Douluo Continent: I, the world's greatest immortal master, have taken Ning Rongrong as my disci

Chapter 25 Never take off the teacher's mask, it will have terrible consequences.
Seeing Meng Yiran become Su Ran's apprentice, Snake Granny Chaotianxiang showed a gratified smile, but tears streamed down her face.

She and Long Gong were getting old. Not only were their physical abilities declining, but Meng Yiran's parents had also passed away early. Hunting soul beasts and engaging in soul master duels was a dangerous matter. She was afraid that when Meng Yiran's soul power level was higher and she reached her fifth or sixth soul ring, they would not be able to help her hunt ten-thousand-year soul beasts.

If something unexpected happens, leaving her all alone in this world, she would be utterly helpless and alone...

Now things are much better. The girl has a genius teacher, and two of her classmates are also exceptionally talented women. She has finally found her place in the world.

"Grandma, I'm asking to become your student, why are you crying? Isn't this a good thing?"

Meng Yiran put away the Peach Blossom Token. Seeing the Snake Granny's tears, she also felt sad.

The snake woman said while wiping away her tears:
"Grandma is crying tears of joy, she's so happy."

"If the old man knew that you had found a good teacher, he would be very happy."

"Alright, let's absorb the spirit ring first. This Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent is probably about to collapse."

If this crested snake could speak, it would surely hurl a torrent of curses:
Damn it, are you guys even human? Two groups of people coming to kill me is one thing, but...

They beat me half to death, and kept nagging me, arguing about who I belonged to, and even asked me to become their disciple right in front of me. Can't they just give me a quick death?
Doesn't a snake's life matter?
"Wait, Yiran, don't absorb this Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent."

Just as Meng Yiran put away the Peach Blossom Token and was about to finish off the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, Su Ran spoke calmly, calling out to Meng Yiran.

Meng Yiran had some doubts:
"Teacher, what's wrong?"

The old woman also had some doubts, and followed Meng Yiran's lead, asking, "Teacher Su, is there something wrong with this Phoenix-tailed Crested Snake? Could it be that Zhao Wuji and the others tampered with it?"

"It must be because this Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent is too young, so it's not suitable for Junior Sister to absorb."

Zhu Zhuqing was already familiar with the process and knew that Teacher Su Ran had very high requirements for the age of their soul rings, which they had to exceed.

"You know so much!"

Ning Rongrong had a long face; she felt bad whenever she saw Zhu Zhuqing.

Sister, I treat you like my best friend, but you treat me like a cuckold?

She stole a kiss from my teacher! Humph!

"Alright, Senior Sister Rongrong, don't be angry with me anymore. I didn't mean to."

"I don't believe it."

“Yiran, my name is Zhu Zhuqing. You can call me Zhuqing from now on. This is Senior Sister Rongrong. Although she is about the same age as me, she is the teacher’s first personal disciple and our ‘senior sister’.”

"Senior Sister Rongrong."

Meng Yiran called out to Ning Rongrong, but it always felt strange, even though she was older, she was being called 'junior sister'.

“Zhu Qing is right. This Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent is less than 1,500 years old. Although it is the third soul ring of the standard age, it is a bit too low for you to absorb this soul ring now that you are my disciple.”

Su Ran took out a small, dark green medicine bottle, walked up to the crested snake, and dripped the medicine from the bottle onto its wound.

In just a short while, the wound covered by the medicine healed rapidly, giving it life.

"It's truly a miraculous healing medicine."

"But, Ms. Su, are we just going to let this crested snake go like this?"

After regaining some mobility, the crested snake tensed up and looked at Su Ran with some confusion, seemingly not understanding why these humans, after shouting for its life, were now trying to save it.

It circled Su Ran once, then wriggled and crawled deeper into the forest.

Snake Granny Chaotianxiang was somewhat surprised by Su Ran's behavior.

Su Ran simply said, "Everything has a spirit. Since it's useless to us, there's no need to kill it."

Su Ran wasn't being soft-hearted; he simply knew that soul beasts were extremely difficult to grow, and indiscriminate killing would only lead to disastrous consequences, making it increasingly difficult for soul masters to find suitable soul rings in the future. Soul masters must acquire soul rings ethically.

"Elder Snake, don't worry. Since Yiran is now my student, I will naturally choose a suitable soul ring for her based on her physique."

"However, my current physical condition is still too poor, and it is not suitable for me to absorb the third spirit ring immediately. I want to wander around the Star Dou Great Forest and find a spirit beast that meets my expectations to bring back to the academy."

"After I give her special training and her physical fitness improves, then she can absorb a spirit ring."

Su Ran said calmly.

"Well, since I am still your student, I will follow your arrangements, Teacher Su."

When Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai fought before, Snake Granny could tell that the third spirit ring that Zhu Zhuqing absorbed was not simple, far exceeding the third spirit ring of ordinary spirit masters.

Now it seems that Su Ran is indeed very demanding. She thought that the Phoenix-tailed Crested Snake she had chosen for Yi Ran was already top-grade, but she didn't expect it to be completely unacceptable to him.

"Zhu Qing, Rong Rong, you've just absorbed your third spirit rings, and your cultivation levels aren't stable yet. You should go back to the hotel with Elder Snake and Yi Ran to stabilize your cultivation. I'll look for more spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Su Ran said to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

Ning Rongrong was somewhat worried about Su Ran:
"Teacher, you must be careful in the Star Dou Great Forest and not get hurt by the soul beasts, otherwise your disciple will be heartbroken."

"rest assured."

Su Ran smiled faintly, and with a swift movement, disappeared into the forest.

His technique for crossing the Yellow Springs is a level above Zhu Zhuqing's; he comes and goes without a trace.

"This Teacher Su is truly a remarkable person."

"But... Senior Sister Rongrong, Zhuqing, why is Teacher wearing a mask? Does Teacher not want us to see his face?"

On the way out of the Star Dou Great Forest, Meng Yiran still asked the question that had been on her mind the most.

The Snake Woman was also very curious about the answer to this question.

If you're going to a special place and don't want to show your face, wearing a mask is understandable. But why would you need to wear a mask when you're just out hunting for spirit rings?

"Don't ask! Don't look!"

"The teacher's face under the mask is terrifying. If you look at it, your heart will stop. He will shoot laser eyes and hit you with a 'biu' sound, and you're done for."

"So, you must never ask your teacher why he wears a mask, and you absolutely must never take off his mask, or the consequences will be severe!!!"

Ning Rongrong said this with an air of seriousness.

"Is it that serious?" Meng Yiran was indeed frightened.

"Ok!"

Ning Rongrong nodded abruptly.

They absolutely must not be allowed to see the teacher's face.

Otherwise, all my junior sisters would become my rivals in love.

(﹏)
"..."

"But, Senior Sister Rongrong, it seems the teacher's mask doesn't cover his eyes, does it? If he had laser eyes, wouldn't they just shoot out directly?"

"Huh? This...this...I haven't thought about it yet, you're not allowed to ask! You're not allowed to ask!"
