Chapter 218

218. Chapter 218

"Sister Lingling, we…" Ning Rongrong's eyes reddened with grievance, her little mouth pursed so high it seemed she could hang a heavy soy sauce bottle on it.

Ye Lingling also wore a bitter expression, but what could she do? The two of them, the little supports, stood no chance of competing before this crowd of battle Soul Masters. Every time they could only be placed at the end, sometimes not even getting a sip of soup.

It was only because Yu Tianyun still had a bit of conscience, secretly giving the two a little extra, otherwise they'd starve daily.

"Rongrong, Tianyun shouldn't be playing favorites," Ye Lingling said, watching the intense battle situation, her dark brows slightly furrowed.

Though she comforted Ning Rongrong outwardly, inside she was also nervous.

Could that big pig's hoof still remember the two of them?

Probably it had already been immersed in that white expanse, lost itself, and forgotten them.

In fact, Yu Tianyun didn't deliberately favor others and neglect the two.

It was just that those few little cats' killer tricks were too powerful, leaving him willing but unable!

By chance, Yu Tianyun recalled that felines have tiny backward spines on their tongues.

So he wondered whether a person with a cat martial soul would also have such spines when the martial soul manifests. He let the big cat, the small cat, and even the cat girl Xiao Yue try it, and indeed, all three had them.

From then on, it became unstoppable.

Whenever it was the two little supports' turn, Yu Tianyun had no stock left.

Just like now, the obnoxious big cat keeps using its spines to flatter 'little Yu Tianyun', seeking more affection.

"This dead cat has even ruined Zhu Qing," Ning Rongrong said angrily, but could only stare blankly.

If she could win, she would have kicked the greedy big cat out.

At that moment, she suddenly caught sight of a familiar yet strange figure and instinctively walked over.

Instantaneously, her expression on her face was as if a seasoning bottle had been shattered—utterly spectacular.

"What's wrong?" Ye Lingling noticed something amiss and followed.

Following Ning Rongrong's line of sight, her expression instantly became equally dramatic.

The cool, shy her might say nothing, but the mischievous little witch was another story.

"Hehe~" Ning Rongrong wore a wicked grin, squeezed behind Zhu Zhu Yun, and with a crisp "Snap!" slapped the snow‑white big rear.

"Ahem~" Zhu Zhu Yun flinched, accidentally scratching the back of her throat.

Seeing the mischievous little witch, her mouth kept moving but her gaze turned hostile, as if saying, 'Little girl, itching, huh? No explanation? After I'm done, I'll make your rear blossom!' Ning Rongrong remained unafraid, meeting the big cat's fierce stare, then pinched hard, "Big milk cat, look over there—looks like your arch‑rival!"

Zhu Zhu Yun was slightly startled, but kept her mouth tightly shut, hyper‑vigilant, fearing her cat food would be snatched.

The little witch's many tricks forced her to stay on guard.

"Eh? She really is sister's arch‑rival, why is she here?" At that moment, the indecisive small cat let out a light "Eh".

The other women all stopped their tasks and looked over.

Seeing this, the most curious big cat felt as if countless cat claws were scratching inside, and though she knew it was Ning Rongrong's cat‑dropping diversion, she couldn't resist letting go of the teasing stick and followed everyone's gaze.

Instantaneously, her red lips parted slightly, and she was stunned.

She never expected to see her arch‑rival on her own turf.

Poor Xiao Wu wasn't noticed by the women until then.

Zhu Zhu Yun had always harbored a grudge over Tang San and Xiao Wu's conduct during the match! A wicked smile spread across her face as she crawled over.

Just as they shifted their attention to Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong gave a sly smile, beckoned Ye Lingling, and quietly rose in rank.

"Snap!" Zhu Zhu Yun mercilessly struck Xiao Wu's already reddened, swollen rear.

"Eek~" Xiao Wu let out a hum, forcibly awakened.

Groggily opening her eyes, the first thing she saw were two snow‑white balloons.

Xiao Wu blinked slightly; as her gaze rose, she saw a stunning yet detestable face.

Rivals meeting made their eyes bloodshot; not only was Zhu Zhu Yun still bitter about that match, Xiao Wu also harbored resentment—her rear had taken days to deflate after the last swelling! How could the never‑troubled little tyrant of the Star Dou Great Forest not be angry? "You…"

"Snap~" Xiao Wu barely uttered a word when a cat paw slapped her little face.

Just waking, still dazed, this was yet another massive assault that jolted her awake; she covered her face, curled in the corner trembling, too scared to speak.

Zhu Zhu Yun wore a naughty smile, slowly approached, "Little rabbit, aren't you being arrogant? Come on! Be arrogant!"

Yu Tianyun saw this, pulled out his busy mouth, and said, "Zhu Yun, just give a lesson, but don't break it."

"Hmph, tell me, when did you start flirting with that little rabbit?" Liu Erlong, with a snow‑peak cushion under his head, said sourly, tugging at his ear.

The other women also looked over, wanting an explanation.

"……" Yu Tianyun was at a loss; how to explain, he couldn't say he was driven by desire! Hard to put nicely.

His thoughts flickered, still no good idea; fine, honesty was the best policy! Not wanting to waste words, he directly formed eight golden light spheres.

The martial soul‑awakened, spiritually‑oriented big cat and the highest‑cultivated Liu Erlong were the two women with the strongest spiritual power among the group, and they quickly realized the golden spheres were made of spiritual power.

Spiritual power materialized?

Both were slightly shocked; how strong must spiritual power be to achieve materialization?

The other women couldn't understand, but sensed it was impressive, eyes sparkling, faces full of admiration; they knew men love that trick.

Sure enough, Yu Tianyun felt proud, eagerly implanted the light spheres into their foreheads, then returned to the fight. The spheres contained all of Yu Tianyun's recent memories, of course hiding the dialogue with the evil god and everything that happened after bringing Xiao Wu back.

Although the information wasn't extensive, it left the women stunned for several breaths.

Liu Erlong and Zhu Zhu Yun were the first to awaken; the others soon followed without much delay.

After waking, they didn't blame Yu Tianyun, because they were immersed in the memories he shared.

Yu Tianyun's recent experiences, especially today's memories, seemed unbelievably bizarre to them.

Even the newly risen Ning Rongrong halted, perched on his chest, blinking wide, and said, "Brother Tianyun, does that mean you're now invincible?"

She already knew Yu Tianyun had absorbed two obviously formidable soul bones, possessed a soul bone fusion technique, and even a million‑year Soul Ring no one had ever heard of.

All these incredible events happened to her well‑known fiancé; even she, usually carefree, experienced a mental freeze.

As a result, the outrageous events—Yu Tianyun easily chopping off Tang Hao's two limbs and Xiao Wu being a hundred‑thousand‑year Soul Beast—were both subconsciously ignored by her.

The other women's reactions were no better; they all looked like infatuated girls.

"Smack, smack…" After snapping out of it, Ning Rongrong fiercely planted several kisses on Yu Tianyun's face, coating him with saliva, then her beautiful eyes shimmered as she stared at him intently.

She now feels immensely grateful for Ning Fengzhi's original insistence on letting her marry Yu Tianyun.

Although her fiancé is somewhat fickle, he is strong enough and handsome enough to compensate for that flaw.

Women generally admire strength, and Ning Rongrong is no exception; her man's unwitting rise in power naturally thrills her.

"It's not quite invincible; there must be stronger beings on the continent," Yu Tianyun said modestly. Though he is proud of having already reached the pinnacle of the Soul Master World, he knows now is not the time to mess around.

The waters of this Douluo Star run deep, home to the Silver Dragon King who once wielded god‑king strength and countless deities watching; if he jumps too wildly, he could meet an early end.

"Even if not invincible, it's not far behind Sword Grandpa and the others," Ning Rongrong said, blinking her Kazilan‑like big eyes, seriously adding, "I've heard my father say since I was little that when Tang Hao first entered the Title Douluo, he could take on three opponents, grievously wounding the previous generation's Pope to death; being able to strip him of a right arm and a left leg is already remarkable."

Duguyan and the others also wore looks of agreement, but one person was an exception.

Liu Erlong looked at Yu Tianyun in her arms, a hint of fear and a hint of hope in her eyes, and subconsciously pressed him tighter against her chest.

Yu Tianyun once told her that when his strength becomes strong enough to silence everyone in the family, he will openly disclose their relationship.

Liu Erlong knows she cannot stop Yu Tianyun, and deep down also hopes that everyone will accept the taboo relationship between her and Yu Tianyun, but she truly does not know how to confront her own father.

Previously Yu Tianyun's strength wasn't enough, letting her not think too much, but now his strength is definitely sufficient.

Ning Rongrong's cultivation is low, and she isn't a battle Soul Master, so she can't discern much, but as a strong Soul Douluo she can clearly see that Tang Hao's strength far exceeds that of an average Title Douluo, and Yu Tianyun clearly didn't exert his full power when defeating Tang Hao; in her view, Yu Tianyun's true strength might even rival a Level‑99 Title Douluo.

Thinking of this, a hint of sorrow gradually crept onto her pretty face, even dampening her enthusiasm for what she was about to do.

"Alright, stop thinking about it, let's continue quickly!" Yu Tianyun raised an eyebrow, feeling cheerful; he was surprised that no one noticed him bringing Xiao Wu back, which truly surprised him.

"Uh…oh!" Ning Rongrong finally snapped out of a daze, questioning why she'd thought so much; there will be plenty of time to ponder later, and now that she's finally secured a position, she can't waste time.

As the saying goes, a spring night's moment is worth a thousand gold. Her time now is even more precious than gold; although she is the daughter of the richest family, she can't squander it, right? Thus the battle erupted immediately, and the others, seeing this, even if they wished to ask, felt it wasn't the time and joined the fight, Liu Erlong, despite her melancholy, doing the same.

She thought to herself, I'll worry about the future later; I'll enjoy myself first!

In the end, only the pitiful Xiao Wu was left staring longingly at the picturesque scene; she wanted to say something, but ultimately chose to stay silent, only cursing in her heart, "A bunch of shameless sluts!"

Then she turned her head, lying on her side with her back to the crowd; hearing the women's laughter, her heart itched like a hundred claws scratching, and her mind began to wander.

At one moment she felt hatred toward Yu Tianyun, the next disappointment toward Tang San, then guilt toward her mother, and then the pleasant moments of the past half‑day.

Huh? It seems something strange got mixed in.

Xiao Wu, realizing something was off, opened her eyes and looked behind her.

She didn't know what she was thinking; a ring of redness appeared on her face as she swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Then she rolled up a corner of the blanket to cover herself; although it was only a corner, the blanket was unusually large, wrapping her tightly.

She glanced at her long, white, tender fingers, then recalled the unsightly scene she had just witnessed; Xiao Wu's right hand slowly reached into the dark blanket…

Looking from top to bottom, one can clearly see that within the humanoid bulge of the blanket, a small part in the middle seems to be…

Clearly Xiao Wu also knows that no one has time to pay attention to her now, yet she nervously bites her lip, daring not to make any sound.

……

No one knows how long passed; anyway Xiao Wu felt that a long time had gone, her tense body finally relaxed slowly, but for some reason she felt a bit disappointed, seemingly unsatisfied.

The principle is simple: it's easy to go from frugality to luxury, hard to go from luxury to frugality! Having tasted fine bran, Xiao Wu would never be satisfied with coarse food. With no time to think much, she feels suffocated, quickly sticks her head out of the blanket, breathing large gulps of still fresh air.

Her small head was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her smooth black hair clumped together from the sweat, sticking to her forehead and temples.

Two abnormal blushes spread on her little face, her cherry‑like mouth opening and closing with each breath; her brown‑black eyes became watery and alluring, but deep within them lay a profound yearning.

Xiao Wu startled, like a frightened rabbit, quickly hid her hand in the blanket, pretended nothing had happened, then turned her head to look.

She saw Zhu Zhuyun had somehow arrived beside her, looking at her with a teasing expression.

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't, I'm not…" Xiao Wu stammered, her blush turning into angry embarrassment.

"Little rabbit, I haven't even asked what you're doing, why are you already explaining, are you feeling guilty?" Zhu Zhuyun lazily stretched his back, as if his bones were about to fall apart, but his face showed pure satisfaction.

"I… I…" Xiao Wu was at a loss for words, her face turning a purple‑red, completely unable to explain.

"No need to explain, sister is satisfied with you." (End of chapter)
