Xiao Wu's naive words were met with disdain from the little cat.
"Help each other? I'd be thanking the heavens if they didn't stab me in the back."
Xiao Wu clicked her tongue and looked at Zhu Zhuqing, then turned to her own little sister, as if asking if it was true.
Ning Rongrong nodded affirmatively.
"She's right. It's said that this system is to ensure that talented princes ascend to the throne and to guarantee the stability of the throne."
Having learned about Zhu Zhuqing's experiences, the two girls cast aside their earlier unpleasantness and looked at the little cat with pity.
"So, that lecherous Tiger is a prince of the Star Luo Empire?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, confirming Ning Rongrong's guess.
"He couldn't stand the First Prince's targeting, so he left me alone in Star Luo and ran to the Heaven Dou Empire. I thought he would cultivate diligently here, but..."
The little cat couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence, her voice gradually becoming choked with sobs. To be honest, she saw no hope for the future.
The little rabbit didn't know how to comfort her for a moment, and she looked down on that lecherous Tiger even more. Was this something a human would do? Leaving his fiancée to face danger alone while he ran off to indulge in pleasure.
After a long silence, Ning Rongrong seemed to have made up her mind. She took out a jade bottle from her Soul Tool and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Rongrong, Big Brother Ning Bei doesn't allow you to give pills to others randomly."
Xiao Wu recognized that Ning Rongrong was holding the jade bottle containing the Mind Awakening Pill and quickly tried to stop her.
Ning Rongrong smiled slyly.
"We can't just watch Zhu Zhuqing cultivate without any hope, can we? Besides, as long as you don't say anything, and I don't say anything, who will know that the pill was given to someone else?"
Xiao Wu thought that made sense and nodded, no longer objecting.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the jade bottle in her hand with a blank expression, not knowing what the two girls were up to.
"This is?"
"This is the Mind Awakening Pill unique to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which can increase Soul Power cultivation speed by 40%. I'm sure you'll find it useful."
The little cat's beautiful eyes widened. Such a thing existed?
"Is it really okay for me to use something so precious? And didn't Xiao Wu say that your brother doesn't allow you to give it to others?"
"Oh, it's okay. As long as you don't go around telling everyone, who will know that I gave it to you? Xiao Wu won't betray me, and my brother won't find out."
Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a smug expression, feeling a sense of accomplishment from helping someone and receiving their gratitude. However, she didn't notice that the little rabbit and the little cat were looking at her back with horrified expressions.
"What's wrong? Why do you two have such expressions?"
Before the two girls could answer, Ning Rongrong's temples were suddenly attacked.
Ning Bei made fists with both hands, the middle fingers bent and protruding, and rewarded her with a severe pounding of sugar-coated chestnuts.
"I'm not supposed to know, huh? You're quite generous, aren't you? You don't cultivate properly yourself, and you give my pills away?"
"Ah! Ah! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... I won't dare to do it again."
The little girl's scream instantly echoed through the forest.
"Big Brother Ning Bei, why are you here?"
The little rabbit looked at him in surprise, skillfully hugging her head, afraid of being rewarded with a set of sugar-coated chestnuts as well.
"Wuwuwu, you bad brother, you hit too hard."
Ning Rongrong, released from his grip, covered her head, looking at her brother with teary eyes, her little mouth pouting high.
Zhu Zhuqing was secretly surprised. Wasn't this the person staying opposite her in the Rose Hotel? She didn't expect him to be Ning Rongrong's brother. Seeing his gaze sweep over her, she began to feel nervous, afraid that he would misunderstand that she was tricking Ning Rongrong out of pills.
"This... I... I didn't..."
Looking at the little cat holding the Jade Bottle and speaking incoherently, Ning Bei chuckled.
"Forget it, since this girl gave it to you, just take it and use it, but remember, don't tell anyone, understand?"
Zhu Zhuqing breathed a heavy sigh of relief, then her eyes filled with excitement. She saw a hope for survival.
"Thank you, Big Brother Ning Bei!"
"Tsk, you hid from me when you saw me at the hotel before, and now you're calling me Big Brother Ning Bei?"
The little cat's face flushed red upon hearing Ning Bei's teasing, and she didn't know what to say.
"I... I... I thought you were..."
"Someone sent by your sister?"
"Yes, yes."
"You know I'm not now?"
"Yes!"
After teasing the little cat for a while, Ning Bei turned his gaze to the two girls again.
"You guys are pretty bold, sneaking off here."
The two girls' hearts skipped a beat, then they exchanged a glance, and each skillfully climbed onto Ning Bei's arm.
"Oh, brother, people are bored staying in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and everyone else is afraid of us and won't play with us."
"That's right... that's right... those guys like A'Dai now turn around and run when they see us, like they've seen a ghost."
Ning Bei looked at the two speechlessly. You don't even think about why people are running.
"Alright, I won't drag you back. Go back and cultivate properly when you've had enough fun, you hear? If you put in half as much effort as this little cat, you'd be Soul Kings by now."
"Tsk, it's not that easy."
"What did you say?"
The little rabbit shrank her neck and put on a flattering expression again.
"I said, we will definitely cultivate properly when we get back."
"Well, if your cultivation satisfies me at the end of the year, I'll give you a big gift, otherwise I'll give it to Big Brother and A'Dai and the others."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong immediately thought of the Immortal Herb called Qiluo Tulip, her eyes lit up, and she nodded eagerly.
"Don't worry, Big Brother, I will definitely keep an eye on Xiao Wu and make sure she cultivates properly."
"Alright, I'm leaving. Remember, don't take out the pills casually again. Do you understand the saying 'to possess a jade is to invite crime'?"
"Got it!"
Ning Bei nodded to the little cat Zhu Zhuqing and then disappeared into the forest.
The two girls secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad they weren't caught and taken back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to be imprisoned.
"That scared me to death, I thought I was going to get beaten too!"
Ning Rongrong glared at the little rabbit Xiao Wu unhappily.
"What are you afraid of? Afraid my brother will catch you and make you have little bunny babies?"
Xiao Wu instantly transformed into a steam-powered machine gun and started playing around with Ning Rongrong, while the little cat Zhu Zhuqing looked at the two of them and smiled, a rare sight.
In the evening, the group, all packed up, arrived at the entrance of the academy, where Zhao Wuji was already waiting for them.
"Is everyone here? Then we're ready to go."
The group looked at the bruised and swollen Zhao Wuji and found it amusing, but they didn't dare to laugh too loudly.
"You little brats, what are you laughing at? Do you want a beating?"
"What little brats? Why not little Bear Blinds?"
Hearing Xiao Wu muttering under her breath, Zhao Wuji immediately glared over.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, I said let's get going."
"Okay, let's go then. Run to the town near the Star Dou Great Forest, and don't fall behind."
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar looked pained upon hearing Zhao Wuji's instructions, clearly not experiencing this for the first time.
Ning Rongrong looked over, puzzled.
"Oscar, is the Star Dou Great Forest far from here?"
"Haha, not far, just a few hundred kilometers."
"What?"
Ning Rongrong looked at Zhao Wuji in front of her with a dumbfounded expression. Couldn't we just buy a carriage? I'd even pay for it.
