As time passed bit by bit, perhaps because it was her first time absorbing a spirit ring, Zi Nu's stunning face was already covered in fragrant sweat. Yan Lingji watched worriedly from the side. "Master, Sister Zi Nu will be alright, won't she? It's already been half an hour."
Zhao Zilong remained calm. "This is a thousand-year spirit ring, after all. Naturally, it'll be troublesome to absorb. Besides, it's Zi Nu's first time absorbing a spirit ring."
Holding Yan Lingji in his arms, he teased, "When I absorbed a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring beyond my level, it took me more than twenty days to completely absorb it."
"More than twenty days?" Yan Lingji was understandably astonished.
Zhao Zilong looked at Yan Lingji. "Didn't your world also have the concept of secluded cultivation? Through cultivation, you should be able to go without food or water for several days, right?"
Yan Lingji was a little embarrassed by Zhao Zilong's words. "That's true. Some highly skilled martial artists can meditate and cultivate to reduce their body's energy consumption, but only a very small number of people can go several days without food or water. I certainly can't do it."
Zhao Zilong smiled softly and kissed Yan Lingji's beautiful cheek. "Once Zi Nu finishes absorbing her spirit ring, I'll take you to find yours. Since you followed me to Douluo Continent, I'll fulfill every promise I made to you."
What Zhao Zilong did not know was that, in the distance, Yue Yao watched him being affectionate with Yan Lingji and said unhappily, "That brat has promises with those two girls too? Hmph..."
More than an hour later, Zi Nu finally absorbed the thousand-year spirit ring. She slowly opened her violet eyes, and Zhao Zilong said when he saw her awaken, "You're awake."
"Mm."
