Netherworld Evil Cat

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes and pretended to be angry. "You think I don't know? Just look at that lecherous expression of yours. I'd say you've taken a liking to Shui Bing'er!"

Having had his thoughts exposed by Ning Rongrong, Bai Ying did not bother hiding them. He nodded naturally and shamelessly said, "Rongrong, just help me out. You have to think of a way to give us a chance to be alone together."

Seeing how eager Bai Ying looked, Ning Rongrong found it amusing, though she put on a serious expression as she thought it over. Her eyes shifted, and a plan came to mind. A mischievous smile curved her lips.

"Fine, I'll help you." Ning Rongrong finally spoke, leaning close to Bai Ying and whispering mysteriously, "I have a plan that can give you and Shui Bing'er a chance to be alone..."

"Really? Rongrong, you're the best!" Bai Ying was so excited he nearly jumped up, grabbing Ning Rongrong's hand.

Ning Rongrong blinked slyly and said softly, "Of course, but you have to follow my plan. There can't be any mistakes."

Bai Ying nodded repeatedly and asked eagerly, "Tell me, what should I do?"

Ning Rongrong smiled faintly and said gently, "Isn't Shui Bing'er injured? Use the chance to treat her wounds, and then the two of you can be alone together."

Bai Ying smacked his forehead, suddenly enlightened. "That's right! How did I not think of that? Rongrong, you're so smart!"

As Bai Ying spoke, he looked at Ning Rongrong. It had to be said that although Ning Rongrong was a little witch with a rather bad temper, when it came to intelligence and wit, she was the most outstanding among Shrek's three goddesses.

Perhaps it had something to do with her upbringing. After all, she had been born into an aristocratic family, and nobles generally understood how to handle interpersonal relationships better than ordinary people.

"Rongrong, guess how I'm going to reward you?"

Ning Rongrong's expression changed. She abruptly retreated several steps, her face slightly flushed as she said, "Enough. I came to tell you that something happened on Zhuqing's side. You need to go take a look."

"Zhuqing? Something happened to her? I'll go check right now."

When he arrived at Zhu Zhuqing's room, Zhu Zhuqing was currently absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Ring.

Although this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had only cultivated for a thousand years, its strength could even contend with a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.

"Zhuqing, what happened to you?"

When Zhu Zhuqing saw Bai Ying arrive, she said, "Nothing happened. It's just that a pearl formed on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse."

"A pearl? Let me see it."

Zhu Zhuqing handed over the pearl. The moment Bai Ying held it in his hand, he suddenly recalled that the original Douluo Continent story had mentioned it before. This was the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Life Pearl. Every Dark Demon Evil God Tiger possessed one, and it contained all of their abilities.

"This is its Life Pearl? Zhuqing, circulate your Soul Power and absorb this pearl, quickly. This is an enormous opportunity for you."

Seeing how serious Bai Ying was, Zhu Zhuqing immediately sat down and began absorbing the pearl.

Bai Ying stared at Zhu Zhuqing nervously, his palms faintly sweating. He knew that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Life Pearl contained an extremely evil power. If Zhu Zhuqing could not endure it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing's body was shrouded in a dense mist. Her features became indistinct, as if she had been swallowed by endless darkness. Bai Ying's heart clenched as he felt the surging power within Zhu Zhuqing's body. It was the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Life Pearl taking effect.

Within the dense mist, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have entered another world, one filled with evil and darkness. Yet she did not retreat. Instead, she resolutely endured the impact of that power. Her body trembled, but her gaze remained exceptionally firm, as though an unyielding force supported her.

Meanwhile, Shui Bing'er had already been brought to Ning Rongrong's room by Ning Rongrong.

"My name is Ning Rongrong. I'm from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Don't worry, I'm not a bad person."

Shui Bing'er sat by the bedside, looking somewhat uneasy. Ning Rongrong found it amusing, but her face was filled with concern as she said, "Shui Bing'er, you really don't need to be so reserved. He may look a little lecherous sometimes, but he actually has a kind heart and knows how to take care of people. You're injured, so of course he'll be concerned about you."

Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Shui Bing'er felt warmth in her heart, and the tension on her face eased considerably. She looked up at Ning Rongrong, gratitude shining in her eyes. "Ning Rongrong, thank you. I'm really fine, and I think Bai Ying... is really a good person."

Just then, Xiao Wu pushed the door open and entered. A brilliant smile covered her face as she immediately asked with concern, "Shui Bing'er, how are your injuries now? Do they still hurt?"

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Xiao Wu, Wu as in dancing."

"My brother didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Xiao Wu gave Shui Bing'er a strange look, clearly knowing what kind of temperament Bai Ying had.

"He didn't make me do anything."

Shui Bing'er hurriedly explained.

"I heard it all from my brother. He said he wanted you to be his maid to repay your debt. My brother really is something else, bullying a young girl?"

Shui Bing'er quickly said, "I agreed to it willingly. It has nothing to do with him."

"You really agreed willingly? He didn't force you?"

Shui Bing'er nodded in confusion, avoiding Xiao Wu's gaze.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong naturally understood the meaning in her eyes and hurriedly stepped in. "Enough, Xiao Wu. Don't make it sound like you're interrogating a criminal. Relax a little, it's fine."

After hearing that, Xiao Wu did not continue questioning her.

"Let me treat you again."

Ning Rongrong continued.

Shui Bing'er did not refuse. She took a deep breath. She knew that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was the number one support-type Martial Soul on the entire continent, so its healing ability was undoubtedly first-rate. Right now, the most important thing for her was to recover from her injuries as quickly as possible.

"First, strength. Second, speed. Third, Soul." Three beams of light shot into Shui Bing'er's body with lightning speed.

Shui Bing'er could feel her injuries rapidly recovering.

The fatigue in her body vanished at once.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing had finally completely fused with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Life Pearl.

"Zhuqing, how are you? Are you alright?"

Bai Ying watched Zhu Zhuqing nervously. He saw her aura undergo an earth-shaking transformation at that moment. Her originally icy, aloof temperament now carried an indescribable hint of wicked allure. Her eyes gleamed with a deep, shadowy light, as though they could pierce straight through a person's heart.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Rest assured!"

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath. "It seems my martial soul has mutated."

"Bai Ying, could you take a look for me?" she asked softly, her voice carrying an indescribable confidence.

Bai Ying nodded, anticipation filling his eyes. He knew that Zhu Zhuqing was about to reveal her brand-new power.

Zhu Zhuqing drew a deep breath, then abruptly released her martial soul—the Hell Spirit Cat.

In an instant, the entire room was shrouded in a dark aura. The Hell Spirit Cat's figure flickered in and out of view within the darkness, its eyes glimmering with a deep, shadowy light as though they could see through everything.

A trace of surprise flashed through Bai Ying's eyes. He could clearly sense that the aura emanating from Zhu Zhuqing was utterly different from before. It was exceedingly evil. In terms of quality, Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul was in no way inferior to the Evil White Tiger.

"Zhuqing, your martial soul really has mutated," Bai Ying said in amazement. "I can feel that supremely evil and powerful force within you. Your Hell Spirit Cat martial soul has perfectly fused with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Life Pearl, forming an entirely new martial soul form."

"I think this martial soul of yours no longer counts as a Hell Spirit Cat. It should have a new name."

"A new name? Give me one."

"Let's call it the Netherworld Evil Cat."
