The next morning, as the red sun began to rise.
Ye Lingling's door was knocked on early in the morning.
Still in her pajamas, Ye Lingling asked in surprise, "Brother Yu, why have you come?"
"No time to explain, just come with me." Luo Yu grabbed the girl's arm and hurried her outside.
Ye Lingling quickly shuffled her pale, beautiful legs, the sound of her slippers tapping against the ground as she asked urgently, "Brother Yu, what happened, what's the rush?"
"Rongrong is sick, you need to help her get treated."
"What, Rongrong is sick?" Ye Lingling exclaimed. "That's impossible, wasn't her Martial Soul just upgraded yesterday? She should be in a good condition."
Luo Yu's mouth twitched, "It's precisely because of the Martial Soul upgrade and its improved support effects that she got sick."
"Huh?"
Ye Lingling was puzzled, unable to understand his logic.
Luo Yu's face turned red, and he coughed dryly.
"Just come with me."
...
Inside the girlish, pink bedroom.
Ye Lingling looked at the girl curled up in the bed, her complexion pale and sickly, and was very surprised.
"Rongrong, how did you suddenly become sick? Weren't you just fine yesterday?"
Ning Rongrong glanced at Luo Yu with a resentful look before swiftly looking away and said with pursed lips, "It's nothing, just a little mishap while cultivating my Soul Power, got a small injury."
Ye Lingling said with concern, "Where are you hurt, let me have a look."
"No... it's not necessary."
Ning Rongrong's eyes flickered, and her hands subconsciously protected her abdomen under the covers.
"Strange."
"Let me help you heal."
Ye Lingling shook her head, summoning the Nine-heart Asiatic Apple.
The gentle white light, brimming with vitality like falling petals, landed on Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong felt the scorching pain recede like the tide.
She felt rejuvenated.
"Rongrong, do you feel better now?"
"Lingling, your Nine-heart Asiatic Apple really lives up to its reputation for healing, I feel completely better so quickly."
Ye Lingling smiled modestly in response.
"Don't flatter me. I'm good at healing, but when it comes to boosting strength, that's far from being comparable to your Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda."
Speaking of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda and strengthening abilities.
Ning Rongrong's expression turned extremely vivid, a wave of fear rising in her heart.
She couldn't help but recall the dread of being dominated last night.
Before it was always about power first, speed second.
Who would have thought that after the Martial Soul evolved, the amplifying effect also increased.
Luo Yu was already a formidable force, and with such a strong boost, it almost did her in.
If she had been an agile-attack class Soul Master, she might have been able to withstand it.
But as a support-class Soul Master, she really couldn't cope.
"Eh, Rongrong, what's inside that big black bag in the corner?"
"Don't touch it!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes rounded.
"What's wrong?" asked Ye Lingling, puzzled.
Ning Rongrong said hurriedly, "It's full of trash, very dirty, don't look."
"Oh."
Seeing Ye Lingling withdraw her hand, Luo Yu, who was off to the side, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That bag was filled with torn ultra-short skirts and ripped white stockings, and it wasn't just one set. If Ye Lingling opened it, the two of them could instantly be socially dead.
Luo Yu began to change the subject.
"By the way, Lingling, have you not taken the Immortal Herb I gave you last night?"
Last night?
Ning Rongrong instantly glared.
So, he was late coming to her because he was with Lingling.
Luo Yu noticed Ning Rongrong's murderous gaze and realized that he had accidentally spoken too much.
Ning Rongrong didn't make a scene, but she glared severely at the man several times.
She should never have opened the door to this bad guy last night. She was too weak-willed!
Ye Lingling, oblivious to the couple's little movements, took out the Eight-petal Immortal Orchid with a look of adoration in her beautiful eyes.
"Brother Yu, I'm a bit reluctant to use the gift you gave me."
"Sss!"
Luo Yu widened his eyes because in her haste to come out, Ye Lingling was still in her pajamas.
This meant that she had slept while hugging the Immortal Herb last night.
At this thought, Luo Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"This Immortal Herb is for you to consolidate your foundation and cultivate your essence, and it complements Rongrong's Damask Tulip perfectly. Take it now, and I will protect you to see the effect."
Ye Lingling still felt somewhat reluctant.
However, in the end, she listened to Luo Yu's words and began to absorb the Eight-petal Immortal Orchid on Ning Rongrong's bed.
After ingesting the entire Immortal Herb, Ye Lingling exuded a refreshing fragrance and was completely enveloped by a white glow that symbolized vitality, making her already peaceful face even more holy and graceful.
At the same time, it seemed to sense something.
The Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda within Ning Rongrong's body gently trembled.
...
After a period of absorption by Ye Lingling, her aura gradually stabilized.
Luo Yu nodded and turned to the side, instructing softly,
"Rongrong, please look after her for a while; there should be no more problems."
Ning Rongrong nodded, "Okay, what will you do, Brother Yu?"
"Of course, I need to cultivate as well."
"Swish!"
A red and a blue crystal clear Dragon King Soul Bones appeared in Luo Yu's hand.
Gleaming with flowing iridescence, they exuded extraordinary prestige.
"Hiss!"
Ning Rongrong's pupils dilated in utter shock.
"Brother Yu... what level are these soul bones?"
"Why can't I determine them?"
"Guess?" Luo Yu's mouth curved into a smile.
Ning Rongrong stared intently, her shock increasing with every moment.
Even the casual breath of essence from the surface of the soul bones caused her heart to tremble fiercely.
Having grown up in the wealthiest sect of Douluo, she believed she could recognize all the world's treasures.
But Luo Yu kept refreshing her knowledge again and again.
The Immortal Herbs from before were already exceedingly rare, hard to find in the whole world.
Now, faced with these two soul bones, Ning Rongrong didn't even know what to say.
She had never seen soul bones of such quality before and, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, she exclaimed in shock, "Brother Yu, could these be soul bones from a hundred-thousand-year soul beast? How did you get them?"
Luo Yu shook his head with a smile.
"Guess again."
Ning Rongrong's pretty face was filled with shock.
No way.
Could it be higher than a hundred thousand years?
It should be known that even Sword Grandpa at level 96, who had a full set of six soul bones, did not have a single one from a hundred-thousand-year beast.
Ning Rongrong hesitated, "Ten… hundred and fifty thousand years?"
"No."
Ning Rongrong clenched her teeth, "Two hundred and fifty thousand years from a ferocious beast soul bone, it can't be more."
Luo Yu caressed the two smooth soul bones, feeling the heat and the cold on each respectively, and said slowly, "Both of them are hundred thousand year level soul bones."
"What?"
Ning Rongrong was thunderstruck, her voice trembling.
"A… hundred thousand years?"
"Brother Yu, you didn't misspeak?"
Seeing Luo Yu's affirming gaze, Ning Rongrong was astounded beyond measure.
She lamented that poverty had limited her imagination.
She had always thought that she would eventually become the wealthiest woman in Douluo.
Until she met Luo Yu, she felt she might just be a poor person.
Suppressing her inner shock, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but question, "Brother Yu, a million-year soul beast would be extremely terrifying. Even the strongest Titled Douluo couldn't defeat it, could they?"
"How did you get their soul bones?"
Luo Yu said with a smile, "They came to me on their own."
"Cut it out, you're bragging; I don't believe it," Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes, "You're not planning to absorb them now, are you?"
"What's the matter?" Luo Yu raised an eyebrow.
Ning Rongrong exclaimed with worry, "Isn't that too dangerous? The energy contained in the soul bones will burst you!"
"Don't worry."
"Others might not dare, but I can certainly try."
In the end, under Ning Rongrong's worried gaze, Luo Yu sat cross-legged on a mat on the ground.
He calmed his mind, focusing his attention.
He controlled the two million-year Dragon King Level Soul Bones, slowly integrating them into his left and right arms.
"Boom!"
Aura exploded around Luo Yu; his hair danced wildly, highlighting his resolute face.
The Dragon God Martial Soul autonomously emerged, with alternating flashes of red-gold and blue-gold soul rings.
On the other side, Ye Lingling's absorption of the Immortal Herb was nearing the end, her Nine-heart Asiatic Apple Martial Soul becoming more substantial, wrapped in a silver glow unique to the Eight-petal Immortal Orchid.
Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda spontaneously resonated, eager to move…
