Douluo: Reincarnated to a Dragon Egg Hatched by the Silver Dragon King

"Alright, alright. I still have some secondary-grade pills here. I'll give them to you for now. When you reach level 30, I'll give you something better."

Ye Feng looked at Ning Rongrong, who was crying so hard that her face was a mess of tears and snot. He couldn't handle it anymore and quickly pulled out a pill from his pocket, handing it to her.

Although there were no high-quality Lexical Traits, there were plenty of ordinary ones.

One of them was a white Lexical Trait called [Agility], which slightly improved control over one's Soul Power. It was somewhat useful for Ning Rongrong.

"Really? That's great!"

Ning Rongrong's sobbing stopped abruptly. She snatched the pill from Ye Feng's hand and, with tears still on her lips, swallowed it in one gulp.

She had been eyeing Ye Feng's pills for a long time.

Especially after watching Zhu Zhuqing grow stronger, and now seeing her directly gain 7 levels thanks to the pill, saving nearly a year of hard cultivation. Ning Rongrong was utterly envious.

Now, she had finally gotten her wish…

However, as the pill settled in her stomach, Ning Rongrong did feel some changes in herself.

But these changes seemed… a bit too subtle.

In her opinion, even a secondary-grade pill should at least boost her Soul Power by a level or two.

Yet, this thing didn't increase her Soul Power at all. It only seemed to slightly enhance her mental energy.

"Is this what a secondary-grade pill is like… The effect is so weak… I'm starting to suspect there's something shady going on between you two…"

Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Feng with a hint of resentment.

"Rongrong, don't talk nonsense. Between me and Ye Feng…"

Zhu Zhuqing's face turned red as she tried to defend herself, but she didn't know what to say.

"Zhu Zhuqing's achievements are all the result of her own hard work. If you cultivate diligently and reach level 30, I can also give you a big reward." Ye Feng put on a serious expression, pretending to be stern.

"Hmph… I get it…"

Ning Rongrong pouted but didn't say anything more.

In the end, she could only watch as Ye Feng and Zhu Zhuqing left.

After the two had gone, Ning Rongrong muttered to herself, "So stingy…"

She now understood that Ye Feng only treated his own people well.

Zhu Zhuqing had already become one of Ye Feng's own, which was why she received so many benefits.

She even suspected that Zhu Zhuqing had already been involved with Ye Feng, which was why she chose to leave Shrek and come to the Star Sect to elope with him.

But…

Zhu Zhuqing's progress made her envious. She truly wanted to receive the same benefits from Ye Feng as Zhu Zhuqing did.

If she could become one of Ye Feng's own, she was sure she could gain just as much.

To be honest, she actually liked Ye Feng too.

He was handsome, powerful, and had a unique charm. From the moment she first saw him, she had taken a liking to him and even considered him as a potential son-in-law candidate.

However, things didn't go as planned. She never expected the Star Sect to be so strong. Forget recruiting Ye Feng as a son-in-law—she almost got herself tangled up in it…

After joining the Star Sect, she thought about getting closer to Ye Feng. Maybe something could happen, and if it developed into a romantic relationship, that wouldn't be bad either.

But she miscalculated again.

Who would have thought that Zhu Zhuqing, who seemed so honest and simple, would somehow manage to win Ye Feng over…

"Hmph, it's just that she's a bit bigger and has a better figure... Men are indeed all lustful creatures! I'm not bad either... I just haven't fully grown yet..."

Ning Rongrong muttered to herself, her mind wandering to who knows where.

...

...

Somewhere in the Sunset Forest.

The deep autumn forest was painted in golden-red hues by the sunlight, with palm-sized leaves rustling in the wind. The air was filled with the fresh scent of resin.

Several large squirrels leaped and chased each other through the trees.

In the next moment, two figures suddenly appeared in the forest, as if materializing out of thin air, startling the surrounding beasts into scattering. The two were none other than Ye Feng and Zhu Zhuqing.

Ye Feng remembered that Zhu Zhuqing's fourth Soul Ring was obtained in the Sunset Forest, granting her a "Clone" Soul Skill.

This Soul Skill, paired with the Lexical Trait "Lethal Combo," was a perfect match, so Ye Feng didn't want to miss this opportunity.

"Mmm... is... is it over?"

Zhu Zhuqing was still tightly clinging to Ye Feng, almost entirely hanging onto him, her eyes tightly shut, clearly very nervous.

After the last incident, Zhu Zhuqing had developed a psychological shadow, afraid that if she didn't hold on tightly enough, she might get hurt.

"It's over, you can come down now."

Ye Feng gently patted Zhu Zhuqing's bottom and said with a smile.

"Oh, okay..."

Zhu Zhuqing snapped out of it, her face red as she slid down from Ye Feng.

The latest novel is first published on 69shu.com!

Immediately, she reached back to cover her bottom, making sure her clothes weren't torn before finally letting out a deep sigh of relief.

"Huh? Where is this?"

Only now did Zhu Zhuqing realize that they seemed to have arrived in a vast forest.

The towering trees around them gave off a strong sense of oppression.

Compared to the vibrant greenery of the Star Dou Great Forest, this place felt slightly more desolate.

"This is the Sunset Forest, the second-largest gathering place for Soul Beasts after the Star Dou Great Forest. I know there's a Soul Beast here that would be perfect for your fourth Soul Ring."

Ye Feng explained.

If he remembered correctly, Zhu Zhuqing's Clone ability came from a Soul Beast called the "Ghost Tiger," and the Ghost Tiger's location should be near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Although the valley surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was protected by Dugu Bo's Poisonous Miasma Formation, preventing Soul Beasts from entering, the Heaven and Earth Essence around the well was exceptionally rich, attracting a large number of high-level Soul Beasts.

The Ghost Tiger was known for its terrifying speed and attack power, making it one of the most formidable Soul Beasts. Its habitat was definitely nearby. With good luck, they could find it quickly; even if luck wasn't on their side, it would just take a bit more time.

"Alright, I'll follow your lead!"

Zhu Zhuqing gently took Ye Feng's hand and then slightly tightened her grip.

Clearly, she had complete trust in Ye Feng, truly seeing him as the man she could rely on.

The two walked together.

Zhu Zhuqing walked ahead, even summoning her Martial Soul to be on guard against any sudden attacks.

Ye Feng followed behind her, calm and composed, but his gaze was firmly fixed on the cat ears and tail that appeared when Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul was partially activated.

He hadn't noticed it last time, but now Ye Feng realized that turning Zhu Zhuqing into a cat girl seemed even more appealing...

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's figure seemed even more perfect, making him want to...

Instinctively, Ye Feng reached out and grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's tail, giving it a gentle stroke.

"Ah—"

Zhu Zhuqing let out a startled cry, leaping three meters into the air, clearly frightened.

"Ye Feng... you... you... what are you doing..."

Zhu Zhuqing quickly realized what had happened, her beautiful face flushing red in an instant.

A cat's tail is very sensitive—how could Ye Feng just touch it like that!

Zhu Zhuqing had originally intended to walk ahead to help ease Ye Feng's stress, but she never expected that not only would he fail to appreciate her effort, but he would also secretly tease her.

He's really the worst...
