Chapter 18: Does He Look Down on My Husband?

"..." Di Tian glanced at Gu Yuena in surprise, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Why can't I say it? Is it because I'm afraid that the powerful person will sense it?

He found a suitable reason for Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena ignored Di Tian and gave Zhu Zhuqing a look.

Zhu Zhuqing was completely bewildered. She was curious about her master's wife's identity. The aura she had just exuded was so sharp and domineering!

She snapped out of her daze and quickly walked to Di Tian's side.

Di Tian knocked the two shadowy lynxes unconscious, placed them on the ground, and said, "These two shadowy lynxes both have a cultivation level of around three thousand years, their lifespans are similar, and they are both males..."

Zhu Zhuqing moved swiftly and cleanly, her fingernails extending like sharp claws as she slashed down two black lynxes in succession.

Two spirit rings, both purple, quickly appeared on the corpse of the spirit beast.

Gu Yuena approached and said, "Now do as your husband says, Zhuqing. Although I don't think his method will succeed, with your master's wife here, you won't be in danger."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and gave Gu Yuena a grateful look.

She then sat cross-legged between the two shadowy lynx corpses, and the phantom of a ghostly cat appeared behind her.

As she summoned her martial soul, two spirit rings approached her almost simultaneously.

They entered Zhu Zhuqing's body together. Actually, the first one that entered got stuck halfway, and then the second soul ring followed and merged with it.

Zhu Zhuqing adopted the method taught to her by Dan Heng, which is the gentlest approach to increasing the lifespan of her soul rings.

A few seconds later, two yellow spirit rings rose up beneath her.

After a brief pause, a deep purple spirit ring, resembling two overlapping spirit rings, rose up.

Di Tian stared in astonishment at the scene, muttering, "They actually... succeeded? Absorbing two spirit rings at the same time? I've never heard of such a thing!"

Gu Yuena squinted; she saw it clearly.

Her sensitivity to the elements of heaven and earth allowed her to perceive the entire process almost as clearly as Zhu Zhuqing.

A feat never before accomplished by anyone in the world was rapidly achieved through Zhu Zhuqing's tireless efforts.

The two spirit rings became increasingly solid and began to merge.

Gu Yuena couldn't help but feel worried for her.

A quarter of an hour later, with a "buzz...", Zhu Zhuqing's two purple soul rings completely merged into one.

The third spirit ring took shape, which meant that she had succeeded and obtained a spirit ring that was over six thousand years old!

At least according to records, such a feat has never occurred in the Douluo Continent!

The soul power boost it provided to Zhu Zhuqing was also considerable. Although it didn't directly reach level 32, it should be around 70-80% in terms of progress.

Zhu Zhuqing stood up, her movements seemingly more agile and nimble.

"Master's wife, I... I succeeded! The age limit of the third soul ring is six thousand years, and the soul skill is Netherworld Slash, but the effect is much stronger than recorded in the family records!" Zhu Zhuqing's voice trembled.

She now feels a sense of wonder, as if she's floating on clouds.

The guidance Danheng gave her was truly invaluable!

She couldn't help but burst into tears, because she saw the dawn of victory.

As long as I learn from Teacher Danheng, my future will definitely change!

Gu Yuena pursed her lips and chuckled softly.

Although she had underestimated her husband's abilities, the more outstanding he was, the happier she, as his wife, would be!

Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing is estimated to reach level 32 in a few days. The real instruction we need to give Zhu Zhuqing is to help her advance one level so that she can win the bet with her husband!

Then my husband will take me to the Star Luo Empire to begin the first step of my upward mobility plan!

Then everything will be perfect!

Di Tian's eyes flickered, and he sighed, finally admitting that in terms of wisdom, he was ultimately no match for a veteran powerhouse like Dan Heng!

The knowledge he inherited was far inferior to that of the other party.

No wonder the Lord was willing to humble himself to gain Danheng's help.

"Alright, Zhuqing, let's go back. I can't wait to see my husband!" Gu Yuena could say this openly in front of Zhu Zhuqing, but she couldn't do it in front of Dan Heng.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded vigorously; she also wanted to express her gratitude to Dan Heng as soon as possible!

Only then did she realize how wise her master's wife was; thankfully, she hadn't brought any equipment or food for the night.

……

The next morning.

Along the way, the carriage did not encounter any spirit beasts and arrived safely on the official road of the small town.

When we were about a mile from the city gate.

A figure suddenly appeared and blocked the carriage.

"Zhuqing, are you inside?"

Prince Zhu said in a deep voice.

The carriage stopped, and Gu Yuena and Zhu Zhuqing emerged from the carriage one after the other.

Upon seeing Prince Zhu, Gu Yuena frowned and asked, "Who is he?"

Zhu Zhuqing replied, "He is my father... Dad, why are you here?"

Zhu Zhuqing jumped off the carriage and looked at Prince Zhu with a puzzled expression.

Prince Zhu snorted coldly and said, "If I hadn't come, would I have let you waste your time here? Your time is precious. You should either cultivate diligently in Xingluo or find Dai Mubai to research the Martial Soul Fusion Technique."

"But what are you doing? Wasting your time here?!"

When facing his daughter, Prince Zhu didn't hold back on saying some harsh things.

He couldn't stand Dan Heng's unambitious appearance; he saw him as an academic soul master who was easily killed by someone of a higher level.

"No, my teacher taught me a lot, and it was here that I gained the confidence to beat my sister..."

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and retorted.

Prince Zhu nearly laughed in anger, coldly saying, "Studying under a Soul Emperor gives you so much confidence? Luckily he has a wife, otherwise your reputation would be ruined!"

Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes. This guy came on aggressively and didn't respect her husband at all.

She was clearly looking down on Dan Heng, and she was very unhappy!

How dare they humiliate the man she loves?!

"Come with me!" Prince Zhu flashed to Zhu Zhuqing's side and raised his hand to grab her wrist.

"No!!!"

Zhu Zhuqing, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, lost her usual composure and shouted, "No! I will never leave! I want to learn from Teacher Danheng! Only here can I be confident of defeating my sister!"

"nonsense."

Prince Zhu did not believe it.

"I've already broken through level 30!" Zhu Zhuqing said again.

"What?"

Prince Zhu was stunned. When Zhu Zhuqing left Xingluo, she was only level 27. How could she have broken through to level 30 now?

The next second, Zhu Zhuqing revealed three spirit rings, especially the third one, a thousand-year spirit ring.

Its deep purple color clearly indicates it's a thousand-year-old soul beast.

"I'm level 31 now! I've improved by four levels! And it's only been a month since I became your disciple! What teacher could be stronger than me now?" Zhu Zhuqing questioned.

She will not easily let go of the hope she has finally grasped.

Prince Zhu was stunned. Zhu Zhuqing was only twelve years old, and she had already broken through to become a Soul Venerable?
