Bofeng: "..."
"Please don't misunderstand. I'm not thinking about that kind of thing yet," Bofeng hurriedly said.
"It's fine. You'll get familiar with each other if you spend more time together..."
Bofeng: "..."
"Miss Ning Rongrong, I can make you even more beautiful. I wonder if..."
Before Bofeng could finish, Ning Rongrong hurriedly turned her shining eyes toward him.
Unable to wait any longer, she said, "Then what are you waiting for? Get up here and do it already!"
!!
Bofeng looked at Ning Rongrong. She truly deserved to be called the Little Witch. She was so carefree and unrestrained that it was simply unbelievable.
He immediately began to have second thoughts, deciding that he should keep his distance from her in the future.
Ning Fengzhi helplessly slapped his forehead. Was this really his daughter? He had originally intended to...
But now, it seemed he should find a chance to send her away from the sect early next year and let her travel the continent alone. Hopefully, it would temper that spoiled temperament of hers.
With that decided, Bofeng got to work and took out the necessary materials from the boxes.
Ning Fengzhi had someone bring over a mirror. Ning Rongrong sat calmly before it, already imagining how beautiful she would look afterward.
Ning Rongrong's skin had been good to begin with, so she only needed a few touches.
Under the watchful eyes of Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi, Bofeng began his work in earnest.
As bottle after bottle and jar after jar were opened, Bofeng began the next stage with a solemn expression, applying each unfamiliar material across Ning Rongrong's lovely face...
It was an indescribably comfortable sensation. At that moment, she had her eyes tightly shut as she enjoyed it all.
The two elders' expressions shifted from confusion to astonishment. When they finally saw Ning Rongrong before them, they could not help rubbing their eyes. Was this still their little princess?
Ning Rongrong, carefully adorned by Bofeng, wore light makeup that made her look utterly stunning. Among all the women the two elders had seen, Rongrong alone took first place.
When she slowly opened her eyes, Ning Rongrong was stunned and froze where she sat.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt as though it was not quite real.
With such exquisite makeup and her already lovely features, this... this was simply...
Ning Rongrong was so excited that she could not speak...
"Sect Master Ning, you've seen it yourself. This is the normal use of these products. They can make women even more stunning and captivating. The business opportunities are unprecedented, especially in a prosperous place like Heaven Dou City, where wealthy people are everywhere."
"In the future, we can expand the business across the entire Douluo Continent. The profits from our partnership will then be..."
Ning Fengzhi could hardly believe it. The profits would be unprecedented; even a year's income could surpass the treasury by a considerable margin. He was tempted. Who would not want more money?
Then, the remaining boxes were opened one by one.
"These contain goods from the sea, including lobsters, shark fins, hairy crabs, and more..."
"There are also many other things. Because of Prince Xue Beng's rudeness yesterday, the Royal Family sent someone to give me a larger shop as compensation for what happened."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi secretly nodded. It seemed the Royal Family had already taken the first step in showing goodwill. Had Bofeng not come today, Ning Fengzhi would have missed an excellent opportunity.
"I wonder what Sect Master Ning thinks?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly. "There's no need to say more. I'm willing to invest ten million Gold Soul Coins. As for future profits, you take sixty percent and I take forty. What do you think?"
Bofeng was surprised for a moment. "How about we split it equally? Your share in this is substantial, and you're investing ten million Gold Soul Coins. I can't let you take a loss, can I?"
"There's no need to say more. We're the ones benefiting from you this time. Otherwise, we would not have had this opportunity to cooperate."
With the task complete, Bofeng was about to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Outside the sect gates.
"Sect Master Ning, Sword Douluo, there's no need to see me any farther." Bofeng cupped his hands with a smile.
"Won't you stay for a meal before leaving? There are some other matters I'd like to discuss properly." Ning Fengzhi gave Ning Rongrong, whose eyes were sparkling with stars, a mischievous glance.
Bofeng shuddered and hurriedly said, "There's no need to make such a fuss. The Department Store officially opens tomorrow. At that time, I'll have to trouble Sect Master Ning to come by in person."
"Rest assured, I'll personally attend tomorrow to offer my congratulations."
After bidding the two farewell, Bofeng set off for Heaven Dou City again with his shop assistants.
"Fengzhi, just what is this boy's background? He actually made you swear in the name of a Soul Master." Sword Douluo was deeply puzzled.
Watching Bofeng depart, Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly. "You'll find out in the future. Even Spirit Hall would have to fear his background somewhat. Forming an alliance with him will bring us tremendous benefits."
"Oh?"
Having completed his task, Bofeng officially returned to Heaven Dou City.
At that moment, within the Martial Soul Main Hall, a black shadow stood before Elder Ju. No one could make out his true face, and he too was a Titled Douluo.
"Ju Hua Guan, have you found the little girl's whereabouts?" Ghost Shadow said coldly.
Yue Guan took out a colorful flyer. As Ghost Shadow accepted it, he said with slight dissatisfaction, "His Excellency has given us a strict order. We must take that little girl away."
Yue Guan remained unhurried as he picked up the flyer Ghost Shadow had thrown onto the ground.
"Old Ghost, I've investigated everything. The place on this flyer is where that little girl is hiding."
"Is that so?"
Ghost Shadow took the flyer again and examined it carefully.
"Department Store. Everything you could want is available—if you can imagine it, you can have it."
"Ju Hua Guan, are you sure our target is inside?" Ghost Shadow confirmed once again.
Yue Guan nodded seriously. "There's no mistake. My martial soul sensed the aura of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. It's the king of flowers. My little chrysanthemum can't compare to it. What did His Excellency say?"
"His Excellency told us to act quickly. Isn't that Department Store opening tomorrow?" Ghost Shadow gave a sinister smile.
"Ju Hua Guan, to tell you the truth, His Excellency seems to intend to take that little girl as a disciple. You'd best put away those little thoughts of yours."
"Enough, Old Ghost. I understand."
Yue Guan impatiently waved his hand. He had finally taken a liking to someone, only for His Excellency to snatch her away halfway through. There was nothing he could do but follow His Excellency's orders.
With two Titled Douluo acting this time, they were completely confident and planned to strike in one fell swoop the next day.
Meanwhile, on Heaven Dou City's commercial street, countless merchants and shops were gathered here. It was the most prosperous district in Heaven Dou City.
Xiao Bai, accompanied by the disguised Nannan, stood before a rather large building. Its entrance was already being renovated, and even its signboard had arrived.
"Department Store."
The four large characters drew many gazes. This was prime land beneath the imperial city, and every shop had a considerable force backing it.
Likewise, the shop bestowed by the Royal Family stood in the center of the entire commercial street, a prime golden location.
