Resurrection Divine Stone!

[Ding! Ning Rongrong's affection +15. Current affection: 90 points! (Locked)]

The system notification rang out in Su Bai's mind.

Su Bai cupped the back of Ning Rongrong's head and deepened the kiss.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Ning Rongrong's pretty face was flushed, and she was panting softly.

She pulled the blanket completely away, displaying her perfect body without reservation beneath the moonlight.

"Brother Bai, am I beautiful?"

Su Bai's gaze slid from her delicate collarbones, over her flat lower abdomen, and finally landed on her long, straight legs.

She was different from Xiao Wu's liveliness and Zhu Zhuqing's cool aloofness.

Ning Rongrong carried an air of pampered nobility, one that had been nurtured since childhood and seeped into her very bones.

The feeling of conquering a princess had a flavor all its own.

Su Bai pulled her back into his arms and whispered by her ear.

"Since you've made your choice."

"Then for the rest of your life, you're mine."

[Resurrection Divine Stone: One-time item. Through a corresponding medium, it can revive a deceased person.]

The next morning.

Sunlight filtered through the gauze curtains, shimmering over Ning Rongrong's long lashes.

Ning Rongrong slowly woke, her whole body feeling as if it had been taken apart and put back together again, her mind filled with the wild memories of the night before.

She turned onto her side and gazed at Su Bai's sleeping profile.

The morning light cast a faint shadow along the bridge of his tall nose. Ning Rongrong could not help but reach out with her fingertips, wanting to touch that perfect outline.

"Looks like last night didn't tire you out enough?"

Su Bai suddenly opened his eyes, caught her restless wrist, and with one turn, pinned her beneath him.

Ning Rongrong cried out softly, her cheeks instantly turning crimson.

"Brother Bai, no more."

Ning Rongrong begged quietly, her tone sweet and delicate. "I'm a support Spirit Master."

Su Bai chuckled lowly, his fingertips twining through her seaweed-like Long Hair.

"The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect only has this much stamina?"

"You!"

Ning Rongrong glared at him angrily, but when she met his smiling eyes, her momentum instantly weakened.

"It's clearly because Brother Bai is too... too lacking in restraint."

Before Ning Rongrong could finish speaking, Su Bai sealed her lips. The kiss was gentle and lingering, only ending when she was nearly out of breath.

"Since you chose to follow me, you'll have to get used to mornings like this." Su Bai whispered by her ear, his warm breath making her whole body go soft.

Ning Rongrong buried her face in his firm chest and muttered quietly, "Bad Brother Bai. So domineering."

Feeling Su Bai's powerful heartbeat, Ning Rongrong suddenly felt that sinking into this like that might not be so bad after all.

"Sleep a little longer?" Su Bai gently stroked Ning Rongrong's back.

Ning Rongrong nodded lightly and found a comfortable position in his arms. At that moment, sect rules and the dignity of a young lady were no match for the reality of this embrace.

Several days later.

The Back Mountain of Shrek Academy.

Two completely different Soul Power Fluctuations shot into the sky almost at the same time.

Flender and Zhao Wuji rushed over immediately.

On the Training Ground, Tang San and Oscar were sitting cross-legged.

Beneath both of them, two yellow spirit rings had appeared.

An aura of breakthrough Soul Power was radiating from them.

Joy appeared on Flender's face.

"Good! Wonderful! Tang San and Oscar have both broken through to rank thirty!"

Zhao Wuji was just as excited. For Tang San and little Oscar to have such talent was truly terrifying.

"It's time to go to the Star Dou Great Forest and hunt Spirit Beasts!"

Standing in the distance, Su Bai watched the scene unfold, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.

Tang Hao should be about to make his move too.

Beside him, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing had all made no small progress in Soul Power over the past few days of cultivation with the help of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Ning Rongrong in particular, after receiving Su Bai's nourishment, had cultivated with exceptional effort, and her Soul Power had already broken through to rank twenty-seven.

Zhu Zhuqing, thanks to the Auspicious Beast Aura and Su Bai's diligent nourishment, had also reached rank twenty-eight.

Xiao Wu, meanwhile, had broken through to rank thirty-one not long ago. With the support of the Auspicious Beast Aura, her third soul ring was a two-thousand-year one.

After his excitement passed, Flender announced a piece of news.

"Tomorrow morning, Wuji and I will take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain third soul rings for Tang San and Oscar!"

Flender had just finished announcing this when he saw Su Bai not far away, leading the three girls out from another stretch of woods.

He immediately went up to them in high spirits.

"Su Bai, Tang San and Oscar have broken through. We'll set out for the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow and obtain their third soul rings! While we're at it, it'll be a chance for you to gain some experience too."

Flender's voice was filled with excitement, as if he had already seen the future glory of Shrek Academy.

Su Bai nodded and answered casually.

"Mm."

Of course he had to go to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Tang San's External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances—Su Bai had no intention of letting them land safely on Tang San.

It was not that Su Bai necessarily wanted to use them himself. His main goal was still to plunder Tang San's fortune.

As for his own External Soul Bone, sooner or later, he could open a better one from the system's treasure chests.

Not to mention, entering the Star Dou Great Forest with his status as the Imperial Auspicious Beast made that place practically his own back garden. Heavenly materials, earthly treasures, rare soul bones—wouldn't they all be his for the taking?

Seeing that Su Bai had agreed, Flender glanced at Xiao Wu beside him and added, "Perfect. Xiao Wu should be almost rank thirty too, right? She can obtain her soul ring together with them this time."

Su Bai chuckled softly and reached out to wrap an arm around Xiao Wu's slender waist, pulling her close against him.

"Dean Flender, there's no need for you to worry about that."

"I already helped Xiao Wu obtain her third soul ring a few days ago."

As soon as these words came out, the excited expressions on Flender's and Zhao Wuji's faces froze instantly.

"What?!"

Flender could hardly believe his ears. "You... you helped her obtain it? Just the two of you?"

A Soul Elder, taking a Soul Grandmaster who had only just reached rank thirty to hunt Spirit Beasts?

And one at the Thousand-year level?

Wasn't that just going to their deaths?

Su Bai did not explain. He merely signaled for Xiao Wu to release her martial soul.

Xiao Wu understood. Her Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul possessed her, and three soul rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—appeared beneath her feet.

Flender and Zhao Wuji were completely stunned.

Their mouths hung open, and for a long while, they could not say a single word.

Flender especially thought back to when Su Bai had first enrolled, to that equally beyond-standard Thousand-year second soul ring.

An absurd thought surfaced in his mind.

Could it be that behind Su Bai, just like Tang San, there was also a powerful Titled Douluo secretly protecting him?
