Douluo: Betrothing Ning Rongrong, Reward: Heaven Shading Method

Mother...

Ning Rongrong's eyes reddened slightly at the unfamiliar word.

She knew how important her mother was to her father, and even more so, how special her mother was to her.

She nodded, then smiled softly.

"I understand..."

Leaving those words behind, Ning Rongrong tried to move her feet and slowly approached the Ice Coffin.

The closer she got, the rosier her cheeks became, as alluring as crimson fruit.

Looking at the Immortal lying in the Ice Coffin, who seemed to be about her age, she murmured softly,

"Fine... no matter who you are..."

Ye Xingchen lay in the Ice Coffin with a calm expression, but his mind was a mess.

He could sense that orchid-like fragrance drawing closer.

And as that warm breath washed over him, he felt like he was about to break!

Although he was in an unknown place now, and outsiders might see him as nothing more than a corpse!

Ye Xingchen knew very well that he was alive!

How could he let someone violate his pure body?

So, just as Ning Rongrong leaned in close, Ye Xingchen opened his eyes!

When he saw that the girl before him, with her eyes tightly shut, peerless features, and glossy black hair, was Ning Rongrong—

Ye Xingchen was stunned!

This was very likely the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

And those men from earlier were very likely Ning Fengzhi and the others!

Titled Douluo-level powerhouses!

Ye Xingchen swallowed and froze for a moment. Looking at the face drawing close, he panicked a little!

But at that moment, the system chimed.

"Ding! Perfect Douluo System mission activated!"

"Mission One: Refuse to kiss Ning Rongrong. Reward: Blue Silver Grass martial soul!"

"Mission Two: Accept a kiss from Ning Rongrong. Reward: Heaven Shading Method!"

Hearing the system's mission prompt, Ye Xingchen froze!

He had to choose the second one!

Everyone knew that aside from people like Tang San, who had protagonist plot armor, cultivating a martial soul like Blue Silver Grass was a joke for anyone else!

Though he was also a transmigrator, could Blue Silver Grass compare to the Heaven Shading Method?

"Ding! Mission Two selected. Please complete the mission as soon as possible!"

Ye Xingchen kept swallowing, then hardened his heart. For the system mission, he could only sacrifice himself!

Seeing Ning Rongrong draw near, he promptly leaned forward in cooperation.

"Mm..."

As a soft moan rang out, Ning Fengzhi, standing guard nearby, froze slightly before sensing that something was off with his daughter.

Just as he was about to step forward and see what had happened, Ning Rongrong suddenly lifted her head, her pretty face flushed.

She ran back in embarrassment, pointing at the Ice Coffin in a panic.

"Father... he bit my... lips..."

"And he even stuck out his... tongue..."

Ning Fengzhi's face lit up with wild joy at those words!

He glanced toward the Ice Coffin and exclaimed excitedly,

"It worked..."

Behind him, Chen Xin and Gu Rong were somewhat bewildered when they heard that.

They glanced toward the Ice Coffin, then were instantly shocked. They subconsciously summoned their martial souls and positioned themselves protectively on either side of Ning Rongrong!

The Immortal in the Ice Coffin had already sat upright, staring straight at them.

On his handsome face, a pair of eyes that seemed to contain a sea of stars gazed at them!

"Ahem... what happened..."

Pretending not to know what had occurred, Ye Xingchen coughed twice, then glanced around and asked calmly.

With the mist from the Ice Coffin swirling around him, his every movement made him seem like an Immortal descending into the mortal world!

Ning Fengzhi, standing nearby, furrowed his brow. He looked at Ye Xingchen, then clasped his hands in greeting.

"I am Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Greetings, my lord!"

Ning Fengzhi?

My lord?

Ye Xingchen froze in confusion. Seeing Ning Fengzhi actually address him as "my lord," he had no idea what was going on.

System, what's going on?

Did you arrange a hidden identity for me?

As seconds passed and the system gave no reply, Ye Xingchen became a little embarrassed.

He looked at Ning Fengzhi beside him and asked,

"The events of the past have already drifted away like clouds and smoke. Don't call me my lord..."

"Call me Xingchen, in this life..."

Ning Fengzhi, standing to the side, was slightly stunned by those words.

According to his wife, this person possessed an earth-shattering, unspeakable background and would be of tremendous help to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Moreover, only this lord knew the supreme secret art that could bring her back to life!

He looked at Ye Xingchen, who sat in the coffin like an Immortal, then turned back and said,

"Everyone, leave us!"

Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Ning Rongrong found this somewhat strange.

Yet, bound by the order, they withdrew.

Once everyone had left, Ye Xingchen, feeling a little nervous, swallowed.

Did Ning Fengzhi deliberately send everyone away because he wanted to do something to me?

As he sat distractedly in the coffin, Ning Fengzhi took two small steps back and said,

"My lord, awakening you in such haste was entirely my fault. I learned of your existence from a prophecy left behind by my late wife!"

"For this, Ning Fengzhi asks for nothing else. I only wish to ask whether you can revive my late wife, my lord?"

Late wife?

Ning Fengzhi's wife?

Though he looked calm on the surface, Ye Xingchen was panicking inside. He froze at the question.

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, he finally understood somewhat why he had appeared in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After all, he had previously been in the Demon Forest!

He also roughly understood that Ning Fengzhi had likely believed the prophecy of his mysterious wife, found him, and trusted that he possessed a method of resurrection!

But what puzzled Ye Xingchen was, who exactly was Ning Fengzhi's wife?

In the original story, she was an extremely mysterious figure who had barely appeared at all!

And yet, she had somehow calculated the arrival of him, a transmigrator!

That made Ye Xingchen's scalp tingle a little. After all, this was a world where the strong were revered, and the weak had only one path: death.

He shook his head slightly. Figuring out the identity of Ning Fengzhi's mysterious wife would be something he had to do next!

"Yes."

Ye Xingchen glanced at Ning Fengzhi with an indifferent expression and replied calmly.

After saying that, he fixed his gaze on him.

If the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect so much as frowned, it would signal that murder and robbery were about to follow.

After all, Ye Xingchen was an experienced webnovel reader. He knew that in fantasy worlds, the strong bullying the weak was perfectly normal!

On this continent where only the fittest survived and the strong ruled, the weak had no right to choose.

Ning Fengzhi, who had lowered his head slightly, immediately revealed a look of joy upon hearing this!

He knew well that reviving his late wife required nothing less than divine power.

But throughout history, how many gods had there ever been?

Even if there were any, they were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, impossible to find!

Yet Ning Fengzhi also knew how terrifying his wife's power of prophecy was. The moment he found this person, he had believed completely!

"The entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to assist my lord in becoming a god with all our strength. We only hope that my lord will not forget today's promise!"

Become a god?

Ye Xingchen froze slightly at those words, then smiled in understanding and said lightly,

"You will see a godhood..."

What a joke!

He cultivated the Heaven Shading Method!

On this continent that relied on martial souls rather than Spiritual Qi, he was the second person to cultivate immortality!

Tang San, the first transmigrator, was probably already thriving with the Tang Sect's secret techniques, wasn't he?

And he had the Heaven Shading Method. Douluo Continent was like a fish in water to him!

"Good... I will arrange accommodations for my lord at once. Also, Ning Fengzhi has an unreasonable request..."

Hearing the answer, Ning Fengzhi was overwhelmed with joy, as though the day his wife would return to life was close at hand.

Suppressing his emotions, he quickly smiled and pleaded.

An unreasonable request?

Ye Xingchen slowly stepped out of the coffin and rubbed his neck. Hearing Ning Fengzhi's question, he grew somewhat curious and asked,

"What is it?"

"It concerns my daughter..." Seeing Ye Xingchen step onto the ground, Ning Fengzhi took two steps back slightly. "If my lord does not mind, I hope my daughter can become your companion. After all, she and my lord have already shared intimate contact..."

Looking at Ning Fengzhi's hesitant manner, Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly after hearing him out.

Just as he was about to say something, the system sent another prompt.

"System mission activated."

"Mission One: Marry Ning Rongrong. Reward: Million Spiritual Qi, one random Martial Soul Lottery draw!"

"Mission Two: Refuse to marry Ning Rongrong. Reward: 100,000 Spiritual Qi, one Blue Silver Grass martial soul!"

Ye Xingchen: "..."
