Chapter 193

Because of the cultivation of Bai Zhou and Ling Luochen, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi increased several times over, automatically nourishing Ma Xiaotao's body.

This also made Ma Xiaotao's absorption of the soul ring much smoother, and her speed increased slightly as well.

Four hours later, the black soul ring in front of Ma Xiaotao completely disappeared.

"I... succeeded..."

Ma Xiaotao opened her eyes slightly, her figure trembling a little; although she had successfully absorbed it, her physical strength was almost completely exhausted, and she collapsed directly.

"Sister Xiao Tao, are you alright!"

Bai Zhou flashed to Ma Xiaotao's side and steadily caught her in his arms.

His and Ling Luochen's cultivation had ended long ago, and the two of them had been eating barbecue while waiting for Ma Xiaotao to finish, with Bai Zhou keeping an eye on this side at all times.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao appeared to have succeeded, and Bai Zhou finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Little White, I succeeded, am I very impressive~" Although Ma Xiaotao was weak, she still revealed a look of pride toward Bai Zhou.

This was a seventy-thousand-year soul ring; in the outside world, the vast majority of Soul Kings could not absorb such a powerful soul ring.

Even for a Level 70 Soul Saint from Shrek, absorbing a seventy-thousand-year soul ring would require half a year of recuperation.

Yet she had only exhausted her physical strength, which was naturally something to be proud of!

"Haha, my Sister Xiao Tao is the most impressive~" Bai Zhou laughed heartily, and in full agreement, he gave Ma Xiaotao's cheek a loud smack, then carried her toward the small cabin he had condensed.

The ability of the Wishing Tree was to create things out of thin air.

When he was weak before, Bai Zhou could only condense some small trinkets, but now, condensing a luxuriously decorated temporary cabin on a whim was easy.

Entering the cabin, the aroma of roasted meat rushed toward them.

"Hee hee, Little White, come and eat, taste my handiwork~" Ling Luochen beckoned to Bai Zhou.

Although they had a cabin, they had lost the fun of camping.

But Bai Zhou always liked to be hands-on, so Ling Luochen still felt it was better to have a little cover.

She didn't want to be on the grass with Bai Zhou... that would be too strange...

"Can this even be eaten?"

Ma Xiaotao supported herself as she walked over to Bai Zhou, and looking at the charred, unrecognizable chunks of meat on the grill, the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely.

She knew Ling Luochen's cooking skills better than anyone; she had eaten a meal cooked by Ling Luochen a few months ago, and that taste... she didn't dare to recall it...

"Hmph, what's wrong with it!" Ling Luochen was a bit unconvinced, and on her own, she picked up a skewer and took a bite...

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey... what's going on, the flesh of this soul beast is so disgusting, next time I'll change to a different one..."

Ling Luochen hurriedly spat out the charred meat in her mouth, muttering to herself, and then silently threw all the roasted meat into the trash can nearby.

"Alright, alright, let me do it."

Seeing this, Bai Zhou was also speechless, then he waved his hand gently, directly using the Wishing Tree to condense a large amount of delicious food.

Fried chicken, hamburgers, chocolate, Sprite, milk tea, and large beers.

There were also snacks like melon seeds, potato chips, and spicy strips.

They were piled directly into a small mountain.

"Wow, so much delicious food!"

Although Ling Luochen had never eaten these things, just smelling the aroma they emitted made her swallow her saliva uncontrollably.

Although Ma Xiaotao had eaten quite a bit while following Bai Zhou, there were many new items she hadn't tasted, and she was clearly a bit greedy as well.

Gluttony is the nature of all living things.

Women are even more fond of eating and have a higher 'foodie' attribute, especially when it comes to the temptation of snacks, which they can be said to have zero resistance against.

The three of them sat directly on the ground and began to feast.

"What's the point of just eating? Let's play a game." Bai Zhou pretended to have a flash of inspiration and proposed a good idea.

"Okay, what shall we play?"

Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen both had their mouths stuffed full, and they looked up at Bai Zhou.

"Hmm, let's play Douluo Cards."

Bai Zhou took out a deck of Douluo Cards and said with a smile.

Douluo Cards were a unique card game in this world, similar to the 'Three Kingdoms Kill' from his previous life; it could be played by two or more people, and the rules were relatively simple, making it one of the most common card games.

When Bai Zhou took out the Douluo Cards, he and Ling Luochen exchanged a glance.

"Okay~"

Ma Xiaotao naturally didn't notice the conspiracy between Ling Luochen and Bai Zhou, and she agreed immediately.

"Hehe, playing cards naturally has a penalty; the loser takes off a piece of clothing, let's see who finishes first, how about that~"

Bai Zhou chuckled.

"Ah, you villain, how can there be such a penalty! And this is clearly to your advantage!" Ma Xiaotao exclaimed, glaring at Bai Zhou angrily.

"Xiao Tao, you aren't scared, are you?" Ling Luochen smiled slyly, her eyes filled with provocation and disdain. "Hmph! Who's scared? Bring it on!"

Ma Xiaotao was immediately unconvinced, snatched the deck from Bai Zhou's hand, and began to shuffle and deal.

A few minutes later.

The round ended, and Ma Xiaotao was clearly the first to be out.

"Hmph, again!"

Ma Xiaotao took off her shoes, clearly a bit unconvinced.

A few minutes later.

Ma Xiaotao was again the first to be out.

"Again!"

Ma Xiaotao took off her socks.

"Again!"

Ma Xiaotao threw off her coat.

"Again!"

Ma Xiaotao was getting desperate and took off her shorts.

Of course, Ling Luochen and Bai Zhou also had to act.

Ling Luochen lost two rounds and took off her socks and shoes.

Bai Zhou lost one round and very straightforwardly took off his pants.

Ling Luochen:...

Ma Xiaotao:...

"Woooo... you two teamed up to bully me..."

When Ma Xiaotao only had her last piece of clothing left, she finally realized that she had been tricked by these two, Bai Zhou and Ling Luochen, working together!

"Hehehe, only realizing it now? It's too late, a bet is a bet~"

Ling Luochen pounced directly toward Ma Xiaotao and quickly pulled off Ma Xiaotao's...

Not only that, because Ma Xiaotao's physical strength hadn't recovered, she was completely no match for Ling Luochen at this moment and was pinned to the carpet by Ling Luochen and bullied.

"Ling Luochen, what are you doing? It's not like you don't have one, don't... ah..."

Ma Xiaotao exclaimed repeatedly as she became entangled with Ling Luochen.

"Little White, save me..."

Ma Xiaotao turned her head and looked at Bai Zhou with a pitiful expression, the request for help being very obvious.

"Ahem, Sister Xiao Tao, I'm sorry."

Bai Zhou coughed dryly, then walked forward...

"Woooo, Little White, I hate you..."

Ma Xiaotao was instantly on the verge of tears; this bastard Bai Zhou was too bad, actually colluding with Ling Luochen to bully her...

Under Bai Zhou's guidance, the three of them simultaneously circulated the 'Cloud Rain Technique', and the concentration of the surrounding Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi increased rapidly.

The superposition of the three people's cultivation methods caused the concentration of the surrounding Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to reach a brand-new height.

The cultivation speed of the three increased by nearly a hundredfold! Perhaps it was because they felt the huge increase in cultivation speed.

'Surprised' sounds kept coming from the room.

First it was Ling Luochen, then it was Ma Xiaotao.

Then it was Ling Luochen again, and then Ma Xiaotao again.

Repeating like this,
