I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 285 Ning Rongrong Asks to Sell

Compared to Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing was much more selective. She wouldn't accept anyone with a weak bloodline, without good soul skills, or without exceptional age.

Because of these three principles, Xiao Wuji pinned Zhu Zhuqing to a tree and executed her on the spot countless times.

In the end, Xiao Wuji had no choice but to loosen the restrictions on attributes; any speed-type soul beast would suffice!
"What do you think of this Void Leopard? It has spatial attributes, and its soul skills will most likely be teleportation, claw attacks, or speed-enhancing abilities!"

"Actually, I think amplification-type soul skills are more cost-effective, and one or two attack soul skills are enough..."

To be honest, Xiao Wuji didn't quite understand the combination of Zhu Zhuqing's first two soul rings. If the first soul skill, Thrust, could be considered a speed-type skill, then the second soul skill was practically useless.

A hundred claw strikes to the same spot might seem like a way to break through the overall area, but anyone with a little experience can easily avoid this combo. Getting caught fifty times out of a hundred would be an achievement. If Xiao Wuji wanted to, she wouldn't be able to catch him even once.

Therefore, Xiao Wuji still wanted him to absorb a soul skill that could increase speed for his fourth soul skill. If it was an attack soul skill, it would be best to put it in the eighth or ninth ring.

Therefore, speed amplification would be better, but teleportation wouldn't make a difference.

Honestly, apart from some long-distance teleportation skills, soul skills like Xiao Wu's, which can only teleport a few meters, are not very useful. After condensing the soul core, one's perception of spatial power becomes extremely keen, making it easy to judge the landing point after teleportation and take precautions in advance.

Therefore, the teleportation soul skill can only be effective at low levels.

Zhu Zhuqing put her hands behind her back and asked cautiously, "How old is this soul beast?"

"Twenty-seven thousand years!"

"No, it's too low!"

"Hey, you've really given me the time of day!"

Rejected again, Xiao Wuji lost his patience and started to lash out. He clasped his hands together in a sword-finger gesture, and electricity surged across his arms, all the way to his fingertips.

Seeing this strange gesture, Zhu Zhuqing felt a sense of unease. Sure enough, the next moment Xiao Wuji disappeared before her eyes, and her hands, which were protecting her back, were kicked away.

"Well!!"

Zhu Zhuqing gasped in surprise, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed to the ground.

The two's playful fight instantly startled the Void Leopard, which was not far away. As the top-ranking soul beast in the food chain, it immediately wanted to see who was disturbing its afternoon nap.

Then it saw a fair-skinned two-legged creature walking towards it with a smile, but it felt that the creature's smile was creepy no matter how you looked at it.

Xiao Wuji looked at the somewhat dazed Void Leopard, lifted his left foot and gently landed, instantly forming a spatial barrier. Now, even if the Void Leopard wanted to escape, it would be difficult!
The spatial barrier isolates space, making escape impossible even with teleportation. What follows is a process of trapping the fish in a jar.

The sixth soul ring flashed, and the God-Devouring Spear condensed in Xiao Wuji's hand. Then, Xiao Wuji toyed with the Void Leopard like a cat playing with a mouse, constantly whipping its body with the spear in his hand, gradually eroding its soul power.

Just as Zhu Zhuqing got up from the ground, Xiao Wuji struck Kong Mingbao down with a single spear thrust, rendering him unable to rise again.

Raising his head, Xiao Wuji glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who seemed somewhat resistant, and brandished the God-Devouring Spear in his hand, threatening, "If you dare utter a single word of dissent, I'll use my God-Devouring Spear to help you develop your skills!"

Just as Zhu Zhuqing was about to refuse, she shivered violently and nodded emphatically, saying, "This is it! I'm not picky!"

I'm not picky! I'm not picky!! I'm picky!!
These three words echoed in Xiao Wuji's mind, as if mocking him for all the useless work he had done these past few days.

However, with the qualifying rounds almost over, it's more important to let Zhu Zhuqing absorb the spirit ring. We'll settle any scores later in the finals!
……

On the carriage heading to Wuhun City, Xiao Wuji diligently cultivated his fertile land, but unfortunately, all the seeds he sowed were dead, so naturally, no grain could grow.

Inside the carriage, Xiao Wuji lay on Dugu Yan's head cushion, kneading and admiring Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu's black and white ice creams.

Zhu Zhuqing was dressed unusually conservatively today, wearing a dark-colored long-sleeved lace top and a loose, puffy skirt, looking like a gothic little princess. However, she had the hem of her skirt in her mouth, and her face was flushed. She was half-squatting against the car door, her hands making a "V" sign above her head. Below the skirt, there was nothing but pure white, a pristine expanse from her waist to her feet, without a single blemish.

It's like a doll made of a special material being misused by an unscrupulous user.

As for Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, Xiao Wuji kicked them out of the house to drive his car and watch the gate. It was fine for the two of them to play around in private, but doing it in public would cause trouble.

Perhaps Ning Fengzhi will ask him to arrange a formal status for Ning Rongrong!

Even his favorite Zhu Zhuqing didn't receive this kind of treatment. How could Ning Rongrong possibly deserve a title by his side?
However, speaking of Zhu Zhuqing, once he arrives in Wuhun City, he's determined to devour both sisters thoroughly. He's never used a proper entrance before, not even now, in preparation for that day.

To keep clean, Zhu Zhuqing washed herself three times a day, inside and out, which was such a waste of time! But for her own happiness, she had no choice but to make do with it.

Meanwhile, in Ning Fengzhi's carriage, Ning Rongrong was pretending to be sulking.

"What's so great about those vixens? They hang out with me without me, fine, but they even made me guard the gate and drive the carriage! I won't do that!"

"They spend my money every day to buy that kind of stuff, and they won't even let me have a sip of soup. They won't teach me martial arts techniques, fine, but they think they can just send me away with a soul bone!"

"At this rate, when will I ever become a goddess..."

Listening to his daughter's outrageous words, Ning Fengzhi was quite troubled. On the one hand, he was troubled by his daughter's unruly personality, and on the other hand, he was troubled by Shenzi's stubbornness.

He only spent her money because the Divine Son knew that their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was incredibly wealthy, and what he spent was nothing compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Moreover, he even used a soul bone to repay these favors.

The only two times I helped him hunt for spirit rings, I even received payment for both, so there's no question of any favor between us!

They thought that with their daughter's looks, they could easily climb up to her... well, it's a bit impolite to say that, but it was a thought shared by both father and daughter.

"Rongrong, calm down. How am I supposed to help you if you keep making a scene like this?"

After finally calming down the unruly Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi began to ponder the reasons why the Divine Child had done this.

He discovered that among the God's women, besides captives like Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing, there were only Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong.

He had investigated Xiao Wu; she was just an ordinary little girl, though her background was somewhat mysterious. As for Liu Erlong, she was a disciple of the Blue Dot Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, and her age was about the same as his. It didn't make sense for the Divine Son to dislike the troublesome nature of sects and avoid deeper involvement. Could it be that the two had something in common...?

Thinking this way, Ning Fengzhi asked Ning Rongrong, since the information he had gathered was only superficial.

"Then Dad's idea must be right. He just dislikes that I have a sect and family behind me, so he can't play with me as he pleases!"

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's guess and doubt, Ning Rongrong immediately confirmed the result and explained to Ning Fengzhi, "Dad, you have no idea. Xiao Wu is actually a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form. However, her cultivation was absorbed by the Divine Son, and she became an ordinary person. It is said that even if she is killed again, she will not be able to obtain a soul ring or soul bone. Now she is just a dog under the Divine Son's feet."

"Liu Erlong tried to take action against the Divine Child because of Yu Xiaogang's matter, but he angered the Divine Child and the Divine Child found some secret about him, so he begged to become the Divine Child's dog."

"Moreover, Liu Erlong is just an illegitimate child. Even she herself doesn't acknowledge her identity as a disciple of the Blue Dot Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect, so it's even less likely that the Divine Child would care!"

"Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan are prisoners of the Divine Child, no wonder the Divine Child is only interested in them!"

Having "figured out" the whole story, Ning Rongrong immediately pleaded with Ning Fengzhi, "Father, you must help me this time!"

"After the tournament ends, the Divine Child will go to other places to train. In the future, I will hardly have the opportunity to follow him. Let alone become a Divine Consort, I may not even be able to complete the mission of the God!"
