Ning Rongrong

After a lavish lunch, Ye Feng lounged in the courtyard, basking in the sun.

Since he had only awakened his martial soul today, Ning Fengzhi had given him the day off.

His studies would begin tomorrow.

Ye Feng guessed that tomorrow, he might have to hunt for his first spirit ring.

After all, although he could still cultivate without a spirit ring, his level would not increase.

And once he absorbed a spirit ring, he would become an official Spirit Master.

A Spirit Master's cultivation speed was certainly faster and more efficient than that of a Spirit Warrior.

Ye Feng had nothing to worry about regarding his first spirit ring. He believed Ning Fengzhi would arrange everything properly.

After all, on the Douluo Continent, taking a master was an extremely serious matter.

A person could only acknowledge one master in their lifetime. Such a relationship was comparable to that of father and son.

Just as Ye Feng was lazily dozing off, a burst of commotion suddenly came from the courtyard gate.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a delicate, adorable little girl running toward him with rapid little steps.

Several anxious-looking maids trailed behind her.

"Hey, are you the disciple my dad took in today?" The little girl stopped before Ye Feng, planted her hands on her hips, and asked.

Ye Feng looked at her with amusement. Of course he knew Ning Rongrong; it was just that his former status had been ordinary, so they had rarely interacted.

"Mm, I am." Ye Feng smiled. The girl was adorable, but she was also a notorious troublemaker who often turned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect upside down.

Ning Rongrong was clever and mischievous. Her eyes darted about before she loudly declared, "Then you have to listen to me from now on and play with me."

She had come looking for Ye Feng because she had heard that her dad had just accepted a disciple.

At the time, she had felt as though someone had snatched away her favorite toy, and she had intended to come make trouble for Ye Feng.

But when she saw his handsome, refined appearance, her impression of him immediately improved. After a quick turn of her eyes, she decided to make Ye Feng her playmate.

Though she was the Little Princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she did not have any playmates.

The other children in the sect all knew Ning Rongrong's identity. They became timid whenever they saw her and did not dare play with her.

Her older brothers were much older than she was. Aside from cultivating and studying, they had neither the time nor interest to play with her.

Now that she had encountered someone her own age who was pleasing to the eye, of course she wanted to play with him.

More importantly, Ye Feng was not afraid of her and seemed easy to talk to.

"Playing with you? No problem." Ye Feng automatically ignored the part about having to listen to her.

He was more than happy to build a good relationship with Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong was the Little Princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Becoming close to her came with plenty of benefits.

"Hehe, hurry up and get up. Let's go play horsey!"

A sly glint flashed through Ning Rongrong's eyes, instantly giving Ye Feng a bad feeling.

This girl wasn't planning to make him act as the horse, was she? That would not do.

At once, Ye Feng's eyes shifted as he asked with a smile, "What's so fun about playing horsey? How about I tell you a story instead?"

He refused to believe he could not handle a little girl.

"A story? Hurry, tell it, tell it! Once you're done, we can go play horsey." Ning Rongrong instantly became interested and spoke excitedly.

This girl still remembered playing horsey even now.

Ye Feng glanced at Ning Rongrong. This little girl was not so easy to fool.

"This is the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."

"Once upon a time..."

"Snow White's stepmother is so awful. Snow White is so pitiful!"

After hearing the story, Ning Rongrong had completely forgotten about playing horsey and clung to Ye Feng, asking him to continue.

Seeing how clingy Ning Rongrong was, Ye Feng simply began telling her a longer tale, thoroughly whetting her appetite.

"Next is the story of a monkey wreaking havoc in the Western Heaven..."

Very quickly, as Ye Feng continued his tale, Ning Rongrong became immersed in the story once more, unable to pull herself away!

"Ding, your martial soul greatly admires the monkey's courage to battle heaven and earth. In its excitement, it has evolved once again. Progress: 3/10."

"Ding, your Meditation Method says that your story has made it drowsy. Meditation has entered the Wuwei Realm, and your cultivation speed has greatly increased."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's newly formed smile immediately froze.

His expression turned into one of helpless amusement.

Damn it, this proud Meditation Method of his was really something else!

And he could not even get angry, because his cultivation efficiency had greatly increased. He was the one benefiting from it!

"Brother Ye Feng, hurry and continue! What happened to the Great Sage Equal to Heaven afterward..."

Little Ning Rongrong clung to Ye Feng's arm and kept shaking it. To keep listening to the story, she even started calling him big brother.

Naturally, Ning Rongrong's whereabouts were under Ning Fengzhi's control. When he learned that she was with Ye Feng, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said nothing about it.

He was quite happy to see it happen and was even pleased for Ye Feng and Ning Rongrong to build a good relationship.

After all, Ning Rongrong was his most beloved precious daughter. Once she grew up, her safety would likely have to depend on Ye Feng's protection.

It was not until evening, urged by the maid, that Ning Rongrong reluctantly left.

Of course, before leaving, she made him promise to continue the story tomorrow.

Ye Feng readily agreed. After all, tomorrow's schedule was not something he could decide—it depended on how her father arranged things.

Soon, night fell, and bright moonlight streamed in through the window, shining over Ye Feng.

"Ding, your Meditation Method has sensed special energy, and its cultivation speed has increased."

The system notification instantly jolted Ye Feng awake. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood what the special energy referred to.

This Meditation Method really had something to it!

Absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth—was this preparing him to cultivate immortality?

But that was naturally a good thing for him. The feeling of a cultivation technique training on its own was simply incredible.

Early the next morning, Ye Feng woke to the call of the cute maid.

"Ding, a new day has arrived. After resting for the night, your Martial Soul feels refreshed and full of drive as it continues evolving."

"Ding, sensing the fresh air outside the window, your Meditation Method indicates that cultivation in such an environment would be more efficient."

From the notifications, it was clear that the Meditation Method had rather high standards for quality of life and lived quite refinedly.

Ye Feng naturally met this small request enthusiastically, even choosing to have breakfast in the courtyard.

After a night of cultivation by the Meditation Method, Ye Feng sensed the soul power within his body and found that it had noticeably increased. Compared with yesterday, his soul power had risen by at least three or four percent.

It had only been one short day, yet this cultivation speed was astonishing!

After breakfast, Ye Feng dressed neatly and arrived early at the entrance to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's council hall.

Seeing the two guards at the entrance, Ye Feng stepped forward and asked, "Guard brothers, is my teacher inside?"

"You must be Young Master Ye Feng. The Sect Master gave instructions long ago that if you arrived, you could go in and wait by yourself," one of the guards said warmly.

The news that the Sect Master had taken in a genius with Innate Full Soul Power as his disciple after yesterday's awakening had already spread throughout the sect.

Now that they saw him in person, they were naturally very friendly toward Ye Feng.

"Thanks, brothers!" Ye Feng waved at the two guards with practiced maturity before taking the lead into the council hall.

Upon entering the hall, Ye Feng discovered that it was extremely luxurious, especially the main seat at the very top.

It was a broad, carved chair with an enormous piece of jade set into its back. The jade gave off a faint emerald glow; it was clearly worth a fortune at a glance.

Below the main seat stood two rows of high-backed chairs made from some unknown wood. Numerous attractive decorations hung around the hall as well, making it appear exceptionally lavish.

"Hehe, Xiao Feng, you arrived so early. Have you eaten breakfast yet?"

Just as Ye Feng was still looking around, a gentle voice came from outside the door.

Ye Feng turned around and saw that Ning Fengzhi had arrived.
