Douluo: Adventure Begins from Wuhun City

Chapter 165 Staying, Ning Rongrong's grievance

"Her name is Gu Yuena. She follows me mainly to ensure my safety. Now I have some health problems and need to recuperate. So I'm afraid I will have to nag Sect Master Ning for the next period of time."

Gu Yuena, who was standing next to Chen Yao, described herself as a bodyguard and thug. Her expression changed slightly. She took a sip of wine, glanced at Chen Yao, but still didn't say anything.

Although she is the leader of all soul beasts and has her own pride, she looks at Chen Yao, who is still not fully grown, as an equal.

Gu Yuena asked herself, it was simply a pipe dream, a fantasy, to want to counterattack the God Realm with her severely injured body and her subordinates who could barely compete with the gods on the mainland.

And in the Dragon God's memories that she inherited, she had an extremely deep understanding of the supreme power displayed by the Dark Lord in that brutal war between gods.

If her soul beast clan wants to survive and seek revenge, they must have the help of this extraordinary power.

As Chen Yao is the only successor chosen by the Dark Lord in countless years, Gu Yuena has reason to believe in the Dark Lord's vision. She believes that Chen Yao will definitely have the strength that is not inferior to the Dark Lord in the future, and will be able to lead her soul beast clan to wash away the shame and move towards the dawn.

Now, as a human being, Chen Yao is still ambiguous about whether to help the soul beast, so Gu Yuena showed her greatest sincerity and was willing to personally escort Chen Yao, who still needed to grow. She did not feel dissatisfied with what Chen Yao said at this moment, but accepted it calmly.

On the other side, Ning Fengzhi, after seeing this powerful Bone Douluo, who was no less powerful than Jian, agree with Chen Yao's statement, his eyes were filled with surprise at first, and then with ecstasy. Especially after hearing that Chen Yao wanted to recuperate in the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect for a while, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

"Brother Chen, you are being too polite. Brother Chen wants to cultivate in my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect because he thinks highly of my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Why are you nagging me like this? Brother Chen, please rest assured and stay here. I, Ning Fengzhi, can assure you that there will be absolutely no news about Brother Chen in the Spirit Hall from now on!"

Hearing this, Chen Yao grinned, nodded, and raised his glass.

"Thank you, Brother Ning."

Chen Yao knew that Ning Fengzhi was trying to win him over by adopting this attitude. Chen Yao did not think there was anything wrong with it. Although the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was not as good as the Spirit Hall, it still had some power. Although it might not be able to completely deceive Bibi Dong, it could at least buy him some breathing time.

"Brother Chen, please!"

Ning Fengzhi also raised his glass, clinked the two glasses together, and drank them both. For a moment, the atmosphere of the banquet was lively. The two of them talked happily, drank and chatted, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

This strong atmosphere lasted until midnight before it slowly subsided and the guests dispersed after drinking.

Ning Fengzhi kept the smile on his face as he watched Chen Yao and the other person leaving side by side until they disappeared. With the addition of Chen Yao, even if it was only for a moment, he felt that the increasing pressure from the growing strength of the Spirit Hall seemed to have been relieved by most of it, and he felt a sense of relief.

He was stunned for a long time, then seemed to think of something. Looking at Ning Rongrong, who already looked sleepy and yawned from time to time, Ning Fengzhi chuckled and shook his head, then said.

"Rongrong, what do you think of your adoptive father now?"

After hearing Ning Fengzhi's question, Ning Rongrong became more sober. After thinking for a while, her face suddenly became a little conflicted.

Her opinion of Chen Yao was actually a bit complicated. Although she couldn't remember the details, Chen Yao kept scaring her at the beginning, which still left some trauma on Ning Rongrong. Coupled with his ugly face now, it would be a lie to say that she liked him. But today, she did not feel any resistance or disgust towards Chen Yao's approach and intimacy, which made Ning Rongrong a little unsure of how to respond.

Seeing Ning Rongrong's helpless look, Ning Fengzhi, who knew his daughter's slightly face-obsessed personality, had already anticipated this. He gently rubbed her little head and said with a smile.

"Rongrong, are you disgusted by your adoptive father's current appearance?"

Ning Rongrong was slightly stunned after hearing this.

Disgusted? Not really, she was just afraid of that face. It was too ugly and made her feel physically uncomfortable.

But if she didn't look at that face, she actually felt pretty good standing next to Chen Yao, with a faint sense of familiarity and security.

I don’t know if it’s because her mother entrusted her to Chen Yao before she died.

Although she couldn't figure out the reason, Ning Rongrong still followed Ning Fengzhi's meaning and nodded.

"You may be too young to have any impression of him, but I can assure you that your adoptive father was a rare handsome man in the world. He just needs to change his appearance because of some troubles. This is not his true appearance."

Ning Fengzhi's words made a strange light flash in Ning Rongrong's eyes.

It was indeed as Ning Fengzhi said. Even though she only had a vague impression of him, she still vaguely remembered that he was a very good-looking person, definitely not like he is now.

For a moment, Ning Rongrong became completely alert and asked Ning Fengzhi curiously.

"So what does your father, your godfather, look like? Is he more handsome than you?"

Ning Fengzhi felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry at Ning Rongrong's question. He shook his head and told the truth.

"Even though your grandmother gave birth to me well and I don't have this kind of anxiety, I still felt inferior to Brother Chen when I faced him."

"really?"

When Ning Rongrong heard this, a bright light suddenly flashed in her eyes.

She is a contestant who only looks at the face. She has a natural filter. In addition, Ning Fengzhi himself is very good-looking. His handsome face and innate nobleness have led her to believe that Ning Fengzhi is the most handsome man in the world.

She had been looking for a playmate based on Ning Fengzhi's standard, but no one in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect met the standard. She was extremely disdainful of those boys in the sect who rushed to show their affection. In addition, her spoiled personality, which was shaped by her pampered life, made her either beat or scold these annoying flies.

This is also why Ning Rongrong has become the little witch that all the sect disciples are afraid of.

Now, after hearing what Ning Fengzhi said, Ning Rongrong immediately became interested. Coupled with the exploration of the vague memory in her mind, she felt itchy in her heart. She couldn't wait to tear off the disguise of her cheap godfather. Once she saw the lineup, the vague memory became completely clear and full.

Seeing Ning Rongrong's eagerness to try, Ning Fengzhi smiled and said.

"How about it, Rongrong, do you want to see your godfather's true face?"

Ning Rongrong nodded repeatedly, but when she thought of something, she said with some frustration, "But father, isn't your adoptive father going to show his true appearance because of some troubles? How can I see your adoptive father's true appearance?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled strangely again when he heard this.

"That depends on your ability, Rongrong. Now your adoptive father will stay in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for a long time, and I will get rid of him. I will guide your practice in my spare time. If you can please your adoptive father, act like a spoiled child and beg him, I believe that in a safe place like the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, your adoptive father will not mind fulfilling your wish."

"I understand father!"

When Ning Rongrong heard this, she suddenly felt her mind was opened up, her eyes lit up, and she jumped up from her chair.

"As long as I act like a spoiled child in front of Grandpa Jian and Grandpa Gu, I don't believe that my foster father will dislike me!"

Ning Fengzhi originally wanted Ning Rongrong and Chen Yao to get closer and build a good relationship, but looking at Ning Rongrong's appearance, he couldn't help but become worried again.

"Rongrong, it's okay for a girl to act like a spoiled brat, but your adoptive father won't spoil you unconditionally like your two grandfathers do. You still have to be careful and not act recklessly. Do you hear me?"

"I know, I know, Father. I'm going to bed first. I'm so sleepy!"

Ning Rongrong waved her hand, interrupting Ning Fengzhi's nagging, and left the hall with a jump and a little happiness.

Only Ning Fengzhi was left standing there, shaking his head helplessly.

The next morning, Ning Rongrong got up early. With the help of the maid, after washing and dressing, she couldn't wait to run out of the room.

After walking through the exquisitely decorated outdoor pavilions and turning left and right, she arrived at the room where Chen Yao lived, only to find that the door was wide open. Ning Rongrong curiously stuck her head in, only to find that there was no one inside.

He scratched his head subconsciously, shook his head slightly, and swept his eyes around, finally catching sight of two figures on the rockery not far away.

With a little excitement, Ning Rongrong ran over in a hurry.

When she walked in, she saw Chen Yao sitting cross-legged on a brown rock platform with his eyes closed. Wisps of soul power rose up and lingered around his body.

She wanted to go over, but thinking of Ning Fengzhi's instructions last night, Ning Rongrong gave up the idea of ​​disturbing Chen Yao's practice. She immediately shifted her gaze to the side, where Gu Yuena was leaning against a tree trunk, arms around her chest, facing Chen Yao, with a dazed look and scattered thoughts.

After only one night, Ning Rongrong was shocked again when she saw Gu Yuena's flawless and beautiful face that seemed like a work of nature.

"Will I be as pretty as this sister in the future?"

For a moment, Ning Rongrong was confused, because she had been the center of attention since she was a child. No matter whether she was the same age or the elders, they would praise her one after another when they saw her, which made Ning Rongrong always think that she was the most beautiful girl in the world.

But after seeing Gu Yuena, the strong self-confidence that she had accumulated since childhood began to show cracks, and she began to doubt herself.

"I will definitely be prettier than this sister in the future!"

As if to cheer herself up, Ning Rongrong secretly said this in her heart, putting aside those complicated thoughts, and a sweet smile appeared on her face as she walked towards Gu Yuena.

"Sister, you are so beautiful!"

In the past, all the noble ladies who came to visit Ning Rongrong were won over by this trick, which worked every time.

However, after hearing Ning Rongrong's voice, Gu Yuena's eyes refocused and she moved her gaze downward. After glancing at Ning Rongrong, she said nothing. Even her original absent-minded expression was restrained, becoming like solid ice, exuding coldness.

Gu Yuena's attitude towards Chen Yao does not mean that she is the same to others. As the leader of soul beasts, the Silver Dragon King who controls the six ultimate elements of time, and the half-body of the Dragon God who once controlled soul beasts and caused indelible damage to the God Realm, she is naturally very aloof.

In her eyes, except for Chen Yao, the rest of the human beings were no different from ants. Even though Ning Rongrong was making a big show at this moment, she was dismissive and did not even bother to give a simple response.

Seeing Gu Yuena's cold attitude and the contempt in her glance, Ning Rongrong was stunned. She had never been treated like this before. Suddenly, a feeling of anger and grievance rose in her heart.

"you!"

Ning Rongrong was just about to let her temper run wild and scold like she did before, but when Gu Yuena turned around and locked her cold gaze on her, the words that were on the tip of Ning Rongrong's tongue were suddenly stuck in her throat. Her breath choked and she could no longer utter any sound. A feeling of frozen blood spread throughout her body, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

"Looking for Chen Yao, just wait quietly and don't do anything unnecessary."

As if giving alms, Gu Yuena coldly spat out a few words to Ning Rongrong, then retracted her gaze, slowly closed her eyes, and began to circulate her soul power to relieve the injuries in her body that were like maggots on the tarsal bone.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong felt as if cold water was poured on her. All the anger in her heart was extinguished, and there was only grievance and fear. She subconsciously wanted to find Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo to support her, but then she thought of Ning Fengzhi's sharp eyes. Although she was willful, she was more or less sensible.

She understood how much Ning Fengzhi valued Chen Yao. If people knew that she had asked Sword Bone Douluo to cause trouble for Gu Yuena because of her temper, she would probably be furious.

Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong could only suppress her grievance and the urge to cry, and stayed aside obediently, waiting for Chen Yao to finish his training.

As time passed and it reached noon, the sunlight became increasingly scorching.

At this moment, due to the anxiety of waiting and the rising atmosphere, Ning Rongrong's cheeks and neck were covered with crystal sweat, and her breathing gradually became heavier.

In addition, she couldn't wait in the morning and ran here excitedly without eating breakfast, so she was already starving and couldn't help wanting to leave.

But when he thought of his heroic words to Ning Fengzhi yesterday and the arduous wait in the morning, he was unwilling to leave just like that. He felt inexplicably stubborn and insisted on waiting until the moment Chen Yao finished his training. He endured the physical discomfort and the grievance in his heart and persisted.

After a while, the soul power lingering around Chen Yao finally dissipated. He slowly opened his eyes and felt the soul power gradually filling his body. Before he could be happy, he suddenly saw a black shadow passing by, and then he felt a soft body like a kitten bump into his chest.
