Douluo: Bestowed Marriage Upon Ning Rongrong, Rewarded with Heaven Shading Method

"If you don't have any Soul Rings, then tonight I'll spend our wedding night with you in the bridal chamber!"

Unfazed, Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly and snapped his fingers. The Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul immediately appeared above his head.

He glanced at Rongrong, whose mouth had formed an O, and said with a wry smile:

"See? I didn't lie to you. I really don't have any Soul Rings. I haven't even reached level ten as a Soul Master."

Frozen in place, Ning Rongrong clenched and unclenched her hands as she stared at the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul before her, her mind utterly blank!

Her first impression of the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul was that it was also an auxiliary-type martial soul.

But after sensing that dense, imposing aura, she dismissed that thought.

She could only feel that this martial soul was far from ordinary. It was very likely a top-tier martial soul with astonishing defensive power!

For an auxiliary-type fighter like her, having such a martial soul protect her would be like a fish taking to water!

But when Rongrong saw that the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul did not possess a single Soul Ring, her face immediately turned pale!

No Soul Rings meant that he had yet to step into the higher realms of a Soul Master!

She swallowed and stared at the man before her, demanding:

"Are you even human, or are you a Soul Beast?"

"You can rival a Soul Elder without any Soul Rings. You're practically a monster!"

A monster?

Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly, glanced at Ning Rongrong, and smiled.

"That isn't important. Didn't we agree that if I had no Soul Rings, we'd spend our wedding night in the bridal chamber?"

"Are you going back on your word?"

Hearing that, Ning Rongrong's face reddened!

Looking at the man before her, she felt both helpless and somewhat annoyed.

With a sigh, she clenched her pearly teeth and said:

"Come on, then. A promise is a promise!"

After tossing out those words, Ning Rongrong immediately shut her eyes tightly and stood motionless where she was.

Her graceful figure was visibly trembling.

With his arms folded, Ye Xingchen smiled faintly and slowly stepped closer.

As his dense aura bore down on her, Rongrong's delicate body began to tremble even more fiercely.

It was as though some primordial beast was about to devour her alive.

Amid her nervous feelings of vague fear and faint anticipation, Ning Rongrong only felt a light breeze brush past her. Then... there was no then.

She turned back to look at his departing figure and could not help but freeze slightly.

She felt relieved, yet also a little disappointed...

In the side room, Ye Xingchen remained calm. Glancing at the room behind him as its lights went out, he smiled faintly.

Though he had known Rongrong for only a short time, the girl still did not truly know him.

Obtaining her through the restraints of a marriage agreement was not the feeling he wanted.

Letting out a long breath, Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly before falling into a deep sleep...

The next morning, at dawn!

Ning Fengzhi arrived outside the back courtyard early in the morning. Looking at the gate before him, he did not dare enter for a long while.

Under normal circumstances, he would have gone in long ago to wake his daughter and have her train.

But today... today was not a suitable day for a man like him to enter!

He sighed and could not help thinking once more of Rongrong's mother.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, the door slowly opened, and Ye Xingchen, dressed in white, stepped out.

The moment he emerged after stretching lazily, he saw Ning Fengzhi standing there.

He paused slightly, then nodded with a smile.

"Greetings, Sect Master. You're here so early?"

Somewhat awkwardly, Ning Fengzhi nodded. Looking at Ye Xingchen before him, he smiled.

"Not early, not early. Last night... did you sleep well?"

Seeing Ning Fengzhi hesitating and struggling to speak, Ye Xingchen almost burst out laughing.

He coughed lightly and said:

"Quite well, quite well. Rongrong should still be sleeping soundly."

"I got up intending to take a casual walk and get some fresh air."

A walk?

Feeling slightly puzzled, Ning Fengzhi blanked for a moment and looked at Ye Xingchen before him.

They say a night of spring is worth a thousand gold. Back then, I was worked half to death too—I didn't even have the strength to get out of bed the next day!

But this fellow in front of him looked remarkably vigorous, as though he had far too much energy.

Ning Fengzhi sucked in a breath and nodded slightly. Suddenly worried about his daughter inside, he hurriedly said with a smile:

"Just take a walk around this way. There are plenty of people, and it'll also help you get familiar with the surroundings!"

"I'll go inside and take a look first... Why is that girl still sleeping..."

Watching him hurry into the room, Ye Xingchen shook his head and headed in the other direction.

Inside the room, Rongrong sat before the dressing table with a miserable expression. Looking at her haggard reflection in the mirror, she seemed somewhat dejected.

After that guy had moved out to sleep last night, she had thought he would come back.

After all, she had learned quite a bit about matters between men and women.

Yet after waiting for half the night, there had not been the slightest movement.

Looking at the two dark circles beneath her eyes, she felt rather gloomy.

At the same time, she began to wonder if that guy simply did not like her.

Full of doubts, Rongrong shook her head. Just as she was about to get up and go outside to take a look—

Footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by Ning Fengzhi barging in, worried sick over his daughter.

The moment he entered, he saw Rongrong sitting before the dressing table, looking haggard with two dark circles under her eyes.

Unable to bear it, he said:

"Rongrong, you've worked hard. Your father has some Vitality Pills here—hurry and take one."

"It'll be good for your body. Sigh, that fellow clearly isn't the type to care for his wife."

Hearing her father's endless rambling, Ning Rongrong's face reddened all the way down to her neck.

After her father finished speaking, she muttered softly:

"Father, what are you talking about?"

"Your daughter is still a virgin!"

A virgin?

Ning Fengzhi, who had been rambling on, froze when he heard those words.

After carefully examining his daughter a few times, he indeed found that aside from her somewhat haggard face, her spiritual vigor did not seem depleted at all!

"Cough, cough... What's going on here..."

"Rongrong... Could it be that you two..."

Before he could finish, Ning Rongrong directly cut him off.

"Don't concern yourself with this. Your daughter has her own way!"

"That guy is strange, anyway..."

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly. Since his daughter had said so, it was not appropriate for him to say anything more.

Still, he was indeed rather surprised—or perhaps confused—by the fact that the man had not touched his daughter.

At the Inner Disciple plaza of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ye Xingchen smiled as he looked at the radiant sky, the spiritual energy-filled grounds, and the bustling crowds before him.

Having not seen so many people in a long time, he felt a long-lost sense of familiarity.

At the same time, he gained a direct impression of one of the three great sects of the Douluo Continent.

"Who is that guy? I don't think I've ever seen him before. He's so handsome!"

"So handsome! Those white clothes make him look so ethereal. Is he a new Inner Disciple?"

"He went to the Training Room. Let's go take a look too—he's so handsome!"

The Training Room?

As Ye Xingchen wandered around aimlessly, his good looks attracted the attention of many female disciples.

From their chatter, he learned that the place at the end of this path was where people trained.

Somewhat interested, he immediately strode forward!

In the shadows, Gu Rong stood with his arms crossed, quietly watching everything.

He turned and glanced at the Inner Disciple kneeling on the ground, then said flatly:

"See that? That's the cocky guy!"

"He doesn't have any Soul Rings, and he probably hasn't even used his martial soul. Defeat him, and I'll take you as my disciple!"

Hearing this, the Inner Disciple kneeling on the ground was instantly overjoyed!

As a level-fifteen Soul Master, he could only be considered of average talent among his peers in the sect!

Yet who would have thought that Elder Gu Rong of the sect would actually come looking for him today!

And the purpose was merely to deal with someone who did not even possess a martial soul!

Overjoyed, he nodded and said excitedly:

"This disciple, Wang Hao, will certainly not disappoint Elder's expectations!"

Gu Rong nodded calmly. Watching Wang Hao's departing back, he thought to himself that he wanted to see just how deep this fellow's strength truly ran!

"Hah! Ha..."

"Extreme speed..."

The Training Room stood in an open space, uncovered by eaves or any similar structures.

Instead, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect used suspended platforms, making the place look like an immortal realm from afar!

As Ye Xingchen walked over, he swept his gaze around and discovered that support-type Soul Masters were the majority here, followed by some combat-type fighters.

Men and women worked together in pairs, and at a glance, they appeared to be couples.

That did fit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's style. He smiled faintly.

After glancing at the nearby steps, he lifted his foot and stepped onto them.
