Chapter 24: Sharp Commentary on Zhu Zhuqing! Are All the Men of Shrek Trash?
After hearing Song Ye's assurance, Xiao Wu and the two soul beasts still looked at him with suspicion.
The Titan Giant Ape sneered, "I think you just want Sister Xiao Wu to walk to her death!"
"With two Titled Douluo, how could they not capture her and hunt her for a soul ring and soul bone?"
Song Ye retorted, "That's because you lack information and have made a wrong judgment!"
"In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, there are only four notable figures: the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, Ning Rongrong, and Ning Fengzhi!"
"The Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo have no soul ring slots left. Even if they killed Xiao Wu for a soul bone, they would have to waste a hundred-thousand-year soul ring. There would only be one soul bone—how would they divide it?"
"Ning Fengzhi is restricted by his martial soul and cannot level up to obtain a soul ring either."
"The only possibility is to capture the soul beast and keep it for Ning Rongrong in the future."
"But Xiao Wu, ask yourself honestly, would Ning Rongrong harm you for a soul ring and a soul bone?"
Xiao Wu thought for a moment, then quickly shook her head. "I can tell that Rongrong would never do that!"
"Exactly!" Song Ye continued. "If you're still worried, there are additional preparations."
"In the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, there is an immortal herb called 'Beautiful Silk Tulip.' If Ning Rongrong consumes it, her potential will increase, and her martial soul will evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
"With this as a benefit exchange, Ning Fengzhi would absolutely not dare to harm you!"
"What if they simply take all the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for themselves?" the Sky Azure Bull Python asked worriedly.
Song Ye sneered, "Very simple. The consumption and usage of immortal herbs require special methods."
"Some of them are even poisonous or carry extreme cold and heat. Without my guidance, how would they dare to consume them?"
"If they take the wrong one, not only do they gain no benefits, but they might even lose their lives!"
"With your relationship with Ning Rongrong, plus my technical knowledge, and the fact that immortal herbs have little effect on older people, under all these conditions, what could they possibly do?"
Xiao Wu pondered for a moment, carefully observing Song Ye. In the end, she found no issues with trusting him.
She sighed helplessly and decided to take the gamble.
Seeing her expression change, the Titan Giant Ape nervously asked, "Sister Xiao Wu, you're not actually going to believe him, are you?"
Xiao Wu replied helplessly, "I have already transformed into a human. If I don't go to the human world, my cultivation will stagnate."
"If I cannot break through, I won't be able to take revenge, and I won't have much lifespan left."
"If I don't go now, I'll just die a few decades later. What difference does early or late death make?"
"I just want to grow stronger before I die and avenge my mother!"
"Sister Xiao Wu…" The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python looked at her, already knowing what would come next.
In the end, the two beasts sighed helplessly. They could not oppose her.
After discussing for a long time, both sides finally confirmed their course of action.
Originally, Song Ye had considered letting the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape temporarily transform into human form to escort Xiao Wu to obtain the immortal herb.
However, while fierce beasts in later eras could temporarily transform, in this era, there was no indication that ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beasts could do so.
Otherwise, they could have done so in the original story to protect Xiao Wu.
Thus, they could only rely on the Titled Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
After settling everything, Xiao Wu even wanted to act immediately, saying they might still catch up with Rongrong and the others.
However, before leaving, the Sky Azure Bull Python showed some caution. It took out a poisonous herb and forcefully fed it to Song Ye.
The Sky Azure Bull Python explained, "Sister Xiao Wu, we won't be by your side. I'm afraid this person might run away."
"Human boy, I obtained this poisonous herb long ago. Without me to detoxify you, you will die within a month!"
"If you do not obey Sister Xiao Wu, just wait for death!"
Song Ye's eyelid twitched, but he said nothing. He could understand this behavior.
Unfortunately for them, his martial soul was the Tree of Life, possessing the ultimate life attribute. As for poison, given some time, he could purify his body and remove it within half a month.
Of course, he still pretended to be afraid to lower their guard. At the same time, he planned to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain a few immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Song Ye had no choice but to pretend to agree. "Fine, I won't rest then."
Xiao Wu bid farewell to Da Ming and Er Ming, and Song Ye spent money to hire the fastest carriage, rushing forward to catch up with Ning Rongrong and the others.
Half a day later, near evening, luck was on their side.
By chance, Xiao Wu spotted Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing in a city, preparing to get off their carriage and find a hotel to stay for the night.
This place was already very close to Heaven Dou City. By tomorrow morning, they would arrive.
Upon seeing them, Xiao Wu did not hesitate and immediately ran forward, shouting:
"Rongrong! Zhuqing!"
It seemed as if fate had aligned their carriages, as they had not drifted far apart. This excited shout immediately startled Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
"Zhuqing, did you hear that?" Ning Rongrong asked.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, and the two turned around at the same time.
The next moment, they saw Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu!"
"Xiao Wu, you're here?!"
The two girls could not have imagined that after just half a day of sorrow, having lost a friend, Xiao Wu would return.
The three reunited, overjoyed, hugging each other as they poured out their emotions.
Meanwhile, Song Ye stood behind them, speechless, handing over Gold Soul Coins to the two carriage drivers.
"Damn it, you girls are reuniting, and I'm the one paying!"
"One day I'll squeeze everything out of you!" Song Ye muttered.
Before awakening his system, he had lived a hard life and was very frugal.
Afterward, Xiao Wu explained everything to them, saying that this friend named Song Ye had a way to conceal her soul beast aura.
Since she trusted Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, she came to seek their help to obtain the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
After hearing everything, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were both shocked:
"What? Immortal herbs actually exist?!"
"They can even evolve my martial soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?!"
"And Xiao Wu, you even want to give me one. But my Hell Spirit Cat doesn't need evolution, right?"
The two girls were nearly overwhelmed, never expecting such mysterious and terrifying things to exist in the world.
Finally, Xiao Wu pulled Song Ye over and introduced him to them.
After explaining everything clearly, Ning Rongrong immediately stated:
"Xiao Wu, don't worry at all. As long as I'm here, no one in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will harm you!"
"How about this: we rest briefly tonight and set off for Heaven Dou City at dawn tomorrow!"
"I'll enter the sect first, explain everything, then bring you in."
"Alright!"
The two agreed. They found a nearby hotel and booked two rooms, while Song Ye stayed in one by himself.
Night fell.
Song Ye waited casually. "Whatever, the poisonous herb from the Sky Azure Bull Python barely affects me."
"And I can even get some immortal herbs."
"At this time, today's Sharp Commentary task should be coming. I wonder who it will be."
Just as he was thinking, the system notification appeared, revealing today's task.
