Feelings Deepen

"Let us congratulate Player Jiang Yi on achieving another ten consecutive wins!" the host shouted excitedly at the audience.

"Jiang Yi! Jiang Yi! Jiang Yi!" Having witnessed another streak of ten consecutive wins, the audience had long since been won over by Jiang Yi's absolute strength and erupted into fervent cheers for him.

Jiang Yi had beaten Tang San up again, putting him in a good mood. He waved to the audience, then turned and walked off the stage into the backstage area.

After exchanging a few words with the excited Soros backstage, Jiang Yi collected his reward and left the Soul Fighting Arena.

That gaze after I defeated Tang San must have belonged to Tang Hao, who was hiding in the dark.

It seems that after I beat Tang San so badly twice, his father is getting restless. He's probably afraid I'll crush Tang San's spirit.

Looks like I can't stay in Suotuo City much longer, Jiang Yi thought.

Continuing to beat Tang San up might have been satisfying, but it would also put him in a dangerous place.

If Tang Hao cast aside the dignity of a Title Douluo and attacked him directly, Jiang Yi's current strength would likely be insufficient to deal with him.

Since it's like this, I should leave. My purpose for coming here has basically been fulfilled anyway.

One reason Jiang Yi had come here was to take revenge on Tang San and Xiao Wu. Even if he could not kill them, he at least wanted to beat the two of them up.

His other purpose was naturally to alter Tang San's Fate Trajectory, preventing him from becoming the God King in the original story who possessed two gods and from having the power to destroy Spirit Hall.

Now, both goals could be considered accomplished. Tang San had lost the Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring and the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone, which would greatly affect his future.

After all, Tang San had continued using the Eight Spider Lances even after becoming a God King, and they had eventually evolved into a Super Divine Weapon.

Having made his plan to leave, Jiang Yi had just reached the entrance of the Suotuo Great Soul Arena when he saw Ning Rongrong, who seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.

"Long time no see, Jiang Yi." Ning Rongrong ran over with a bright smile.

Jiang Yi smiled lightly as well. "Long time no see, Rongrong."

"I watched the match just now too. You've become stronger again," Ning Rongrong said with a smile.

Jiang Yi gave a modest smile, then asked, "You seemed to have left Suotuo City some time ago. Did something happen?"

At the mention of this, Ning Rongrong's face fell, and she opened her mouth to talk.

Ning Rongrong confided in Jiang Yi about what had happened to her in the Star Dou Forest.

As they walked and talked, they arrived at Suotuo City's commercial street.

Even at night time, the place was still bustling, with many stallholders setting up their wares.

Since neither of them had eaten dinner, they simply strolled around and ate at the same time.

"Luckily, we had good luck in the end and found an Over 1600 Years Lone Bamboo in a bamboo forest. Otherwise, who knew how long we would have had to stay in there?" Ning Rongrong complained.

"Heh, most Spirit Masters hunt Soul Rings like that. Looks like it was your First Experience," Jiang Yi said with a light smile.

Ning Rongrong replied casually, "That's true. Before, Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone would just find suitable Soul Beasts for me directly."

The first time they had eaten together, Ning Rongrong had already told Jiang Yi that she came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

As they walked and chatted, it soon grew close to midnight.

"It's getting late. Shall I take you back to Shrek Academy?" Jiang Yi asked.

Ning Rongrong humphed. "I've already withdrawn from Shrek Academy. That place is full of liars, and now they've even brought in a Soul Grandmaster to be a teacher."

Hearing this, Jiang Yi was stunned. He had not expected Ning Rongrong to have already left Shrek.

"I didn't expect you to have left that place already. Where are you planning to stay tonight?" Jiang Yi realized and asked.

Ning Rongrong's eyes darted as she asked, "Where are you staying?"

"Oh, do you want to live together with me?" Jiang Yi gazed at Ning Rongrong and joked.

Ning Rongrong looked at Jiang Yi's handsome face and deep eyes, and her cheeks flushed.

However, she refused to be outdone and puffed out her chest, pretending to be calm as she said, "Do you dare?"

"Heh, if you dare, I dare." Jiang Yi wore a serious expression.

Ning Rongrong's heart jumped, but she had already said those bold words and could not back down by admitting she did not dare.

"Hmph, who's afraid of whom?"

Seeing this look on her, Jiang Yi couldn't help but smile. "Then follow me."

Jiang Yi headed straight toward the hotel, while Ning Rongrong closely followed behind him, her cheeks slightly red and her heart beating fast.

Soon, the two arrived at the hotel where Jiang Yi was staying.

"Um, I just remembered that I left something behind and forgot to take it. I'll go back and get it first. You go in ahead."

At the entrance of the hotel, Ning Rongrong began to lose her nerve and came up with a clumsy excuse.

Jiang Yi stared at her with a smiling face and lengthened his voice. "Oh, so you forgot to take something. Then go back and get it."

Ning Rongrong's face turned red. She glowered at him in shameful anger, then turned and ran off into the distance.

When she reached an unoccupied place, Ning Rongrong stopped and patted her chest.

"Whew."

"This Jiang Yi is such a pervert. He actually really wanted to go to a hotel and book a room with me," Ning Rongrong scolded unhappily.

Yet from her tone and the shameful anger on her face, she did not seem to be all that dissatisfied with Jiang Yi.

After calming down, Ning Rongrong still planned to return to the hotel, though she certainly would not be staying in the same room as Jiang Yi.

How long had they even known each other? That would be far too fast.

Ning Rongrong turned around and was just about to leave when, at this moment, a lecherous figure suddenly appeared before her.

He was a middle-aged man over forty, with a lecherous appearance, dark skin, and a lecherous smile on his face.

He wore a pair of ripped shorts on his lower body.

"Little sister, what are you doing out here alone so late? Come play with Old Man Bu Le," Bu Le said lecherously.

Ning Rongrong's face changed as she took two steps back. "Who are you? I'm a Spirit Master."

"Heh heh, who isn't a Spirit Master? This old man is a Soul Ancestor."

With a lecherous smile on his face, Bu Le kept closing in on Ning Rongrong.

"Get lost!" A cold shout came from behind him.

Before Bu Le could react, a sharp pain shot through his waist. His entire body flew into the air and slammed hard into a nearby wall, causing him to faint on the spot.

Jiang Yi asked concernedly, "Are you okay?"

Still shaken, Ning Rongrong saw Jiang Yi arrive and immediately threw herself into his arms.

"I'm fine. I'll take you back to the hotel," Jiang Yi said gently.

Ning Rongrong nodded. Jiang Yi took her back to the hotel and booked a room for her next door to his own.

After all, Ning Rongrong was only twelve years old. Touching her would have been too beastly.

Although she returned to the hotel early, Ning Rongrong still spent a sleepless night.

Tang San and the others, who were receiving treatment from a Healing Soul Master, were equally sleepless.
