After absorbing a piece of Divine Dragon Bone, Qi Ling's noble aura as a Divine Dragon Emperor became even more apparent, making him even more awe-inspiring.
But for a young girl like Xue Ke, Qi Ling's charm is almost irresistible; just one meeting is enough to make her completely fall for him.
"Come here, Xue Ke, let me introduce you." Ning Rongrong took Xue Ke's hand and led her to Qi Ling, saying, "This is Qi Ling, who will be your teacher from now on. It was just decreed by your father!"
"Huh? Teacher?" Xue Ke looked at Qi Ling with a flushed face, as if confirming the news with him.
Qi Ling smiled and nodded at her, saying, "Ah, Rongrong is right, Princess Xue Ke, from now on I will be your teacher. I hope we can get along well."
Qi Ling's smile caused Xue Ke's heart to race and her face to turn bright red. She covered her face with her hands, unsure of what to say.
After a long while, Princess Xue Ke seemed to have finally calmed down, so she mustered up her courage and said, "Teacher Qi Ling, may I ask you for a favor?"
"Oh? What is it?" Qi Ling asked.
"That's right, I want to draw a picture of you. Can you be my model?" Xue Ke asked Qi Ling hopefully.
Upon hearing this request, Qi Ling was immediately stunned. She had never been a model for anyone in her life, not even in her past life!
However, being a model is nothing more than maintaining a single pose, which is a piece of cake for Qi Ling, who possesses the True Dragon Body. So he agreed to Xue Ke's request.
"Yay! That's great!" Xue Ke cheered, quickly helped Qi Ling find a place to sit down, and then began to concentrate on her drawing.
While Xue Ke was painting, Ning Rongrong watched from the side, occasionally making an exaggerated expression, clearly indicating that Xue Ke's painting was quite good.
"It's finished, Teacher Qi Ling!" Xue Ke said to Qi Ling shortly after, then rushed towards Qi Ling with her masterpiece in her arms.
It must be said that Xue Ke's painting skills are indeed quite outstanding. Although she didn't have enough time to draw many details, she captured Qi Ling's spirit perfectly, which made Qi Ling praise her highly.
"This painting is wonderful, Xue Ke. I love it so much. Can I have it?" Qi Ling asked.
Upon hearing this, Xue Ke happily exclaimed, "Great! Teacher Qi Ling, if you like it, I'll draw for you often in the future!"
"Really? Thank you then," Qi Ling said with a smile.
Qi Ling's first meeting with Princess Xue Ke was a great success. Although he himself was unaware of it, he had already left a deep impression on Princess Xue Ke.
However, as Xue Ke's teacher, Qi Ling couldn't think of anything to teach Xue Ke for the time being. After a moment of discussion, she decided to take the two of them to her own fiefdom for a visit. After all, as the saying goes, "Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles."
Although the Heaven Dou Empire did not have such rigid doctrines, Xue Ke, as a princess of the country, could not move around freely. Whenever she went out, she was always accompanied by attendants, which caused her a lot of trouble.
Finally, Qi Ling put it together and decided to take Xue Ke and Ning Rongrong and escape from the palace overnight. This way, they would be free and their movements would be easier.
After Qi Ling presented her suggestion to the two girls, she immediately received their approval. Xue Ke, who had always been a well-behaved girl, had never done anything so adventurous before, and she was immediately filled with a sense of thrill.
Fortunately, the fiefdom that Xue Ye granted to Qi Ling was not far from Heaven Dou City, and the group arrived there on the second day with fast horses and carriages.
"Oh? It looks pretty good. I thought I'd be given a desolate place, but it's quite prosperous." Qi Ling looked at the city in front of her. Although it was far from being a large city like Heaven Dou City, it was still quite large.
"Stop, you people in front!" Just as Qi Ling was leading Xue Ke and Ning Rongrong into the city, a group of people suddenly rode up from outside the city, called out to the three of them, and surrounded them.
"Who are you people? I've never seen you before," said a sleazy young man in fine clothes, sizing up the three of them.
Qi Ling only needed one glance to know their identities; they were just young masters from some wealthy family, leading their servants to act arrogantly and domineeringly.
The reason he stopped the three of them was probably because the two women's stunning beauty had attracted his attention, which was why he acted out of lust and took action to stop them.
"I'll give you three seconds to get out of my sight!" Qi Ling said calmly to the young man from his horse. "Otherwise, you'll regret it!"
Upon hearing this, the sleazy young man was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter with the servants around him, clearly mocking Qi Ling.
"Hahaha, within a hundred miles, no one dares to speak to me, Young Master Wang, like this!" Young Master Wang laughed loudly. "Kid, leave these two beauties here, then disappear within three seconds, and I might spare your life!"
Seeing Young Master Wang's arrogant and domineering attitude, his subordinates also let out malicious smiles, which made Xue Ke tremble with fear. She secretly regretted not bringing her guards with her.
Seeing Xue Ke's expression, Ning Rongrong knew her worry and smiled at her, " Xue Ke, don't worry, Qi Ling is here, everything will be fine. He's someone who isn't even afraid of Titled Douluo, dealing with a few petty thieves is a piece of cake for him."
Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Xue Ke exclaimed in surprise, "What? Teacher Qi Ling is actually that powerful? He's not even afraid of Titled Douluo, so is he even more powerful than Titled Douluo?"
"Hehe, of course, Qi Ling is the most powerful. What's Titled Douluo?" Ning Rongrong said with a smile.
Qi Ling listened to Ning Rongrong's boasting and immediately felt a cold sweat break out. This girl was too confident in herself. If she really faced Titled Douluo, she would be no match for her.
However, it's more than enough to deal with these low-class scoundrels.
Qi Ling's nonchalant look, Young Master Wang flew into a rage and immediately said, "Hmph! Looks like you're going to refuse a polite offer and then drink a forfeit! Fine, I never ask for favors. Since you're not leaving, then be prepared to leave a leg here!"
" Qian Zhongfeng, kill him!"
As soon as Young Master Wang finished speaking, an ugly man with uneven eyes, one thick arm and one thin arm stepped forward, chuckled, and said, "Hehe, Young Master Wang, you can rest assured to hand this kid over to me, Qian Zhongfeng. I guarantee I'll bring you those two girls in less than a minute."
