Douluo: Did you move Danta here?

Chapter 430 There is someone behind the scenes
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes immediately lit up. At first, she was a little stunned when she learned about the function of this skill. If they were both in the state of being 6 years old, wouldn't they have no advantage at all? Could it be that they could change the way they died in a desperate situation?

Hearing Ning Bei's explanation, he instantly understood the wonder of this life-or-death arena. You see, mainland soul masters don't really care about moves other than soul skills. If they were to return to their six-year-old state and lose the right to use all soul skills, they would be no different from ordinary people. But if he had mastered superb fighting skills, he could gain an absolute advantage in that environment.

"I understand, Brother Ningbei. I'll find an opportunity to learn fighting techniques when I get back."

"Hmm, are there any other abilities? A 100,000-year-old external soul bone shouldn't only have one soul skill."

"There's also a skill called 'Guardian of the Evil God,' which allows me to use the aura of the evil god to protect myself. Its defensive power should be extremely strong. I'll try it out when I get back."

Ning Bei nodded. This was in line with his understanding of a 100,000-year soul bone. In short, although there were some minor setbacks on this trip, it was still very worthwhile overall. After obtaining this soul ring, the kitten's combat power increased exponentially. Not only did it make up for her most lacking defensive power, but it also greatly enhanced the most important defense-breaking ability for agility-attack soul masters.

“Then let’s go. Your divinely bestowed spirit ring can be saved for use when you reach the Soul Douluo level. At that time, obtaining two 100,000-year spirit rings will not be a problem.”

"Thank you very much, Brother Ningbei."

After cleaning up the corpse of the Dark Demon God Tiger, Ning Bei waved her hand and removed the nearly 1,000-square-meter ice house, heading towards the edge of the forest.

The kitten followed Ning Bei half a step behind, walking closely towards the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. Along the way, she kept glancing at him out of the corner of her eye, and her cheeks would occasionally blush. Whenever Ning Bei felt her gaze and turned to meet her eyes, Zhu Zhuqing would quickly look away. Clearly, what happened in the ice house earlier had stirred up quite a ripple in her heart.

Ning Bei remained expressionless, indicating that she had no recollection of what had just happened.

Neither of them spoke, but they walked silently toward the edge of the forest. Occasionally, some soul beasts would emerge from the forest, but they were quickly intimidated by Ning Bei's aura and retreated.

Just as the two were about to reach the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, Ning Bei's eyes suddenly focused, glancing at a giant tree behind her, but strangely, there was nothing there.

"What's wrong, Brother Ningbei?"

Following Ning Bei's gaze, the kitten looked back, also unaware of anything amiss, and asked in confusion.

Ning Bei shook her head, but the wariness in her eyes did not disappear.

"Nothing, let's go."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't think much of it and nodded to continue following Ning Bei's steps. The little kitten, who had returned to the mainland after several years, had no intention of going back to the sect. All her close friends were on Seagod Island, and it wouldn't be too late to return together after completing the assessment.

Ning Bei also raised objections and took Zhu Zhuqing directly on the road back to Poseidon Island, but she would still glance back from time to time.

Although he couldn't identify the person, he was certain that someone was following them. However, Ning Bei didn't sense any malice from the other party, so she didn't directly call for them to appear, guessing that the person would show themselves when they wanted to.

After several days, Ning Bei and Zhu Zhuqing completed their round trip from the Star Dou Great Forest to Seagod Island. As they approached the vicinity of Seagod Island, Ning Bei sensed that the person behind him was no longer following. After thinking for a while, he figured that the other person might want to see him alone and planned to wait until they returned to the sect to discuss it.

For nearly a week, everyone has tried to challenge the guardians of the Holy Pillars. Now, even if they join forces, they can only defeat two Title Douluos in turn before exhausting their soul power. It is impossible to defeat everyone in three days. Even if the kitten returns, it may be easier for everyone, but it will still be very limited.

"Zhuqing, you're finally back! Let me tell you, that Sea Maiden Douluo is incredibly difficult to deal with. Her ability to create illusions is far superior to Xiaoyezi's. Last time we challenged her, she managed to hold us off for most of the day."

"Really? Then I'll go with you guys next time." Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were full of eagerness. Having just gained a great improvement, she was now particularly eager to experience battle.

"Huh, it seems you've acquired a pretty good soul skill, Zhu Qing. You're so confident?"

"It's really good."

Facing her friends, Zhu Zhuqing didn't hide anything and told them all about her 100,000-year soul ring and external soul bone, which made everyone envious and exclaim that the little kitten had incredible luck.

"Brother, did Zhu Qing give you something in return? I want an external soul bone too. Look, Zhu Qing already has two."

Ning Rongrong's puffed-up face made Ning Bei chuckle. Then, recalling the scene of hunting souls, she unconsciously touched her nose and said subconsciously:
"Benefits? They certainly gave a lot."

"what!"

Zhu Zhuqing, who had been eavesdropping, blushed instantly and gasped in surprise. Seeing everyone looking at her with suspicion, she quickly tried to remain calm, coughed twice, and said:

"No, it's nothing. Don't listen to Brother Ningbei's nonsense. I was just lucky."

The kitten's attempt to cover up its misunderstanding only fueled the girls' curiosity and ignited their gossip-loving spirits.

"Brother, is that really true? What are the benefits you mentioned?"

"The benefit is that my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has gained another valiant general. Isn't that enough?"

Amidst Zhu Zhuqing's flushed face and murderous gaze, Ning Bei readily changed the subject, saying something that made Ning Rongrong roll her eyes, inwardly exclaiming, "I don't believe you! You wicked old man!"

"Zhu Qing, tell me honestly what happened, or I'll give you a good tickling treatment."

Seeing the little rabbit and Rongrong grinning mischievously and reaching out their claws towards her, Zhu Zhuqing unconsciously took a step back. Then, she pretended to be calm and said that things were just as Brother Ningbei had said. Even if the two girls didn't believe her, the little cat looked like it wouldn't let go even if it was scratched to death.

Are you suggesting she reveal that she openly displayed her decades of cultivation achievements to Ning Bei in the Star Dou Great Forest? She'd rather be scratched to death!
Seeing that they couldn't get any useful information out of them, the two women had no choice but to give up for the time being. However, whether during conversation or meals, they would intentionally or unintentionally ask the two men about things in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Bei also tacitly united their forces, explaining everything from how to hunt the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to how to absorb the soul ring and obtain the soul bone, refusing to reveal anything else.

He arrived at Dugu Yan's boudoir that evening, thinking that his woman wouldn't be as interested in this matter as the two young maids, but he had to admit that he had underestimated the extent of a woman's gossip.

"Now that everyone's gone, tell me what exactly happened in the Star Dou Great Forest? Did you take Zhu Qing to see the luminous soul bone?"

Ning Bei raised an eyebrow. What was with this woman's completely indifferent expression, as if she didn't care about her cheating? Was she really that carefree?
