"Not just the eyes, the body has grown quite a bit too..."

Ning Rongrong stared blankly at Xiao Lan's body. She keenly noticed that Xiao Lan had suddenly grown a lot and had far surpassed her!

A hint of bitterness appeared on his lips. This was too unfair, too much of a bullying!

"Xiao Lan!?" Seeing that Xiao Lan seemed not to have come to her senses yet, Dugu Bo couldn't help but call out to her again.

Frowning, he was also somewhat confused about what was going on.

"Huh? Ah! I'm... I'm fine, brother has already absorbed it!"

Completely suppressing the abnormality, and with her eyes returning to normal, Xiao Lan felt the changes in her body and a look of joy appeared on her face. She had finally grown a little bigger!

But Ye Qiu's instructions made her afraid to say more, so she changed the subject and led the way to run towards Ye Qiu.

Upon hearing that Ye Qiu had finished, Ning Rongrong and her companion, preoccupied with their lover, put aside their doubts and immediately rushed to Ye Qiu's location.

Only Dugu Bo sensed something was amiss.

Although he was already used to Xiao Lan's rapid growth, just now... he sensed that Xiao Lan's soul power had broken through to the Soul Master level!?

Watching Xiao Lan's retreating figure, his dark green eyebrows furrowed together.

'This girl doesn't seem to have hunted any spirit rings before, how could she suddenly become a Spirit Master? Wait! Could it be... she's a spirit beast in human form!?'

Surprise appeared in Dugu Bo's eyes as he stared intently at Xiao Lan. He quickly noticed Ye Qiu and Dugu Yan in his line of sight, and the greed in his eyes quickly vanished without a trace.

He couldn't help but pat his forehead hard.

'I'm getting old, almost senile! Not only can I not sense even the slightest trace of her soul beast aura, but even if she were, it would be useless to me... We're on the same side, on the same side!'

"hehe..."

Dugu Bo chuckled self-deprecatingly, his expression quickly returning to normal, and walked towards Ye Qiu.

At this moment, three purple-black spirit rings were floating beneath Ye Qiu, and three women were surrounding him, staring intently at him.

Slowly, Ye Qiu put away his spirit ring, opened his eyes, glanced at the people around him, and then spotted Xiao Lan, rolling his eyes at her furiously.

"Brother~ What's wrong? Why are you looking at Xiao Lan like that..."

Xiao Lan clutched the hem of her clothes, her face flushed, and lowered her head, even adopting a slightly coy posture.

She thought it was the change in her figure that made Ye Qiu look at her in a new light.

"..." Ye Qiu stared at her intently, several black lines appearing on his forehead, his fists clenching.

"Ye Qiu!"

Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan watched this scene strangely, then stepped forward at the same time to help Ye Qiu up.

"Kid! How come you're only level 31?"

Dugu Bo, who had just walked over, sensed the lingering soul power fluctuations emanating from Ye Qiu and was immediately puzzled.

"Huh? Level 31?"

"Ye Qiu, are you alright?"

Ning Rongrong and the other girl looked at Ye Qiu in surprise. The third ring takes ten thousand years, how could he only be level 31!?

Ye Qiu smiled wryly, then glanced speechlessly at Xiao Lan beside him...

Chapter 141 led to this.

Actually, saying that Ye Qiu is only level 31 is not entirely true.

His current cultivation level is not far from level 32, and he should be able to break through in about half a month.

As for why he kept staring at Xiao Lan like that, it's because she was also one of the instigators of all this...

When the Crimson Flame Wolf offered its sacrifice, most of its energy was absorbed by the Seed of Life within its body.

What was originally just a sprout is now showing signs of becoming a seedling, with its tiny leaves about to unfurl.

Faced with Ye Qiu's gaze, Xiao Lan finally realized something was wrong, and her previously feigned shyness vanished.

She clutched the hem of her clothes and asked tentatively and cautiously.

"Brother~ Did Xiao Lan do something wrong again?"

"Hehe...no, no!" Ye Qiu waved his hand; he was just venting.

"Oh!" Xiao Lan responded sadly, while Hu Zi next to her nuzzled her face, as if comforting her.

"Hey kid, what's wrong with you? What's going on? Yan Yan absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring and broke through to level 43, how come you, a Soul Master, are only level 1?"

Level 1? No! It shouldn't even be level 1, since reaching level 31 is inevitable after absorbing the spirit ring!

Dugu Bo frowned, his eyes sweeping over the two siblings. Was neither of them a normal person anymore?!

"Ye Qiu?" ×2

"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Ye Qiu squeezed the two girls' hands and remained silent for a moment.

Amidst the strange looks from the others, he walked up to Xiao Lan.

"Okay, don't be upset!" He patted her head, then hugged her and patted her back.

"Brother~"

Xiao Lan snuggled into his arms, and Ye Qiu leaned close to her ear, speaking gently.

"Unleash your cultivation power..."

"what?"

"What do you mean 'huh'? Be a good girl!" He reached out and poked her smooth forehead, then took her hand.

Facing the group, three dark purple spirit rings rose from beneath his feet. Although Xiao Lan was puzzled, she obediently released her spirit rings as well.

"Ah! Little Blue, when did you become a Soul Master?"

Ning Rongrong gasped in surprise, staring at Xiao Lan in shock.

I've been with her the whole time, how could I not know when she went to get her spirit ring!

Seeing the three spirit rings rising from Xiao Lan's feet, Ning Rongrong once again spoke without thinking.

"And...and the spirit rings are too..."

“Three thousand-year soul rings!” Dugu Yan looked at Xiao Lan in surprise.

Those three soul rings shimmered with an eerie purple light; the third ring was even so purple it was almost black!

Dugu Bo frowned, not understanding what Ye Qiu was trying to do—reveal Xiao Lan's identity?

"Is it strange? Actually, Xiao Lan and I have a special symbiotic relationship. I even have to give her a portion of my cultivation!"

Ye Qiu chuckled and revealed the connection between the two to the public.

As they spent more time together, it was inevitable that Xiao Lan would eventually be exposed for obtaining spirit rings without hunting spirit beasts, so Ye Qiu simply revealed part of the truth.

"A symbiotic relationship?" Ning Rongrong felt that she had received a lot of information today, much of which had shattered her original understanding, leaving her mind in a bit of a mess.

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Lan nodded firmly, wrapping her arm around Ye Qiu's, a smile spreading across her face. "So Xiao Lan can't live without her brother..."

"No wonder, so Little Blue was breaking through just now!"

Dugu Yan immediately understood and remembered where she had seen Xiao Lan with heterochromatic eyes before.

No wonder Ye Qiu's body changed after Xiao Lan was enveloped by that red and blue sphere.

So the two of them had this kind of connection!

"Is that so?"

Dugu Bo looked somewhat surprised and uncertain. As an old and shrewd man, he naturally thought things through more comprehensively.

Even if Ye Qiu's explanation can explain Xiao Lan's self-generated spirit ring, why would he use Xiao Lan's domain?

'This kid's not honest!'

Dugu Bo gave Ye Qiu a meaningful look, but didn't say anything. In any case, he was determined to be the grandfather.

With a wide grin, my mood brightened again.

"Haha...Alright, alright, since you're okay, let's head out!"

"Okay, I'll take you out now!"

"Roar~!"

Just as Ye Qiu was about to act, the Jade-Eyed Cloud-Winged Tiger let out a low growl and snatched a soul bone from the corpse of the Crimson Flame Demon Wolf.

"Hmm? Hehe... I almost forgot!" Ye Qiu patted its tiger head and took the soul bone in his hand.

This is a right leg bone, entirely red, and it feels slightly burning when held in the hand.

……

At midday, under the blazing sun, in the Sunset Forest.

Two figures, one old and one young, appeared in an open space. Ye Qiu looked at Dugu Bo, who was about to embark on another long journey, with a strange expression.

"Senior, you're not going to find someone else to spar with again, are you?"
