Chapter 144 Rongrong cried because of Yuhao.
Looking at Yu Xiaogang being taken away by Tang San, Huo Yuhao seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that his guess was indeed correct; those two transmigrators had finally come looking for Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
These two time travelers were clearly preparing to seek refuge with Tang San after being rejected by the Spirit Hall.
However, judging from Tang San's expression, he was clearly wary of the two inexplicably appearing transmigrators. Given Tang San's cautious nature, he would definitely try to kill them.
Huo Yuhao sneered inwardly. It was better to let these people deal with each other. After all, he had other things to deal with and didn't have time to bother with them.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao could sense that since the Titan Giant Ape incident, his cultivation speed had obviously increased significantly. It seemed that not obtaining the Eight Spider Lances had indeed had a great impact on Tang San.
As for why Huo Yuhao was so certain that Tang San had not obtained the Eight Spider Lances, it was because Huo Yuhao had already taken the time to kill the Human-Faced Demon Spider, and the Eight Spider Lances were now in his hands.
This thing can grow into the Eight Wings of the Sea God in the later stages, with huge development potential, and it is extremely compatible with Dong'er's martial soul. Therefore, Huo Yuhao decided to bring the Eight Spider Spears back to Dong'er during the holiday.
"Yuhao!"
Just as Huo Yuhao was lost in his thoughts, Ning Rongrong excitedly rushed towards him.
Huo Yuhao instinctively opened his arms, and Ning Rongrong jumped directly into his embrace. Huo Yuhao gently supported Ning Rongrong's thighs and steadily lifted her up.
"Yuhao, where have you been these past few days? I was so worried about you!" Ning Rongrong's voice was filled with anxiety and concern. Like a little animal, she nuzzled Huo Yuhao's chin with her hair, greedily inhaling his scent.
Huo Yuhao gently stroked Ning Rongrong's hair, his eyes filled with doting affection: "These past few days, I went to acquire my fifth spirit ring. Now, I am a level 54 Spirit King."
Ning Rongrong's face immediately lit up with surprise, her eyes sparkling with admiration. "Really? Yuhao, you're amazing! You're already a Soul King! I knew you'd be the best!"
However, after saying these words, Ning Rongrong seemed to have thought of something, and she pouted with a somewhat dejected expression, a trace of melancholy flashing in her eyes.
Huo Yuhao naturally noticed Ning Rongrong's unhappiness. He gently pinched the tip of the little girl's nose and said, "Rongrong, what's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood."
Ning Rongrong lowered her head, her voice choked with emotion: "I just feel that compared to you, I'm really inadequate. You're only a few months older than me, but you're already a Soul King, while I'm only a level 28 Great Soul Master. I'm afraid that the gap between us will widen and I won't be good enough for you."
Ning Rongrong raised her head, her large, watery eyes filled with longing and expectation as she looked pitifully at Huo Yuhao. In an almost pleading tone, she said, "Yuhao, can you teach me how to become as powerful as you? I really don't want to be protected by you anymore; I want to help you too."
Seeing the little girl's earnest expression, Huo Yuhao smiled warmly. He gently carried Ning Rongrong all the way to the dormitory. Once there, he gently placed her on the bed to make her comfortable.
"Rongrong, since you're so eager to help me, I'll give you a special gift. With this gift, you can become a powerful Soul Master," Huo Yuhao said gently to Ning Rongrong.
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up instantly, and she excitedly asked, "A gift? What gift, Yuhao!"
Huo Yuhao smiled mysteriously, and then he took out a strange immortal herb from his storage soul tool.
The roots and leaves of this magical herb are like a dense, intricate canopy of vines, a masterpiece of nature itself. But at its tip blooms a golden tulip, its petals shimmering in the sunlight and emitting a rich tulip scent. This fragrance instantly fills the entire room, creating a magnificent atmosphere, as if the whole room is illuminated by the herb's radiance.
Ning Rongrong looked at the magical herb, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and surprise.
Huo Yuhao gently reached out and stroked Ning Rongrong's soft, long hair: "Rongrong, this immortal herb is called Qiluo Tulip. It is not only exceptionally beautiful, but also contains the purest essence of heaven and earth. This Qiluo Tulip grows by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, and it has great benefits after consumption."
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Ning Rongrong's eyes flashed with surprise, and her heart began to race.
Huo Yuhao continued to explain, "Moreover, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul is an extremely precious treasure, and the Qiluo Tulip complements it. After consuming the Qiluo Tulip, your soul power will definitely be greatly enhanced, and it may even trigger the evolution of your Martial Soul."
Ning Rongrong's face lit up with unbelievable joy, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "It sounds so amazing, Yuhao, you're so good to me!"
She hugged Huo Yuhao tightly, rubbing her face against him repeatedly. Huo Yuhao chuckled inwardly. He suspected that Ning Rongrong was just trying to get closer to him, but he had no evidence.
"Then... Yuhao, how should we take this Qiluo Tulip?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
Huo Yuhao smiled and patiently explained, "You just need to gently pluck the flower stamen and then absorb the medicinal essence from it into your body. Next, you need to calm down, circulate your soul power, and guide this medicinal power to flow through your body until it is distributed throughout your entire body."
After hearing Huo Yuhao's explanation, Ning Rongrong immediately followed his instructions, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to concentrate on absorbing the essence of the Qiluo Tulip.
Huo Yuhao sat quietly next to Ning Rongrong, silently protecting her.
Watching Ning Rongrong quietly absorbing the immortal herb, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but think of other things.
Currently, among Huo Yuhao's girlfriends, only Zhu Zhuqing has not yet absorbed any immortal herbs or rare treasures.
However, Huo Yuhao had already made preparations for Zhu Zhuqing. He planned to take her to absorb the special immortal herb that was unique to her when the holiday arrived, thereby helping her improve her strength and stimulate her martial soul potential.
After all, everyone else has already consumed the immortal herb, and now only Zhu Zhuqing is left. What others have, the little cat naturally cannot lack.
The process of Ning Rongrong absorbing the Qiluo Tulip was extremely grand. The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, surrounded by a seven-colored halo, floated quietly in front of her, emitting layers of rich golden radiance.
The golden light seemed to emanate continuously from Ning Rongrong's body, accompanied by a rich tulip fragrance. As the light shimmered, she seemed to transform into a fairy descending to earth.
Each time the golden light intensified, Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda became even more dazzling and radiant, captivating all who beheld it.
Ning Rongrong absorbed the essence of the Qiluo Tulip with complete concentration, a process that lasted for an entire afternoon.
Huo Yuhao watched intently, witnessing Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda gradually grow from seven to nine stories.
When the light emanating from Ning Rongrong finally faded, she excitedly rushed towards Huo Yuhao, her soft lips haphazardly kissing his face.
"Yuhao, this Qiluo Tulip you gave me is absolutely amazing! My soul power level has directly increased to level 30!" Ning Rongrong said excitedly.
"Moreover, I can clearly feel that once I obtain the third spirit ring, there is still a lot of room for improvement in my spirit power level."
Huo Yuhao sat next to Ning Rongrong, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting. He gently reached out and stroked Ning Rongrong's soft hair with his fingertips.
"Rongrong, count carefully, how many stories does your glass pagoda have now?"
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Ning Rongrong was stunned, and then subconsciously replied, "How many floors? My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has always had seven floors, hasn't it?"
However, when her gaze fell upon the glazed pagoda, Ning Rongrong's expression suddenly froze. Her eyes widened, as if she had witnessed something unbelievable.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Nine? How could this be? How did my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda become nine stories?" Ning Rongrong's voice was filled with shock and disbelief, and she involuntarily covered her mouth with her hand.
Huo Yuhao looked at Ning Rongrong's reaction and a faint smile appeared on his lips. He said softly, "To be precise, your martial soul should now be called the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Ning Rongrong seemed to hear Huo Yuhao's words echoing in her ears, and an indescribable excitement welled up in her heart. She began to repeat Huo Yuhao's words over and over, her voice trembling: "Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda..."
Ning Rongrong felt a surge of emotion welling up inside her, and her excitement made it almost impossible for her to control her voice.
She knew what it meant for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda to become nine stories. It wasn't just a change in numbers; it meant that the treasure in her hands had transcended its original form and become the legendary Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.
The name "Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda" echoed in Ning Rongrong's heart.
This was more than just a name change; it represented a completely new level she had reached. She thought of her father, who had dedicated his life to this goal, hoping one day to witness the birth of the Nine-Jeweled Glazed Pagoda.
And now, this dream has actually come true in her own hands. Ning Rongrong really can't imagine how happy her father will be when he finds out.
"Yuhao!"
Ning Rongrong excitedly rushed towards Huo Yuhao, and the two fell onto the soft bed together. Then, Ning Rongrong's soft little mouth tightly kissed Huo Yuhao's lips.
Huo Yuhao was touched by Ning Rongrong's enthusiasm. He held Ning Rongrong's slender waist tightly and skillfully responded to her affection. His hands gently slid on Ning Rongrong's back, his right hand slowly sliding to Ning Rongrong's waist, while his left hand gently caressed Ning Rongrong's chest.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment, the two of them lost in their own world, until Ning Rongrong felt her cheeks flush red, her breathing become rapid, and a feeling of suffocation gradually crept over her. Only then did she slowly release Huo Yuhao. Ning Rongrong's breathing was a little rapid, but her eyes sparkled with happiness.
"Yuhao, you're so good to me. This gift is the best I've ever received." Ning Rongrong's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with gratitude and love.
"In return, I have decided to entrust my life and the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to your hands."
Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Huo Yuhao felt a warm current surge in his heart.
Ning Rongrong gently lay in Huo Yuhao's arms. After the excitement just now, she felt an unprecedented sense of peace.
She closed her eyes and felt Huo Yuhao's heartbeat. Ning Rongrong felt that the rhythm of Huo Yuhao's heartbeat was the most beautiful melody in the world. She even felt that as long as she could lie in Yuhao's arms, she would be fearless no matter how bumpy the road ahead was.
"By the way, Yuhao, my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda has actually turned into a Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda! This is an unprecedented event in the history of our sect. Such an important matter requires me to return to the sect to report to my father, Grandpa Sword, and Grandpa Bone. This time, will you come back with me?" Ning Rongrong's eyes sparkled with excitement as she tightly grasped Huo Yuhao's hand, anticipating his response.
Huo Yuhao kissed Ning Rongrong's hair and replied gently, "Of course you can. When are you planning to go back? I need to prepare in advance and arrange our itinerary."
"Let's go back together during the holidays this month."
"Alright, but before we return to our sect, you'll come back to the Spirit Hall with me first. Let's settle Zhu Qing in first, and then I'll go to the far north. After I come back, we'll go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School together, okay?" Huo Yuhao said, planning the next steps in his mind.
As if he had just thought of something, Huo Yuhao added, "By the way, now that your soul power has broken through to level 30, how about I take you to get a soul ring tomorrow?"
Ning Rongrong buried her head in Huo Yuhao's arms, her voice tinged with a hint of coquetry: "I'll do whatever you say, you can arrange it."
"Are you really going to listen to me?" Huo Yuhao asked tentatively, smiling and gently stroking her hair.
"Yes!" Ning Rongrong nodded firmly, her eyes filled with trust in Huo Yuhao.
"Well... Rongrong, you can sleep alone tonight, and I'll go keep Zhuqing company, okay? After all, I haven't seen her since I got back."
"Huo Yuhao...you bastard!"
Ning Rongrong's voice was trembling with tears, and then she bit Huo Yuhao's lips hard.
