Douluo Continent: Twin Blue Silver Grasses, Life and Death in Transmission!

Chapter 43 Irresistible Desire

"Ugh!" Ning Rongrong almost vomited, her face turning green. "What the hell is this?!"

Dugu Yan gloated from the side, "Now you know how powerful that is, right?"

Ye Xuanming and Ye Lingling also drank the Millennium Whale Glue, and then jumped into their respective wooden barrels.

Since this wasn't the first time they had taken Millennium Whale Glue, all three of them had developed some resistance, and their reactions weren't as strong as last time.

But Ning Rongrong is different.

At first, she could sit normally in the wooden tub and even had the mood to argue with Dugu Yan.

"You green-haired wicked woman, just you wait and see how I make a fool of myself!"

"Little pink-haired brat, just don't cry later."

But soon, the effects of the century-old whale glue began to take hold.

A surge of heat rose from deep within Ning Rongrong's lower abdomen and instantly spread throughout her body.

Her face quickly turned bright red, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"It's so hot—" Ning Rongrong began to squirm uncomfortably. "Why is it so hot!"

Ye Xingyue quickly went over to check on her: "Rongrong, how are you feeling now?"

"It's so hot!" Ning Rongrong's voice trembled slightly. "Aunt Ye, am I going to die?"

"No, this is a normal reaction," Ye Xingyue reassured her, adding ice cubes to the wooden bucket.

However, as the medication took effect, Ning Rongrong's reaction became increasingly intense.

She started talking nonsense and splashing her little hands haphazardly in the water.

"I want to go home! I want Grandpa Sword! I want Grandpa Bone!"

Dugu Yan chuckled to herself from inside the wooden tub next door: "Little pink-haired girl, now you know how powerful you are, right?"

"You—you bad woman—" Ning Rongrong mumbled, pointing at Dugu Yan, "When I get better—I must—I must tell Dad—"

Although Ye Xuanming was also suffering from the effects of the whale glue, he was still able to remain rational: "Rongrong, hang in there, it will be over soon."

But Ning Rongrong was no longer listening.

Although the century-old whale glue is much milder than the millennium-old one, it is still a huge test for a pampered little girl like her.

Gradually, Ning Rongrong's voice grew softer and softer until she finally leaned against the edge of the wooden tub and fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan couldn't help but laugh and say, "That pink-haired little girl is still just a little girl; she can't even endure this little bit of hardship."

Ye Xuanming and Ye Lengling exchanged a glance and couldn't help but chuckle.

Unexpectedly, Dugu Yan is quite childish, even though her own reaction the first time wasn't much better.

Ye Xingyue checked Ning Rongrong's condition with concern and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was just unconscious.

"This girl is indeed quite delicate, but the medicine is still working, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

For the rest of the time, the three of them quietly endured the effects of the whale gelatin in the wooden tub.

Ye Xuanming felt the increase in power within his body and was secretly satisfied.

The effects of the Millennium Whale Glue were indeed remarkable; he could feel a significant improvement in his physical condition.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lengleng were in similar condition; both of them looked much better than before.

Only Ning Rongrong remained unconscious, occasionally letting out a soft moan in her sleep.

"Brother Ye—don't leave me—"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuanming's heart stirred.

Although this little girl is usually mischievous, she is actually quite insecure deep down.

After all, having been so well protected since childhood, it's inevitable to feel uneasy about suddenly leaving a familiar environment.

Time passed slowly, and the night grew deeper.

The three of them emerged from the wooden tub one after another and changed into clean clothes.

Ning Rongrong was still unconscious, so Ye Xingyue had no choice but to carry her back to her room to rest.

"She should wake up tomorrow morning," Ye Xingyue said softly. "We'll see how it goes then."

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains.

Ning Rongrong slowly opened her eyes, feeling a little dizzy.

"Where am I?" She sat up groggily, then remembered what happened last night. "Oh right, I drank that disgusting stuff—"

Ning Rongrong moved her arms and suddenly noticed something was wrong.

"what?"

She jumped off the bed, bounced around the room a few times, and a look of surprise appeared on her little face.

"My body... seems different!"

Ning Rongrong felt that she had become stronger and more agile.

She tried to release her martial spirit, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in her hand, emitting a brighter light than before.

"My soul power has increased a little!" Ning Rongrong jumped up excitedly.

Ning Rongrong rushed excitedly into the yard and hugged Ye Xuanming tightly.

"Brother Ye! Brother Ye! I've become stronger!"

Ye Xuanming was knocked back half a step by her, but quickly steadied himself. "Rongrong, you're awake? How are you feeling?"

Ning Rongrong let go of Ye Xuanming and jumped around in the yard.

"I feel great! My body feels so much lighter, and my soul power has increased too!"

She excitedly released the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, which emitted a brighter light than before.

"Look! Isn't my martial spirit more beautiful than before?"

Dugu Yan was carrying breakfast out of the kitchen when she heard Ning Rongrong's words. She pouted, "That's how powerful that thing from yesterday is."

Dugu Yan put down the plate and put her hands on her hips.

"If you call me a green-haired bad woman again, I'll have Xuanming throw you back."

Ning Rongrong immediately dropped her smug expression, her face flushing red. "I—I didn't mean to call you a bad woman!"

"Really?" Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow. "Then you were talking in your sleep the whole time yesterday, what?"

"That green-haired bad woman isn't allowed to steal Brother Ye," and so on.

Ning Rongrong's face turned even redder, and she hurriedly waved her hand.

"I didn't! I never said anything like that!"

Ye Lengleng walked out of the room, shaking her head with a light laugh. "Yanzi, stop bullying Rongrong."

"I'm disciplining her!" Dugu Yan said matter-of-factly. "Children need to be disciplined."

Ning Rongrong stomped her feet angrily.

"I'm not a child! And you're only fifteen, not much older than me!"

"Can fifteen years old and seven years old be the same?" Dugu Yan rolled her eyes. "I'm almost sixteen, okay?"

Ye Xingyue came out of the kitchen with a bowl of porridge and saw the children bickering again. She smiled and shook her head.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing and let's eat breakfast first."

She walked over to Ning Rongrong and gently patted her head.

"Rongrong, are you feeling better? You scared Aunt Ye to death last night."

Ning Rongrong lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly. "Aunt Ye, I'm sorry for making you worry."

"It's okay, everyone's like this the first time," Ye Xingyue comforted her. "You'll get used to it."

Several people sat around the stone table, enjoying a cozy breakfast.

For the next two weeks, Ning Rongrong became the three of them's shadow.

When she was in school, she always stayed close to Ye Xuanming, afraid that someone would snatch him away.

After class, she would pester Ye Xuanming to tell her all sorts of interesting stories.

During combat training, although she cannot directly participate in the battle, she will cheer for everyone from the sidelines.

Most importantly, she actively participates in the whale gelatin body training every night.

Although she had to endure the nauseating smell every time, seeing her strength improve made it all worthwhile.

One morning, half a month later, Ning Rongrong was practicing releasing her martial spirit in the courtyard when she suddenly felt fluctuations in her soul power.
