Chapter 674: Two Matriarchs?

After the first kiss, the relationship naturally could no longer remain a simple, ambiguous bond between siblings.

Under Qin Jian's conscious control, his relationship with Poseixi moved forward slowly and steadily.

Every day, Poseixi would cook for him, groom him, and massage him, while he was responsible for holding her, kissing her, and teasing her.

The development of an intimate relationship is an instinct among humans; no matter how much he held back, Qin Jian reached Level 96 after more than half a year, his strength having improved significantly—at least he wouldn't have to run away if he encountered the Deep Sea Demon Whale King again.

During this period, Sea God Island remained as peaceful as ever, with nothing special occurring.

Only the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Xiaobai, had been somewhat hesitant lately; she did not know if she should take the risk.

With the secret help of Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, plus the Vast Sea Universe Cover, it was indeed not difficult to sneak into the territory of the Evil Demon Orca tribe.

But she was not sure if she could successfully kill the Evil Demon Orca King with Ning Rongrong's support.

This point was critical.

If she could not kill the opponent in time, then the Demon Soul Great White Sharks used to distract the Evil Demon Orcas would fall into danger.

This was a decision concerning the survival of her race, and she found it very hard to make up her mind.

"Xiaobai, with the Vast Sea Universe Cover, plus the help from me and Xiao Wu, the probability of success can reach at least eighty percent..."

By the beach, Ning Rongrong grabbed Xiaobai's hand and said sincerely: "The Evil Demon Orcas are not only a tumor among the Sea Soul Beasts, but also the sworn enemies of your Demon Soul Great White Shark clan. If they can be eradicated, it will be a great thing for the ocean, and even more beneficial for you."

"I understand everything you say..."

Xiaobai paced slowly on the beach, her expression unusually grave: "But since it concerns the survival of the clan, this decision is truly hard to make."

"It is precisely because it concerns the clan that you should make the decision..."

Xiao Wu grabbed her other hand: "I am also a Soul Beast, and I know how restless one feels with a sworn enemy nearby. If they can be removed, not only will the clan live more easily, but it will also be beneficial for their expansion and prosperity."

"I understand all of this," Xiaobai's brow was filled with helplessness: "But without a safety net, I dare not go all out."

"A safety net?"

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes coquettishly: "When it comes down to it, you still don't trust the two of us, you still want Brother Jian to come and help, right?"

Xiaobai's eyes brightened quietly: "Will he, the Master, take action?"

Xiao Wu waved her hand and said heroically: "Don't worry, we have already talked to Brother about it; once there is a need, he will rush over to support immediately."

"Rush over to support immediately?"

Xiaobai was overjoyed: "Do you have a unique way of contacting each other?"

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu looked at each other and smiled.

"Look, Brother Jian and I have the Ocean's Tear. As long as I make it flash in a long-short-long frequency three times, Brother Jian will know I need help." A blue light began to flicker on Ning Rongrong's forehead.

"Then I can rest easy!"

The worry on Xiaobai's face was swept away, replaced by high spirits.

She waved her small hand: "Then let's go and finish off the Evil Demon Orca King!"

As a result, no one paid her any mind; looking back, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu behind her were both looking at her with cold expressions.

"Eh? Why are you looking at me like that?" Xiaobai scratched her head.

Ning Rongrong crossed her arms: "I understand now, you were just waiting for these words, waiting for Brother Jian to provide a safety net, weren't you?"

"Hmph, when it comes down to it, you just don't trust us!" Xiao Wu turned her back on her.

"No, no, the two Matriarchs are overthinking it!"

Xiaobai decisively admitted defeat: "I was worried about you all; if anyone got hurt, wouldn't the Master be heartbroken to death?"

Although her strength was greater than Ning Rongrong's and Xiao Wu's, their status meant she couldn't help but be submissive—these were the two Matriarchs!

"Who are you calling Matriarch? Two Matriarchs?"

Ning Rongrong's eyes narrowed: "Where did these two Matriarchs come from??"

"Uh..."

Xiaobai glanced at her, then at Xiao Wu, not knowing how to speak for a moment.

"Xiaobai, your Matriarch will always only be me, do you understand?" Ning Rongrong said indifferently.

"Oh..." Xiaobai said blankly.

"Only you?"

Xiao Wu turned her head, her cold and pretty face meeting Ning Rongrong's: "Then what about me? Rongrong, where do you place me?"

Ning Rongrong smiled slightly: "Aren't you Brother Jian's little sister?"

Little sister? To hell with your little sister!

Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips in a rage: "Who said I'm a little sister! I am Brother's wife!"

"There can only be one wife for Brother Jian..."

Ning Rongrong smoothed her long hair in a leisurely manner: "That person can only be me. Xiao Wu, you should just be a little sister, or perhaps a bonus concubine would also work!"

"Ning Rongrong!"

Xiao Wu bared her fangs and brandished her claws: "Come over here and fight me one-on-one!"

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes: "You want me, a Support-type Soul Master, to fight you one-on-one?"

Xiao Wu choked.

"Hmph, you who still haven't had that kind of relationship with Brother, where do you get the confidence to say you are the only Matriarch!" She found another point of attack.

This time it was Ning Rongrong's turn to be choked.

"Sigh, our poor Matriarch can only watch others be happy with Brother Jian even now!" Xiao Wu said more and more excessively.

Ning Rongrong slowly clenched her fists.

Xiaobai quietly retreated, skillfully pulling out a coconut and a few pieces of dried fish, and quietly squatted down beside a tree trunk.

Such a good show was very rare, not even appearing a few times a month, so she cherished it especially.

"Wahhh!"

Sure enough, Ning Rongrong roared and tackled Xiao Wu to the ground.

Afterwards, the two beautiful girls rolled around on the beach, pulling each other's hair, twisting and turning in an inextricable mess...

Xiaobai felt her mood brighten up...

"You went to the Sea Sacred Pillar this morning? To see Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu?"

On the veranda under the eaves of the wooden house, Qin Jian leaned against Poseixi's chest, his head resting on something soft and bouncy, while Poseixi was massaging his head.

Over half a year had passed, and their massage positions had evolved from lying on her lap to lying on her chest.

Soft, supple fingers pressed against his temples and rubbed gently; Qin Jian closed his eyes slightly, enjoying it very much.

"Mm, Rongrong summoned me through the Ocean's Tear, so I went over," he said.

"The summons of the Ocean's Tear," Poseixi paused, suppressing a strange feeling in her heart, and asked, "Did they encounter difficulties?"

"It doesn't exactly count as a hardship..."

Qin Jian shook his head and said, "It's just that their Fourth Trial is a bit difficult, and it involves Xiaobai's clan. They were worried it might lead to bad consequences, so they asked me to be their safety net."

"What is the Assessment?" Poseixi asked curiously.

"To slay the Evil Demon Orca King and wipe out all the Evil Demon Orcas that survive by devouring their own kind, leaving only those that do not possess the ability to cultivate through Devour..." Qin Jian said.

Poseixi frowned slightly: "This difficulty is not low. Relying on their own strength, they surely couldn't accomplish it, so they found Xiaobai for help?"

Qin Jian nodded: "It is because Xiaobai and that Evil Demon Orca King are sworn enemies. However, they were worried about accidents, so they notified me..."

Poseixi nodded in agreement: "They did the right thing. After all, this is a war between clans; if something goes wrong, it might implicate the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan."
