A Good Son-in-Law

Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, and Ning Fengzhi, who had been eavesdropping outside, all felt as though someone had trampled the cabbages they had raised with such care.

Ning Fengzhi listened to the sounds inside and almost completely lost his composure.

"This brat..."

Ning Fengzhi had just wanted to push the door open when Sword Douluo Chen Xin stopped him. "If you open the door now, what will Rongrong think?"

"Fengzhi, you agreed to this boy's request, so you should honor your promise. Besides, this was bound to happen sooner or later."

"Ugh, old Bone, it's all your fault. If you weren't so useless, how could Rongrong have ended up doing this?"

"You old man, are you bullying me? You're putting all the blame on me, aren't you? Weren't you the same? A dignified level ninety-seven Titled Douluo was actually defeated by a mere Soul Ancestor. I'm embarrassed for you just thinking about it."

"Old Bone, are you asking for a beating?"

"You think I don't dare beat you?"

Ning Fengzhi listened to Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong bicker, feeling as though his head had swollen to twice its size.

As Titled Douluo, they were both rivals and close friends. Although they were extremely powerful and had an excellent relationship, they still had to get into a minor squabble every day.

"Uncles Sword and Bone, enough, you two."

Ning Fengzhi's words finally made the two of them stop. They wished they could kill Bai Ying on the spot, but they were afraid Ning Rongrong would be heartbroken, so they could only leave angrily.

Inside the room, Bai Ying sensed that the people outside had left and finally let out a sigh of relief.

"What are you nervous about?" Ning Rongrong asked in confusion.

"Your father was just outside the door?"

"What?" Ning Rongrong's eyes flew open, and she quickly stood up, wanting to go outside and see whether it was true. Before she could move, however, Bai Ying said, "They've already left. They seem to be angry."

"The daughter he painstakingly raised was trampled by a pig like me. If it were any father, wouldn't he be angry?"

Ning Rongrong giggled. "At least you have some self-awareness."

"Are you saying I'm a pig? Fine, how dare you insult me? Looks like you still have some energy left."

Ning Rongrong shuddered violently at those words. Whenever Bai Ying said something like that, she felt that something terrible was about to happen.

Ning Rongrong instinctively tried to run, only to suddenly discover that Bai Ying had her wrist clutched tightly.

Bai Ying's sinister laughter came from behind her. "What's wrong? Does my little enchantress still want to run? Looks like you're not tired enough."

With a sharp tug, he pulled Ning Rongrong into his arms. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have insulted you."

Ning Rongrong looked at Bai Ying and pleaded timidly.

"Too late."

In the silent darkness of the night, Ning Rongrong's pleas for mercy and excited cries rang out.

The next morning.

Congratulations, Host, on signing in and obtaining one God-Bestowed Spirit Ring.

"The God-Bestowed Spirit Ring looks pretty good."

Bai Ying sighed. Today truly was a beautiful day.

He turned to look at Ning Rongrong, who was still sleeping soundly beside him. Her body was covered in fragrant sweat, a testament to how intense their battle had been the night before.

"I have to say, conquering this little enchantress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect feels unbelievably good."

"According to the original story, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the Tang Sect's biggest customer. Now that I've snatched the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect away, I want to see how the Tang Sect will appear."

Ning Rongrong slowly woke up. The moment she saw Bai Ying, her body began trembling uncontrollably. It was an instinctive reaction.

"Rongrong, having you is truly my good fortune."

Ning Rongrong couldn't help saying, "You big bad guy, big bad guy."

As she spoke, her small pink fists began pounding against Bai Ying's chest.

Bai Ying caught her little fists, gently kissed her forehead, and said with a smile, "I know I'm a bad guy, but it's only with you that I can find my true self."

Ning Rongrong's face flushed at those words. She glared at Bai Ying and said coquettishly, "You big bad guy, you only know how to sweet-talk me."

Bai Ying smiled and said nothing more.

He took Ning Rongrong by the hand, and the two of them walked out of the room together.

The morning sunlight fell upon them, making them look especially warm.

They arrived in the courtyard, where Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong were already waiting.

When they saw the two of them walk out hand in hand, complicated expressions appeared on their faces.

"Rongrong, you're both still children. Wasn't this a little too rushed?"

Ning Rongrong and Bai Ying naturally understood what he meant. Ning Rongrong immediately let go of Bai Ying's hand, her face turning bright red.

She walked to Ning Fengzhi's side and said, "Dad, you just love teasing me."

Ning Fengzhi rubbed his daughter's hair. "All right, Dad won't say anything more. Rongrong, don't be willful from now on, and don't make Bai Ying angry."

"I know, Dad."

Ning Fengzhi walked over to Bai Ying. "Although I don't want to admit it, you're the first person Rongrong has liked. Regardless, as her father, I hope she can be happy."

"Don't worry. I'll treat her well. Actually, there's one more thing I'd like to discuss with you."

"What is it? Go ahead."

"The leave we took this time has lasted too long. We should return to the academy."

"When do you plan to leave?"

"Today. Most of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's matters have already been dealt with. The appearance of Soul Engineers will definitely allow the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to shine with new brilliance. No, it should be called the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School now."

"That's right, Dad. We've been away from the academy for too long. We have to go back," Ning Rongrong added.

Ning Fengzhi glanced at his daughter and sighed.

"This is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's gold card. There isn't that much in it, but it's still a considerable fortune. I'm giving it to you."

"I can't accept this. It's not as though I have no money. Uncle Ning, I really can't take it."

"This is what you deserve for helping our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Also, what did you just call me?"

"I just didn't react in time. I'm sorry."

Bai Ying took a deep breath, then said, "Dad."

Ning Fengzhi's face immediately broke into a broad smile. He patted Bai Ying on the shoulder and said, "Good son-in-law."

After Bai Ying accepted the card, Ning Rongrong finally let out a sigh of relief.

"By the way, this manual is called Tai Chi Divine Skill. It's a cultivation technique. Dad, try cultivating it."

As he spoke, he took out the cultivation manual.

Ning Fengzhi nodded, then sat on the ground and began cultivating. When he first circulated a complete cycle, he felt the Soul Power within his body faintly showing signs of surging violently.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong likewise sensed the disturbance in Ning Fengzhi's Soul Power and were deeply shocked.

Bai Ying nodded and said, "You two should try cultivating it as well."

The three of them fell into a state of cultivation.

When they opened their eyes, they felt that they had all improved noticeably. Sword Douluo Chen Xin in particular could clearly sense that he was only one step away from reaching level ninety-eight.

"If this technique is cultivated to its peak, it will be enough to give the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect the power to protect itself. Combined with the Soul Tools and Soul Engineers I left behind, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's problems have been completely solved."

Ning Fengzhi immediately decided to have the technique copied.

Then, all the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect began cultivating it.

"It's been so long since I've returned to the academy. I really do miss everyone."

Ning Rongrong snorted coldly. "I think you don't miss the academy. You miss Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu instead. Isn't having me enough? You really are a womanizer."

Bai Ying said, "I didn't say anything. That's just your guess. Those weren't my words."

Ning Rongrong laughed when she heard that. "They say that a woman follows her husband wherever he goes. I understand now. I married a pig."
