Aromatic Silk Beauty! Ning Qiushui Demands to Marry Off Her Daughter on the Spot
Dai Huabin smiled and said, "What, you're not welcoming me?"
Wu Feng quickly waved his hand, "Not at all, not at all, we're more than happy to welcome you."
He said nice things, but inside he was feeling annoyed.
It wasn't that she disliked Dai Huabin as a person, but she hated the feeling she got when Dai Huabin was around Ning Tian. When Ning Tian spoke to her, his tone would change occasionally when he mentioned Dai Huabin. The change was subtle, so subtle that Ning Tian himself might not have noticed it, but Wu Feng heard it clearly.
She likes Ning Tian.
But she's a girl.
This matter stood there, like an insurmountable obstacle. All she could do was stay by Ning Tian's side as her protector, guarding her and watching over her.
"Wu Feng, why don't you come with us for a stroll?" Ning Tian beckoned to her.
Wu Feng composed himself, stood up, and brushed the dust off his pants. "Alright, I've cultivated enough anyway."
She caught up with the group, walking half a step behind Ning Tian, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the women behind Dai Huabin.
Zhu Lu, Ice Empress, Snow Empress, Ling Xi.
Four.
In addition to what Ning Tian mentioned before about Ma Xiaotao and Wang Dong'er...
Wu Feng sneered inwardly. Did this man have more girls around him than the entire Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect School's treasure vault?
"Wu Feng, what are you daydreaming about?" Ning Tian turned to look at her.
"Nothing," Wu Feng said with a forced smile, "I was just wondering if your sect's spirit herb garden should be locked up."
She glanced at Di Lingxi. The blonde girl had squatted down again, drooling over a clump of Purple Star Grass.
Ning Tian followed her gaze and smiled helplessly, "Ling Xi, you really can't eat that."
"I didn't want to eat," Di Lingxi stood up and explained earnestly, "I was just watching."
Ice Empress interjected, "Your mouth was open when you squatted down."
Di Lingxi didn't refute, but turned to Dai Huabin: "Huabin, can we buy this?"
Zhu Lu sighed and went over to pull Di Lingxi back.
Seeing this scene, Wu Feng's irritation subsided somewhat. What a chaotic combination!
The group toured most of the sect. Ning Tian was clearly in high spirits, pointing out the sect's Hundred Treasures Hall, outer sect training grounds, and the entrance to the back mountain mine to Dai Huabin.
Wu Feng noticed that when Ning Tian was introducing the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, he focused more on showcasing its foundation and resources.
This wasn't just showing off; it was demonstrating the value of cooperation to Dai Huabin.
Wu Feng sighed inwardly. Ning Tian was indeed the young sect leader; he acted with discretion and every step was for the benefit of the sect.
"That's about enough, let's go eat." Ning Tian stopped in his tracks. "My mom should have already made arrangements."
The banquet was held in the sect's Purple Cloud Hall, and it was of a very high standard.
Ning Qiushui personally accompanied Dai Huabin, frequently offering him tea during the meal, her enthusiasm bordering on excessive.
Wu Feng sat in the corner, silently eating his rice, occasionally glancing up at Ning Tian.
Ning Tian sat to Dai Huabin's right and introduced the dishes on the table to him, "This Frosty White Fungus is stewed with spiritual spring water from the back mountain of the sect. Please try it."
"Your sect is so particular about even the food?" Zhu Lu picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks from across the table.
Ning Tian smiled and said, "We have important guests. We usually just have normal meals, nothing fancy."
Di Lingxi buried herself in her food, her chopsticks barely stopping. Three plates in front of her were already empty. Ice Empress sat next to her, his plate containing only two green vegetable leaves, his chopsticks barely touched.
Snow Empress ate leisurely, occasionally putting a bite of food on Ice Empress's plate.
Ning Qiushui looked at the people at the table, but her mind wasn't on the food. She smiled and chatted with Zhu Lu for a few minutes, then talked to Snow Empress about her experiences in Heaven Dou City, speaking smoothly and politely.
But her attention remained fixed on Dai Huabin.
Halfway through her meal, Di Lingxi let out a burp.
Ice Empress wrinkled their nose and moved their chair to the side.
"Are you full?" Dai Huabin handed Di Lingxi a cup of warm tea.
Di Lingxi took the drink and took a big gulp, nodding with satisfaction.
Wu Feng put down her chopsticks and leaned back in her chair. She was actually full, but she wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. With Dai Huabin around, Ning Tian's attention couldn't be diverted to her.
After the banquet, Ning Qiushui had the tables cleared and fresh tea served.
Only Ning Qiushui, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Dai Huabin remained in the hall.
Ning Qiushui, holding her teacup, spoke first, "Huabin, Xiao Tian told me that you mentioned before that you had a way to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
She spoke slowly as she said this, clearly choosing her words carefully.
Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Everyone present knew what those four words meant to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
For ten thousand years, only Ning Rongrong in the entire sect has completed the Martial Soul Transformation. The rest of the clan members, no matter how high their talent or how abundant their resources, can only reach level 79 as their ceiling.
Ning Qiushui herself is stuck on this hurdle, and she can never get over it in her entire life.
"That's true." Dai Huabin put down his teacup and nodded.
Ning Qiushui's fingers tightened slightly, but her tone remained steady. "What method is it?"
Ning Tian also turned to look at Dai Huabin. Although Dai Huabin had mentioned this matter back in first grade, he had never revealed the specifics.
Today, he's finally going to speak.
Ning Tian's heart raced a few beats.
Dai Huabin didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "The Aromatic Silk Beauty."
Five words were uttered.
Ning Qiushui's teacup wobbled, spilling a few drops of tea onto the table. She didn't wipe it up.
Wu Feng noticed that his sect leader's hands were trembling.
"You... what did you say?" Ning Qiushui's voice changed.
"Aromatic Silk Beauty."
Dai Huabin repeated it again.
"Ten thousand years ago, the Goddess of Nine Colors Ning Rongrong consumed the Aromatic Silk Beauty, which transformed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Afterwards, she broke through the Soul Sage bottleneck, eventually becoming Titled Douluo, and even a god."
Ning Qiushui stood up.
The chair slid back a bit, making a screeching sound.
"You..." She took a deep breath, trying to control her emotions, "Do you know where the Aromatic Silk Beauty is?"
"Know."
Two words, a simple, understated statement.
Ning Qiushui's breathing became rapid. Wu Feng had never seen his sect leader lose his composure like this.
Having managed the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for so many years, dealing with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and clashing with various powerful forces, what kind of situation hasn't Ning Qiushui seen?
But now, her hands are trembling, and her lips are trembling too.
This means that Ning Tian can break through the shackles of level seventy-nine.
The future of the entire Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect rests on this Immortal Herb.
Ning Tian was also stunned.
She knew Dai Huabin would give her an answer, but she didn't expect it to be this. The Aromatic Silk Beauty —that was a legend written in the sect's secret history.
Successive sect leaders have been searching for a second plant, sending countless people to search the entire continent, but all have returned empty-handed.
Dai Huabin told her that he knew where it was.
