Still Likes Rongrong? Dugu Bo's Little Scheme [4K]

"Ah?"

"Rongrong, I don't understand what you mean..."

Zhu Zhuqing looked bewildered. What did she mean by "the relationship has reached this point"? Wasn't this just about food?

This is food that Wulin gave himself.

Could there be something fishy going on here?

"Ahem, Zhu Zhuqing, this is what it's for... to enhance your abilities in that area..."

"It's not just for boys, girls are the same, it's just that the boost isn't as great as for boys..."

"I mean... do you understand now?"

Ning Rongrong blinked, her face already flushed slightly, but she still spoke frankly.

She could tell that Zhu Zhuqing didn't understand anything... so she, as her good friend, would guide her out of her predicament!

So that's why.

"Brother Tang hopes you can be in even better shape; otherwise, you simply can't withstand her..."

In the end, even she couldn't hold back anymore; her beautiful eyes were filled with shyness—it was truly embarrassing.

I never expected Brother Tang to send this!

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing's face had already turned red while listening to Ning Rongrong's story, and when Ning Rongrong finished speaking, she was completely stunned and speechless.

"Ah?"

"Really?"

When she came to her senses, a blush had already appeared on her face, and she hesitated to speak.

The purpose of eating this is actually this? Could Wulin really be trying to... make him...?

At that moment, she felt deeply ashamed and couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling completely at a loss.

"Uh-huh!"

"I can't remember wrong."

Ning Rongrong said firmly that a romance novel she had read mentioned that Whale Rubber had a strengthening effect.

Even if Brother Tang isn't in a hurry, judging from the current situation, he's still worried that Zhu Zhuqing won't be able to defend herself later...

"Brother Tang is quite considerate."

She couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Wrong!"

"Rongrong, are you really sure...?"

On the other side, Zhu Zhuqing found it difficult to calm herself down, looking at the other person in front of her with a silent expression.

If it really did have some kind of positive effect, she wouldn't really think much of it, since she knew she and Brother Tang would eventually meet again. But...

Wulin isn't just feeding himself!

Rongrong is the same!

"I'm sure, I'm absolutely sure."

Ning Rongrong nodded seriously, and as she spoke, she took out a novel from her Soul Tool and, relying on her memory, turned to the chapter about Whale Rubber.

"Look."

"This chapter explains the benefits of Whale Rubber to the human body, and the male protagonist White Emperor, went from being listless to regaining his virility..."

As Ning Rongrong spoke, her face flushed red, clearly embarrassed to continue.

"But..."

"Wulin gave us one each."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at her, finding it difficult to speak.

She can eat it, no problem... but what about Rongrong?

"..."

"Ah?"

Now it was Ning Rongrong fell silent, looking at the other person in front of her with a blank expression on her face.

"I..."

"You want some too!?"

She pointed to herself, as if she had heard something utterly unbelievable, and then her blood rushed to her head, leaving her mind blank.

"Um..."

"Wulin said we should each have one."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded silently, handed a piece of Whale Rubber to the other person, her face full of indescribable emotions.

Is this really true?

"I..."

The girl beside him remained silent for Jiujiu, until a moment later, she seemed to realize something and suddenly froze.

"Zhu Zhuqing, I have an idea in my mind, but I don't know if you can accept it..."

Ning Rongrong took a deep breath, her face also flushing red, but she still spoke.

"You say."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at her with curiosity on her face.

"That is..."

"Does Brother Tang like me too?"

Ning Rongrong carefully took the Whale Rubber handed to her, and asked excitedly, unable to hide her excitement.

What does it mean that Brother Tang let her eat...?

She will definitely play a part in any major battle.

Thinking of this, her face flushed even more with embarrassment. How could Brother Tang be so naughty?

"Rongrong, why do you say that?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing immediately became unhappy and frowned.

"Zhu Zhuqing, think about it. If it weren't for this, I can't imagine... why Brother Tang would make me eat this."

Ning Rongrong took a deep breath, her face flushed, and said that she knew Zhu Zhuqing would also find it hard to accept, but...

That's just how it is!

Perhaps Brother Tang also has feelings for me!

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly and remained silent, as if something was amiss. But Wulin's insistence on Rongrong eating it was itself quite wrong!

Could it really be as Rongrong said...?

No, that's not it!

"Mine, Wulin is mine."

Seeing that she herself was beginning to agree with this viewpoint, Zhu Zhuqing quickly shook her head, a serious expression appearing on her beautiful face.

Wulin is not that kind of person!

That's her boyfriend, her future husband!

"I know Zhu Zhuqing, but..."

"It could be ours too."

Ning Rongrong blinked, placed the Whale Rubber on the table, and then stepped forward to hug the other person's arm, her eyes shining brightly.

"Can't--"

Zhu Zhuqing's face fell, her eyes clearly showing reluctance, and her expression full of wariness...

I don't want to share Wulin!

Even if she never eats, never sleeps, and never cultivates for the rest of her life, she would never give Wulin away...

Thinking this, she pulled her arm back and quickly ran back to her bedroom.

"Zhu Zhuqing ran away."

Seeing the other person jog away, Ning Rongrong blinked, silently put away the Whale Rubber, and muttered to herself again:

"Brother Tang is really going too far. He has Zhu Zhuqing but still thinks about me. Luckily, I think about him too..."

"..."

Inside the bedroom, sitting on her bed, Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face was sullen, her heart filled with complicated emotions.

Her mood today was truly full of ups and downs.

Whether it was Rongrong kissing Wulin, confirming her relationship with Wulin, or the situation with the Whale Rubber, all of these things greatly affected her mood.

She just started dating Wulin.

Rongrong must be mistaken, she must be!

"This..."

"It's not something that can't be said!"

With this thought in mind, Zhu Zhuqing calmed her emotions, looked at the Whale Rubber in her hand, ate it in small bites, and then began to refine the energy within.

She wants to become stronger, incredibly strong!

The things Wulin gave him must be of greater help!

"Call..."

"The Whale Rubber that Brother Tang gave me."

In the next room, Ning Rongrong looked at the Whale Rubber in her hand, her face flushed, and muttered to herself.

Is she eating, or is she eating?

However, this was clearly not a difficult decision for her. Before long, she, like Zhu Zhuqing, sat cross-legged on the bed and began to digest the energy of the Whale Rubber.

"..."

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin, the instigator, had already returned to his room.

He clearly had no idea that his well-intentioned act of helping the two increase the Soul Ring Age would turn out like this; otherwise, he would have definitely said something...

That's easy to overthink.

"Call..."

"What a nice day!"

Recalling his feelings from before tonight, Tang Wulin couldn't help but smile, muttering to himself.

Zhu Zhuqing is so cute!

Thinking about this, he quickly sat cross-legged on the bed and began his cultivation for the day.

After all, although he didn't absorb the Fifth Soul Ring to break through the bottleneck, his current cultivation progress wouldn't affect the increase in Soul Power at all.

Being Soul King wouldn't satisfy him; at the very least, he needed the strength to protect the girls...

Grandpa, you're already level 96?!

Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Dugu Yan stared wide-eyed at her grandfather, her face filled with shock.

The commotion during the day was indeed made by Grandpa!

She just hadn't expected her grandfather's improvement to be so significant. You have to understand, at the Titled Douluo level, the difference between each level is like heaven and earth...

Grandpa once told her that her limit in this lifetime was only level 93 or 94, but who would have thought that now...

"Hehe, yes, Yan Yan."

"It's all thanks to Your Highness's help."

With a respectful expression, Dugu Bo glanced instinctively in Tang Wulin's direction and said with a smile.

Even he himself never imagined he would end up like this. The originally deadly poison had transformed into Soul Power. Without His Highness, he wouldn't be who he is today.

"Your His Highness Wulin..."

"It really helped us a lot."

Dugu Yan's face showed agreement as she murmured, "I really must try my best to repay this kindness."

"Grandpa, I won't say any more. I'm going back to cultivate; I still need to try and catch up with His Highness's progress!"

After uttering those words, she immediately headed towards her room.

Even if she absorbs the Immortal Herb, what good will it do if she doesn't work hard? With her talent...

They don't even have the right to follow in His Highness's footsteps!

"Yan Yan..."

Watching her granddaughter's departing figure, Dugu Yan was taken aback. Although she acknowledged the girl's ambition, she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

As the grandfather, how could he not know whether his granddaughter had feelings for His Highness? However...

Recalling the public display of affection he'd witnessed in Heaven Dou City, Dugu Bo fell silent for a moment, then pondered, "Such an outstanding genius as His Highness surely has more than one wife..."

Perhaps, Yan Yan also has a chance!

"On another note."

"Perhaps it's time to take Yan Yan away from Heaven Dou City. At the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Yan Yan still won't receive a very good upbringing."

"Spirit Hall Academy is the best choice."

Soon, something else came to Dugu Bo's mind, and he had an idea in mind: let Yan Yan return to the Spirit Hall, and who knows, she might even become a member of the Spirit Hall Team.

"..."

"Your His Highness Wulin, it's time to eat."

The next day, early in the morning, while Tang Wulin was still Meditation, he smelled the aroma of food coming from the courtyard.

As Dugu Yan called out, when he stepped out of the room, he saw Dugu Bo, who looked like a master chef.

"Your Highness, please try my cooking."

Upon seeing his appearance, Dugu Bo immediately greeted him respectfully.

"Okay."

"Sister Yanyan mentioned to me before that Elder Venom is quite skilled at cooking, and I didn't expect it to be true."

Tang Wulin smiled and responded, then sat down and remarked with emotion.

"Hehe, no, no."

"I only know a little bit."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was immediately flattered and replied that he was merely an old fellow with a few skills in cooking.

"Grandpa isn't just someone who knows a little bit about things."

"Grandpa is amazing! If there were a ranking of chefs in Heaven Dou City, Grandpa would definitely be the best!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan smiled and spoke up for the other party, making Dugu Bo speechless.

Yan Yan probably doesn't think that being the head chef is such a great honor!

As the top general under the Spirit Hall Holy Son, Dugu Bo could not afford to do anything that would embarrass him.

"By the way, Yan Yan, you should go to the Heaven Dou Academy to complete the withdrawal procedures. After a while, Grandpa will take you to the Spirit Hall Academy."

Dugu Bo quickly regained his senses and said slowly.

"Um?"

"Grandpa, are we going back to Spirit City?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's face instantly lit up with anticipation, and her tone became excited.

She didn't know if she would be able to see His Highness Wulin every day at the Spirit Hall Academy, but she knew she would have more chances than she would in Heaven Dou City.

No, it's you who went to Yan Yan.

"Grandpa still wants to settle down in Heaven Dou City; there are things here that need my care."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo smiled and shook his head. He couldn't just go back to Spirit City like this. After all, there was still His Highness's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the Sunset Forest Heaven Dou City!

He still has to be responsible for guarding that precious land.

"All right."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan could only nod in agreement.

"Will Lingling and Grandma Ye be going together too?"

At this moment, Dugu Yan suddenly thought of something and said with anticipation on her face.

"Sister Yanyan, the Ye Family wasn't highly regarded in Heaven Dou City to begin with, and they'll be returning to Spirit City together anyway."

"However, before that, we still need to wait for Senior Ye and me to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for Soul Rings."

At this moment, Tang Wulin said with a smile.

The Ye Family also didn't have much of a claim to Heaven Dou City; their ties would be completely severed afterward.

"Yay!"

"Then let's go tell Lingling and the others."

A glint of anticipation flickered in Dugu Yan's eyes. So, when she was in Spirit City, Lingling would also be there to keep her company. How wonderful.

However, it seems that having Lingling around also has some downsides, such as the other party wanting to repay her with their body...

"That's fine too. It would be good to call Senior Ye over in advance."

Tang Wulin nodded. After Zhu Zhuqing Rongrong finished absorbing the effects of the Whale Rubber, he would head to the Star Dou Great Forest.

As for Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, even if they are not in Heaven Dou City, they can wait for their return at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Grandpa, I'm going out with His Highness."

After a while, Dugu Yan looked at her grandfather's seat and said slowly.

Beside him, Tang Wulin also smiled and looked in Dugu Bo's direction. At that moment, the latter instantly understood.

"Good."

"Your Highness, I will take you there immediately."

Dugu Bo waved his hand and said with a smile.

Not long after, Tang Wulin and Dugu Yan appeared on the streets of Heaven Dou City.

Whether intentionally to give the two a chance to spend time together or not, he did not escort them directly to the Ye Family's door, but rather placed them at a distance.

Hehehe.

"I am so loyal to Your Highness, what's wrong with creating some opportunities for my granddaughter Yan Yan?"

Even if Senior Golden Crocodile were here, he would definitely think that what I did was very appropriate.

Dugu Bo wore a handsome smile as he thought to himself.

Senior Golden Crocodile will definitely support him!

"..."

P. S.: Still 4K combined, but this is an update in the morning. Wow, Wuhu!
