"What? You killed someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
Ning Rongrong's expression changed drastically. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was one of the Upper Three Sects and held the same lofty status as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"He dared to come looking for trouble with me, so he had to die. If you don't pull out the roots, they'll grow back when the spring wind blows. You'll understand that sooner or later."
Ning Rongrong had never expected that just after the three of them finished packing and came out, they would hear such explosive news as they were about to leave.
"We need to hurry back to Spirit Hall now. Otherwise, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will never let me off. We need to leave quickly."
Ning Rongrong said, "All you know is how to cause trouble. Now look what's happened. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan isn't easy to deal with. They're extremely petty, and they definitely won't let this go."
"Good that you know. But there's no need for you to be so nervous. I don't believe they'd dare openly make a move against me."
Xiao Wu nodded as well and said, "Brother, even so, there's always the chance of something unexpected. Leaving first is the best choice."
The group quickly used their Flying Soul Tools to leave Suotuo City and head toward Spirit City.
Spirit City belonged to neither any clan nor empire. It was a city that belonged solely to Spirit Hall.
It could be said that even if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan wanted to make a move in Spirit City, it would not be easy.
The group moved extremely fast. Meanwhile, Yu Tianheng, who had witnessed everything, was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that his uncle, a powerhouse among Titled Douluo, would end up like this. How old was that Bai Ying? He had actually killed a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse.
This matter had to be reported to the clan as soon as possible. If Bai Ying had not shown mercy back then, he might already have become a soul beneath Bai Ying's blade.
Just thinking about it made cold sweat pour down Yu Tianheng's back.
A few days later, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu arrived south of the Heaven Dou Empire. They were still some distance away from Spirit City.
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with your body?"
"I'm fine, Brother. My legs are just a little sore. It's nothing."
"And I'm a little hungry. We haven't rested properly these past few days. Most of our time has been spent traveling."
Ning Rongrong also said, "I'm a support-system Soul Master. My stamina is naturally much weaker than yours. Even with the help of Soul Tools, mental fatigue still comes easily."
"Besides, we're mostly in the wilderness now. There's nowhere to stay at all. I really want to rest for a while."
"Alright. It's already getting late, so let's rest properly. It's also a good chance to let you see the second form of my Qiankun Cover."
Then, under the gazes of the three girls,
Bai Ying smiled faintly and flipped his palm. A spherical Soul Tool that glimmered with a soft light appeared in his hand. It was the Qiankun Cover.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Bai Ying gently pressed a mechanism on the Soul Tool. The seemingly ordinary spherical Qiankun Cover instantly unfolded, turning into a streak of light before abruptly transforming into an exquisite little house.
The small house possessed an ancient elegance, its main color a pale gold. A faint halo surrounded it, giving it a tranquil yet mysterious feeling. Exquisite patterns were carved into the roof, as if telling ancient stories.
Ning Rongrong watched the scene, a flash of amazement crossing her eyes. She exclaimed, "That's incredible. This is the first time I've seen a Soul Tool that can turn into a house."
The group entered one after another. Although the house did not look large from the outside, the interior was unexpectedly spacious. Refined furnishings, soft beds, warm lighting, even a small kitchen and bathroom—it had everything, like a tiny home that could travel with them.
Bai Ying smiled softly. "Although this Qiankun Cover isn't particularly strong in offense or defense, its concealment and comfort are first-rate. It has an Invisibility function. Unless someone has extremely powerful spiritual strength, they won't be able to discover us at all."
Xiao Wu looked around curiously and exclaimed, "This is really amazing, Brother. You're incredible to have gotten such a great Soul Tool."
Bai Ying shook his head slightly, a gentle smile on his face. "It's nothing. Soul Tools exist to make our lives more convenient. Everyone has truly been tired from traveling these past few days. Let me help you relax properly."
As he spoke, he gestured for the three girls to sit on the soft beds. He then walked over to Xiao Wu, gently extending his hand and placing it lightly on her foot.
A trace of surprise flashed across Xiao Wu's face, followed by a faint blush. She asked softly, "Brother, do you really know how to massage feet?"
Bai Ying smiled faintly without speaking. His movements only became gentler. His palm was warm and strong, as if it could drive away all exhaustion.
Xiao Wu could feel a comfortable sensation spreading through her body, as though a warm current flowed from her toes to her entire body, carrying away the fatigue of the past several days. Bai Ying's technique was practiced and gentle, like that of an experienced masseur.
Suddenly, Bai Ying's fingers lightly touched her calf, where the skin was as smooth and delicate as jade. Bai Ying paused slightly, seemingly drawn in by that jade-like sensation. His fingers gently rubbed there, as though appreciating a rare treasure.
"Damn, this feels incredible. I really wish I could have it right now."
As his pressure increased, Xiao Wu's face grew redder and redder, and unusual sounds occasionally slipped from her lips.
The sounds caused Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's expressions to change. If they had not been there to witness it themselves, they might have thought Xiao Wu and Bai Ying were doing something improper.
"Xiao Wu, how do you feel?"
"I feel really good..." Xiao Wu replied vaguely.
Although Xiao Wu's face was flushed red, she was clearly enjoying herself immensely.
This strange sight made Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong look somewhat awkward.
"Don't worry. All three of you will get your turn."
The two of them knew what kind of person Bai Ying was, and both had already become women. Such things were no longer unfamiliar to them.
They only hesitated briefly before finally agreeing.
Xiao Wu felt as though a gentle breeze had swept over her body, stretching every cell. Bai Ying's massage technique was professional and meticulous, as though he could touch the deepest, most exhausted parts of her body. She slowly closed her eyes and enjoyed this rare comfort and relaxation.
"Xiao Wu, do you feel better?" Bai Ying asked softly, his voice full of concern and tenderness.
Xiao Wu nodded. When she opened her eyes and looked at Bai Ying, there was a trace of gratitude and dependence in her gaze. "Brother, I feel much better now. Thank you."
Her voice was a little hoarse, yet it carried an indescribable softness. Bai Ying smiled faintly, withdrew his hand, and sat back on the bedside. "As long as you're fine. These past few days of traveling have indeed been hard on you."
"Alright, second up. Rongrong, your turn?"
Ning Rongrong lay down on the soft bed, and Bai Ying carefully placed her delicate feet in his hands. At first, she felt a little uneasy. After all, being massaged like this was still quite new to her. Her toes curled slightly, and her skin looked as delicate as jade beneath the lamplight.
Bai Ying's fingertips gently brushed across the top of her foot, bringing a tingling sensation. He first lightly kneaded her sole, then gently tapped it with his knuckles, as though awakening every cell in her feet.
Ning Rongrong felt a warm current rise from the soles of her feet and gradually spread throughout her body. Bai Ying's technique became increasingly skillful. His fingertips moved between her toes, sometimes pressing lightly, sometimes rubbing gently. Ning Rongrong unconsciously relaxed, feeling as though she were floating among clouds, all her fatigue swept away.
"How is it? Does it feel good?"
Bai Ying spoke as he watched Ning Rongrong's thoroughly pleased expression.
"It feels good. It feels absolutely amazing."
The third to take her turn was Zhu Zhuqing. She had always been calm and reserved. At first, she sat at the edge of the bed with her head slightly lowered, seeming somewhat embarrassed. But once Bai Ying began massaging her, her expression started to change.
Bai Ying's hand lightly touched the top of her foot, and she felt a faint numbness. His fingertips moved between her toes, sometimes pinching gently, sometimes brushing softly. Her body gradually relaxed, as though wrapped in a warm current.
Under Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu's gazes, Zhu Zhuqing's change was especially striking. The calm and self-controlled girl seemed like a completely different person now.
Her expression became dreamy and alluring, her eyes half-closed as though she were enjoying this rare relaxation. Her breathing gradually quickened, and an enticing curve unconsciously appeared at the corners of her lips. The sounds from her mouth were faint, yet full of allure, making one's imagination run wild.
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu sat on the bed, watching Zhu Zhuqing's changes, unable to stop an unusual feeling from rising within them. They had never seen Zhu Zhuqing like this before. That alluring, dreamy expression seemed to have completely released what was inside her.
Zhu Zhuqing's legs trembled slightly, as though she were enduring some indescribable pleasure. Her toes curled as if enjoying Bai Ying's massage. Her breathing gradually grew heavier, as though responding to the rhythm of Bai Ying's movements.
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing let out a soft moan. Her body jolted violently, as though stirred by some intense sensation. Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu watched the scene, surprise and curiosity flashing through their eyes. They could not help imagining how Zhu Zhuqing felt at that moment, that unprecedented relaxation and delight.
After an unknown amount of time,
"Alright, you girls sit for a while. I'll go prepare something for you to eat."
After Bai Ying left, the other two looked at Zhu Zhuqing with unusual expressions.
Zhu Zhuqing's face reddened, and she said awkwardly, "What are you two looking at me for?"
Ning Rongrong giggled. "I never expected you to look so cold and distant, Zhu Qing. When you relax, you're completely different."
They had both seen it with their own eyes. The sounds Zhu Zhuqing had made had reached Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's ears, making both their bodies react as though they were burning with fire.
"You two are so annoying."
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's embarrassed and annoyed appearance, Ning Rongrong could not help laughing softly. She stretched out her arms and gently pulled Zhu Zhuqing into her embrace, saying tenderly, "Zhu Qing, don't be so shy. We're all women. What's there to be embarrassed about? Your reaction just now was actually perfectly normal. We can all understand."
Zhu Zhuqing became even more embarrassed by Ning Rongrong's words. She struggled free from Ning Rongrong's embrace and said with a red face, "Stop talking about it. I... I'm really embarrassed."
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's bashful appearance, Xiao Wu could not help covering her mouth and snickering. She walked over to Zhu Zhuqing, gently patted her shoulder, and said, "Zhu Qing, don't worry. We won't laugh at you. Actually, Rongrong and I had pretty strong reactions too. We're just better at controlling our emotions."
Zhu Zhuqing truly wished she could find a hole in the ground and crawl into it. Her cheeks felt as though they were on fire, and her heart was full of embarrassment and helplessness. She had always thought of herself as calm and reserved, yet under Bai Ying's massage today, she had revealed such an alluring side of herself. She found it difficult to accept.
Just then, Xiao Wu suddenly turned the subject toward Ning Rongrong. "Rongrong, your reaction wasn't small either, was it?"
Ning Rongrong's face reddened as she glared at Xiao Wu. "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't!"
Xiao Wu smiled slightly and said indifferently, "Don't be shy. We're all women, so what's there to be embarrassed about? Just now, Zhu Qing's reaction was one thing, but your reaction wasn't small either. I saw it all."
"By the way, what do you think about going to Spirit Hall?"
"What is there to think about? Haven't we already made our decision?"
Ning Rongrong suddenly said, "That's true. Since we're all so familiar with one another now, why don't we talk about something interesting, like where we come from?"
"I'll go first." Ning Rongrong stood up and said, "I'm from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"What about you, Zhu Qing? Where are you from? I've always wanted to ask you back when we were at the academy. You and Dai Mubai seemed like you already knew each other."
"Were you two close before?"
Ning Rongrong was extremely clever and went straight to the heart of the matter.
Zhu Zhuqing sighed softly, then said frankly, "Dai Mubai and I used to be engaged. But I've already severed all ties with him. I come from the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Royal Aristocracy."
"Oh my god. I once heard Father mention the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire. That's the most powerful family in the Star Luo Empire. Every generation of the royal family marries someone from the Zhu Family to secure the status of both sides. No wonder you hate Dai Mubai so much."
Hearing that, Zhu Zhuqing seemed somewhat nostalgic. She said, "That's all in the past."
"What about you, Xiao Wu?" Zhu Zhuqing suddenly asked. "You haven't said where you're from yet."
As soon as those words were spoken, Ning Rongrong became extremely curious as well.
When Xiao Wu heard that, she immediately became somewhat sorrowful.
