"Ding! Xiao Wu's corruption value +0.1." "Ding! Zhu Zhuqing's corruption value +0.1."
Qin Ye listened to the notifications chiming constantly in his ears, feeling as though he were hearing heavenly music.
What an unexpected windfall. Oscar really is useful.
Qin Ye secretly glanced at Oscar.
Looks like I need to get my hands on Oscar's martial soul sooner rather than later.
Oscar watched the girls enjoy his sausages with delight written all over their faces, his eyes wide.
"I-I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"Are my sausages really that delicious?"
Flender, standing nearby, also found it unbelievable. Ning Rongrong and the others had clearly been full of resistance just moments ago, yet a second later, they were fighting over the sausages. What on earth was going on?
Under Flender's bewildered gaze, Ning Rongrong and the others swept the plate clean. Xiao Wu ate the most-the appetite of a hundred-thousand-year soft bone rabbit was no joke.
"Burp."
Xiao Wu let out a satisfied burp, winked playfully at Qin Ye, and made a V sign.
"Brother Ye, I ate the most!"
"Xiao Wu, argh, I'm so mad! I was only one behind." Ning Rongrong sighed regretfully, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was carefully savoring the last sausage nearby.
Zhu Zhuqing did not bite into the sausage right away. Instead, she held its tip in her warm little mouth, tasting it carefully with her tongue.
Zhu Zhuqing looked particularly earnest as she ate, yet those cat ears made her look utterly alluring, like a little enchantress who could bewitch people's hearts.
"Zhu Zhuqing."
Qin Ye walked over and patted Zhu Zhuqing on the shoulder, whispering in her ear, "If you like eating them, I'll feed you every day from now on. Hurry up and finish for now. We're going to cultivate."
At his words, Zhu Zhuqing finished the sausage in two or three bites and nodded at Qin Ye.
Qin Ye turned back to Flender.
"Dean Flender, we've finished today's lesson. We can go cultivate now, right?"
Flender came back to his senses and nodded slightly. "O-of course you can." He felt as though he might have been seeing things. Had what Zhu Zhuqing held in her mouth just now really been nothing more than a sausage?
Was the Big Sausage Oscar made really that delicious?
Then Flender seemed to remember something and hastily added another reminder.
"But tomorrow, Zhao Wuji will take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to help Oscar hunt for his third soul ring. This will be a chance for you to gain experience too. Remember not to be late."
"All right, Dean. If there's nothing else, we'll be going."
Qin Ye left with the three girls, leaving Tang San and the others behind.
By now, Tang San's gaze toward Oscar was thick with murderous intent.
Damn it, you dared to sully my Xiao Wu. Oscar, I'll remember this! Xiao Wu, I never imagined you liked eating sausages so much. If I'd known, I should have fed you your fill sooner, so you'd never be able to leave me.
Tang San only hated himself for not discovering Xiao Wu's preference sooner, but he would never have imagined that Oscar was being wrongfully blamed.
By now, Xiao Wu's heart had long since taken Qin Ye's shape.
"Brother Ye, can we cultivate just like this?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
Qin Ye and the others sat in a circle on the freshly cleaned floor.
The four clasped one another's hands tightly, as though an invisible thread connected them.
"That's right." Qin Ye nodded. "In a moment, I'll circulate my soul power and turn it into a black dragon that will travel through all four of our bodies. You only need to pour your own soul power into the black dragon to continually hone and improve your cultivation."
"This cultivation method belongs only to us. I won't teach it to outsiders. With this method, I can use my innate full soul power talent to guide your cultivation, while the soul power you send in can nourish me in return and increase my cultivation speed."
"It's a win-win partnership. Now, close your eyes, everyone. I'm going to start mobilizing my soul power."
All four closed their eyes at the same time. The heart demon power within Qin Ye continuously traveled through their bodies, and gradually, the phantom of a black dragon condensed between his brows.
The next instant, the black dragon began winding through Xiao Wu's and the others' meridians. Their martial souls immediately resonated with it, following the black dragon's pace almost instinctively as they poured their soul power into it.
Qin Ye had been right. This method could indeed speed up the girls' cultivation, but there was one point he had yet to explain in detail.
At present, Qin Ye was essentially treating Xiao Wu and the others as accelerators for his cultivation, using his innate full soul power as the baseline to multiply his cultivation speed.
This black dragon was the fruit of all four of their combined cultivation efforts. With the three girls accelerating it, Qin Ye's cultivation speed increased directly to five times its original rate!
However, the right to decide how this black dragon was ultimately distributed lay in Qin Ye's hands.
If he wished, he could claim the entire black dragon for himself and greatly increase his soul power cultivation.
Alternatively, Qin Ye could guide the black dragon into someone else's body, using his own soul power to help that person cultivate.
At present, Xiao Wu and the others' soul power levels were all approaching their thresholds, while Qin Ye was only at level 11. In other words, even if Qin Ye truly divided it equally, once the girls broke through to level 30, they could only work for him for free.
"Master, it's already been six hours. Xiao Wu and the others are nearly out of soul power."
The black dragon traveling through their four bodies had grown to a full three meters in length! It circled continuously above their heads.
"All right, I understand."
Qin Ye opened his eyes, and the black dragon immediately broke apart, turning into four streams of power that flowed into their bodies.
Qin Ye's distribution strategy was to take two shares for himself, while Xiao Wu and the others split the remaining three shares equally. Since Qin Ye possessed innate full soul power, they were not losing out compared with cultivating on their own.
In the future, if he needed to help the girls quickly improve their cultivation, Qin Ye could allocate more to them and use the opportunity to earn their gratitude.
That made it simply perfect!
"Amazing! I feel like my cultivation speed was twice as fast as usual! Is this the cultivation speed of someone with innate full soul power?" Zhu Zhuqing sensed the condensed soul power within her in astonishment.
She had thought evolving her martial soul was already the greatest help Qin Ye could offer her. She had never imagined he had a method like this too!
Now, Zhu Zhuqing felt that her original choice had been absolutely right. Qin Ye truly was the person she had needed to find.
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong reacted much the same way, both casting grateful looks at Qin Ye.
"Brother Ye, thank you. You're clearly the lowest-level one among us, yet you're still willing to take time out to guide our cultivation. We're truly touched." Ning Rongrong pressed her palms together and spoke gratefully.
As the biggest winner of this cultivation session, Qin Ye even scratched his head a little sheepishly.
"Haha, not at all. You're my little sisters. Of course I have to take care of you."
Qin Ye did not tell them that his soul power had already reached level 14.
In just six hours, without relying on immortal herbs or absorbing soul rings, he had gained three levels through cultivation alone!
With the help of the Shrek Seven Devils, Qin Ye would not be far from obtaining his second soul ring.
(A little cultivation cheat here. The protagonist will have to fight the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny later, and if his cultivation doesn't rise soon, the power scaling could easily fall apart. Dear readers, please understand.)
