Chapter 196: A Couple's Look?
2023-04-04 Author: Fu Hejun
In the video, Zhu Zhuqing was already utterly spent after she forcefully, and with great difficulty, killed that Upper-tier Demon.
Although the Life-and-Death Arena Soul Skill was very powerful, it had many limitations. Firstly, this skill had a cooldown period; once activated, it couldn't be used again for a long time. Secondly, activating this skill was extremely draining for her. Moreover, if it failed to hit the enemy, the energy expended on that attack would be wasted.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Zhu Zhuqing would not easily use this move. She would only take such a risk when fighting for her life. Now that she had activated this skill, she would need at least half a year to recover to her peak condition. Furthermore, the next activation of the Life-and-Death Arena would have to wait two years.
Of course, as her strength improved in the future, the various limitations and flaws of the Life-and-Death Arena would gradually be compensated for.
Just then, several rays of light flew from a distance.
Soon, they stopped not far from the two women. After the radiance dispersed, their true forms were revealed, comprising both men and women.
These people were precisely the God-level Strong Cultivators who had come to provide support. After seeing that the Demon had already been dealt with, they couldn't help but reveal expressions of surprise. They then looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was exhausted and being supported by Ning Rongrong, their faces showing admiration.
Meanwhile, in reality, several people watching the belated reinforcements in the video couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "That's me! My future self has achieved Godhood?!"
In the video, seeing that the problem had already been resolved, the few late-arriving God-level Strong Cultivators did not linger. After exchanging a few polite words with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, they bid farewell and departed.
After the others left, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also prepared to depart, but before leaving, the spoils of war had to be collected. An Upper-tier Demon's corpse contained extremely powerful energy. Moreover, the Demon's blood and other components possessed highly corrosive and assimilative properties. If left here, and a beast were to consume them... the consequences would be unimaginable.
Similar incidents had occurred in the past, resulting in the creation of numerous Demonic Beasts and Demonic Humans. Fortunately, they were discovered early; otherwise, it would be impossible for the Douluo Continent to remain so stable now.
Therefore, as the two left, they meticulously collected the Demon's corpse and Skull Scepter, not even letting go of the blood splattered on the ground. Only after scraping away even the topsoil did they finally depart.
The scene shifted.
What came into view was a blue sky and white clouds.
And a city floating amongst the clouds!
【This... Isn't this!】
【This is White Cloud City!】
【My heavens, how is an entire city flying in the sky?!】
【What kind of Soul Skill is this?】
【No, rather, what kind of strength is capable of literally excavating an area as large as an entire city!】
【It's too magnificent!】
The audience in the live stream room gasped in astonishment. They immediately recognized the city floating among the clouds as White Cloud City, which had appeared in the video before, established by Ye Cheng!
However, this city was now a genuine "White Cloud City".
It seemed that the city, along with the entire surrounding land, had been literally excavated and then placed upon the clouds, forming a floating city.
At this moment, a rainbow light flew from a distance.
It soon arrived at the city gate of the cloud-borne city. By this time, after more than a hundred years had passed, even the guards watching the gate were Titled Douluo.
The rainbow light landed at the city gate, revealing the figures of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing. Ning Rongrong was currently supporting Zhu Zhuqing. The guards at the gate clearly recognized the two. Seeing them, they hurriedly waved them through.
The vermilion city gate opened. Ning Rongrong didn't hesitate and walked straight in. As she took a step, mysterious runes instantly appeared around the city gate, and the two figures vanished from their original spot.
The next moment.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing appeared from the city gate directly at the main entrance of the City Lord's Manor in the Inner District.
Now, White Cloud City, floating among the clouds, was naturally different from its past. Its surrounding city gates had all been transformed into teleportation gates, allowing for spatial teleportation to pre-set anchor points. One could travel to any city on the land below, where pre-set spatial anchor points existed.
Travel between White Cloud City in the sky and the cities below ground was possible at will through the teleportation gates.
In these years of the Abyss invasion, the Douluo Continent didn't merely see its strength grow; the development of Soul Guiding Technology also didn't lag behind.
【Wow! This gate actually possesses the ability of teleportation!】
【I'm getting more and more confused.】
【Could this be the effect of a Soul Tool? Or someone's Soul Skill?】
【It feels like everything is developing too fast.】
【Can Soul Tools achieve this level too?】
【Hard to understand...】
Some of the audience in the live stream room watched in confusion, while others pondered deeply. Some were simply amazed by the changes of the future.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing arrived outside the City Lord's Manor, and before they could even call out, they felt the surrounding space shift. The next moment, a familiar figure appeared before their eyes.
"Brother."
"Teacher."
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Cheng before them, understanding that he had sensed them and directly transported them inside.
"You're heavily drained."
Ye Cheng saw Zhu Zhuqing, her face pale and weak, having to be supported. He frowned slightly, saying nothing. He simply raised his right hand, and accompanied by brilliant and colorful radiance, a ten-tiered glazed miniature pagoda appeared.
A dreamlike colored light shone from the small pagoda, enveloping Zhu Zhuqing.
As for Zhu Zhuqing, enveloped by the radiance, her originally weak aura gradually strengthened, her pale complexion regained its ruddy hue, until she no longer needed Ning Rongrong's support.
Seeing this, Ye Cheng's ten-tiered pagoda's radiance retracted. It then vanished.
"What happened?" he asked, only then beginning to inquire about the course of events.
"This time, it was an Upper-tier Demon that came..." Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing did not hesitate, telling him the full story.
After listening, Ye Cheng said in a reproving tone, "Zhu Qing, you were too impulsive."
"I just..." Zhu Zhuqing mumbled, trying to defend herself, but ultimately could only lower her head under his gaze. She whispered, "I know I was wrong."
"Your victory this time was purely a stroke of luck; that Demon was too careless. The next time you encounter a similar situation, you might not be so fortunate." Ye Cheng looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was lowering her head in admission of guilt, sighed, and said helplessly, "I don't wish to one day receive news of your death."
Upon seeing the once awe-inspiring Asura Goddess now so docile before Ye Cheng, looking like a meek young wife who would accept any scolding or beating, many in the live stream room were charmed by her adorable contrast.
【Hahaha, she looks so well-behaved.】
【I still prefer her unruly appearance from before...】
【But City Lord Ye is indeed right!】
【Zhu Zhuqing's luck truly accounted for most of her success this time; she might not be so fortunate next time.】
【Is it just my dirty mind? Why do I feel like the relationship between these two master-disciple isn't as simple as that of master and disciple?】
【No way? I think it's quite normal?】
【Perhaps it's because both of them look too young, which gives you the impression that they're a perfect match.】
The people in the live stream room discussed animatedly, with many even jokingly remarking that Ye Cheng and Zhu Zhuqing, the master-disciple pair, looked quite like a married couple.
In reality, Zhu Zhuqing saw these Bullet Comments, and a faint, shy blush involuntarily appeared on her beautiful face. Inwardly, she felt an inexplicable joy. She furtively glanced left and right as if she had a guilty conscience. Only after realizing she was alone did she finally let out a breath of relief.
