Chapter 28: I Beg You, Little Friend—Please Work a Miracle and Save This Old Man!
Ning Rongrong shuddered violently and turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing.
She swallowed hard, and cold sweat instantly broke out all over her body.
She understood this sister far too well!
When this sister said she didn't care, she might truly not care.
But when this sister said she would kill you, she really would kill you.
Suddenly,
Ning Rongrong seemed to think of something, her eyes lighting up.
'Wait a minute… what am I even afraid of?'
'She's just a girl who isn't even thirteen yet.'
'I've lived two lifetimes—how could I lose to her?'
'Heh…'
With memories of her "previous life," how could she possibly be no match for a little girl who hadn't even turned thirteen?
Don't be ridiculous!!
"Brother Li~"
"Zhu Zhuqing threatened me! She said she was going to kill me!"
Ning Rongrong hurried over to Wang Li's side, tears swirling in her eyes as she spoke pitifully.
Wang Li: "..."
The three of them were not far apart. Zhu Zhuqing's threat—he had naturally heard it.
Truly domineering. Truly overbearing.
"Then you must have done something wrong."
"Zhuqing wouldn't be wrong."
"???"
Ning Rongrong's expression froze. Her eyes went blank, her face full of disbelief.
She really hadn't done anything wrong!
At this moment, Ning Rongrong felt unbearably wronged.
In a daze, she suddenly understood the truth.
Those who are favored are always fearless…
She didn't believe Wang Li hadn't heard Zhu Zhuqing's threat.
Everyone present was a soul master.
Wang Li was even a genius soul master—the one with the highest soul power among the three.
He had clearly heard it, yet he still said something like that.
Was he afraid Zhu Zhuqing would be hurt—but not afraid that she, Ning Rongrong, would be hurt?
It hurt… it hurt too much!!
After hearing this, a change finally appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's icy face.
The corners of her lips curved upward slightly, her beautiful eyes narrowing as she shot Ning Rongrong a smug glance, then followed closely behind Wang Li as they gradually walked away.
Although she didn't know what was going on with Ning Rongrong, one thing was clear—
Her Brother Li cared about her the most.
That was enough.
"Damn it!"
Ning Rongrong clenched her teeth, her small fists tightly balled, yet she could do nothing about it.
After all, she was just an auxiliary-type soul master, with no real combat power at all.
Zhu Zhuqing could suppress her with a single hand…
Suddenly, Ning Rongrong seemed to think of something. Her eyes lit up, and all her irritation vanished.
If she remembered correctly, there was a great opportunity outside Sunset Forest!
In her "previous life," the Beautiful Silk Tulip Wang Li gave her had been obtained from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well within Sunset Forest.
That Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was currently occupied by Poison Douluo.
In her "previous life," for some unknown reason, Poison Douluo and his granddaughter later joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong once again walked up to Wang Li and invited him to her room, saying she had something important to discuss.
Although Wang Li was puzzled, he still brought Zhu Zhuqing along and headed toward Ning Rongrong's room.
After arriving, Ning Rongrong once again dismissed the guards before explaining everything about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Although Zhu Zhuqing had memories of a "previous life," she knew nothing about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
What puzzled Wang Li was this—
Since Ning Rongrong knew about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, why didn't she tell Ning Fengzhi and have Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo seize it?
Why tell him instead…?
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, huh.
Wang Li stroked his chin. In four simulations, he had gone there three times, nearly stripping the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well clean.
He had even obtained the inheritance of the Water and Fire Dragon King in the simulations…
Wait—the Water and Fire Dragon King's inheritance?
Right now, he had already obtained the divine rings of the Water and Fire Dragon King. If he went to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well…
As for Dugu Bo—this disgrace among Titled Douluo—he could be beaten until only his title remained.
A mere speck of dust, not even worth half his attention!
He, Wang Li, was no ordinary Soul Douluo!
"Let's go!"
"??"
Ning Rongrong's head was full of question marks. Go where?
"Brother Li, don't we need Grandpa Sword or Grandpa Bone to help?"
"Dugu Bo isn't easy to deal with. He's a powerful Titled Douluo!"
"Heh…"
Wang Li shook his head and said calmly,
"You know nothing about my strength."
"Let's go."
After saying this, Wang Li pushed open the door and walked toward the outskirts of the city.
Zhu Zhuqing silently followed behind him.
Who the enemy was didn't matter. She trusted her Brother Li.
And even if things went wrong—
Dying together with Wang Li would still be a kind of happiness.
"Uh…"
Ning Rongrong felt that Wang Li and Zhu Zhuqing were both insane!
After hesitating for a moment, she finally gritted her teeth and followed after them.
Worst case, they'd all die together!
She owed Wang Li this much!
---
Before long, the three of them arrived at Sunset Forest.
However, none of them knew where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was located, so they could only wander around the forest's outer perimeter.
The occasional ten-year or hundred-year soul beast that appeared was handled by Zhu Zhuqing.
It could be considered a form of training.
When Zhu Zhuqing finished off another hundred-year soul beast, Wang Li suddenly frowned, as if he had sensed something.
He raised his head and looked ahead.
An old man clad in dark green armor stood there with his arms crossed, watching them with great interest.
"Little brats, you're not simple at all."
Not only was this old man wearing dark green armor, but his hair and pupils were also dark green.
"Uh… didn't find the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, but we found Dugu Bo first…"
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well wasn't far from here. Dugu Bo had been preparing to return to Heaven Dou City when he sensed combat here and, driven by curiosity, came over to take a look.
And what he saw shocked him!
Two twelve- or thirteen-year-old girls, their soul power levels actually approaching that of a Soul Elder!
As for the twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy—
His eyes practically popped out of his head, yet he still couldn't tell what level of soul master the boy was.
Two girls—one with the Hell Spirit Cat martial soul, one with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Interesting. Far too interesting!
When Ning Rongrong saw Dugu Bo, her little face turned pale.
She knew Dugu Bo.
In her "previous life," after she and Wang Li separated, Dugu Bo never gave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a good look—he nearly left the sect outright!
From then on, Dugu Bo was practically unresponsive to summons and never returned to the sect.
One could easily imagine just how close his relationship with Wang Li had been!
Under the astonished gazes of Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Bo, Wang Li slowly spoke.
"Old sir, you're poisoned, aren't you?"
The three of them: "???"
What… What kind of situation was this?
Hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically. He stared at Wang Li as if he wanted to devour him alive.
This is his secret!
How could a mere child possibly know about it?
Without the slightest hesitation, two yellow, two purple, and five black soul rings rapidly rose from beneath Dugu Bo's feet.
Almost instantly, he appeared in front of Wang Li, ready to grab him by the throat and interrogate him thoroughly.
A quarter of an hour later,
"Little friend… this old man is indeed poisoned."
"I beg you, little friend—please work a miracle and save this old man!"
Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong: "..."
They were completely stunned!
A bruised and battered Dugu Bo was being pressed to the ground by Wang Li, his neck firmly gripped.
Six black, one icy-gold, and one fiery red tinged with gold—eight soul rings—floated behind Wang Li.
The terrifying pressure they radiated was no weaker than Dugu Bo's—if anything, it was even stronger!
