Ning Rongrong, who had been tagging along behind Chen Fan for two days, finally spoke up.
She wanted to grow stronger too, but she clearly could not use Chen Fan's unique method yet.
"Can't you train with Zhu Qing?"
Chen Fan rolled his eyes at her.
"Isn't there some way to become stronger without getting tired?"
Ning Rongrong lowered her head slightly and asked nervously.
To be honest, Chen Fan had wanted to slap this little princess across the face at that moment. But after thinking it over, he still said gently, "If that's your attitude, then stop hanging around with me. Turn around and go home—have your grandfather teach you how to cultivate Soul Power."
"Huh?"
Ning Rongrong's heart trembled when she heard that. She knew that her laziness these past few days had made Chen Fan somewhat dissatisfied.
But she truly did not want to work that hard.
"I'll give you one last chance. From now on, Zhu Qing will lead you in physical training for the time being. If you still choose to slack off, then there's nothing I can do."
Chen Fan delivered his final ultimatum.
Although Ning Rongrong possessed a Top-tier Support Martial Soul, was beautiful, and had an elegant temperament, Chen Fan would not focus on nurturing her just because of that.
"Okay... I understand."
Ning Rongrong clenched her fists and made up her mind. From then on, she would cultivate bit by bit as well.
Afterward, Zhu Zhuqing took the girl away to train.
In Chen Fan's current room.
Xiao Wu rested her chin on both hands and watched Chen Fan read the Book of Darkness across from her, feeling rather bored.
Ever since she had sacrificed herself to Chen Fan, she had felt incredibly relaxed, completely free of her former exhaustion.
She could come out whenever she wanted, without any restraints.
She no longer wanted to eat anything either, unable to feel even the slightest hunger.
That had made her little life exceptionally leisurely.
"Xiao Wu, I have a mission for you later."
Chen Fan put down the book about Soul Beasts in his hands and spoke seriously.
"A mission?"
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up slightly, as though something fun was about to happen.
"Yes. This mission is called Saving the Blue Silver Emperor."
Chen Fan said.
"The Blue Silver Emperor? Is that Tang San's mother?"
"Didn't she die after sacrificing herself?"
During her time in the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu had heard about the Blue Silver Emperor running away with a human.
She had also heard that the Blue Silver Emperor had fallen. She simply had not expected the Blue Silver Emperor to be Tang San's mother.
The person the Blue Silver Emperor had sacrificed herself for was the Clear Sky Douluo.
"Brother Chen Fan, don't you hate that guy? Why do you still want to save his mother?"
Xiao Wu stared suspiciously at Chen Fan, feeling that he had some unknown and peculiar fetish.
Her little gaze carried a trace of resentment. Chen Fan knew she had misunderstood, though not entirely.
"First, let me explain the Blue Silver Emperor's situation."
"She isn't truly dead. After all, she is the ruler of the Blue Silver Grass, so some fragments of her soul still remain."
"However, Tang Hao has hidden and protected her, intending to keep harvesting her. Even someone as omniscient and omnipotent as me doesn't know where the Blue Silver Emperor is."
"But as long as I can find the patch of Blue Silver Emperor Tang Hao has hidden away, I can obtain her power and revive her in the process. Then you'll have another sister."
Chen Fan stroked his chin and spoke with a solemn expression.
Xiao Wu listened very seriously, but she had no idea how she was supposed to find her.
However, when she heard Chen Fan say she would have another sister, she immediately thought that Chen Fan might make the Blue Silver Emperor sacrifice herself as well.
Once she thought about how no one would die, she no longer felt it was a big deal.
"But will the Blue Silver Emperor listen to you?"
Xiao Wu asked.
"Even if she refuses to believe that Tang Hao is using her, I can still forcefully take control of her. Besides, all I want is her power. Although devouring a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast is still a little difficult for me right now, controlling her and making her obediently sacrifice herself won't be a problem."
Chen Fan looked at Xiao Wu as he spoke.
Xiao Wu thought of the emotions that had inexplicably appeared in her heart before.
"Use Darkness Power when the Blue Silver Emperor starts to waver?"
Xiao Wu answered before he could.
"Exactly."
Chen Fan praised her. After following him, Xiao Wu had become much smarter. At the very least, she was no longer a stupid rabbit.
"You want me to go back to Tang San's side and follow him?"
Xiao Wu seemed to understand what her mission was.
"That's right, but you need to find an opportunity to stab Tang San once. Consider it a test of your state of mind."
Chen Fan said seriously.
"What if Tang Hao attacks me?"
Xiao Wu frowned. She did not feel much about stabbing Tang San once—she hated that guy most now.
"I'll follow you in secret. Besides, you'll be going in Soul State, and you'll be very fast if you need to run. There's no need to worry."
Chen Fan said.
Originally, he had wanted to follow Tang San himself. But after thinking it over, he felt that having Xiao Wu betray him from behind seemed quite entertaining.
So he wanted Xiao Wu to go instead, and incidentally let her completely fall into darkness. That way, she could evolve into a Dark-Eyed Spirit Rabbit sooner.
"But will Tang San return to Shrek?"
Xiao Wu was puzzled.
"That's why I'm waiting here right now."
Chen Fan reached out and tapped her forehead.
Xiao Wu gave a cry, though she was only pretending. She was merely an incorporeal body, and Chen Fan could not touch her.
Even so, she and he shared a deep connection.
"After completing this trial, you should grow somewhat. Then you'll be able to undergo evolution and gain a new physical body."
Chen Fan said.
"Like before?"
Xiao Wu murmured, anticipation rising in her heart.
She nodded firmly, declaring that she would definitely complete the mission. She was going to cut out Tang San's kidneys!
Chen Fan sucked in a breath and said she was too vicious.
Not long afterward, Zhu Zhuqing came to cultivate. After two days of adjustment, she no longer needed to rely on Chen Fan to integrate Darkness Power.
However, she was still worried that an accident might happen, so she came to Chen Fan every time she cultivated.
Half an hour later, Zhu Zhuqing finished cultivating. Although she still wanted to cultivate longer, Chen Fan had said that the process needed to be gradual and there was no need to rush.
A few days passed just like that.
Ning Rongrong had been quite diligent these past few days. Chen Fan's words from last time must have had some effect.
Every day, she followed Zhu Zhuqing out to train.
However, she still could not keep up with Zhu Zhuqing's training volume. Every day, she was exhausted enough to wish she could sleep for three days straight.
But when she thought about becoming stronger, she still got up early and began training hard.
After so many days, Ning Rongrong had clearly improved as well.
Her Soul Power had risen by one level, and her physical condition had improved greatly compared to before.
However, someone had always been secretly watching Ning Rongrong while she trained, making her feel quite uncomfortable.
"I told you already, you don't need to come take care of me. I can manage on my own."
