Ning Fengzhi's Gift

Although Feng Hao had pinned Qian Renxue down, she pushed at him and said seriously, "Little Hao, stop fooling around."

"My feelings were hurt just now, Sister Xue'er. You have to make it up to me," Feng Hao said pitifully.

"You're so greedy." As she spoke, she still gave Feng Hao a quick kiss on the lips.

"Sister Xue'er tastes so sweet." Having gotten what he wanted, Feng Hao released Qian Renxue.

After all, he knew what mattered and what did not. A little teasing was fine, but he could not truly go too far.

In any case, Qian Renxue's heart was already his. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

"Little Brother Feng Hao, how about coming with me to meet my teacher?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Your teacher is Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, right?" Feng Hao asked.

Feng Hao was still somewhat displeased with Ning Fengzhi for interrupting his good time.

If not for the fact that Ning Fengzhi had a precious daughter, Feng Hao would have gotten angry.

"Mm! You actually know my teacher, Little Brother Feng Hao?" Qian Renxue asked in surprise.

"You are now His Highness the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. Many people know who your teacher is," Feng Hao said.

"It seems you pay quite a bit of attention to affairs within the empire," Qian Renxue said.

"Of course. I was coming to Heaven Dou City to find you. If I didn't understand the situation here, what if someone bullied me after I arrived?" Feng Hao babbled nonsense.

"Let's go over. Don't keep Teacher waiting too long," Qian Renxue said.

"Mm!"

Inside the Crown Prince's Estate, in the reception hall.

Ning Fengzhi was drinking tea. Standing behind him was Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi found this rather strange. His student had always been punctual and never kept him waiting long.

Yet this time, he had been waiting for so long. Had something important happened?

After a while, Qian Renxue and Feng Hao arrived.

As soon as Qian Renxue entered, she immediately cupped her hands and said, "Teacher, I've kept you waiting."

"It's no matter. Qinghe, who is this?"

Ning Fengzhi immediately noticed Feng Hao. After all, there were only two people here.

For "Xue Qinghe" to personally bring him along, he had to be a very important friend.

Moreover, Ning Fengzhi felt that Feng Hao carried himself with extraordinary poise.

"This is a worthy younger brother I have befriended, Feng Hao," Xue Qinghe introduced solemnly.

"Greetings, Sect Master Ning." Feng Hao cupped his hands.

After all, he had designs on the man's precious daughter. He naturally had to be a little more courteous toward his future father-in-law.

"Greetings. Qinghe rarely makes friends. It seems you are no ordinary person." Ning Fengzhi smiled and extended his hand.

Feng Hao also extended his hand and said politely, "Sect Master Ning flatters me. I am merely fortunate enough to have earned His Highness the Crown Prince's favor."

"Teacher, worthy brother, stop exchanging pleasantries. Take your seats. Teacher, what brings you to see me today?" Xue Qinghe asked.

"We came to the auction house in Heaven Dou City to buy a few things, so we stopped by to see you. There is nothing else," Ning Fengzhi said.

"Then did you manage to buy what you wanted, Teacher?" Qian Renxue asked curiously.

"We did." Ning Fengzhi nodded.

With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's financial resources, it was quite easy for them to acquire whatever they wanted.

"Congratulations, Teacher," Qian Renxue said.

"Among the things we purchased this time is a gift for you." As Ning Fengzhi spoke, he took out a small box.

When the box was opened, it revealed a blood-red stone.

Several black veins ran across the stone, and beside it lay a flower.

The flower resembled a rose, but its petals were black, with faint wisps of Soul Power flowing out from it.

"Teacher, this is..." Qian Renxue looked at the flower in confusion. She had never seen it before.

But she could tell that the Soul Power on the flower seemed to be absorbable.

"We do not yet know what this flower is, but we can be certain that people can absorb the Soul Power it emits. If the entire flower is absorbed, it can directly raise one's Soul Power by two levels," Ning Fengzhi explained.

"Teacher, such a precious exotic flower should not be given to me. Take it back for Rongrong," Qian Renxue hurriedly declined.

It was not that she feared Ning Fengzhi would harm her. Ning Fengzhi treated her very well.

Otherwise, when speaking privately with Feng Hao, she would not still have called Ning Fengzhi her teacher.

Moreover, after accepting the flower, she could have Snake Lance Douluo and the others help confirm whether there was a problem with it.

She simply felt that she could not accept such an important gift.

Otherwise, when the time came to move against the Heaven Dou Empire and become enemies with Ning Fengzhi, she would feel guilty.

Ning Fengzhi said sternly, "Qinghe, when I first took you as my student, I prepared a gift, but you did not accept it. Treat this as that gift. If you refuse it again, then as your teacher, I will find it difficult to visit your estate often in the future."

Qian Renxue actually hoped he would not visit often, because many of the things she did were not meant to be discovered.

Whenever Ning Fengzhi came, he either brought Bone Douluo or Sword Douluo.

She wanted that even less.

At that moment, Feng Hao, who had intended to stay out of it, suddenly received a prompt.

"Ding! Ning Fengzhi has given a gift to his student Qian Renxue. Your suggestion..."

"Option One: Persuade Qian Renxue to accept it. Reward: 'Divine Farmer's Materia Medica.'"

"Option Two: Persuade Ning Fengzhi to take it back. Reward: one random immortal herb."

The sudden choice made it impossible for Feng Hao to remain uninvolved.

It just so happened that he had been hesitating over whether to ask for the stone inside.

Now there was no need to hesitate. He would simply take it!

After making his decision, Feng Hao persuaded Qian Renxue, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, since this is Sect Master Ning's heartfelt gesture, you should not refuse it out of excessive courtesy. As the saying goes, when an elder grants you something, you dare not decline."

"When an elder grants you something, you dare not decline—I like that saying. Qinghe, listen to Feng Hao and accept it!" Ning Fengzhi said happily. He found Feng Hao rather pleasing to the eye.

The main reason was that he liked the way Feng Hao spoke. It sounded comfortable to him.

"Then I'll accept it," Qian Renxue said. She truly listened to Feng Hao.

Because she believed that if Feng Hao wanted her to accept it, he surely had his reasons.

"That's more like it!" Ning Fengzhi said approvingly.

At that moment, Feng Hao also received the system reward, the Divine Farmer's Materia Medica.

The instant he obtained the book, an enormous amount of information flooded into Feng Hao's mind.

All of it concerned various immortal herbs and spirit herbs.

Among them was the black flower before him.

It was also an immortal herb. However, it was quite delicate, and without the correct method of use, it would be wasted.

Fortunately, the materia medica recorded precisely how to use this herb.

Just as Qian Renxue was about to put the box away, Feng Hao hurriedly stopped her. "Your Highness the Crown Prince, wait. I recognize this flower. I can make it last forever and continuously produce Soul Power."

I watched the match late into the night and only just finished today's first chapter. Please send some recommendation votes. I'll keep striving for five updates today!
