Douluo: Bestowed Marriage to Ning Rongrong, Reward: Heaven Shading Method

Martial Soul: Nether Lightning Leopard!

Ning Rongrong, who had deployed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's defense, gave a soft snort just as the Nether Lightning Leopard lunged at her.

A burst of seven-colored radiance suddenly flashed before her, followed by a dull bang!

"As expected of Princess Rongrong. You really are impressive!"

The Blonde Man behind her smiled, still showing no intention of making a move.

With his arms folded, he swept his gaze across the surroundings, remaining secretly wary of their vanished companion.

"Offending me means offending the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

"Don't let me catch you, hmph!"

Glancing at the White-Bearded Old Man as he lunged at her again, Rongrong snorted, not daring to let down her guard in the slightest.

All the Soul Power in her body instantly flowed into her hands and feet!

With her speed, strength, and defense all enhanced, she immediately retreated a hundred meters to the lakeside!

The White-Bearded Old Man, charging forward recklessly, smiled as a powerful aura belonging to a Soul King instantly erupted from him!

Looking at the little girl before him, he said:

"Can you retreat again...?"

"I bet you don't have any Soul Power left to use, do you?"

Ning Rongrong, backed against the lakeside, smiled faintly and crooked a finger at him.

"Old dog, come over here if you've got the guts!"

"If you can catch me, I'll admit you're impressive!"

After tossing out those words, Ning Rongrong patted the Storage Pouch at her waist!

A colorful object resembling a sailboat appeared on the lake's surface!

Seeing this, the Blonde Man said gravely:

"That's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Rainbow Ship. It's incredibly fast!"

"We can't let her keep escaping..."

Hearing his young master's orders, the White-Bearded Old Man nodded.

Looking at Ning Rongrong standing by the lake, he instinctively felt that something was off.

But considering his Level 53 Soul King strength, he charged forward without hesitation!

In an instant, five Soul Rings appeared before him!

With a casual wave of his hand, the Nether Lightning Leopard behind him immediately let out a roar!

Illusionary Sound Wave!

Seeing the old man rush toward her, Ning Rongrong secretly rejoiced.

Glancing at the water's surface, her delicate body began to tremble slightly.

Especially when the sonic attack came at her, she instinctively deployed her defenses to block it.

Yet she discovered that a warm, gentle force had already drawn close around her body!

Clang!

The next second, an ear-piercing metallic crash rang out!

The White-Bearded Old Man, blasted back dozens of meters, froze briefly before looking at the water in astonishment!

In the middle of the lake, a small black dot slowly emerged!

Visible to the naked eye, a white-robed figure stood atop that black dot, quietly watching the two of them!

"Xuanwu..."

"A juvenile form. No wonder you insisted on staying in the water..."

With her arms folded, Rongrong turned around and saw the ferocious Xuanwu, roughly the size of a small hill.

She could not help rubbing her chin and sighing softly!

"So you were hiding in the water..."

"Hiss... interesting..."

Seeing this from the shore, the Blonde Man clapped and stepped forward with a smile.

"Fine. We can deal with both of you at once!"

Standing atop Xuanwu's back, Ye Xingchen looked calm. As he watched the two before him, he felt that they were somewhat troublesome.

On the way here, he had noticed more than once that someone was following them.

After secretly investigating several times, he confirmed that someone had indeed been tailing them!

As for who it was, he had no idea.

However, he chose to tell Rongrong about this directly.

After all, this was the Soul Beast Forest. Highway robbery and murder for loot were far too common here.

So, after discussing it, the two had set up this well-prepared defense.

The only surprise was that the enemies seemed to be a little too powerful!

"A Soul King—can you handle him?"

While he was distracted, Rongrong, who had been standing by the lake, jumped onto Xuanwu's back and asked.

"It'll be difficult. Their timing was rather unfortunate!"

"I didn't hold back when dealing with this guy..."

With a bitter smile, Ye Xingchen spread his hands and said, "I was just about to absorb the Soul Ring when they showed up!"

Upon hearing this, Rongrong's expression immediately fell.

She sighed and said, "It seems that today, the two of us will die here together as husband and wife!"

"What a fitting scene for a pair of ill-fated lovers!"

"But after absorbing the Soul Ring, can you beat them?"

Seeing the mischievous Rongrong ask this, Ye Xingchen felt a trace of confusion.

This mixed-blood Xuanwu Soul Ring was exactly three hundred years old, making it perfectly suited for him to absorb.

If he absorbed his first Soul Ring, his previous losses would instantly recover!

With the Soul Ring's power added to his perfected Wheel Sea Divine Bridge, while he had no guarantee of defeating these people, he could at least ensure that he would remain undefeated!

"We can try, but can you withstand a Soul King's attacks?"

Hearing Ye Xingchen's question, a playful look appeared on Rongrong's face.

She gave a slight cough, glanced at the Blonde Man and the White-Bearded Old Man, and said, "I'm Princess Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even trash like him needs to bring a Soul King when he goes out!"

"At my level, shouldn't I have a Titled Douluo following me?"

"Isn't that right, Grandpa Chen Xin?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a sigh echoed around the lake.

Immediately afterward, streams of Sword Qi instantly enveloped the entire area.

The White-Bearded Old Man, who stood dumbfounded in place, swallowed hard. Upon sensing that powerful aura, he instantly panicked!

"A Titled Douluo..."

"Elder Chen Xin, level 97..."

The Blonde Man's expression turned slightly cold. Seeing a Titled Douluo appear, his body began trembling uncontrollably.

Suppressing his fear, he gritted his teeth and said, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is truly formidable. To think they would have a Titled Douluo accompany Princess Rongrong—I am impressed!"

As soon as he spoke, the cry of a sword suddenly rang out!

A terrifying pressure belonging to a level 97 Titled Douluo instantly spread through the area!

Unable to endure it any longer, the Blonde Man and the White-Bearded Old Man immediately fell to their knees!

The next second, amid the falling snow, Elder Chen Xin descended from the sky with a head of silver hair!

He glanced at the two of them, thinking that he had not come along merely because of Rongrong. More importantly, it was because of that person!

After all, he had once promised to serve as a guardian!

"Grandpa Chen Xin..."

"I knew you loved Rongrong the most, hehehe!"

Looking at Grandpa Chen Xin as he descended from the sky, dimples appeared on Rongrong's cheeks. She immediately ran over and said, "These two bullies are picking on us newlyweds. You can't let them off!"

Newlyweds?

Hearing that even Rongrong's form of address had changed, Chen Xin's face twitched.

He coughed lightly, glanced at Ye Xingchen, and said, "What do you think?"

Standing on Xuanwu's back, Ye Xingchen pondered briefly before turning his gaze toward the Golden-Haired Man and his companion.

This sent a wave of shock through the master and servant, especially the Blonde Man!

He had originally thought this guy was merely Rongrong's companion.

But seeing Titled Douluo Chen Xin's attitude now, this man's identity was definitely far from simple!

Hiss...

The Blonde Man sucked in a sharp breath. The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became. He immediately said:

"This is all a misunderstanding. My father is Ci Xue. Elder Chen Xin, please show mercy!"

"If Elder is willing to let bygones be bygones, I am willing to offer ten times the compensation!"

Ci Xue?

A level 92 Titled Douluo?

Ye Xingchen, dressed in white, smiled faintly and glanced at the Blonde Man.

He has quite the backing, and he's not stupid either. He actually knows to rely on his father!

"So what?"

"If Ci Xue comes, kill him too!"

Chen Xin remained utterly unmoved upon hearing this, his expression calm.

Those brief words caused cold sweat to bead across the Blonde Man's forehead!

He had thought that once he brought up his father, this Titled Douluo would surely show mercy.

But now, it seemed he had been overthinking things!

This man was not afraid of his father at all!

"Elder Chen Xin, we are all elders of Spirit Hall. Please show mercy!"
