Star Dou Great Forest! Tang San's Premonition [4K]
"..."
Ning Rongrong remained silent, her face already flushed red to her ears, completely blushing. How could something like Whale Rubber have such a positive effect?!
"So..."
"Brother Tang just wants to improve our physical fitness so that we can obtain Soul Rings of a higher age, right?"
Seeing the two of them so intimately close, she, who had been silent for a long time, blushed and finally pursed her lips before speaking.
That's exactly what I meant.
"At least after the first consumption, given your physical condition after absorbing the Immortal Herb, you will be able to absorb Soul Ring with a lifespan of around three thousand years."
Tang Wulin nodded and said slowly.
"That way, when you get your Fourth Soul Ring, you can also reach the level of a ten-thousand-year fourth ring, just like Sister Yanyan."
"And it's definitely not what you all thought. I just... well, never mind."
In the end, Tang Wulin hesitated, a gentle smile on his face, and shook his head.
"So that's all there is to it..."
"I thought..."
Ning Rongrong nodded, but a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. She bit her lip, her heart filled with more than just bitterness.
All that thought she had in her head before was just wishful thinking on her part!
"Brother Tang, Zhu Zhuqing, I won't disturb you any longer. I'll wait for you outside..."
"I'll go out and wait for you."
Without lingering for a moment, she left immediately after saying those words and ran outside, clearly overwhelmed with shame.
"Hmm, Rongrong, this..."
Watching the other person leave, Tang Wulin was taken aback. Why did the other person seem so dejected? Was it because...?
Did you overthink things because of the Whale Rubber?
No wonder Zhu Zhuqing looked preoccupied when she saw the two of them, while Rongrong, on the other hand, had her happiness written all over her face.
It seems that last night...
Something's up!
"Wulin, I'm fine now too."
In Tang Wulin's arms, Zhu Zhuqing, blushing, peeked out and looked at him, whispering something.
Even if she didn't say it, she was definitely happy to have shown Rongrong such a good look, because what Rongrong said yesterday had scared her to death.
"It's alright now."
"We can talk things out calmly, and hopefully this kind of blunder won't happen again next time."
Tang Wulin smiled gently and kissed her cheek, making the already shy girl's face turn even more flushed.
"Okay, there won't be any more blunders next time..."
Zhu Zhuqing murmured, but then blinked involuntarily. Why would there be a next time?
"Zhu Zhuqing, what did Rongrong say to you last night?"
Before Zhu Zhuqing could speak, Tang Wulin looked at her and asked softly.
"Um!"
"I said so."
Upon hearing this, the girl's tone became more serious, and her originally rosy face showed a hint of earnestness as she nodded.
"Because Rongrong also likes Wulin, after learning about the effects of Whale Rubber last night, she..."
"I thought Wulin had feelings for her too."
"And they even said that we can not only be good sisters, but also even better sisters."
In the end, a hint of anger appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face, and her mood was clearly not so pleasant.
Listen to this, Rongrong is speaking human language!
"Um...?"
Tang Wulin blinked, thinking to himself that he had just realized it, while also pondering another thought:
Actually, it's not impossible.
Zhu Zhuqing...
"Wulin, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Tang Wulin remained silent, she asked softly, her face showing some concern.
"No, I was thinking about our hunt for Soul Rings."
"I see..."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't think much of it, her pretty face showing a cute expression as she muttered to herself.
"Let's go out too."
"Don't keep Rongrong and the seniors waiting too long."
The next moment, she pulled away from his embrace, gently took his hand, and her face flushed.
It's still quite embarrassing to be alone in a room with Wulin.
"Good."
"Let's go out."
Tang Wulin smiled gently, and as he spoke, he took the other person's hand and walked out together.
"Wulin, why don't you let go of me..."
As she stepped out of the house, thinking about the other seniors she would encounter outside, Zhu Zhuqing murmured to herself that she still felt quite embarrassed in front of her elders.
On the other hand, she's not even Soul Elder yet, so she's really not a good match for Wulin...
"What's wrong with that?"
"Is my Zhu Zhuqing embarrassed?"
Upon hearing the other person's words, Tang Wulin's face instantly lit up with a smile. He held the other person's hand tightly and asked softly.
"I do have a little bit..."
Zhu Zhuqing blushed, her mind filled with the casual "my Zhu Zhuqing" from the other person's mouth, and she felt extremely embarrassed.
But more than anything, people are overjoyed by the overflow.
"..."
According to the law of conservation of mood, on the other side, looking at the two who came out together, Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes were filled with a bitterness. She had known Brother Tang for much longer than Zhu Zhuqing!
Not good at all, not good at all!
"Your Highness, I have already made arrangements for Yan Yan and Miss Ye at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. We can now go to the Star Dou Great Hall..."
Before long, Dugu Bo and Gu Rong returned from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and reappeared in the courtyard.
However, they were all taken aback when they saw the other person holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand.
What happened?
When did this happen?
Dugu Bo couldn't help but think to himself, extremely surprised, especially considering that his granddaughter liked His Highness...
Well, it seems like it's all unrequited love for me.
And compared to him, Gu Rong was no different.
"Fengzhi was even planning to get Rongrong engaged to His Highness Wulin, but... it seems His Highness is in love with Miss Zhu Zhuqing."
"How sad Rongrong must be."
He couldn't help but ponder this in his heart. As he thought about it, Gu Rong subconsciously looked towards the position of his little princess and saw the taciturn Ning Rongrong.
When she noticed his gaze, the girl forced a smile, a smile that was tinged with bitterness.
"Rongrong, this..."
Gu Rong hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself. Having watched the other person grow up since childhood, he couldn't bear this. He could only sigh and prepare to persuade the other person properly later.
"Elder Venom, Senior Ancient Gu Rong."
"Now that everything is ready, let's go."
Tang Wulin, holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand, stepped forward with a handsome smile on his face and said frankly.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Dugu Bo nodded, then turned his gaze to the young man and woman in front of him, as well as Ye Lianci had stepped forward.
"Rongrong, Grandpa will take care of you."
Gu Rong walked over to Ning Rongrong and said slowly, "The journey to the Star Dou Great Forest is not short. If you can offer some advice to Rongrong, then do so."
"Okay, Grandpa Bone."
"..."
After that, led by the two Titled Douluos, the group took to the air and flew towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Rongrong, don't be sad."
At the start of the journey, Gu Rong subconsciously kept a distance from Dugu Bo, and then focused his attention on Ning Rongrong was silent beside him.
"Grandpa knows that you must be feeling very bad about His Highness Wulin being with Miss Zhu Zhuqing, but..."
We must look forward.
He sighed and said slowly.
He really hadn't considered that the reason why His Highness Wulin hadn't gotten engaged to Rongrong wasn't something else, like the fact that he was engaged to Hu Liena, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, or something like that.
But unexpectedly, it turned out to be Rongrong's best friend!
"Grandpa Bone..."
Gu Rong's words only made things worse. Upon hearing the other person's words of comfort, Ning Rongrong's face immediately fell, and her previously forced smile instantly turned sour.
"Rongrong, let's try to look on the bright side."
Whether or not you can be together depends on fate.
Gu Rong shook his head slightly and sighed.
"Fate..."
"But is it possible that Brother Tang and I are not destined to be together?"
Ning Rongrong nodded blankly. Of course she understood what he meant, since Brother Tang had also said that it depended on fate.
But are they really just not meant to be?
She had been amazed by the other person's talent since childhood, and the scene of the other person fighting Yu Tianheng was still vivid in her mind, even in a place like Suotuo City, at the Shrek Academy...
You can meet each other.
Isn't this fate?
"Rongrong, that's not what Grandpa meant."
"Since you two were able to meet in such a small place, it must be fate, but the timing of the meeting is also very important."
"Just like if you had met Miss Zhu Zhuqing earlier, Grandpa guarantees that His Highness Wulin would have preferred you, not her."
Gu Rong patiently comforted her, saying each word as if he would save Rongrong's little mood!
But he didn't realize that it was precisely these words of his that made Ning Rongrong's eyes turn red.
"But..."
"I knew Brother Tang even before Zhu Zhuqing!"
Ning Rongrong's mood plummeted even further; her eyes reddened, and she bit her lip.
Grandpa Bone's words of comfort were wonderful.
Next time, don't offer comfort!
"..."
The Gu Rong fell silent.
Was this a case of him deliberately stepping on a landmine?
"Rongrong, about this matter..."
"Grandpa Bone, you should focus on taking me to the Star Dou Great Forest. I'm very strong, don't worry too much about me."
"..."
Gu Rong sighed and had no choice but to give up.
Perhaps Rongrong is something that Old Swordsman Fengzhi are indeed better at!
"..."
The Star Dou Great Forest borders the kingdoms of Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire, and its location is very close to Suotuo City, but it is far inferior to Heaven Dou City.
It wasn't until evening that Tang Wulin and his group finally landed in a small town outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Your Highness, it's still late. Let's stay at the hotel tonight and enter the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow."
At that moment, a hotel came into view, and Dugu Bo immediately made a suggestion.
"Sure."
Tang Wulin smiled and agreed, and as they spoke, the group entered the hotel.
Although it only has two floors, it is quite large. The first floor is a restaurant, and the second floor provides accommodation.
Upon entering the hotel, the group immediately went to the front desk to book six rooms. However, shortly after arriving on the second floor, a commotion on the first floor caught the attention of Tang Wulin and his companions:
"Ha, what Canghui Academy?"
"Remember this, the one who beat you today is me, Zhao Wuji. If my student beat up your student, it's because your student was incompetent, but if I beat you up..."
"It's because you're incompetent!"
"Dean Zhao is awesome! Dean Zhao is so powerful!"
"..."
"Could that voice be..."
Hearing the commotion outside, Tang Wulin was immediately startled. Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing next to him, also looked at him, and even Ning Rongrong, who had been silent, couldn't help but react.
For a moment, the two looked down along the railing and indeed saw Zhao Wuji standing up to defend his brother, as well as Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Tang San who were gloating beside him.
"If you can't even beat an old bastard like this next time, don't call yourself a student of the Shrek Academy."
After stretching his muscles, Zhao Wuji let out a soft hum and said sternly, looking somewhat like a strict teacher.
"This..."
"What a coincidence."
Not to mention Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, even Tang Wulin was taken aback, clearly not expecting to encounter these people here today.
The world is so small.
However, this also means that Tang San has not yet obtained the Eight Spider Soul Bone, which would be of great help to him, from his Third Soul Ring.
"They're bullying people."
Zhu Zhuqing frowned, not even glancing at Dai Mubai, but instead focusing on Zhao Wuji, who had knocked someone else to the ground, and couldn't help but say something.
Isn't this blatant bullying?
"Exactly, and they're targeting students from a specific academy. I saw 'Canghui' written on their clothes, so it seems to be a high-level academy."
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but nod, deeply shocked. It was fortunate that they had left Shrek Academy; otherwise, what would this place be like?
Did they join in aiding and abetting the evildoers?
"Your Highness, do you know them?"
Seeing Tang Wulin and the others stop there, Dugu Bo asked curiously, and even Gu Rong looked towards Ning Rongrong's location.
"Yes, these are students from the academy we met before. The one leading them is Vice Dean Zhao Wuji."
"The faculty and students of the college?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.
Gu Rong, standing to the side, glanced at the short and stocky Zhao Wuji, and then fell silent.
He remembered Rongrong saying that the Dean of this college had bullied Rongrong, saying things like that about running...
Could it be...?
Could it be this landmine?
Gu Rong's eyes hardened at this thought, but then he shook his head. If he really bullied the younger generation like this, wouldn't he become like them?
I'll spare your life today.
"If you cause any more trouble for Rongrong afterward, Shrek Academy will be disbanded on the spot."
He scoffed inwardly, thinking to himself.
"Elder Venom, let's go back to our rooms and rest here for the night before entering the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow."
Tang Wulin clearly didn't pay much attention to the Shrek Academy group. After glancing intently in Tang San's direction, he quickly looked away and smiled.
"Yes, Your Highness."
"..."
Why do I have this ominous feeling?
Downstairs, Tang San frowned, his already not-so-handsome face now showing a thoughtful expression, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"It must be my imagination."
"I'm getting closer and closer to the level 30 bottleneck. Maybe I can get my Third Soul Ring this time in the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Once I become Soul Elder, I'll definitely be able to get Xiao Wu to look at me more, I definitely will..."
A hint of confidence flashed in Tang San's eyes as he spoke frankly.
He is by no means inferior to Tang Wulin!
