After Zhu Zhuqing lightly kissed Zhao Ling on the cheek like a dragonfly skimming water, her previously dissatisfied expression eased.
She said to Zhao Ling with a calm face,
"Teacher, that kiss counts as what you owed Qing'er. Who told you to leave big sister and Qing'er behind? Do you know how long my sister and I looked for you?"
"Qing'er has been thinking of you all these years, but what about you? You're out there flirting with other women every day, finding so many teacher-mothers for me and big sister, honestly."
Then she was silent for a moment before speaking again.
"Qing'er doesn't want to call you teacher anymore from now on. I'll call you Brother Ling like big sister does."
"Otherwise, even student Ning Rongrong said she wants to be my future teacher-mother, wouldn't I lose face?
If you have no objections, then it's happily decided. If you do have objections, you'd better shut up for Qing'er."
Having come back to his senses, Zhao Ling felt quite helpless about this.
Sigh, another rebellious… obedient disciple who wanted to defy her teacher and ancestors was born.
"Alright, do whatever you want. Even if I disagree, you wouldn't obediently listen to me."
Zhao Ling shrugged, then said to Zhu Zhuyun,
"Yun'er, you go back first. I have some things to explain to your sister."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Teacher, you wouldn't be thinking of doing that kind of thing to Qing'er, would you?"
"You clearly said Qing'er is still young. Yun'er's age is just right now, why don't you harm Yun'er instead?"
Zhao Ling flashed in front of Zhu Zhuyun, flicked her forehead with his finger, and whispered in her ear,
"What nonsense are you thinking, you little girl? I said your sister is still young, so I won't have strange intentions towards her, and I mean it."
"Be good, go back and take a bath first. I'll go to your dorm tonight."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun immediately nodded obediently, tiptoed to kiss Zhao Ling on the cheek, and murmured in his ear,
"Then Ling… darling… Yun'er will wait for you in the dorm."
With that, Zhu Zhuyun happily left Zhao Ling's mansion.
Seeing that this girl had finally obediently left, Zhao Ling couldn't help but sigh. In the future, he should try to take in fewer disciples who wanted to defy their teacher and ancestors.
After sighing, Zhao Ling closed the door, and then with a thought, brought Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing into the new God Realm within his dantian.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing only felt the scene before them shift.
They appeared in a lush, primeval forest filled with countless spiritual Qi.
The spiritual Qi in this primeval forest was so dense that it had formed a misty sea of spiritual Qi.
Even just being here, without doing anything, their spirit power was visibly increasing.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong felt only surprise. Where exactly was this place?
This place actually had such dense heaven and earth essence. If they could cultivate here often, their strength would probably improve by leaps and bounds, right?
Suddenly, the space rippled, and Zhao Ling appeared.
Then, from his storage space, he took out the Qiluo Tulip and the Narcissus Jade Bone, handing them to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing respectively.
"These are two immortal herbs. One is called Qiluo Tulip, suitable for Rongrong."
"The other is called Narcissus Jade Bone, suitable for Qing'er. Eat these herbs now."
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong each took the two immortal herbs.
After carefully examining them for a while, they began to devour the immortal herbs according to Zhao Ling's instructions.
After the two finished eating the immortal herbs, they quickly sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the medicinal effects.
At this time, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's spirit power levels were similar to when they first appeared in the original story.
That is to say, Zhu Zhuqing's spirit power was now level 27, and Ning Rongrong's was level 26.
After the two consumed the immortal herbs, they also absorbed the extremely dense heaven and earth essence, immortal spiritual Qi, and even primordial Qi.
In less than an hour, their spirit power broke through to level 30.
Moreover, less than a third of the medicinal effects of the immortal herbs had been used up, but with their spirit power reaching level 30, they needed to hunt spirit rings.
This made Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing feel like they were dreaming.
But Zhao Ling didn't have so much time for them to be surprised. He took them out of the eighteen realms and appeared in the mansion.
Then, Zhao Ling tore through space and took them to the Sunset Forest.
To find suitable spirit rings for them, Zhao Ling released his spiritual power, as vast as the sea.
After finding suitable targets, he brought them to the side of those target spirit beasts.
With Zhao Ling's oppressive aura helping, those spirit beasts didn't even dare to move, obediently being killed by Ning Rongrong or Zhu Zhuqing.
Then, after spending some time, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing successively absorbed spirit rings, and Zhao Ling brought them to the new God Realm again.
At this time, the remaining medicinal effects of the immortal herbs took effect again, allowing their spirit power to advance rapidly.
Until the medicinal effects of the immortal herbs were completely absorbed, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's spirit power soared to levels 38 and 39.
That is to say, after they consumed the immortal herbs and cultivated in the new God Realm,
Their spirit power increased by eleven or twelve levels in just one afternoon. Such an increase made them feel like they were dreaming.
Moreover, Ning Rongrong found that her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had become different from before.
She carefully counted and found that her pagoda had become nine stories, which made Ning Rongrong's eyes widen like copper bells.
"Nine stories? Why has my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda become nine stories? Student Zhu Zhuqing, has your spirit changed?"
Zhu Zhuqing also carefully sensed for a moment and shook her head.
"I don't feel any changes in my spirit, but my physique seems to have become different from before."
Zhao Ling smiled at the two girls.
"The effects of the Qiluo Tulip and the Narcissus Jade Bone are naturally different. One affects the spirit, and the other affects the physique."
"Now Rongrong's spirit is called the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which is considered the final form of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and doesn't have the limitation of only being able to cultivate to level seventy-nine."
"And the Narcissus Jade Bone can moisten tendons and replenish bones, and unblock the eight extraordinary meridians. It is the most suitable immortal herb for Qing'er. Now that you have consumed these two immortal herbs, your future achievements will naturally be extraordinary."
Ning Rongrong happily hugged Zhao Ling's left arm, her face full of gentle smiles.
"Thank you, Brother Ling. Rongrong doesn't know how to thank you enough. How about Rongrong repay you with her body?"
"Let go of Brother Ling, he's mine…"
Zhu Zhuqing grabbed Zhao Ling's right arm, looking displeased at Ning Rongrong.
This fellow had just said she wanted to be her little teacher-mother, and now she was holding onto Brother Ling's arm and wouldn't let go.
"Won't let go, won't let go…" Ning Rongrong snorted softly, instead tightening her arms around Zhao Ling's left arm even more.
"If you don't let go, believe it or not, I'll beat you up…"
Zhu Zhuqing glared fiercely at Ning Rongrong, looking like she would beat her up at the slightest disagreement.
