Douluo Continent: I've joined forces with Tang San and taken Xiao Wu as my concubine!

Chapter 83, What is effort compared to having cheat codes?

Xiao Wu sat quietly in Meng Bei's arms, her eyes clear and bright, revealing an innocent and naive feeling.

But in fact, this little rabbit is the most charming.

Her small feet were clad in soft white socks, the soles of which were white with a hint of pink. She gently stepped on Meng Bei's thighs. She wore a backless top, and her slender waist rubbed against Meng Bei's chest, making him want to commit a crime.

Xiao Wu sat cross-legged, her soul power condensing and slowly forming her fourth soul ring.

Meng Bei stayed close to Xiao Wu, protecting her.

It was just a bit of playful banter between lovers; while protecting her, Meng Bei couldn't help but tease her.

"No, they're currently forming a spirit ring. Too much spirit power will interrupt them."

Xiao Wu blinked her crystal-clear pink eyes and pleaded pitifully with Meng Bei.

Meng Bei replied, "It's alright, I'll be very careful."

Outside, a light drizzle was falling from the sky.

Rainwater mixed with mud flowed into the cave, waking Tang San from his unconscious state.

Tang San groggily opened his eyes, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he hurriedly turned over to look for the immortal herbs around him, only to find that they were gone, all of his immortal herbs were gone!

"No, no!"

His opportunity, the foundation upon which he rose to power, vanished just like that!

Tang San roared, his expression filled with intense resentment.

"Who was it? Which bastard stole my immortal herb? I swear I will never forgive you! If I ever find out who you are, I will wipe out your entire family!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, Tang Hao, who was secretly guarding Meng Bei outside the door, couldn't help but sneeze loudly.

A light rain was falling outside, and Meng Bei inside was doing something, having stayed inside for so long without coming out.

Tang Hao couldn't help but wonder, he was already a Title Douluo, how could a little rain make him sneeze?

Although Tang Hao himself had been put in a slave collar, this did not mean that he had become a mindless puppet.

On the contrary, his thinking ability did not disappear. On the surface, he was almost no different from a normal person, and he also had joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, and the seven emotions and six desires.

However, due to the function of the slave collar, Tang Hao would unhesitatingly consider all of Meng Bei's actions and demands as reasonable and correct.

For example, if Meng Bei asks him to watch the door from the outside, Tang Hao will think in his heart that it is reasonable and correct for him to watch the door from the outside, just like people need to eat and drink, which is a matter of course.

Meng Bei ordered Tang Hao to steal Tang San's immortal herb. Originally, Tang Hao, as Tang San's father, felt very reluctant to let him lay a hand on his own son.

However, since this was Meng Bei's request, Tang Hao, under the influence of the slave collar, directly considered it reasonable and justified. Therefore, even though Tang Hao felt reluctant, he still acted without hesitation.

It can be said that the slave collar was too powerful, completely belonging to the level of a rule-based artifact. Tang Hao had no ability to resist at all, and was enslaved by Meng Bei without even realizing it. He was driven by Meng Bei in great pain without any complaints.

When Meng Bei finally came out of Xiao Wu's room, the rain had stopped. Meng Bei then led Xiao Wu, Rong Rong, Dugu Yan, and Liu Erlong to hunt for souls.

Xiao Wu had already formed her fourth spirit ring, but she still needed to maintain the proper disguise. Spirit rings don't just appear out of thin air, so she had to go out anyway.

On the way, they ran into Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

Over the past few days, Dai Mubai had been trying to subtly inquire about Meng Bei's method for increasing his soul power.

It should be noted that only about half a year had passed since Meng Bei joined Shrek Academy, yet his soul power had already increased from level 29 to over level 50.

In just six months, his soul power increased by at least 20 levels, leaving Dai Mubai utterly dumbfounded.

He was determined to find out how Meng Bei could increase his soul power. If he could get that method, he wouldn't need to worry about reaching level 20 or even level 10; just leveling up by 10 would be enough for him to rival Davis.

Therefore, Dai Mubai's gaze towards Meng Bei has been incredibly intense these past few days.

He deliberately created opportunities to meet Meng Bei every day, even if it meant being extremely humble!

In contrast, Zhu Zhuqing shared the same thoughts as Dai Mubai. However, Zhu Zhuqing was shy and would only use training as an excuse to chat with Meng Bei for a few minutes.

Meng Bei and Zhu Zhuqing were once teammates at Shrek Academy, and they often trained together.

However, Zhu Zhuqing was a bit aloof at the time, and Meng Bei lost patience with her after having Xiao Wu and Rongrong, so he didn't pay much attention to her anymore.

Today, the group happened to meet and, after asking each other questions, learned that they were both preparing to hunt for spirit rings because of their breakthroughs in spirit power.

"Rongrong, weren't you only level 28 a few days ago? You've already broken through to level 30?"

Zhu Zhuqing asked in shock.

"Um."

Ning Rongrong nodded somewhat shyly and said:

"Actually, it's not just me, but also Xiaowu and Sister Yanyan, they have all broken through."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's eyes widened in disbelief, utterly shocked. He asked Xiao Wu incredulously:

"Xiao Wu, you... you've broken through too! You've reached the Soul Master level?"

Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Yes."

Dai Mubai's expression froze on the spot.

"This is impossible! This is impossible! You've only been a Soul Master for a short time, how could this be!"

Xiao Wu didn't speak, but simply looked at Meng Bei.

At that moment, Dai Mubai instantly understood.

It turned out to be the case.

Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan are all related to Meng Bei.

That's why...

Dai Mubai opened his mouth, the shock in his heart leaving him unable to recover for a long time.

Zhu Zhuqing, standing to the side, watched the scene unfold in silence. At that moment, a sense of absurdity suddenly arose in her heart, and her faith crumbled instantly.

Over the years, she has put in so much effort and sweat.

She wasn't particularly talented and was quite young. In order to survive in the struggle for the crown prince position, she cultivated day and night, hoping to narrow the gap in strength between herself and others.

Ma Hongjun is more talented than her, but now they have reached level 30 at almost the same time.

She caught up with Ma Hongjun's level through sheer hard work, a result of her almost insane dedication.

Zhu Zhuqing was initially quite pleased with herself after reaching level 30 today.

But the situation she was facing now felt like a resounding slap in the face.

Ning Rongrong, who was level 28 just a few days ago and hardly cultivated at all, has now broken through to level 30, just like her.

Xiao Wu, who is the same age, has already broken through to level 40.

Then what about her efforts?

Reflecting on all the efforts she had made along the way, a tremendous sense of injustice instantly overwhelmed her. Zhu Zhuqing stubbornly pursed her lips, her beautiful, cat-like eyes brimming with tears.

At this moment, Meng Bei smiled gently and extended his hand to Zhu Zhuqing, saying:

"Since Sister Zhuqing has also broken through, that's perfect! Let's go soul hunting together!"
