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

"If you had money, you could be this reckless too. Seriously, why are you meddling in other people's business?"

Tang San, his face full of bitterness, sighed and said nothing more.

Defeated by money, he suddenly felt as though the entire world had gone dark.

Meanwhile, in the forest behind Shrek Academy.

Immovable Ming King Zhao Wuji made his way there. As that wisp of Sword Qi vanished, he slowly came to a stop.

Beneath a large tree not far away stood a silver-haired man who looked like an immortal.

At his feet lay a longsword emitting faint white light—the source of that wisp of Sword Qi.

"Who are you? Why are you provoking me?"

Zhao Wuji, whose features could not be seen clearly, shook his head and stepped forward as he questioned him.

"You are not qualified to know my name. I called you here to make sure you stop bullying the young with your seniority!"

Chen Xin, looking like an immortal, shook his head. With his face concealed, he glanced at Zhao Wuji and teased,

"Come on. Let me see just how strong the so-called Immovable Ming King Zhao Wuji really is!"

As soon as he said that, the longsword beneath Chen Xin's feet transformed into countless strands of Sword Qi that wrapped around Zhao Wuji.

"Are you the elder of those two little ones?"

"Such astonishing Sword Qi... You're a Titled Douluo..."

Feeling the powerful aura rushing toward him, Zhao Wuji immediately realized that the man before him was very likely a Titled Douluo—and a Super Douluo skilled in the sword!

"If you don't resist, you'll die..."

Chen Xin shook his head indifferently. Looking at Zhao Wuji, he showed no mercy whatsoever.

As the immense power throughout his body erupted, countless strands of Sword Qi enveloped Zhao Wuji like a spiderweb.

Cold sweat poured down Zhao Wuji's forehead as he shook his head, his heart filled with bitterness. If he had known that those two little ones had such powerful elders behind them, he never would have personally tested them.

"Senior, can't you be reasonable? I lost to him. How is that bullying the young with my seniority? He was the one bullying me!"

Chen Xin smiled slightly. Looking at the somewhat cheeky Zhao Wuji before him, he still chose not to hold back.

On the contrary, as his Soul Power continued to rise, the countless strands of Sword Qi pressed even closer.

"There's no use saying all this nonsense. Come on, let me see just how formidable your Golden Body is!"

Hearing this, embarrassment appeared on Zhao Wuji's face. Left with no other choice, he unleashed his Martial Soul and instantly used his Martial Soul Avatar.

Facing the countless strands of Sword Qi closing in from all around, he braced himself and charged forward.

Yet after just one frontal clash, his defenses were pierced by that overwhelmingly powerful Sword Qi.

Just as it was about to strike his vital point, the Sword Qi melted away like ice and snow, vanishing in an instant.

"If I ever see you bullying the young with your seniority again, I'll make sure you die miserably!"

As an ethereal voice drifted over, Zhao Wuji's emotions became complicated. Looking at the figure that had already vanished, he sighed softly.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, he noticed Flender suddenly walking out from behind a large tree.

Zhao Wuji froze in confusion, then hurried over and asked,

"Flender, so you were nearby all along. Why didn't you help me just now?"

"I nearly died here! You really are a terrible brother!"

Flender smiled indifferently. Looking at Zhao Wuji, whose forehead was dripping with cold sweat, he teased,

"I knew he had no intention of killing you, so why would I interfere?"

"I suppose that was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sword Douluo. He's only getting stronger!"

Sword Douluo?

Hearing Flender say this, Zhao Wuji could not help breaking out in a cold sweat. He shook his head and sighed.

"Good heavens, every one of these little monsters has quite the background this year. I'd better put more effort into teaching them from now on!"

"Having a Titled Douluo watching me from behind is truly terrifying!"

Flender folded his arms and smiled. After receiving the letter from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he had also been greatly surprised.

But after seeing the White-Robed Man's display, he suddenly felt that this might be Shrek Academy's opportunity!

"Work hard. These little ones are all excellent seedlings. If you fail to train them properly, I'm afraid you won't be able to answer for it either!"

Zhao Wuji nodded bitterly, then followed Flender's departing figure away.

Inside the academy dormitory, Ye Xingchen sat cross-legged on the bed with a calm expression. As the Spiritual Power and Soul Power within his body steadily recovered, his complexion gradually improved as well.

Ning Rongrong, who was sitting nearby with a large pile of snacks and fruit she had bought, immediately stepped forward with a smile when she saw Ye Xingchen open his eyes.

"Goodness, it's been nearly four hours. You must have used up almost all the power in your body this time, right?"

Ye Xingchen nodded unconcernedly. He reached out and touched Ning Rongrong's fair chin, teasing,

"Did you miss me after not seeing me for such a short while?"

She slowly buried her head in his chest and said with a smile,

"No, it's just that you looked so tired today, and I felt a little sorry for you. I bought you lots of food. See if there's anything you want to eat."

Ye Xingchen glanced at the food on the table and shook his head slightly.

With the Heaven Shading Method, all the injuries in his body could slowly recover on their own through circulation, much less such superficial wounds.

"I remember you once said that once I had two Soul Rings, you would give yourself to me!"

Ning Rongrong, with her head buried in Ye Xingchen's chest, blushed slightly upon hearing this, and her body trembled.

Yet despite her extreme shyness, she did not resist and instead tacitly agreed.

"It's already dark. What's the point of saying such things to me now?"

"We still have training tomorrow... you..."

Before she could finish, Ning Rongrong discovered that her cherry lips had been sealed.

Seeing the handsome face drawing close, a happy smile appeared on her face.

She immediately leaned into him, and the lights in the room slowly dimmed.

Meanwhile, in the other girls' dormitory, Zhu Zhuqing stared distractedly at the moon outside the window, her heart filled with unease.

It was not because she felt uneasy in this unfamiliar environment. Rather, it was the first time she had felt unsettled by the absence of that guy at her side.

"Zhu Zhuqing, I feel like something is off with you. Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Do you need my help?"

Xiao Wu, seeing Zhu Zhuqing's anxious appearance, immediately stepped forward and asked.

"Xiao Wu, I'm fine. I just feel a little irritated."

Irritated?

Hearing Zhu Zhuqing say that, Xiao Wu realized that she too felt somewhat irritated.

For some reason, ever since she met that guy—especially after he exposed her identity—

she felt as though her greatest secret no longer existed. It was as if, in that person's eyes, she was standing there without any clothes on.

"I'm feeling a little irritated too, Zhu Zhuqing. Have you ever met someone who leaves you distracted and uneasy?"

Zhu Zhuqing could not help freezing slightly at those words.

That guy's figure immediately appeared in her mind, making her feel even more irritated.

Still, she turned back to look at Xiao Wu and asked calmly,

"You have the same troubles too? Aren't you together with that blue-robed guy?"

Xiao Wu shook her head calmly. If it had been in the past, she would have told everyone without hesitation that Third Brother was everything to her.

But ever since meeting that guy, her feelings for Third Brother had long since vanished.

"He's only my brother. There's no other kind of relationship between us!"

Zhu Zhuqing folded her arms and smiled. She turned to look at the moon outside the window and shook her head.

"But I can tell that the guy named Tang San seems to like you very much. If he finds out that you don't like him, he'll probably be very hurt."

Xiao Wu smiled helplessly. Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, she teased lightly,

"This kind of thing isn't something you can joke about. If one day you meet someone you like, you'll also find those who like you uninteresting."

Hearing that, Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement. She turned to look at Xiao Wu and said with a smile,

"It seems we get along quite well. You're my friend now!"

As the night deepened and lights began to glow, Ye Xingchen held the exhausted Ning Rongrong in the dim dormitory. He glanced at the moon outside and felt slightly at ease.

Gently stroking her fair back, he smiled and teased,

"Looks like our little witch is tired..."

Hearing the whisper in her ear, Ning Rongrong's pretty face reddened. She gave a soft snort and lightly pounded Ye Xingchen's shoulder with her tiny fist.

"Go to sleep... I'm so tired..."

Ye Xingchen shook his head calmly and flicked his hand. A stream of Spiritual Power slowly flowed into Ning Rongrong's body.

Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful face lying beside him, he held her tightly and smiled.

"Sleep. I won't tease you anymore, you tormenting little enchantress!"

Early the next morning, Dai Mubai arrived outside the dormitory carrying a carefully prepared breakfast. He gave a light cough and was just about to knock when he discovered that the door opened by itself.

Xiao Wu then walked out. Seeing Dai Mubai standing before her, she asked doubtfully,

"What are you doing here? Isn't this the girls' dormitory?"

Dai Mubai smiled calmly. He secretly glanced inside and asked with a smile,

"Have you seen Zhu Zhuqing? I brought her breakfast!"

Breakfast?

Xiao Wu froze for a moment. She looked at Dai Mubai, then said disdainfully,

"Looks like our senior really is a born flirt. The new junior sister has only been here a few days, and you're already so impatient to confess?"

Dai Mubai sighed helplessly, not knowing how to explain their relationship.

But he knew that if he did not make an effort for this relationship now, this beauty would likely fall into someone else's arms.

"Don't worry about it. Can you help me pass along a message? Please?"

Hearing Dai Mubai say this, Xiao Wu smiled, took the breakfast, and walked inside.

Who would have thought that a sharp rebuke would come from within, followed by the cake flying straight back out.

If Dai Mubai had not dodged quickly, he would have been hit.

"What do you mean by this? I already told you, we don't have that kind of relationship. Don't come here anymore. I don't have feelings for you!"

Zhu Zhuqing then walked out, glanced at Dai Mubai, and said coldly with her arms crossed.

Dai Mubai smiled bitterly when he heard that. He scratched his head and teased,

"Qing, don't be like this, okay? We have a marriage contract!"

"I liked you from the very first moment I saw you. Now that you've come to Shrek Academy, isn't this the perfect chance for us to spend time together?"

Zhu Zhuqing, cold-faced and curvaceous, shook her head as she looked at the arrogant Dai Mubai before her, whom she found rather annoying.
