490. Spoiling the Sister

Zhu Zhuqing’s words left Tang San momentarily stunned.

“No wonder… No wonder…”

Tang San’s eyes were filled with awe and excitement as he sincerely exclaimed,
“Xiao Wu, your luck is incredible! You actually encountered a celestial herb!”

Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San’s conversation left everyone else puzzled. Dai Mubai, with a hint of desire in his eyes, asked curiously,
“Tang San, what’s a celestial herb?”

“It’s a legendary treasure of the highest grade! Not only can it enhance cultivation, but it also improves innate talent, strengthens the foundation, and revitalizes the body. It holds the power to defy nature itself!” Tang San explained, his excitement evident.

Such things were mythical, even in his previous life. He never expected to find one in the Star Dou Forest!

“Hiss—”

Everyone drew in sharp breaths.

Enhancing innate talent?!
Just that alone was enough to make anyone desperate for it—it was simply priceless.

Oscar and the others looked at Xiao Wu with envy. Her luck was beyond belief.

“Ah~ Why wasn’t it me that the Titan Giant Ape captured?” Ma Hongjun lamented, clutching his head in regret.

“Because all you have is fat, no waist. Just looking at you feels greasy,” Ning Rongrong jabbed mercilessly.

“This is called being well-rounded! Muscular, got it?” Ma Hongjun retorted, slightly hopping in frustration.

Oscar, with a fawning smile, teased,
“Haha… Fatty, stop grossing people out. Rongrong’s right!”

“Exactly.” Dai Mubai crossed his arms and added,
“Besides, if your cultivation suddenly skyrocketed, you might burn yourself out.”

“Unless you release your Evil Fire on a soul beast,” Dai Mubai quipped, as if dousing Ma Hongjun with a bucket of cold water.

“Forget it, I’m better off without it,” Ma Hongjun finally gave in, muttering in resignation.

Using his Evil Fire on a soul beast? He wasn’t that desperate… Though unbeknownst to him, a certain titled Douluo had already set a precedent and was quite content with it.

Dai Mubai glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who remained calm as ever. His ambitious thoughts made him turn to Tang San and ask,
“Tang San, do you know where we can find more of these celestial herbs?”

“Boss Dai, such things are extremely rare and depend entirely on luck,” Tang San said with a helpless smile. Of course, he wanted to find more celestial herbs for himself too.

Zhu Zhuqing’s lips curved slightly—it was pure wishful thinking.

“Alright, since everyone’s fine now, let’s get out of the forest as soon as possible to avoid further accidents,” Zhao Wuji said, stretching his limbs and preparing to lead the way.

Soon, Zhao Wuji and the group continued their journey toward the edge of the Star Dou Forest.

Meanwhile, on the branches behind them, three figures quietly appeared—Qian Renxue, her brother Qian Renjue, and Ling Yuan Douluo.

“Jue, where are we heading next?” Qian Renxue asked.

“We’ll wait for Zhuqing and her group to settle down, then go pay them a visit,” Qian Renzue replied, holding both girls’ hands with a smile.

“Sounds good.” Qian Renxue nodded, then glanced sideways at him, teasing,
“By the way, hasn’t your little fiancée officially met me, her future sister-in-law, yet?”

Qian Renjue gave a slight nod.
“Seems not~ In that case, let’s introduce you to Rongrong tonight.”

“Heh~ Let’s hope she doesn’t put on airs in front of her sister-in-law,” Qian Renxue chuckled softly. She wasn’t the type to pamper her future sisters-in-law.

If anyone needed spoiling, it should be them pampering her!


————

By sunset, Zhao Wuji finally led Tang San and the others back to the inn where they were staying. After issuing orders to rest for two days, he went upstairs alone.

Exhausted from the journey, Ma Hongjun and the others had no appetite. After securing their rooms, they immediately went to lie down and sleep.

However, Xiao Wu and the two other girls remained full of energy.

Inside their room, Ning Rongrong sat at the table, her eyes gleaming with anticipation as she looked at Zhu Zhuqing. Zhu Zhuqing, holding the necklace close to her chest, loosened her grip and raised her head.

“Well, Zhuqing? When will Brother Holy Son arrive?” Ning Rongrong asked eagerly, eyes unblinking.

Zhu Zhuqing smiled faintly, but before she could answer, Xiao Wu jumped in.
“He said he’s coming right away!”

“That’s great! Wait, what?” Ning Rongrong cheered but soon noticed something unusual.

“Xiao Wu?”

“I can also talk to Brother Holy Son, hehe!” Xiao Wu grinned mischievously, proudly holding the collar around her neck.

As soon as she finished speaking, the space behind Ning Rongrong began to distort. The soul bone skill of Qian Renjue had already been used today—this was the power of the Dao Transmission Jade Slip.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing stared intently at the distortion behind Ning Rongrong. Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong glanced around nervously, feeling sour seeing the other two girls’ smug expressions.

Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing stood up with a cup of hot tea in hand, drawing Ning Rongrong’s attention. Just then, Ning Rongrong felt a familiar aura, her body stiffening instantly.

“Brother Holy Son!” Xiao Wu called out crisply.

A flash of purple-black light enveloped the room, and Zhu Zhuqing smiled as she respectfully approached, offering the tea gently,
“Teacher, have some tea~”

“Mm.”

Hearing the long-awaited voice, Ning Rongrong finally reacted.
“Brother Holy Son!” she exclaimed excitedly, spinning around and leaping toward the figure.

Thud!

A muffled sound echoed as she collided into his arms.

Qian Renjue looked at the delicate figure clinging to him, unable to hold back a chuckle.

“Brother Holy Son, you finally came to see Rongrong! I missed you so much!” Ning Rongrong said, gazing up at him with watery, pleading eyes. Her slender arms wrapped tightly around him as though she wanted to merge him into herself.

“But didn’t you say you didn’t want me to visit?” Qian Renjue teased, pinching her slightly dirty cheeks.

“N-No! I never said that!” Ning Rongrong stammered, a bit flustered, but resolutely denied it.
Inwardly, however, she was grinding her teeth—she had repeatedly emphasized her wishes, but her father still didn’t understand! Truly unreliable!

“Haha,” Qian Renjue laughed softly, fully understanding his fiancée.
“You’re thinking of getting back at Uncle Ning for this, aren’t you?”

Caught off guard by his remark, Ning Rongrong’s face flushed. She twisted slightly, pouting as she sweetly denied it,
“Of course not. Rongrong’s such a good girl~”

Zhu Zhuqing, holding her tea, watched the scene with a slight pout, her lips pressed together in silent envy and disappointment. However, that feeling soon vanished—she was confident in herself. Not only did she have a stunning figure, but her identity was also unique. She could offer Qian Renjue an extraordinary experience, especially if she took control…

Xiao Wu, meanwhile, stared eagerly but refrained from acting impulsively, mindful of her status.

“All right.”
Qian Renjue gently patted Ning Rongrong’s soft hair. He knew her well—her obedience was relative, only reserved for him. With a gentle tone, he explained,
“Actually, it was Uncle Ning who told me to come visit you. He just passed along your exact words as well.”

“Besides, since my mom has come out of seclusion, I was already planning to see you.”
