"My God, my God, I actually reached level 38! I leveled up five times in a row! I've never leveled up this fast even in my wildest dreams!" Oscar exclaimed excitedly. " Boss Qi, come on, let me give you a kiss!"
"Sigh! Forget it, just kiss him when the Xiao San wakes up!" Qi Ling stopped Oscar.
"Seriously, Xiao Ao, what are you yelling about! It's just a five-level increase, look how excited you are, it's not even as much as my level!" Ning Rongrong's voice came from the side. At this moment, the light around her had completely subsided, and her right hand was holding her Martial Soul Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
" Rongrong, how many levels have you leveled up? You're not higher than me, are you?" Oscar asked.
"Hmph, I've leveled up by a full six levels, and I'm level thirty-seven now!" Ning Rongrong said proudly.
"My God, am I dreaming? If cultivation is this easy, then why bother with all this hard work? We might as well just eat grass every day!" Oscar couldn't help but exclaim.
Qi Ling laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid of overeating grass every day? You can't eat too much of these herbs; it's harmful. Besides, if your foundation isn't solid, you won't go far. We should proceed cautiously and steadily for now."
Just then, Xiao Wu looked at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in Ning Rongrong's hand and suddenly said strangely, "Hey, Rongrong, why does your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda look different from before?"
"Huh? Really? I also feel like there have been some changes, but I can't quite put my finger on what they are." Ning Rongrong asked, puzzled.
Qi Ling naturally knew where Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul had mutated, so she laughed and said, "You two, count how many floors this tower has now."
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were taken aback, then counted up the floors one by one, and discovered that Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had now become nine floors!
"Nine stories, nine stories..." Ning Rongrong excitedly covered her mouth. What a nine-story Glazed Tile Pagoda meant was something only the direct descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect knew; it was simply indescribable.
"Sigh, and look, Rongrong, it seems like there's a dragon tattooed on your Glazed Tile Pagoda! I wonder what its purpose is," said the observant Xiao Wu.
Ning Rongrong then discovered that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda —no, it should now be called the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda —was actually tattooed with a domineering divine Divine Dragon, which coiled from the top of the pagoda all the way to the bottom, completely surrounding the entire Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Upon seeing the dragon, Ning Rongrong naturally looked at Qi Ling, because she remembered that she had consumed the Dragon Blood Aromatic Silk Beauty, and wasn't this dragon a symbol of Qi Ling?
The fact that her own Martial Soul was actually engraved with Qi Ling's mark was just too romantic! Ning Rongrong blushed involuntarily, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.
The Grandmaster successfully completed the absorption at this time. He had already obtained his Third Soul Ring, so his Soul Power was greatly enhanced this time, and he now had level 35 Soul Power.
In the end, only Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San remained, and not long after, the two of them woke up one after the other and completed their absorption.
The pink mist surrounding Zhu Zhuqing gradually dissipated, revealing Zhu Zhuqing true form. From the outside, she didn't look much different; she was still as large and firm as ever. But for some reason, the feeling she gave off was completely different.
Soon, they realized that Zhu Zhuqing was different. After she opened her eyes, she murmured softly, her eyes sweeping over everyone in the room, and every man whose gaze fell upon her felt a stirring in his heart.
Zhu Zhuqing's usual icy demeanor had completely vanished! She was like a natural beauty, every move she made exuding a captivating charm that could set any man's blood boiling.
These actions all seemed to be done unconsciously by Zhu Zhuqing. This Charm and captivating feeling had become her aura, making people feel that there was no contradiction at all.
However, upon noticing the way people were looking at her, Zhu Zhuqing immediately snapped back to reality, slightly startled. Then, the Charm feeling vanished instantly, and she reverted to her icy demeanor.
Amidst everyone's sighs of regret, Tang San awoke. His eyes shone with dazzling golden light, and his pupils had turned completely purple-gold, clearly indicating that his Purple Demon Eye had reached their full potential.
Just then, Tang San's gaze swept over everyone, then suddenly landed on Xiao Wu, and he exclaimed in surprise, " Xiao Wu, you..."
"Snap!" A crisp sound interrupted Tang San's words. He covered his head, turned around with a bewildered look, and saw Qi Ling's all-knowing gaze.
"Big brother, did you... you knew all along?" Tang San asked in shock. This was far more shocking to him than learning Xiao Wu's true identity.
"Of course I know, Xiao San. I know everything about you two, I've always known," Qi Ling said with a smile.
"All along? Did you know from the very beginning, when we became sworn brothers? Then why did you still..."
"Smack!" Another merciless iron palm strike landed on Tang San's head. Qi Ling laughed, "What difference does it make whether you know or not? Xiao San, I've said before, no matter who you are, to me, you are all my younger brothers and sisters!"
"Big brother, I..." Tang San didn't know what to say. All along, his father Tang Hao, had been rather insignificant, but Tang San had never felt lonely. It was precisely because of his eldest brother, Qi Ling, that he truly embodied the meaning of "an elder brother is like a father."
"Big brother," Tang San suddenly laughed, "Meeting you is truly the greatest honor of my life!"
Qi Ling laughed at this moment. Wasn't he the same? He had always been alone. If it weren't for Xiao Wu and Tang San's company, he probably wouldn't have grown up to be who he is now.
"Slap!" Another slap landed on Tang San's head. He rubbed his head and asked in confusion, "Big brother, why are you hitting me again?"
"Haha, who told you to talk so much! Besides, I can hit you whenever I want, do you dare to object?" Qi Ling laughed.
Tang San could only smile helplessly. No matter how he acted in front of others, in front of Qi Ling, he seemed to always be just a younger brother.
" Brother Qi, Brother San, what are you two doing here? Brother Qi, you hit Brother San so many times, are you bullying him?" Xiao Wu walked over and said to the two of them.
"Haha, it's nothing, Xiao Wu. I'm not bullying the Xiao San, this is a slap of love, it's love!" Qi Ling laughed.
"Yes, Big Brother is right. Xiao Wu, thank you for being there too!" Tang San said.
"Honestly, you two are acting strange! Never mind you, I'm going to find Zhu Zhuqing and Rongrong!" Xiao Wu said.
