Chapter 94 Bai Lu: How did you even make her belly swell up? And now you want me to fix it?!
"Huh? What does that even have to do with anything?"
After listening, Bai Lu was completely dumbfounded.
"Little Kitty, what exactly goes on in your head all day?"
He suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I was planning to take advantage of the night to drill a 'hole' in the soul tool, so it'll be easier to act later!"
"In this era, soul tools are basically ancient relics. There aren't even many proper soul engineers left. If I want to drill holes, I have to study it first, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing froze. "Really?"
Could it be that she had really misunderstood Bai Lu?
"Of course it's true!"
Bai Lu laid out his plan:
"Tonight, I'll help you drill holes in the soul tool, and you help her refine her body using whale rubber."
"Tomorrow, you two can coordinate and get familiar with it. The day after, we can take action."
"Isn't that good?"
As for the Beautiful Silk Tulip, that still needed further observation.
Zhu Zhuqing asked sharply, "Tonight you want me to help her refine her body with whale rubber?"
"What else?"
"As expected, you still want to peek at us bathing."
"Six!"
Bai Lu said helplessly, "Do you think everyone is like you, naturally gifted enough to treat whale rubber like food and drink it as water?"
"Just feed her less; isn't that enough?"
If normal people could really consume it in large amounts, why didn't the major families in Douluo II produce geniuses with thousand-year first soul rings?
"At worst, I'll just put myself in solitary confinement, alright?"
"Mmm! That works!"
Zhu Zhuqing happily agreed to Ning Rongrong's request.
"You can sleep together, but only for one night!"
"Mm-hmm, one night is fine!"
Ning Rongrong thought to herself, Once there's a first time, there'll be a second.
As long as she perseveres, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle.
Zhu Zhuqing would definitely be moved by her efforts!
——
A cluster of blazing flames lit up the night.
"Rongrong, time to take your medicine!"
Zhu Zhuqing extinguished the fire and handed over the softened whale rubber.
"What is this?"
Smelling the strange fragrance, Ning Rongrong subconsciously swallowed.
"It can improve your physique and raise the limit of your future soul rings."
Zhu Zhuqing tore off a piece and said, "Eat it, then meditate and refine it properly."
"Okay!"
Ning Rongrong opened her mouth and swallowed it, then began meditating to refine it.
Her body grew hot, her face flushed red, but it was still within a tolerable range.
"How is it?"
"My physique really got stronger!"
Ning Rongrong looked amazed.
The effect of this thing was far better than her miserable running at Shrek!
"Then have a bit more?"
"Okay!"
One piece, two pieces… hundred-year, thousand-year…
Before long, Ning Rongrong's belly had been made to swell by Zhu Zhuqing feeding her whale rubber.
"Zhuqing… I… my body feels so hot…"
Her eyes were unfocused, her face flushed as she hugged the girl, continuously rubbing against her.
"It's fine; I'll take you to wash up."
Zhu Zhuqing had expected this. Expressionless, she tossed Ning Rongrong into a cold bathtub to help her cool down and clean up.
"Zhuqing… I'm still hot…"
The heat in Ning Rongrong's eyes only intensified.
"..."
Zhu Zhuqing cried out inwardly, "Bai Lu, you tricked me again!"
"How did I trick you?"
Bai Lu was stunned.
He was in seclusion, and this still became his fault?
"Didn't you say eating less whale rubber would be fine?"
"Well yeah, at most there'd be a slight reaction."
"She's been soaking for a long time and is still burning up."
"How much did you feed her?"
"Just three pieces each of hundred-year and thousand-year."
The girl reported precisely.
"Oh~ then you deserve it!"
Bai Lu suddenly understood. "I told you to feed her less. You made her belly swell up, and now you blame me?"
"Do you think she also has a Vajra Palm soul bone?"
"This…"
Zhu Zhuqing felt a bit embarrassed. She might have been too eager for quick results.
She glanced at Ning Rongrong, who was clinging to her like an octopus, and asked,
"Th-then… what should I do now?"
"Obviously, you handle it yourself. What, you want me to step in?"
Bai Lu countered, "I don't mind helping, but are you willing?"
"No need! I can do it! I'll handle it myself!"
The food-protecting little kitty refused decisively.
She silently raised her dark golden left hand, then looked at Ning Rongrong beside her.
"My apologies!"
"Wuwuwu~ I can't face anyone anymore!"
The next morning, Ning Rongrong buried her head under the blanket, sobbing.
"Everything has a first time. Don't be shy; I won't tell anyone."
Zhu Zhuqing imitated Bai Lu's tone to comfort her.
"I don't care; you made my bread thicker."
Ning Rongrong shouted in embarrassment, "Zhuqing, you have to take responsibility!"
"..."
Zhu Zhuqing's gaze shifted away unnaturally.
She admitted that, helping someone for the first time, she lacked experience and her technique had flaws.
"How do you want me to take responsibility?"
"Come to my house as a guest! My bed is super big and super comfortable!"
Ning Rongrong revealed her true intention as she poked her head out from under the blanket.
"Not going!"
Zhu Zhuqing's face darkened, her guilt instantly disappearing.
"Oh~ you two young ladies are really playing wild, huh!"
Bai Lu's teasing voice suddenly sounded. "What is this, trying to start a monogamous relationship?"
"???"
Zhu Zhuqing froze and looked down at Ning Rongrong.
Honestly, she really did give off the feeling of a delicate little wife.
Something about this situation felt off.
"Whether it's off or not, that's for you to figure out."
Bai Lu yawned and stretched lazily:
"The hole in the soul tool is done. Test it yourselves. If there's a problem, come find me."
"I'm sleepy. Going to sleep. Call me when it's time to act."
With that, he leaned against the throne and fell asleep.
Seeing Bai Lu's exhausted state, a strong sense of guilt and remorse welled up in the girl's heart.
Bai Lu had worked so hard for her.
And she…
No! She would definitely make it up to him later.
The girl silently made up her mind.
"Get some good rest."
After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing returned to reality.
She tossed a set of clothes to Ning Rongrong, her expression turning cold again:
"Get up. Cultivate!"
"Oh! Okay!"
Reading the situation, Ning Rongrong immediately got up obediently.
Watching this, the sleeping Bai Lu unknowingly curled his lips into a faint, triumphant smile.
"Use your soul skill on me."
Zhu Zhuqing stretched her body and nodded toward Ning Rongrong.
"Okay!"
Ning Rongrong spun lightly, light glowing in her hand:
"The Seven Treasures Turned Colored Glaze!"
"The Seven Treasures have names: first, strength; second, speed!"
Two rays of light fell onto Zhu Zhuqing. She immediately felt her body lighten and her strength surge.
She instructed, "Keep maintaining the soul skill. Don't stop even after entering the soul tool."
"Oh—ah?"
With a flash of white light, the confused Ning Rongrong was stored in the bracelet.
Invisible threads of soul power passed through the hole Bai Lu created, transmitting from the soul tool space into reality.
"The soul skill amplification is still active!"
Zhu Zhuqing was invigorated:
"With the boost from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, even relying on myself, I'm confident I can defeat Dugu Bo!"
"White Tiger Vajra Transformation, White Tiger Killing God Transformation!"
With a thought, she activated her Phantom Flash soul skill.
After a few flashes, she left the city and plunged straight into the Sunset Forest.
While familiarizing herself with her strength, she also scouted the terrain.
Everything was in preparation for the upcoming operation.
