Douluo: Did you move Danta here?

Chapter 528 Strange Black Bead
What she found even more unbelievable was that after Zhu Zhuqing followed the direction Wangwang pointed and rummaged around for a while, she actually managed to make a wooden box that wasn't too big.

"No, brother-in-law, what's with this sudden transformation? And your nose is even more sensitive than a dog's?"

Ning Bei and the kitten exchanged a smile, but didn't offer any further explanation, simply mentioning the effect of the martial soul.

The kitten crouched down and opened the wooden box. A rotten smell immediately filled her nostrils, but she ignored it and began to rummage through the items inside.

It's not a treasure, just a keepsake. There are toys her mother made for her when she was little, and gifts she received on her birthday, such as dolls and longevity locks.

Normally, such items wouldn't attract Ning Bei's attention, but a bead lying quietly in the corner of the wooden box successfully caught his eye. However, since there were other people around, she didn't bother to directly remind him.

After taking stock, Zhu Zhuqing found that none of the things she cared about were missing. She smiled, closed the lid of the wooden box again, and put it into her soul tool. Then she stood up and looked at her older sister.

“I came back to see you and to take these things away.”

"There's nothing left in the Zhu family for me to cherish, and I probably won't be coming back in the future. If you miss me, you can come to Qibao City to find me."

A hint of reluctance flashed in Zhu Zhushui's eyes, but she did not try to persuade him to stay.

"It's better to leave. There's no warmth here anyway. With your brother-in-law around, you probably won't be bullied. Just live a good life."

With a smile and a nod, the kitten then turned its gaze back to Ningbei.

"Let's go, let's go to the Kingdom of Nili to see Zhu Zhuyun and then we'll go back."

"it is good."

The three of them walked out of the storage room together, where Zhu Xianye had been waiting for a long time with a complicated expression.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't even bother to glance at him, simply brushing past him and heading towards the Zhu family gate. This scene shocked the Zhu family patriarch, who sighed after a long while before finally speaking:

"Zhuqing, I know you definitely won't stay."

"Forgive me, and live a good life in Tiandou from now on."

Seemingly surprised that her father, who always put profit first, would say such a thing, Zhu Zhuqing stopped in her tracks and stood there stunned for a long time before turning back to look at her nominal father.

"I understand. Don't have any improper thoughts. That way, the Zhu family will definitely not be purged. It's good to just keep things as they are."

Zhu Xianye nodded with a look of satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Ning Bei, who was standing next to his daughter.

"I understand."

"My lord, I hope you will take good care of my daughter."

Ning Bei smiled and waved his hand. He didn't need to remind her of this at all. As for this brief moment of tenderness, he scoffed at it as well. He was just playing the emotional card to make sure his daughter didn't forget the Zhu family, since he knew there was no hope of keeping Zhu Zhuqing. That way, she could ask for his help in the future. However, Ning Bei had no intention of exposing her. In fact, Zhu Zhuqing probably knew it all too well. If the Zhu family had any difficulties in the future, it wouldn't hurt to lend a hand for the sake of the kitten.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of Zhuqing."

After saying this, the three of them left without lingering. When they arrived at the gate of the Zhu residence, the two sisters sighed, wondering when they would meet again.

"Second sister, if you feel wronged, come to Qibao City to find me. You don't need to suffer other people's opinions in the Zhu family."

"Alright, if things really get too tough, I won't force myself to stay. Going to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to seek refuge with my brother-in-law wouldn't be a bad idea. Besides, I'm not made of clay that anyone can trample on." Hearing her sister mention going to Seven Treasure City to seek refuge with her again, Zhu Zhushui's eyes were full of smiles. Although she didn't have such thoughts, it was still a viable option.

Waving goodbye and boarding the carriage bound for the Kingdom of Nili, Zhu Zhuqing bid a brief but fulfilling farewell to her former life. From now on, she would follow her husband and have little to do with the Zhu family.

The atmosphere was somewhat somber along the way, which surprised Zhu Zhuqing. She had already prepared her response if Ning Bei tried to comfort her, but she kept it to herself. She guessed that Ning Bei must have something on her mind, but she didn't ask. This was just Zhu Zhuqing's personality.

This atmosphere continued as the carriage drove out of Lingmao City. When the city gate was out of sight, Ning Bei suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder.

"Let's go."

"it is good."

With a surge of soul power, the two figures instantly disappeared from the carriage. Ning Bei traveled hundreds of kilometers at a terrifying speed, bringing the kitten to a huge abandoned canyon. This place was deserted, with steep cliffs all around, and only some vegetation growing there to add a little bit of life.

After looking around, the kitten turned to look at its man with a puzzled expression.

"Brother Ningbei, is there anything special about this place?"

"No, the strange thing is in your wooden box."

"what?"

Zhu Zhuqing stared wide-eyed, completely unable to think of anything that Ning Bei would care about regarding those insignificant little items. However, she didn't ask any further questions. Driven by curiosity, she quickly took out the wooden box containing her mother's belongings and opened the lid.

What could possibly concern you so much?

Ning Bei didn't answer. He squatted down and took out the pitch-black bead. He only had a vague guess in his mind because this bead was very similar to the evil god bead left behind by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger before its death, except that it did not have such a strong evil aura.

Rather than comparing it to the Evil God Bead, Ning Bei is more inclined to think that this black bead is similar to the Heart of the Ice God, even though their colors are completely different.

Looking at the black bead in Ning Bei's palm, Zhu Zhuqing's face flashed with surprise. After thinking for a moment, she began to introduce the origin of the bead.

"It seems to be a birthday gift from my father to my mother, which my mother later kept for me as a toy."

"It is said that my father also studied this bead for a long time, but apart from being able to devour the soul power that is actively released, it seems to have no other use."

Ning Bei nodded. He had already poured soul power into the black bead as soon as he held it in his hand, and the situation was just as Zhu Zhuqing had described. This bead could indeed absorb soul power.

The man's behavior clearly indicated that the bead was unusual, and it also made the kitten re-examine this childhood toy.

Is there anything special about this bead?

“You’re right. This bead can indeed absorb soul power, and it’s not that it’s completely useless after absorbing soul power. The reason there’s no reaction is simply because you didn’t inject enough soul power.”

"Oh? What happens when the injected soul power reaches a certain amount?"

The kitten's curiosity had been fully aroused, and it stared intently at the black bead, eager to find out what it was all about.

"This bead may very well conceal a deity."
