Ning Bei, who had arrived at Sunset Town ahead of time, was already lying on Dugu Yan's lap, resting with his eyes closed, enjoying the occasional peeled fruit that his woman fed him.
"Seriously, is it really okay for you to bully Rongrong and Xiao Wu like this?"
"How can you call this bullying? This is training their ability to escape."
Dugu Yan glanced helplessly at Ning Bei on her lap; her man was just so mischievous sometimes.
"Are you going Soul Hunting with us later?"
"Sure, I've got nothing better to do anyway."
"By the way, what reward are you planning to give the first place winner later?"
Ning Bei didn't keep her in suspense and directly took out a 50,000-year Exploding Demon Lion Right Arm Bone from his Soul Tool, waving it in front of Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan was astonished by her boyfriend's generosity; who else would use a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone as a game reward?
"After the Soul Master Competition is over, I'll also prepare a suitable Soul Bone for you."
"No need, I have two Soul Bones, which is enough. If I take yours, people will gossip!"
Ning Bei opened his eyes and looked at his girlfriend. Are you being polite with me?
"Don't worry, I've already inquired. The champion prize for this Soul Master Competition is three high-quality ten-thousand-year Soul Bones. I'll get one for everyone on the team by then; it's not just a special treat for you."
Only when Dugu Yan heard him say this did she finally nod in agreement.
Ning Bei's talent put a lot of pressure on her, and she didn't want to be just a pretty face, so she was happy to accept Ning Bei's kindness as long as it wasn't too out of place.
Just as the two of them were being lovey-dovey, a Camouflage Butterfly flew to Ning Bei's fingertip.
This was one that Ning Bei had sent out to keep watch, indicating that the children were almost at Sunset Town.
"Let's go, Yanzi. Let's see who can get this Soul Bone."
"Okay."
He brought Dugu Yan to the edge of the town, and before long, they saw Long Nianbing arrive, panting for breath.
"Second Young Master, I'm first!"
Ning Bei nodded and smiled as he took out the Exploding Demon Lion Right Arm Bone from his Soul Tool and threw it to him.
"Your reward!"
Long Nianbing clumsily caught the flying Soul Bone, his eyes wide. Although he didn't know the exact age of the Soul Bone, he could tell at a glance that it was a top-quality ten-thousand-year Soul Bone.
"Second Young Master, this"
Seeing Long Nianbing start to stutter, Ning Bei, understanding what he was thinking, waved his hand dismissively.
"If I give it to you, just take it. This Soul Bone has nothing to do with the Sect; consider it a personal gift from me. Cultivate well!"
Long Nianbing was overjoyed to hear Ning Bei's words and respectfully bowed.
"Thank you, Second Young Master. I won't let you down!"
Just as the two were talking, A'Dai also arrived in front of them, panting as he looked at everyone.
"Nian Bing, you're too fast! I almost exhausted my Soul Power trying to catch up!"
"Haha, just lucky. My Soul Power is much higher than yours, nothing to be proud of!"
Before long, the rest of the group arrived one after another. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, as agility-based Soul Masters, were fast and arrived in Sunset Town before Ye Yinzhu.
Several minutes later, Ning Rongrong arrived in front of Xiao Wu, huffing and puffing, and immediately started tickling the Little Rabbit.
"Letting you run first, letting you be disloyal!"
Knowing she was in the wrong, Xiao Wu didn't resist and could only beg her little sister for mercy, vowing never to do it again.
Watching the two girls playfully fighting, Ning Bei happily came behind Ning Rongrong and rewarded her with a Sugar-coated Chestnut.
A scream instantly echoed outside Sunset Town.
After a while, Ning Rongrong rubbed her head, looking at her brother with a aggrieved expression.
"Hmph, how can a little support like me run with this group of battle Soul Masters? Big Brother, you're too mean."
Everyone couldn't help but smile at Ning Rongrong's complaint, and they were also curious about what reward he had prepared for Long Nianbing, since the last place had already been punished.
"Big Brother Ning Bei, what's Nian Bing's reward?"
Hearing Xiao Wu's question, Ning Bei looked at Long Nianbing and nodded to him.
"Sister Xiao Wu, Second Young Master has already given me the prize, it's a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone!"
Everyone clicked their tongues in amazement at Long Nianbing's words, marveling at Ning Bei's generosity.
A'Dai and Ye Yinzhu had deep envy in their eyes.
Ning Bei waved his hand and led everyone to the restaurant in the town. It was already noon, and it wouldn't be too late to go Soul Hunting after eating. Besides, everyone needed time to recover their consumed Soul Power.
During the meal, Ning Bei introduced the rewards and opponents of the Soul Master Competition to everyone.
"The champion prize for this Soul Master Competition is three Soul Bones. If you can win the championship, I will take the lead and take out four more Soul Bones, one for each of you."
"So there's no need to envy Nian Bing now!"
Xiao Wu didn't feel anything, she wasn't very interested in Soul Bones, but the others all looked at him with joy.
Seeing this, Ning Bei very appropriately poured a bucket of cold water on them.
"Don't be too happy too soon. There are three Soul Kings in the Spirit Hall Team this time. Don't blame me for not reminding you if you crash then."
"Ah?"
They thought that after taking the Immortal Herb, they would easily win the championship of this competition, but they didn't expect that there were still obstacles ahead.
But the little ones were not intimidated, and they all said that they didn't need to worry, and that they would definitely defeat the Spirit Hall Team.
"That's good, hurry up and finish eating, and seize the time to recover your Soul Power. I'll take you Soul Hunting later."
The little ones nodded and quickened their pace of eating.
With the help of Ning Bei's pills, everyone recovered the Soul Power they had consumed on the road, and set off towards Sunset Forest together.
Arriving at the edge of the forest, Ning Bei looked at the group of little ones beside him.
"I won't take action unless it's absolutely necessary. As teammates in the competition, you should practice your teamwork!"
"Yes, Second Young Master!"
"Got it, Big Brother Ning Bei!"
After discussing, they decided to first hunt a Third Spirit Ring for Zhu Zhuqing, as hunting thousand-year Soul Beasts was relatively easier.
Of course, if they encountered Soul Beasts more suitable for the others along the way, they didn't plan to miss them either.
They quickly arranged their formation, with A'Dai and Long Nianbing leading the way, Zhu Zhuqing protecting Ye Yinzhu and Ning Rongrong in the center, and Xiao Wu bringing up the rear.
Seeing this, Ning Bei summoned the Hurricane Hunting Falcon again, taking Dugu Yan with him into the sky, closely following above the team just in case.
"A Bei, shouldn't I go and cooperate with them?"
Ning Bei rolled his eyes at his girlfriend. Are you sure you're cooperating if you go? If you encounter a Soul Beast, you'll just solve it with a burst of poison mist, right?
"Forget it. If you participate in the cooperation now, it will only make them dependent on your strength, and it may not have the effect of training them."
Dugu Yan nodded and didn't suggest participating in the Soul Hunting anymore. She grabbed a handful of melon seeds from Ning Bei's hand and started munching on them with him.
