"What, planning to compensate me with Gold Soul Coins?"
Chu Sheng leaned against the sofa and turned his head, meeting Ning Rongrong's eyes.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had always operated on one principle: there was no problem Gold Soul Coins couldn't solve.
If there was, it simply meant there weren't enough Gold Soul Coins.
The corner of Ning Rongrong's eye twitched, and she laughed in exasperation. Was this a matter of Gold Soul Coins?
"You're as infuriating as ever!"
She said nothing more, released his hand, and sat down beside him.
Compensate him with Gold Soul Coins?
Did this guy realize he had already stolen away the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's little princess?
Wasn't that more important than Gold Soul Coins?
What an infuriating guy!
"Ding... congratulations, host, on successfully winning Ning Rongrong's heart." "Congratulations, host, on obtaining two lottery draws."
As the system notifications sounded, Chu Sheng turned to look at Ning Rongrong.
What was this young lady thinking?
Had she soothed herself?
Never mind that-she had even won herself over for him?!
Who said young ladies had bad tempers?
She had already learned to soothe herself!
About an hour later, Zhu Zhuqing also emerged from the space.
A smile graced her cool, aloof face.
Everything Chu Sheng had said was true. She was no longer the Zhu Zhuqing she had once been!
"Hm?"
She saw Chu Sheng leaning against the sofa with his eyes closed, while Ning Rongrong lay in his arms, breathing evenly. She was asleep!
Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment before tiptoeing over and sitting beside Chu Sheng.
She rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.
"Ding, congratulations, host, on successfully winning Zhu Zhuqing's heart." "Congratulations, host, on obtaining two lottery draws."
Chu Sheng: "..."
What had he done?
He hadn't done anything, yet Zhu Zhuqing had also won herself over for him??
"Truly worthy of being called the Continent of Romance. It makes absolutely no sense."
Chu Sheng sighed.
He had never actively tried to win over Ning Rongrong or Zhu Zhuqing. Their ages were honestly a little awkward.
He had intended to lay the groundwork first and wait a few years before taking things further.
He had never imagined the two of them could win themselves over...
On closer thought, it wasn't entirely without reason.
When Oscar was born, his father had only been fourteen.
"Four lottery draws. I'll save them for now."
"I'm not lacking anything anymore!"
With that thought, Chu Sheng emptied his mind and continued resting with his eyes closed.
Only in the evening did the three of them open their eyes.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing blushed slightly, but neither tried to hide.
"Zhu Zhuqing, how many levels did your soul power rise?"
"Zhu Zhuqing, did your martial soul evolve?"
"Did you..."
Ning Rongrong was even more curious about Zhu Zhuqing's changes than Chu Sheng was.
She feared her sister would suffer poverty, but also feared her sister would drive a Land Rover!
"My soul power has reached level thirty. I don't know the exact level."
"Martial soul evolution?"
Zhu Zhuqing gave Ning Rongrong a puzzled look. Her sister's martial soul must have evolved, or she wouldn't have asked that question.
"My martial soul hasn't changed. It's still the Hell Spirit Cat."
"But..."
"I gained another martial soul!"
The smile on Ning Rongrong's face froze.
What did she mean, "I gained another martial soul"??
Chu Sheng looked at Zhu Zhuqing in surprise. He hadn't expected absorbing the Lovesick Heartbreak Red to awaken another martial soul for her!
"Is it the Evil-Eyed White Tiger?"
"Yes."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Chu Sheng and nodded.
After receiving her answer, Chu Sheng formed a conjecture.
The Dai and Zhu families had intermarried for generations, so Zhu Zhuqing carried the Dai Family's bloodline.
It was perfectly normal for her to awaken the Evil-Eyed White Tiger martial soul.
The same thing would happen in the future to a gifted girl named Wu Siduo.
Two kitties come together, fusing into one big kitty!
With that thought, Chu Sheng looked at Zhu Zhuqing and spoke.
"Zhu Zhuqing, you can try self-fusion. If you succeed, it'll be a Self-Fusion Skill with one hundred percent compatibility!"
Ning Rongrong was rather bewildered. She couldn't understand what Chu Sheng was saying.
Evil-Eyed White Tiger?
Self-fusion?
A one-hundred-percent-compatible Self-Fusion Skill?
She had heard of Martial Soul Fusion Skills, but what was this Self-Fusion Skill?
Ning Rongrong didn't understand what Chu Sheng meant, but Zhu Zhuqing did!
Why had the Dai Family and Zhu Family intermarried for generations?
Wasn't it because their inherited martial souls complemented each other, with compatibility exceeding ninety percent?
She had the Nether Civet Martial Soul, and now she also had the Evil-Eyed White Tiger martial soul.
With both martial souls within her, she might be able to perform the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger, all by herself!
Fusing with someone else required their hearts and minds to align and their soul power to complement each other.
Self-fusion came with far fewer concerns.
That was also why it could achieve one hundred percent compatibility.
As for Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, their Martial Soul Fusion Skills were entirely "artificially manufactured."
Zhu Zhuqing's figure flashed, and she instantly appeared in front of Chu Sheng.
She moved so quickly that Ning Rongrong's eyes couldn't even follow her.
She bent down and kissed him, then quickly pulled away.
"Thank you."
The girl's heart brimmed with joy, but she still had her reserve.
Her face scarlet, Zhu Zhuqing pushed open the door and returned to her room.
"Huh??"
"Wait, girl, are you going to play fair or not?"
"I was here first! I was here first!!"
"If anyone gets to kiss him, I should kiss him first!!"
Ning Rongrong stamped her foot and exclaimed angrily.
She likewise bent down, left him a kiss, and chased after Zhu Zhuqing.
Chu Sheng drew in a sharp breath, wanting to speak but stopping himself.
Those two really weren't afraid of fanning the flames!
Fortunately, he was only named Chu Sheng, not an actual beast...
A day later, Chu Sheng and the two girls left Nuoding City and headed toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
Nuoding City wasn't far from the nearest entrance to the Star Dou Great Forest, only a little over nine hundred li away.
Xiao Wu had run so far to attend school after taking human form. It really had been hard on her.
Shrek Academy, Suotuo City.
Yu Xiaogang arrived as promised. When he learned that Tang San had nearly died absorbing a soul ring beyond his level, he almost fainted with anger.
"Little San, as my disciple, how could you be so reckless?"
"Do you know how dangerous it is to absorb a soul ring beyond your level?"
"If you died, what would I do? What would your father do?"
Tang San was usually very obedient and followed almost all his arrangements.
Yet on something as important as absorbing a soul ring, he had actually entertained such a flagrantly defiant idea!
The maximum age for a third soul ring had been established through countless people risking their lives.
Tang San had succeeded this time, but what about next time?
That was also why Yu Xiaogang was angry.
"Teacher, I'm sorry."
Tang San lowered his head without arguing with Yu Xiaogang.
A teacher for a day was a father for life.
Yu Xiaogang would never harm him.
Hearing those words,
Yu Xiaogang fell silent and stopped scolding Tang San.
"Tell me, then. What exactly happened?"
Only after a long while did Yu Xiaogang ask.
Tang San concealed nothing and recounted what had happened.
As Tang San finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang paced around the room, stroking his chin from time to time and occasionally scratching his close-cropped hair.
It was too fantastical!
A Titan Giant Ape?
Taking on a two-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider alone?
And obtaining a Man Faced Demon Spider External Soul Bone?
"Although luck is also part of one's strength, isn't Little San a little too lucky?"
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San with a complicated expression.
"By the way, Teacher, I seem to have forgotten a lot of things. For example, I can't remember any of the details of how I killed the Man Faced Demon Spider."
Taking on a thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider alone?
What kind of joke was that?
"And these things, too. I don't remember what they are or how to use them..."
