Dugu Yan: Tsk Tsk Tsk~ My Husband Was Still So Young

Ning Rongrong froze, then her gaze turned terrifyingly cold.

She clenched her fists, fury flaring up instantly.

Stepping forward, she pointed at the young man's nose and cursed.

"Look at that crooked, ugly face of yours! And you want to capture me?"

"Didn't you bother asking about my identity? In the Heaven Dou Empire, you actually dare speak so arrogantly to me!"

"I think you're courting death!"

Crack!

A sword aura somehow arrived before the young man.

Even though he reacted quickly enough, he was still blasted several meters away, collapsing onto the ground and coughing up mouthfuls of blood.

Tai Hao was stunned. As a level twenty-nine Soul Master, he had not even noticed when the young man before him had attacked!

Something was wrong.

Nine parts out of ten, something was seriously wrong.

It seemed they had run into someone tough this time.

"Su... Su Li?"

Ning Rongrong stared blankly at the young man who had attacked without a word. Her heart beat a little faster, and little stars shone in her eyes.

She pursed her lips and said in a soft, sweet voice.

"Hmph~ You did fairly well this time. Later, I'll reward you with something worth no more than a hundred thousand gold soul coins."

With her hands on her hips, Ning Rongrong looked smugly at the hulking men before her. She regained her overbearing manner and continued pointing at their noses as she cursed.

"Trash! And you thought you could take me back?"

"I think your Power Clan doesn't want to survive in the Heaven Dou Empire anymore!"

"Hurry up, get up, and apologize to me!"

At that moment.

A man who looked to be in his early twenties seemed to recall something. His pupils suddenly contracted as he whispered something into Tai Hao's ear.

A moment later.

His knees went weak, and he nearly dropped to them.

"So... so you're the Young Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. It's our fault for failing to recognize greatness. I'll apologize right away!"

Tai Hao forced a smile and hurried over to haul Tai Long over, viciously slapping him across the face several times.

Even though he knew the boy was already seriously injured, he still hardened his heart.

"I'm sorry, Young Sect Master! I apologize on behalf of my cousin. Look, he's already passed out from his injuries. Can we let this matter go?"

Tai Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead, inwardly cursing that brat for having such nerve.

Didn't he see what she was wearing?!

Did he really think the Power Clan could act lawlessly in Heaven Dou City?

They could bully commoners, but nobles were not people they could afford to provoke!

"Hmph! Seeing how he's practically dying already, I'm not someone who nitpicks. Compensate me with ten thousand gold soul coins. You've damaged my reputation, so that isn't too much, is it?"

Tai Hao's mouth twitched.

Damn it, ten thousand gold soul coins? Why didn't she just rob them!

"Hahaha! It's certainly not much... certainly not much. I'll make up the full amount for you later, Young Sect Master."

As he spoke.

Tai Hao immediately gave Tai Long several hard slaps, waking him up before coldly saying, "You. Pay up."

"If I'd known, I wouldn't have brought you out!"

After learning what had happened, Tai Long was terrified as well.

He hurriedly emptied out his entire private stash.

After the others scraped together everything they had, nearly selling the clothes off their backs, they finally managed to gather ten thousand gold soul coins.

Tai Hao took a deep breath and said with a fawning smile, "Since we've apologized and paid compensation, then this person..."

Ning Rongrong curled her lips, examining the gold soul coins like a little miser.

It was not much.

But in a sense.

She had "earned" it herself.

Compared to spending money, this way seemed more satisfying, didn't it?

"Miss! Miss, please save me!"

"They want to take me back to bear children! I don't want to live that kind of life!"

Ning Rongrong stared at the woman suddenly crawling toward her, stunned for a moment.

She did not know what to do and instinctively looked at Su Li beside her.

"Rongrong, I'll handle this."

Su Li spoke calmly and pulled her behind him.

Ning Rongrong's eyes brightened, and she instinctively nodded.

Rongrong...

He actually called me that!

This seemed like the first time, didn't it?

"Okay~"

Ning Rongrong was as delighted as a little girl receiving something she loved. She casually found a table to sit at, playing with the gold soul coins in her hands while gently swinging her slender legs.

As she watched Su Li's back, her smile deepened.

Tai Hao's expression darkened slightly, but he still asked calmly, "Young master, we've apologized and given compensation."

"This is a family matter of our Power Clan. Isn't it inappropriate for your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to interfere?"

"Besides, are you really going to stand up for an ordinary woman?"

Su Li looked at the woman on the ground, weeping bitterly. She was very beautiful, no wonder these people had taken a liking to her.

He remembered that the Power Clan had a tradition.

Whenever they took a fancy to an ordinary woman, they would snatch her back to bear children.

Especially Tai Nuo's branch of the family. They all did this.

In this world.

Ordinary people without backgrounds lived no better than pigs or dogs.

Su Li had originally wanted to respect the fates of others, but seeing this girl, who was only a few years older than them, about to suffer the cruel treatment of these people, made him feel deeply uncomfortable.

On top of that, they had insulted Ning Rongrong earlier. There was even less chance he would show them a friendly face.

"You..."

"I'd like to see who dares commit such filthy, despicable acts in broad daylight!"

Su Li frowned and looked toward the entrance.

Damn it! Couldn't they let me finish speaking?

At that moment.

The girl's loud voice instantly drew the attention of quite a few people.

A purple-haired girl kicked out with a bang, smashing apart the already rickety wooden door.

Smack!

It landed on Tai Long's head.

He had only just regained consciousness, but now he fainted again.

"Who are you? How dare you act so recklessly!"

A young man beside Tai Hao roared.

He was already holding back a bellyful of resentment, and now another girl had appeared spouting such arrogant nonsense.

How the hell was he supposed to tolerate that?!

But once they saw her face.

Tai Hao and the others froze, swallowing hard.

Hiss...

She was actually an extraordinarily charming young girl?

Her purple hair made her look seductive and enchanting.

Though she still appeared somewhat youthful, she already possessed the potential to become a stunning beauty.

If they captured her and took her back as a wife...

"Damn it! Who the hell are you? Why are you sticking your nose into this?!"

The girl crossed her arms over her chest and sneered at the disrespectful man.

She took a step forward, and a terrifying aura instantly enveloped the restaurant.

Behind her.

A jade-green serpent coiled behind her, while two yellow soul rings appeared beneath her feet.

Tai Hao's face stiffened.

A Jade Phosphor Serpent?!

At this age... this martial soul... this soul ring configuration...

Could she be...

That person's granddaughter?!

"Cough, cough... May I ask what your surname is, miss?"

"Me?" The purple-haired girl glanced at him and smiled disdainfully. "You aren't worthy of knowing!"

"If you know what's good for you, apologize to that girl immediately, swear that you'll never harass her again for the rest of your lives, then get lost!"

"Otherwise... my poison will not show mercy."

Dugu Yan licked her lips, shifting her gaze away from them before looking at Su Li in the distance.

Her eyes flickered, and her heart stirred.

So this was my future husband?

I didn't expect him to still be so young...
