"Huh? Rongrong? Medicine seller? How did you two get together?"
When the Three-Five Combination met the Rong-Qing Combination, Xiao Wu asked curiously.
"What do you mean, get together? Don't talk nonsense. What if Brother Yexuan misunderstands?"
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong spoke with displeasure written all over her face.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ning Rongrong speechlessly. She was even guarding against that?
"Rongrong? Why didn't you return to the academy tonight? You can't think that just because you're rich, you can pay tuition without studying, can you?"
Shrek Academy now had only two girls. If Ning Rongrong left too, Xiao Wu would feel somewhat uncomfortable.
She still hoped Zhu Zhuqing would return and live with her.
"Study what? Running every day? This young lady has a better cultivation setting now."
Ning Rongrong raised her swanlike neck. When her eyes swept toward Tang San, boundless hatred surged from them.
Tang San looked puzzled and asked:
"Ning Rongrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Have I offended you?"
Tang San wanted to disassociate himself from today's attempt to assassinate Ning Rongrong.
After all, he hadn't exposed his true identity then.
Although he had thrown hidden weapons, he wasn't the only person who could throw knives.
"Hmph! Tang San, stop playing dumb in front of this young lady. Now that I've run into you, just watch me beat you both into the ground!"
Ning Rongrong spoke coldly.
Then she released her Martial Soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
The fluctuations of Soul Power from her body startled both Tang San and Xiao Wu!
"Rank twenty-seven Soul Power! You... how did you suddenly level up!"
When they had fought Zhao Wuji together yesterday, hadn't Ning Rongrong only been rank twenty-six?
"Could it be... the Mystic Water Pill really can increase Soul Power!!"
Tang San's gaze narrowed. This Mystic Water Pill truly was a supreme pill. He really wanted to obtain it!
But he had also witnessed Maple Forest Evening's strength. A mere maid possessed the strength of a Soul Douluo, and even had two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings!
"Hehe! Isn't it perfectly normal for this young lady to level up?" Ning Rongrong raised her chin and glanced at Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing also activated Martial Soul Possession, and the fluctuations of her Soul Power made all three of them tremble even more.
It was because Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power had already reached rank thirty. Once she absorbed another Soul Ring, she would be a three-ring Soul Elder.
"You... weren't you only rank twenty-eight yesterday?" This time, it was Ning Rongrong's turn to cry out.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression was cold. She had seen Xiao Yexuan's true strength, so she felt no pride in her current power.
"Could it be a Soul Bone..."
Ning Rongrong soon thought of a reason.
Zhu Zhuqing must have drawn a Soul Bone too, and equipped it as well.
Tang San and Xiao Wu could no longer remain calm.
If they had Mystic Water Pills, they should have even better pills.
Why were there so many good things inside Maple Forest Evening?
If only he, Tang San, could obtain them.
Unfortunately, he was male and couldn't enter Maple Forest Evening at all.
Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled.
She wasn't a rabbit who enjoyed cultivating.
She also hoped to have such wonderful pills to improve her cultivation.
Although Maple Forest Evening's rent was very expensive, both girls had gained such opportunities inside. She felt it was still well worth it.
So she planned to go take a look tonight.
"Xiao Wu, let's go!"
Now wasn't the time to let their thoughts wander elsewhere. They were still Soul Fighting.
Tang San shouted, and Xiao Wu quickly activated Martial Soul Possession.
She was a Power Attack System Battle Soul Master, and she charged swiftly toward Ning Rongrong.
Kill the support-type Soul Master first in battle. That was a basic principle of combat.
Ning Rongrong applied both her Soul Skills to Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing had a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. What the hell did she have to fear?
Zhu Zhuqing's figure flashed, and lightning cracked.
She was already beside Xiao Wu.
"That's Three Thousand Lightning Movement! Zhu Zhuqing really learned that cultivation method?" Hearing the thunder, Ning Rongrong felt her body go somewhat weak.
Her legs involuntarily pressed together.
Her face flushed slightly.
Zhu Zhuqing flashed swiftly again, appeared behind Xiao Wu, and gave her a swipe with her claws.
Unable to dodge, Xiao Wu was struck by Zhu Zhuqing and rolled several times across the ground.
Yet before Xiao Wu had even stopped rolling, Zhu Zhuqing flashed in front of her again and delivered another kick.
It was like kicking a ball.
Seeing his little sister bullied like this, Tang San's eyes instantly reddened.
Blue Silver Grass shot toward Zhu Zhuqing.
At the same time, he took out hidden weapons one after another, intending to shoot Zhu Zhuqing full of holes.
But Zhu Zhuqing was simply too fast. Tang San's Purple Demon Eye couldn't track her figure at all.
A hundred-thousand-year leg bone, Three Thousand Lightning Movement, and Ning Rongrong's support on top of that.
Zhu Zhuqing's speed could be said to have been raised to the utmost limit.
It would have been strange if Tang San could match her.
After probing for a while, Zhu Zhuqing clawed Tang San across the back.
Tang San immediately felt a searing pain.
Then he fired hidden weapons directly in every direction.
They whizzed through the air as he hoped to hit Zhu Zhuqing through luck.
But it was fucking useless.
Zhu Zhuqing attacked again. Tang San took a claw strike to his side, and half his arm nearly went numb.
"Is dodging all you can do?" Tang San tried to provoke Zhu Zhuqing.
"Are you stupid? Zhu Zhuqing is an agility attack-type Soul Master. She'd have to be an idiot to clash head-on with you!"
Ning Rongrong mocked him outright. Watching Tang San beaten until he couldn't fight back made her feel thoroughly satisfied.
"Hmph! You're courting death!"
Tang San aimed his hidden weapons at Ning Rongrong. Even if he couldn't hit Zhu Zhuqing, couldn't he take down Ning Rongrong?
But before the hidden weapons could touch Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing had already intercepted them.
"Charm~!"
Xiao Wu scrambled up from the ground in a sorry state and used her second Soul Skill to charm Ning Rongrong.
She wanted to cut off Ning Rongrong's support for Zhu Zhuqing.
And give her Third Brother a chance to take Zhu Zhuqing down.
But Ning Rongrong merely felt her mind go blank before she was fine again.
Although her Soul Power wasn't as high as Xiao Wu's.
She had spent quite some time practicing splitting her mind in the Simulation Pod, controlling two teams in Soul Fighting at once.
Her spiritual power far exceeded what it had been before.
A mere Charm wasn't much use against her.
Xiao Wu was already fortunate not to suffer a backlash.
Zhu Zhuqing moved even faster.
She appeared beside Tang San again and attacked once more.
This time, Tang San's other arm was hit, and he had almost no fighting strength left.
"Third Brother! We... we surrender! We surrender! Stop hitting him!"
Xiao Wu saw how miserably Tang San had been beaten. After being scratched by the cat three times, he was covered in blood.
Even as anger and fury rose in her heart, she looked forward to Maple Forest Evening even more.
It could actually improve Zhu Zhuqing's strength so much. She really wanted an opportunity like that too.
With both arms disabled, Tang San couldn't use his hidden weapons.
As for Blue Lewd Entanglement? Not only could it not catch Zhu Zhuqing, but her sharp claws treated it like a grass-cutting game.
Tang San could only concede as well.
There was no helping it. Zhu Zhuqing was too fast, and they had become nothing but living targets.
Seeing Tang San's miserable state, Xiao Yexuan secretly savored it too.
Then, rather than waiting for Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, he returned to Maple Forest Evening alone and quietly waited for Tang San and Xiao Wu to pass by, so he could make a sales pitch to his little sister Xiao Wu.
