The three of them walked to the entrance.
There, they happened to see a pink-haired girl sitting in a chair.
She was carefully reading a novel.
Even from afar, the three could occasionally hear her strange laughter.
"Hehe~ That trash knight really is trash..."
When the guard beside her saw the three emerge from the entrance, he immediately went to Ning Rongrong's side and politely tapped the table.
He was reminding her that the people who had reported earlier had arrived.
Ning Rongrong, who had been engrossed in her book, was startled by the sudden tapping. She quickly grabbed the book from the table and pressed it tightly against her chest.
She glared angrily at her guard.
But when she followed his gaze, she saw the three people the other guard had mentioned. Ning Rongrong hurriedly stood up and placed the book into her storage space.
She straightened her clothes.
A sweet smile swiftly appeared on her face. Her gaze fixed directly on Du Bei in the middle of the trio, the corners of her lips lifting into a flawless smile.
"Hello, my name is Ning Rongrong. Nice to meet you."
"Oh, no... it should be, finally meeting you."
As she spoke, she waved an antique bronze key through the air, smiling at the three opposite her. Her identity was obvious.
She was the Little Princess from the group—this princess herself!
Seeing the three chatting here,
the guards silently retreated into the shadows, no longer staying around to disturb this little witch.
The guard who had already hidden himself in the shadows smiled as he greeted his companion.
"You're here?"
Seeing that smug grin,
the guard who had always stayed by Ning Rongrong's side kicked him straight in the ass and said unhappily,
"Bastard, what's wrong with keeping me company for a while?"
"Do you know how much pressure I'm under, staying beside the Young Sect Master alone?"
His companion merely patted his butt, completely unbothered. Instead, he smugly raised his brows.
"Hehe~ Who told you not to run as fast as me?"
"..."
Looking at Ning Rongrong, who wore white clothes and had short hair cut to her ears, Xiao Wu curiously stepped forward and circled around her once.
She confirmed it—she really was a princess.
The aura of someone who had long occupied a high position was impossible to conceal. Having read so many lewd novels, Xiao Wu recognized it at a glance.
She was practically the tsundere princess from a novel...
"Say, isn't this a bit unnecessary?"
"Even if this is our first meeting, don't you think the way you're looking at me like some rare animal is a little strange?"
After being inspected for so long,
Ning Rongrong finally couldn't take it anymore. She grabbed the rabbit who was still trying to circle around her and stopped her right in front of herself.
Xiao Wu, who had been forcibly stopped, smiled as well.
She extended a hand toward Ning Rongrong.
"Hello, let me formally introduce myself!"
"My name is Xiao Wu, the Wu from dancing! I'm also Big Radish from the group, but I hope you won't expose my identity!"
Otherwise, she would no longer be able to enjoy the gossip.
Instead, she might become the subject of everyone else's gossip. She had no desire to experience that feeling of being exposed in public!
"Don't worry! This princess isn't that kind of petty person!"
"I wouldn't deign to do something so immoral. You don't need to be so formal, either. Just call me Rongrong."
Seeing that the two had already started chatting,
Du Bei, with Zhu Zhuqing beside him, also walked over. They revealed their identities in the group and their real names to each other.
"So you really are an uncle?"
After sizing Du Bei up from head to toe, Ning Rongrong's eyes flickered with an inexplicable emotion, as though she had discovered something unusual.
There was even a faint trace of inexplicable excitement mixed within it!
Du Bei was utterly baffled by the look. He somehow felt as if someone had set their sights on him again without him realizing it.
Of course, that emotion came quickly and faded just as quickly.
Before long,
the Little Princess's gaze shifted from him to Zhu Zhuqing beside him!
To be precise, to her figure!
"Wow! How did you develop like this?"
"Why does it feel like they're almost as big as mine..."
Women's topics were always baffling. They had clearly been strangers online just moments ago, yet after chatting for a short while, they had become close best friends.
The speed at which they became best friends
was simply incomprehensible.
"..."
Star Dou Great Forest.
At the edge of the outer region.
"Xiao San, your development this time will still focus on increasing the toxicity of your Blue Silver Grass..."
"According to my theory..."
Listening to the Master's endless theories beside him,
Tang San followed behind with a look of ravenous eagerness, as though he regarded them as absolute truth!
He continuously praised his teacher's profound knowledge!
"Teacher, what you said makes so much sense!"
"We'll choose poison! The more poisonous, the better! I'll leave everything to you, Teacher!"
To outsiders, he looked exactly like a devoted little fanboy!
But this was precisely the result Yu Xiaogang wanted. Seeing Tang San's eager expression beside him,
Yu Xiaogang's vanity was continuously satisfied!
He had trained this disciple well! It was time to boldly test the theories in his heart!
"Alright! Since you trust your teacher so much, then today your teacher will indulge himself for once! I'll choose the soul beast most suitable for you to become your soul ring!"
"Really, Teacher?"
Tang San's face was filled with excitement!
"Of course!"
"Now, as long as Flender finds that soul beast's trail, we can..."
Hearing the voices of the master and disciple,
the two Soul Sages secretly protecting Tang San looked at each other, then simultaneously shrugged.
Who in the Clear Sky Sect didn't know by now?
This kid had Twin Martial Souls? And his second martial soul was the Clear Sky Sect's exclusive martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer!
As for his first martial soul, Blue Silver Grass—
sorry, that was outside the scope of their plans. Besides, there was a Master beside him. No matter how he handled it, the kid probably wouldn't die.
With the sound of rushing wind,
Flender, who had gone scouting for soul beasts, precisely landed in front of Yu Xiaogang and Tang San. The moment he arrived, he looked at them excitedly!
Seeing Flender's excited expression,
Yu Xiaogang hurriedly asked!
"You found it?!!"
"Found it! An 1,800-year Rot-Poison Snake! It's up ahead—Old Zhao has already pinned it down!"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words,
"What are we waiting for?"
"Xiao San, let's hurry! Although it exceeds the limit by forty years this time, I believe you can handle it!"
Faced with his teacher's encouragement,
Tang San solemnly nodded, declaring that he would never disappoint his teacher's expectations!
Just as the three hurried forward.
Outside Shrek's entrance.
Ning Rongrong stared at the soul ring beneath Du Bei's feet, her mouth falling open in disbelief as she cried out!
"How is this possible!?"
"Why is your first soul ring already two thousand years..."
