Chapter 134: Ning Rongrong
Afterward, the five of them chatted and laughed as they left the cultivation room.
When they reached a fork in the road, Lin Yuan turned to Dugu Yan.
"Sister Yanyan, tonight take me to meet your grandfather."
"My master will come tonight to protect him while he condenses his soul core."
Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes instantly lit up, and joy filled her heart.
"Really?"
"Then thank you, Brother Lin Yuan!"
She was so excited she could barely contain herself. Ignoring the people around them, she stepped forward and planted a firm kiss on Lin Yuan's cheek.
"Ah! Dugu Yan!"
Xiao Wu instantly exploded, her two rabbit ears standing straight up.
"How can you do that!"
"This is a public place! Have some shame!"
As if unwilling to lose, she rushed forward, wrapped her arms around Lin Yuan's neck, and planted a loud kiss on his other cheek.
"Muah!"
After kissing him, Xiao Wu shot Dugu Yan a smug look, as if declaring her sovereignty.
Watching the scene of Lin Yuan being "hugged from both sides," Ning Rongrong stood nearby with her arms crossed, smiling like a cunning little fox, her eyes full of teasing.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Xiao Wu, you're really playing boldly."
"Lin Yuan is your brother."
Xiao Wu's face instantly turned red all the way down to her neck. She stubbornly retorted,
"W-what nonsense are you talking about!"
"This is family affection! A kiss between family members! You wouldn't understand!"
"Oh?"
Ning Rongrong deliberately dragged out the sound, wearing a knowing expression. She leaned close to Xiao Wu's ear and whispered mischievously,
"Right, right, I don't understand."
"After all, I've never tried kissing my own brother before."
"But…"
Her gaze swept ambiguously between Lin Yuan and Xiao Wu.
"I've heard that some brothers and sisters start by kissing and eventually end up kissing on the bed."
"By then, it won't just be cheeks anymore. It'll be… hehe."
"Some deep exchanges."
"Ning Rongrong!"
Xiao Wu was so embarrassed that she almost started smoking from her head. She immediately chased after Ning Rongrong.
"You shameless pervert! I'm going to tear your mouth apart!"
"Come catch me if you can!"
Watching the two girls chasing and bickering, Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly.
This Ning Rongrong… despite her young age, she really knew how to drive the conversation. Who knew where she learned such things?
But after thinking about it again, Lin Yuan found it understandable.
Although Ning Rongrong appeared to be a refined and obedient young lady on the surface, deep down, she was surprisingly bold. One could even say she was secretly a bit of a little pervert.
From Lin Yuan's memory of the original story, the most unforgettable moment was when she was at Shrek Academy, facing Oscar's obscene spirit incantation, and said that shocking line.
And she said it right in front of everyone.
He wondered how Ning Rongrong could say such words without even changing her expression.
Was she really that confident about her figure back then?
Lin Yuan subconsciously glanced at Ning Rongrong's current figure.
Hmm… still completely flat, not even as developed as Xiao Wu.
After all, she cultivated the Heart Separation Control Technique. People who practiced that technique tended to have extremely clever and perceptive minds, so knowing a bit more than others was normal.
…
Night gradually fell, and the city lights came on.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy sank into quiet tranquility.
Dugu Yan changed into casual clothes and left the academy with Lin Yuan, heading toward a quiet villa outside Heaven Dou City.
That place was where Dugu Bo stayed whenever he was in Heaven Dou City.
Along the way, Dugu Yan looked around curiously before finally asking,
"Brother Lin Yuan, where is your master?"
"Why haven't I seen him the whole time?"
Lin Yuan replied calmly,
"He's hiding in the shadows. When we arrive, I'll call him out."
Soon, the two arrived at Dugu Bo's residence.
Inside the hall, Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly deep in thought.
When he saw Lin Yuan and Dugu Yan enter, a smile immediately appeared on his stern old face.
"Lin Yuan, you're here."
Lin Yuan nodded. Without wasting time, he softly called toward the empty air beside him.
"Master."
As his voice fell, the previously empty space suddenly rippled with silver light.
In the next moment, Zhao Yun stepped out from the void.
Even though Dugu Bo was already Rank 94, he still felt tremendous pressure when facing Zhao Yun.
"Junior Dugu Bo greets Your Excellency, Zhao Yun!"
So this was the oppressive aura of a Rank 99 Ultimate Douluo.
Zhao Yun's expression was cold and composed as he gave a faint nod.
"No need for formalities. Let us begin."
After speaking, Zhao Yun raised his hand and pointed.
A streak of silver light instantly shot into Dugu Bo's forehead.
"This contains the method for condensing an attribute soul core and the circulation route. Memorize it carefully."
Dugu Bo's body trembled slightly as he immediately closed his eyes to comprehend it.
Moments later, he suddenly opened his eyes, filled with shock and excitement.
"What an ingenious method! Liquefying soul power, compressing it, and spinning it into a core… brilliant! Truly brilliant!"
Zhao Yun waved his hand and set up a barrier, enveloping the entire hall.
"Begin. I will protect you."
Dugu Bo took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged.
Emerald-green soul power instantly spread out as his massive Rank 94 soul power began circulating wildly inside his body.
Under Zhao Yun's spiritual guidance and suppression, Dugu Bo carefully controlled his poison-attributed soul power and guided it toward his dantian.
This process was extremely dangerous. One small mistake could cause the poison to attack his heart and lead to his body exploding.
But under the protection of an Ultimate Douluo like Zhao Yun, everything proceeded smoothly.
Time passed slowly.
Finally, Dugu Bo shouted loudly,
"Condense!"
All the poisonous mist inside his body instantly compressed into the original inner core. Then it compressed again, transforming into a crystal-clear core that emitted a faint green glow.
The Jade Phosphor Soul Core was formed!
The moment the soul core took shape, a terrifying aura several times stronger than before suddenly erupted from Dugu Bo.
Rank 95!
"I actually broke through again!" Dugu Bo trembled with excitement.
This was not solely because of condensing the soul core.
It was also due to the remaining medicinal power from the pills Lin Yuan had refined earlier.
During the process of forming the soul core, those hidden medicinal effects were completely stimulated, helping him break through the bottleneck in one stroke.
"Many thanks, Your Excellency Zhao Yun!"
"Many thanks, Lin Yuan!"
Dugu Bo stood up and bowed deeply toward Zhao Yun.
Then he looked at the young man standing nearby with a smile, his heart filled with emotion.
This kid was practically his lucky star.
If not for the fact that Lin Yuan had such a terrifying master and their seniority made things awkward, he would definitely have dragged the boy into becoming sworn brothers.
What a loyal fellow.
After exchanging some words of gratitude, Lin Yuan saw that Dugu Bo's realm had stabilized and decided not to stay any longer.
"Senior Dugu Bo, since you've already broken through, we won't disturb you further."
