Chapter 126: Rongrong Receives a New Soul Bone.
Dugu Bo appeared, patting non-existent dust off his hands, looking displeased.
"Hmph, that little bug that plays with mental energy is even better at hiding than I thought."
Ye Xuanming stood up and went to greet him.
"Thank you for your trouble, Grandpa."
Don't give me that.
Dugu Bo rummaged through his soul tool with annoyance and casually tossed something over.
"Here you go, this is what you wanted."
Ye Xuanming reached out and caught it.
It was a skull that was entirely sapphire blue, displaying a rainbow-colored luster.
The Skull of Wisdom in the Illusion.
"Where is that guy named Shi Nian?" Ye Xuanming asked.
"If I were to take action, would there be any survivors?"
Dugu Bo rolled his eyes.
"His martial spirit domain is indeed quite impressive, but in front of my Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison, all illusions are just that—illusions."
Dugu Bo waved his hand, looking like he was too lazy to bring it up again.
"I've given you the stuff; how you handle it is up to you."
"You gave the previous soul bone to Yanzi, you can't just give this one away too, can you?"
After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he added another sentence.
"Oh, no, you said this piece was for that little girl Ning Rongrong."
"You rascal, you don't show favoritism to any of the girls around you."
Dugu Bo shook his head, his figure flickered, and he disappeared again as a green shadow.
"I'm going back to sleep, don't bother me."
Only his last low mutter remained in the air.
"So young, and already a doting husband, what a loser..."
Holding the precious, gem-like soul bone, Ye Xuanming couldn't help but chuckle.
He carefully put away the soul bone, then pushed open the door and walked out of the study.
Night had fallen, but lights were still on in the courtyard on the other side of the estate.
That was the small building where Ning Rongrong and the others lived.
Ye Xuanming strolled over, and before he even got close, he heard laughter coming from inside.
He pushed open the door.
Inside the room, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling were sitting together, chatting about something, each with a smile on their face.
The laughter of the three girls stopped abruptly when Ye Xuanming entered.
"Brother Xuanming, what brings you here?" Ning Rongrong was the first to react, jumping off the soft couch and rushing to his side.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling also stood up and looked at him.
"Are you done with your work?" Dugu Yan asked.
Ye Xuanming nodded without saying anything more. With a flick of his wrist, the Illusionary Wisdom Skull appeared in his palm.
The sapphire blue light instantly illuminated the entire room.
The strange mental fluctuations brought a sense of clarity to all three women.
"This is…" Dugu Yan's breath hitched.
As the granddaughter of a titled Douluo, she was extremely familiar with this thing.
Ning Rongrong opened her beautiful peach blossom eyes wide with curiosity, stretched out her finger, and carefully poked the crystal skull.
Wow, what beautiful stones!
Ye Xuanming was amused by her.
He took Ning Rongrong's hand and placed the soul bone in her palm.
"Rongrong, this is a gift for you."
Ning Rongrong's face froze for a moment, then, as if she had thought of something, her body jolted.
She held the skull in her hands, her voice trembling.
"Brother Xuanming, this...this is a soul bone!"
Ning Rongrong's exclamation was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.
Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, and her hands, holding the jewel-like skull, shook gently.
Ye Xuanming found her appearance somewhat amusing.
"Hmm, it's just a soul bone, it shouldn't cause such a big reaction."
Ye Xuanming explained it casually:
"This is a loot I seized while dealing with a foolish bandit. It's a head bone with a spiritual attribute, which is perfect for you."
"Spoils of war?"
Dugu Yan immediately seized the opportunity. She moved closer, her long, dark green hair brushing against Ye Xuanming's shoulder.
"Could it be the piece that was stolen from the Heavenly Dou Auction House?"
"Um."
Ye Xuanming nodded, "Grandpa Dugu made the move, and it went very smoothly."
He didn't go into details, but both Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong knew that behind the word "smooth" was the ruthless methods of a titled Douluo.
Ning Rongrong held the soul bone like a precious treasure, her little face full of undisguised joy; she almost jumped up.
This is a soul bone!
It's the rarest head-shaped soul bone!
Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School doesn't have many in its inventory, and their attributes might not be compatible.
Ning Rongrong was having a good time, but suddenly stopped and subconsciously looked at Ye Lingling, who was standing quietly beside her.
Dugu Yan already had a soul bone, and now I have one too.
What about Sister Lingling?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Ning Rongrong's ecstasy subsided considerably.
She pursed her lips and handed the soul bone to Ye Xuanming.
"Brother Xuanming, let's give this soul bone to Sister Lingling first."
Upon hearing this, not only Ye Xuanming, but even Dugu Yan looked at Ning Rongrong with some surprise.
They all knew Ning Rongrong's personality; for her to voluntarily give up such a treasure was unlike her usual self.
Ning Rongrong blushed a little from their stares, snorted, and turned her head away.
"I...I just feel that Sister Lingling has always taken care of us and never competed for anything. I can't be so selfish!"
Ning Rongrong's voice grew softer and softer, but her attitude remained resolute.
Hearing this, Ye Lingling felt a warm current surge in her heart.
She quickly waved her hand and said softly, "Rongrong, this is from Xuanming, I can't accept it."
Ye Xuanming stepped forward, but instead of taking the soul bone, he walked to Ye Lingling's side and gently pulled her into his arms.
The hug made Ye Lingling stiffen slightly, but she immediately relaxed and leaned against his chest.
"Sister Lingling, this soul bone's attributes are not suitable for you."
Ye Xuanming lowered his head and whispered in Ye Lingling's ear.
"When this Soul Master Competition ends, the champion's reward will include a head soul bone. I'll bring it to you then."
Ye Xuanming's words sounded like a promise, and even more like a fact that was bound to come true.
Ye Lingling raised her head, her long light blue hair falling down, and she shook her head.
"Xuanming, you don't need to do anything special for me…"
Before Ye Lingling could finish speaking, Ye Xuanming lowered his head.
Warm lips pressed against hers, silencing her from saying anything more.
The kiss was gentle, yet possessed an undeniable domineering force.
Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan, who were standing to the side, were both stunned.
Ning Rongrong's face turned bright red, and she covered her mouth, unsure whether to be shy or jealous.
Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow, then crossed her arms and watched the show as if she were used to it.
After the kiss ended, Ye Lingling's cheeks were flushed with a beautiful blush. She leaned against Ye Xuanming's chest, not daring to lift her head again.
Ye Xuanming stroked her long hair before looking at Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan.
"Sister Lingling is always like this, always thinking of us first."
Ning Rongrong also spoke up:
"That's right! Sister Lingling, you're just too easy to talk to!"
