Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden, Hu Liena

"Qian Ran, is your name Qian Ran? Wake up, wake up!"

My own face flashed in my dream—no, it should be Ning Rongrong's face. In the blur, she was calling my name, her expression so anxious.

But didn't the real Ning Rongrong disappear long ago?

Shouldn't he be the one controlling her body?

Why?

She wasn't given any more time to think.

Then the screen flashed, and many more people appeared in front of him.

In his dazed state, he recalled Tang Hao, whom he had just fought. "A mere Soul King, you are so easily defeated, what makes you dare to be my enemy?"

What's the meaning?

Did I lose?

Did the final Ten Treasures Soul-Seeking Slash miss?

Ma Hongjun, who was unable to cultivate due to his own severe injuries, chuckled, "Heh heh, you have no ability to retaliate right now. Let's see how I..."

No, don't!

Ma Hongjun is getting closer to him.

Dai Mubai, who could no longer approach women, said, "I've said it before, the Douluo Continent has never lacked geniuses. Although you are stronger than me, you are also more arrogant. See? Now this is the price you pay for being too arrogant. Your fate is even worse than mine, hahaha..."

The figures of Flender, Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang, and others flashed by.

Finally, Zhu Zhuqing stood before him, contrary to what he usually did. "Rongrong, you... no, who are you? Why did you deceive my feelings? Why did you hide your identity?"

No.

Zhu Zhuqing, let me explain...

In the darkness, Ning Rongrong stared blankly at the microcosms of everyone she had ever met in her life, yet they all seemed like completely different people.

Those who were once afraid of me are now mercilessly mocking me, while those who once liked me have now turned their backs on me.

Did I really die because I couldn't defeat Tang Hao?

Even if you're already in hell, must you still endure the mockery and indifference that only come after your failure?

This world is truly desolate.

The winner is king, the loser is a bandit...

Now that I'm the loser, is it all over?

"Wake up, wake up!"

What exactly happened here?

"Why is this little girl sleeping by the roadside? Isn't she afraid of any danger?"

"You're the only one who looks dangerous, Yan. You should stay away from this girl."

"No, Nana, I'm so handsome, it's fine if you don't like me, but there's no need to insult me, is there?"

Amidst the noise, Ning Rongrong was awakened.

The first thing that catches the eye is three young men and women who look a few years older than themselves.

There were two men and one woman in total.

They were all dressed in extremely gorgeous clothes, with the Spirit Hall's emblem on their chests.

Secondly, there was the empty scene within a kilometer radius, completely shattered. As for Tang Hao, who had been fighting him, he was nowhere to be seen.

"So it was all a dream."

Ning Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief, ignoring the three people in front of her, and instead stood up and looked around.

Sure enough, apart from the large amount of blood and mess on the ground, there was no trace of Tang Hao.

It seems Tang Hao has slipped away.

"Are you looking for someone? We've already scouted the area; there's no one else in this vast area besides you and the three of us."

The only girl among the three said to Ning Rongrong with a grin, "If I'm not mistaken, there must have been a battle between two powerful individuals here just now, and you probably fainted because of the effects of their fight."

Ning Rongrong turned her head suspiciously and looked at the girl.

Her eyes were clear yet alluring, her face beautiful, with a straight nose, cherry-like lips, and a devilish figure.

Although she is not as endearing as Zhu Zhuqing, she possesses a unique mature beauty.

"From the Spirit Hall?" Ning Rongrong asked skeptically.

"Ah? Yes... yes." The girl paused for a moment, then introduced herself, "My Hu Liena, and the person next to me with long silver hair and a slightly cold demeanor is my brother, Xie Yue. And the other one is Yan."

"No... Nana, could you please make this introduction a little simpler?"

The boy, nicknamed Yan, had short, fiery red hair and wore fiery red clothes, which made him look quite imposing.

Xie Yue was dressed in gray and white.

These three characters are present in the original novel, so Ning Rongrong wasn't surprised.

But why did we run into these three people here?

In other words, why did the Spirit Hall suddenly appear near Suotuo City?

These scenes weren't in the original story.

"Forget it, there's no scene in the original story where Tang Hao causes me trouble. Let him do whatever he wants. I'll just deal with whatever comes my way."

After a brief moment of thought, Ning Rongrong muttered something to herself and decided to stop worrying about it.

If everything had followed the original story, she would never have appeared in the Douluo Continent.

"Ning Rongrong."

Ning Rongrong gave a brief self-introduction.

"Ning Rongrong?" Hu Liena blinked her beautiful eyes. "The sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also has the surname Ning. Do you have some connection with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"No, Nana, there are plenty of people in this world with the surname Ning, not just from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. You're overthinking it. If you ask me, it's just..."

"Um."

Ning Rongrong interrupted Yan and replied calmly.

Unlike Tang Hao, who was being hunted down by the Spirit Hall, there was nothing wrong with revealing her true identity.

"Oh, this..."

Yan scratched his head sheepishly, "Nana is so smart."

"Tch!" Hu Liena glared at Yan with annoyance, then continued to ask Ning Rongrong, "But why are you alone in a place like this? Where are your sect members?"

"..."

I looked around again.

After confirming that Tang Hao was not hiding nearby, Ning Rongrong felt much more at ease. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Thank you for waking me up."

After saying that, she walked straight towards Suotuo City.

Although the battle just now lasted only three minutes, it was at her maximum strength, and the consumption of her Soul Power and physical strength was also enormous.

It's inevitable that Tang Hao will come knocking on our door again.

We need to find a place to restore it.

What she didn't know was that Tang Hao was also seriously injured at this time, almost to the point of death, and his fate was even more crippled than hers.

He fell off a cliff and was unable to move.

"Wait! You look so weak, let me take you into the city."

Seeing Ning Rongrong leave alone, Hu Liena quickly quickened her pace to catch up.

This left Xie Yue and Yan quite helpless.

"Nana, can't you figure out if someone is good or bad before you meet them? Besides, if you had just paid a little more attention to me, we wouldn't be without love between us, would we?"

Yan called out helplessly from behind.

But Hu Liena completely ignored him.

In the end, he and Xie Yue had no choice but to chase after them.
