the students of Shrek Academy gathered on the training ground.
"Ahem, I've gathered everyone today because I have an important announcement to make!"
Flender scanned the crowd, cleared his throat, and said with a serious expression.
Hearing this, Ye Chen had a guess in his heart. This should be Flender, under his wise guidance, having made up his mind to take everyone to Blue Tyrant Academy to live off a woman.
"Dean, what is this important matter?"
Ma Hongjun was the first to speak.
"I announce that Shrek Academy will close down as of today."
Flender's words were shocking.
"What? Dean, wasn't the Academy doing fine? How can it just close down?"
Ma Hongjun's eyes widened, almost suspecting that his ears had a problem.
"Exactly, Dean, if there are any difficulties, just tell us and we'll figure something out. Why close the Academy?"
Oscar looked puzzled.
"Exactly, exactly, Dean Flender, I've only been at the Academy for a few months! How can you close it? If you're short on money, I'll write to my father and ask him to provide some support."
Ning Rongrong was also reluctant. If the Academy closed, she would have nowhere to go. Did she have to go home?
No, no, she had run away from home. If she couldn't make a name for herself, she wouldn't have the face to go home like that.
Except for Ye Chen, who had guessed the inside story, everyone else expressed their willingness to contribute money or effort, insisting that Shrek Academy could not be closed.Chapter 83 The Fearless Ma Hongjun
"Haha, I haven't finished speaking yet! Why are you all making such a fuss?"
Looking at his lovely students, Flender felt deeply gratified.
"Although Shrek Academy is closed, I've decided to take you all to Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou City. Liu Erlong, the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, is a good friend of mine."
"Blue Tyrant Academy is a formal Advanced Spirit Master Academy. It has a simulated environment training ground and is qualified to participate in the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament."
"You Little freaks are all so outstanding; your future achievements are immeasurable. For the sake of your future prospects, I had no choice but to make this decision."
Saying this, Flender put on a sorrowful expression.
'Damn it, Flender, this cunning merchant, if he wants to freeload, he should just freeload. Why does he have to say it so righteously?'
Seeing Flender acting as if everything was for their own good, Ye Chen immediately started cursing in his heart.
He had seen shameless people, but never one as shameless as Flender!
"Dean, you want to take us to Blue Tyrant Academy?"
Ma Hongjun was stunned. What was Flender up to?
"Dean, this Senior Liu Erlong, could she be Liu Erlong, who is known as 'Corner of Slaughter'?"
Ning Rongrong pondered for a moment, then said to Flender.
When Flender, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang roamed the continent, their Spirit Fusion Skill made their names quite famous, and Ning Rongrong had some impression of them.
It must be said that although Ning Rongrong used to be a little devil, she was quite knowledgeable.
"Hmm, that's right."
Flender nodded.
"Dean, I heard that Senior Liu Erlong is still single. Taking us to Blue Tyrant Academy, it shouldn't just be for our sake, right?"
As if she had thought of something, Ning Rongrong said with a smile.
"Cough, cough~"
Having his true intentions exposed by Ning Rongrong, Flender immediately started coughing.
"Rongrong, is that true? Could it be that our Dean is finally having a late-life romance?"
Ma Hongjun immediately whispered to Ning Rongrong.
Immediately, everyone's gaze focused on Flender. They hadn't expected Flender to be such a person?!
'Hiss~, this Little Fatty is so brave!'
Ye Chen, who was beside them, gasped, admiring Ma Hongjun's fearless spirit.
Although Ma Hongjun's voice was very soft, Spirit Masters' ears were still very sharp. Even Ye Chen heard it, and Flender, as a Soul Sage, naturally couldn't have missed it.
"Little Fatty, what did you say? Me, having a late-life romance?"
Immediately, black lines appeared on Flender's forehead, and he glared fiercely at Ma Hongjun.
"No, no, Dean, you misheard."
Seeing Flender's unfriendly gaze, Ma Hongjun immediately shrank his neck and vehemently denied it.
"Hmph, whether I have a late-life romance or not, I don't know, but your butt will definitely be blooming today."
Flender snorted coldly.
"Dean, no~"
Ma Hongjun said to Flender with a desperate look.
"Alright, let's talk business first. Get ready. Three days from now, we'll depart for Heaven Dou City! Little Fatty, you come with me."
"I'm not going!"
Ma Hongjun shook his head like a rattle drum. He knew that if he went with Flender like this, he would definitely be in for a rough time.
"Hmph, that's not up to you!"
Flender showed a sinister smile, grabbed Ma Hongjun, who didn't have time to escape, and then disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Hehe, I hope Fatty won't be too miserable!"
Oscar watched Ma Hongjun being carried away by Flender, saying with a schadenfreude expression.
"Brother, will Fatty be alright?"
Xiao Wu also held a pessimistic attitude towards Ma Hongjun.
"I don't know, but the Dean should know his limits, right?"
Ye Chen thought for a moment, saying with some uncertainty.
Hmm, three seconds of silence for the Little Fatty who courted death.
...
That night, after Xiao Wu fell asleep, Ye Chen quietly got up and left his residence, heading towards Zhu Zhuqing's place.
Since the two confirmed their relationship, in the past month, Ye Chen had secretly gone to find Da Mao Mi several times under the cover of night.
After leaving the door, guided by the moonlight, Ye Chen quickly arrived at Zhu Zhuqing's residence.
Looking at the still open window of Zhu Zhuqing's room on the second floor, Ye Chen tiptoed up.
The Soul Guidance Small Villa had two bedrooms on the second floor, and Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing slept separately, which made it convenient for Ye Chen to launch a surprise attack.
Arriving at Zhu Zhuqing's room, Ye Chen didn't think much and immediately began exploring under the covers.
'Eh? Why does something feel off? Could Da Mao Mi have lost weight these past few days?'
Ye Chen realized that something seemed amiss?
'Wait, this feeling...'
Ye Chen had a bad premonition.
During the day, after Flender announced that everyone was going to Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou City, Ning Rongrong thought that her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was just outside Heaven Dou City, and she would be able to go home to visit, so she was a bit excited and couldn't sleep that night.
So, the sleepless Ning Rongrong thought of finding Zhu Zhuqing next door to whisper some secrets.
When she felt drowsy, as it was quite late, Ning Rongrong didn't return to her own room but slept with Zhu Zhuqing, and her position happened to be closer to the window.
Ning Rongrong, who was sleeping soundly, felt something unusual and quickly woke up.
At first, Ning Rongrong thought it was Zhu Zhuqing, who was sleeping next to her, playing a prank, but she didn't expect these hands to become more and more unrestrained.
Opening her eyes and looking at the moonlight streaming in through the window, Ning Rongrong saw a dark shadow, and her mind immediately went blank.
Because she could feel that Zhu Zhuqing was still lying beside her, then who was this dark shadow?
Coming back to her senses, Ning Rongrong realized that it wasn't Zhu Zhuqing who was attacking her, and immediately let out a scream.
"Ah—"
"Hmm? Rongrong, what's wrong?"
Hearing the scream, Zhu Zhuqing woke up with a blank expression, then turned on the light in the room.
"Uh, Brother Chen, why are you here?"
As soon as the light came on, Zhu Zhuqing immediately spotted Ye Chen.
"Ning Rongrong? Why is it you? Why are you in Zhuqing's room?"
Looking at the aggrieved Ning Rongrong and the bewildered Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Chen was a bit at a loss. No wonder he had felt something was off earlier. It turned out to be Ning Rongrong?
But then again, aside from being a bit smaller, the feel wasn't bad.
"Ye Chen? Woo woo~"
Thinking about the bad things Ye Chen had just done to her, Ning Rongrong's nose tingled, and tears fell from her eyes.
"Hey, Rongrong, don't cry~"
It would have been better if Ye Chen hadn't said anything, but as soon as he spoke, Ning Rongrong cried even harder.
"Brother Chen, what's going on with you two?"
Zhu Zhuqing asked with some confusion.
"Well~, I didn't realize Rongrong was here earlier. I thought it was just you, so then I just..."
Ye Chen said awkwardly.Chapter 84 Shameless Ye Chen
"..."
Zhu Zhuqing was speechless. With Ye Chen saying that, she guessed why Ning Rongrong was crying.
Ye Chen had ambushed people before, so for Ning Rongrong to be crying so hard now, she must have suffered Ye Chen's 'poisonous hands'.
"Rongrong, don't cry anymore."
Rolling her eyes at Ye Chen, Zhu Zhuqing began to comfort Ning Rongrong.
"Wuwu~, Zhuqing, wuwu~, my purity..."
At this moment, Ning Rongrong felt as wronged as possible. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have come to find Zhuqing tonight, which led to her years of purity being ruined in an instant.
"Well, Rongrong, don't cry yet~"
Ye Chen said anxiously from the side.
"Wuwu~"
Ning Rongrong ignored Ye Chen and continued to cry into Zhu Zhuqing's arms.
Although she had a tiny bit of affection for Ye Chen, that didn't mean her purity wasn't important.
After a long while, under Zhu Zhuqing's comfort, Ning Rongrong, perhaps tired from crying, stopped her sobs.
"Speak, how are you going to take responsibility!"
Staring with slightly red and swollen eyes, Ning Rongrong glared intently at Ye Chen.
"I was wrong before, tell me what to do and I'll do it!"
After thinking for a moment, Ye Chen braced himself and spoke. After all, what was done was done, and saying anything else was useless.
"Wuwu~"
Listening to Ye Chen's bluntness, Ning Rongrong realized that no matter what, she was going to suffer this huge loss? The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt, and tears began to fall again.
"Rongrong, stop crying first."
"Get out~, I don't want to see you!"
Ning Rongrong, with red eyes, ordered Ye Chen to leave.
"This~"
Looking at the sulking Ning Rongrong, Ye Chen didn't know what to do.
"Brother Chen, why don't you go back first? I'll talk to Rongrong."
Zhu Zhuqing, who was by the side, spoke up.
"This, alright, Zhuqing, comfort Rongrong well."
After thinking for a moment, with no better solution for now, Ye Chen could only agree.
Leaving Zhu Zhuqing's room, Ye Chen looked up at the bright moonlight, feeling a faint sadness.
'What kind of situation is this!'
...
Early the next morning, Ye Chen and Xiao Wu went to the cafeteria for breakfast.
Before long, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong also arrived.
As soon as Ning Rongrong saw Ye Chen, she immediately snorted at him. She didn't eat at the same table as Ye Chen as usual, but went to another table.
Clearly, Ning Rongrong was still bothered by what happened last night.
"Brother, what's wrong with Rongrong? Did you bully her?"
Xiao Wu looked at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression. Wasn't everything fine during dinner yesterday? Why did she look like she had a grudge this morning?
"Cough cough, Xiao Wu, don't ask, just eat."
Ye Chen took a large steamed bun and stuffed it into Xiao Wu's mouth.
Xiao Wu: Don't think I don't know you're changing the subject!
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Wu got up and sat next to Ning Rongrong.
"Rongrong, what's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
Xiao Wu asked Ning Rongrong with concern.
Facing Xiao Wu's confusion, Ning Rongrong opened her mouth but didn't say anything.
She couldn't very well say that Ye Chen did something bad to her last night, could she? It was too embarrassing to speak of.
The breakfast passed in a strange atmosphere.
After breakfast, Ye Chen said to Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, come with me for a moment."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong thought for a moment. The matter from last night needed to be addressed, so she followed Ye Chen out.
...
A corner of Shrek Academy.
"Rongrong, I'm sorry about last night. I apologize to you here."
"Hmph, is an apology useful? My purity has been ruined by you!"
Ning Rongrong glared at Ye Chen.
"How about this, why don't you become my girlfriend? That way, wouldn't your purity be restored?"
Ye Chen said shamelessly.
There was nothing wrong with that, after all, they were good friends, so hugging, cuddling, and kissing were normal, weren't they? Ye Chen just did it a little earlier?
Could it be considered getting on the bus first and then buying a ticket? No, they hadn't even gotten on the bus yet!
"You~, you're shameless!"
Ning Rongrong was almost driven mad. She had never seen anyone as shameless as Ye Chen! After bullying her, he actually wanted to continue bullying her in the future? Is he even human?
"Shameless? No, look how neat my teeth are?"
Ye Chen opened his mouth and pointed to his perfectly aligned white teeth.
"Damn it!"
Ning Rongrong felt she was on the verge of exploding from Ye Chen's feigned ignorance.
Seeing Ning Rongrong about to lose her temper, Ye Chen didn't even think, directly extending his index finger and lifting Ning Rongrong's chin.
"What are you doing?"
Ning Rongrong, whose chin was lifted, suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Do it!"
Saying that, Ye Chen directly kissed Ning Rongrong.
"Mmm mmm~"
Faced with the sudden ambush, Ning Rongrong's mind instantly went blank, and she immediately wanted to resist.
However, she was only a two-ring support system Spirit Master, how could she push away Ye Chen, a Spirit Ancestor?
After a long while, when Ning Rongrong was almost out of breath, Ye Chen finally released her.
"Are you still angry?"
"Damn it..."
As soon as Ning Rongrong broke free from the Binding, she immediately wanted to curse, but before she could finish, Ye Chen kissed her again.
"Mmm mmm~"
Their lips parted.
"Are you still angry?"
"You scoundrel..."
Another kiss.
Their lips parted.
"Are you still angry?"
"You..."
Another kiss.
This repeated. When Ye Chen kissed her again, he found that Ning Rongrong no longer resisted; instead, she began to respond.
Ye Chen: "..."
'This little girl likes this kind of tune?'
Ye Chen thought to himself.
Just as Ye Chen was secretly feeling pleased, he suddenly felt his lip being bitten.
"Hiss~, are you a dog?"
Feeling the pain and metallic taste in his mouth, Ye Chen pushed Ning Rongrong away.
"Hmph~, who told you to bully me without my permission?"
Ning Rongrong said with an arrogant expression.
"So, if you agree, I can bully you, right?"
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.
"Go to hell you~!"
Ning Rongrong glared angrily.
"Alright, Rongrong, will you be my girlfriend?"
Ye Chen said with a serious expression.
"Get lost~, I'm loved by everyone, and flowers bloom for me! The people who pursue me could line up from Soto City to Heaven Dou City, who wants to be your girlfriend?"
Although Ning Rongrong was tempted, she felt that she couldn't let Ye Chen off so easily, otherwise, wouldn't she be completely under his thumb in the future?
"That's not up to you. You already signed a contract of sale."
Ye Chen once again brought up the previous house purchase debt.
"Are you still talking about that?!"
Ning Rongrong said with wide eyes and an unfriendly expression.
"Okay, then I won't talk about it. Anyway, from now on, you are my girlfriend."
"Hmph~, unless you can get me my favorite ice cream within one minute, I won't agree."
Ning Rongrong pouted.
She didn't believe that Ye Chen could go to Soto City, buy ice cream, and then bring it to her within one minute.Chapter 85 It's getting more and more interesting!
"Are you sure? Don't go back on your word after I've brought it out."
Ye Chen looked at Ning Rongrong playfully. Ice cream and such were available in the System Shop, so there was no need to go out and buy it.
"Hmph, if you have the ability, then bring it out!"
Ning Rongrong didn't believe Ye Chen could really produce ice cream within a minute.
Even a Titled Douluo couldn't make a round trip between Shrek Academy and Soto City within a minute, let alone factor in the time to buy ice cream.
"Then watch carefully!"
Immediately, Ye Chen bought a strawberry-flavored ice cream from the System Shop.
"!!!"
Looking at the ice cream that appeared in Ye Chen's hand, Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.
"Here you go~"
Saying that, Ye Chen brought the strawberry ice cream to Ning Rongrong's mouth.
Involuntarily, Ning Rongrong licked it.
'Damn it~, what a little vixen!'
The more he thought about it, the more Ye Chen felt like he was in for a good time!
"Hmm? What are you thinking about?"
Ning Rongrong, eating her ice cream, saw Ye Chen in a daze and immediately asked.
"I'm thinking how beautiful my Rongrong is."
Although Ye Chen's emotional intelligence wasn't particularly high, he still had some, and he certainly wouldn't say he was thinking about other girls, otherwise Ning Rongrong would definitely explode.
"Get out of here, who's yours?"
A blush immediately appeared on Ning Rongrong's pretty face.
"Who else? Far in the sky, yet close at hand."
"You only say nice things! Oh right, becoming this young lady's boyfriend isn't that simple!"
"Oh? Then tell me, how is it not simple?"
"You have to buy me delicious food, buy me pretty clothes, you're not allowed to make me angry, you have to comfort me when I'm sad, you have to take care of me when I'm sick, I..."
The more Ning Rongrong spoke, the more Ye Chen felt something was off. It seemed he wasn't looking for a girlfriend, but a little ancestor?
"Mhm mhm, everything you say is right!"
Although it felt like he had found an ancestor, Ye Chen nodded and agreed to everything. Anyway, by then, it wouldn't be up to this little girl to decide.
There's a good saying: all rights of interpretation belong to this bank. Ye Chen also took a leaf from that book, meaning all demands would be decided by him.
"Very well, this young lady will reluctantly let you be my boyfriend~"
Listening to Ye Chen agree to everything, Ning Rongrong nodded with satisfaction.
"Oh right, Brother Chen, I'm still a Spirit Grandmaster. Hurry up and help me improve my strength!"
Recalling that Zhu Zhuqing had this treatment, Ning Rongrong felt she should have it too.
"Improve your strength? Can't you just cultivate properly?"
"Hmph, I know you have a way, otherwise Zhuqing wouldn't be a three-ring Spirit Elder by now!"
Ning Rongrong pouted.
Last time when Ye Chen and Zhu Zhuqing went to the Star Dou Great Forest, Zhu Zhuqing was only a Level 28 Spirit Grandmaster a few days prior. If Ye Chen hadn't helped her improve, how could she be about to add a spirit ring now?
Ning Rongrong firmly believed that Ye Chen definitely had a way.
However, what Ning Rongrong didn't know was that the current Zhu Zhuqing wasn't a three-ring Spirit Elder, but a Level 42 Spirit Ancestor.
After all, she had never heard of anyone being able to increase their spirit power by more than one major rank in just a few days.
"Let's talk about it when your spirit power reaches Level 28 Spirit Grandmaster. There's no rush now."
Ning Rongrong was currently only a Level 27 Spirit Grandmaster. Even if her first spirit ring and second spirit ring's age were increased to purple thousand-year, it would at most only increase her spirit power by two levels.
It would be better to wait until she became a Level 28 Spirit Grandmaster, and then directly advance to a Level 30 quasi-Spirit Elder by increasing the age of her spirit rings.
Currently, the only way Ye Chen could quickly increase Ning Rongrong's spirit power was by increasing the age of her spirit rings.
As for Immortal Herbs, after buying the youming immortal zhi for Zhu Zhuqing earlier, Ye Chen's personal fund balance was at rock bottom. Only a month or so had passed since then, so he couldn't afford an Immortal Herb worth a small fortune.
"Oh, you really do have a way!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong perked up. She hadn't expected that a casual remark would coax Ye Chen's little secret out of him.
"Yes, yes, I do have a way, but even if I boost you now, you can't directly add a third spirit ring. Let's wait until you're Level 28."
"Is that so? Alright then!"
"Oh right, I'll teach you some Cultivation Methods!"
After some thought, since Ning Rongrong was his girlfriend, Ye Chen decided her treatment should be on par with Xiao Wu and Da Mao Mi. He planned to teach Ning Rongrong his Creation Cultivation Method.
"Cultivation Methods? Cultivation Methods?"
Ning Rongrong was a bit confused.
"Something like that, but these are all ancestral Cultivation Methods of my Ye family, not ordinary Cultivation Methods.
The Cultivation Methods I'm about to pass on to you can improve spirit power, physical fitness, and mental force, respectively."
"Really?"
Ning Rongrong was a bit suspicious.
"It's true, but Rongrong, there's something we need to clarify first."
Ye Chen said with a serious expression.
"What?"
"Within ten years, or before I become a Titled Douluo, you cannot tell anyone the Cultivation Methods I teach you, not even my father-in-law."
Ye Chen knew that after Ning Rongrong experienced the effects of these Cultivation Methods, she might think about giving them to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had them, that wouldn't be a big deal. After all, Cultivation Methods are just Cultivation Methods; future achievements still depend on the person. But Ye Chen was afraid that people from Spirit Hall would get their hands on these Cultivation Methods.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had so many disciples, thousands of them. Ye Chen wouldn't believe it even if you beat him to death if there weren't spies planted by Spirit Hall.
Ye Chen believed that after switching to his Cultivation Methods, those Spirit Masters stuck at bottlenecks would have a very high chance of continuing to break through.
And Spirit Hall had numerous members; there must be quite a few Spirit Douluo stuck at the Level 89 bottleneck. It's possible that after obtaining the Cultivation Methods, it would lead to a surge of Titled Douluo experts within Spirit Hall.
Additionally, Ye Chen's biggest concern was Bibi Dong.
If Bibi Dong got her hands on his Cultivation Methods and became a Divinity prematurely, Ye Chen wouldn't be confident in being able to suppress her.
Although the Divinities in the Douluo World were somewhat weak in combat power, they were ultimately incomparable to a 99th level Titled Douluo.
Even if Ye Chen had a cheat, he wasn't confident that he, as a Titled Douluo, could withstand the divine force of a Divinity.
But once he became a Titled Douluo, with his super strong spirit ring and Spirit Bone configuration, Ye Chen was confident that without a Divinity appearing, he would be invincible, and then he wouldn't fear any accidents.
"That's natural. If the Cultivation Methods are effective, I definitely won't spread them, not even to my father."
In Ning Rongrong's view, this was normal. There were many Sect forces on the continent that never passed on their unique skills to outsiders.
