Several months ago, Ye Qiu had already taught the self-created soul technique he had figured out to the two girls.
Upon hearing Ye Qiu's inquiry, Ning Rongrong hadn't spoken yet.
However, Xiao Lan, who was still energetically battling with the pastries in her plate, promptly responded.
"Ah~ We learned it a long time ago! And Rongrong sister is even more proficient in using it than Brother!"
"More powerful than me?" Ye Qiu curiously embraced Ning Rongrong's slender waist. "Let me see!"
"Sure! Watch this."
Ning Rongrong happily nodded.
She opened her hand, and a fist-sized soul power slowly appeared in her palm.
"Watch carefully~"
In Ye Qiu's astonished gaze, the fist-sized 'soul ball' unexpectedly divided into three, turning into three 'soul eggs' the size of walnuts.
Then, it kept rotating, faster and faster, compressing while spinning until it became the size of a marble.
Ning Rongrong waved her jade hand, and the three 'spiral bullets' shot out in three different directions.
Boom! ×3
Three explosions sounded one after another.
On the marble floor in the corner of the courtyard in the distance, there was a small pit about six or seven centimeters deep, the size of a palm.
In the pond on the other side of the pavilion, the middle section of the several centimeters thick artificial mountain stone wall was pierced through.
In the middle of the flower bed, a tree hugged by one person had half of its main trunk hollowed out.
"Haha! How about that? Am I amazing?" Ning Rongrong nodded in satisfaction and then circled her arms around Ye Qiu's neck.
Tilting her head slightly, she seemed like a child seeking praise.
"Yep! Very impressive." Ye Qiu retracted his surprised gaze and pinched her cheek.
"Do you want to learn? I can teach you!"
Holding Ye Qiu's face, Ning Rongrong leaned towards him, her azure eyes filled with affection, becoming more and more fond of him as she looked.
"Teach me? Can you really? Isn't the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart a secret of the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda Sect?"
"Huh? Ye Qiu, you actually know about the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart!"
"Yeah! I've heard of it." Ye Qiu nodded. When Ning Rongrong divided the 'soul ball' into three, he had already recalled this matter.
The Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart is a method that allows one to focus on multiple tasks simultaneously, enabling the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda Pagoda to release multiple soul skills at once while assisting multiple teammates.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda Sect's method of Heart Separation Control has seven levels, namely:
Two Aperture Division , Three Aperture Governing Heart,
Four Aperture Constant Heart, Five Aperture Dispersed Heart,
Six Aperture Wishful Heart, Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart.
As for One Aperture, it's better left unsaid.
"Brother! It's fine. Rongrong sister has already taught me!" At this point, Xiao Lan also extended her hand, revealing a fist-sized 'soul ball,' which then split into four under Ye Qiu's surprised gaze.
"Look! Xiao Lan is even more amazing than Rongrong sister! Hehe."
"..." Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, giving Ning Rongrong a strange look.
Ning Rongrong also felt a bit embarrassed, lowering her head slightly.
It was embarrassing that the things she had been cultivating for so long were actually caught up and surpassed by Xiao Lan, a newcomer.
"I will work hard in my cultivation from now on!"
"Hehe, you don't need to worry too much! Xiao Lan's personality makes it possible for her to progress quickly in this cultivation. It's understandable since she is relatively simple-minded and focused," Ye Qiu comforted her at the right time. Considering that Xiao Lan had not been here for long, her progress was faster than Ning Rongrong's.
However, it was rare that Ning Rongrong had the intention to work hard in her cultivation, and Ye Qiu was happy about it.
"But you should indeed put in more effort into your cultivation. Xiao Lan's cultivation level has surpassed yours by quite a bit!"
In the past half year, Ye Qiu and Xiao Lan had not gained much in their cultivation, having just recently broken through to level 29. Every time Ye Qiu cultivated, he could feel the seed in his heart taking a share, but after swallowing things, it didn't seem to grow, only sprouting a new bud.
As for Ning Rongrong, she was currently only at level 24.
"Yeah, Rongrong sister, you should work harder!" Xiao Lan also patted her small belly, expressing satisfaction.
Ning Rongrong gave her a glance. She really didn't know how Xiao Lan cultivated. Clearly, she indulged in eating, drinking, and having fun every day, yet her cultivation level was higher than her own.
Ignoring the proud Xiao Lan, Ning Rongrong swayed her body playfully and started to speak sweetly, completely forgetting that she was still sitting on Ye Qiu's lap.
"Alright~ I know! I'll work hard, and I'll also assist you well in the future!"
"You don't move around!"
Ye Qiu frowned, holding her waist, making her stop the squirming of her body.
"Hehe~"
Seeing Ye Qiu's helpless expression, Ning Rongrong laughed happily.
"Well, do you want to learn the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart?"
"Learn! Of course, I want to learn! But does Sect Master Ning know about this?" Ye Qiu naturally wanted to learn, especially since he also had a Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, which would surely come in handy.
"Don't worry about it. I've already told Dad! As long as you don't spread it, it's fine!"
After saying that, Ning Rongrong stood up, lifted Ye Qiu's arm, and was about to pull him towards the training ground.
"Uh, Rongrong!" Before standing up, Ye Qiu stopped her.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"In the future, don't casually teach this kind of thing to others! Especially a guy named Tang San."
Suddenly, Ye Qiu remembered that Tang San would also obtain the method of cultivating the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart from Ning Rongrong with the help of the Grandmaster. It was better to give her a precautionary reminder.
"What are you talking about! You're not just anyone. Besides, who is this guy Tang San you're talking about? Why would I teach him?"
Ning Rongrong looked at Ye Qiu strangely, but in her heart, she silently noted down this name. Hmph, this guy must be Ye Qiu's enemy!
"Hehe. I'm just reminding you! Don't let yourself be fooled~" Ye Qiu held her jade hand and pinched it.
"Hehe. I'm just giving you a heads up! Just to prevent you from being deceived~" Ye Qiu held her delicate hand and pinched it.
"Hmph! I'm not really blaming you. Since you came to see me, why would I be unhappy! But you have to compensate me."
Ning Rongrong's face blushed slightly, and she gazed into Ye Qiu's eyes, feeling a sense of satisfaction. Her charm was indeed effective.
"Compensate? How do I compensate? Well!"
"Just like this!"
Before Ye Qiu could finish his words, his mouth was sealed, tasting a hint of sweetness, and the fragrance lingered on his lips.
His hands gradually tightened, holding Ning Rongrong tightly against him.
Ning Rongrong, with a shy expression in her eyes, locked gazes with Ye Qiu, feeling a sense of triumph in her heart. Her charm was indeed not bad.
"Ah! Rongrong sister, you're sneaking a kiss again!" Xiao Lan anxiously tried to pull Ning Rongrong away.
...
As the sun gradually set, Ye Qiu's figure walked into the courtyard from the main gate.
"Ye Qiu, you're back!"
"Brother!"
The two dining figures immediately noticed him.
Xiao Lan rushed over at lightning speed, jumping into Ye Qiu's arms. Her arms hung around his neck, and her legs were placed on his waist.
"Haha. Xiao Lan finally got ahead!"
"Hehe." Ye Qiu held her slender waist, laughing helplessly.
Almost every time Ye Qiu came to see Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi would invite him for a meal, and they would chat about various things. Sometimes, even Xue Qinghe would be present if it wasn't too late.
If it weren't for the late hour, he might be kept there for quite a while.
Ning Rongrong stood on the side, glaring at Xiao Lan with resentment.
"Alright, don't be angry!" Ye Qiu approached and held her soft jade hand, interlocking their fingers.
"I'm not angry at all! I intentionally let her have it!" Ning Rongrong pouted. "By the way, have you eaten enough? Do you want more?"
"No need, it's getting late, and I should be leaving soon!"
"Hmph! Why not stay for a few more days?" Ning Rongrong unhappily tugged at Ye Qiu's arm.
"Hehe. Senior Dugu asked me to take care of Miss Dugu. I can't just leave her alone, right?"
"Hmph! That annoying woman." Although they hadn't met much, Ning Rongrong was starting to dislike Miss Dugu Yan.
"Ah~ Brother, why are you leaving so soon? you haven't hugged Xiao Lan enough!" Xiao Lan also clung to Ye Qiu, reluctant to let go.
Thinking about Dugu Yan's words, Ye Qiu also asked Xiao Lan tentatively.
"How about you come back with me for a while? Miss Dugu also misses you a lot!"
"." Seeing Xiao Lan about to agree, Ning Rongrong objected. Such a greedy girl!
"How can that be! That woman already has you accompanying her, why does Xiao Lan need to go? I'm also bored alone!"
Seeing Xiao Lan still hesitating, Ning Rongrong used enticement.
"Xiao Lan, Sister Rongrong still has many delicious foods you haven't tried here!"
Finally, unable to resist the temptation, Xiao Lan still didn't agree to leave with Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu didn't force her on this matter.
"Well then, you stay here obediently! Contact me if you need anything."
Ye Qiu smiled wryly, knowing he would probably be nagged by Dugu Yan when he returned.
Putting Xiao Lan down, he took the pastries prepared by Ning Rongrong.
"Oh right, Rongrong, is there a method in the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda School to hide the color of hidden soul rings?"
As he was about to leave, Ye Qiu suddenly remembered the immortal herb, the Beautiful Silk Tulip in his Divine Might Space.
If Ning Rongrong used it now, she could probably break through to level 30. However, with him around, her third soul ring would definitely not be just a thousand-year soul ring.
Some discretion was necessary. If someone found out about their abnormal soul ring combinations in the future, it could lead to trouble.
"A method to hide the color of hidden soul rings? Why do you need that?" Ning Rongrong looked at him curiously.
"This is currently a secret!" Ye Qiu tucked a strand of hair falling on her cheek behind her ear.
"But I promise! When you find it, I'll give you a gift! A gift you'll surely like!"
"Hmph! Why so mysterious?" Ning Rongrong pouted.
"Ah! Brother, Xiao Lan also wants a gift!"
"Yours has already been eaten by yourself!"
Ye Qiu glared at her without mercy. He had tried feeding her some top-grade herbs, but it was mostly futile.
All of them were swallowed by that mysterious Life Seed!
"Ah~?"
Watching the disappointed Xiao Lan, Ning Rongrong covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely pay attention!" Ye Qiu assured her.
"Well then, you can go now." Ning Rongrong's eyes flashed with cunning as she urged Ye Qiu.
"Goodbye, brother. Say hello to Sister Yan Yan for me!"
"Hmm?" Although he found Ning Rongrong's sudden change in attitude strange, Ye Qiu didn't think too much about it.
"Well, goodbye then!"
With that, Ye Qiu activated his Martial Soul, and a Divine Whirlpool appeared, disappearing in front of the two girls.
"Hehe. Xiao Lan, you did well. I'll take you to enjoy a feast in Heaven Dou City tomorrow!"
"Sister Rongrong, are you okay? Xiao Lan didn't do anything, right?"
Looking at her strangely, Xiao Lan wondered why she had taught her makeup earlier, and now she wanted to take her out for a meal tomorrow?
"What's wrong? Is Sister in a good mood today?"
Ning Rongrong happily rubbed Xiao Lan's tender face. She needed to firmly grasp Xiao Lan's favor, giving her an advantage when facing others.
"Hehe, I, Ning Rongrong, am not someone easy to deal with!"
...
When Ye Qiu appeared again, he was already in the small forest where he met Ye Lingling in the morning.
Looking around, he didn't see Dugu Yan's figure.
His ears twitched, and he heard some commotion not far from the training ground.
"Still training?"
Ye Qiu leaped from tree to tree in the forest and quickly reached the edge of the training ground, where he could see the central stage.
On the stage, Dugu Yan was sparring with Yu Tian Heng.
Purple poison mist enveloped the stage, making it difficult for Yu Tian Heng to approach. He could only evade constantly, and defeat seemed inevitable.
"Are you still training?"
Ye Qiu, sitting on a tree branch, observed the battle on the stage.
At the same time, someone noticed him.
It was the leader of the Imperial Team, Qin Ming, who waved at Ye Qiu.
"Little brother Ye Qiu, why stand so high? Come over and sit! We're almost done here!"
Qin Ming appeared to be around thirty, with an ordinary appearance, simple black hair, and modest clothing. Bright black eyes occasionally revealed a hint of depth.
He had recently become a Soul Emperor, the first graduate of Shrek Academy, and the second youngest Soul Emperor on the continent, according to the records of the Spirit Hall.
Unfortunately, despite his talent, his fifth soul ring was purple, making it challenging for him to become a Douluo in this lifetime.
"Teacher Qin, what are you doing here? Won't it disturb you?" Ye Qiu jumped down from the tree and walked over.
"Hehe. It's almost over, no big deal! Find a place to sit."
"Oh! Ye Qiu is here to pick up our sister Yan Yan again?" The livelier Yu Feng couldn't hold back.
After greeting Ye Qiu, the others nodded friendly towards him. After witnessing Ye Qiu's strength against Yu Tian Heng, they had a somewhat favorable impression of him.
"Ah, Brother Ye Qiu, coming to pick up Sister Yan Yan again?" Yu Feng couldn't help but tease. This guy really doesn't take Miss Yan Yan seriously, daring to bring her here.
"Uh?" Ye Qiu looked at her strangely, not understanding her meaning.
