Ning Tian's Embrace, Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Gentle Land!

The middle-aged man looked at his daughter, his eyes finally revealing a glimmer of gratification.

"Tian, you have grown up. You are worthy of being the daughter of me, Ning Tianzhi. At the same age, you are even more mature than our ancestor Ning Rongrong was back then!"

"Father, this, this..."

Hearing such praise, Ning Tian could not help but tremble all over.

Recalling the accolades and praises for the ancestor Ning Rongrong recorded in the sect's annals, Ning Tian's eyes became increasingly fanatical and resolute, completely shedding any lingering attachment she had previously felt toward Shrek Academy.

So, in Father's heart, I can also be mentioned in the same breath as ancestor Ning Rongrong! Perhaps, in the future, I really can be recorded in the sect's history books just like the legendary Ning Rongrong!

As for Huo Yuhao... that boy...

A complex emotion flashed through her heart. What a pity, what a pity. With such powerful talent but such a humble background, your fate is destined to be this.

Rather than letting you be claimed by other factions or sects, it would be better for you to become the sharpest sword of our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, to become my, Ning Tian's, most loyal and perfect knight.

Rest assured, this young lady will treat you well, very well.

Outside the Sky Screen, across the continent.

"Damn, this Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is too realistic!"

"The 'Mysterious Underworld Sect Huo Yuhao' from before was treated like a human cauldron to be drained dry, but this 'Nine Treasure Huo Yuhao' seems to be treated better, only to end up being kept as a useless matrilocal son-in-law!"

"To be fair, the look in this woman's eyes... it sends chills down my spine. Is she really just a teenager? Even the Nine-Colored Goddess back in the day probably didn't have such schemes or such depth of character."

All sorts of exclamations now filled every sect and Soul Master Academy. The members of the Mysterious Underworld Sect, whose faces had long been as dark as charcoal, finally wore expressions of schadenfreude.

Sun Moon Empire, Mingde Hall.

Jing Hongchen let out a cold snort: "The people of the Ning family have always been adept at manipulating hearts. Compared to the crude brainwashing of Shrek, this 'boiling a frog in warm water' style of control is the most terrifying. However, I am curious, how do they plan to act out this 'Princess and the Knight' play?"

Shrek Academy, Sea God Pavilion.

Yan Shaozhe's face was livid. He watched the calculating expression of Ning Tianzhi on the Sky Screen, then thought back to the methods Shrek Academy had used to brainwash Huo Yuhao as shown earlier.

He had to admit, Ning Tianzhi's methods appeared far more seductive, even literally "willing to sacrifice the child to catch the wolf." Shrek Academy's brainwashing tactics seemed a bit too stingy, too simple and brutal.

"Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, what a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! Ning Tianzhi, you actually taught your daughter to use such base methods to seduce a child!"

Yan Shaozhe slammed the table and rebuked, looking heartbroken over the moral decay of the Douluo Continent.

Xian Lin'er sat to the side, secretly grumbling to herself. There's no helping it! Who told you to be such a miser? At least they are willing to offer some sweetness, while you purely wanted the kid to work for free...

However, hasn't Shrek Academy been doing exactly this for so many years?

The scene on the Sky Screen shifted once more.

Inside a private courtyard of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Huo Yuhao was sitting cross-legged on a soft silk cushion, cultivating. The concentration of vital energy here was extremely high, and several types of precious incense were placed around to calm the mind and stabilize the spirit.

"Yuhao, take a break."

A voice as gentle as dripping water rang out.

In the scene, Ning Tian had shed her gorgeous, arrogant attire and changed into a simple, elegant white dress, carrying an exquisite food box in her hand.

She moved with lotus steps to Huo Yuhao's side, even crouching down without any airs of a young mistress, and used a silk handkerchief to gently wipe away the non-existent sweat on Huo Yuhao's forehead. She looked exactly like a virtuous wife.

"This is the sect's secret 'Glazed Soul-Nourishing Soup', which is of great benefit to your spiritual-type martial soul. I brewed it myself for three hours; drink it while it's hot."

Huo Yuhao looked at the stunning young mistress before him who had even "cooked for him personally." The boy's face was flushed red, and he even carried a hint of awkwardness:

"Young Mistress, you... you are too good to me. I am just an orphan from a commoner background, I don't deserve this..."

"I told you, don't call me Young Mistress. In the sect, we are all family. If you call me that again, I'll get angry!"

Ning Tian feigned a look of anger. She reached out with her slender hand and pressed it against Huo Yuhao's lips, her beautiful eyes shimmering as if with starlight, leaving the boy stunned:

"It doesn't matter what other places are like, and it doesn't matter what stereotypes you have about our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"In the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, we only look at talent and character, not background. From the moment you entered the sect, you have been, like Wu Feng, my closest companion, and even... family."

"This is the rule of our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It has been this way for ten thousand years. As long as I am here, no one will dare to look down on you."

"Family... family..."

Hearing this word, the boy's gaze trembled once again.

This scene made everyone outside the Sky Screen feel nauseated, yet they couldn't help but admire her.

Even Huo Yuhao himself, watching from outside the Sky Screen, couldn't hold it together.

I really didn't see that coming. Who would have thought that this Ning Tian, who was tossed around as a test subject by a certain God King in the original work, would have such skills? Aren't you just stealing the show from that God King's princess?

But it had to be said, compared to Zhou Yi's chain-running and Wang Dong's provocations and insults upon arrival, the Glazed Soup Ning Tian served was a dimensional strike. Unless Huo Yuhao was a masochist, he wouldn't stand a chance.

If I hadn't been prepared, I might not have been able to hold my ground if I had suddenly fallen into such a gentle trap!

In the scene, what neither Ning Tian nor Huo Yuhao noticed was that Wu Feng, Ning Tian's personal guard, was standing in the distance, peeking at everything through the window. Her hands were clenched into tight fists, her eyes almost spitting fire, with a trace of grievance that threatened to bring her to tears.

Why... why is it like this...

In the scene, a few days later, Ning Tian was strolling through the sect with Huo Yuhao.

Passing by the martial arts arena, several commoner sect disciples were being mocked and ridiculed by a few collateral disciples of the Ning clan, who even began to resort to violence.

Wu Feng habitually wanted to go up and scold the commoner disciples to "get out of the way," but was stopped by a stern look from Ning Tian.

Wu Feng couldn't help but be stunned again: In the past, Ning Tian rarely cared about such things, right? If anything, such trifles were tacitly permitted. At most, no one dared to bully her, as she was Ning Tian's personal attendant.

"Stop!" Ning Tian shouted sharply, stepping forward quickly.
