Ning Rongrong

After saying that, Yuan Luo did not look at them again, but his heart churned violently.

The young man had called the white-haired middle-aged man behind him Sword Uncle, and there was also a little girl about his age. Could he have run into big shots from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

But why had they come to Notting City?

Logically speaking, he was older than Tang San. When Grandpa Jack found him, Tang San had not even arrived yet.

That meant Ning Rongrong was younger than him, and her Innate Soul Power seemed to be level nine. It would take at least a month for her to break through, so she could not have come to hunt Soul Rings.

No, it was already midyear. Ning Rongrong might have awakened her martial soul early. In the countryside, martial souls had to be awakened one person at a time, so the timing should have been later.

In a sect, one could awaken their martial soul as soon as they turned six.

Thinking of this, he could not help glancing at the little girl ahead again.

Her pupils were clear and bright, her willow-leaf brows delicately curved, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly. Her fair, flawless skin carried a faint rosy blush.

After only one glance, he quickly pulled his gaze back. Staring at someone's daughter in front of her parents—wasn't that courting death?

Very soon, the sixty skewers the young man had ordered were ready. The little girl excitedly took a lamb skewer and began eating.

The young man took out three Gold Soul Coins and handed them to Yuan Luo, gesturing as he said, "Keep the change!"

"Huh?" Yuan Luo froze for a moment. They really were rich and generous, but he shook his head and said, "No, I have to give you your change. Xiao Yue, get seven Silver Soul Coins and give them to this uncle."

Yu Yue nodded and took seven Silver Soul Coins from her little stash. Those were all the Silver Soul Coins they had; the rest were Gold Soul Coins and copper Soul Coins.

"Haha, little friend, you don't pocket money that isn't yours. Very good!"

The young man laughed, then took back the seven Silver Soul Coins.

He felt that if he did not take them back, he would be insulting Yuan Luo.

If Yuan Luo had known, he definitely would have raised both hands and feet and sung in surrender while repeating endlessly: "Ravage and humiliate me as you please!"

"Mmm! Daddy, it's so delicious!"

After taking her first bite, the little girl's eyes sparkled with stars. She could not believe such food could taste so good.

Soon, the first skewer vanished into her tiny mouth, and she immediately picked up the second.

The young man and the middle-aged man also hesitantly took a skewer each. The moment they tasted it, they looked as though they had discovered a new continent.

Before long, the little girl's mouth was glistening with oil, and only one of the sixty grilled skewers remained.

"Grandpa Sword, you can't compete with Rongrong. This last skewer is for Rongrong."

The little girl snatched up the final skewer and hid it behind her back, looking warily at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man smiled, crouched down, and said to her, "Rongrong, eating too much of this isn't good for you. Let Grandpa Sword help you eliminate this hazard."

The little girl shook her head repeatedly. At that moment, the young man also said, "Rongrong, what did Daddy teach you? When you have something, you should offer it to your elders first. Give the grilled meat to Daddy."

The little girl still shook her head. Now she had to guard against two people.

"Fengzhi, you call me Sword Uncle, so I count as your elder. Let me take care of this last skewer for you."

No doubt about it!

They really were that family from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He had not expected to run into them here.

"Daddy is so mean. Can't you just buy more? That big brother still has some!"

Ning Rongrong swiftly took it out and bit into it, then hid it behind her back again with a guarded expression.

So adorable!

That was Yuan Luo's first thought. He had not expected the young Ning Rongrong to be this cute and mischievous.

Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up. Looking at the remaining half of the skewers, he immediately asked, "Little brother, can you sell us all the rest?"

"Of course, Uncle. I'll give you a twenty percent discount."

Yuan Luo answered with a smile. He could not have been happier if someone bought everything; then he could go home early. Who wanted to work under this blazing sun?

"Good, good!"

Ning Rongrong, who had just finished the last skewer, clapped her hands in delight, her eyes filled with grilled meat.

"Little Brother, will you come sell these again tomorrow?"

Ning Rongrong looked at Yuan Luo with her beautiful wide eyes and asked expectantly.

It seemed she wanted to eat them again tomorrow. Yuan Luo had not planned to come tomorrow, but who could refuse a little loli?

"I will. I'll go back and prepare this afternoon."

"Okay."

Ning Rongrong nodded, looking utterly adorable.

Ding! Congratulations, host, for achieving the hidden accomplishment: A Titled Douluo ate food made by the host. Reward: one One-Key Eradication Card. It can eradicate any creature no more than ten levels above the host.

"Hmm? System? Damn it, you have no sense of fair play. I gave Xiao San so much delicious food—how could Tang Hao possibly not have eaten any? Why did you stay silent for six years without saying a word?"

Ding! This system is slacking off and does not wish to speak.

"You..."

"Little Brother, Little Brother, the meat is burning!"

Seeing Yuan Luo staring at her the whole time, Ning Rongrong's little face suddenly flushed. But she seemed to smell something burning, and for the sake of the food, she had no choice but to remind Yuan Luo.

"Ah! I got distracted, I got distracted!"

Linghu Hui, suddenly snapping back to reality, hurriedly turned the skewers. If he had waited any longer, they really would have burned.

After some quick work, nearly all the grilled skewers had been packed up.

"Uncle, the total is twenty-two Gold Soul Coins and five Silver Soul Coins. After the twenty percent discount, it comes to eighteen Gold Soul Coins."

While Yuan Luo grilled the skewers, Yu Yue had already counted the bill on her fingers.

"Alright, here you go!"

Ning Fengzhi took eighteen Gold Soul Coins from his Storage Bracelet and handed them to Yu Yue.

After taking the grilled skewers, the three of them left. Aside from Yuan Luo and Yu Yue, there was no one else around now. Everyone who had come earlier had been told there were no more skewers and to return tomorrow, so the crowd had dispersed.

Yuan Luo took out twenty already-grilled skewers and handed them to Yu Yue, along with one Silver Soul Coin as her wages.

It was not that he did not want to give Yu Yue more Soul Coins. After all, Yu Yue was only a five-year-old little girl, unlike him, who had the soul of a prospective college student hidden inside his body.

To avoid any possible accidents, Yuan Luo gave her only one Silver Soul Coin.

That was already quite a lot. According to the original story, Tang San's starting wage at the blacksmith shop where he worked was only one Silver Soul Coin a month.

"Xiao Yue, this is your pay. Come help Big Brother again tomorrow, okay? Big Brother will pay you every day."

After Yu Yue finished tidying up, Yuan Luo handed her the grilled skewers and the Soul Coin.

"Okay! I'll come help Big Brother again tomorrow, but Xiao Yue doesn't want money. It's enough if Big Brother gives me grilled skewers to eat."

Yu Yue did not reach out to take them for a long while. She still understood money somewhat, and she was already satisfied that Yuan Luo gave her grilled skewers to eat.

"Take it. Big Brother earned a lot today, and you helped a lot too. This isn't much. And take the grilled skewers home so your mother can have some too."

After stuffing the grilled skewers and coins into Yu Yue's hands, Yuan Luo sent her home.

He also rode the first 28-Inch Bicycle on Douluo Continent home.

On the way, Yuan Luo felt uneasy carrying so much money. He had no strength to speak of—what if someone came to rob him? Should he hire some Soul Masters to protect him?

However, the most important thing right now was to hide some money. Otherwise, Grandpa Jack, that Old Skinner, would definitely take his money again to meet Widow Wang in secret.
