Delicious Experience Packs, Qian Renxue's Anomaly!

"Your Highness, this isn't my fault."

"I always tell myself to be a good person."

Qin Jiuxiao shrugged helplessly, putting on an innocent expression.

Immediately after, two figures slowly appeared behind them: Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong.

Gu Rong was a level 95 Super Douluo.

Zi Ji narrowed her eyes slightly but made no move.

A mere level 95 Super Douluo could not see through her true form.

"That was an internal matter of the royal family just now; it wouldn't be appropriate for us to be present."

"Jiuxiao, long time no see."

"Rongrong actually talked about you quite a bit back then."

Ning Fengzhi nodded toward Qin Jiuxiao; clearly, this was not their first meeting.

Back before he had awakened his spirit power, Qin Jiuxiao had worried that he wouldn't awaken a particularly good spirit.

He had established various connections early on.

His father had been on good terms with Ning Fengzhi when they were young.

So, he had met Ning Rongrong when he was a child. At the time, a bit of magic from his past life had charmed the little girl so much that she refused to leave Soto City.

The pity was that he hadn't awakened his spirit or his cheat code back then, so he couldn't collect any colorful-tier traits.

But with this connection, collecting traits later would be much simpler.

"Long time no see, Uncle Ning. I've missed you terribly."

Qin Jiuxiao stepped forward and gave Ning Fengzhi a hug.

[Ding! Contact with Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect established. Obtained trait "Self-Cultivation and Qi Nourishment (Gold)": Remain calm in the face of adversity, possess an aura of returning to simplicity, and maintain a cool head at all times.]

As he obtained this gold-tier trait, the spirit power within his body also grew quietly.

The corners of Qin Jiuxiao's mouth curled into an inconspicuous arc, and he felt extremely satisfied inside.

A delicious experience pack—how delightful!

Ning Fengzhi was also stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know when he had become so close with Qin Jiuxiao, he still smiled and patted his shoulder in response to the hug.

Qin Jiuxiao then turned his gaze to Gu Rong, his eyes lighting up.

This was a level 95 Titled Douluo!

At the very least, he had to have a gold-tier trait!

"Grandpa Gu, you're still as vigorous as ever. It's been a long time since we last met!"

As he spoke, he went up to try the same trick, but Gu Rong transformed into a streak of black light and flashed to the other side.

Qin Jiuxiao lunged at empty air.

This was Gu Rong's signature space-type spirit skill.

"Kid Qin, I don't think we've ever met before."

Gu Rong's face was expressionless, his tone indifferent.

But this did not hinder Qin Jiuxiao's desire to taste the experience pack.

"Grandpa Gu, there's no need to be so cold. A friend's friend is a friend, and a relative's relative is naturally a relative."

"I'm close with Uncle Ning and Rongrong, so naturally, I'm close with you too."

"Hugging between relatives helps build rapport."

He lunged again, but Gu Rong used Teleportation to dodge once more, a playful smile appearing on his face.

Qin Jiuxiao narrowed his eyes and began to take it seriously.

The muscles in his legs tensed, and the next moment he vanished from where he stood, his speed not losing to any agility-type spirit master.

A flash of surprise crossed Gu Rong's eyes. He dodged repeatedly, but Qin Jiuxiao remained stuck to him like a shadow.

Just as he prepared to teleport again, a flash of lightning crossed Qin Jiuxiao's eyes, and a layer of electricity covered the soles of his feet.

His speed was several times faster than before.

This time, he arrived at the location where Gu Rong was about to teleport ahead of time. As soon as Gu Rong appeared, he grabbed his arm.

[Ding! Contact with Titled Douluo Gu Rong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect established. Obtained trait "Teleportation (Red)": Consume a certain amount of spirit power to perform spatial teleportation. The more spirit power consumed, the greater the distance.]

At the same time, the spirit power in his body became even more robust.

It was worth the effort; he had actually obtained a red-tier trait.

He was absolutely winning!

Gu Rong, caught, had a look of deep meaning in his eyes as he grabbed Qin Jiuxiao's shoulder with his large hand.

He wanted to test Qin Jiuxiao's current spirit power.

But he was shocked by the powerful physical strength, and even his probing spirit power was blocked on the outside.

"Good kid, to have such strong physical power!"

Qin Jiuxiao chuckled, then used Teleportation to break free from that large hand.

This made Gu Rong's eyes widen even further.

"You kid actually know spatial spirit skills too!"

Suddenly, the way he looked at Qin Jiuxiao became heated; this kid was practically a disciple tailor-made for him.

Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe, standing to the side, were also quite shocked.

They had never known Qin Jiuxiao possessed such abilities.

This made them value Qin Jiuxiao even more.

Qin Jiuxiao walked to Xue Qinghe's side and, without any hesitation, draped his arm over his shoulder.

"Your Highness, standing out here isn't ideal. Why don't we find a place to have some pastries and tea, and talk in detail?"

[Ding! Contact with Spirit Hall Young Master Qian Renxue (Xue Qinghe) established. Obtained trait "Holy Angel's Protection (Colorful)": When suffering a fatal blow, activate a shield to block the damage. Cooldown period: one year!]

The third colorful-tier trait was in his hands!

And it was something similar to a "Name-Brand Blade" effect, which provided a great guarantee for his safety in the early stages.

Even if "Little San" tried to assassinate him with hidden weapons, he wouldn't have to be afraid anymore.

Furthermore, a cry echoed in his mind—it was the power belonging to his third spirit ring.

It was gradually awakening.

Xue Qinghe hadn't paid much attention at first, but when that cry rang out in Qin Jiuxiao's mind, she suddenly froze.

The Angel Spirit within her body became restless, with an urge to manifest on the spot.

But this urge was suppressed by her with all her might, and a flush of red even appeared on her face.

Ning Fengzhi and the others were still nearby; if the Angel Spirit were exposed, the entire continent would be shaken.

She could only suppress her restless emotions and pull away from Qin Jiuxiao's grasp.

If she had let Qin Jiuxiao continue to hold her, she feared she would no longer be able to suppress the urge to release her Angel Spirit.

"Jiuxiao, Teacher, I've prepared some breakfast in the garden. Let's chat while we eat."

After saying this, she walked ahead, looking as if she were fleeing in a panic.

Ning Fengzhi came to Qin Jiuxiao's side and said earnestly:

"Jiuxiao, Qinghe is the Crown Prince after all; you must show the minimum amount of respect."

"You cannot be as casual as you are with us, or it will damage his royal dignity."

Qin Jiuxiao nodded, though he was a bit puzzled inside.

Logically, this little angel shouldn't have acted like that. Could it really be for the sake of the Crown Prince's dignity?

Unable to figure it out, Qin Jiuxiao stopped thinking about it.

Thinking too much would only disturb his own mood.

Immediately after, Ning Fengzhi looked at Zi Ji, who was standing beside Qin Jiuxiao.

Gu Rong had just sent him a voice transmission saying that even he couldn't see through this woman, and there was a high probability she was a Titled Douluo.

But Ning Fengzhi knew the strength of the Qin family well. Although they were titled as counts and possessed a city's territory, they definitely couldn't hire a Titled Douluo as a bodyguard.

That meant there was a high probability this had to do with Qin Jiuxiao.

"Jiuxiao, I am quite familiar with the Qin family, but I don't seem to have met this young lady before."

"Might I ask who she is?"
