"Ah? What should we do now?"
"What else can we do? We can only go to that place I just sensed and take a look." Zhu Zhuqing quickened her pace, but her hand never let go of Ning Rongrong's.
It must be said that Zhu Zhuqing's personality was genuinely kind. If it were other girls, she probably would have thrown Ning Rongrong aside by now, leaving her to fend for herself.
That way, she could avoid the man resenting her, and also have a proper excuse to decline responsibility.
But Zhu Zhuqing didn't do that.
"Thank you, Zhuqing…" Ning Rongrong said these words shyly. They had only known each other for a few days, and using just the last two characters sounded slightly awkward.
Zhu Zhuqing paused, not showing much reaction, but turned her head and gave Ning Rongrong a faint smile.
The two ran through the forest for a long time, covering a considerable distance, until they finally reached the area where Wukong had thrown the stone.
"What's going on? I can sense it, but I just can't locate it precisely." Zhu Zhuqing frowned, refining her perception, but still couldn't find the stone.
"I can't sense anything either… I just know something here is attracting me strongly," Ning Rongrong said shyly. She felt useless, which embarrassed her.
"The sensed aura… seems to be moving. I don't know what it is, but… it is definitely moving." Zhu Zhuqing tensed fully, her cat-like eyes alert, scanning the surroundings.
Just now, an aura had clearly passed nearby. Its strength was high—not Wukong's aura. Wukong's aura was far too strong; she could have sensed it directly from here.
"What could it be?" Three soul rings slowly rose, her soul skills ready to unleash.
Ning Rongrong was amazed at Zhu Zhuqing's soul ring configuration. She had seen it when she first enrolled, but still couldn't suppress her envy.
"This must be the benefit of sensing the aura," Ning Rongrong's confidence grew. An ordinary soul master couldn't achieve such a favorable soul ring configuration at this level, unless aided by some external force.
That external force must be the power of this aura…
"Be careful. There may be Soul Beasts nearby…" Zhu Zhuqing carefully scanned the surroundings, her long claws never retracting.
If a Soul Beast over six thousand years existed here, neither Zhu Zhuqing nor Ning Rongrong could handle it.
"When Wukong brought us here, I checked—it's just a small forest. The only thing worth noticing is that lake. There shouldn't be any strong Soul Beasts, right?" Ning Rongrong summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower, ready to assist Zhu Zhuqing.
"I know…" Zhu Zhuqing murmured, parting her lips. "But that aura is moving fast. The aura is from the stone Wukong threw. If I'm right…"
She paused, suddenly serious.
"What is it?" Ning Rongrong noticed Zhu Zhuqing had gone silent, and now she too began to sense the gravity of the situation.
"You mean the stone Wukong threw is on a Soul Beast?" Ning Rongrong guessed the correct answer.
If that was true, it would be troublesome.
"Most likely…"
"Roar!" A loud, majestic tiger roar echoed through the forest.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong immediately tensed. This roar was definitely not from an ordinary thousand-year Soul Beast.
A reddish-brown figure occasionally darted through the surrounding forest.
Wherever it went, rare plants and herbs were trampled.
"What should we do?" Ning Rongrong began to panic, her legs trembling and her voice weak.
"Assist me. First, let's see what level this Soul Beast is. If it's over six thousand years, we run immediately!" Zhu Zhuqing commanded Ning Rongrong sternly. With Ning Rongrong's amplification, her own speed, and the use of the Dance-in-Air Technique, escaping would not be a problem—unless it was a Soul Beast over ten thousand years old.
"Here it comes!"
"Seven Treasure Tower releasing Glaze! First grants Strength, second grants Speed!" Ning Rongrong channeled her soul power into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower.
Two soft beams spread into Zhu Zhuqing, granting her a 30% boost in both Strength and Speed.
Meanwhile, Wukong planted his fishing rod at the pond's edge, floating silently above Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, concealing his aura.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong alert, Wukong smiled. He didn't intend to act just yet.
He wanted to see how much Zhu Zhuqing had improved over the years. There was no real danger; Wukong wouldn't make such a rookie mistake again.
But the soul power fluctuations from that Soul Beast indicated it was definitely over ten thousand years old. Wukong squinted, huffing: "A 12,000-year Explosive Flame Fierce Tiger… quite a formidable opponent."
"Its attack is strong, speed decent, defense also solid—it's a top-tier experience Soul Beast."
Though its age wasn't extremely long, its balanced attributes could grant anyone who fought it an overall average enhancement.
A truly balanced Soul Beast.
"I wonder if Zhuqing and the others can handle it…" Wukong was a little concerned. At his current speed, keeping Zhu Zhuqing safe would be simple.
Suddenly, the Explosive Flame Fierce Tiger lunged from the forest, its massive claws aimed at Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
But the presence of the aura within her had improved Zhu Zhuqing's reflexes greatly over the years.
Using her soul weapon's advantage, she planted her foot and pulled Ning Rongrong out of the way, narrowly avoiding the attack.
"Impossible!" Zhu Zhuqing couldn't believe there was a Soul Beast over ten thousand years old in this small forest.
How did she know it was over ten thousand years?
Its body alone exceeded five meters—no way it was just a thousand-year beast…
"A ten-thousand-year Soul Beast! We don't stand a chance if we fight!" Zhu Zhuqing quickly considered which route would be safest for escape.
At this level, its strength represented a qualitative leap. Carrying Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing didn't dare guarantee escape.
"Hey!" Ning Rongrong panicked, shouting loudly.
"Sun Wukong! There's a Soul Beast over ten thousand years! Didn't you say you'd save us?!" Her repeated cries reached Wukong's ears, but he still didn't act.
"Hang on a bit longer. You won't be in life-threatening danger. Not even a scratch…" Wukong floated quietly above, occasionally swatting away a few amorous birds.
The birds chirped indignantly: "I thank you! This has happened several times now!"
Acting like a carefree spectator.
"The little kitty should know that technique by now… just not sure how effective it will be." Wukong eagerly anticipated Zhu Zhuqing using that technique. Every time he employed it, he noticed her simulating his aura flow within herself.
If his guess was correct, the little kitty was definitely practicing the Turtle-Style Qi Gong.
