"Hey, Zhu Zhuqing, are you planning to go to the Star Sect that Ye Feng mentioned?" Ning Rongrong giggled as she walked over and hugged Zhu Zhuqing's arm.
"How did you know?"
Zhu Zhuqing raised an eyebrow, clearly caught off guard.
"Of course, we went to see Ye Feng together last time. I feel like Ye Feng has a thing for you, and it seems like you like him too. You're not planning to elope with him, are you…?" Ning Rongrong winked mischievously, her face full of gossip.
"What elopement? Rongrong, stop talking nonsense!" Zhu Zhuqing's face turned red as she quickly defended herself.
"I'm going to the Star Sect just to get stronger. Besides… Ye Feng has such incredible talent, and he's the successor of the Star Sect. How could he possibly be interested in someone like me…" Zhu Zhuqing's voice grew softer as she spoke.
Ye Feng was like the blazing sun in the sky, while she was just an insignificant little black cat on the ground, only able to look up at him. How could she dare to have any other thoughts…
"You never know, Zhu Zhuqing. You're so beautiful, and your figure is amazing. Even that useless Dai Mubai is completely infatuated with you~ If you just take the initiative, Ye Feng definitely won't be able to resist." Ning Rongrong flashed a devilish smile, continuously egging her on.
"Go away! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll ignore you!"
Zhu Zhuqing quickly pushed Ning Rongrong away, unable to handle this little demon any longer. She was afraid she might actually be swayed into trying to seduce Ye Feng…
She had her dignity, after all. How could she possibly do something like that…
Unless…
"Then let's go together~"
Ning Rongrong giggled and clung to Zhu Zhuqing again.
"Didn't you look down on the Star Sect? Why do you want to go?" Zhu Zhuqing was puzzled. Last time, Ning Rongrong had almost gotten into an argument with Ye Feng, clearly showing her disdain for the Star Sect. Why would she want to go now?
"Hmph~ Of course, I'm going to check out the Star Sect. I don't want you to be deceived. If the Star Sect lives up to its reputation, you should still come to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The resources we can provide you are unmatched by any advanced academy." Ning Rongrong huffed, her tone full of pride.
Of course, while she said this, Ning Rongrong had already started to believe some of what Ye Feng had said…
Zhu Zhuqing's sudden surge in strength was a perfect example.
After taking just one pill, an agility-attack type like her was able to overpower Dai Mubai, a strength-attack type, across levels. That was just absurd!
So she had to go and see for herself, maybe even try to get her hands on a pill to make herself stronger.
Not only that, but the news of her leaving Shrek Academy had probably already reached the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. By then, her Sword Grandfather or Bone Grandfather would likely come looking for her, and they could all go to the Star Sect together to see if it was truly as powerful as Ye Feng claimed.
She actually had quite a bit of fondness for Ye Feng herself, almost to the point of liking him.
After all, Ye Feng was practically perfect in every way, meeting all her criteria for a partner.
Compared to that useless Oscar who only knew how to brag, he was infinitely better! "Alright, I trust Ye Feng. If you behave a little better, he might actually give you a chance~" Unaware of Ning Rongrong's ulterior motives, Zhu Zhuqing smiled slightly and didn't refuse.
After all, the journey to the Star Sect was long, and having an extra companion would be nice. Moreover, the other party was the princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. With Ning Rongrong accompanying them, the safety of the journey would also be higher.
Just then, a strikingly beautiful woman suddenly appeared ahead.
Seeing the two stunningly beautiful young ladies, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, the woman seemed to recall her own youth.
She stepped forward and asked, "Hello, is Shrek Academy in this direction?"
The newcomer was naturally Liu Erlong, who had come from Heavenly Dou City.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were slightly taken aback upon seeing the beautiful woman. After all, the village was mostly filled with elderly women. Although this woman appeared to be in her thirties, her beauty was undoubtedly top-tier in the village.
"Yes, it's in this direction. Just head into the village, and you'll see it," Zhu Zhuqing nodded and replied.
Although she was curious about the woman's identity, she had already withdrawn from Shrek Academy, so she didn't ask further.
"Alright, thank you. What a kind girl~" Liu Erlong smiled slightly, clearly quite satisfied with Zhu Zhuqing, while also feeling a bit emotional.
Not only was she beautiful, but her figure was also excellent. Moreover, at such a young age, she had already reached the terrifying level of a Soul Grandmaster. If only she were her daughter...
If she hadn't separated from Yu Xiaogang back then, they would surely have had children. Calculating the time, they would probably be around this age now.
However, despite her emotions, Liu Erlong didn't say much more.
It was just a chance encounter. She was in a hurry to find Flender and ask about Yu Xiaogang's situation, so after speaking, she turned and left.
"This auntie's aura is so powerful. Could she be the Dean's friend?" Ning Rongrong, being a support-type, had slightly stronger mental power and was very perceptive of Liu Erlong's aura.
She could sense that the faint yet undeniable pressure emanating from Liu Erlong was no less than that of Dean Flender.
"Maybe, but it's none of our business. Let's hurry, the journey is still long," Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said.
"Alright."
Ning Rongrong nodded and didn't pay further attention.

Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
After accumulating nearly two months of luck, Ye Feng also initiated a grand draw.

Dense Lexical Traits appeared, looking quite promising, but Ye Feng had to draw 40 times this round before he got one gold and two red traits.
Fortunately, his luck wasn't too bad, as the Lexical Traits he drew were decent.
[Heaven-defying Comprehension] would grant Ye Feng immense comprehension, allowing him to grasp various martial arts at an astonishing speed.
In the Douluo Continent, this would translate to creating Self-Created Soul Skills and even comprehending various Supreme Laws! No matter how powerful a Soul Skill is, it will always be limited by the age of the Soul Ring.
Tang Wulin had dozens of flashy skills and various abilities, but it wasn't until he created the "Dragon Emperor Forbidden Technique" that he became somewhat invincible.
Ye Feng felt that he should also create one, but he had no clue before. Now, with his enhanced comprehension, countless ideas surged into his mind. Creating one was simple, but crafting a Soul Skill stronger than his current ones still posed a bit of a challenge.
Moreover, it wasn't just about becoming invincible himself; he could also share his comprehension with others, allowing them to grasp the power of Self-Created Soul Skills! Next was [Perfected Sword Physique]. Although it was a red Lexical Trait, Ye Feng had no use for it at the moment. He could give it to Qian Renxue in the future.
Then there was the [Child of Nature] Lexical Trait. This should be the Talent of the Blue Silver Emperor, A Yin, and also Tang Wulin's fifth Soul Skill. Now, it had become Ye Feng's Lexical Trait.
Although Ye Feng's Martial Soul was of the dragon lineage, possessing the [Child of Nature] Lexical Trait still had endless benefits.
Hmm, there was also the [Many Children, Great Fortune] Lexical Trait. Ye Feng didn't dare to use it for now—he was still young and couldn't afford to cause any life-changing consequences.
Even if he needed it, Ye Feng wouldn't equip it, as equipping a Lexical Trait was permanent, and it would always take effect. That wasn't a good thing.
Lastly, there was the [Peach Blossom Luck] Lexical Trait. This one was quite nice.
Sometimes, a special encounter could be quite pleasant.
