Following the Dragon Maiden's instructions, Qi Ling sat down in front of Zhu Zhuqing. The Dragon Maiden looked at Qi Ling and finally asked, "Master, shall I really begin? It will hurt a little, so please bear with it."
Qi Ling slowly nodded, and then the Dragon Maiden reached out and placed her hand on Qi Ling's head, channeling her power into Qi Ling's body, using a method similar to " Soul Capturing Technique ".
Of course, what the Dragon Maiden needed was not Qi Ling's complete soul, but only a small part, so it was necessary to cut it up! At this moment, Qi Ling felt what the Dragon Maiden meant by "a little pain".
Even with Qi Ling's willpower, the pain immediately turned his face pale, and cold sweat instantly covered his forehead! This kind of pain, which came from the soul, was the most direct and real pain, and almost no other pain could compare to it.
The moment Qi Ling felt this pain, she felt like everything was about to collapse. Neither her near-death experiences nor the pain of broken bones could compare to this; it was simply terrifying.
Fortunately, the Dragon Maiden knew that no one could endure such pain for long, or they would go insane. So, in an instant, she completed the soul-severing, extracting a portion of Qi Ling's Dragon Soul.
After this part of the Dragon Soul was extracted, it still took on the form of a golden Divine Dragon. The Dragon Maiden did not let everyone examine it closely and immediately injected this part of the Dragon Soul into Zhu Zhuqing's body.
With the help of the Dragon Soul, Zhu Zhuqing's complexion began to improve slowly, and her life force gradually returned. The color of the Soul Ring above her head also gradually deepened.
Finally, when her Soul Ring successfully broke through 500,000 years, Zhu Zhuqing reached her limit again, spitting out a mouthful of blood before slowly collapsing to the side. Qi Ling hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
In Qi Ling's arms, Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened her eyes, looked at Qi Ling in front of her, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Qi Ling, I... I was stubborn again, and I've dragged you down..."
When that power entered her body, Zhu Zhuqing immediately sensed Qi Ling's presence and guessed that Qi Ling was helping her. Obviously, such help couldn't be without a price.
Qi Ling laughed and said, "So you know you've been stubborn again? I've paid a huge price for you. Tell me, how are you going to make it up to me?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Qi Ling and laughed, "My person, my body, my life, my soul—you can take whatever you want. Everything I have already belonged to you."
"Uh..." Qi Ling was stunned. He had forgotten that although Zhu Zhuqing always had a Lingling demeanor, when it came to this kind of thing, she was probably the most willing to go all out, almost on par with Dugu Yan.
"Haha, I was just kidding, Zhu Zhuqing. You should hurry up and absorb your Soul Ring first." Qi Ling said, intending to let go of Zhu Zhuqing, but she was suddenly grabbed by the collar.
" Qi Ling, you have to take responsibility! I... I also have my limits! Otherwise, I might just follow Xiao Wu's example and Night Raid you at night!" Zhu Zhuqing said, pressing her relentlessly.
" Zhu Zhuqing, don't be like this, everyone's watching!" Qi Ling said helplessly. The girls around her were all looking on with anticipation, and Yu Tianyi's face was flushed with excitement, clearly shocked.
"Then, let's set a time!" Zhu Zhuqing continued, "I don't want to endure this anymore, Qi Ling, do you understand?"
"Okay, okay, I promise you, I promise you!" Qi Ling said helplessly, "Once you absorb the Soul Ring, I'll do whatever you want! Okay?"
Having received Qi Ling's assurance, Zhu Zhuqing finally released Qi Ling with satisfaction. Then, she continued absorbing her own Soul Ring. Yu Tianyi, having nothing to watch, also began to focus her mind and absorb her own Soul Ring.
Qi Ling wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and moved to the side to avoid interfering with the two people absorbing his Soul Ring. But then he noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on him.
"What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me?" Qi Ling said rather guiltily. He knew that what Zhu Zhuqing had just told him had not escaped everyone's ears.
" Qi Ling! I protest!" Ning Rongrong rushed to Qi Ling and said, "I... I'm a young lady from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, you wouldn't be at a disadvantage if you took me! Why haven't you made a move against me yet! Tell me, are you looking down on me!"
"I... I didn't do that. What are you talking about?" Qi Ling said helplessly.
"Darling, I'm not your only concern!" Dugu Yan pouted and said, "Am I not pretty enough? Why aren't you tempted? I've been preparing for so long, and I still haven't succeeded! Darling, your defenses are tighter than a young maiden's!"
" Qi Ling!" Shui Bing'er exclaimed at this moment, "Let's get married!"
Surrounded by the women, Qi Ling, seeing that even Huo Wu and Tuoliya were getting restless and planning to join in, had no choice but to pull the Dragon Maiden over as a shield. "Ahem, I need to go prepare to absorb my God-Given Soul Ring. Dragon Maiden, I... I'll go make some preparations!"
Helpless, the group watched Qi Ling flee, and could only stomp their feet in anger. After all, they knew they shouldn't bother Qi Ling with such matters.
Ning Rongrong, watching Xiao Wu who was just smiling to the side without joining the army to attack Qi Ling, couldn't help but ask, " Xiao Wu, why didn't you ask Qi Ling for help? I think you're the one who should be doing so."
"Huh? I, I'm fine too." Xiao Wu said a little guiltyly, after all, she couldn't very well tell Ning Rongrong that Qi Ling had already agreed to her request.
As Zhu Zhuqing and Yu Tianyi began absorbing the Soul Ring, a golden protective layer had formed around their bodies, like an eggshell protecting them. Once they completed absorbing the Soul Ring, they would naturally emerge from within it.
Before that, they would not be disturbed by any external factors, which meant that they would be protected by the Dragon God. This made Qi Ling feel a little more at ease, because the Dragon Maiden had already told her that when she absorbed the Soul Ring, there would be a great commotion, and it might even cause strange phenomena in the heavens and earth.
Under the Dragon Maiden's command, Qi Ling arrived at the very center of Dragon God Island, preparing to begin absorbing her own Soul Ring. The Dragon Maiden stood by, protecting everyone, for what was about to happen was beyond their ability to bear.
