I wonder if a pope like me

Su Ling slowly walked up to Ning Rongrong. Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo all looked puzzled.

Ning Rongrong gazed at Su Ling with her big, adorable eyes, a hint of anticipation in them.

In her excitement, her little feet, already swinging back and forth, began leaving afterimages.

"Rongrong, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

As soon as Su Ling said this, the banquet fell silent for about three seconds.

It was not an ordinary silence, but a deathly stillness in which everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at Su Ling in disbelief.

The wineglass in Ning Fengzhi's hand froze in midair, his smile fixed on his face. Sword Douluo Chen Xin's chopsticks snapped with a crack. Bone Douluo Gu Rong's reaction was even more exaggerated: he sprayed the wine he had just drunk all over Chen Xin's face.

Seeing that the task still had not shown as completed, Su Ling assumed his confession had not been heartfelt enough and spent another moment working up his feelings.

"From the very first moment I saw you, I fell hopelessly for you. Your slender, jade-like hands keep plucking at my heartstrings."

At this, everyone's eyes turned in unison toward Ning Rongrong's hands. Uh... those were clearly still a toddler's hands, weren't they?

"Every time your feet swing..."

Ning Rongrong blinked her big, watery eyes, her little mouth slightly open. Her two little feet instantly stopped swinging, and she froze there.

"Holy shit, listen to what he's saying!"

"What feet?"

"Isn't Sect Master Ning's daughter only six?"

At this moment, an elder from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan stepped forward. "I'll provide the lightning!"

A noble whose Martial Soul was a rope also stepped forward. "I'll provide the hemp rope!"

"I'll provide the rolling logs!" An old man whose Martial Soul was a tree stepped forward as well.

"I... I accept."

Ning Rongrong shakily reached out her little hand and clasped Su Ling's palm.

Just then, terrible news came from the Chaos Planet.

"Master, something awful happened! The Crimson Flame Fox... she blew herself up!"

Snow Ji frantically transmitted her voice into Su Ling's sea of consciousness. However, newly born Martial Souls within Su Ling's Martial Soul did not possess advanced intelligence, so Snow Ji had not paid too much attention.

"She... she couldn't find any prey for too long. After eating Blue Silver Emperor for several days straight, she got so angry that she blew herself up."

"Well..."

Alas... Su Ling had anticipated this long ago. He had originally planned to absorb Xiao Wu when the next school term began, but Snow Ji had cut in ahead of her.

The foxes could not get used to eating grass, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Fortunately, the Chaos Planet had a fully developed underworld system. In just a few days, the hundred-thousand-year Crimson Flame Fox would be able to reincarnate and keep gnawing on Blue Silver Emperor.

Snow Ji handed the Crimson Flame Fox's remains to Su Ling.

"Holy shit? Six Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones!"

Su Ling had never imagined that the Crimson Flame Fox's self-detonation would leave behind six Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones. On the Douluo Continent, even killing a hundred hundred-thousand-year soul beasts might not yield a full set!

"How dare you!"

Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo acted in unison. Even if there was a Titled Douluo of unknown strength at his side, they would never allow some blond punk off the street to whisk Ning Rongrong away!

Bone Douluo restrained Su Ling from behind. Sword Douluo summoned the Seven Kill Sword and was about to slash down when a crystal-clear sixty-thousand-year Left Arm Bone appeared before Chen Xin. The Crimson Flame Fox was not the first soul beast to blow herself up. Quite a few foxes had blown themselves up because they could not get used to eating Blue Silver Emperor, only to reincarnate and go right back to gnawing on Blue Silver Emperor. Soul Bones could not decompose, so to preserve the beautiful environment and build a beautiful planet, Su Ling had collected them.

While Gu Rong was wholly focused on restraining Su Ling, Chen Xin slipped the Soul Bone straight into his own Soul Tool.

After waiting for ages without anything happening, Gu Rong asked, "You old sword bastard, what are you waiting for? Fucking slash him!"

Chen Xin echoed him. "Fucking slash him!"

The Seven Kill Sword bobbed up and down, but never landed on Su Ling.

"Hurry up and slash!"

"Slash!"

"Fucking slash him!"

"Come on, you're making my head spin." Chen Xin raised the Seven Kill Sword high. As a cloud of dust dispersed, the Seven Kill Sword landed heavily on Gu Rong's head.

"Do you want me to slash him or his fucking mother?"

Gu Rong's defenses were strong to begin with, and Chen Xin had held back his strength, so Gu Rong was not injured. The Seven Kill Sword had merely shaved him into a bald-crowned hairstyle.

"You old sword bastard! You!"

Gu Rong was about to rush forward and grapple with Chen Xin when a perfectly timed Soul Shock from Su Ling silenced everyone.

Even Bone Douluo dared not make another rash move. Though his spiritual power was not particularly strong, it was still at the level of a Titled Douluo, yet a six-year-old child now had it firmly suppressed.

Su Ling then took out the Crimson Flame Fox's Skull Bone. The moment the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone appeared, everyone present sucked in a cold breath.

The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was not only crystal-clear, but also shimmered with dazzling light!

A friendly reminder: if it glows without giving off heat, everyone drops dead. Children, if you encounter glowing bones in real life, never take them home.

Su Ling came to Ning Rongrong's side.

"Consider this Soul Bone my betrothal gift to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Chen Xin was the first to applaud. "Forget about betrothal gifts! Young friend Su Ling and Rongrong are a talented young man and a beautiful young lady, a match made in heaven. Anyone who dares object is making an enemy of me, Chen Xin!"

A cold gleam flashed from the Seven Kill Sword, making everyone present feel a tremor of dread.

"Why would we object? Sword Douluo, please put away your divine powers!"

The Seven Kill Sword's killing aura was far too heavy. Quite a few of those seated there were relatively weak, and that killing intent alone was more than they could withstand.

Only after Chen Xin put away the Seven Kill Sword did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Yet several cold glints were still flashing.

"Oh no! An assassin!"

Everyone looked around, only to discover that those cold glints were sunlight reflecting off Gu Rong's head.

"Chen Xin, I blanking blank your blank!"

Ning Fengzhi stepped forward at this point as well. "Little brother Su Ling, you're such a man of feeling. I'll simply give you the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

Hearing this, Su Ling's expression froze, and three enormous question marks popped into his head.

Everyone: ???

Chen Xin and Gu Rong also exchanged looks. Holy shit, these two are way too impulsive!

By Ning Fengzhi's calculations, since Ning Rongrong was going to marry Su Ling, he would inevitably become a pillar of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Moreover, Su Ling's Martial Soul was stronger than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's by who knew how much, so his descendants with Rongrong would most likely inherit his Martial Soul. In the future, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would surely no longer need to rely on other powerful figures. Besides, Su Ling had no other faction behind him, so there was no need to worry about him siding with outsiders, which was what Ning Fengzhi least wanted to see.

At this moment, Xue Ke also came to Su Ling's side. "I wonder if a princess like me..."

Su Ling patted Xue Ke's head. "You're still little. Once you turn six, I'll definitely give you a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone that suits you."

The Soul Bone best suited to Xue Ke would naturally be one dropped by an Emerald Swan.

"Sigh, I wonder if a pope like me..."

Bibi Dong's attention had been completely captured by the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone Su Ling had brought out, and she had entirely forgotten that Hu Liena was right beside her.

"Sigh, I wonder if a holy maiden like me..."

Bibi Dong revealed a "kind and friendly" smile. "Na Na, come into your teacher's arms. I'll teach you some techniques for keeping Su Ling wrapped around your finger."
