It took A Rou a whole day to finish that hundred thousand-year-old piece. Soft Bones Demon Rabbit's right arm bone perfectly fused. When she opened her eyes again, her spirit power had already broken through to level 95!
Even more surprisingly, because Spirit Bone shares the same origin as the original, her Soft Bones Demon Rabbit... Bloodline's quality has also undergone a qualitative leap. Measured by human Spirit standards, her Spirit quality is now on par with any top-tier Spirit!
Because of this, A Rou became increasingly clingy, hanging on Yu Qing like a spoiled little rabbit every day, wishing she wouldn't let go for 24 hours. This directly led to Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi also joining the "battle for her"—one monopolizing the left arm, the other monopolizing the right arm, while A Rou nestled comfortably in his arms.
"This is the peak of life..." Yu Qing sighed contentedly, secretly glad that she had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent. In other worldviews, how could she enjoy such a blessing?
(The mainland, obsessed with love, truly lives up to its reputation!)
...
The tedious journey continued. The carriage traveled alone along the rugged mountain road, passing through desolate landscapes with hardly a decent town in sight. Although playing cards provided some enjoyment, it eventually became tiresome.
So Yu Qing went on to "invent" new ways to play, such as mahjong and chess. The daily routine of the four became: playing Dou Dizhu in the morning, playing mahjong in the afternoon, and playing chess in the evening... which was quite fulfilling.
Fortunately, such days did not last long. Ten days later, the terrain gradually opened up, flat plains replaced the rugged mountain roads, and bustling towns began to appear.
The group of four's lifestyle also changed: three days of dual cultivation followed by two days of travel cultivation, and the cycle repeated itself.
...
Two weeks later, they finally left Fasinuo Province. Although it took a month and a half, the gains were equally astonishing:
Duan Xin's spirit power reached level 58. Crimson Flame Dragon Lizard evolves into Crimson Flame Red Dragon, possessing pure Dragon Clan. Bloodline's power has skyrocketed!
Zi Ruyi's Purple Cloud Vine Spirit then transforms into a purplish-gold color, not only gaining significantly increased resistance to ice and fire, but also more than tenfold enhanced resilience and defense. Within the same level, unless encountering an ultimate Spirit, no one can escape her control!
Whenever the two women thought back to their initial choice, they couldn't help but feel fortunate, and their love for Yu Qing grew stronger every day.
A Rou's progress is reflected in the spirit rings: the first and second spirit rings have both broken through for a thousand years, and the next goal is to advance the fourth spirit ring to ten thousand years.
As for Yu Qing himself, his leveling speed is relatively slow because his spirit power is ten times the quality of others of the same level. However, his fifth spirit ring is over 60,000 years old, and his strength is still steadily increasing.
...
After entering the northern province, the road conditions improved significantly, and the speed of the carriage increased several times, making it easy to travel a hundred miles a day.
"At most half a month, we'll be able to enter Diying Province!" the coachman assured him confidently.
And that was indeed the case. Just a few days later, the boundary marker of Diying Province came into view.
Upon arriving here, the four of them were no longer in a hurry to continue their journey. Instead, they treated this trip as a pre-wedding honeymoon, stopping to explore each town for a day or two.
A Rou, in particular, was like a bird released from its cage, brimming with curiosity about everything in human society. Food, clothes, novelties... she was having a blast, just like a playful young girl.
Of course, trouble followed. Three beautiful women traveling together were already eye-catching, let alone A Rou, who was stunningly beautiful. Along the way, countless spoiled young men and noblemen tried to flirt with them, and some even dared to try and abduct her.
A Rou's approach to this was simple and brutal: at best, cripple them; at worst, raid their homes! As a result, the four men's wallets not only didn't shrink, but actually grew fatter.
"No wonder she's Xiao Wu's mother, her 'money-making ' skills are truly inherited!" Yu Qing sighed inwardly, while setting a rule for A Rou: I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will empty my family's coffers!
Interestingly, A Rou seems to have a natural talent for attracting trouble; wherever he goes, thugs inevitably come knocking on his door. In just half a month, he's been "forced" to earn over five thousand gold coins!
Soon, a catchy nickname spread throughout Diying Province – " pink bandit "!
...
" Hey Rou, look! Isn't that you, the ' pink bandit ' they're talking about on the street?" As they passed through a big city, Yu Qing pointed to the crowd discussing it on the street and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Hmph! I was acting on behalf of Heaven! " A Rou Qi protested, "If they hadn't provoked me first, I wouldn't have bothered with them!"
"Exactly!" Duan Xin immediately chimed in, " Sister Rou is punishing evil and promoting good! Why call her a notorious thief? If you ask me, she should be called 'Pink Heroine'!"
Zi Ruyi covered her mouth and chuckled: "You, with that mischievous nature..."
Just as they were laughing and joking, a familiar scene unfolded once again—
"Hey, little beauty, how about having some fun with me?" A blond-haired youth and his henchmen blocked his way. "You don't look familiar, how about I be your guide?"
A Rou narrowed her pink eyes, about to erupt, when she saw one of her lackeys suddenly change color, desperately tugging at the blond-haired man's sleeve: "Young...Young Master! Look at her all in pink...could it be that..."
Upon closer inspection, the blond-haired man was instantly struck by the phrase "Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!"
Clap clap clap clap!
A series of powerful slaps rained down, instantly swelling the blond-haired man's face into a swollen mess. He knelt on the ground with a thud, his movements so practiced it was almost pitiful: "Your Majesty, spare me! I was blind to your greatness! This is my allowance saved over two and a half years, please accept it!"
As he spoke, he tremblingly offered up a storage jade.
A Rou swept his gaze across her face with mental force, a satisfied smile curving his lips: "Get lost."
As if granted a pardon, the blond-haired man scrambled and disappeared around the street corner.
The onlookers were taken aback at first, then burst into heated discussion:
"What did the Viscount's little tyrant call her just now? Your Majesty?!"
"Oh my god! It's that legendary Pink Bandit!"
"This quality, this outfit, absolutely stunning!"
A Rou ignored the comments and happily tallied his spoils: "A full five thousand gold coins this time! I never imagined a spoiled brat like him would be so rich..."
Yu Qing was quite surprised. He, a dignified Titled Douluo, had accumulated less than a thousand gold coins over the years, yet a mere noble young master's allowance was several times that amount!
" A Qing, these are for you." A Rou suddenly placed the precious jade in his hand, her pink eyes filled with tenderness. "What's mine is yours."
Yu Qing was both amused and exasperated—this was the prelude to being kept by a sugar daddy!
"Keep it for yourself," he gently pushed Baoyu back. "A dignified Titled Douluo should always have some savings of his own."
A Rou pursed her lips and nodded solemnly, "Okay! I'll save it for you then. Just contact me anytime you need it!"
...
That evening, in the hotel room.
" A Qing ~" A Rou hugged Yu Qing from behind as he was packing his luggage, whispering in his ear, "We made so much money today, shouldn't we… celebrate?"
Yu Qing turned and pulled her into his arms, grinning mischievously, "That's exactly what I was thinking. But... are you sure you don't want to invite Xiner and Ruyi to 'celebrate' together?"
A Rou blushed and lightly punched his chest: "You're so annoying!"
Just then, there was a loud knock on the door, and Duan Xin's energetic voice came through: "Husband! Sister Rou! We're short two players, shall we start a mahjong game?"
Zi Ruyi chuckled softly, "I think they're not going to be able to start the game."
Yu Qing and A Rou exchanged a smile and said in unison:
"—Coming right now!"
