Chapter 16 The Little Witch Has a Rival? I'm Ye Tianchen's Number One!
"Huh?! What's going on?! Why is there an extra person?!"
In Ning Rongrong's room at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Looking at the azure panel in front of her, Ning Rongrong's face was filled with a mixture of shock and anger, like a child whose private toy had been taken away.
On the azure panel, the number of cloud-raised goddesses has changed from one to two.
[The number of goddesses you virtually nurture may vary, but there's no doubt that you are all chosen by the gods.]
A faint voice echoed in her mind.
"No! I don't want to share with anyone!"
Ning Rongrong shook her head vigorously, not even knowing why she was arguing about it.
You can choose to give up continuing to raise your pet online.
"Stop talking nonsense! I was here first, why should I give up?!"
Ning Rongrong, who grew up under the influence of aristocratic etiquette, rarely swore. She grabbed the doll on the bed with her slender hand and shook it, as if she mistook it for the hateful voice in her mind.
After venting her anger, Ning Rongrong brushed the strands of hair from her forehead behind her ears, and her face gained a touch of elegance.
"Dog... God, why don't you cancel all the other cloud goddesses? I can raise Ye Tianchen by myself. Don't worry, under my care, Ye Tianchen will definitely grow into the strongest being on the continent."
After saying that, Ning Rongrong's clear, glass-like eyes flickered slightly, as if she was waiting for the voice in her mind to answer.
The resources you possess are insufficient to support Cloud-based object cultivation becoming the strongest on the continent.
The ethereal voice echoed in her mind once more, and Ning Rongrong's pretty face froze for a moment.
"Insufficient resources? God, are you out of your mind? I am Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! One of the most powerful forces on the Douluo Continent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, whose wealth is comparable to that of a country!"
Ning Rongrong, who was both amused and annoyed, blushed and punched the doll's face twice more.
"Furthermore, I spent seven billion gold soul coins for Ye Tianchen without even blinking an eye. Could that fox spirit do that? Even if we're estimating contribution value, my contribution, Ning Rongrong's, is the highest!"
[A request to "Raise a Goddess in the Cloud" has been detected. A contribution ranking list has been generated. Rewards will be given for every ten contribution points earned, including but not limited to Soul Power and Soul Ring Age... The first "Raise a Goddess in the Cloud" to reach one hundred contribution points will receive a grand contribution gift pack!]
"My contribution points must be far ahead, not to mention a hundred, at least six... six points?! Only six contribution points?!"
Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
On the contribution list with only two names, the number "6" in her column stands out starkly.
What she found most unacceptable was that the guy named "Little Bunny Who Loves Carrots" was ranked ahead of her and had three more contribution points!
"It's a conspiracy! It's absolutely a conspiracy! What did she contribute? How come her contribution points are three more than mine?!"
Her budding breasts heaved, and Ning Rongrong felt a fire burning inside her chest.
[A little rabbit who loves carrots fed a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Azure Bull Python, which was raised in the cloud!]
"Gah—"
Ning Rongrong stared at the record in front of her, and the anger in her chest was extinguished in an instant.
"That...that can't be...that's just..."
Ning Rongrong's voice became hesitant, and her small face turned red again at a visible speed, but this time it was from embarrassment.
"This is so annoying! How could anyone feed a 100,000-year-old soul beast directly?! Isn't that cheating?!"
She collapsed onto the bed, pounding the pillow beneath her, her voice both anxious and embarrassed.
[Unlimited resources can be provided for feeding...]
The ethereal voice echoed in her mind again, but to Ning Rongrong, it was not an explanation, but rather adding fuel to the fire.
"It's just feeding soul beasts, right?! I can do that too! You little bunny who loves carrots, huh? You just wait! I'm Ye Tianchen's number one!"
Leaving behind a harsh remark, Ning Rongrong strode away from her room.
...
"Achoo~"
Xiao Wu rubbed her sore nose and tightened her pink dress.
"Sister Xiaowu, do you have a cold? You can stay a few more days and get better before you leave."
The Titan Ape looked down at Xiao Wu, its golden eyes filled with deep concern.
"No, I've already stayed long enough this time. I'll come to see you again when I have more time."
Xiao Wu gently shook her head, her face showing a hint of determination.
"What about Brother Tianchen? Is Sister Xiaowu no longer going to follow him?"
"When did you two become so close? You've started calling each other brothers?"
Although Xiao Wu ostensibly left with the Titan Ape, she would actually frequently appear with the Titan Ape in Ye Tianchen's activity area to ensure his safety. After all, the Star Dou Forest was not only home to soul beasts, but also to soul masters who hunted soul beasts in groups.
However, Ye Tianchen was clearly aware of this and often avoided areas with people, so all in all, they only met Ye Tianchen a handful of times.
"What's that saying again...? Right, instant rapport. Brother Tianchen and I hit it off immediately. Plus, Brother Tianchen can tell really interesting stories, which I really enjoy listening to."
The Titan Ape grinned, revealing a human-like smile on its dark face, though it looked somewhat ferocious.
"Fine, whatever makes you happy. But remember, you can protect him, but don't let him become too dependent on you. He can only protect the soul bone belonging to Da Ming by rapidly increasing his strength, understand?"
Xiao Wu sighed helplessly, then her face turned serious.
"Don't worry, Sister Xiaowu, I remember everything."
The Titan Ape thumped its chest loudly, taking Xiao Wu's words to heart.
"Alright, let's go. Take me to see Ye Tianchen. Before I leave, there are a few things I want to tell him."
Xiao Wu reached out and touched the Titan Ape's furry ears.
The Titan Ape let out a long cry, sensing its own aura on Ye Tianchen's wrist. It pushed aside the towering trees in front of it and sped off towards Ye Tianchen.
.....
Feeling the earth tremble, Ye Tianchen and Luo Sanpao, the Azure Python coiled around his wrist, looked to their right almost simultaneously.
A hairy hand the size of a carriage pushed aside the towering tree in front of Ye Tianchen, revealing the massive, mountain-like body of the Titan Ape, casting a large shadow.
"Are the Titan Brothers here to hear stories again today?"
Ye Tianchen greeted the Titan Ape with a smile.
The Titan Ape showed a human-like expression of interest, but after hearing a cough beside it, it shook its head in realization.
"If you don't want to hear the story, Sister Xiaowu will come looking for you."
As it spoke, it crouched down, revealing Xiao Wu sitting on its shoulder.
