Chapter 16: chapter 16 the bond between ning rongrong and Jun Tianlin(2)
A month had passed since the last incident and by now Ning Rongrong had mostly adjusted to her new schedules.
And For Jun Tianlin who had gone through nine years of compulsory education dealing with the little girl Ning Rongrong was a breeze.
In the beginning she would still be a little lazy. At that time Tianlin implemented a punishment system which shortened her vacation time to make up for the time she had been lazy This made Ning Rongrong so miserable and she would often be sad every day.
And except for the limited time for eating,sleeping and having fun, all she had to focus was practicing And At this point Tianlin switched gears and started implementing a reward system.
"If you practice seriously today and you get an extra meal in the evening and time to play"
"If you make good progress you can go home early in the afternoon."
"If you don't slack off for several days in a row you get an extra day off this week."
Under the allure of various rewards Ning Rongrong's enthusiasm for practicing grew significantly The rewards Jun Tianlin reward to her were always different keeping things fresh and exciting.
Over time Ning Rongrong's nickname for Tianlin changed from "nuisance" to "brother" but she insisted on adding the word "sword" before it Jun Tianlin objected several times but she rejected it.
In her words the Sword Douluo who used a sword was Grandpa sword so Jun Tianlin who also used a sword must logically be "Brother sword." Tianlin couldn't refute her reasoning.
In truth Ning Rongrong did this entirely on purpose She knew Tianlin disliked the title and that made it all the more fun for her to use it After all the first rule of the "witch's code" is that the more someone dislikes something the more she to do it.
Did you really think this little witch would forget such a small favor? This was her revenge on Jun Tianlin.
Thanks to her relentless meditation over the month Ning Rongrong's soul power had successfully finally reached level ten and After hunting for a soul ring she reached the standard of nearly level twelve.
Her first soul skill was the same as before a power enhancing skill.
During this time Ning Fengzhi visited secretly visited several times and noticed that not only had the two children stopped fighting but their relationship had improved significantly and more importantly Ning Rongrong who had once been neglectful of her cultivation had become diligent and he couldn't help but feel that his decision had been wise.
One night Jun Tianlin had taken a shower and entered a meditative state early.
At that moment Ning Rongrong excitedly opened the door and ran in "Brother sword I've finally reached the first level of heart separation method the Three Aperature Governing Heart so What's my reward?"
But there was no reply from Jun Tianlin He was deep in meditation fully immersed in his soul power.
"What? You've already entered deep meditation this early?" Ning Rongrong seemed shocked and a little disheartened.
She sat down next to Jun Tianlin looking at his face and smiling "Although Brother sword is a nuisance but you're really good-looking!"
"Forget it I'll just practice with you today!"
With that Ning Rongrong sat cross-legged beside Jun Tianlin and entered a meditative state.
In the early morning the next day as the sun rose Ning Rongrong was the first to wake up from meditation and She felt the soul power in her body surge.
Last night her soul power had increased much more than usual.
When Jun Tianlin opened his eyes and he saw Ning Rongrong staring at him with burning eyes. "Rongrong why did you come to my room so early today?"
"It's not that I came early I've been here since last night! Brother sword are you hiding something from me? Why is my soul power cultivation progressing so much faster than normal?" Ning Rongrong stared closely at him as though trying to read his thoughts.
Tianlin suddenly realized something was wrong He had been exposed Uncle Ning had repeatedly warned him not to tell anyone about the Holy Breath Barrier and now he was regretting his lapse in caution He hadn't thought to be wary since they were in the clan but Ning Rongrong had snuck up on him.
If this were outside he would never have entered such a deep meditation state.
Tianlin scrambled for an excuse but Ning Rongrong had been following him closely lately and had become much sharper and She immediately said, "Brother sword don't lie to me Your eyes are moving around I know you're thinking up an excuse."
Tianlin was stunned When had she gotten so perceptive? But the matter of his twin martial souls was a secret he couldn't reveal not even to her. If Ning Rongrong found out her publicity-loving nature would mean she'd spread the word to everyone Soon the entire seven treasure glazed tile clan would know and then the whole heaven dou Empire would hear the news.
Desperate Jun Tianlin resorted to a small lie He told her that he had a gem-like soul bone in his body which Ning Fengzhi had given him and The soul bone wasn't offensive but could reduce the energy of the enemy and accelerate the cultivation of auxiliary type martial spirit users.
Ning Rongrong believed him without hesitation After all she had heard of rare soul bones but had never seen one in person.
Jun Tianlin's reasoning for telling her this was simple he wanted Ning Rongrong to keep it a secret and Soul bones were an extremely sensitive topic in the soul master world especially a soul bone that could accelerate the cultivation of others The implications were immense.
Ning Rongrong immediately promised she wouldn't tell anyone.
In truth she didn't want to tell anyone After all if she revealed this privilege then people would swarm to Jun Tianlin to train and she wouldn't get to enjoy it alone.
So that day Ning Rongrong moved all her clothes and bedding into Jun Tianlin's room and From then on it was officially her room as well.
The cultivation speed here was much faster and it would be foolish not to take advantage of such a huge boon.
Jun Tianlin smiled helplessly Tang San had shared a room with Xiao Wu since they were children and somehow managed to deceive her He hadn't expected it would be his turn today.
Moreover the one in Tang San's case was a hundred-thousand-year-old bunny spirit ancient enough to be his great-great-great-grandmother It wasn't clear who had deceived whom But in Jun Tianlin's case his 'victim' was a down-to-earth little loli...
Jun Tianlin couldn't help but wonder what would happen in three years and the maximum penalty for such things could be death.
"Hey!"
But when he saw Ning Rongrong obediently making the bed and smiling sweetly he realized that after three years of hard work the death penalty might not be a bad outcome after all.
Later Jun Tianlin went to see Ning Fengzhi and spoke with him about the situation He requested that if Ning Rongrong ever asked why she hadn't received a soul bone like his he could reveal the secret without realizing it.
Jun Tianlin also came up with an excuse. He explained that this soul bone could only amplify the abilities of others, not the person who possessed it It had been given to him specifically so that he could use it to help Ning Rongrong with her cultivation This was all done out of affection for her.
So the innocent little loli had clearly been set up by these two men.
However Ning Fengzhi felt this was a good idea and Allowing Ning Rongrong to benefit from the martial spirit effects in advance is a bit of indulgent but as a father it was only natural he would want to favor his daughter.
