Xiao Tian's movements were exceptionally gentle; he slowly extended his other hand and lightly lifted Ning Rongrong's delicate chin.
Then, he kissed her with extreme tenderness.
This feeling made Ning Rongrong uncontrollably want to deeply immerse herself in it, finding it hard to extricate herself.
Xiao Tian then transformed into a baker, determining that Ning Rongrong's 'bread' was meticulously made from wheat flour, and its texture was very soft.
"Yingning~~"
Ning Rongrong, who was passionately kissing Xiao Tian, suddenly felt a strong sense of abnormality in her body, which made her break free from Xiao Tian's grasp. Her pretty face was slightly flushed, and she was very shy, not daring to look at Xiao Tian. She whispered, "Xiao Tian, I…"
Xiao Tian understood. Perhaps Ning Rongrong didn't want to go to the restroom, but rather…
Xiao Tian gently and tenderly said, "Rongrong, your reaction at this moment is perfectly normal. Are you willing…?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Tian clearly felt Ning Rongrong's delicate body tremble slightly. She subtly lifted her head and closed her eyes.
The meaning of this was already self-evident.
After a long while, it wasn't until a ray of morning light shone upon them that Ning Rongrong rubbed her sleepy eyes and woke up. Her first sensation was soreness all over her body.
But when her gaze fell upon Xiao Tian, who was still sound asleep beside her, a hint of tenderness appeared in her eyes. Thinking of last night's cultivation, she felt a little unwilling.
Xiao Tian's stamina was simply too good; she couldn't exhaust him no matter what. She even activated the amplification of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda midway to enhance her own strength, but it was still nothing in the face of Xiao Tian's cultivation.
Ning Rongrong recalled the scene of her begging for mercy and calling him "dad" last night, and she glared at Xiao Tian, who was still asleep, with a hint of petulant anger.
Then she cautiously looked around. At this time, there should be no one in the back mountain. She noticed the scent of heather emanating from her body, along with some strawberry marks. She quietly stood up and went to the nearby lake, carefully stepping into it.
At this moment, Xiao Tian stealthily opened his eyes and looked at Ning Rongrong, who was bathing. In fact, he had woken up long ago; he was just pretending to be asleep.
But immediately, he looked at his 'little son' with some helplessness. This was truly not something he could control; as long as he wasn't an old man, he would have such a reaction every morning.
However, upon seeing Ning Rongrong's fair and rosy delicate body, covered with the 'results of his battle', his reaction became even more intense, completely unaware of what fatigue was!
He also needed a bath!
This reason is very reasonable, right!
One must know that he had been in a state of laboriousness throughout the entire night. Not only did Ning Rongrong's body bear his marks, but faint scratch marks and conspicuous strawberry marks could also be seen on his own body.
Last night, before he even poured Ning Rongrong a cup of warm milk for the evening, he had already drunk a cup of warm seafood soup himself.
Suddenly, Xiao Tian cast his gaze towards Ning Rongrong's position. At that moment, the corners of his mouth slowly curled upwards, revealing a smile with a hint of ill intent.
Subsequently, Xiao Tian moved cautiously, stealthily approaching Ning Rongrong, while deliberately concealing his aura to prevent her from noticing him.
"Ah!"
Ning Rongrong was startled by the sudden movement.
But when she saw that it was Xiao Tian, she breathed a sigh of relief and said coquettishly, "Xiao Tian, you scared me to death! Weren't you just sleeping?"
"Wuwuwu~~"
Towards such an overbearing Xiao Tian, Ning Rongrong's body initially only made a symbolic resistance, but soon, she fully immersed herself in it, beginning to enjoy herself to the fullest.
Perhaps it was because deep down, she knew very well that once they left the back mountain, Xiao Tian would again fall into a busy state. Therefore, at this moment, she yearned to quietly immerse herself in this rare moment, to fully feel and cherish it.
Three hours later, after Xiao Tian erased the traces of the two of them from the area, he held Ning Rongrong's small hand and walked towards the Sect.
Why three hours?
That was because after the two of them played in the water like mandarin ducks, Xiao Tian guarded her, allowing Ning Rongrong to first absorb and integrate the 70,000-year-old Spirit of Wisdom Spirit Bone.
Without any surprises, Ning Rongrong's spirit power directly rose from level forty-six to level fifty. As long as she absorbed her fifth spirit ring, she could become a Spirit King.
If the fifth spirit ring's boost to Ning Rongrong was excluded, according to Xiao Tian's estimation, this Spirit Bone could still provide her with two to three levels of spirit power.
"Xiao Tian, hehe, after I absorbed this Spirit Bone, I found that my mental force seems to have surged a lot, and my control over the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is more precise, not just in Heart Separation Control, but also in tower manipulation. Hmm, this Spirit Bone also provided me with a Spirit Bone Ability called Mental Domain."
"Companions within the Mental Domain will establish a mental connection with each other, sharing vision, and their mental force will be amplified by thirty percent!"
As she finished speaking, Ning Rongrong wrapped her arms around Xiao Tian's waist, rested her head against his chest, rubbed against him, and softly and sweetly said, "This is all because of you, hehe."
Xiao Tian was also slightly shocked by this. Originally, he thought this Spirit Bone would probably provide Ning Rongrong with a Spirit Ability similar to a mental shock, just like Tang San in the original work.
However, Tang San's Spirit Bone Ability in the original work was integrated with Purple Demon Eye, transforming into Purple Demon Divine Light.
But now, this Spirit of Wisdom Spirit Bone actually provided Ning Rongrong with a Domain Ability.
This made Xiao Tian wonder if it was related to Ning Rongrong being a support systemSpirit Master herself, and her Spirit being the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Of course, these were secondary. The most important thing was that Ning Rongrong had better luck. Spirit Bone Abilities are generally abilities that a Spirit Beast possessed during its lifetime. After a Spirit Master absorbs them, this ability will be slightly adjusted based on the Spirit Master's own characteristics, but the overall effect remains unchanged.
Generally speaking, only 100,000-year-old Spirit Beasts can possess Domain Abilities, but this Spirit of Wisdom Spirit Bone can also provide Ning Rongrong with a Spirit Bone Ability similar to a Domain. It must be said that this Spirit Bone is indeed a top-grade item.
Although this Mental Domain is quite a bit weaker than a normal Domain's effect, a Spirit Ability that can amplify mental force is extremely rare now!
No wonder it could shatter and recombine later in the Sea God's trials, evolving to the 100,000-year level. Although there were factors of Sea God opening a back door, this also shows its extraordinariness.
After all, Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and Poseidon's Spirit Bones didn't shatter when their mental force broke through to the vast realm. Did this only happen to Tang San?
Was the Spirit Bone too fragile?
That's certainly not the case. Although a portion of a Spirit Master's mental force will be stored in the Spirit Bone after absorption, once the limit is reached, the remaining mental force will also be stored in their own brain, rather than causing the Spirit Bone to shatter.
It's like how Tang Hao lost twenty levels of spirit power after losing his arms and legs; we didn't see those Spirit Bones shatter due to bearing too much spirit power.
Xiao Tian said indifferently, "Rongrong, your Spirit Bone Ability is good. It can temporarily amplify mental force. Although it didn't give you a mental attack Spirit Ability, with your current ability, you should be able to perform mental force applications."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Tian gently tapped Ning Rongrong's forehead. In that instant, common mental force application abilities such as mental shock, mental penetration, and mental shield were transmitted into Ning Rongrong's mind like a trickling stream.
"When you have free time, you can diligently practice these abilities. This way, you can gain some effective offensive and defensive means, allowing you to face various situations with greater composure."
Ning Rongrong perceived the mental force applications in her mind and couldn't help but show a look of joy, Can't help it in a light kiss on Xiao Tian's cheek.
But then, her delicate body suddenly became somewhat stiff, as if an ostrich encountering danger, quickly buried her head tightly into Xiao Tian's arms, not daring to move.
"Cough cough…" Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan all looked extremely strange. Their gazes fell on the two of them, and then they all turned their heads away in unison, pretending not to have seen anything.
They seemed to have activated selective blindness mode, ignoring the scene before them. Now, they finally understood why the two of them had been missing since early morning, and it was already midday.
Seeing Ning Rongrong's actions, Xiao Tian couldn't help but smile. He then gently patted her back and lowered his voice, slowly saying, "What's wrong? Are you getting shy now? You know, you're my official girlfriend now. Bring out the courage you had when you were whispering dirty jokes to Xiao Wu in the Soul Master Competition arena. You're a little devil who fears nothing!"
As he finished speaking, Ning Rongrong lifted her face, her pupils contracted slightly, looking at Xiao Tian with disbelief, then instantly blushed, steam gradually rising from her head. She stammered, "You… you heard?"
Ning Rongrong felt dizzy. Oh my god, her whispers with Xiao Wu back then were actually heard by Xiao Tian? And he had such a calm expression back then, as if he hadn't heard anything?
"Hmm, don't worry, I quietly used my mental force to isolate the surroundings at that time. I guarantee that no one else heard it except me!"
Ning Rongrong: The last thing I wanted was for you to hear it.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong finally fully reacted. No wonder that day, Xiao Tian had taken her hand in front of everyone and publicly declared her his girlfriend.
At the same time, she also thought of Xiao Tian actively coming to find her at night.
Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong's cheeks couldn't help but turn even redder.
Of course, her heart was incredibly warm, as this fully proved that Xiao Tian cared about her very much.
Alright, Xiao Tian wasn't going to tease her anymore. Such private matters, even in front of good sisters, shouldn't be spoken too directly. A knowing glance was enough.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He wondered if he could achieve sleeping under the same covers with them?
Lying on a soft, large bed with several people he liked, that would definitely be very warm, right?
Xiao Wu & Ning Rongrong: Are you sure your "warmth" is proper? Warm where?
"I just accompanied Rongrong to the back mountain to see the scenery, and then let her absorb the Spirit Bone from the Soul Master Competition along the way, that's why we appeared so late," Xiao Tian explained seriously.
However, the girls just felt that something was off. They noticed that the relationship between Xiao Tian and Rongrong seemed even more intimate?
This couldn't just be explained by absorbing a Spirit Bone, could it?
But Xiao Tian didn't care about that. He said to the girls, "Let's go, let's eat first. After lunch, I have something very important to tell you, regarding improving your strength."
Xiao Tian's words immediately made the girls serious, and at the same time, they were a little curious.
They knew very well that Xiao Tian had most likely figured out a way to quickly raise their spirit power levels.
However, what kind of method would it be?
Their first thought was to raise spirit power by absorbing Spirit Bones, but this idea was immediately rejected as soon as it appeared.
After all, how could Xiao Tian possibly have so many Spirit Bones?
The thoughts of the several girls were complex, and they were all racking their brains trying to figure out a way to quickly increase their spirit power.
However, no matter how much they thought about it, they still couldn't come up with a reasonable method.
Even the secret arts of evil cultivators probably couldn't allow them to increase their spirit power by ten or twenty levels in a short time, could they?
And in the dining hall, Xiao Tian also saw a very familiar person, Shao Xin!
"Teacher Shao Xin, aren't you at Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Why are you here?" Xiao Tian asked, somewhat puzzled.
Shao Xin patted his slightly plump belly and said with a chuckle, "School Master Ning brought me here. He mentioned that you opened a new Sect and might need a chef, and asked if I was willing to come over."
"I agreed."
"Quick, quick, everyone sit down and try my cooking."
After lunch, Xiao Tian gathered the most important people in the Sect in the deliberation hall and said to them, "I have a secret method that can temporarily connect to a space in another World. The flow of time in that space is very fast; one year there is equivalent to one day in our World. However, only two people can enter at a time, and with my current strength, the number of times I can open it is not too many, only nine times."
Xiao Tian briefly explained the effect of the Spirit Time House to them.
Niu Gao and the others' eyes lit up. "Sect Master, is this true? So, one day for us here means that the people who go in to cultivate have actually cultivated for a year, and the different gravitational forces in different areas inside can also accelerate spirit power cultivation. This one year might not be very useful for Spirit Douluo like us, but for the Deputy Sect Master and the others…"
Xiao Wu and the others were also shocked. How many secrets did Xiao Tian still have that they didn't know? Could it also be a legacy like that Demon Subjugation Tower?
Xiao Tian's subsequent words also confirmed their guess.
"The place to connect to this space is in one of the rooms in the Demon Subjugation Tower in my hand. Now let's decide which two will go in for one day first."
