Without comparison, there was no difference.

Compared to the Light Goddess Butterfly, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and Soft Bone Rabbit beside it were truly ordinary and inconspicuous.

How could Ning Rongrong fail to notice the change in Sword Grandpa Chen Xin's expression? She smirked mischievously.

"Sword Grandpa, isn't Qingling's snowman beautiful?"

"Ah... yes, the butterfly is beautiful."

"Uh... Rongrong, listen to my explanation..."

If Ning Rongrong had not reminded him, Chen Xin would have forgotten that there were also a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and a Soft Bone Rabbit made of snow beside it.

"No need to explain, Sword Grandpa. Rongrong admits defeat. The snowman I made is far inferior to Sister Qingling's."

Chen Xin gave an awkward laugh. "Alright, alright. You girls play by yourselves. I won't meddle anymore."

Before Ning Rongrong could say anything, he turned and left on his sword.

Watching Sword Grandpa's disappearing figure, Ning Rongrong puffed out her little cheeks, her face flushed red.

"Honestly, Sword Grandpa won't even stay and play with me properly."

Xiao Wu giggled. "Rongrong, you really love teasing people."

"Xiao Wu, what are you doing? Don't expose me. I just wanted to see how Sword Grandpa would react."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Chen Qingling and the other two played happily for three days, until a ray of light pierced through the clouds on the morning of the fourth day and shone upon the flawless white earth.

"It isn't snowing today! Yay, yay!"

"Yeah, it finally stopped snowing. Sister Qingling and Rongrong, you two can go obtain your Soul Rings now."

Chen Qingling, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu sat together on the rooftop, gazing up at the azure sky.

Just then—

"Sword Grandpa, you're here!" Ning Rongrong beamed as she watched Chen Xin fly over on his sword from afar.

"I had to come, or Rongrong and my disciple would think I broke my word." Chen Xin chuckled as he rode the Seven Kill Sword to their side.

"Rongrong, Disciple, come aboard. I'll let you experience what it feels like to fly."

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands excitedly. "Sure! I've envied Sister Qingling for being able to fly for so long. I want to know what flying feels like too."

Without hesitation, she stepped onto the Seven Kill Sword and tightly grabbed the corner of Chen Xin's robe, afraid she might fall.

"Master... I don't need to, right? I can fly on my own."

Chen Xin waved his hand. "No. You can fly, Disciple, but you're too slow."

"Huh?! Master, are we in that much of a hurry?"

Chen Xin nodded. "Of course. With your good luck blessing us, if we're fortunate, we'll be back by tonight."

Ever since he had helped Qingling and Rongrong easily obtain their First Soul Rings last time, Chen Xin had known that she possessed extraordinary luck.

Her luck was absurdly good, as though the Goddess of Luck herself had descended into the world.

"Fine." Chen Qingling stepped onto the Seven Kill Sword after her, tightly clutching Ning Rongrong's clothes.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready, Sword Grandpa."

"Master, I'm ready. Let's go." Chen Qingling's eyes sparkled. She had never experienced Sword Riding Flight either.

Today, she would see how it differed from flying on her own.

"Alright." Chen Xin formed a hand seal, and the Seven Kill Sword beneath his feet tore through the sky and shot forward.

The speed was so great that Ning Rongrong, who had never flown before, screamed in terror.

"Ahhh!"

"Sword Grandpa, slow down! Slow down! Ahhh!"

The fierce wind battered her body, and Ning Rongrong shut her eyes in fear.

Flying was scary enough. If she opened her eyes and looked down, she would probably faint on the spot.

Chen Qingling, on the other hand, remained perfectly calm without the slightest discomfort. Smiling, she relaxed and spread her arms.

"Hee hee, Rongrong, Sword Riding Flight isn't that scary."

"N-No, Qingling, you've flown before. I... I've never flown at all. How could I not be scared?"

"Oh, Rongrong, with me here, I guarantee you'll be fine. Open your eyes and look at this beautiful scenery."

With Chen Qingling's reassuring words, Ning Rongrong made up her mind. Gritting her teeth, she opened her eyes.

The wind still battered her body, but it did not seem as frightening as she had imagined.

The way to overcome fear was to face it head-on!

As Chen Xin controlled the Seven Kill Sword and continued onward, he spoke to Ning Rongrong and Chen Qingling.

"Rongrong, how does flying feel?"

Ning Rongrong's face was red from the wind. "It feels so good... so fast."

Chen Xin's eyelid twitched. What kind of adjectives were those...

It had clearly been perfectly innocent, yet somehow it sounded different coming from Ning Rongrong's mouth.

She had made it suggestive, but not quite.

A short while later, the three arrived at their destination: Sunset Forest.

Sword Riding Flight really was fast, several times faster than traveling by carriage.

"Sunset Forest, we're back!" Ning Rongrong cheered as she looked at the snow-covered Sunset Forest.

Chen Xin smiled and shook his head. Rongrong had certainly grown, but her mind was still that of a child.

The three walked forward shoulder to shoulder, just as they had once done in Star Dou Great Forest.

Though only half a year had passed, Chen Xin felt as though they had been separated for many years.

Their path was completely unobstructed. They did not encounter a single Soul Beast, nor was there even the slightest sound. The silence was frightening.

Ning Rongrong frowned. "No way, why haven't we run into a single Soul Beast?"

"Could they all be hiding because they're cold?"

That was impossible. Even Soul Masters did not fear the cold, much less thick-skinned Soul Beasts.

Suddenly, the Butterfly Attracting Flower inside Ning Rongrong's Soul Tool flew out on its own.

"Th-This... what's going on? Qingling, why did your Butterfly Attracting Flower fly out of my Soul Tool?"

Ning Rongrong was utterly dumbfounded. She had never seen anything emerge from a Soul Tool on its own without its owner's permission.

Even Chen Xin, a Titled Douluo, had never heard of such a thing. His expression was one of astonishment and shock.

But when he remembered that the Butterfly Attracting Flower had been made by Qingling's father, he accepted it.

After all, that man could cast down divine light from tens of thousands of miles away to protect his daughter's safety.

The Butterfly Attracting Flower flying out on its own was nothing. They were simply ignorant.

Under the gazes of the three, the Butterfly Attracting Flower flew above Chen Qingling's head. Its petals bloomed, releasing wisps of floral fragrance, as if drawing butterfly-type Soul Beasts toward it.

Ning Rongrong's gaze grew complicated. She roughly understood what was about to happen.

She still remembered Chen Qingling mentioning that her Second Soul Ring had been a Thousand-Year Soul Ring because of this Butterfly Attracting Flower.

This time, it would create another unprecedented record!

Sunset Forest was home to many Soul Beasts. Though it could not compare to Star Dou Great Forest, it was still the continent's second-largest Soul Beast forest.

At the same time—

"What is going on?" Dugu Bo had only just left the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well when he was startled by the sudden sight before him.

Countless butterfly-type Soul Beasts danced through the air ahead of Dugu Bo, flying westward.

Dugu Bo immediately decided to follow the swarm of butterfly-type Soul Beasts.

When he saw them surround Chen Qingling, his expression changed drastically.

Wasn't she the person who had taken the Immortal Herbs from the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well?

Just who was she?
