"Ao Tian, I'm hungry," Xiao Wu said, patting her flat stomach and looking at Ao Tian pitifully.
Ao Tian had anticipated this, so he'd bought extra portions at breakfast and took them out.
Tang San and Oscar were prepared as well.
After lunch and a rest, Zhao Wuji finally returned.
They continued their journey in the afternoon, with Gu Yue Na still carrying Ning Rongrong, who was responsible for boosting Ao Tian and the others. Tang San was still stuck eating sausages along the way, as unfortunate as ever.
Later on, Tang San found that he wasn't as disgusted by Oscar's big sausages anymore. He thought they actually tasted pretty good, as long as he didn't think about Oscar's lecherous soul incantation and expression while eating them. It wasn't so hard to accept.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were still undergoing mysterious changes. Whenever they were about to give up, a surge of energy would appear within them, restoring their Soul Power and stamina.
Zhu Zhuqing was still curious. During their midday break when she and Xiao Wu went to relieve themselves, she asked about it, but Xiao Wu firmly insisted that she didn't know.
Zhu Zhuqing repeatedly recalled the first time this happened, remembering Xiao Wu winking and smiling at her. Thinking about how Xiao Wu could help her improve her cultivation talent and possessed such a magical thing as a cultivation technique, she became increasingly certain that the automatic recovery of her Soul Power was definitely related to Xiao Wu.
Although she was curious, there was nothing she could do if Xiao Wu didn't want to tell her. She respected Xiao Wu's decision.
Xiao Wu had helped her so much; she was very touched. If Xiao Wu weren't a girl, she would have wanted to offer herself in return.
Thinking about this, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but glance at Ao Tian and Gu Yue Na. She guessed that, given their relationship with Xiao Wu, they should know the truth.
"Perhaps I haven't known Sister Xiao Wu long enough, and she doesn't trust me yet, or maybe there are other reasons," Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself.
As night gradually fell, a small town appeared on the horizon.
Xiao Wu and Gu Yue Na were already very familiar with this town because Ao Tian would sometimes spend the night here when he accompanied them back to the Star Dou Great Forest.
This small town was the closest human settlement to the Star Dou Great Forest, located less than a hundred kilometers away.
The group continued their journey on foot. Zhao Wuji glanced at everyone, his gaze finally settling on Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.
During the course of the day, both Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had experienced the miraculous phenomenon of their Soul Power automatically recovering multiple times. Zhao Wuji was incredibly curious, but unfortunately, he knew he wouldn't be able to get anything out of them.
Seeing that it was already dark, Zhao Wuji ordered them to rest for the night in the town and replenish their supplies.
They didn't know how many days they would spend in the Star Dou Great Forest, so they needed to be well-prepared.
Ordinary Soul Masters wouldn't dare to spend the night inside the Star Dou Great Forest, but Zhao Wuji possessed the strength of a Soul Saint. As long as they didn't venture too deep into the forest, ensuring the safety of the seven young people wouldn't be a problem.
The group's pace slowed. Tang San finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had eaten sausages all day, averaging one every hour, and he was about to throw up.
He now reeked of sausages; even his words carried the scent.
As they approached the city gates, Xiao Wu and Gu Yue Na put on veils.
"What are you doing?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
Xiao Wu explained, "This town is chaotic, filled with all sorts of people. As beautiful young women, covering our faces can save us some trouble."
"Isn't Teacher Zhao, a Soul Saint, with us?" Ning Rongrong said.
"We still need to be careful. You know, fighting and killing ruins the mood," Xiao Wu said.
"Do you want one? I have extra," she said, producing a veil for Ning Rongrong.
"Thank you," Ning Rongrong said, accepting it and putting it on, just like Xiao Wu.
Including Zhu Zhuqing, who always wore a mask, four beautiful faces were now covered.
Zhao Wuji praised, "Xiao Wu, I didn't expect you to have so much experience for your age."
Xiao Wu shrugged and said, "Can't be helped. When you're too pretty, some guys always want to get their hands on you."
The group entered the town and, after buying some supplies for living in the forest, chose a seemingly average hotel to stay in.
Zhao Wuji chose it, mainly because the hotel was cheap.
They paid for their rooms individually. Oscar and Tang San discussed it and shared a room.
Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing shared a room, while Ao Tian roomed with Gu Yue Na.
Seeing Ao Tian and Gu Yue Na enter their room, Zhao Wuji shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Ugh, these young people nowadays..."
That night, Ao Tian and Gu Yue Na had a very comfortable time.
Xiao Wu forced herself to cultivate for a bit before going to sleep, while Zhu Zhuqing was constantly cultivating.
Before, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu shared a room at Shrek Academy. Both of them were lazy when it came to cultivation, but now, after seeing Zhu Zhuqing's diligent practice, Ning Rongrong was spurred into action and began to force herself to train as well.
In the past few days at Shrek Academy, Ao Tian and the other geniuses had completely crushed Ning Rongrong's pride. She had always thought of herself as a peerless genius, but upon arriving here, she realized that aside from her background, she was the worst of the bunch.
They were all girls of the same age, twelve years old. Gu Yue Na and Xiao Wu were already at level thirty-one, and Zhu Zhuqing was at level thirty, while she herself was only at level twenty-six. This made her feel very uncomfortable.
"I must surpass them. I am the young miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and I will not be weaker than them," Ning Rongrong thought to herself.
Unfortunately, after a few hours of training, she finally couldn't resist the fatigue and fell asleep.
Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes and looked at the sleeping Ning Rongrong. She felt somewhat fortunate, fortunate that she had met Xiao Wu and obtained the magical technique.
She used to be like Ning Rongrong, feeling extremely tired after meditating and cultivating for a few hours, and could only recover through sleep.
But now, she possessed the magical technique and found that when cultivating according to its principles, not only did the speed of her Soul Power growth increase, but the consumption of her mental energy also decreased to a negligible level.
Now, she could cultivate continuously until dawn.
With her talent improved and her cultivation time increased several times over, Zhu Zhuqing became increasingly confident that she would reach the Title Douluo level within a few years.
The next morning, as dawn was breaking, Zhao Wuji's booming voice roused everyone.
After eating breakfast at the hotel, everyone left the town and began heading towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
Tang San was very excited. He had been waiting for this third Soul Ring for several months and was eager to know what kind of Soul Ring he would get and what Soul Skills he would obtain.
Zhu Zhuqing rarely spoke, but even in her eyes, a hint of longing and anticipation often flickered.
Soul Rings were essential for Soul Masters to become stronger. What Soul Master wouldn't look forward to them?
Besides Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing, Ao Tian was equally expectant.
This time, Tang San would obtain his third Soul Ring earlier than in the original story. In the original story, Tang San, after Xiao Wu was taken away by the Titan Ape, chased after her with bloodshot eyes. He then encountered an injured Human Face Spider and absorbed its Soul Ring after giving it his all.
Ao Tian was very curious, wondering if Tang San would obtain the Human Face Spider's soul ring this time, just like in the original story.
If that were the case, he might be able to understand something from it.
