"It's fine; for injuries, I can help." As soon as Ning Rongrong's words fell, before the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King could answer, specks of luster began to gather around.
In no time, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda revealed itself.
She reached out to gently hold up the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. The moment Ning Rongrong's palm touched it, the nine-story tower body trembled slightly, emitting "buzz buzz buzz" sounds.
A soft halo formed a ring and slowly spread outward.
The entire Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda became increasingly bright.
The halo spreading to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King sprinkled specks of luster. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, not detecting any danger, did not resist.
A moment later, a refreshing and comfortable feeling came from his body.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King in middle-aged form couldn't help but groan a few times from his mouth, his eyes gradually revealing shock: "My body is recovering quickly. What an incredible martial soul."
"Treatment isn't what the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul excels at, but for me, it's not a big problem."
Ning Rongrong's voice came. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King looked toward the source of the voice and slowly said: "You are impressive, whether as a battle soul master or a support soul master. Among the human soul masters I've encountered, none can compare to you."
"In terms of treatment, I, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, am willing to call you the strongest."
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had a cultivation of 990,000 years, but he hadn't lived that long himself—only over 300,000 years. Yet the soul masters he had seen were countless.
None could treat his massive body like Ning Rongrong could.
Moreover, the abilities the other party used were very different from ordinary soul masters.
"Impressive? Barely acceptable."
The light on the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in Ning Rongrong's hand gradually dimmed, then the tower body faded and disappeared.
"Your Excellency Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, for soul and mental consumption, I have no way to recover that. What I can recover is only the physical wounds on your body."
"That's enough." The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King nodded. "If the body can recover, my strength will recover a lot too; self-preservation is sufficient."
If not for Bo Saixi and Tang Chen's actions being so big, he and the Demon Empress wouldn't have discussed going to the Star Dou Great Forest to find someone to help treat him.
"Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?" The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's voice softened; clearly, Ning Rongrong had already earned trust.
"You should know about the sea soul beast beast tides, right?" Ning Rongrong didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "The main reason I came to find you for help is to hope you can resolve this matter."
Ning Rongrong recounted the situation of the sea soul beast tides to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, including the suspected conspiracies involving Bo Saixi, Tang Chen, and others.
Upon hearing this, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's brows locked tightly.
"You hope I help you eliminate that bunch from the Ice Sea?"
"That's right."
After reconfirming the information, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King fell silent.
"Behind the Ice Sea is a half-god level soul beast, plus Bo Saixi and Tang Chen. This beast tide's scale, according to the information my wife and I probed, has already exceeded any historical beast tide I know of."
"I have confidence in scattering them, but completely exterminating them..." The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King shook his head. "I can't do it. Bo Saixi and Tang Chen probably won't stand by either."
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King wanted revenge.
But facing Bo Saixi and Tang Chen, who had divine tools, he had no advantage.
"I'll handle the beast tide side; you handle the corpses."
"What I need you to deal with is the ruler of the Ice Sea, and those few hundred thousand year soul beasts." Ning Rongrong's expression was serious.
"Five hundred thousand year soul beasts, one half-god level soul beast comparable to a Limit Douluo."
"Ning Rongrong, your appetite is too big." The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King took a deep breath. He thought he was already bold and reckless, but he didn't expect the other side to be even more terrifying, actually wanting to swallow them all in one go.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King steadied his mind and said: "What about Bo Saixi and Tang Chen? If the commotion is too big, they can't possibly not know."
Limit Douluos weren't ordinary soul masters. In the battle with Ning Rongrong just now, both sides had limited their moves to a certain area to avoid detection—it was an unspoken understanding.
But if they really fought against the soul beast tide, a massive soul beast tide plus multiple hundred thousand year soul beasts, the soul power fluctuations erupting would likely be detectable even from Vast Sea City.
Not to mention, Bo Saixi was the proxy of Bo Sa Dong, and her martial soul was the Sea God.
"Bo Saixi and Tang Chen, I'll handle." Ning Rongrong's voice carried a touch of cold intent. "However, the soul ring and soul bones of the Ice Sea ruler are mine; I need those things."
"Fine." The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King gave Ning Rongrong a deep look. Although he didn't know what the other planned to do, someone who came alone to cooperate with him wasn't likely to speak without basis.
"I can concede one more step. To recover my soul and mental wounds, I need to devour a large amount of food—meat or vegetarian, doesn't matter, not necessarily hundred thousand year soul beasts or even soul bones. All the soul rings and soul bones of the hundred thousand year soul beasts, I can leave to you."
Since soul beasts couldn't become gods, absorbing even more powerful ones would only raise from 99.9% to 99.99%, with almost no improvement in strength. Di Tian could give his scale to this young girl from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so attempting to trust her wasn't impossible.
However, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's words stunned Ning Rongrong for a moment.
She then understood the reason.
Different from the original work, where the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King wanted to devour Tang San to become a god, but now the path to godhood was severed. Having learned information from Di Tian, perhaps he had other ideas.
Ning Rongrong didn't think too much and voiced her thanks: "Then thank you very much."
White hundred thousand year soul rings and hundred thousand year soul bones.
Even in large quantities—soul bones—who wouldn't want them?
But since it was cooperation, she definitely needed to show sincerity. But since the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was willing to concede a step, she could take them!
After all, she, Ning Rongrong, wasn't some lone ranger.
Behind her were Ning Fengzhi and the sect waiting to be fed!
Clearly, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King also saw through Ning Rongrong's thoughts, especially since Ning Rongrong hadn't hidden them much. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King said: "I hope Bo Saixi dies. Can your Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect handle that?"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's tone carried a probe. Bo Saixi had the Sea God behind her, so the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King wasn't certain. But if possible, he hoped to slaughter the Sea God's believer.
Silence, Ning Rongrong's long silence.
Neither shaking nor nodding her head: "I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee it."
"Moreover, I don't know if you're aware of what the Star Dou Great Forest side is doing, but killing a god's proxy might attract scrutiny from the upper realm."
"Do it if you can; forget it if you can't." The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King didn't force it. "Anyway, if Bo Saixi can't be killed, those soul beasts from the Ice Sea will do."
"It can also settle the grudge from 20,000 years ago when my eye was pierced."
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's eyes flashed with cold intent.
Although Ning Rongrong had used the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to regrow an eye for him, achieving dual-eyed completeness, the humiliation of being blinded by the Sea God Trident wasn't so easily erased.
After negotiating with the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King for a day and heading out for the big event.
Ning Rongrong left the Demonic Whale Sea Area.
