Ning Rongrong

Biodata

Background / History

Ning Rongrong grew up in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect alongside Lin Xiao, an orphan the sect had taken in. Drawn to the stories he improvised from his previous world, she followed him frequently and became his close childhood companion. Ning Fengzhi and the sect allowed their friendship because Rongrong had few peers to accompany her. 1

At her Martial Soul awakening, Rongrong manifested the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and tested at innate Soul Power rank 9. Ning Fengzhi regarded this as exceptional because the Pagoda Martial Soul traditionally could not advance beyond rank 79, making her a potential exception to the sect's long-standing limitation. 1

Six years later, Rongrong had reached level 31 at age twelve. She persuaded Lin Xiao and Xiao Wu to leave the sect with her for Suotuo City, where the group enrolled at Shrek Academy. After a series of conflicts there, they returned to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. 34 39 41 65

Lin Xiao subsequently gave her the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty. Absorbing it evolved her Martial Soul into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, fulfilling the sect's long-held hope of overcoming its hereditary limitation. She later showed the evolved pagoda to her delighted father. 73 76

Personality

Rongrong is energetic, affectionate, and intensely attached to Lin Xiao. She eagerly seeks his stories, meals, and company, often clinging to him or arranging reasons to visit his courtyard. 4 6 9 21

She is competitive and possessive of Lin Xiao's attention. After Xiao Wu began feeding the injured Lin Xiao, Rongrong immediately joined in, turning the meal into a rivalry that left him overfed. 14 She also dislikes being excluded: when Xiao Wu requested a Fat Guga-style outfit, Rongrong demanded one as well. 15

Although impulsive and naïve, she shows a strong instinct to protect others. She physically shielded Xiao Wu after Sword Douluo captured her, refusing to accept that the frightened rabbit-eared girl was a dangerous spirit beast. 11

As she grows older, Rongrong becomes a clever and notorious prankster alongside Xiao Wu and the Evil Fat Gugas. She resists etiquette lessons, stages a deceptive escape from the sect, and readily challenges teachers she considers unreasonable. Her confidence in Lin Xiao also makes her openly hostile to attempts to recruit him away or arrange another marriage for him. 34 36 43 55 70

She is generous toward friends, giving Zhu Zhuqing valuable cultivation pills and helping her find refuge at the sect. Although still possessive of Lin Xiao, she later considers Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing as potential partners for him and prefers to have a say in that choice herself. 44 65 73
