Ning Rongrong: Didn't I Run Away? How Did I Come Back?!

"It's all your fault!"

Zhu Zhuyun suddenly shoved Hu Liena away, her alluring cat-like eyes now burning with fierce flames.

"If it weren't for you, you vixen, suddenly appearing and causing trouble, I would have gone in with my sister long ago!"

She was almost gritting her teeth; the towel slipped half an inch from the violent movements, but she didn't even notice.

Hu Liena was pushed and stumbled, but after regaining her balance, she laughed in anger.

"I'm causing trouble? Zhu Zhuyun, have you no shame?!"

She completely shed her usual elegant and charming facade, and her voice became three degrees sharper.

"You were the one who cheated first, trying to use the sister's bowl to kick me out! Now you haven't gotten any advantage and you're blaming me instead!"

"So what if he's got a few pounds of fat? What's so great about that!"

As Hu Liena spoke, she stopped protecting her bath towel and reached out to grab Zhu Zhuyun's most impressive part!

"Ah! You dare pinch me here!?"

Zhu Zhuyun screamed in surprise, her whole body bristling!

Not to be outdone, she immediately extended her sharp "cat claws" and retaliated against Hu Liena.

"I'll let you pinch me! I'll let you pinch me!"

"You shameless black and white cat in heat!"

The two stunning beauties, who were the center of attention in public, completely ignored their prized Soul Skill and Martial Soul at this moment.

And so, in front of Lin Feng's door, they began a most primitive and "frank" friendly wrestling match.

The bath towel was in grave danger during the struggle, and the scene was at one point quite "unsuitable for children".

On the other side...

The outrageous manhunt launched by a group of titled Douluo has finally made progress.

On the official road Spirit City, under a large tree more than thirty miles from the city gate.

Several furtive figures were surrounding a girl who was fast asleep.

Ning Rongrong had been walking for a day and a night, and was so exhausted that she fell asleep leaning against a tree trunk.

Her little face was rosy as she slept, and a trace of drool clung to the corner of her mouth, as if she were dreaming of something delicious.

Completely unaware that he had become the city's most wanted criminal.

"Found it! Found it!"

The knights of the Spirit Hall whispered amongst themselves, afraid of waking this "moving barbecue stall."

The leading Soul King swallowed hard; this was the key figure who would determine whether the big shots could have a hot meal tonight!

"Be gentle! Be gentle! If this little girl does something rash and tries to kill herself, we're all finished!"

The team members were on high alert. They exchanged glances and ultimately decided to use the safest method—lifting.

They found a board and, with great effort and concentration, moved the sleeping Ning Rongrong onto it.

Then, the team carried the planks in an extremely strange posture, as if carrying some kind of valuable and fragile item, and sped towards Spirit City.

Maple Dye Pavilion.

The charcoal on the barbecue grill was glowing red-hot, radiating intense heat.

Various marinated meat skewers and vegetables are neatly arranged to the side, just waiting for the "chef" to take his place.

"Why haven't we heard anything yet? Could something have happened to that girl?"

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer..."

Just as everyone was about to lose patience and prepare to personally take charge of "destroying the body and covering up the evidence."

In the distance, a series of muffled footsteps could be heard.

"They're here!"

All the titled Douluo were invigorated and turned their heads to look in unison.

The squad rushed over in a great hurry, carrying the planks.

Above, Ning Rongrong is sleeping in a very relaxed posture, sprawled out on her back.

"Make way, let me escort our 'official chef' to the 'dragon throne'!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo personally took action, and the "dragon throne" he mentioned was the one they had just "borrowed" from under Emperor Dai Tianfeng of Star Luo Emperor.

That was originally a mobile dragon throne specially made by Dai Tianfeng for "travel purposes" to demonstrate imperial power.

The chair was made entirely of expensive golden nanmu wood and covered with a whole majestic white tiger skin; its domineering aura was almost tangible!

But he never dreamed that the dragon throne would make its debut as a stool for a girl selling kebabs.

One of the worshippers' eyelids twitched as he watched, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Second Worship, is this... really necessary?"

Is it really necessary?

Golden Crocodile Douluo suddenly turned around, his crocodile eyes wide open.

"This is a strategic talent who will determine our Spirit Hall's 'barbecue freedom' for the next few decades!"

Ning Rongrong, still half-asleep, leaned back in her chair, seemingly not quite understanding what was going on.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was quick-witted and agile.

He picked up a handful of fresh lamb skewers and shoved them directly into Ning Rongrong's hand.

"Girl, wake up!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice was unusually "kind and approachable".

"Everyone's waiting."

"Remember, add plenty of cumin and chili this time!"

The cool touch of the meat skewers made Ning Rongrong slightly lift her eyelids.

"Um..."

She responded instinctively.

The body moves faster than the brain.

Ning Rongrong almost closed her eyes as she skillfully placed the meat skewers on the grill.

"Brush--"

The grease dripped onto the charcoal, making an enticing soft sound and stirring up a wisp of smoke.

Sprinkle cumin.

Sprinkle with chili powder.

The movements were fluid and natural, as if they were ingrained in his very bones.

The aroma of barbecue, mixed with the smell of spicy seasonings, filled her nostrils.

"Ha~ Ah~"

Ning Rongrong yawned widely, and tears streamed down her face.

She rubbed her eyes, and her vision gradually cleared.

In front of me was sizzling, oily roasted meat.

Next to it were mountains of raw skewers.

Around...

Ning Rongrong slowly turned her head.

A dozen or so "kind" faces, filled with expectation, were gathered in a circle, their eyes fixed on the movements in her hands.

Ning Rongrong froze.

The iron skewer in her hand fell into the embers with a "clatter".

"Etc..."

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, all sleepiness gone.

She suddenly stood up and looked around.

The familiar Maple Dye Pavilion.

A familiar barbecue stall.

Familiar... a bunch of old thugs.

Didn't she run away?

Hasn't she already run outside the city?

How come I'm back again as soon as I open my eyes?!

Her gaze continued to move, and then she saw several unfamiliar faces.

Dai Tianfeng, Dai Weisi, and a group of ministers from the Star Luo Empire.

They were standing on the periphery, watching him like he was a monkey.

There are even more people!

Ning Rongrong suddenly felt that her life had become bleak.

Seeing a group of titled Douluo with an average age of over 100 shamelessly surrounding a teenage girl like a local tyrant, all for a few skewers of barbecue.

Dai Tianfeng's pent-up anger, stemming from the loss of the dragon throne, flared up instantly.

He, the mighty Star Luo Emperor, had never seen such a shameless person before!

And there was a whole group of them!

"This is utter nonsense!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Dai Tianfeng stood up with righteous indignation and angrily rebuked the crowd.

"You are all Title Douluo, the top beings on the continent! So many of you, bullying a defenseless little girl and making her your slave?"

Where is your dignity? Where is your pride as the strong?

"If you have hands and feet, can't you bake it yourself?!"

His voice was full of vigor, and his imperial majesty was evident. His words were powerful and resounding.

Upon hearing this, the entire barbecue area instantly fell silent.

All eyes turned to Dai Tianfeng.

That look in his eyes was like he was looking at someone with an intellectual disability.

Golden Crocodile Douluo picked at his ear, completely unconcerned about Dai Tianfeng's angry rebuke. "Tch~ If you're so capable, why don't you try not to go yourself, and don't eat this girl's kebabs?"

Dai Tianfeng sneered. He felt that this group of people were utterly hopeless, their minds completely corrupted by their appetites.

"Hmph! It's just barbecue, what's so difficult about it!"
