Ning Rongrong's Little Schemes

The story had two sides. On the other side, Yun Qi and Xiao Wu were also brought into the house by Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong to rest. Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were filled with concern as she looked at the unconscious man.

Ning Rongrong saw everything and couldn't help asking curiously:

"Your name is Zhu Zhuqing, right? Let's get acquainted again. I'm Ning Rongrong!"

Zhu Zhuqing shifted her gaze to Ning Rongrong, nodded slightly, and slowly said:

"Mm. Thank you for speaking up for me earlier."

Ning Rongrong spread her hands to show that she didn't mind, then asked Zhu Zhuqing with a curious look:

"Why are the three of you together?"

Zhu Zhuqing revealed a faint smile and lightly raised her red lips as she explained:

"Actually, Xiao Wu was the one who was with Yun Qi at the beginning. I came later. As for the reason... perhaps it was because he saved me when I was at my most desperate, giving me hope, and then gave me companionship when that hope was shattered!"

As Zhu Zhuqing spoke, she took out a handkerchief and began wiping Yun Qi's face. The tenderness in the eyes of this stunning woman, whose beauty could outshine the moon and flowers, seemed almost capable of melting Ning Rongrong herself. She couldn't help but sigh at Yun Qi's good fortune.

At the same time, Ning Rongrong curiously sized Yun Qi up. From the moment they first met, this man had given her an intense sense of familiarity, though she had no idea why. Yun Qi's powerful strength and handsome features also made Ning Rongrong's heart flutter.

However, after learning that Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu were both Yun Qi's confidantes, Ning Rongrong became curious. That was why she had asked Zhu Zhuqing about it just now. But after hearing the answer, she felt somewhat lost. Clearly, a storm of thoughts was raging in her mind. She didn't object to an expert having many women. After all, even her father had found her many stepmothers.

An expert's bloodline had to be passed down, and the same was true of a top-tier Martial Soul. The same applied to her. However, Ning Rongrong had excellent talent and was the youngest, so she had earned the love of the entire clan.

Ning Rongrong lightly tapped her own head and muttered to herself:

"He might not even like me yet. What am I doing pining after him?"

In fact, given Ning Rongrong's personality, anything she liked had to be snatched up. She could never share it exclusively with someone else. However, the sense of familiarity Yun Qi gave her always made Ning Rongrong feel at ease. Just looking at him filled her heart with tranquility.

When Yun Qi awoke from his unconsciousness, he opened his eyes only to find them blocked by two hills. Beneath his head was also something soft and slippery. His movements probably startled Zhu Zhuqing, who was cultivating. The Little Cat stopped meditating as well and lowered her head to look at Yun Qi. Mm... she hadn't been seen!

Perhaps this battle had also made Zhu Zhuqing realize the gap between herself, Yun Qi, and Xiao Wu. Watching the two of them fight while being unable to help at all, and having to withdraw far from the battlefield, had left the proud Zhu Zhuqing deeply discouraged. That was why she used her free time to cultivate. But she also wanted to stay by Yun Qi's side, so this was the result.

Yun Qi could also feel the Little Cat stopping her cultivation. Just as he sat up, the Little Cat with the two "balls" pressed him back down again!

"You're not healed yet. The physician came to take a look earlier. Your insides were shaken, and you suffered some injuries. You'll need to recuperate for a while!"

It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it. The moment she did, Yun Qi immediately felt a burning pain inside his body. It wasn't exactly pain, but rather a very uncomfortable sensation. Yun Qi looked inward and found that there was nothing seriously wrong. Only then did he relax before asking Zhu Zhuqing:

"Where's Xiao Wu? Is Xiao Wu all right?"

There was a rare trace of sourness in Zhu Zhuqing's words as she answered softly:

"Xiao Wu is right beside you. She's fine. Her injuries are much lighter than yours. The Martial Soul Fusion mainly affected your body. Xiao Wu only fainted because her soul power was exhausted."

Yun Qi heard the fluctuating tone in the Little Cat's voice and chuckled. He also turned toward her abdomen and blew gently, speaking in a slightly teasing tone:

"Then is my Little Cat all right? If you were seriously injured, I'd be heartbroken! I'd be so heartbroken that I wouldn't be able to sleep all night!"

The Little Cat felt the warm breeze against her abdomen and heard Yun Qi's words. Her face immediately flushed red.

"You're going to be the death of me!"

Yun Qi continued fooling around with Zhu Zhuqing. Perhaps he was too engrossed, because he completely failed to notice that Ning Rongrong's face had already turned crimson. Mm, he hadn't noticed her at all—he had completely forgotten she was there!

It wasn't until Ning Rongrong's breathing grew heavier that Yun Qi noticed her. He awkwardly scratched his head. Following Yun Qi's gaze, Zhu Zhuqing saw Ning Rongrong staring fixedly at the two of them. She simply closed her eyes and silently cultivated, though her bright-red ears exposed the Little Cat's true feelings.

Yun Qi looked at Ning Rongrong, who was accompanying Xiao Wu, and sincerely thanked her.

"Thank you for taking care of Xiao Wu!"

Ning Rongrong took several deep breaths, forcing the scene from moments ago out of her mind, before explaining to Yun Qi:

"I didn't take care of her. Zhu Qing did. I only sat beside her."

Yun Qi smiled and didn't take it to heart before continuing:

"Even so, I still have to thank you. Without your help at the end, we might have been beaten terribly by the enraged Teacher Zhao!"

At this, everyone in the room shuddered. They remembered Tang San, who looked so ordinary. It was because of him that Zhao Wuji had been enraged to that extent! That kid had specifically targeted a man's weak point!

Zhu Zhuqing was also furious. If not for that thing, Yun Qi and the others might not have been injured at all!

Mm, Yun Qi would have been delighted if he knew. Yun Qi was the kind of person who ignored all rules. He could apply a double standard to his own people, but he wouldn't allow others to do the same.

Thinking of Tang San, Yun Qi hurriedly summoned the panel that only he could see. Looking at the mission-completed notification, he immediately put the spoils he had extorted from Tang San and Zhao Wuji to use. Yun Qi focused his thoughts and sensed more than twenty thousand Dragon Beard Needles appear inside his ring. The Year Limit of his Spirit Ring was also directly increased. In the blink of an eye, Yun Qi had completed everything.

As the Year Limit of his First Spirit Ring increased, the purple on it grew deeper and richer. Yun Qi's Soul Power Level also broke through to Level 44. With his battle experience and the soul power that had appeared out of nowhere, the breakthrough came naturally.

However, the Little Cat and Ning Rongrong, who had never witnessed anything like this before, were left dumbfounded. How had someone broken through while simply chatting? This made no sense!

Seeing their expressions, Yun Qi didn't explain much. He simply said that his talent was excellent and there was nothing he could do about it, once again earning the envious gazes of the Two Girls.

Yun Qi didn't let it go to his head. This battle had shown him that he was still far from being a match for a Spirit Sage. That was even with Zhao Wuji desperately restraining himself. If he hadn't held back, Yun Qi would have been clearing weeds from his grave on this day next year!

Not long after, Xiao Wu also woke up in a daze. She looked at Yun Qi somewhat weakly. She had emerged from Yun Qi's body after he received the attack, and the only thing she remembered before fainting was the two of them falling from the sky together.

Under Xiao Wu's worried gaze, Yun Qi assured her that he was fine and only needed to recuperate for a while. Only then did Xiao Wu relax.

Couldn't find it by searching the book title? Try searching for the author instead. Perhaps it was simply renamed!
