"Poof—"

A spherical object about the size of a head was ejected and rolled a few times before landing at Zhuge Lan's feet.

It was covered in unknown yellow, red, and white liquids, causing Zhuge Lan to instinctively step back half a step.

Xiao Wu, covered in sweat, instinctively braced herself.

She strained to look at her "child."

[Emotion Points + 11111]

What is this thing? ? !

How could she, a rabbit, a transformed Soul Beast, give birth to an egg?

Impossible!

It's definitely not her fault!

Then...

It must be Zhuge Lan's problem!

She raised her head, about to ask a question.

But she saw Zhuge Lan summon Li Jing's long sword, making a chopping motion towards the egg.

[Emotion Points + 11111]

▄ █ 〓 █ ( ╯ ● Д ● ) シ!

Xiao Wu pounced, catching the blade while protecting the egg under her body.

—No matter what, this is her "child"!

But the attack didn't land.

Zhuge Lan put away Li Jing's long sword, looking thoughtful.

—The 100% chance of catching a blade empty-handed wasn't triggered, so this egg isn't a living thing?

Too bad.

I wanted to see what kind of expression Tang San would have if he unexpectedly became a father.

"Crack—"

Amidst the crisp cracking sound.

The egg was crushed by Xiao Wu, peeling away inch by inch to reveal the item inside.

A ball of light, radiating golden light.

Oh wow!

A golden legend!

[Emotion Points + 19999]

Xiao Wu was dumbfounded.

What is this?

Where is my child?

She subconsciously reached out to grab it, but passed right through the ball of light.

—This is Zhuge Lan's Soul Bone skill, of course, it has "property rights protection".

Zhuge Lan waved his hand.

The ball of light flew into his hand, and a string of information appeared.

[Longevity Light Sphere: Increases lifespan by 10000 years after consumption!]

Huh?

'System, even after a Soul Beast transforms, do they still have so much lifespan?'

[Embryonic Gaze: As long as the target possessed the ability before death, it may be randomly extracted!]

Causality, this is very System-like.

Zhuge Lan opened his mouth.

Then closed it again.

Although this thing is separated by an eggshell, it did come from Xiao Wu.

It's a little hard to swallow.

The Demon Eye seemed to sense his thoughts, and actively emerged, releasing gravity, swallowing the golden ball of light in one gulp.

[Lifespan + 1000 years!]

[Soul Bone Age + 5000 years!]

Wait!

'System, what's going on? Are you taking a cut as a middleman?'

[The ability produced by the Weakling Deprivation Technique is absorbed at a rate of 1% ~ 100% depending on the host's compatibility, with the remainder used to evolve the Soul Bone Age!]

—This "produced" is used very cleverly.

'I see.'

'My bad, sorry.'

The System didn't respond, seemingly not caring about this.

"You, what are you doing?!" Xiao Wu exclaimed, lowering her voice: "My child! You ate my child?!"

[Emotion Points + 29999]

Good heavens!

Producing in front of Tang San didn't even generate this many Emotion Points.

It's clearly not a living thing, why are you so nervous?

Maternal love is truly great.

"What are you thinking?"

Zhuge Lan shrugged—

"My Weakling Deprivation Technique is used in conjunction with the Strongest Appraisal Technique."

"It can only extract energy to evolve my External Soul Bone."

"How could I really let you give birth to a child?"

[Emotion Points + 11111]

Xiao Wu calmed down, her rabbit ears drooping.

So it's just.

Just like that?

She thought...

She shook her head violently, what was she thinking!

Now.

What to do?

The process was too stimulating, and it even broke her body.

Although it wasn't that kind of breaking, Xiao Wu still felt like she had betrayed Tang San.

[Emotion Points + 25555]

But life must go on.

"Can you tell me what happened before this?"

She chose to change the subject.

Zhuge Lan looked at the Emotion Points constantly floating above Xiao Wu's head.

And didn't care.

As long as she gives Emotion Points, it doesn't matter what we talk about.

He briefly recounted what happened.

As for the Eight Spider Lances?

Did that thing even exist?

[Emotion Points + 11111]

[Emotion Points + 8888]

[Emotion Points + 9999]

Xiao Wu looked at Zhuge Lan in shock, Emotion Points popping up above her head.

The Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the Gai Shi Dragon Snake could contend against a Title Douluo.

Zhuge Lan could still repel them?

Judging by his tone.

He was still using a relatively inferior fixed-mounted Soul Guidance Cannon?

Then...

If she hadn't stopped him at the time, Er Ming might have really died!

[Emotion Points + 11111]

Finally.

All the emotions converged into.

Zhuge Lan raised his hand to stop her!

"Don't bother saying thank you, I came here willingly."

"I wanted to hunt a 100,000-year Soul Beast to fill the vacancy in my Soul Bone."

"Consider it lucky that it ran fast enough."

[Emotion Points + 19999]

He really came for Er Ming!

For a moment.

Gratitude, recognition, disgust, relief.

All surged into her heart, making Xiao Wu's emotions extremely complex.

All of it turned into Emotion Points, frantically popping out.

Zhuge Lan was so happy that he couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth.

"I'll go over there to keep watch, you guard Little San."

He ran to the side to laugh to himself.

Xiao Wu also walked to Tang San's side, quietly guarding him.

But her eyes kept drifting towards Zhuge Lan.

The experience just now.

She would never forget it in this lifetime.

After all, it was absorbing across ranks.

Even with the blessing of Twin Martial Souls, it was still fraught with danger.

Fine blood-colored sweat even flowed from the surface of his body, which was caused by the rupture of capillaries.

But with the obsession to "save Xiao Wu".

Tang San spent more than an hour, gritting his teeth and gradually grinding it down, and really absorbed this 2000-year Soul Ring.

Turning into a purple Soul Ring, obediently placed on the Blue Silver Grass.

As soon as Tang San opened his eyes.

He saw Xiao Wu rushing towards him.

He thought it was a dream, but still subconsciously opened his arms to hug her.

But he really felt the touch.

He was stunned.

"Xiao Wu? It's really you!" Tang San said with great joy: "That's great."

Before Tang San could finish speaking, he fell into Xiao Wu's arms.

—Zhuge Lan seriously suspected that this little brat deliberately fell towards Xiao Wu.

"Brother?" Xiao Wu exclaimed: "Brother, what's wrong? Zhuge! Quick, heal my brother!"

Zhuge Lan raised his hand.

"I bless you!"

"Ah~"

[Emotion Points + 4444]

Xiao Wu groaned softly, glaring at Zhuge Lan!

"You're not healing me!"

"You're healing my brother!"

"Bastard!"

Zhuge Lan waved his hand indifferently.

"It's just to calm you down."

"Tang San rushed all night, and fought the Man-Faced Demon Spider until he was exhausted. In order to recover as soon as possible to find you, he even absorbed a 2000-year Soul Ring across ranks."

"Although his body has been healed by me, his spirit was already on the verge of collapse."

"Suddenly seeing you return safely, his tense nerves relaxed, and he must have fainted."

"What he needs most now is a good rest."

After speaking, Zhuge Lan yawned loudly.

"Let's go back quickly."

"If there are no accidents, Teacher Zhao and the others should still be waiting for us at the camp."

[Emotion Points + 9999]

The anger in Xiao Wu's eyes dissipated, turning into gratitude and guilt.

She just realized.

—Zhuge Lan actually came too?

It's understandable that Little San's feelings for her made him rush in regardless of everything.

But why Zhuge Lan?

They had only known each other for a few days, and there were constant frictions, so there wasn't much friendship.

Speaking of which...

Zhuge Lan had the ability to seriously injure or even kill Er Ming at the time.

It was because of her interference that there was this series of events afterwards.

In the whole thing, Zhuge Lan had already done his best as a teammate.

—Even letting her "produce an egg" was to protect Little San while he absorbed the Soul Ring.

[Emotion Points + 15555]

"I didn't want to become like this either." Xiao Wu said with a sob: "This matter is my fault."

Zhuge Lan waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Xiao Wu's self-confession.

"Why say so much, let's go back quickly."

"It's almost noon, and I'm so sleepy that my eyelids are fighting."

Saying that.

He directly picked up the two of them by the back of their collars and dashed towards the direction they came from at lightning speed.

It seemed to be magnanimous.

But in reality...
