Warmth spread in Xiao Ze's eyes, and he simply sat on the edge of the bed, quietly keeping watch.
After an unknown amount of time, Ning Rongrong's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she groggily rubbed her eyes and sat up, completely oblivious to her nightgown strap slipping down.
"Awake?"
The familiar voice made her freeze for a moment, and her eyes instantly widened.
When she clearly saw Xiao Ze smiling in front of her, she shrieked in surprise and threw herself into his arms, with such force that she almost knocked Xiao Ze over.
"Xiao Ze! You're finally back, I missed you so much!"
Ning Rongrong's voice, warm from just waking up and choked with sobs, muffled against his chest, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist.
Xiao Ze steadily caught her, one hand gently stroking her disheveled long hair, the other patting her back, his voice gentle and reassuring: "Mm, I'm back."
Only after biting Xiao Ze's chest did Ning Rongrong believe that Xiao Ze had returned.
After a long while, Ning Rongrong left Xiao Ze's embrace.
Her beautiful eyes blinked, not speaking, just looking at him.
"Just looking at me like that?"
"I like looking."
"I quite like looking too."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong lowered her head slightly, seeing a expanse of white, and her pretty face immediately flushed. She whispered, "If you like looking, then look more. I didn't say you couldn't."
..."When did you get back?"
"Just today. I saw you were sleeping very comfortably, so I didn't wake you. You were even drooling," Xiao Ze said with a laugh.
"Nonsense! I never drool!" Ning Rongrong retorted loudly.
"Oh, then I must have seen wrong."
"That's right, you must have seen wrong." Ning Rongrong didn't know why her face became even redder when she said this.
She definitely didn't dare to say it out loud, after all, she was still dreaming while she was sleeping.
And this dream was a bit... fiery.
Ning Rongrong pushed Xiao Ze onto the bed, then leaned into his arms, deeply inhaling his familiar scent, her smile irrepressible.
"Is the spirit soul taken care of?"
"That's right, it's done. I already have a spirit soul."
"Can you show me?" Ning Rongrong was a little curious.
"Of course."
Just like that, the Bixiao Spirit Deer came out again. It was a bit bewildered, but upon seeing Xiao Ze, it still went over to him. It really liked Xiao Ze.
"Wow! It's the Bixiao Spirit Deer from back then!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed.
"That's right, it's the Bixiao Spirit Deer that sacrificed itself to me back then. Its soul was preserved by me, which is why it could become a spirit soul."
"Bixiao Spirit Deer, do you still remember me? I'm the little girl who saw you when I was young." Ning Rongrong reached out and rubbed the Bixiao Spirit Deer's head.
The Bixiao Spirit Deer tilted its head, examining Ning Rongrong, then suddenly its eyes lit up. It nodded and let out a cry.
Ning Rongrong was very surprised: "I knew you still remembered me."
"Of course it knows you. It's been in my mental ocean all this time and has watched you grow up," Xiao Ze said with a smile.
The Bixiao Spirit Deer, seeing its surprise gift ruined by its master, was a little annoyed and bumped Xiao Ze.
"Hahaha, my bad, I apologize."
After a playful moment, Ning Rongrong asked, "Xiao Ze, what type of spirit soul do you think I should get?"
"With your current mental force, a hundred thousand year spirit soul is definitely out of the question. Your mental force is considered strong, but you probably need to be a Spirit Douluo to possess a hundred thousand year spirit soul. For now, use a ten thousand year spirit soul, and later it can be upgraded to a hundred thousand year spirit soul through special methods."
"Mm-hmm." Ever since Ning Rongrong met Xiao Ze, she was no longer surprised by age limit advancements, after all, all her ten thousand year spirit rings were advanced this way.
"As for the type, it still depends on you, whether you want to enhance your amplification abilities or your life-saving abilities. For amplification abilities, use a spirit soul that can amplify, to amplify with you."
"Then an amplification spirit soul it is. My Illusory Star Glazed Crown is enough for self-preservation, plus I have you all protecting me, so I'm not afraid at all. I want to become the continent's number one support system Spirit Master," Ning Rongrong declared with a wave of her hand.
"Alright, an amplification spirit soul it is. As for which Spirit Beast you want, you'll have to research it yourself, but prepare several options, at least five or six, in case that particular Spirit Beast isn't available, you can switch."
"Okay."
Ning Rongrong flipped over, pressing down on Xiao Ze.
Her nightgown slipped from her shoulders with the movement, revealing a large expanse of white skin for Xiao Ze to see without reservation.
The gently trembling contours of her breathing made Xiao Ze unable to look away.
She deliberately straightened her waist... faintly visible.
"Does it look good?" Ning Rongrong's fingertips twirled her hair, her eyes shimmering with a triumphant glint.
Ning Rongrong was a little proud.
Xiao Ze's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
Ning Rongrong pouted her small lips, closing her eyes.
Xiao Ze knew what Ning Rongrong wanted.
He directly leaned down.
The two played until evening.
Then they called Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, and the others over.
"So this is a spirit soul, it's really cute."
"It's the Spirit Beast that's cute, not the spirit soul."
"I don't care, I want a cute spirit soul too!" Shui Yueer hugged Water Binger's arm and shook it.
"Your and Bing'er's spirit souls will have to wait a while. The spirit soul tower in the Extreme North Land hasn't been completed yet."
"Mm, no rush."
"Write down the types of spirit souls you want, and then I'll go ask Ditian if he has them and save them for you."
"Does this count as us using connections?" Dugu Yan said with a laugh.
Xiao Ze shrugged: "If you have connections and don't use them, isn't that foolish? Besides, we're all family, so what kind of connections are these?"
"Good things are definitely for our own people, are they going to be given to others instead?"
"That's true."
Looking at the spirit power of the girls, most of them were at least halfway through Spirit Emperor, and Liu Erlong had actually already become a Titled Douluo.
Although her ninth spirit ring was only ten thousand year, that was not an issue. Her mental force was sufficient for a hundred thousand year spirit soul, and in the future, she would also be a Titled Douluo with four black and five red spirit rings.
Everyone's spirit power wasn't very high, but after a trip to Sea God Island, combined with their own crops, they might be able to increase by more than ten ranks, which was very good.
If they could also find a Divinity's inheritance, the effect would be even better, and perhaps some of them could become Divinities before they were twenty years old.
