Chapter 65 Help Me Clean Up
"After all, it would take you a lot of effort to condense an ice crystal like this that is stable and won't melt, right?"

Hearing his concerns, Mu Jing shook her head slightly.

"There is no need to worry about the core raw materials. I can create this kind of crystal stone at any time. It doesn't consume much soul power."

"If you have a well-made carving knife, you should be able to use it for practice."

As she spoke, Mu Jing urged a fist-sized ice crystal to condense in the palm of her hand and carefully placed it on the stand on the table.

Looking at this scene, Xue Jieming opened his eyes wide in surprise. He didn't expect that he could condense an ice crystal of such purity so easily.

At this moment, he suddenly envied the soul masters who possessed elemental abilities. They were self-sufficient and did not need to spend money to buy soul stones...

"Jing, if you become a mineral supplier, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

After Xue Jieming made a joke, his expression became serious and he took out an extremely luxurious carving knife from his storage ring.

"Of course we have a carving knife. This is a carving knife that the three of us pooled our money to make. The blade is made of an alloy of crystal steel and silver, so that we can carve harder materials one day."

Hearing this, Mu Jing smiled and said, "That's easy. Seniors, you can practice with this ice crystal first. When I carve a higher level soul guide core, I will ask you to assemble it."

"Wait, you can carve higher..." Xue Jieming was choked by his words again.

"Ahahaha, here come the materials!"

But at this moment, Hadas came up happily with the soul-guided ice gun he had just made.

"To be honest, this time it is definitely precious metal! I also applied a very thick layer of anti-cold paint on the inner layer, so there will definitely not be the situation like that just now... uh, freezing the chest."

Hearing this, Xue Jieming nodded, took the ice gun, and fired another shot at the test target.

They were extremely satisfied with the result this time. Not only was the power greater than the first time, but there was no sign of freezing at the barrel.

"Tsk, this thing is so powerful no matter how many times I see it! Brother Xuan Jing, your core material... uh."

Hadas was about to ask something, but when he saw the fist-sized ice crystals on the table, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"What a good thing! Jieming, bring the carving knife here. I want to study it carefully!"

He quietly cut off a small piece, then took it away and did something else, without even listening to a word Mu Jing and Xue Jieming said.

"In that case, I will also start carving, and try to carve a fourth-level soul guide core before noon."

Mu Jing smiled slightly, then sat aside and started carving, leaving Xue Jieming alone to continue experimenting with the Soul Guided Ice Gun and recording various data.

……

In this quiet atmosphere, time passed quickly, and soon it was noon. After the servants of the academy put the cart loaded with delicacies at the door, they leaned over to bow and say goodbye.

Xue Jieming and the others didn't seem to be hungry, and they didn't even raise their eyes. Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, jumped up happily from her seat, picked up the food and ran towards Mu Jing.

"Xiao Jing, they brought cakes, are you hungry?"

Hearing this, Mu Jing put down the work at hand. As soon as she looked up, she saw Ning Rongrong handing her the largest piece of cake.

He wasn't hungry at first, but seeing that Ning Rongrong took the initiative to offer him food, he smiled and prepared to take it.

"Hey~"

Seeing that he was about to take it, Ning Rongrong immediately pulled her hand back and looked at him sincerely.

"Xiao Jing, don't take it if your hands are dirty. I'll feed it to you!"

"No need, I can wash my hands..." Mu Jing said subconsciously.

"No, then my hands would have been washed in vain!" Ning Rongrong puffed out her cheeks, then grabbed the cake and put it to his mouth with a smile.

"Eat! I'll feed you and you can continue with what you are doing!" Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Mu Jing had no choice but to open her mouth and take a small bite of the cake.

However, the cake tasted pretty good.

Mu Jing thought so in her heart while chewing, but she didn't notice that Ning Rongrong's little face had turned red. She looked at his profile with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Hadas, who was sitting opposite, saw the whole scene, but he just continued with what he was doing and did not make any other moves.

But he had a question in his mind, why didn't you two use forks?
But soon, the question had an answer, and after a brief contemplation, he chose to pull down the microscope glasses so that he would not be bothered by it.

"Gulp...Thank you Rongrong."

When Mu Jing took the last bite, she looked at Ning Rongrong and nodded to express her gratitude.

When Ning Rongrong saw his look, she couldn't help but laugh secretly, then she reached out and touched the corner of his lips, causing Mu Jing to blink in confusion.

"There's one more thing, Xiaojing, don't waste it!"

Looking at her expectant and shy expression, and the fingers smeared with butter that were stretched to her lips, even Mu Jing, who had just carved a fourth-level soul guide core, reacted.

Suddenly, he tilted his head slightly and said, "You don't need to eat it now. Just wipe it off with a tissue."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong pouted and said coquettishly, "Eat it, it's just the last bite, Xiaojing, help me clean it up!"

As she spoke, her little hand moved closer, almost touching his lips.

Seeing her actions, Mu Jing leaned back slightly, with hesitation in her eyes.

"Rongrong, it's almost done, this won't do..."

Seeing that he clearly wanted to eat but was hesitant, Ning Rongrong suddenly felt a little unhappy.

Then, she withdrew her hand in a huff, put the buttery finger into her mouth and sucked it clean, then sat next to him, raised her hand to support her head, and bent her fingers without saying a word.

Seeing her like this, Mu Jing sighed with amusement, "Rongrong, please don't be angry, okay?"

"Humph, I'm not angry, I just feel bad about my young age!"

Ning Rongrong looked at him seriously, "Xiao Jing, if Sister Yanyan did this to you, you would definitely eat it without even thinking about it, right?"

"How could that be..." Mu Jing said in a low voice.

"Yes!" Ning Rongrong nodded affirmatively, then gently took his hand, "Xiao Jing, our ages are not much different, please don't treat me like a child who knows nothing, okay?"

"You are only two years older than me. When we are adults, this age difference is just right for getting engaged!"

"So, can you please be more affectionate with me and stop touching my head all the time? I won't grow taller..."

Hearing her words, Mu Jing glanced at the people who were eavesdropping, and suddenly stood up helplessly, holding her little head in her arms from behind.

"Rongrong, be good! You also said that this is something that will happen after you become an adult, so you are still a child now!"

"Is this so..."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong tapped her chin with her finger, then raised her head with a smile, "Then Xiaojing, when I grow up, you are not allowed to touch my head, okay?"

"Of course, I'll listen to Rongrong." Seeing her compromise, Mu Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ahem, Brother Xuan Jing, how is the engraving of the soul guide core going?"

At this moment, seeing that the time was almost right, Hadas coughed twice and asked.
