Ning Rongrong's Defense Shattered

At the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Dou Ling Empire.

An ancient castle isolated from the world.

At the very center of the castle stood a nine-tiered pagoda.

The pagoda was glazed in color, and the four words "Nine-Colored Divine Hall" on the golden plaque above its entrance gleamed brilliantly beneath the sunlight.

In the square before the pagoda stood two hundred-meter-tall statues, one male and one female.

The woman held a small pagoda identical to the Nine-Colored Divine Hall.

The man held a sausage, and the two were holding hands.

This was the symbol of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect.

Legend had it that ten thousand years ago, Ning Rongrong, the then-Sect Master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect, had elevated the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda to the level of the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda.

In the end, she attained the position of the Nine-Colored Goddess and ascended to the God Realm together with Oscar, the Food God.

Thus, the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect gained its name.

However, the Nine-Colored Goddess had left no descendants before ascending, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda martial soul had not been passed down.

The sect's name was rather undeserved.

"These disobedient and unfilial descendants actually erected statues of Oscar and me without permission after I ascended to the God Realm, and they even want this goddess's protection? What foolish dreams..."

On the fifth floor of the Nine-Colored Divine Hall, Ning Rongrong stared at the statues of herself and Oscar in the square, her face dark.

Yes, Ning Rongrong had been 'reborn' as well.

She had no idea how it had happened.

It was during the brief period when she had entered meditation to refine the Hundred Flower Brew.

When she woke up from a single sleep, she had inexplicably been reborn.

Moreover, she had been 'reborn' into Ning Tian, the Young Sect Master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect and a descendant of one of her brothers.

When Ning Rongrong had first arrived.

Like Xiao Wu and Tang San, Ning Rongrong had been terrified.

She had thought she was dreaming.

But after verifying it from every angle, she was certain that she was not dreaming.

Then she had seen the statues of Oscar and herself.

These statues had been built after her ascension.

Thanks to the continuous maintenance of later generations, they had been preserved to this day.

As early as several thousand years ago, Ning Rongrong had noticed them through Tang San.

At that time, just as she was now, Ning Rongrong had been furious.

Because her real husband, Brother San, had seen them.

She did not want Brother San to misunderstand.

It was only because she had been unable to descend to the lower realm at the time, and it would not have been appropriate to ask Brother San to destroy the two statues, thereby damaging her image as a true, kind, and beautiful woman in Brother San's eyes.

Otherwise, how could she have allowed them to remain in the world?

Now that she had descended to the lower realm and been reborn as Ning Tian, she had ordered the two statues demolished.

Yet not only had no one carried out her order, it had instead brought down a harsh rebuke from the current Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Tian's father, who had also confined her.

This made Ning Rongrong feel even more strongly that she had made the right choice by ignoring this disobedient and unfilial sect back then.

The entire sect was nothing but a pack of ungrateful wretches.

Did they not know that Sea God Tang San was the true husband of her, the Nine-Colored Goddess Ning Rongrong?

"For now, I can only first elevate my martial soul to the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda, then enter the Valley of Universe Inquiry and catch Third Brother's attention before revealing my identity. Only then will there be hope of returning to the God Realm."

Ning Rongrong thought to herself.

A red-haired, red-clad girl pushed open the door and entered. Though she was stunningly beautiful and had an incredibly voluptuous figure, she possessed a rather manly air.

"Young Sect Master."

Ning Rongrong did not turn around, keeping her back to the girl.

"How is it, Wu Feng? Have the people sent to Sunset Forest returned?"

The girl shook her head, her expression somewhat unpleasant. "No. Not a single one."

"The place you marked on the map is shrouded in poisonous mist all year round. Before our people could even get close, more than half of them were poisoned to death."

"Later, my father went to investigate personally, but he was unable to enter as well."

"He said it was a death zone. Even a Title Douluo who entered would have no chance of survival."

At this point, she paused and looked at Ning Rongrong with some concern.

"Once the Sect Master learned of this, he was furious."

"Disciples of the sect have been strictly forbidden from going near that place again, and your confinement has been extended from three days to one month..."

Before Wu Feng could finish, Ning Rongrong's eyes had already turned bloodshot, and she began panting heavily.

"Trash, all of you are trash! You can't even get through a mere poison array. How did I end up raising a bunch of useless trash like you?"

That was right.

Ning Rongrong had completely broken down.

Being unable to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well meant she could not obtain the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

Being unable to obtain the Aromatic Silk Beauty meant she could not evolve her Martial Soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda.

If her Martial Soul could not evolve, then even if she entered the Valley of Universe Inquiry, she still would not attract Brother San's attention.

How could she possibly endure that?

"Young Mistress, you..."

It was the first time Wu Feng had seen "Ning Tian" so distraught.

Amid her shock, a deep sense of grievance rose within her heart.

Ning Tian had actually called her trash. Why would she say that to her?

Didn't she know Wu Feng liked her? How much damage would that do to her young, fragile heart?

Ning Rongrong could not care less about whatever Wu Feng was overthinking.

Her mind raced.

She began considering countermeasures.

The path through the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was blocked now.

Without the Aromatic Silk Beauty to evolve her Martial Soul, rashly entering the Valley of Universe Inquiry would only lead to death.

Even she did not particularly care about the lives of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect's disciples.

Brother San would care even less.

"Looks like I can only choose another path."

Ning Rongrong let out a long breath.

She recalled the Child of Destiny Brother San had told her about before her rebirth.

For someone as proud as Brother San to hold that person in such high regard, he must have possessed extraordinary talent and endless opportunities. There was a very high chance that he would become a god.

If she could attach herself to this Child of Destiny, then she might still have hope of returning to the God Realm.

The only pity was that Brother San had not told her who that Child of Destiny was back then.

But it did not matter. As long as she knew he would be guided into joining the Tang Sect, that was enough.

The Tang Sect no longer existed now.

Its few remaining members were all studying at Shrek Academy.

There, she would definitely be able to find the Child of Destiny.

"Sorry, Brother San."

"Whatever happens between me and that Child of Destiny will only be an act."

"Once I return to the God Realm, Rongrong will apologize to you."

With that thought, Ning Rongrong turned to Wu Feng and asked, "How long until Shrek starts?"

Wu Feng froze. "It starts today."

Ning Rongrong said, "Go tell the Sect Master that I'm going to study at Shrek."

"Young Mistress, didn't you say you would go after breaking through to Soul Elder?" Wu Feng asked in confusion.

"I've changed my mind."

After all, the early bird caught the worm. What if that Child of Destiny had already enrolled?

"Then I'll go with you."

Wu Feng stepped forward, her eyes reddened as she looked at her, clearly wearing the expression of someone who would burst into tears if refused.

"Fine."

As the queen of dirty jokes, how could Ning Rongrong fail to understand that Wu Feng was infatuated with "Ning Tian"?

Besides, she did indeed need a maid to serve her tea and attend to her.

So Ning Rongrong agreed.

Only then did a smile bloom across Wu Feng's face.

Dai Mubai also wanted to use the Child of Destiny to return to the God Realm.

He had been "reborn" as well.

He had been reborn as his own descendant, Dai Yueheng, the eldest young master of the White Tiger Duke Mansion.

But unlike Ning Rongrong, who wanted to cling to the Child of Destiny and return to the God Realm by serving him with her beauty, Dai Mubai chose to overtake on a curve.

And he had already taken action.
