Ye Qiu, I have finished absorbing the Spirit Bone.
Watching Ye Qiu, who was tilting his head back with a look of utter comfort, Zhu Zhuqing called away one of the clones that was massaging his legs and personally helped Ye Qiu tidy up.
"Cough, cough…!" Ye Qiu sat up and coughed twice. "Zhuqing, how was the harvest?"
"My spirit power has reached level forty-four, and that Spirit Bone can boost my clone's strength to sixty percent!" As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing smiled softly and then recalled the clone that had gotten dirty.
"This Spirit Ability is indeed powerful!" Ye Qiu was also somewhat surprised, thinking that he could hunt Ghost Tigers again in the future to create spirit rings.
"Mm!" Zhu Zhuqing was also very happy; her spirit power had quickly risen to level forty-four, already surpassing her elder sister!
When they met again next time, she could finally hold her head high.
"Then let's head back now! Xiao Wu and the others must be getting impatient."
Ye Qiu stood up, pulled Zhu Zhuqing in front of the Sacred Light Golden Lion King, burned its corpse to ashes, and then retrieved a torso bone.
"Good luck, it's actually a light-attributed torso bone."
After properly securing the Spirit Bone, Ye Qiu no longer delayed and immediately took Zhu Zhuqing to leave the Divine Might Space.
…
By this time, the sky outside had already darkened.
Near Life Lake, on a bare patch of ground not far away.
A huge roasting rack had been set up.
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were directing Er Ming to roast meat.
Ever since Er Ming had tasted the roasted meat Ye Qiu brought him, he had fallen in love with its flavor.
He would occasionally take advantage of Xiao Wu and the others' free time to ask them to teach him.
"Cough, cough… Er Ming! I told you, when you sprinkle pepper, lower it for Xiao Wu Jie and turn your back!"
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong watched the falling powder and quickly ran away.
"Roar~"
Er Ming nodded obediently, then pointed at Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's backs.
"Xiao Wu, what is Er Ming saying?" Ning Rongrong asked Xiao Wu, puzzled.
Although they had spent a lot of time together, Er Ming's more complex language still left her somewhat confused.
"That's great!" Before Ning Rongrong could finish her question, Xiao Wu happily ran towards Life Lake, throwing a sentence back at Ning Rongrong as she went.
"Little Qiu is back!"
Ning Rongrong froze for a moment, then a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.
Just as she was about to run over, she stopped. Her speed was certainly no match for Xiao Wu's; she had already suffered quite a few losses.
A hint of cunning flashed in her azure eyes as she turned to look at Er Ming, a mischievous smile on her lips.
Ye Qiu and Zhu Zhuqing were by Life Lake, where the two girls were present.
The ground suddenly began to vibrate. In the distance, Er Ming was running towards them, seemingly carrying a young girl in green.
It was Ning Rongrong, who was continuously waving at Ye Qiu.
"Er Ming? Why are you running so fast?" Xiao Wu, who had been overtaken by Er Ming, looked at him with a strange expression.
Why did he seem to want to see Ye Qiu even more than she did?!
Suddenly remembering something, she looked behind her, but Ning Rongrong was nowhere to be seen.
"Ah! Rongrong~!"
Xiao Wu cried out in surprise, her Third Soul Ring flashing continuously under her feet as Teleportation was used as if it cost nothing.
At the same time, she also called out to stop Er Ming: "Er Ming, stop quickly, or Xiao Wu Jie will get angry!"
Ye Qiu watched this scene, his mouth twitching slightly.
Zhu Zhuqing stood to the side, watching the two girls compete, a slight smile on her face.
Upon hearing Xiao Wu's voice, Er Ming immediately stopped, looked at Ning Rongrong in his hand, and let out a low roar.
"Hmph! Miss is definitely going to win!" Ning Rongrong also knew that her words would certainly not be as effective as Xiao Wu's.
However, she was not far from Ye Qiu, and Xiao Wu had just passed Er Ming, still turning back to make a face at Ning Rongrong.
"Er Ming, stretch out your arm." Ning Rongrong instructed, already starting to run.
"Ah! Ye Qiu…!"
"Rongrong!"
Ye Qiu looked at Ning Rongrong, who had jumped down directly, his expression changing as he immediately reacted.
As Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu watched Ning Rongrong jump down, their mouths agape.
Several Blue Silver Emperors, like vines, wrapped around Ning Rongrong, then pulled her in front of Ye Qiu.
"Rongrong, you're too reckless!"
Ignoring Ye Qiu's words, Ning Rongrong quickly pounced into Ye Qiu's arms.
"It's just that I missed you too much," Ning Rongrong hugged Ye Qiu, her face full of triumph, and without another word, she offered a kiss.
"Little Qiu~" Xiao Wu, who had just run over, pouted, watching the two of them kissing eagerly.
"Er Ming! It's all your fault!"
Hearing Xiao Wu's accusation, Er Ming couldn't help but scratch his head.
"Alright, Xiao Wu," Ye Qiu, who had temporarily settled Ning Rongrong in his arms, pulled Xiao Wu, who had a bitter expression. "I'm not going to run away, do you two really need to compete like this?"
"Hmph! Of course, it's necessary… In a few days, won't you have even less time for us?" Xiao Wu looked at the already dazed Ning Rongrong with a cold snort, then squeezed into Ye Qiu's arms, trembling with annoyance.
Ye Qiu chuckled twice, understanding that she was referring to Dugu Yan and the others.
"Roar~!"
Not far away, Er Ming looked at Ye Qiu, who had helped him out, and couldn't help but gesture with the roasted meat in his hand towards Ye Qiu.
On the large stick Ye Qiu had given him, a charred, large spicy strip (snake) was coiled.
"Er Ming, thank you for your kindness, but you should eat it yourself."
Ye Qiu shook his head, trying to suppress a smile.
Over this period, Ye Qiu's relationship with Da Ming and Er Ming had improved quite a bit.
"Roar~"
Seeing that Ye Qiu wouldn't eat, Er Ming found a corner for himself, sat down, and began to peel off the charred skin from his spicy strip.
Whoosh!
Just as Ye Qiu pulled the three girls to sit down, two water streams, as thick as water vats, suddenly shot out from Life Lake.
One flew into the distance, stirring up a cloud of smoke, while the other poured onto Er Ming's head.
At the same time, a cold snort came from beneath Life Lake from Da Ming. If he didn't want to be a third wheel, he would definitely come out and hit Er Ming twice.
"Roar~!"
Er Ming, who was enjoying his meal, shook his body and roared angrily at the bottom of the lake.
"Er Ming, why are you yelling! You must not have put out the fire again, serves you right!"
Xiao Wu yelled at Er Ming, still feeling a bit angry.
"Roar~" Er Ming scratched his head, then quieted down, turned his back, shook the spicy strip in his hand, and bit into it with a crisp crunch.
"Haha…" Ning Rongrong giggled twice, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing. "Zhuqing, how was it? This guy didn't go around flirting, did he?"
"No…" Zhu Zhuqing shook her head seriously, and indeed, he hadn't, as the other party seemed unwilling to let Ye Qiu touch her.
However, Zhu Zhuqing didn't know about when he sent her back, as Ye Qiu's state at that time was quite powerful.
"Then Zhuqing, what Spirit Ability did you get this time?" Xiao Wu sat next to Ye Qiu, leaning on his shoulder, and asked curiously.
"I'm currently a level forty-four Spirit Ancestor, and my Fourth Soul Skill is Netherworld Shadow Clone!"
As she spoke, the Fourth Soul Ring under Zhu Zhuqing's feet lit up, and six identical Zhu Zhuqings appeared beside them.
"Each clone has sixty percent of my strength!"
"Ah! Rongrong… What are you doing?" One of the clones closer to Ning Rongrong suddenly cried out in surprise.
"They're exactly the same! And they're solid… This is too much of a cheat?!"
Ning Rongrong retracted her hand, looking at the somewhat blushing main body with an inexplicable expression.
"Mm-hmm, it's indeed very powerful!" Xiao Wu also nodded, looking at the abundance of clones. If they were mixed together, she definitely wouldn't be able to tell them apart.
Looking at Xiao Wu, who hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation, Ning Rongrong turned to her: "Xiao Wu, I'm not talking about combat power."
"Zhuqing's figure is already so unfair, and now she has this ability… Hmph, hmph, someone must be overjoyed! This is seven times the happiness."
Ning Rongrong looked teasingly at Ye Qiu, whose eyes had lit up the moment he saw Zhu Zhuqing's clones.
