the next day.
Ning Xiaotian got up early, but instead of rushing back to the Tiandou Empire, he asked the guards to buy a carriage in the town, and then leisurely led Dugu Yan and got in with Dugu Bo.
After leaving the town and walking to a remote place, Dugubo got out of the carriage without making a sound.
The journey home was far away, and Ning Xiaotian was not idle either. He spent most of his time in the carriage practicing with Dugu Yan. Occasionally he would stick his head out to look at the scenery along the way. In the early spring, the trees were only in green leaves, and there were no green leaves. A lush scene of flowers.
Some were just yellow and cold everywhere. Every time the two of them glanced at it, they retracted their heads back to the carriage in disappointment.
My wife is still pretty... Ning Xiaotian sighed, only the tenderness in his hands could make this boring journey home a little more interesting.
...
Since they were not in a hurry, it was already a new day when everyone rushed back to the sect.
He asked the guards to report the situation to Ning Fengzhi, while Ning Xiaotian took Dugu Yan back to his room to rest and reorganize. The carriage was bumpy and they didn't sleep well last night.
Two hours later, Ning Xiaotian woke up faintly, raised his head and glanced at the skylight, then lowered his head and shook Dugu Yan hanging on his waist.
It was noon, so they could go to their mother's place to have some food.
...
"Hey! Huh..." Before reaching the courtyard gate, Ning Xiaotian heard a crisp shout from the courtyard, which was his sister's voice.
The door was open, Ning Xiaotian pulled Dugu Yan and stepped in directly. What caught his eyes was Ning Rongrong, who was striding and doing bastard fists. Her chubby oval face was rosy, her small mouth was full and moist, and she was humming. He screamed and shouted, very hard.
Next to her is Zhang Fanghua, who is leaning lazily on a chair. She is dressed in red. Her green-green hands are holding melon kernels and feeding them into the sandalwood mouth. Her lips are red and her teeth are white. Her figure is graceful and her gestures are charming.
"Rongrong, what are you doing?" Ning Xiaotian let go of Duguyan's jade hand and walked towards the little one with his head held high.
"Mom!" Dugu Yan trotted up to Zhang Fanghua and bowed in salute, her voice as clear as a warbler's cry.
"Hey! Good boy..." Zhang Fanghua's beautiful oval face instantly bloomed, charming and moving.
He waved to Dugu Yan and motioned for her to sit down, then curled his lips, rolled his eyes at Ning Xiaotian, and said, "Unlike someone who doesn't know how to feel sorry for me at all..."
"Brother, I'm practicing boxing!" The little boy looked very serious, glanced at Ning Xiaotian, and went back to boxing.
"Not bad!" Ning Xiaotian spoke highly of it.
"No, mom said I'm so powerful now!" The little boy put away his fists and feet, raised his head and put his hands on his hips, looking very arrogant.
"Oh, really?" Ning Xiaotian raised his sword eyebrows, walked up to the little boy, put his right hand on the little head, and said in an old-fashioned way: "Come on! Beat me until my brother gets candy!"
"Do you have any candy?" The little boy raised his head and looked at Ning Xiaotian with his big bright eyes.
"Well..." Ning Xiaotian nodded solemnly.
"Brother, look at me!" The little boy immediately waved his fist towards Ning Xiaotian, pushing his legs forward like a plow, as if he was withstanding huge pressure.
Why can't I hit it?
The little boy was so anxious that he turned his fists into fans and shouted "Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi," to cheer himself up.
"Ning...xiao...tian!"
There was murderous intent... Ning Xiaotian's scalp suddenly felt cold, he shrank his neck, and subconsciously let go of his hand.
"Pfft!"
The little boy stumbled and bumped into Ning Xiaotian's thigh, hugging her tightly and not letting go.
"Brother, I hit it! Where's the candy?" She raised her head, with a small red spot on her forehead and tears in her eyes.
"Here..." Ning Xiaotian quickly took out the candy from the soul guide and handed it to the little one.
The little one became happy, quickly released his hand and took the candy.
Ning Xiaotian bowed and pulled her up, patted the dust, held her in his arms with one hand, and carefully rubbed the red spot on her forehead.
The little boy frowned, and then started to eat the candy heartlessly.
"Look at you hitting Rongrong..." Zhang Fanghua walked over and glanced at Ning Xiaotian angrily.
After saying that, he raised his eyebrows at the little one again and said sadly: "You stinky girl is the same, you are so heartless and so stupid!"
"Mom, why did you teach Rongrong to practice boxing?" Ning Xiaotian changed the subject.
"This little one is very naughty. Teach her something to help her stop being noisy..." As she said that, Zhang Fanghua picked up the little one in her arms, shook her head, and said, "Besides, Rongrong is also 3 years old. It's time to give her some advice." Prepare for the awakening of the martial soul."
"It's also good for her to practice boxing and stretch her muscles. It's been cold lately and it can also warm her body up!"
"That's right!" Ning Xiaotian nodded, thinking of Ning Rongrong's serious look just now, it was better to give in, rather than forcing him to cry and make trouble.
EMM... Ning Xiaotian narrowed his eyes, turned to look at the little one, and said: "Rongrong, practice hard, and you can beat all the invincible opponents in the world in the future!"
"Invincible?" The little one tilted his head, "Can I eat it?"
"No!" Ning Xiaotian said.
"Oh!" The little boy's eyes dimmed, a little disappointed.
"But you can eat whatever you want. There are a lot of delicious foods..." Ning Xiaotian changed his mind and said solemnly.
"Really?" The little boy's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth were sparkling.
"Well..." Ning Xiaotian nodded meaningfully. He was looking forward to seeing the Invincible Iron Fist version of Ning Rongrong.
"Tian'er, why do you want to come to my place?" Zhang Fanghua looked at his young daughter who was full of fighting spirit and said with a smile: "Aren't you working on boxing skills recently?"
I'm here for a meal... Ning Xiaotian smiled with a smile on his face and said seriously: "Didn't my kid just come back from the Star Forest? I'm here to tell you the good news!"
"Really?" Zhang Fanghua looked suspicious and said, "Tell me about your second soul ring and soul skills..."
"It smells so good..." The little girl twitched her nose, tilted her head and looked at the maids who were filing out from the back of the courtyard carrying meals. She chirped and said, "Mom, can we have lunch?"
"..."
"Ha, you came just in time!" Zhang Fanghua glanced at Ning Xiaotian with disdain.
I'm afraid our brother and sister are not in conflict with each other... Ning Xiaotian glanced at the little one with a resentful look and said, "Mom, actually, the child is here to discuss with you about a spring outing."
"Travel?" Zhang Fanghua's eyes lit up. She hadn't been out for a long time.
"Yes." Ning Xiaotian nodded and said, "Spring has arrived, and in a few days it will be a good day for spring flowers to bloom. I think our family can take this opportunity to go out for a walk and see the scenery outside."
"This is a good suggestion!" Zhang Fanghua glanced at Ning Xiaotian with approval and said excitedly: "I'll mention it to your dad tonight and let's pick a good day."
"It is said that April is the most beautiful day in the world. I think it is most suitable for us to go for a spring outing at the end of March. That is when the peach blossoms are in full bloom and the grass and trees are about to turn green. The scenery must be very charming." Ning Xiaotian pondered for a moment and suggested.
"Yes, yes... come, let's eat first! Let's discuss where to go..." Zhang Fanghua said happily.
"Well, okay!" Ning Xiaotian nodded and pulled Dugu Yan to sit down.
For a while, it was enjoyable.
...
After having enough tea and food, and talking in detail about the spring outing, Ning Xiaotian dragged his tired body back to the house with Dugu Yan.
Opening the door, Dugu Bo has been sitting and waiting for a long time.
The woman was indeed tireless in conversation, and could talk for more than half an hour during the meal... Looking at Dugu Bo sitting in his seat, Ning Xiaotian could only apologize: "Grandpa Dugu, I kept you waiting for so long! "
"It doesn't matter, I just came back from dinner!" Dugu Bo waved his hand and said: "It was also a return trip at that time, but it was a good way. After I killed him and took the soul bone, I returned to the Tiandou Empire and slept well. Sleep."
As he said that, he took out a skull-shaped soul bone from the soul guide. The surface of the bone was smooth and flat, and there was a huge pentagonal gem embedded in the center, which was shining with pink light.
"Here, go on!" Before Ning Xiaotian could answer, Dugu Bo threw the soul bone over.
This gem is much larger than the one on his left arm bone... Ning Xiaotian took the soul bone, looked at it, and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Dugu!"
"Tian'er, judging from the fluctuations in the soul power on this soul bone, it should be 20,000 years old. Are you ready to absorb this soul bone?" Dugubo nodded slightly and said.
"Well, yes!" Ning Xiaotian nodded and said, "If I guess correctly, this soul bone should provide me with a group auxiliary skill that is more like an illusion."
Judging from the skill "Illusion Space" obtained by Ning Rongrong in the original work, the skills produced by this soul bone are more of the illusion type. And it should have been dropped by hunting soul beasts when breaking through the Soul Emperor in that year, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence that it is a gem type and it happens to produce illusion type skills.
"Illusion type?" Dugu Bo was stunned and said, "Tian'er, are you sure it's suitable for you?"
PS: Spring outing, fantasy type, target Tang San, fellow Taoists can use their imagination as much as they want!
