Outlaw Zhang San

Should we go out?

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Disciple, who were secretly protecting Ning Rongrong, began a discussion.

"No need, Miss is not in Life danger."

"That's true, it's good to let this Little Witch suffer a bit."

And so, when Xiao Wu swung her arms straight and gently placed Ning Rongrong back on the spot, her legs trembled and she swayed back and forth before finally leaning against the wall.

"Vomit--"

Seeing this, Xiao Wu turned around triumphantly, clapped her hands at Zhou Qing and Tang San, and said smugly, "Done!"

[What's settled?]

[You just hope Ning Rongrong won't go home and tell her parents, right?]

Zhou Qing inwardly complained, then took a few steps forward, patted Ning Rongrong on the back, handed her a bag of water, and asked, "Are you alright?"

"N-nothing... it's nothing." Ning Rongrong staggered a few steps, shook her head, took the water bag, and started gulping down the water. "Whoosh—"

After regaining some of her composure, Ning Rongrong tossed the water bag to Zhou Qing, then, with her arms outstretched and back bent, walked straight to Xiao Wu.

"What? Little brat, you're not thinking of telling your parents, are you?" Xiao Wu wasn't stupid either. To prevent Ning Rongrong from going back and summoning the Titled Douluo, she resorted to provocation.

"You just wait!"

Ning Rongrong shouted, but there was little anger in her eyes. Instead, there was a hint of reminiscence, as if she had never experienced being "spun around" like this before. "From now on, I will lift you up and spin you around as hard as I can!"

"I'm always ready to help, but I'm afraid you won't have the chance."

Xiao Wu suddenly reached out and pressed her hand on Ning Rongrong's head, scratching it rapidly, turning her beautiful short hair into a messy bird's nest.

Instantly, Ning Rongrong blushed and waved her arms wildly, trying to hit Xiao Wu.

But Xiao Wu is 1.6 meters tall. She placed one hand on Ning Rongrong's head and pushed her back a short distance. No matter how much Ning Rongrong waved her arms like a high-speed windmill, she couldn't hurt a single hair on Xiao Wu's head.

After the commotion subsided, Ning Rongrong calmed down. After all, she had never suffered such grievances since childhood. Being treated like this by Xiao Wu suddenly left her with nothing but anger, shame, and a strange sense of enjoyment.

At least, she had never experienced such a loss of composure when facing Ning Fengzhi or Sword Douluo. Therefore, deep down, she instinctively felt that it was quite interesting, even though her own brain was unaware of it.

Ning Rongrong straightened her disheveled clothes and asked Zhou Qing, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"We've come here to capture a Soul Ancestor," Zhou Qing said.

"Just you guys?"

Ning Rongrong seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. She arched her back, clutched her stomach, and the corners of her mouth almost stretched to her ears. "Hahaha, you guys successfully made me laugh! Consider it an apology for the calm and collected long braid from before!"

Completely calm?

Zhou Qing glanced at Xiao Wu and sighed inwardly: This Ning Rongrong is quite good at drawing inferences from one instance.

Xiao Wu, who was a beat slow to react, became embarrassed and annoyed. She walked up behind Ning Rongrong without making a sound, grabbed the other's face, and rubbed it hard. "Completely flat, huh? You'll definitely be the same in the future! And you'll be even flatter than me, the kind that can stop a carriage!"

To prevent the two from continuing their conversation on this topic, Zhou Qing interrupted them and went on to talk about their mission in Falling Star City...

After learning the details, Ning Rongrong's bright eyes darted around, and she said, "It seems you're short of money. How about I buy your Light Goddess Butterfly Bug Egg for 10,000 Gold Soul Coin?"

Zhou Qing only gave Ning Rongrong this one look: →_→

"Cough cough."

Ning Rongrong pretended to talk about something else. "By the way, you haven't told me your names yet."

"Oh, my name is Qing Zhou." Without hesitation, Zhou Qing reversed his name, then glanced at Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina, signaling them not to speak yet, and introduced them one by one, "This boy who looks as handsome as me is called Zhang San; and this girl with a scorpion tail braid is called Wu Xiao, Xiao as in dawn; and this blonde girl Tina Roman."

Considering Xiao Wu's explosive temper, Zhou Qing changed "Wu Xiao Wu Xiao," which means dancing gracefully at dawn, which is also quite beautiful.

Xiao Wu snorted coldly, which was taken as an admission of the pseudonym "Wu Xiao".

After all, this is Falling Star City.

Romantina didn't care. People in the city who knew her wouldn't call her by her full name; they would either call her Miss Roman or Miss Tina.

There isn't much difference between Roman Tina and Tina Roman.

Only Tang San looked resentful.

Zhang San?

Why not call it San Tang?

"Zhang San? That name sounds so casual."

Ning Rongrong nodded slightly at the names Qing Zhou and Wu Xiao, which sounded somewhat elegant, but she didn't feel anything for Tina Roman. After all, her grandfather Jian, grandfather Gu, and her father had all told her that this seemed to be a different set of naming logic.

The name "Zhang San" was the only one that Ning Rongrong felt a sense of familiarity with, but not the kind of familiarity one would have with a lover. Rather, it felt more like the familiarity one would have with a sect member or servant whom she could summon and command at will—these people were all addressed with numbers-like codes.

Tang San closed his eyes, took a deep breath through his nose, and was about to explain the origin of the name "Zhang San" when Ning Rongrong continued, "Never mind, since everyone knows each other now, let's start the mission!"

Tang San, who was choking, felt a little uncomfortable, but decided not to argue with a real little kid. He just gave Zhou Qing a look: Do you really want to take her with you?

Bring it with you!

Zhou Qing blinked and nodded slightly.

Even without Ning Rongrong, she would follow on her own—as long as she still carries the Bug Egg of the Light Goddess Butterfly, she can determine her approximate location and find her way here using her senses.

Since that's the case, it's better to bring him along, lest this guy make things worse.

In addition, they could also make use of those people whose Soul Power Level was at least at the Soul Ancestor, or even the Soul King level, who were secretly protecting Ning Rongrong.

Zhou Qing couldn't directly convey these reasons to Tang San through his eyes, but Tang San was quick-witted. After a moment's thought about Ning Rongrong's Treasure Seeking abilities, he guessed the general idea and essentially acquiesced.

However, Xiao Wu has a sharp tongue and often speaks without thinking, "Do you really want to bring this burden along?"

"You're the burden!"

Ning Rongrong roared, "I'm an eleventh-level Soul Master, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's support abilities are unparalleled. My First Soul Skill is to Strength Amplification, with an amplification efficiency of twenty percent! But don't expect me to amplify you then!"

"Cut!"

Xiao Wu looked completely unconcerned -(ˉ▽￣~)~~, "Sister Xiao Wu, I don't need your amplification; my power is already unparalleled in the world!"
