Bing Jiu burst out laughing. "Hahaha, seriously. Just like that guy said, you really are interesting. Come, let's get acquainted."
Bing Jiu held out her hand to Ning Rongrong.
"I am the Spirit Hall Saintess, and also Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire's fiancée. As the young mistress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Qinghe has always treated you like a younger sister, so..."
"It wouldn't be too much for me to call you little sister, would it?"
"Huh?"
Ning Rongrong stood there in a daze for a full half-minute before reacting. She pointed at herself blankly. "You said... you're calling me little sister?"
"Mhm." Bing Jiu smiled gently, as though she were an entirely different person from before.
"Then why did you come here this time?"
"Silly girl." Bing Jiu flicked her nose.
"Of course, I heard someone was bullying you, so I came to back you up. Isn't that right... Prince Xue Xing?"
"Huh?"
Xue Xing and Xue Beng had nearly stepped out of the main hall when they abruptly froze at Bing Jiu's voice.
Tuoba Xi was a man of few words and ruthless action. He grabbed one in each hand and tossed them back.
"Hmph! You bad guy, Sister!"
Seizing the chance, Ning Rongrong linked arms with Bing Jiu and began listing Xue Xing's crimes.
Bullying the weak, slapping her—she could make up things that had never happened, and as for things that had, there was even more to say. It was utterly outrageous!
The more she spoke, the more excited she became.
This felt amazing! If she had known Xue Qinghe's fiancée was the Spirit Hall Saintess, she should have brought it up sooner! Hehe, otherwise, how could this old man have acted so arrogantly?
The more Xue Xing listened, the more alarmed he became. "This... Saintess, no, Your Highness the Crown Princess, I never did any of that..."
"Prince Xue Xing."
Bing Jiu raised a finger and pressed it against his head. Killing intent instantly spread through the surroundings.
Xue Xing had no strength whatsoever. He trembled from head to toe in fright, with none of his former arrogance left.
The more Ning Rongrong watched, the better she felt. "Good! This old bastard bullied us like that just now. Now he's getting what he deserves! Sister, you have to teach him a good lesson!"
"Fine. Prince Xue Xing, considering that you are Qinghe's uncle, I won't make things difficult for you!"
Bing Jiu grabbed Xue Xing by the shoulder, and the sound of bones grinding rang out.
Xue Xing's face instantly turned deathly pale.
"You! You venomous..."
"What did you call me?"
Bing Jiu turned to look at Xue Beng. "I saw you at the academy gates earlier. Now, say it again. Think carefully—what should you call me?"
"I..."
Xue Beng gritted his teeth and forcibly spat out two words.
"Imperial Sister-in-Law."
"Very good."
Bing Jiu released her grip, and Xue Xing immediately felt as though a great burden had been lifted.
Ling Yuan Douluo hurried over, took Bing Jiu's hand, and carefully wiped it clean.
"Since Imperial Uncle and Imperial Brother have caused such a scene here, I'll spare your lives for Qinghe's sake. However, from this day onward, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's direct administrative authority belongs to me!"
"What?!"
Xue Xing was utterly dumbfounded. If he handed over the authority here, he would truly become a rat crossing the street!
Just as he was about to refuse, Tuoba Xi rolled his neck. His sandbag-sized fists cracked loudly.
Xue Xing's mind went numb.
What else could he do?
"Sign it."
Bing Jiu took out an agreement and tossed it at Xue Xing's feet. "Then get the hell out of here! Don't make me repeat myself!"
"Yes..."
With no other choice, Xue Xing could only sign the agreement.
As he left, Xue Beng gave Bing Jiu a complicated look, but Bing Jiu ignored him.
"So, you're Rongrong's friend. Nice to meet you."
Tang San stepped forward with a smile and held out his hand to Bing Jiu. "I'm Rongrong's Third Brother. You can call me Third Brother... no, just Little San."
"Tang San?"
Bing Jiu had no interest in this sleazy fellow, but for some reason, a ripple came from her fingers. Her gaze lowered, and Bing Jiu immediately spotted it.
At Tang San's waist was the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges!
Hehe, so it was here!
Bing Jiu chuckled softly and shook Tang San's hand.
Feeling the warmth in his palm, Tang San was instantly delighted, his heart fluttering wildly.
Actually, this Spirit Hall Saintess isn't bad at all...
"Grandpa!"
At that moment, Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng also arrived.
The moment they met, they were surprised to discover that the entire room was filled with familiar faces.
"Tang San, why are you here?"
Enemies meeting made their eyes blaze with hatred. Dugu Yan first locked onto that blue figure, then her eyes shifted and quickly fixed on the white-robed woman standing in the center of the hall.
At the same time, Bing Jiu turned around and smiled at her!
Dugu Yan's mind exploded with a boom. "It's you!"
"It's me." Bing Jiu nodded openly.
"You!"
Dugu Yan clenched her fists and angrily stepped forward, but Dugu Bo hurriedly stopped her.
"Yanyan, what are you doing?!"
"Grandpa, this person wiped out our entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team alone earlier. I... I refuse to accept it. I want to challenge her!"
"What did you say?!"
As soon as Dugu Yan said that, the Shrek Seven Devils all widened their eyes.
One person had wiped out the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team!
Ma Hongjun scratched his head. "Did I hear that right? We had to put in so much effort to defeat the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team back then, but she wiped them all out by herself?"
"Hmph! Who do you think you are?"
Ling Yuan Douluo shrugged disdainfully. "Our Saintess represents the strongest of the younger generation on the continent. How could you possibly compare?"
"You shameless braggart! So what if you're the Saintess? If you have the guts, compete with me again!"
"Compete?"
Bing Jiu clasped her hands behind her back with interest. "How do you want to compete?"
"Don't stop me!"
Dugu Yan flung Yu Tianheng's hand away and stepped forward regardless of everything else.
"Although you're powerful, is your physical constitution just as strong? Let's see who can endure Soul Power pressure exceeding their own level by more!"
"Oh? What an interesting idea. Fine, I... will indulge you, Ling Yuan."
Ling Yuan rolled her eyes at Dugu Yan. "Here!"
"Prepare to release Soul Power pressure!"
Soon, Bing Jiu and Dugu Yan stood on opposite sides while Ling Yuan Douluo, positioned between them, released pressure upon both at once.
The Shrek group watched the scene with great interest.
Xiao Wu nudged Tang San's arm. "Third Brother, you endured pressure eleven levels above your own back then. Do you think either of them can surpass you?"
"Of course not."
Tang San affectionately rubbed her head, leaving no doubt about it.
After all, he had only achieved that back then with the support of the Mysterious Heaven Skill and an External Soul Bone. Bing Jiu might be powerful, but her physical constitution should...
"Level 32 pressure!"
The pressure in the hall had already reached level 32! Bing Jiu looked utterly calm, while Dugu Yan, though still relatively composed, already had quite a bit of sweat beading on her forehead.
Yet she still stubbornly raised a middle finger at Bing Jiu.
"Don't think I'll lose just like this!"
"Hehe, let's wait and see."
