Chapter 39: The truth

I walked back into the forest and she followed me. By the way what is this girl's name? From the first meeting, none of us introduced ourselves.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"...You can call me Rongrong."

Hm… she's trying to hide her name, is there anything special about it?

But if you're trying to hide your real name then so am I.

"Then… Rongrong, nice to meet you. My name is Xiao Kai."

I extended my hand to her as a greeting.

"Yeah, me too, nice to meet you, Xiao Kai."

Rongrong returned my handshake.

Hm… I have to admit her hands are very delicate, even though I held them for a brief moment but I could tell.

"Well then, follow me, don't let you get separated from me."

I instructed her and walked properly.

We continued walking through the forest in search of the Tricolor Peacock for two hours. But until now we still haven't found it.

Suddenly a rumbling sound of something sounded in my ear.

*Growl….*

"N-no, my stomach didn't make any noise and you didn't hear anything either!!"

She looks so blushing, why are you so shy? Is a growling stomach for women embarrassing?

I will record it in my mind.

"Fine, fine. I didn't hear anything, now I'm hungry. Let's eat first."

I pretended and made excuses so I could eat. But why now does she look angry?

"Muu...…."

She puffed out her cheeks and honestly it looked cute.

"You wait here, I'll start a fire."

" Oh no!! I have to go… uh, you know, nature calls."

" Oh? You need to pee?"

" Muu, don't say that!!! And also don't peek!!!"

"Fine, I'm also not interested in your little child's body anyway."

" I'm growing up!!! Just look at the future!!! I will surely grow to be hot until you beg me!!!"

"Only, if you are in danger, just scream! I will help you."

" I know!!!"

She left some strange words before leaving. Now her figure had disappeared among the bushes.

What? You say I have to peek? Is there a problem with your brain?

She's just a kid, no wait… Don't tell me you guys are Pedophiles!!!

Let's forget about that, I'm pretty hungry right now too after the battle with the Devil Horned Rhino.

The food menu is grilled fish that I caught. When do I catch it?

That's this morning, don't tell me this fish is not fresh. I keep the fish inside the spatial ring.

Within that spatial ring had no concept of time, therefore the fish was still quite fresh when it was taken out.

With that said, I built a fire and prepared the fish with some spices.

.....

The camera shifts to Rongrong, her real name is Ning Rongrong.

A princess from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda clan.

At this time, far away from Yang Kai. Ning Rongrong called someone over.

"Grandpa sword!! Grandpa sword!! You can appear now."

"What's wrong, Rongrong? Weren't you the one who previously asked me to only watch over you?"

Someone suddenly appeared without knowing when it came.

He was a man who looked to be in his 30s. Although the actual age there is about 90 years. Her hair is white and her skin looks smooth.

He was Chen Xin, called Grandpa Sword by Ning Rongrong.

But the world knew his name as Sword Douluo, a level 96 Title Douluo.

"It doesn't matter anymore, Grandpa Sword. Is it true that Xiao Kai is a Spirit Elder?"

Chen Xin seemed to hesitate for a moment before answering in a trembling voice.

"I've checked his cultivation base many times, and it's true. He's indeed a level 33 Spirit Elder.

The Spirit Ring is real too, it's not an illusion or anything."

"No way… even after Grandpa Sword checked it and it was true. But how? He should be the same age as me…"

Ning Rongrong also said with a trembling voice, she still found it hard to believe the truth.

"I also don't know, even the most genius person is also impossible to achieve the same. Even the current Supreme Pontiff Spirit Hall doesn't have the same achievement.

He must have a secret of his own, and also from what he said earlier. He must have been training here for some time."

Silence, no answer. Both of them still found it hard to believe the fact that Yang Kai or the one Ning Rongrong knew as Xiao Kai was a Spirit Elder.

After a moment of silence, Ning Rongrong looked up and met Sword Douluo, Chen Xin's eyes.

"What does Grandpa sword mean by saying 'even I've almost died here a few times'?"

"That's right, I see that he has experience and knows the area around here. That means he has lived here for quite a while.

I also saw traces of battle, to be honest he is more reckless than you Rongrong, he dared to enter this forest alone and train here."

"... so, in other words he's far, far superior to me…"

Ning Rongrong said in a gloomy, sad, and disappointed tone.

"Rongrong, don't compare yourself and him. He is a true monster. I'm sure that in the future he will shake the world."

Chen Xin advised Ning Rongrong, but Ning Rongrong's temperament was that of pride and pride.

She was born in a large clan, possessed high talent, and always received praise from everyone.

"I know, Grandpa Sword. He is a true gifted genius…"

"No, it's not like that Rongrong. Even the most gifted genius in the world wouldn't be able to reach Spirit Elder in just a few months after spirit awakening."

"What does Grandpa Sword mean?"

Ning Rongrong asked hopefully

"What I mean is, he's not human. Maybe his form is human but his inside is something else."

"Does Grandpa Sword mean, Xiao Kai is a Spirit Beast who turned into a human?"

Ning Rongrong still asked in confusion.

" No, it's not that Rongrong. It's hard to explain but he is a 100% real human.

What your Grandpa Sword is referring to is his talent that surpasses that of humans. His talent is impossible for humans to achieve, that's why I call him a monster."

Chen Xin was still explaining patiently. To Chen Xin, Ning Rongrong was her own granddaughter even though they weren't related by blood.

"Is that so…. Grandpa Sword's words are true. Humans can't possibly have that kind of talent."

"It's good that you understand."

The real meaning of Chen Xin's words was so that Ning Rongrong would not compare herself to a monster like Yang Kai. And give her encouragement.

"Then Grandpa Sword, can I ask you a favor? It's almost evening, can Grandpa Sword bring me the Tricolor Peacock."

Ning Rongrong quickly recovered and returned to her original self.

"Sure, if that's my dear Rongrong's request."

"Very well, please put the Tricolor Peacock somewhere nearby so I can find it myself."

" Okay."

Chen Xin fulfilled all of Ning Rongrong's requests with ease.

"Then see you later Grandpa Sword. I have to get back soon or Xiao Kai will get suspicious."

With that Ning Rongrong left Chen Xin.

*Sigh…*

Chen Xin only sighed at Ning Rongrong's behavior. He looked up at the sky and thought.

"Never would I have thought there would be such a monster. After seeing him once I knew right away that he wasn't as simple as he seemed.

Maybe his spirit power level is 33, but I'm sure his Original strength far surpasses that. Perhaps in less than ten years this world will shake violently."

After that Chen Xin disappeared without a trace.

...…

Meanwhile Yang Kai did not know about Ning Rongrong's conversation with Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

The camera shifts to our main character and still from his point of view.

......

I've finished preparing everything and all that remains is to burn it.

But… Rongrong just took a long time to pee. Hmm… suspicious.

I wanted to come check it out, afraid something might happen. But if I came at the wrong time, I would be called a pervert by her.

And that can't happen, whatever the reason.

After waiting for a while, Rongrong finally came back.

"You took quite a while, did something happen?"

" S-noisy!! I'm not having any trouble! On the other hand you… you're not peeking at me, are you?"

"Heh! With your small body? Wait another 10 years then I can consider it."

I snorted disdainfully at Rongrong's body. She's still small, but she's pretty cute.

But!!! I'm sure, I'm not one of those people who like small children.

"I told you I'm still growing!!!"

"Pfft-ahahahaha...."

Somehow, this feels funny and fun.

" Why are you laughing?"

" Well…. No, it's just that Rongrong just looked cute.

"C-cute you say….."

Rongrong's face turned bright red and she covered her own face.

I don't know why when I say cute she blushes. Wouldn't she normally be angry?

I don't know, women are creatures that are difficult to understand.

"Come on, help me burn this fish. This will be our food."

" Okay."
