"He had a Silver-haired Woman with him too, and she was devastatingly beautiful."
"She stayed silent the whole time, cold as ice. Like his guard, she stood behind him the entire time."
"Some fools tried to go chat her up, but she only had to glance at them once to scare them away."
"The whole shop got freakishly cold back then, which is why I remember it so clearly!"
After finishing, the Boss cautiously looked at Ning Rongrong's expression.
Ning Rongrong stood there blankly.
The expression on her delicate little face was truly Exciting.
Her initial anticipation turned into shock, then finally into complete stupefaction.
After a long while, she finally opened her mouth with difficulty, her voice dry.
"Tw... two?"
"And both of them... super beautiful?"
"...They came with him?"
The Boss nodded honestly. "Yes, especially beautiful. I've never seen women that pretty in my life."
"That guy even had his arm around the Golden-haired Beauty's waist."
"And the Golden-haired Beauty peeled grapes for him. They looked incredibly intimate."
"..."
Ning Rongrong fell completely silent.
It felt as though someone had viciously stabbed her in the heart, with a barbed blade at that.
She had been unable to eat or sleep, worried that he might not be eating or sleeping well out there. She had even worried that someone might have harmed him.
And what was he doing?
Holding one woman on each side!
One fed him grapes! The other acted as his guard!
He was living better than an emperor!
What the hell had she been doing all this for?
Seeing his granddaughter so deeply shaken, Chen Xin could not help sighing inwardly.
He shook his head, thinking that she should finally give up now, right?
That brat was obviously a shameless womanizer, always surrounded by Beauties.
How could he possibly be worthy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's little Princess?!
"Rong Rong..."
Just as Chen Xin was about to offer a few words of comfort and tell the girl to hurry home, Ning Rongrong suddenly raised her head. Her Big Eyes, which had been filled with disappointment, now blazed with raging flames.
She clenched her pearly teeth and forced out the words through them. "You Bastard!"
"I want to see just what kind of vixen made you forget about me!"
With that, she grabbed the portrait and stormed out in a huff.
"Let's go, Grandpa Sword! Even if we have to turn Heaven Dou City upside down, we'll find him!"
"I'm going to demand an explanation from him face-to-face!"
Chen Xin: "..."
Watching his granddaughter's determination to find him no matter what, Chen Xin helplessly rubbed his forehead.
Shouldn't this girl have been heartbroken and gone home?
Why had her competitive spirit been provoked instead?
Dark Night Arena, treatment room.
A faint, pleasant floral fragrance filled the room.
Monka, who had just stepped down from the arena, the man known as the Berserker, sat obediently in a chair.
A claw wound deep enough to expose bone ran across his back, still oozing blood. His flesh was torn and curled outward, making it look painfully gruesome.
"Endure it a little. It might feel a bit itchy."
A gentle voice, like a spring breeze, rang out. A Girl in a pale yellow dress walked over.
She had rare Crimson long hair, simply gathered behind her head, with several strands hanging by her ears.
Her delicate face carried an indescribable gentleness and grace, with a faint smile on her lips.
Anyone who saw her felt warmth fill their heart.
She was Jiang Zhu, Dark Night Arena's full-time healer.
"First Soul Skill: Healing Aura."
Jiang Zhu gently raised the scepter in her hand, and a soft white light fell upon Monka's back.
Monka felt a warm sensation spread across his back as the piercing pain gradually faded.
The vicious wound began to scab over at a visible rate.
"All done."
Jiang Zhu put away her scepter and smiled gently. "Try not to make any big movements for the next two days."
At that moment, Monka, a man who never blinked while killing, hurriedly stood up and nervously rubbed his large hands together.
"Miss Jiang Zhu, I trouble you every time. Thank you so much!"
As he spoke, he took an exquisitely wrapped little gift box from his Soul Tool and offered it to her with both hands.
"This... is a small token of my appreciation!"
"I bought some pastries in the city. I heard girls all like them. I hope you don't mind!"
Jiang Zhu froze for a moment, then accepted it with both hands, a delighted expression appearing on her face.
"Wow! Is this that famous osmanthus cake?"
"Thank you, Mr. Monka. You really are a very good person."
Hearing Jiang Zhu's words, Monka felt as though his bones had turned weightless.
Dazed, he scratched the back of his head and wore a foolish grin as he floated out of the treatment room.
In the treatment room corridor.
A group of fierce-looking contestants, each radiating murderous intent, were lined up there as well.
"Can't the people up front hurry up? Once you're healed, get the hell out!"
"What are you rushing for? In such a hurry to reincarnate?"
These people normally fought in the arena with their lives on the line.
Each had a worse temper than the last. Since fighting was forbidden outside the arena, they could only spit insults at one another, their mouths full of filthy curses.
However.
When Monka emerged from the treatment room looking blissfully happy.
The scar-faced Soul Ancestor next in line instantly underwent a complete one-eighty from his previously irritated expression.
He straightened his clothes and put on an honest, simple smile.
Then he gently pushed open the door and slipped inside.
"Miss Jiang Zhu, sorry to trouble you..."
The newcomer who had just joined the Duel Arena stared blankly at this scene from nearby.
He looked at an old hand beside him and asked with a confused expression, "Wh... what's going on?"
"These guys looked like they wanted to kill someone just now, but the moment they enter that room..."
"They all act like little virgins falling in love for the first time?"
The old hand shot him a look that said, What the hell do you know?
Then, with a look of worship and longing, he said, "Kid."
"The one sitting in there is the goddess unanimously recognized by every contestant in our Dark Night Arena! Miss Jiang Zhu!"
"Not only can she heal the wounds on our bodies, she can purify our souls too!"
As he spoke, the old hand actually clutched his chest, his face filled with intoxication.
"Every time I go in for treatment, seeing her gentle smile and hearing her soft words of comfort..."
"I seriously want to cry. Even someone like me, with blood all over my hands, gets treated gently by her. She never looks down on me!"
"At that moment, I feel like all the rotten things I did in the past have been redeemed!"
"I swear to protect Miss Jiang Zhu's smile with my life!"
As soon as he said this.
The surrounding Big Men, who had looked so fierce before, all nodded in unison, their faces full of agreement.
"That's right! Whoever dares disrespect my Miss Jiang Zhu, I'll tear him apart alive!"
"Miss Jiang Zhu is the only light in our hearts!"
The newcomer's mouth fell open. What the hell is wrong with you villains?!
Just then.
The sky outside suddenly changed color!
"Bzzzz!!!"
The enormous Heavenly Curtain trembled once more, illuminating the world with Golden Light.
People everywhere raised their heads again, eagerly awaiting the next peerless beauty to make the Ranking List.
"The Ranking List updated again!"
"Could it be another one from that Dark Night Arena?"
"You're dreaming! That tiny place already had two. Their ancestral graves must be smoking!"
"How could there possibly be a third?!"
However, the next second.
When the Golden Light faded and clear words appeared in the sky.
Heaven Dou City, and indeed the entire continent, fell silent once more.
