--- Chapter 72 ---

'I Am Not Useless!!' Greed furiously shouted.

'Then, tell me, what is your next form?' Yunlong asked while flicking the black sword, which made Greed quiet again.

'Whatever, I just have to reach the counter limit to see your next form.' He continued while shrugging off his shoulder and looking at the black spirit ring, which flew up from the spider's body.

'I'm not useless...' Greed's dejected voice echoed in his mind, but Yunlong ignored it as his sister landed beside him.

"You have killed it. Isn't this too easy?" Qian Renxue said while looking at Yunlong, who was slightly smiling at her.

"Well, somehow, I was able to kill it." Yunlong calmly replied.

"What about the swallowing force and weakening ability? Don't tell me it doesn't work on you?" Qian Renxue asked because she certainly feels her body got weakened after the string sucked her spirit energy.

"Uh, about that. Like you said, It didn't work on me." Yunlong answered while letting out an awkward laugh, which made Qian Renxue's mouth twitched in irritation.

"Big sister?" He looked at Qian Renxue, who was ready to hit him on the head.

"Let me hit you once, just once." Qian Renxue suddenly stated while menacingly staring at him.

"One pudding...!" Yunlong calmly responded, which made Qian Renxue pause her steps.

"..." Qian Renxue quietly stared at him.

"Deal." She said while reaching Yunlong's hand, making him chuckle a little before he shook her hand.

"I will give it later. Let me absorb this spirit ring first," Yunlong said while shifting his gaze at the black spirit ring, which quietly hovered in the air.

Qian Renxue nodded her head as she calmly observed Yunlong, who is walking toward the ten thousand years old spirit ring and starts to absorb it.

Yunlong waited for a few seconds and heard no notification about gluttony, so he decided to absorb the spirit ring by himself.

He brought out the golden-threaded handkerchief and skillfully dragged the black spirit ring onto it. 'If I keep my progress like this, my sixth or seventh spirit rings probably would be red spirit rings.' He thought.

'My fourth spirit ring,' Yunlong sat cross-legged on the ground and started to enter deep meditation as the black spirit ring slowly merged into his martial soul.

He appeared in a white world, where a familiar giant spider, which he just killed, firmly stood in front of him.

'Oh, we met again.' Yunlong said to provoke the spider, who has launched its giant body at him.

'I think you don't know the rules of this place. This place is my spiritual sea... So I'm the ruler here!' He coldly declared while activating his sharingan and trapped the spider's remaining consciousness in the endless illusion.

--- One Hour Later ---

Yunlong opened his eyes, and four spirit rings were floating behind his back.

"In just one hour, he successfully absorbed a ten thousand years old spirit ring..." Qian Renxue softly muttered while looking at Yunlong's ridiculous spirit ring configuration.

'My fourth spirit ring is 9,000 years old but compared to Yunlong. We simply are on a different level.' She shook her head and decided not to overthink it.

Qian Renxue walked toward her brother, who calmly breathed and shifted his gaze to her. "Thanks for watching over me," Yunlong said.

"H-Hmph, To begin with, I don't have a choice... I need my pudding." Qian Renxue replied, which made Yunlong laugh on the inside.

"You're thinking funny about me again, aren't you?" She suddenly said, to which Yunlong immediately denied with a shake of his head.

"I don't know what you are talking about," Yunlong quietly replied.

'For real, a woman's instinct is no joke.' He thought while looking at his sister.

"By the way, here is the pudding." He changed the mood by handing out a pudding to her.

"Finally." Qian Renxue swiftly took the pudding from his hand with brightened eyes.

'At least, she's happy.' Yunlong thought while shaking his head.

He raised his gaze at the skies and found that it was almost sunset.

He looked at the volcano and thought about his maids, 'They should've rested by now.' He added.

"Big sister, let's go back to the cottage first," Yunlong said while shifting his gaze back to Qian Renxue, who nodded her head at him.

After taking the spider corpse, they went back to the cottage and found the three maids under a shady tree with a relaxed expression on their faces.

"How is the training?" Yunlong asked them.

"It's okay..." Chu Xiaoyu quietly responded as she was already used to hard training, especially the one given by her master.

"I have adjusted myself." Yu Ning'er calmly answered, even though Yunlong could see that her legs were trembling.

"What about you, Bai Xue?" Yunlong shifted his gaze to the newest maid, who was too tired to reply to his question.

'It's just only one week, and she is already in this state. She would need a few months to get used to the training.' He thought while taking out a few sweet recovery pills, which could recover someone's stamina.

He handed the pills to his maids, "Those pills would make you feel a lot better, but remember to only take one at times." He said with a smile on his face.

He shook his head a little and shoved the sweet recovery pill into Bai Xue's mouth.

"Mmp-! Who!" Bai Xue woke up from her tiredness and tasted something sweet in her mouth.

"Also, be ready as we would go on a journey to the star luo empire tomorrow morning," Yunlong stated, to which his maids responded with a nod.

Yunlong and Qian Renxue went into the cottage, and Bai Xue stared at them with a frown. "Are they always that close?" Bai Xue asked.

"Hmm, I was also curious about that." Yu Ning'er said with a pondering expression on her face.

"They were close..." Chu Xiaoyu silently answered while remembering Yunlong and Renxue relationship in these two years.

"Can you be more, you know, specific?" Yu Ning'er asked the quiet girl.

Chu Xiaoyu frowned for a moment when she heard her question "They were very close." She confidently answered.

"Huh? What does that even mean!" Yu Ning'er said with a confused tone.

Bai Xue also doesn't understand what Xiaoyu is talking about, but the quiet maid only stares at them.

"I'm going to rest..." Chu Xiaoyu suddenly walked away from them.

"Hey, do you understand what she is talking about?" Yu Ning'er asked Bai Xue, who shook her head at her.

"My name is not 'Hey.' but I also don't understand." Bai Xue answered while intently staring at her.

They stared at each other for a moment and sighed.

"They were confusing." They said at the same time, which made them quiet for some reason.

"By the way, young master or young lady can't hear us, right?" Bai Xue suddenly asked, to which Yu Ning'er responded with a shake of her head.

"I don't know..." Yu Ning'er quietly replied.

'I can hear you two, very clearly.' Yunlong's voice suddenly entered their mind, which made them yelped in panic.

Yunlong used his newly gained skill [Telepathy], a Greed's skill, and passively given to him. He only wants to do a test run, but to his surprise, he can eavesdrop on his maid's talk.

"We are sorry!" Yu Ning'er and Bai Xue bowed their bodies.

'Just go rest. We have a long journey tomorrow.' Yunlong sighed while peeking through the window, where he could see Yu Ning'er and Bai Xue hurriedly moved to their room.

"Y-Yunlong." Qian Renxue said while peeking through a door.

"Hmm? Do you need something, big sister?" Yunlong asked while shifting his gaze to the door.

"Um, Can we sleep together tonight?" Qian Renxue suggested with a hopeful tone.

"D-Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to sleep alone tonight-." She added, which made Yunlong chuckle on the inside.

"Okay," Yunlong answered with a smile on his face.

"I see, you don't- Wait, you agree." Qian Renxue opened the door and revealed herself in a bathrobe.

"Sure, I don't have a problem with that," Yunlong said while staring at her, which made her realize her clothing condition. She immediately blushed and ran away from the room.

"Sleeping together, huh." Yunlong glanced at the window and saw the beautiful sunset.
