A Bet with Ning Rongrong, Level Thirty

"God of Agriculture, don't talk nonsense."

Xiao Ze felt somewhat helpless. Who would have thought Ning Rongrong would say something like that?

"Rongrong, don't mess around. How long have we even known each other? Even if there were feelings between us, we could only be considered friends. We're still a long way from being lovers, let alone getting married."

Xiao Ze spoke seriously.

"Oh." Ning Rongrong had only said it casually, but hearing Xiao Ze reject her still made her a little sad.

Is there really something wrong with me?

She had money, status, talent, and she was good with words.

Xiao Ze knew very clearly that his relationship with Ning Rongrong had been built through all kinds of miraculous Crops.

They were still far from genuine feelings.

Besides, Xiao Ze was only twelve years old. There was still some time before he should be thinking about romance.

Even if people on Douluo Continent matured early, he should at least be fourteen.

"Alright, we can talk about this stuff later. Besides, there are many miraculous things in this world. Some can raise Soul Power by several levels, while others can cause Martial Soul Evolution.

"Maybe your Martial Soul will evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda someday."

"Do you think I'm that stupid? If something like that existed, would our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect not know about it?" Ning Rongrong could not understand how her ancestor had become a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

"Then shall we make a bet?"

"Fine." Ning Rongrong nodded heavily.

"If I can find such a thing and make you into a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, then you..."

"I'll marry you. If you can't, then you marry me."

Ning Rongrong directly took over.

Xiao Ze did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Why do I feel like you're just after my body?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded. Ning Rongrong really did seem rather eager to get married.

"Not at all." Ning Rongrong's already rosy cheeks now took on a faint pink hue.

It gave her snow-white, delicate, supple skin a different kind of charm.

"If I marry you, it's practically the same as giving you the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Wouldn't that be an incredible bargain for you?"

Zhu Zhuqing was dumbfounded. Is that something I'm allowed to hear?

She was directly offering him a sect—one of the Upper Three Sects, no less: the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

If her father found out, would he not beat her senseless?

Ning Fengzhi: What filial devotion. So filial it would kill me.

"You really are something else. A little padded jacket with holes in it."

"Just tell me whether you're taking the bet." Ning Rongrong raised her little pink fist.

"I'm in." Xiao Ze bumped fists with her. She had practically delivered herself to his doorstep, so why would he refuse?

Xiao Ze was not exactly a good person himself.

Now that he had come to Douluo Continent, he could not possibly have only one woman. Should he not fulfill his childhood dream?

Still, he could guarantee that he would treat every girl equally.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

Xiao Ze raised his Soul Power to level thirty.

As for the Agricultural Sprites, only Yu Jin had risen to the Fine grade.

Without special resources, it was difficult to raise their quality.

Therefore, he absolutely had to obtain Immortal Herbs.

Immortal Herbs could at least raise them to the Epic grade. Once they possessed domains, it would be a tremendous improvement.

"Finally, level thirty. It's time to obtain a Soul Ring."

Xiao Ze's physique was now extremely strong. He could basically absorb any Soul Ring below Ten Thousand Year.

Xiao Ze arrived at the villa next door, which belonged to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

This was Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so there was no need to even mention the quality of its residential area.

The villa area was hidden amid lush greenery, like a paradise gently embraced by nature.

Tall trees lined both sides of the roads, while low shrubs were arranged in orderly layers.

Every villa was surrounded by a carefully designed private garden. When the breeze swept through, fragrant scents filled the air.

Everywhere displayed the tranquil beauty of nature blending with the villas.

Life here was a hundred times better than at Shrek Academy.

Knock, knock—

After a long while, the door opened.

Xiao Ze saw a somewhat groggy Ning Rongrong. She was still wearing pajamas, though her sleepwear was fairly conservative.

"Xiao Ze, what are you doing so early in the morning?"

"Come with me to obtain a Soul Ring."

"You... reached level thirty?" Ning Rongrong immediately perked up.

"Mm."

"That was so fast."

"You two aren't slow either. You both gained one level of Soul Power." Xiao Ze smiled.

"That's all thanks to your Crops. A few days ago, Dugu Yan started asking me what those Crops were. She must have noticed something."

Ning Rongrong was asking whether they should tell Dugu Yan.

"Just pretend you let it slip."

"So you really have your eyes on Dugu Yan." Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips, looking rather indignant.

Am I not prettier than Dugu Yan?

Her grandfather was a Title Douluo, and her own family had two of them.

"Nonsense. I mainly want to discuss some matters with His Excellency the Poison Douluo."

"Oh?" Although Ning Rongrong did not know exactly what Xiao Ze intended to do, he definitely had his own plans.

"I'll go get Zhu Qing."

A quarter of an hour later, Ning Rongrong emerged with Zhu Zhuqing after changing clothes.

That made Xiao Ze breathe a sigh of relief.

He had thought they would be like the girls from his previous life, taking one or two hours.

Still, girls who could cultivate on Douluo Continent would not be ugly. At the very least, they were all above passing grade.

Perhaps that was the effect of Spiritual Energy. It seemed to have some bone-cleansing, marrow-washing effect.

"How old of a Soul Beast are you planning to hunt?" Ning Rongrong asked casually.

"Anything below Ten Thousand Year will do."

The moment she heard that, Ning Rongrong broke into a violent coughing fit after choking on her own saliva.

Although Zhu Zhuqing was equally shocked, she still patted Ning Rongrong's back.

"Are you crazy?" Ning Rongrong stared at him in disbelief as he smiled.

"No. I'm completely serious."

"But other Soul Masters can only absorb a fourth Soul Ring below five thousand five hundred years." Zhu Zhuqing was also somewhat worried about Xiao Ze.

Of course, it was not because she would no longer have Crops to consume if Xiao Ze died.

As his friend, it was only natural for her to worry.

"My physique is very strong, or I wouldn't say something like that. You should know that I'm very afraid of death. I won't let myself explode from absorbing a Soul Ring."

Xiao Ze did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Really?" Ning Rongrong was still suspicious.

"Don't worry. I've been eating my own Crops since I was nine. I'm definitely stronger than you two."

Besides, what he ate was of the highest quality, completely different from what they had in their hands.

Naturally, Xiao Ze would never say that aloud.

It was not that Xiao Ze was unwilling to give them any. The most important thing was his own safety.

Even the Common-quality ones had such good effects, let alone the high-quality ones in his possession.

If those powerful figures learned about them, would he not be captured?

Before he had the ability to escape alive from a Title Douluo, it was better to remain cautious.

Only by living until the end would he be qualified to Become a God.

"Forget it. As long as you know what you're doing. Still, if your fourth Soul Ring can already be Ten Thousand Year, that's really monstrous."

"If you want to, your fourth Soul Ring might also have a chance of reaching Ten Thousand Year."

"Hm?" Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing immediately widened their eyes and stared at him.

Xiao Ze smiled and walked ahead.

"Explain yourself."
