"Shuang'er, I don't think Ning Linglong is as weak as she appears. She must have some ulterior motive..."
After Xu Tianyang's figure disappeared up the stairs, Yang Yiyi leaned secretively towards Xu Nianshuang and whispered.
"Linglong is a support-type Spirit Master, so it's normal for her to be a bit frail. Yi Yi, stop being so suspicious." Xu Nianshuang gently tapped Yang Yiyi's forehead, feeling helpless.
She couldn't help but think, 'You're a little green tea yourself, and you have the nerve to expose others?'
Moreover, Ning Linglong was a choice approved by Mu Mengyu. Xu Tianyang had a grander goal to achieve, and she needed to balance his harem so he wouldn't spend too much energy on women's affairs.
For example... winning over Shui Bing'er!?
Entering the room, a faint, lingering fragrance filled the air, thick and persistent.
As Xu Tianyang approached, Ning Linglong, lying on the bed, instinctively narrowed her large, water-blue eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly. When her vision focused, she saw Xu Tianyang sitting down not far from her.
"Tianyang!" Ning Linglong didn't show any shyness. She gazed at Xu Tianyang openly, her eyes filled with affection. Coupled with her delicate expression, which was due to seasickness at the moment, she looked particularly endearing.
Xu Tianyang didn't care about Ning Linglong's intentions in approaching him, as long as it benefited him.
Just as Xu Nianshuang thought, as more and more excellent girls gathered around him, he truly didn't have the energy to give equal attention to every girl. He could only try his best to give them everything they desired.
For example, Xu Nianshuang pursued great strength, and Ning Linglong desired power... "Shuang'er said you haven't adapted to seasickness yet, so I came to see you." Xu Tianyang took her slender hand, and the Gold of Life circulated, transferring some life energy into her body.
"I'm much better now," Ning Linglong smiled sweetly at Xu Tianyang.
"I have a way to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda..." Xu Tianyang silently looked at her, then slowly began to speak.
"Really!!!" Ning Linglong instantly 'recovered from her illness,' excitedly sat up, and gripped Xu Tianyang's hand with a little force, asking in a hushed voice.
"This is a qiluo tulip, the king of immortal herbs. It can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, the light of the sun and moon. Absorbing it can evolve your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda," Xu Tianyang explained as he took out the qiluo tulip.
"Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!?" Ning Linglong covered her red lips in excitement, gazing at the immortal herb she had never even heard of, her expression a little dazed.
It looked very strange. Its roots and leaves below were like a dense, finely combed vine curtain, but at the top was a golden tulip, its rich fragrance giving a sense of grandeur.
There was no need to doubt; she could feel the tremor in her Spirit's origin, and an urge to consume it constantly welled up within her.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had always been stuck at the seven-ring realm due to its Spirit. Yet, the seven-ring and nine-ring realms were worlds apart. The realm the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had pursued for countless years was now within her grasp, right before her eyes?
Ning Linglong suppressed her desire and turned to look at the gentle Xu Tianyang. In that instant, she felt her rational mind suddenly become irrational.
Ning Linglong abruptly threw the box containing the qiluo tulip to the foot of the bed, pounced into Xu Tianyang's arms, frantically tearing at his clothes, and showered him with clumsy yet passionate kisses.
"Hey, what are you doing..."
"Tianyang, you're like a poison, making me unlike myself. Grandfather and Ning Fengzhi want to obtain the Sun Moon Empire's top-tier spirit tools through me to strengthen the School's power.
This task initially wavered between Rongrong and me. Now I'm so glad my innate spirit power wasn't as good as Rongrong's, and I'm not the School's heir; otherwise, this task wouldn't have fallen to me.
They have no idea about your ambition, your strength, or the strength of the Sun Moon Empire. Grandfather and the School Master's ideas can only be wishful thinking.
I know I can't compare to the intimacy you have with Nianshuang and Yi Yi, but I will do everything in my power to give you whatever you desire.
I will do my utmost to help you reclaim the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School... no, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianyang looked at Ning Linglong, who was full of ambition and whose eyes were burning with passion, and his expression was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected that in such a short contact, she had seen through the future situation of the continent.
With a fingertip, he lifted Ning Linglong's snow-white chin, and Xu Tianyang embraced the perfect, jade-like body... Looking at the sealed spiritual sea again, the Ice Empress cautiously glanced at the Snow Empress and said, "Snow Empress..."
"I'm fine," the Snow Empress said indifferently, her calm eyes showing no emotion.
This indifferent tone, however, made the Ice Empress and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm feel a chill more biting than absolute zero... The next day.
As Xu Tianyang and the three women were eating breakfast in the room, an unusual commotion came from outside the ship, attracting everyone's attention and simultaneously stopping Yang Yiyi from continuing to scrutinize Ning Linglong.
"What's happening outside?"
"Your Highness, we encountered a small group of pirates, and they have been dealt with," a curvaceous Spirit King walked in and said respectfully.
Nodding, Xu Tianyang didn't pay attention to such a small matter. Let alone a small pirate group, with the ship's configuration, even the Lower Four Sects could be swept away.
After breakfast, he took the three women to the deck. The seawater behind them was stained red with blood, but it was quickly swallowed by the clear seawater, as if nothing had happened.
"It seems something incredible is happening ahead," Xu Tianyang, who had just lain down, sat up in surprise, looking at the empty sea ahead and speaking unexpectedly.
Although Xu Nianshuang and the others saw nothing, they did not question Xu Tianyang's judgment. The group stood at the bow of the ship, gazing into the distant sea ahead.
Suddenly, a huge white figure appeared on the surface of the sea ahead. It moved as fast as a ghost in the ocean, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"So fast, what kind of Sea Spirit Beast is that?" Yang Yiyi covered her mouth in surprise. The white figure was too fast just now, and it disappeared before she could get a clear look.
"It's a Devil Spirit Great White Shark," Xu Tianyang replied. Although it flashed by, he still saw it clearly.
It was a Devil Spirit Great White Shark over ten meters long, perfectly streamlined, with a faint sheen on its white skin. Its speed was incredibly fast, and wherever it passed, the seawater seemed to ripple strangely.
"The Devil Spirit Great White Shark, rumored to be the Sea God's mount and one of the three overlords of the ocean," Xu Nianshuang said calmly. Because of the Sea God, she had recently brushed up on her knowledge of marine Spirit Beasts, both from the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent.
