Chapter 77 Forcibly Absorbing the Soul Ring, the Leather Coat Was Unbreathable and Had to Be Unfastened
"Zhu Yun, you are indeed a woman with methods and brains. However, in some aspects, you have to admit that you are no match for Zhu Zhuqing, who is seven years younger."
When Mu Changge said this, her eyes were fixed on the little cat sitting cross-legged on the ground absorbing the soul ring, her eyes full of satisfaction.
Zhu Zhu Yun smiled bitterly. Of course, she knew what kind of amazing perseverance Zhu Zhuqing had honed over the years of being bullied by her!
But what use was it?
Zhu Zhu Yun turned her head and looked at her younger sister, who had just started absorbing the soul ring and was bleeding from her seven orifices, her body cracking open. Her eyes were filled with sorrow.
No matter how strong her willpower was, it could not allow Zhu Zhuqing's body to exceed its limits. Absorbing a soul ring across a thousand years, her only fate was to explode and die!
Zhu Zhu Yun lowered her head and silently shed tears, but Mu Changge's next words gave her hope again.
"Since I was the one who asked the kitten to absorb the soul ring, it's not to send her to her death!"
Zhu Zhuyun looked up through teary eyes, only to see Mu Changge standing behind Zhu Zhuqing, his expression unusually serious.
The moment Mu Changge placed his hand on the kitten's vest, a surge of life force, many times more concentrated than before, flowed from his palm into Zhu Zhuqing's body.
The kitten's torn flesh instantly healed, but for some reason, her expression remained as painful as before, as if her injuries hadn't eased at all.
In reality, this wasn't the case. With Mu Changge's continuous life force,
Zhu Zhuqing's flesh hadn't even had time to burst open before it was instantly repaired!
It was just that the speed was too fast for the naked eye to see.
In this state, Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't die even if she were beheaded, had her heart pierced, or even split vertically in half!
But the problem was, this pain would still be felt by Zhu Zhuqing's senses.
So, objectively speaking, although Zhu Zhuqing's body showed no abnormalities...
In Zhu Zhuqing's senses, her body was being torn apart and destroyed every second!
It could be said that Mu Changge only ensured Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't die instantly from absorbing the spirit ring, but the excruciating pain of absorbing a spirit ring across time limits still had to be endured by the little kitten.
Although Mu Changge could allow Zhu Zhuqing to absorb a 2,800-year spirit ring in this way, a 10,000-year one was impossible!
It wasn't because his life force couldn't keep up, but because Zhu Zhuqing's body and spirit couldn't handle it.
The so-called death from exploding after absorbing a spirit ring also has a time limit.
Without Mu Changge's help, Zhu Zhuqing's fate would have been to have her body gradually destroyed by the violent spirit power, eventually collapsing at a critical point and exploding into a cloud of blood mist.
Therefore, until that critical point arrived, Zhu Zhuqing had to endure the pain of her body being initially destroyed until the spirit ring was completely absorbed!
But if it were a ten-thousand-year soul ring, even disregarding the soul shock, the sheer overwhelming soul power alone would be enough to instantly push Zhu Zhuqing's frail body to its breaking point, causing her to explode and die on the spot!
Even with Mu Changge's immense life force as support, it would only result in her body being repaired the instant she exploded, only to explode again the instant she was repaired.
As long as Mu Changge didn't stop supplying her life force, this process would continue indefinitely!
Under such circumstances, how could she possibly absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring?
Or rather, every single second she would be experiencing the agony of exploding and dying instantly.
How many people wouldn't break down? Wouldn't they rather die like that than continue to endure this torment worse than death?
Therefore, whether Mu Changge could help Zhu Zhuqing absorb soul rings spanning multiple years depended mainly on her physical strength and how much pain she could withstand without breaking down!
Yet, even under these circumstances, the little kitten gritted her teeth and didn't even let out a scream.
Only their trembling bodies, constantly drenched in cold sweat…
Along the way, a large number of soul beasts were attracted by this life force, enough to form a medium-sized beast tide!
But Mu Changge didn't even glance at them, casually snapping his fingers, and a blood-red flame enveloped them within a radius of several dozen meters.
Even Tang Hao dared not face that terrifying flame, let alone these soul beasts?
Thus, the beast tide came quickly and went even faster! They were terrified of being burned to death by the flames if they were too slow.
… After two hours of agony, the kitten, who had been sitting cross-legged, swayed and collapsed into Mu Changge's arms.
She groggily opened her eyes and saw Zhu Zhuyun with tears in her eyes, and Mu Changge wiping her sweat with his sleeve, though he was still wearing his blood-stained clothes, which only became dirtier with each wipe.
Zhu Zhuqing managed to summon her spirit ring; the outermost purple ring was much deeper in color than a typical third spirit ring.
Looking at this ring, a weak yet pure smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's sweat-covered face.
"Master, I succeeded..."
"Yes, my little kitten is the best."
Mu Changge brushed the strands of hair stuck to Zhu Zhuqing's forehead with sweat and reached out to unzip her blouse.
Don't misunderstand, Mu Changge wouldn't do anything to Zhu Zhuqing in such a weak state.
He simply unzipped her blouse to cool her down, since both kitten sisters were wearing leather jackets.
As everyone knows, leather jackets are extremely unbreathable, and the little kitten had been sweating profusely for two whole hours because of her pain!
Now, white steam was practically rising from her forehead; no wonder she was so hot!
Sure enough, as soon as Mu Changge unzipped the jacket, the heat inside burst forth as if a seal had been broken, instantly releasing beads of sweat that covered Zhu Zhuqing's body.
They clung to her neck and collarbone, some even sliding down her breasts and rolling down her back…
Finally, Mu Changge removed all of her leather jacket, dried her with a towel, and prepared to change her into something cooler.
But for some reason, all the clothes in the two kitten sisters' soul tools, except for their underwear, were identical leather jackets!
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong volunteered to retrieve one of her own dresses from her soul tool.
After Mu Changge finally managed to put it on Zhu Zhuqing, the little kitten simply inhaled, and the button on her chest instantly popped off.
As luck would have it, the blow landed squarely on Ning Rongrong's forehead. The little witch glanced up at Zhu Zhuqing, then looked down and compared herself to her.
For some reason, even though she was hit on the head, Ning Rongrong felt the pain was nothing compared to the psychological impact.
The little witch's eyes instantly lost their sparkle, and she finally slumped to the side, hugging her knees and becoming withdrawn.
In the end, Mu Changge took Hu Liena's clothes and dressed the kitten in them. Whether they fit or not, they were a better fit than Ning Rongrong's dress!
"Let's go! Back home."
Mu Changge personally carried the exhausted kitten in his arms. Hu Liena led the chained Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuyun carried the unconscious Meng Yiran, and Ning Rongrong followed in a daze.
As for why they didn't hunt for a soul ring for Meng Yiran, well, she had just lost her grandmother and grandfather in a single day; she probably wasn't in the mood for soul hunting for the time being.
Although utterly exhausted, the kitten could still sense the changes in its body. Its physical strength had more than doubled, and its power had likely increased significantly.
Looking at Zhu Zhuyun behind it, grumbling and complaining about being unconscious and causing it all this trouble, Zhu Zhuqing smiled, but tears streamed down her face like raindrops.
"Sister, you were right. Following our master was indeed the best choice for us sisters."
With that final thought, Zhu Zhuqing finally succumbed to exhaustion and nestled sweetly into Mu Changge's strong embrace, falling into a deep sleep.
At this very moment, in Tiandou City, a refined noblewoman in the Yuexuan Pavilion sighed as she looked at the unconscious, rough-looking man on the bed. (
