Chapter 101: Little Kitty Takes Medicine
Little Kitty felt disdainful after hearing Xiao Wu's childish words.
"Helping each other? I would thank heaven and earth if they don't stab me with knives."
Xiao Wu clicked her tongue and looked at Zhu Zhuqing, then glanced at her own sister, as if asking, "Is that true?"
Ning Rongrong nodded affirmatively.
"She's not wrong. It is said that this system ensures that the capable princes ascend to the throne and also guarantees the stability of the imperial throne."
The two girls, having learned about Zhu Zhuqing's experiences, had long forgotten the unpleasantness from earlier and now looked at Little Kitty with pity.
"So, does that mean that the perverted old tiger is a prince of the Xing 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 Xing Luo and ran to the Heavenly Dou Empire. Originally, I thought he would focus on cultivating here, but..."
Little Kitty couldn't finish her sentence. Her voice gradually became choked with emotion. Honestly, she couldn't see any hope for the future.
The little rabbit didn't know how to comfort her at the moment. She couldn't help but look down on that perverted old tiger even more. Is this what a person does? Leaving his fiancée to face danger alone, while he runs off to indulge in pleasure?
After a long silence, Ning Rongrong seemed to have made a decision. She took a jade bottle from her soul guide and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Rongrong, Brother Ning Bei won't allow you to give your medicine to others."
Xiao Wu recognized the jade bottle in Ning Rongrong's hand as containing Awakening Pills, and quickly stopped her.
Ning Rongrong smiled slyly.
"We can't just watch Zhuqing cultivate without hope, can we? Besides, as long as you don't say anything, I don't say anything, who would know I gave it to you?"
Xiao Wu thought about it and agreed, nodding her head, no longer opposing it.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the jade bottle in her hand, completely confused, not knowing what the two girls were up to.
"What is this?"
"This is the Awakening Pill unique to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It can increase the speed of soul power cultivation by 40%. I'm sure you'll find it useful."
Little Kitty's beautiful eyes widened in surprise. Does such a thing really exist?
"This... such a precious thing, is it really okay for me to use it? Also, didn't Xiao Wu say that your brother won't let you give it to others?"
"Ah, it's fine. As long as you don't tell anyone, who would know I gave it to you? Xiao Wu won't betray me, my brother won't find out."
Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a proud expression, a sense of accomplishment rising in her for helping someone and earning their gratitude. However, she didn't notice that Little Rabbit and Little Kitty were both looking at her with alarmed expressions.
"What's wrong? Why do you two have that look?"
Before they could answer, Ning Bei's fists landed on both of her temples.
Ning Bei's hands were clenched into fists, with his middle fingers bent and the joints protruding, giving her a hard lesson in the form of a 'sugar-fried chestnut' (a light smack).
"I didn't know, huh? Quite generous, aren't you? Not cultivating properly yourself, but handing out my pills?"
"Ah! Ah! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... I won't do it again."
The little girl's screams echoed through the forest.
"Brother Ning Bei, why are you here?"
Little Rabbit looked at him in surprise, quickly holding her head in case he gave her a dose of sugar-fried chestnuts too.
"Wuwuwu, stinky brother, you hit too hard."
Ning Rongrong, freed from his grip, clutched her head, her eyes filled with tears, her little mouth puffed up in a pout.
Zhu Zhuqing was secretly surprised. Wasn't this the person staying across from her in the Rose Hotel? She hadn't expected him to be Ning Rongrong's brother. When their eyes met, she grew nervous, fearing he might think she was deceiving Ning Rongrong about the pills.
"This... I... I wasn't—"
Seeing Little Kitty stammering with the jade bottle, Ning Bei chuckled lightly.
"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, her eyes bright with excitement. She saw a glimmer of hope for survival.
"Thank you, Brother Ning Bei!"
"Tch, before in the hotel you'd hide when you saw me, and now you're calling me Brother Ning Bei?"
Little Kitty blushed upon hearing Ning Bei's teasing, unsure of how to respond.
"I... I thought you were..."
"Someone sent by your sister?"
"Yes, yes."
"So now you know I'm not?"
"Mm!"
After teasing Little Kitty for a bit, Ning Bei turned his attention to the other two girls.
"You two are pretty bold, sneaking off here."
The two girls' hearts skipped a beat, and they exchanged a look. Each of them skillfully climbed up one of Ning Bei's arms.
"Hey, brother, we were bored staying at the sect. Everyone's afraid of us and won't play with us."
"Yeah... yeah, those guys, when they see us, they turn around and run, like we're ghosts."
Ning Bei looked at them speechlessly. Did they not consider why people ran from them?
"Alright, I won't take you back to the sect. But when you're done playing, make sure to get back to cultivation, alright? If you two worked half as hard as Little Kitty, you'd already be soul kings by now."
"Tch, it's not that easy."
"What did you say?"
Little Rabbit shrank her neck, immediately changing to a flattering expression.
"I said, we'll definitely cultivate properly when we get back."
"Mm, if your cultivation level satisfies me by the end of the year, I'll give you a big gift. Otherwise, I'll give it to Big Brother and those guys."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong immediately thought of the immortal herb called the 'Qiluo Tulip' and her eyes brightened. She eagerly nodded.
"Don't worry, brother, I'll make sure Xiao Wu cultivates properly."
"Alright, I'm leaving. Remember, don't take the pills out casually. Remember, having precious items is a crime, understand?"
"Got it!"
Ning Bei nodded at Little Kitty and then disappeared into the forest.
The two girls secretly let out a sigh of relief. At least they hadn't been caught and sent back to the sect for jail time.
"That scared me to death. I thought I was going to get beaten too."
Ning Rongrong shot Little Rabbit an annoyed look.
"What are you afraid of? Are you scared my brother's going to catch you and make baby rabbits?"
In an instant, Little Wu turned back into her mischievous self and started teasing Ning Rongrong. Little Kitty looked at the two of them playing around, and she smiled for the first time in a long while.
That evening, after everyone was packed, they arrived at the academy's entrance. Zhao Wuji was already waiting for them.
"Is everyone here? Then let's prepare to set off."
The group looked at Zhao Wuji, who had a bruised face, and couldn't help but laugh, though they didn't dare laugh too loudly.
"Little brats, what are you laughing at? Are you asking for a beating?"
"What little brats? Why not little blind bears?"
Upon hearing Xiao Wu's muttering, Zhao Wuji immediately glared at her.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing. I was saying we should hurry up and leave."
"Mm, then let's go. We're running to the small town near the Star Dou Forest. Don't fall behind."
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar all looked pained upon hearing Zhao Wuji's instructions. It was clear this wasn't their first time experiencing such a situation.
Ning Rongrong looked at them with confusion.
"Oscar, is the Star Dou Forest far from here?"
"Haha, not far, just a few hundred kilometers."
"What?"
Ning Rongrong looked at Zhao Wuji ahead, stunned. Why couldn't they just hire a carriage? I can pay for it.
