Douluo: Bestowing Ning Rongrong in Marriage, Reward: Heaven Shading Method

Ning Fengzhi, his face full of concern, nodded. Looking at his beautiful daughter, he turned and smiled.

"Young Master, the road ahead is full of dangers and hardships. You must be careful!"

Ye Xingchen nodded slightly, his expression calm, and smiled.

"Don't worry."

Gu Rong, standing nearby, sighed. Seeing Rongrong's smiling face, he felt somewhat relieved and said with a smile.

"Let's go. There's no need for you to meddle in the affairs of a young married couple."

"It's better to set off early. Come, I'll see you off!"

With that, Gu Rong casually slapped his hand out, releasing the powerful aura of a level 95 Titled Douluo.

Immediately afterward, a spatial portal appeared beside him.

Ye Xingchen smiled faintly and glanced back at the others before taking Ning Rongrong's hand and stepping inside.

The next second, when they opened their eyes again, they had arrived in a wilderness.

"Kid, this place is already very close to Shrek Academy!"

"I hope you won't disappoint me the next time I see you!"

Hearing the voice coming from the sky, Ye Xingchen found it somewhat boring.

He glanced around and smiled.

"Looks like we'll have to cross this forest to reach Heaven Dou City in the Balak Kingdom!"

Ning Rongrong pouted, put her hands on her hips, and raised her head.

"Grandpa Gu Rong, this is what you call close?"

When no response came from the sky, she could not help but sigh.

She looked back at the boundless forest before them and gave a bitter smile.

"On foot?"

Ye Xingchen shrugged indifferently and smiled.

"How many years would that take?"

Ning Rongrong burst into laughter, their thoughts perfectly aligned. She casually patted her storage bag.

At once, a carriage-like vehicle appeared before them.

"Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse. It costs tens of thousands of gold coins—an essential for home and travel!"

"Come on, let's get on. We should be able to leave the great forest by tomorrow!"

Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse?

Looking at the somewhat familiar vehicle before him, Ye Xingchen could not help stroking his chin.

After examining it several times, he found that this thing was still far too different from the Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse he knew.

"What are you looking at? Get on!"

"What's so interesting about this thing? It's just a piece of junk worth a few tens of thousands of gold coins."

Junk?

Hearing that, Ye Xingchen's face twitched.

He looked at the little rich girl sitting in the vehicle, helplessness appearing on his face.

With a slight push from his heel, he climbed aboard.

The moment he entered the carriage, the scenery around them changed completely.

It had been a bleak autumn outside, but now they had entered a spring where all things revived.

"Fun, right? Come hold me. I'm sleepy..."

Ning Rongrong rubbed her eyes sleepily, then burrowed into Ye Xingchen's embrace.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, she noticed some movement from the person beside her.

Looking down, she could not help feeling a trace of happiness.

"You can't even sleep peacefully. Are you planning not to rest?"

Ye Xingchen smiled indifferently. Looking at Ning Rongrong's slightly flushed pretty face, he teased.

"The road is long. I can't sleep, so you sleep..."

All traces of drowsiness gone, Ning Rongrong gave a soft snort as she looked at the handsome man before her.

She reached out with her delicate hand, hooked it around his neck, and said.

"How am I supposed to sleep with you making trouble here? Unless I were a puppet."

"Only then would I feel nothing at all..."

Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly. Looking at her crimson lips, he slowly drew closer and said.

"How could that be? Take it slow. It takes time..."

As her orchid-like fragrance washed over him, he pressed his lips against hers with wild force.

The two embraced tightly as the Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse disappeared down the path.

Deep within the great forest, a charming figure darted through the trees. As agile as a leopard, she showed no fear of the Soul Beasts in the woods.

Zhu Zhuqing!

As her speed increased, she began making small mistakes, as though someone were chasing her from behind!

"Little sister, why bother? Do you think you can run faster than me?"

Hearing the seductive voice behind her, Zhu Zhuqing's expression turned ugly.

On this journey to Shrek Academy, it was not the first time she had been attacked by her own elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun.

Seeing two large trees blocking her path, Zhu Zhuqing clenched her teeth and instinctively leaped off them with force.

With a casual wave of her hand, Soul Power spread over her body.

Just as she was about to flee swiftly, she saw a Black Shadow rushing toward her. She immediately twisted aside and dodged the strike!

"Sister, I've already given up my inheritance rights. Why must you do this!"

Zhu Zhuyun, who had closed in on her, covered her mouth and smiled. Glancing at her younger sister, she said.

"You know the rules. I'm in a difficult position too."

"Those elders said that if you aren't killed, that person may threaten the throne!"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's face turned deathly pale.

To avoid killing each other with her own sister, she had willingly withdrawn from the struggle for the family head position!

Who would have thought that, in the end, she still could not avoid being eliminated?

She sighed and said calmly.

"Come on. If I die by your hand, I accept it..."

Seeing her younger sister close her eyes and give up resisting, Zhu Zhuyun smiled slightly.

With a casual wave, a powerful burst of Soul Power belonging to a Soul Ancestor rushed forward instantly.

She immediately turned into an Afterimage as the soul skill in her hand slowly unfolded!

"Little sister, don't blame me. This is the fate of a great family..."

Fate?

It was merely a great family that disregarded blood ties!

Hearing that, two streams of tears flowed from the corners of Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

Looking at her approaching sister, she willingly waited for death!

But at that critical moment, a Cloud Pattern Long Sword silently shot toward them!

Just as Zhu Zhuyun was about to touch Zhu Zhuqing, it forced her back!

Clang...

As a piercing sword cry rang out, Zhu Zhuqing, who had closed her eyes, froze slightly.

When she opened them, she found a White-Robed Man standing before her.

From the side, she was immediately stunned by his handsome features and otherworldly temperament!

Zhu Zhuqing had seen plenty of handsome men, but she had never seen anyone this good-looking, anyone with such an extraordinary bearing!

"Who are you?"

"You dare stop me? Are you looking to die?"

Forced back by a single sword strike, Zhu Zhuyun glanced at Ye Xingchen and demanded coldly.

Seeing him dressed in white, holding a Cloud Pattern Long Sword, and possessing such an otherworldly aura, she sensed that neither his identity nor his strength was simple.

"I merely drew my sword to help when I saw injustice!"

"When will vengeance upon vengeance ever end? Leave!"

Ye Xingchen smiled indifferently and advised her.

When he had passed through this area earlier, he had sensed people fighting.

Out of curiosity, he had settled Ning Rongrong down and immediately rushed over.

When he got closer, he found that it was the Zhu Family sisters!

Zhu Zhuyun! Zhu Zhuqing!

Stunned by their beauty, he had rushed over without hesitation, sword in hand, to save the damsel in distress!

Leave?

Unable to see through the strength of the man before her, Zhu Zhuyun snorted. Her figure flashed, and she instantly transformed into a streak of Black Light that lunged toward him!

She moved like a shadow, as nimble as a cat!

"He's actually not moving..."

Standing behind Ye Xingchen, Zhu Zhuqing saw her sister attacking again, yet the White-Robed Man did not move at all.

He could not even be bothered to lift a finger. The strange sight left her bewildered.

Just who is he?

"Looking down on me? You're courting death!"

As Zhu Zhuyun closed in, she saw Ye Xingchen standing as steady as a mountain, merely watching her with a calm expression.

Humiliated and enraged, she shouted before unleashing a powerful burst of Soul Power!

Just as it was about to strike his body, she suddenly saw a great cauldron with three legs and two handles appear!

Clang...

As a piercing metallic ring sounded out, Zhu Zhuyun let out a muffled groan and was sent flying back dozens of meters!

Looking at the Cauldron Martial Soul floating above the White-Robed Man's head, she gritted her teeth and said.

"A Tool Martial Soul... You're... from the Clear Sky Sect?"

"No, the Clear Sky Sect... doesn't have such a martial soul... Could it be..."

Ye Xingchen remained unmoved as he watched Zhu Zhuyun muttering to herself.
