Chapter 418 Absorbing a 200,000-Year-Old Soul Bone.
"A 100,000-year-old soul ring?"
Ning Rongrong was stunned. Her gaze swept over Xuan Mo first, then turned to Gu Rong.
"Grandpa Bone, what are you all talking about?"
Faced with Ning Rongrong's confusion, Ning Fengzhi and the other two remained silent.
Finally, Ning Fengzhi spoke, his face solemn: "Little Mo, this soul bone is 100,000 years old, right..."
Rumble...
Ning Fengzhi's words struck Ning Rongrong's heart like a thunderclap.
"A 100,000-year-old soul bone!"
Ning Rongrong covered her mouth with disbelief, then looked at Xuan Mo, her voice trembling as she asked, "Mo, is this soul bone really 100,000 years old?"
"It's not a 100,000-year-old soul bone."
Looking at Xuan Mo's serious face, Ning Fengzhi and the other two were taken aback, doubting their own judgment. Ning Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest and saying, "So it really wasn't a 100,000-year soul bone. It seems you were mistaken, Dad."
But as soon as Ning Rongrong said this, Xuan Mo shook his head, denying her statement. "This soul bone is indeed not 100,000 years old, but rather 200,000 years old."
Seeing Xuan Mo's calm and collected demeanor, not only was Ning Rongrong completely stunned, but even Ning Fengzhi and the other two, who had experienced many ups and downs in their lives, began to tremble after realizing what he meant.
"Xiao Mo, you're not joking, are you!" Ning Fengzhi pointed at the soul bone in Xuan Mo's hand, his voice trembling noticeably.
"Although 100,000-year soul beasts are said to be legendary, they do exist. But 200,000-year soul beasts are truly unheard of!"
"Xiao Mo, where did you get this soul bone? And those two 100,000-year soul rings, who exactly are you…" Ning Fengzhi didn't finish his question, but everyone present knew what he meant. The gazes of the two Douluo, Jian Gu and Dui, shifted from the torso bones to Xuan Mo.
Hearing her father's words, Ning Rongrong finally reacted. However, her first reaction wasn't one of being moved or happy, but rather… "Hiss!"
Ning Rongrong's delicate hand landed directly on Xuan Mo's ear, and with a forceful pull, his ear immediately turned bright red, and he couldn't help but gasp. "Rongrong, quick, let go! It hurts so much my ear is going to fall off!"
"Then tell me clearly, where did you get this soul bone and that soul ring?! Did you go looking for some 100,000-year-old soul beast all by yourself?! Ah!" Ning Rongrong completely ignored Ning Fengzhi and Jian Gu, the two Douluo beside her, twisting Xuan Mo's ear, her anger and worry growing with each passing thought.
At this moment, Xuan Mo also realized that Ning Rongrong was worried about him. However, feeling the pain in his ear, he quickly explained, "Rongrong, this soul bone belongs to Xiaobai's father."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong immediately released his grip. "Xiaobai?"
Relieved that Xuanmo was rubbing his ear, he looked at Ning Rongrong, who still held a scrutinizing gaze, and at the curious Ning Fengzhi and Jian Gu Douluo beside her. He then recounted Bai Jun's sacrifice and the origin of his seventh soul skill.
"That was far too dangerous!" After hearing Xuanmo's story, he naturally received a scolding from Ning Rongrong.
However, as Ning Rongrong's anger subsided, Xuanmo spoke up, "Since you know, absorb this soul bone. That way, you can also break through to Soul Saint."
With that, he handed over the torso bone of the Heavenly Tiger.
Ning Rongrong instinctively accepted the soul bone, but even after Xuanmo's explanation, she still hesitated. The reason was simple: this 200,000-year-old soul bone was far too precious.
As Ning Rongrong's father, Ning Fengzhi, being an experienced man himself, naturally understood what his daughter was thinking. Seeing her hesitation, he said, "Rongrong, regardless of how important this soul bone is, its significance lies in being Xiao Mo's betrothal gift to you, and also proof of his intention to marry you."
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words and seeing Xuan Mo's resolute gaze, Ning Rongrong accepted the soul bone, placed it against her chest, and sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Then I'll absorb this soul bone now."
Seeing this, Xuan Mo quickly stepped forward, protecting Ning Rongrong. "Rongrong, I'll protect you."
The two Douluo, Sword and Bone, also released their full soul power, completely enveloping the surroundings, so that not even a fly could get in. As for Ning Fengzhi, he revealed his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to prevent any accidents during the soul bone absorption process.
With everything ready, Ning Rongrong closed her eyes and began to fuse her soul power with the bones of the Heavenly Tiger. A dazzling light immediately shone from Ning Rongrong's chest...
Three hours later, in Seven Treasures City.
"Rongrong, are you sure you're alright coming out so late?" Xuan Mo looked at the cheerful girl beside him, a hint of doting affection flashing in his eyes as he asked.
"What does it matter?"
Ning Rongrong turned her head, looking at Xuan Mo with some dissatisfaction, "Anyway, we came out so late because I wanted to show you around our Seven Treasures City."
"I think you just wanted to come out and play."
Seeing Ning Rongrong's excuse, black lines appeared on Xuan Mo's forehead, and he muttered a complaint to her in a low voice, but everyone heard it.
"So what if I did it on purpose? I just wanted to come out and have fun with you. What, you have a problem with that?" That cold gaze swept over, making Xuan Mo's heart tremble. "Besides, I've been dealing with sect affairs almost all the time. Can't I relax a little?"
"Okay, okay, of course you can."
"Hmph!" Upon receiving Xuan Mo's reply, Ning Rongrong immediately reverted to her previous demeanor and began strolling around Seven Treasures City.
Watching Ning Rongrong hopping and skipping around, Xuan Mo didn't complain at all.
After all, he felt he owed Ning Rongrong quite a bit over the past five years, and accompanying her shopping now was undoubtedly Xuan Mo's way of making up for it in another way.
However, as Xuan Mo scanned his surroundings, looking at the city bathed in light, as bright as day, and incredibly bustling at the moment, a sense of curiosity couldn't help but rise in his heart.
"Rongrong, why is Qibao City still brightly lit and bustling at this hour?"
Ning Rongrong looked at Xuan Mo's curious face and smiled smugly, "You wouldn't believe it. Let me tell you, our Qibao City is..."
At the same time, unbeknownst to them, not far from them, three figures were quietly watching them from the shadows...
