Ning Rongrong's Outrageous Stunt! Nothing Better to Do on a Full Stomach?!
"Rongrong, let's eat."
Looking at Ning Rongrong, Ning Wen said sincerely, "It's just etiquette lessons. No big deal. The time will fly by."
Color was slowly returning to Ning Rongrong's pale face.
To be precise.
It wasn't color.
It was fury.
Blazing fury that shot straight to the top of her head!!!
This bastard was the one who had caused all this.
And he was laughing his head off at her in his mind.
That alone would have been fine. After these past few days, she had gradually gotten used to it.
The bastard couldn't seem to stand seeing her without mocking her a few times.
What Ning Rongrong truly couldn't tolerate was his desire to kick her while she was down.
Worse still, he was vicious enough to want to arrange hellish training for her all year round, without a single day off, and work her to death!
How devious!
How vile!
And now he was putting on a kindly act, urging her to eat, while secretly wishing she would starve to death.
You devil! Are you even human?
He was nothing but a demon hiding beneath a gentle exterior!
The grievances in Ning Rongrong's heart were burned clean away by her rage.
Fuck etiquette lessons!
Fuck this hunger strike!
Ning Rongrong abruptly raised her head.
There wasn't a trace of vulnerability left in her beautiful eyes. Instead, they blazed with fire!!!
She absolutely wouldn't let this bastard get his way!
You want to see me starve to death?
Not a chance!
Not only would she eat, she would enjoy every delicious bite with utter bliss.
Choke on that!
"I'm going to eat!"
Ning Rongrong enunciated every word, her voice clear and firm, filled with the resolve to turn her grief and anger into appetite.
Then, under everyone's astonished gazes.
She grabbed her chopsticks, picked up a large piece of meat, and stuffed it into her mouth.
Even as she chewed, her hand kept moving, delivering dish after dish into her bowl.
She rejected nothing, wolfing everything down and sweeping through the food like a whirlwind.
Her ferocious table manners were terrifying, as though she wasn't eating dinner, but a certain bastard's flesh.
At that moment, only one thought remained in Ning Rongrong's mind!
You want to see me suffer?
You want to see me starve to death?
I'm never going to give you the satisfaction!
Not only will I live well, I'll eat heartily and live life to the fullest!
What's a little etiquette?!
I'm brilliantly talented. I'll master every last bit of etiquette in no time, then show off right in front of you.
I'll drive you mad, you damned bastard!
All the grievances of the past few days welled up in her heart. The more Ning Rongrong thought, the angrier she became, and the angrier she became, the more fiercely she ate. With her head buried in her meal, she looked as though the food before her had murdered her father!
Ning Fengzhi: I'm still alive and well, you know???
Ning Wen, meanwhile, was utterly baffled.
Did my words really work that well on Ning Rongrong?
Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone had said so much to no avail, yet a single word of encouragement from him had worked wonders!
Not only was she eating, she was enjoying it immensely!
She must really trust me!
A small sense of accomplishment rose in Ning Wen's heart. He completely failed to notice the murderous sidelong glances the girl occasionally shot him between mouthfuls.
Meanwhile.
A certain Voice Pack was already losing it!
[What's wrong with this stupid woman? Why did she suddenly start eating??????]
[Stop eating!!! Do you hear me!!! This Seat orders you to put down your bowl and chopsticks at once!!!]
[Weren't you supposed to be on a hunger strike?]
[How can you be enjoying it so much?]
[Have you no perseverance?!]
[This Seat despises people like you most of all!]
A glimmer of triumph flashed in Ning Rongrong's eyes, and she ate even faster.
Defiance was the name of the game!
Driving someone to death with anger, without taking any responsibility!
She picked up a tender piece of fish and swiftly popped it into her mouth. Then her chopsticks darted out again, firmly catching a leafy green.
Bite after bite, she simply couldn't stop.
"So delicious!"
Ning Rongrong's cheeks bulged as she chewed vigorously, mumbling those words around her food.
As though she was deliberately saying them for someone to hear.
[Damn it! Damn it all!]
[How dare you enjoy it so much!]
[Where's your backbone? Where's your resistance?!]
[This Seat was waiting to watch you starve and suffer, yet here you are, stuffing your face! You've infuriated This Seat!]
[Could it be because of what This Seat said just now?]
[Damn it!]
Hearing the furious roaring in Ning Wen's mind, Ning Rongrong felt immensely satisfied. Even the food in her mouth seemed to taste better.
She picked up another large piece of pork rib and bit down hard, deliberately chewing audibly.
Ning Wen rubbed his brow, feeling a headache coming on.
Come on, man. Could you stop yelling so loudly?
My head hurts!
You need to be more magnanimous, understand?!
Is a little girl really worth getting this angry over?
And you call yourself a God King!
Pah!
Yet the Voice Pack showed no sign of stopping. Like someone who had finally found an outlet, it ranted furiously.
[Do you know how much This Seat suffered because of this self-important, stupid woman?]
[In my youth, This Seat never wanted to get involved in worldly disputes. I only wanted to become a god in peace!]
[Who would have thought this stupid woman would complain that This Seat spent every day cultivating instead of spending more time with her?]
[While This Seat was away at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, she secretly ran off to that sham of a school, Shrek, and even got together with that food-type Soul Master called Oscar.]
[As a man, how could This Seat tolerate that? I killed him outright.]
[Only afterward did This Seat discover that it had all been a prank. She just wanted to see how This Seat would react!]
[Because of that incident, This Seat became sworn enemies with that bastard Tang San.]
[Looking back, This Seat really did lose my head to anger.]
[With This Seat's unrivaled looks and talent, how could that stupid woman possibly have been blind enough to fall for Oscar?!]
Ning Wen: "???"
Ning Fengzhi: "???"
Chen Xin: "???"
Gu Rong: "???"
What kind of outrageous stunt was that, Ning Rongrong?!
Did you have nothing better to do on a full stomach?!
Even Ning Rongrong herself froze for a moment.
But that was all. She didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Ning Fengzhi's expression shifted repeatedly, his heart a tangled mess of emotions.
He had maintained a sterling reputation his entire life. How had he ended up with a daughter as disastrous as Ning Rongrong?
Ordinary pranks were one thing.
But was this something to joke about?
Once a lie began, it was difficult to bring it to an end.
She had even made an enemy of a Divine Inheritor for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Looking at it that way, it was no surprise that he would try to kill Ning Wen over this in that future timeline.
Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's decline was likely inseparable from this matter.
He was the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The sect's interests would always come first, and if necessary, he would not hesitate even to sacrifice his own daughter.
His future self might seem foolish now, but that was only with the benefit of an omniscient perspective.
Faced with a Divine Inheritor, choosing to abandon Ning Wen to preserve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, then using that as an opportunity to cooperate with the other party, was entirely consistent with how he had always operated.
He had simply lost the gamble in the end.
At that moment, Ning Fengzhi didn't know whether to feel relieved or worried.
It only strengthened his resolve to educate Ning Rongrong properly.
With that cautionary example before him, he had to take the lesson to heart. He could never repeat those mistakes.
