Gu Rong Takes MVP, Rongrong's Plan [4K]
"Zhu Zhuqing, Rongrong, are you going straight back to rest, or would you like to go for a walk and look around?"
On the second floor, Tang Wulin looked at the two girls beside him and asked softly.
"Um?"
I want to go for a walk with Wulin.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing immediately replied, a look of pleasure on her pretty face. As she spoke, she took the other person's hand in her own.
Strolling through the towns outside the Star Dou Great Forest is certainly a new experience.
"I... I won't go, Brother Tang, Zhu Zhuqing, you guys go ahead, I'm not feeling well."
Ning Rongrong, standing to the side, pursed her lips, clearly wanting to go with the two of them as well, but seeing their hands clasped together, she quickly stopped and murmured.
She...
I definitely feel very uncomfortable.
"Hmm? Rongrong..."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing looked at the other person's preoccupied expression and knew exactly what was on their mind. A hint of hesitation appeared in her eyes.
She couldn't finish speaking before the other person had already taken the key and entered the room, then gave a forced smile and closed the door.
"Well..."
Zhu Zhuqing sighed. After all, this was a good friend with whom she had a very good relationship. Besides, if it weren't for her, she wouldn't have realized that she liked Wulin...
If it were anything else, it would be fine, but this is Wulin!
She still wanted to be a little selfish...
"Zhu Zhuqing, let's go out first."
"See if we can bring Rongrong some food back on the way; the evening market should still be quite lively."
Tang Wulin was also stunned for a moment, then looked at the girl beside him and said softly.
"Um..."
"I'll do as you say."
Zhu Zhuqing leaned on his shoulder and said softly.
After that, the two quickly went down the stairs to the first floor, their eyes falling on the Shrek group who were eating, but they didn't give them a second glance.
Meanwhile, Dai Mubai and his group, who were busy pooling their money to pay the bill, rarely noticed the two figures, except for Tang San.
"Um?"
"Those two..."
Tang San hesitated for only two and a half seconds before his gaze fell intently on Tang Wulin's companion as they headed out of the hotel, his eyes especially fixed on the boy's back.
"Is this Tang Wulin?"
He frowned, unable to suppress his thoughts.
How did he get here?
No, that's not right, it shouldn't be him.
"What's wrong, Xiao San?"
Nearby, Oscar noticed his absent-mindedness, stepped forward and put his arm around his shoulder, asking in confusion, which made Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun look at him as well.
"Xiao Ao, Boss Dai, Fatty."
"I think that looks a lot like Tang Wulin, but then again, it doesn't seem right. After all, there's no reason for him to be here."
Tang San pointed to the figure that quickly disappeared in front of the door and said slowly. The three people who heard this were stunned for a moment, and then shook their heads with a smile.
"Impossible. He's Soul Ancestor, he can't possibly come to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain Soul Ring."
Oscar was the first to shake his head, inwardly marveling at how the other party could possibly be here.
Keep in mind, they're already Soul Ancestor; if they hunt for more Soul Rings, they'll be on their way to becoming Soul King...
Absolutely impossible!
"Exactly, Fatty, I'm still stuck at the Soul Grandmaster level. Tang Wulin can't possibly become Soul King, can he?"
Ma Hongjun also smiled and said.
Let's not talk about him, brothers.
"He's just a talented bastard, what kind of Spirit Hall Holy Son is he..."
Dai Mubai snorted coldly, downed the wine glass he was holding in one gulp, and said with a hint of displeasure on his face.
Although his appearance has recovered, the marks of the swelling on his face are still clearly visible, and all of this is thanks to Tang Wulin!
Even his fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing...
Heh, let's not even mention that woman. Her engagement to me was personally arranged by the Star Luo Imperial Family. So what if he's the Spirit Hall Holy Son?
The Spirit Hall isn't that strong yet!
"..."
"Actually."
I really want to go out for a walk too.
Inside the room on the second floor.
Since saying goodbye to Tang Wulin and the other person, Ning Rongrong sat dejectedly on the sofa in the living room. The smile she had managed to put on earlier had vanished, and her heart was filled with bitterness.
She was never someone who particularly enjoyed cultivation or being idle. She desperately wanted to go out with Brother Tang and Zhu Zhuqing, but...
How could she possibly disturb their time together?
When she first held Brother Tang's hand with Zhu Zhuqing, she could muster up the courage, but now, Zhu Zhuqing is his girlfriend.
She shouldn't go. Going will only make her feel worse, not better. She might as well just stay where she is and rest...
"Rongrong."
"How about we get something to eat, or maybe go for a walk? When you were little and unhappy, weren't Grandpa Bone and Grandpa Sword always the ones who took you out to play?"
At that moment, accompanied by a surge of spatial Soul Power, Gu Rong appeared in the living room, looking at the dejected girl with a face full of helplessness and heartache.
"I'm not going, Grandpa Bone."
Hearing the comforting words, Ning Rongrong, who was already feeling down, could not calm herself down at all. Her eyes were filled with disappointment as she shook her head.
In her heart, she was even more obsessed with one sentence: she was the one who arrived first...
She arrived before Zhu Zhuqing; she arrived first.
"Rongrong..."
"Actually, there's nothing we can do. A genius like His Highness Wulin is one in a million, even once in a thousand years, across the entire continent. In the future, it won't be just a little girl who can protect him."
Gu Rong shook his head. If Rongrong were to get engaged to that kid Wulin, he would definitely support it wholeheartedly, since the other party was undoubtedly one of the top talents on the continent.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be together but not to stay together.
At this moment, Gu Rong slowly opened his mouth, completely unaware that the girl in front of him suddenly fell into deep thought after hearing his words.
It's not something Zhu Zhuqing can hold onto...
Grandpa Bone is absolutely right!
A peerless genius like Brother Tang is bound to attract countless people. Right now, just the two of them, Zhu Zhuqing and I, are already there, and there will probably be more in the future.
She had already realized this before, otherwise why would she have suggested becoming closer sisters with Zhu Zhuqing?
Right now, she can't forget this!
"Rongrong, listen to Grandpa Bone said. It's not just you; among all the descendants of the Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall, or other proud daughters of heaven, who wouldn't be interested in him?"
"It's better that we gave up on someone like that sooner rather than later. It's also better that Rongrong didn't end up with that brat..."
"Grandpa Bone, you're right!"
While the other person was still trying to comfort her, Ning Rongrong snapped out of her thoughts, interrupted them, and a radiant smile appeared on her face.
"Um?"
"It seems Rongrong has taken it to heart..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Rong's eyes lit up, thinking that the other person had taken his words to heart. However, before he could finish speaking, the other person's next sentence almost made him gasp for breath.
"Grandpa Bone is right."
"Someone like Brother Tang is highly sought after by everyone. He'll have many suitors in the future, and Zhu Zhuqing won't be able to protect him then..."
Ning Rongrong's eyes shone brightly as she smiled and spoke.
Being with Brother Tang alongside Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't put her at a disadvantage at all. Besides, she didn't really have much of a problem with becoming good friends with Zhu Zhuqing!
"Um?"
Seeing that Rongrong was back on track, Gu Rong's smile grew wider and wider. That's how it should be.
Rongrong has such great talent. Now that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Spirit Hall are on good terms, their future prospects are equally bright. Why put all your eggs in one basket?
So...
"Grandpa Bone, I must seize the opportunity and become Zhu Zhuqing's first sister, then we'll protect Brother Tang together!"
Ning Rongrong's previously disappointed face regained a beautiful blush, she pursed her lips, and her eyes regained their energy.
Call...
Zhu Zhuqing was still too weak and alone. As her good sister, and also as a sister in the future, she had to stand with her to protect her and Brother Tang.
"That's right, that's what Grandpa meant..."
"Hmm? That's not right!"
"Ah?"
Gu Rong's face was full of a handsome smile as he nodded kindly and subconsciously spoke, but soon, upon hearing what the other person said, his expression gradually fell silent.
"Rongrong, what did you say!"
His eyes widened instantly as he stared intently at the girl before him, as if she were not the little girl he knew at all.
"I didn't say anything special, just that I need to keep trying, catch up with Brother Tang first, and protect him together with Zhu Zhuqing..."
"Isn't that what Grandpa Bone thinks too?"
Ning Rongrong's face was full of anticipation as she spoke frankly, but by the end, a hint of doubt couldn't help but appear on her face.
Could it be that Grandpa Bone didn't mean that?
"Rongrong, you..."
"You really think so?"
Gu Rong was speechless at this moment. No, when did he ever mean that?
Rongrong, please don't go off on such a tangent, okay?
That's exactly what I think.
"My plan is to go back and find Zhu Zhuqing. If I can persuade Zhu Zhuqing, things will be much better..."
Ning Rongrong blinked, nodded, and at the same time, a beautiful glint flashed in her eyes.
"..."
Hearing this, Gu Rong became even more silent. Oh no, Rongrong had already started to come up with a plan in her mind; she had really made up her mind.
If this works out, wouldn't it be my influence that's benefiting me!
"Rongrong, would you like to reconsider?"
He paused for a moment, then asked.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong actually raised her head, her pretty face showing a thoughtful expression, as if she were genuinely struggling with a decision.
"Grandpa Bone, I understand!"
"What do you know...?"
At this moment, Gu Rong finally felt relieved and looked at the other person in front of him, asking a question.
"The plan can't wait until I get back, because I'm also going to the Spirit Hall Academy with Zhu Zhuqing. The Spirit Hall is full of geniuses, and it will be too late by then."
"I plan to talk to Zhu Zhuqing about this tonight when she and Brother Tang come back."
Ning Rongrong chuckled.
"By the way, Grandpa Bone, your cultivation is quite strong. When you sense Brother Tang and the others returning..."
Please let me know when the time comes.
She added.
"..."
And it was at this moment that Gu Rong's heart turned completely cold.
"Rongrong, why don't you reconsider...?"
"I don't have anything to consider for now. Oh, right, Grandpa Bone, I need to cultivate now, so I can't chat with you anymore. Could you keep an eye on Brother Tang and the others for me?"
"..."
In the end, seeing that his little princess was truly focused on her cultivation, Gu Rong didn't say anything and silently left the room, his figure appearing so lonely on the town's streets.
"Why would Rongrong have such thoughts? Could it be because of what I said that she's thinking these things?"
He couldn't help but ask himself this question, then quickly shook his head; it couldn't be his problem...
"But is this really right?"
The Gu Rong murmured bitterly.
"..."
Meanwhile, at the town's night market, Tang Wulin and Zhu Zhuqing bought a lot of delicious food.
It's no exaggeration to say that as the largest Soul Beast Forest on the entire continent, it has all kinds of food, so much so that the two of them were already full when they left.
"Wulin, I'm full."
With a smile on her face, Zhu Zhuqing gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue and said with a satisfied expression.
What's it like to eat all-you-can-eat snacks? Oh wait, wait, what if I ate with Wulin...?
She was really happy tonight.
"We can't let Zhu Zhuqing go hungry. Let's get ready to go back now, but before we do, let's also pack some food for Rongrong."
Tang Wulin smiled gently and spoke frankly.
"That's for sure."
"After all, we can't let Rongrong go hungry."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement, saying frankly that although her feelings were complicated when Rongrong was mentioned, she naturally couldn't forget her sister when enjoying delicious food.
But...
She still wants to have a good talk with Rongrong tonight.
At least the sisterly bond won't break; we need to comfort each other properly.
"..."
Afterwards, having packed up a series of foods including grilled fish, chicken wings, fried rice cakes, and spicy roasted lamb leg, the two had already returned to their accommodation on the second floor of the hotel.
"Wulin, I'm taking this food to Rongrong. I'll chat with her for a bit and then go back to my room. You should get some rest too..."
See you tomorrow.
Standing in front of Tang Wulin's room, Zhu Zhuqing looked at the young man before her and said sweetly.
"That..."
"Give me a kiss?"
Tang Wulin smiled gently and blinked.
"I would never have forgotten..."
Zhu Zhuqing blushed slightly, tiptoed, and gently kissed the other's lips. She secretly thought to herself, "Wulin kissed me so many times on the way here..."
What a terrible person.
See you tomorrow!
Tang Wulin smiled with satisfaction and returned to his room, while Zhu Zhuqing headed towards Ning Rongrong's room.
"... Hmm? Rongrong?"
Just as Zhu Zhuqing was about to knock on the door, it opened at the same time, revealing a beautiful face.
"Zhu Zhuqing?"
Ning Rongrong was also taken aback, looking at the person in front of her with some surprise, as she was just about to go find them!
"Rongrong, I brought you some food..."
"Zhu Zhuqing, I have something I want to tell you..."
The next moment, whether it was due to tacit understanding or something else, the two spoke almost simultaneously.
"Um...?"
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were both taken aback, while the latter smiled faintly.
"Then let's have a good talk."
"..."
Gu Rong: I got MVP, Rongrong just got carried to victory, and the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect got carried to victory too!
