Ah Rou's Suggestion, Ning Rongrong the Little Rich Girl

Xiao Wu introduced the storybook's special functions.

Only then did Ah Rou understand. No wonder Xiao Wu had dared to come to Spirit City.

So she had gained the storybook's protection!

With the storybook's protection, there would be no danger for the time being.

At least for the next year, she would be very safe.

Tang San and his father were the ones they needed to keep an eye on!

Those villains knew her identity.

However, Tang Hao probably would not dare come to Spirit City. He was wanted by Spirit Hall.

A place like Spirit City was a deathtrap for him!

"Since you don't want to leave for now, stay here first. But... you can't live in the Library."

At those words, the other two girls looked over.

Xiao Wu's mother agreed to let them stay in Spirit City?

Though whether they stayed or not had little to do with her.

But now, they were allies—loyal allies of the Scum-Beating Alliance.

Besides, Xiao Wu's mother was truly an elder and deserved respect.

When it came to respecting elders, they had indeed done fairly well.

"Mom, then where will we live? I... I don't want to be separated from you."

Xiao Wu sniffled.

She had finally gotten to see her mother again. Even if Ah Rou was only a spirit body, Xiao Wu still wanted to stay by her side at all times.

"Sigh... The Library has many people coming and going every day. Staying here would be rather dangerous."

"You can stay at a hotel in Spirit City for now. I'll think of something and see if there's a suitable way for you to remain here."

Ah Rou truly had no good solution at the moment.

Because she was only a spirit body.

And she had no money!

She had wanted to help them purchase a property first.

But housing in Spirit City was extremely expensive. Even Ye Mu could not afford a house yet.

The issue of lodging had become their greatest problem in staying in Spirit City.

"Is Auntie worried about housing? It's fine. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has businesses here too, so finding somewhere to stay won't be a problem."

Ning Rongrong suddenly spoke in a relaxed tone.

Ah Rou paused slightly, then suddenly understood.

From the storybook's contents, she knew that this girl's identity was far from ordinary.

She was absolutely a little rich girl.

If Ning Rongrong was willing to help, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing could both stay.

"Tomorrow, I'll deal with the property matter. We can choose a house closer to the Library."

As long as money could solve it, it was not a problem for Ning Rongrong.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lacked nothing less than money.

She had truly seen mountains of gold—and possessed mountains of gold!

"Rongrong, thank you."

Xiao Wu was deeply moved. She could finally stay.

With the lodging issue settled, Ah Rou began worrying about something else.

Xiao Wu was already twelve. A transformed Spirit Beast needed contact with humans in order to grow quickly.

So an academy was the best place for her.

But what should she do about a Soul Master Academy?

As she thought, her gaze turned toward the Management Office.

She wondered if Ye Mu had a solution.

Besides, the storybook's protection over Xiao Wu only lasted one year.

After a year, her Spirit Beast aura could still be detected by experts at the Soul Douluo level.

"Mom, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing her mother fall silent, Xiao Wu was very curious.

"Nothing, nothing. Xiao Wu, tell me about your experiences over the years. Are Daming and Erming doing well?"

Ah Rou temporarily put those matters aside.

After not seeing each other for so many years, she wanted to learn everything her daughter had gone through.

Xiao Wu sat on Ye Mu's bed and chattered away about everything that had happened over the years.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing did not interrupt.

They could not truly relate to her feelings, but seeing how excited Xiao Wu was, they listened quietly.

At the Management Office, Ye Mu was already checking his rewards for being urged to update.

Ning Rongrong's use of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone as an item to urge an update had indeed earned him quite a few rewards.

It was once again a Martial Soul Evolution reward, raising the progress by five percent!

The previous progress had been fifteen percent. Adding the one percent gained from updating and the five percent reward for being urged to update—

The progress had now reached twenty-one percent.

It was a very good reward.

At this rate, he might complete another evolution within a year.

He was now very curious and eager to see what improvements the Martial Soul's second evolution would bring.

"Zhu Zhuqing probably can't urge another update for the time being. I can only update other new stories first."

Ye Mu pondered.

It seemed a little heartless, but there was no helping it.

He had no backing. If he wanted to survive the struggles ahead, he could only use every possible means to strengthen himself.

His Soul Power had already reached level twenty-nine. In a few days, he would reach level thirty.

Then, he could hunt for his third Spirit Ring!

After thinking for a long while, he finally fell asleep.

When he woke the next morning and went to check the residence, all three girls were already gone.

Ah Rou had already returned to the Spirit Ring.

The residence was empty. If not for the faint fragrance lingering in the room, he might truly have believed that last night's events had been a dream.

If nothing unexpected happened, the three girls would still come to the Library.

After all, Ah Rou was with him, so Xiao Wu would definitely come.

As for Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing?

For now, they had become close friends and would surely stay.

Three girls had suddenly appeared in his life. It felt like things would become troublesome in the future.

And since they had found their way to his door, he wondered whether other Book Friends would come looking for him later.

Now, the person he feared most finding him in Spirit City was Bibi Dong.

She was a crazy woman.

If she learned his identity, it was hard not to suspect that she might seize him.

Someone who knew countless events of the future would be extremely important to Bibi Dong.

He would also be of enormous help to Spirit Hall's development.

So Bibi Dong definitely would not give up searching for him!

How could he avoid being found by Bibi Dong?

Just thinking about it made him feel melancholy.

That woman never played by the rules.

If Xiao Wu and the others could find him, Bibi Dong would probably have a way too.

Outside the Library, Ning Rongrong had already bought a house.

It was very close to the Library, on the next street over, only about two hundred meters away.

"Zhuqing, use this to urge an update. There definitely won't be a problem!"

Ning Rongrong took out another Spirit Bone.

She had just obtained it from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's office in Spirit City.

"Th-this is too valuable. I can't..."

"It's fine, just a little trinket. If you really feel bad about it, return it once you have a Spirit Bone in the future."

Ning Rongrong was very generous.

Sure enough, anything money could solve was not a problem for her.

It was also a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. If they used it to urge an update, Ye Mu would surely write all the rest of the story, right?

At that moment, Xiao Wu suddenly said, "Didn't you see how I urged an update before? One carrot was enough. Why use something so expensive?"

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing: "..."

One carrot?

Had Xiao Wu misspoken, or were they hearing things?
