Ning Rongrong brushed a strand of hair from her ear, her pretty face slightly flushed.
It was her first time appearing before Xiao Ze dressed like a princess.
"Of course she's beautiful, didn't you see Xiao Ze's eyes practically popping out?"
In the distance, Dugu Yan and the other three slowly walked over.
Xiao Ze awkwardly rubbed his nose; she was indeed beautiful, giving off a divine aura.
Ning Rongrong was very pleased with Xiao Ze's reaction, feeling that waking up two hours early was well worth it.
"Ning Rongrong, are you ready?" Xiao Ze held out a bowl of sweet tofu pudding.
"I'm ready, I've waited so long for this moment," Ning Rongrong nodded heavily.
A few days prior, Ning Rongrong had felt her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit's core on the verge of exploding.
She knew that her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit was about to evolve.
She was so excited that she couldn't sleep at night, only managing to fall asleep when cradled in Xiao Ze's arms.
"Good."
Xiao Ze held a celadon bowl containing sweet tofu pudding, its surface drizzled with amber osmanthus honey, sprinkled with crushed walnuts and a few bright red goji berries; steam gently rose, and a sweet aroma filled the air.
"Open wide." Xiao Ze scooped a spoonful of sweet tofu pudding, the tip of the spoon gently touching her lips.
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, and she took the spoon into her mouth, the sweet, mellow bean fragrance melting on her tongue.
The aroma of osmanthus honey burst forth in her mouth.
Xiao Ze's thumb brushed against the corner of her lips, wiping away a little spilled honey.
"Good luck."
Setting down the sweet tofu pudding, Xiao Ze and the four girls, including Dugu Yan, sat on the sofa, intending to watch Ning Rongrong's Spirit evolution and prepare for their own in the future.
Over the past six months, Xiao Ze's own Spirit had also grown stronger.
He felt that his Spirit was unlikely to evolve, but his Spirit Ability effects and the efficacy of the farmlands and pastures in his spiritual sea were improving.
Even the quality enhancement of Sui Hua and the others had accelerated significantly.
Time slowly passed.
Suddenly, Ning Rongrong felt as if her body was enveloped by a powerful force, and every cell cheered.
Her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit also appeared before her, involuntarily.
Seeing this, Xiao Ze and the four others immediately became serious.
"It's starting, it's starting!" Dugu Yan exclaimed excitedly.
Besides Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were the most excited.
One needed to solve her poisoning problem, otherwise she couldn't get close to Xiao Ze, which was a huge hassle.
The other wanted to resolve the curse on her own Spirit; both were extremely important.
As for Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran, while excited, they weren't overly so.
Perhaps they had mentally prepared themselves over the past six months.
Initially, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit still retained its familiar appearance, its seven-tiered body emitting a soft glow.
As time went on, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit slowly began to change.
The light on the tower body became increasingly brilliant and dazzling.
Then, the eighth tier of the tower slowly emerged, its glazed luster captivating everyone's gaze.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong was immersed in the miraculous process of her Spirit's evolution, completely unaware of the external changes.
She only felt that the connection between herself and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit was becoming increasingly close.
It was as if her Spirit had become a part of her body.
She could even clearly feel the special energy contained within the tower.
The moment the eighth tier of the tower fully formed, the entire living room seemed to come to a standstill.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit... became the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit, now erupting with a dazzling light that enveloped everything around it.
Xiao Ze and the others couldn't help but cover their eyes; this blinding light was too intense to bear.
Within the light, Ning Rongrong's figure was faintly visible, and coupled with her dress, she looked like a fairy descending to the mortal world.
After a long while, the light gradually dissipated, and Ning Rongrong slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit before her, her eyes were filled with surprise and shock.
Her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit had finally evolved into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit!
She saw Xiao Ze and the others still closing their eyes, looking bewildered, so she stepped forward and pinched Xiao Ze's nose.
"Xiao Ze, why are you all closing your eyes?"
Xiao Ze opened his eyes: "The light from your Spirit's evolution just now was too dazzling; we couldn't stand it."
"Oh," Ning Rongrong nodded.
"Rongrong, is this your Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit?" Dugu Yan stepped forward and touched the tower's body.
"That's right, I'm the first Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit Master in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in a hundred years; from now on, the Sect can be renamed the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile School!" Ning Rongrong laughed.
"That's if you become the Sect Master."
"Soon, soon! Once my Spirit evolves into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit, I'll directly become the Sect Master."
"Not so fast. It took you this long to evolve to the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit; the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit might take even longer." Xiao Ze was also happy for Ning Rongrong.
"What's that? I'm still young; maybe it'll evolve in a few years." Ning Rongrong put away her Spirit, threw herself into Xiao Ze's arms, and kissed him on the lips: "Thank you, Xiao Ze."
"There's no need for that between us."
"Oh, oh, oh, aren't you two being a bit too much, kissing in front of us?" Dugu Yan teased.
"Hehe, someone's lips are poisonous when they sleep," Ning Rongrong stuck out her little pink tongue.
"You're annoying!" Dugu Yan was irked.
"Alright, alright, don't be unhappy. Your Spirits should be evolving soon too, right?"
"Hmm, almost," Ye Lingling nodded.
"That's good! When our Spirits evolve, we'll be even stronger and win the championship of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament!" Ning Rongrong clenched her little pink fist and raised it.
"It's still early; you're thinking too much already." Xiao Ze pinched Ning Rongrong's small, delicate nose.
"With you, winning the championship will be very easy," Ning Rongrong laughed.
"Are you planning to slack off?"
"How could I? I'll be behind you, providing support. I want to be the woman behind you."
"You mean *on* him, right?" Dugu Yan chuckled.
"Ah... Dugu Yan!" Ning Rongrong reached out and tickled Dugu Yan.
The girls immediately started playfully bickering.
Xiao Ze watched the battle of the beautiful girls, finding it quite amusing.
After a long while, everyone was tired and lay on the sofa.
"Rongrong, are there any changes after your Spirit evolved?"
"No, just that I can now reach level eighty-nine, since our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit's boosts are all percentage-based."
"That's true." Xiao Ze nodded, though he felt it was a pity.
But there were indeed no other changes in the original work.
However, the eighth and ninth Spirit Abilities were incredibly exaggerated.
The eighth Spirit Ability could grant immunity to any attack below the ninth Spirit Ability, withstand nine ninth Spirit Ability attacks without being destroyed, and simultaneously absorb and convert the attacking spirit power into defensive power.
The ninth Spirit Ability was even more formidable, granting one second of invincibility, blocking any attack below the divine level.
It was simply abnormal.
"Xiao Ze, will you come with me to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
