"The taste is alright."
"Shall I peel it for you?"
"No need, it's too much trouble."
"It's no trouble at all!"
"..."
The scene was somewhat bizarre for a moment. Ning Fengzhi and the other two looked at Ning Rongrong, who was actually peeling shrimp for Xuan Ming and even feeding him directly, with disbelief.
No, when did this ancestor become so easy to please?
You've got it, kid!
"This world judges by appearances..." Xue Qinghe's lips twitched slightly; he wasn't particularly surprised by this scene.
When Xuan Ming is silent, he is incredibly alluring to young girls!
Many times when Xuan Ming acted impulsively, he could refrain from striking, partly because the guy was good-looking, and he really couldn't bear to hit him.
This appearance can indeed greatly influence how others perceive it.
Of course, a large part of the reason is that this guy is still young.
It would be truly terrifying if an eight-year-old child had absolutely no naivety.
However, compared to Xue Qinghe's composure, Chen Xin and Gu Rong's expressions were somewhat strained.
They tried their best to coax him for ages, but the little darling wasn't happy at all.
This brat not only had a long face, but he also made Ning Rongrong peel shrimp for him and feed them to him!
We've only just met!
What will happen in the future?
"..."
Sensing the rise of two extremely strong malices, Xuan Ming looked up at Chen Xin and Gu Rong, then at Ning Rongrong who was staring at him expectantly.
"I might get beaten up."
"Huh?" Ning Rongrong was taken aback and turned to look over.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong instantly reverted to their elder-like loving demeanor, looking at her with smiles.
" Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, you should eat too." Ning Rongrong was quite perceptive; she grabbed a shrimp with her little hands and went over to feed each of them one.
"Dad, I peeled one for you too, you can have it."
"Brother Crown Prince, you have one too."
"..."
Thanks to Ning Rongrong Rongrong's consistent and thorough feeding, the meal came to a peaceful end.
At least Chen Xin and Gu Rong didn't erupt on the spot.
"Since we've come all this way, why don't we stay a few more days?" Ning Fengzhi said.
"This..." Xue Qinghe looked at Xuan Ming, about to say something, when he suddenly realized that the guy had closed his eyes and was meditating again!
Damn! You really are racing against time, huh?!
Xuan Ming can talk while meditating, and he can even meditate anytime, anywhere without affecting his other actions.
When this guy deliberately closes his eyes, there's no other explanation; he simply doesn't want to talk to anyone!
"His Soul Power fluctuations didn't stop while he was eating, so I thought he was using his Martial Soul to eat, but now..." Gu Rong narrowed his eyes.
"Has he been meditating the whole time?"
"That's his talent; he has two hearts," Xue Qinghe said.
"Being able to do two unrelated things at the same time is not simply multitasking, but rather having absolute focus on both things."
"Two hearts absolutely focused?" Chen Xin's eyes changed slightly.
"There's such a talent?"
"After investigation, the three members of the teaching committee of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy believe that this is caused by the Martial Soul Mutation the Xuan Ming Martial Soul," Xue Qinghe said.
" The Meng Shenji Education Committee said that Xuan Ming's Beast Martial Soul should have given birth to an independent consciousness. However, it seems that due to the incomplete mutation and the incomplete initial awakening, his Martial Soul became entangled with his own spirit. His own consciousness invaded the Beast Martial Soul, destroying the consciousness that the Beast Martial Soul should have given birth to. Then... he had two thoughts."
"Schizophrenia?" Gu Rong said.
"Isn't this a bit dangerous?"
"Even the Education Commission member Meng Shenji said that he was only alive because he was incredibly lucky," Xue Qinghe said.
"However, this was the first time the three education committee members had encountered such a situation, and they didn't have any good solutions. Moreover, Xuan Ming hadn't had any problems before, so it seemed his two thoughts had stabilized, and they didn't interfere further."
Xuan Ming's problems are all very troublesome, and they are almost all the kind that can only be addressed one step at a time.
Fortunately, these problems seem to have reached a strange balance and haven't really erupted.
"Brother Xuan Ming, this..." Ning Rongrong pointed to the two dragon heads on Xuan Ming's back.
"Can I touch it?"
"No," Xuan Ming said.
"I'll just touch it once, that's all!"
I don't care if you get bitten.
Chapter 94 No Choice
"Oh..."
Seeing Xuan Ming's attitude, Ning Rongrong lowered her head in disappointment.
" Rongrong, don't be afraid. Grandpa Bone will help you control him. You can touch him if you want," Gu Rong said.
Xuan Ming opened his eyes, glanced at Gu Rong, and said, "Are you going to act like an old man too?"
Gu Rong narrowed his eyes. "Kid, what did you say?"
Ning Fengzhi quickly grabbed Gu Rong and said through telepathy, " Uncle Bone, don't do anything rash. This child can't be scared. If you fight him, he'll risk his life."
"Are you out of your mind?" Gu Rong frowned slightly.
"What's the meaning?"
" Qinghe has emphasized to me many times before that we can't confront Xuan Ming head-on. If you threaten him with your life, he'll give up," Ning Fengzhi said.
Gu Rong's eye twitched slightly. "So rebellious?"
"Two years ago, he wasn't even Soul Master, yet he dared to fight to the death. If you were to fight him now, he'd probably fight you to the death right away," Ning Fengzhi said.
That kid still remembers Chen Xin's test last time!
Children can be very stubborn; if Gu Rong were to do it again, there would be no room for negotiation.
Since it was getting late, Xue Qinghe agreed to Ning Fengzhi's suggestion to stay overnight and return to Heaven Dou City the next day.
In the evening, Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi to discuss important national affairs, leaving Xuan Ming to Ning Rongrong, saying that children would have more to talk about.
Ultimately, Xuan Ming was less than three years older than Ning Rongrong.
To avoid being nagged by Xue Qinghe, Xuan Ming accompanied Ning Rongrong as they strolled around Seven Treasure City.
He used to be frequently dragged by Dugu Yan to stroll around Heaven Dou City, but back then Dugu Yan had a perfectly legitimate reason.
He wanted everyone in Heaven Dou City to know him, so that if anyone acted recklessly and caused trouble again, no one would turn a blind eye like before.
However, it didn't really matter. He mostly stayed at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where teachers were always watching over him, so there wouldn't be any problems. Even when he left the academy, he always traveled with Dugu Yan and the other girl.
Many Beast Soul Master have bodies that are different from ordinary people due to their Martial Soul, but at least they are still considered human. Someone like him, who directly grows two dragons on his back, is extremely rare. Therefore, every time he goes out on the street, he is looked at by countless people like a monkey, who whisper and gossip about him.
bother!
"Brother Xuan Ming, are you unhappy?"
Ning Rongrong, who was showing Xuan Ming, suddenly stopped.
"No," Xuan Ming said.
"I just don't like crowded, noisy places."
"Then I'll take you to a less crowded place to play." Ning Rongrong turned around and pulled Xuan Ming towards the back mountain of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The back mountain is a key area of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach it. Therefore, after a while, there were hardly any people to be seen there.
The night behind the mountain is quiet and mysterious. The moonlight, like a veil, gently falls on the winding path, draping everything in a silvery glow.
The roadside flowers and plants swayed gently in the breeze, carrying the cool air unique to the night, and the occasional chirping of insects added to the tranquility.
Ning Rongrong pulled Xuan Ming along at a jog until they reached an open meadow before stopping.
The grass looked as if it had been coated with a layer of silver frost by the moonlight, soft and tranquil.
Several mountain peaks in the distance appeared and disappeared in the night, like a light ink landscape painting. Occasionally, the cries of owls could be heard from the mountains, making the back mountain even more serene.
"Brother Xuan Ming, look, isn't this place beautiful?" Ning Rongrong let go of Xuan Ming's hand, opened her arms, and twirled happily on the grass, her skirt fluttering in the wind like a graceful butterfly.
"Yes, it's beautiful," Xuan Ming replied softly.
He rarely had the opportunity to appreciate the night view like this. In the past, in Heaven Dou City, the nights were always brightly lit and noisy, and it was rare to see such a pure starry sky.
Moreover, he used to be so busy cultivating that he lived a precarious life and had no time for such things.
Ning Rongrong skipped over to Xuan Ming and sat down next to him. "Brother Xuan Ming, can you tell me about your time at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
She rested her chin on her hands, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Xuan Ming with great curiosity.
"Nothing interesting, just cultivation," Xuan Ming said.
Aside from academic classes, he spent all his time cultivating, practicing his two thoughts, and controlling his Martial Soul.
As your Soul Power Level increases, your Martial Soul will become more powerful and more difficult to control. Therefore, training in Martial Soul control is very important.
Others only need to control one Martial Soul, but he has to control Martial Soul.
Because his Black Dragon Martial Soul is too closely connected to his body, as his Soul Power Level increases, even without additional Soul Ring, his Black Dragon Martial Soul is becoming stronger, and his Innate Domain is also getting stronger.
He has too many things to do and can't stay idle at all.
"All about cultivation? Do you really enjoy cultivation?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"Cultivation must be boring, right?"
"I don't like it, and it is indeed very boring, but I have no choice," Xuan Ming said.
"No choice... what does that mean?" Ning Rongrong asked, puzzled.
"If I don't cultivate, I might not see tomorrow's sun," Xuan Ming said.
This talent for cultivation is his only value and his guarantee of survival.
The reason he can stand up to Qian Renxue and has survived until now is all because of his talent. Without this talent, he would have died long ago.
Similarly, if he doesn't maintain this value, he might not even be able to save his life.
Moreover, the Blood Spear is becoming increasingly powerful, and if he can't keep up with it, he will be devoured.
"Brother Xuan Ming, are you in some kind of trouble?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"Tell me, I can help you. Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone can help."
"No need, you can't help me anyway," Xuan Ming said.
"I..."
"Stop talking."
"Oh..." Ning Rongrong didn't say anything more and slowly leaned against Xuan Ming.
Xuan Ming glanced at the cautious Ning Rongrong, said nothing, closed his eyes, and began cultivating.
