An Encounter with Ning Rongrong

Heaven Dou City.

Commercial street.

Ning Rongrong, the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, deliberately blocked Zhou Qing and Tang San's path and asked in a rather familiar manner, "Do you remember me?"

Who are you?

Although he recognized the other person at a glance, Zhou Qing pretended to be full of doubt and turned to Tang San to ask, "What's the new girlfriend you met in Heaven Dou City?"

Tang San was about to agree, but upon hearing the words "new girlfriend," he almost stumbled and said speechlessly, "I don't even have a girlfriend, so where would a new girlfriend come from? I think she's your fan."

Zhou Qing stared at Tang San for a long while, until he felt uneasy, before realizing that he had truly forgotten about the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in front of him.

But he could understand.

After all, Tang San was busy researching crops and Soul Tool, plus cultivating, studying, and teaching other children. Unimportant people and memories were naturally relegated to the back of his mind and he wouldn't give them much thought.

In fact, Zhou Qing was the same. However, he had read the novel "Douluo Continent" in his previous life and had met Ning Rongrong three years ago. He still had some impression of her hair color and face shape. Therefore, when he saw the nine-year-old Ning Rongrong, who was already well-developed, he was able to recognize her at first glance.

"No way? We haven't seen each other for only three years, how come you don't recognize me?" Ning Rongrong pouted, a little doubtful of life. "I clearly remember you all."

"So you, the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, are really lonely, unable to make many friends?" Zhou Qing sighed and invited Tang San to go to the nearby Vegetable Market to buy groceries.

This time, he went out with Tang San to buy groceries.

Although he has earned a lot of money since coming to Heaven Dou City, all of it must be used for future development. He can't take his students out for lavish meals every day. It's more appropriate for him to buy ingredients and cook for himself.

Only then did Tang San realize who this little girl was.

Only--

What was this person's name again?

"Hehe, I knew you hadn't forgotten!"

Ning Rongrong immediately realized that Zhou Qing had been faking it, and she couldn't help but smile as she followed behind the two of them, saying, "Tang San, you've changed quite a bit!"

Tang San said, "Well, he's grown up and inherited his mother's looks."

Ning Rongrong was a little suspicious, but didn't pay much attention to it. She simply asked, "Are you going to buy groceries?"

How about I treat you to a meal at the best Royal Hotel in Heaven Dou City?

The head chef there is Soul Master, with top-notch skills!

Moreover, during the competition, there was much more movement of people in the city than usual, and they even made a dish every day using the meat of Ten-Thousand Year Soul Beast as the main ingredient!

I pre-ordered one of these dishes, why don't we go try it together? And we can invite Romantina and Xiao Wu too.

Zhou Qing stroked his chin and asked, "How big are the plates for the dishes? Can they feed nearly forty people?"

"Nearly forty people?"

Ning Rongrong was taken aback and immediately remembered what her father had said: Nuoding Academy had brought thirty-six ordinary students this time, "Who are not Soul Master and therefore cannot digest the flesh of a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast."

"Never mind then."

Zhou Qing refused.

Upon entering the Vegetable Market, Zhou Qing and Tang San split up and bought a large quantity of fresh meat, vegetables, fruits, and seasonings such as scallions, ginger, and garlic.

"Is this all you're eating?" Ning Rongrong asked, puzzled.

These meats and vegetables are enough for ordinary people and regular Soul Master, but for those at the Soul Grandmaster level and above, they are only enough to fill their stomachs and do not have much effect on strengthening their physical fitness.

"The portions are generous and filling, and we also have ways to exercise." Zhou Qing put the fruits, vegetables, and meat she bought into Gray Pouch.

Why not put it in Tang San's the Moon Shines Brightly in the Twelve Towers?

Because the space of his Storage Soul Tool is only six cubic meters, it is filled with various Hidden Weapon, Soul Tool and corresponding daily necessities.

Ning Rongrong nodded, then asked, "How did you manage to get your first and Second Spirit Ring to reach the thousand-year level? Come to think of it, I never even saw your Soul Ring before. Were you hiding them all along, only planning to make a name for yourselves today?"

"Give."

Zhou Qing didn't answer, but directly handed over a book titled "The Soul Ring Secondary Refinement Theory".

Ning Rongrong opened it, glanced at it, and immediately closed it again.

She had seen enough of the dense text while studying various courses within the sect, and now just seeing it made her dizzy.

"That must be very difficult to do, right?" Putting aside her theory, Ning Rongrong asked tentatively.

"It's easy. With your talent, I estimate that once you reach level 99, there's a very small chance that you can use your powerful Spiritual Power to observe the patterns inside the Soul Ring and complete the Secondary Soul Ring Refinement. However, if you refine the Soul Ring Secondary Refinement then, the age of the Soul Ring and the power of the Soul Skill probably won't increase much. It will only make you more fluent when using the Soul Skill and consume less Soul Power."

Zhou Qing shrugged and said that.

"Is this why you dare to publicize this theory?" Ning Rongrong sneered, but then she grabbed Zhou Qing's arm, opened her big, watery eyes, and said pitifully, "Qing Ge, please help me now, okay?"

Hiss--

Zhou Qing got goosebumps all over his body and hurriedly pulled his arm away from Ning Rongrong's embrace. Under Ning Rongrong's stunned gaze, he shook it a couple of times and said, "Don't call me brother, it sounds too cheesy... You have to ask Romantina, she's the key, but she charges a bit too much."

"High price? How much?"

Ning Rongrong's tone immediately returned to normal, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, looking smug.

After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has no shortage of money.

"Two hundred million Gold Soul Coin for one hour," Zhou Qing quoted the price. "However, since you're practically our friend, I can give you a 10% discount, so it'll be one hundred and eighty million Gold Soul Coin."

"Robbery!"

Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise.

One hundred and eighty million Gold Soul Coin per hour?

Doesn't this mean that if it's not finished in an hour, you have to pay again?

"Why can't it be calculated by Soul Ring? For example, one Soul Ring for two hundred million Gold Soul Coin?" Ning Rongrong suggested.

"What are you thinking? Some Soul Master aren't good at controlling their Spiritual Power or the fine manipulation of their Soul Power. They might not be able to finish it even after three days and three nights!"

Zhou Qing said that Romantina also needs to sleep—with eight Sub-consciousness, she doesn't need mental rest, but her body does need rest; her muscles and bones can't keep working indefinitely!

"I didn't consider the duration of Romantina's Soul Skill..." Ning Rongrong, who had been misled, actually believed Zhou Qing and suddenly felt that 200 million Gold Soul Coin per hour was not expensive, not to mention that she could pay 20 million Gold Soul Coin less!

This is an absolute steal!

"So, shall we go find Romantina now? By card? Or cash?" Zhou Qing couldn't wait to take the 90 million Gold Soul Coin.

Tang San never expected that he could make money by going out to buy groceries, and that he would make 180 million!

"Where would I get so many?"

Ning Rongrong smiled slyly, "Why don't you come with me to the gambling area of Heaven Dou Auction House? One strike and you're sure to become rich!"
