Douluo: Adventure Begins from Wuhun City

Chapter 239: The Pain of a Slap on the Face
The girl had long black hair draped over her shoulders, her face slightly lowered, her figure tall, her skin as delicate, white and shiny as milk. However, in contrast to her fiery figure, the expression on the girl's face was very cold, a coldness that came from the heart, pure coldness, which was somewhat conflicting with her originally very beautiful face.

It was Zhu Zhuqing.

The quirky-looking girl next to her was obviously Ning Rongrong, one of the few people of the same age that she knew around Chen Yao.

Some time ago, Chen Yao ended his retreat in the Spirit Hall and returned to Liuyuecao Academy, where he met these two students again. He calculated the time in his mind and thought that since Tang San had to follow the original route, he might as well send these two guys who were doing nothing in Liuyuecao Academy over there. Anyway, he had almost taught everything he needed to teach, and he had also passed on the Xuantian Gong. It didn't matter where he practiced, right?
Although Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had no idea what was going on in Chen Yao's mind as to why he wanted to abandon them to this godforsaken place, they did not have much objection. After all, they were still young and had been in Liuyuecao Academy for quite some time, so they also wanted to go out for a walk.

Of course, it was not so easy for them to set off. After all, two little girls with extraordinary looks were not safe even in towns, let alone in the wild.

Therefore, not only are they secretly protected by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, but each of them also has a unique soul guide device on their body. As long as they encounter danger and activate the device, Gu Yuena will sense it instantly, and at the same time obtain the coordinates of the two people's sitting positions and teleport directly to them.

So the two of them walked and stopped along the way as if they were on a picnic, and finally arrived at the city of Soto.

After arriving in Soto City, the two were thinking about finding a hotel to stay temporarily, but when they chose a hotel that looked pretty good and walked in, Zhu Zhuqing was slightly stunned when she saw the ferocious white tiger martial spirit released by the broad and strong back of the man with golden hair draped over his neck. A familiar look flashed in his eyes.

But when she saw clearly what was happening inside again, a hint of disgust flashed across her eyes, and she thought it was bad luck.

A man with golden hair and royal white tiger spirit appeared in this remote place again. Who else could it be but his ex-fiance Dai Mubai?

Although when she left, Dai Mubai stayed in the palace obediently and did not show any definite movements.

But as members of the royal family, they generally would not leave Xingluo City unless there was something important, let alone compete with inconspicuous civilians for rooms in such a small place. The only possibility was that Dai Mubai, who had the same fate as her before, could not withstand the pressure and slipped away.

Logically speaking, the relationship between them was delicate, but in fact, they had never even met each other. Naturally, there was no question of any feelings.

But now, she has completely escaped from that tragic fate, while this guy chose to escape and hide in such a small place, giving up on himself. It is really pathetic.

"Zhuqing, what's wrong?"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's disgusted look, Ning Rongrong suddenly became curious. After several years of getting along with each other, she knew her best friend's personality very clearly. Except for when facing Chen Yao, she would show the passion hidden deep in her heart, and she was even a little cold to her. If she didn't already know Zhu Zhuqing's personality, Ning Rongrong would really think that she was being cold to her.

Since this is how she acts even to her best friends, one can imagine what kind of attitude Zhu Zhuqing has towards ordinary strangers.

It was the first time that Ning Rongrong saw Zhu Zhuqing show emotions other than indifference because of a completely unrelated person. She even showed an extremely strange emotion like pity, which made Ning Rongrong feel curious.

"Nothing, just saw a poor man."

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. If she had not met Chen Yao, seeing Dai Mubai like this, she might have been angry and disappointed with him, thinking about how to correct him, because their fates were tied together.

But now, although she has not completely cut off ties with the past, after all, she has never returned since leaving Xingluo City with Chen Yao, and she has not yet revealed her feelings.

But he is no longer bound by the so-called family rules.

Therefore, Zhu Zhuqing had nothing to do with how the other party was now, and she would not try to persuade him because of his despair. At most, she would feel a brief bit of pity for him because of the binding marriage contract, but that was all.

"Let's go, it looks like there are no extra rooms here, let's go somewhere else."

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes now returned to calmness, like a deep pool without ripples, deep and silent.

However, just as the two turned around, Dai Mubai, who was confronting Tang San and the others in front of him, suddenly turned around, not knowing whether it was because of the compatibility of their martial spirits or because of something in his heart, and stared straight at Zhu Zhuqing's figure, and then his face changed drastically.

Although he had never seen Zhu Zhuqing, for some reason, after seeing that face, the doubt in his heart instantly turned into certainty.

"Is that you? Zhu Zhuqing?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing didn't want to pay any attention and planned to leave immediately, but Ning Rongrong paused and looked at Dai Mubai with great curiosity.

"Eh? Big guy, do you know Zhu Qing?"

As she spoke, her eyes moved back and forth between the two of them. Her expression became a little strange and no one knew what she was thinking.

"What's wrong with this guy? He said he would beat him, but now he's the one who won't beat him. He's playing tricks on us!"

Xiao Wu, who was standing behind them, saw Dai Mubai abandon them and run to talk to the two girls. A hint of disgust suddenly flashed in her eyes.

"Forget it, Xiao Wu, try to restrain yourself if you can avoid conflict."

Although Tang San believed that Dai Mubai had already found a way to die, he also knew that he had just arrived and the entire environment was unfamiliar to him. If he rashly caused trouble, it would easily get him and others into trouble.

But now no one cares about Xiao Wu and the others' thoughts.

At this moment, Dai Mubai didn't bother to pay attention to Ning Rongrong who asked curiously. He just looked at Zhu Zhuqing excitedly and spoke loudly.

"You are so mean. You ran away without calling me. You know, we are..."

As if she had thought of something, Dai Mubai paused, and didn't say the rest of the words, but the resentment in her eyes was very obvious. Ning Rongrong saw that Dai Mubai was even more arrogant than herself and completely ignored her, and her temper immediately came up.

"Hey, are you deaf? I'm asking you a question!"

Dai Mubai was in a confused mood at the moment. After hearing Ning Rongrong's words, his expression suddenly turned gloomy. He turned his head abruptly and stared at Ning Rongrong. There was a hint of murderous intent in his heterochromatic pupils, and he spoke in a deep and vicious voice.

"I don't know which family you are from, but I tell you, no matter what power is behind you, it is not worth mentioning to me. For Zhuqing's sake, I won't bother with you. Now, shut your mouth!"

When Ning Rongrong saw Dai Mubai's expression, she was not scared at all. Instead, she found it a little funny.

After witnessing Chen Yao's murderous intent, she didn't find Dai Mubai's murderous aura scary at all, and even felt it was cute.

"It's really interesting. Even the old Emperor Tiandou doesn't dare to talk to me like that. How dare you say that the power behind me is not worth mentioning? Come on, tell me, where are you from?"

From then on, Ning Rongrong had a strange smile on her face and looked at Dai Mubai playfully.

If she only relied on the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong would not dare to be so arrogant and call the old emperor all the time. But before, she had seen with her own eyes that annoying Prince Xuexing, who brought the will of the entire royal family to Liuyuecao Academy and fawned on Chen Yao. Ning Rongrong was unprecedentedly inflated.

Although Gu Yuena's loving education in Liuyuecao College made her deeply understand what humility is, so even after leaving the college, Gu Yuena's influence still remained, making her restrain her temper and not act recklessly. But Dai Mubai was so arrogant that he even put the gun at gunpoint and wanted to compete with her in power. This really gave Ning Rongrong an outlet to vent.

Ning Rongrong's words froze Dai Mubai's murderous face, and he looked at her up and down in doubt.

Damn it, he's so arrogant. Even on the territory of the Tiandou Empire, he doesn't even take the emperor seriously.

Is this true or just bragging?

This made Dai Mubai feel a little insecure.

"What? Are you scared? Don't be a coward, tell me your origins, let me see your capital of arrogance!"

Seeing that Dai Mubai didn't say anything, Ning Rongrong suddenly became unhappy and asked relentlessly.

"Humph! Why do you want me to speak first? Why didn't you speak first? You are so arrogant that you even look down on the Emperor of Heaven Dou. How come I didn't know that there is such an awesome guy like you in Douluo Continent? Don't tell me that you are the daughter of the Pope of Spirit Hall!"

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong was silent for a moment.

Bibi Dong is Chen Yao's woman, and in name, she is Chen Yao's adopted daughter. In a sense, she really seems to be Bibi Dong's daughter?

For a moment, Ning Rongrong blinked at Dai Mubai, her eyes extremely clear, as if saying, how did you guess so accurately?
When Dai Mubai saw Ning Rongrong's expression, his disdainful expression suddenly couldn't be suppressed.

He felt it was absurd in his heart and was unwilling to believe it. After all, not only him, the entire Xingluo royal family didn't know that Bibi Dong had a daughter. Which man was so powerful that he could take down the Pope who was feared by the entire royal family?

But Dai Mubai, who had learned the skill of judging people through his hard struggles and intrigues in the royal family since childhood, knew clearly that Ning Rongrong's expression was absolutely a true expression of her feelings!
For a moment, not to mention Dai Mubai's nervous heart, even Tang San, Xiao Wu and the hotel staff behind him all looked as if they had seen a ghost. Some of the smart ones even slipped into the backstage without looking back, covering their ears tightly, for fear of hearing something they should not hear.

At this moment, Dai Mubai swallowed his saliva, feeling that he was in a dilemma. He looked towards Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing beside Ning Rongrong with her arms folded all the time, showing a broad chest and not saying a word, and cast a look that seemed to be seeking confirmation and also like asking for help.

But facing Dai Mubai's gaze, Zhu Zhuqing just responded with a sneer.

"Although it's a little complicated, it's basically what you think. If Rongrong wants to, I think the Pope will be happy to vent his anger for Rongrong. I don't think those people behind you can protect you."

During the time they spent together, Zhu Zhuqing had a rough idea of ​​the complicated and uncomplicated relationships around Chen Yao. After thoroughly seeing Chen Yao himself and the forces gathered around him, Zhu Zhuqing also realized that if Chen Yao wanted to, the current queen or even the queen mother of the Xingluo Empire would probably kneel in front of Chen Yao and lick his toes, and the Xingluo emperor beside him would have to say thank you flatteringly!
Realizing this, although Zhu Zhuqing herself is low-key and does not like to show her presence like Ning Rongrong, but relying on her relationship with Chen Yao, she naturally will not deliberately avoid anything or worry about any forces. She just follows her heart and says whatever she wants and does whatever she wants.

It was only at this moment that she fully realized the meaning of freedom. Her practice was no longer the same as before, because she was forced to practice because of a strong sense of crisis.

I practiced purely because I wanted to.

Although the cultivation process was roughly the same, and even more difficult and tiring due to the presence of Chen Yao, the state of mind was completely different from before, extremely relaxed and comfortable!
Dai Mubai didn't know that Zhu Zhuqing had already completely reached the shore, unlike him who was still struggling in the chaotic sea of ​​suffering with an uncertain future.

After hearing what Zhu Zhuqing said, he was petrified. Although it was the first time he met Zhu Zhuqing, she would never joke about such things given her status. In other words, he really ran into someone he couldn't afford to offend today, a real young lady? !
Dai Mubai's heart stopped for a moment, but he didn't care about being embarrassed or not. He quickly forced an apologetic smile on his face and said to Ning Rongrong.

"I am so sorry, my beautiful lady, please forgive my earlier recklessness."

A lot of corny praises kept coming out of Dai Mubai's mouth as if they were free, as if the furious and vicious person before was not him.

Why did he run away from the palace? Wasn't it because he was afraid of death?

He even gave up his dignity as an heir and ran out in disgrace like a stray dog.

His spine had been broken long ago, and now he had encountered a guy who was even more terrifying than his brother Davis. Even a bad mood could directly determine his life or death, and he didn't have to wait until the royal competition many years later.

How much toughness and dignity can be expected from him when facing Ning Rongrong, who has such a background?
