Chapter 112: Zhu Zhuqing's Shock
That address of 'Brother Tian' made Aotian extremely comfortable. He glanced outside and saw that it was indeed starting to get light, so he had no choice but to give up.
At this moment, Gu Yuena felt very happy. She had never cared about her gender before; all she thought about was the future of the Soul Beast Clan.
Later, after meeting Aotian, she was glad that she was a woman.
Now, she had received Aotian's deep love, and her heart was filled with unprecedented emotion and satisfaction.
Gu Yuena was reluctant for Aotian to leave.
Aotian was equally reluctant, but the sky had already brightened, and he had to go.
Gu Yuena shot Aotian a glance, pushed him off the bed, and said, "It's almost dawn. You should go back first. We'll have plenty of time together in the future..."
The more she spoke, the softer her voice became, but the deep anticipation in her tone was still clearly audible.
Aotian dotingly kissed her forehead and said, "Then I'll head back first."
As he finished speaking, his figure vanished, reappearing in his own room more than thirty meters away.
At the same time, the barrier that had isolated Gu Yuena's room disappeared.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was deeply asleep, suddenly let out a soft murmur and opened her eyes.
She had slept extremely comfortably. This was the first time in so many years that she had slept for so long.
Due to immense pressure in the past, she had to Cultivate late every day, and it had been a long time since she had slept so comfortably.
After opening her eyes, she heard movement in the room and, turning her head, saw Gu Yuena still sitting on the bed across from her.
Her long silver hair was scattered around her as she sat up. Gu Yuena's exquisite skin and stunning figure exuded an ultimate charm.
Even Zhu Zhuqing, being a woman herself, was deeply captivated by this sight.
With just one glance, Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed crimson, and she felt her cheeks grow warm.
She hadn't had many friends before, so this was the first time she had seen another woman's body in such a way, stirring an unusual sensation in her heart.
After their gazes met, Zhu Zhuqing startled and averted her eyes, her heart beating a little faster.
Gu Yuena's pretty face showed a hint of embarrassment. She quickly got up and walked into the adjacent bathroom.
Zhu Zhuqing turned her head again, looking at Gu Yuena's disheveled bed. Remembering Gu Yuena's appearance just now, she couldn't help but wonder what had happened to Gu Yuena last night.
Just then, she heard a knock at the door.
Zhu Zhuqing calmed herself and went to open the door. Standing outside was the slender and graceful Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu walked in, first looking around the room, then wiggled her cute, upturned nose a few times, muttering to herself, "What's that strange smell?"
"So it wasn't my imagination, I smelled it too," Zhu Zhuqing said.
Xiao Wu went to Gu Yuena's bed, took a look, then picked up the quilt.
"Sister Xiao Wu, why are you picking up the quilt?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, puzzled.
"To give to that big bad guy to wash," Xiao Wu replied without thinking.
"Aotian? Why give it to him to wash?"
"Uh... that guy once said he'd take good care of me and Sister Na'er. Of course, a heavy job like washing the quilt should be given to him to do."
"But the quilt was just changed yesterday. Why does it need washing so soon?"
"It's nothing. This quilt was put away without being washed before, so it needs a wash," Xiao Wu casually fabricated an excuse.
"You wretched Xiao Wu, if you keep talking nonsense, I'm coming out to beat you!" Gu Yuena's voice, full of shame and indignation, came from the bathroom. If she weren't currently bathing, she would have surely strung that brat up and given her a good beating...
How dare she say she wet the bed.
Xiao Wu was extremely embarrassed. Fearing Zhu Zhuqing would continue to question her, she quickly changed the subject and asked, "I already helped you improve your Cultivation last night. Go ahead and feel it."
Only then did Zhu Zhuqing recall what happened last night. Hearing Xiao Wu say she had helped her improve her Cultivation, her heart filled with shock, and she hastily checked the Spirit Power within her body.
"This... this... my Spirit Power..." Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face was filled with shock, unable to speak.
Xiao Wu proudly patted her shoulder, boasting, "How about it? Didn't I keep my word?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded blankly, momentarily unable to believe the fact that her Spirit Power had increased from Level Twenty-Seven to Level Thirty overnight.
She took several deep breaths and finally said, "My Spirit Power has risen to Level Thirty."
"Surprised? Unexpected, right?" Xiao Wu asked proudly.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and asked, "Sister Xiao Wu, how exactly did you do it?"
Xiao Wu said, "Didn't I tell you last night? It's my secret; I can't let you know."
"Then will such a rapid increase in Cultivation have any side effects?" Zhu Zhuqing asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, it won't. I directly enhanced your Cultivation Talent, and the increase in Spirit Power is just a byproduct; there won't be any side effects."
"Enhanced Cultivation Talent." Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face looked somewhat blank. A person's talent was predetermined at birth; some had Innate Full Spirit Power, while others had no Spirit Power at all. This talent was destined to be unchangeable.
Yet, Xiao Wu actually said she had enhanced her talent.
Xiao Wu pulled her towards the bed and said, "If you don't believe me, try Cultivating and see if your speed is faster than before."
Zhu Zhuqing's mood became excited. Obediently, she sat cross-legged and began her meditation and cultivation.
A few minutes later, she opened her eyes in shock, speaking with an astonished tone, "My cultivation speed is truly much faster than before, and my Spirit Power circulation speed is even quicker! There's an unprecedented sense of smoothness."
"I wasn't lying to you, was I? So, the time it takes for you to become a Titled Douluo will definitely be shortened significantly," Xiao Wu said.
"Sister Xiao Wu, thank you!" Zhu Zhuqing was so excited that she lunged towards the bedside, tightly embracing Xiao Wu, who was standing in front of her.
Her tears welled up uncontrollably. She truly saw hope; as long as she Cultivated to Titled Douluo, let alone her clan, not even the Imperial Family could force her.
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly said, "Sister Xiao Wu, I don't know how to repay you for this immense kindness."
Xiao Wu said boldly, "We're all sisters; what's with all these formalities?"
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said, "No, I must repay you."
Xiao Wu thought for a moment and said, "I haven't thought of how I want you to repay me yet. How about this: I'll tell you when I think of something later, but you're not allowed to go back on your word then, okay?"
"Mm, whatever you ask me to do, I'm willing," Zhu Zhuqing said.
Xiao Wu imitated the way Aotian, Gu Yuena, and Bibi Dong would pat her head, and she too patted Zhu Zhuqing's head, saying, "I'll go find Aotian first. After Sister Na'er comes out, you can wash up, and then we'll all go have breakfast together."
"Okay," Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
Xiao Wu hopped and skipped out of the room.
Zhu Zhuqing felt a bit envious. Xiao Wu always seemed so happy and carefree, which made her very envious.
After Xiao Wu left, she sat cross-legged again and entered a state of meditation and cultivation.
"My talent has improved, so I must Cultivate even harder," she thought to herself.
