"Why… why…"
"It was clearly agreed…"
Tears dripped from Ning Rongrong's eyes onto the white cocoon.
After a whole year, the white cocoon had shown no reaction at all, naturally causing worry.
Even the two Title Douluo, Chen Xin and Gu Rong, were powerless, wearing stern faces as usual; smiles on their faces were rare.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward and patted Rongrong on the back, soothingly saying:
"Rongrong… don't be too sad. I think Qingling is fine; it's just that forming a cocoon requires a long period of waiting."
"I know… it's just… I can't accept that someone healthy would suddenly form a cocoon. Even just a word beforehand would have been fine!"
"Boohoo!" Ning Rongrong's eyes were red from crying, her gaze full of attachment to Qingling.
"Rongrong, don't cry. Qingling wouldn't want to see you in such a crying, pitiful state either."
The next moment, an unexpected event occurred.
The long-static white cocoon suddenly shattered.
A dazzling light burst forth, blinding Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
When the golden light faded, Ning Rongrong witnessed the moment the cocoon revealed a beautiful figure, and she hurriedly leapt into Qingling's arms.
"Qingling!"
"Boohoo!"
"I missed you so much!"
"Do you know how worried I was? Why didn't you tell us when you formed the cocoon?"
"Rongrong, I'm fine, aren't I?" Chen Qingling smiled lightly, then noticed Ning Rongrong's soul power level—astonishingly, it had reached level fifty-one.
"Well done, Rongrong! You've improved quite a lot—already level fifty-one!"
Ning Rongrong, acting proud, lifted her head: "It's been more than a year. Reaching fifty-one is normal, isn't it?"
"Ah! More than a year?"
Chen Qingling couldn't believe that she had wasted over a year merely by understanding the true meaning of the Butterfly God.
"What's wrong, Qingling?"
"Over a year has passed? I feel like only a few months have gone by."
"Qingling, why did you form a cocoon?" Ning Rongrong blinked, looking like an inquisitive little child.
She was genuinely curious—what exactly was Qingling doing? Why form a cocoon? And it had lasted over a year!Judging by Qingling's expression, she herself didn't realize it had been so long.
"I… just wanted to try soul bone techniques. I didn't expect it would become a link to the Butterfly God Divine Test."
"So… during this past year, Qingling, you've been undergoing the Butterfly God Divine Test?"
"Yes!"
"Then… during the time I wasn't around, did anything happen?"
"Yes, of course! So many things happened this past year, Rongrong—you have no idea!"
"What things?"
"The Spirit Hall, I don't know what whim they were on, advanced the All-Continent Elite Competition again."
"Ah? Advanced again?"
Chen Qingling was stunned. This felt like a scheme targeted at her.She had read the continent's records; the All-Continent Elite Competition's timing was always consistent.
Yet this time, the schedule changed drastically!Could it be that the Spirit Hall knew she was too strong, so they advanced it? To prevent losing if factions sided with her?Qingling didn't fully understand, but she was deeply shocked.
"Yes! It's been advanced! Now there's only half a year until the All-Continent Elite Competition."
"Half a year!"
Chen Qingling exclaimed. That was too much of an advance!
"Qingling, I feel like the Spirit Hall is up to something. You'd better not participate. I think this is a trap set for you."
"After all, Qingling, someone as extraordinary as you would surely threaten the Spirit Hall's position."
From the perspective of the outsider, Ning Rongrong saw things very clearly.
Beside her, Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement:"Yes! Qingling! Rongrong is right. This is definitely a trap set by the Spirit Hall for you—you absolutely cannot go!"
Chen Qingling smiled lightly:"Don't worry. With my current strength, even a million-year soul beast couldn't touch me."
"Let alone those Title Douluo in the Spirit Hall."
"Ah?!"Hearing Qingling's words, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were stunned.
What had they just heard? Even a million-year soul beast couldn't harm Qingling?
This… this was impossible!A Soul Emperor-level power being stronger than Title Douluo—it was outrageous.
Thinking of Qingling's father's abilities, it was not surprising that his daughter would be formidable as well.
"But… Qingling, you clearly could avoid danger. Why risk yourself?"
A subtle light shone in Chen Qingling's eyes:"I want to see the current Spirit Hall's Emperor in person."
At these words, Ning Rongrong's pupils constricted, covering her mouth with her small hand:"Qingling… you don't mean you think the current Spirit Hall Emperor is your mother, do you?"
In the world, extremely powerful female soul masters were rare. And yes, it was plausible that the current Spirit Hall Emperor could be her mother.
However—
Chen Qingling shook her head:"No. I'm 100% certain the current Spirit Hall Emperor is not my mother."
Instantly, Ning Rongrong was puzzled:"If not your mother, then why do you want to meet her personally?"
"Rongrong, you don't understand. I want to see the Spirit Hall Emperor's demeanor, so that I can imagine my mother's presence and aura."
"Qingling… do you already know who your mother is?"
At this, a radiant smile appeared on Qingling's face, and she nodded slightly.
"Yes! I already know who my mother is; I just don't know where she is."
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances and asked in unison:"What's your mother's name?"
"Gu Yue Na."
"Gu Yue Na?! That's a strange name!"
Ning Rongrong placed her left hand on her chin, frowning:"Another person with no record on the continent. There's no information about her—it's as if she never existed."
"Just like your father—mysterious and unfathomable."
Chen Qingling appeared perfectly accustomed to this.
Naturally.
Her father, what kind of person was he?And someone her mother would fancy? Surely, they shared common interests.
Indeed—they were both reclusive.Only similar souls would appreciate one another.
Star Dou Forest, thatched cottage.
Chen Shengge received a system prompt. Opening the heavenly screen, he finally saw his daughter's condition.
Watching her interact harmoniously with her friends, his heart finally settled.
"I never expected that a Divine Test would waste so much time…"
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
"I'll ask everything once the busy period ends."
As Qingling's father, how could he not care about his daughter's situation?
When he heard "Gu Yue Na" pronounced clearly by Qingling, Chen Shengge's head shot up, his eyes fixed on the heavenly screen.
"This girl…"
"There's no way to hide anything from her."
He clicked his tongue, then calmed down.Indeed, considering Qingling's personality, revealing it now was already quite good.
"Fine, it's just a name. No one knows Gu Yue Na anyway."
"No… there's one exception."
Chen Shengge slapped his thigh. He almost forgot Tang San, who has the memories of a God King!He would certainly know Gu Yue Na!
