Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 177: An Engagement Ring Full of Heart

About another stick of incense time passed, and all the guests invited to the banquet by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had arrived.

Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, also walked out of the castle under the gaze of everyone.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Ning Fengzhi was dressed in a very formal and festive manner today.

He smiled elegantly and casually, walked forward and said to everyone:
"Welcome all the distinguished guests to attend my daughter's engagement party. Feng Zhi feels honored."

Although it was just polite words, Ning Fengzhi acted as if it came from the bottom of his heart and his tone was so sincere.

In Lin Rong's perception, regardless of other emotions expressed in these words, at least the happiness in his tone was real and not fake.

But this is also normal. My daughter and son-in-law are both the descendants of the gods. No matter who says this, the joy in their tone is genuine.

At this time, a steward stood not far from the garden entrance and shouted loudly:

"Dear guests, let's welcome the newcomers with warm applause!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guests present applauded, eagerly waiting for today's protagonist to appear.

Amidst warm applause, two figures slowly walked out of the castle, hand in hand.

Two figures, one male and one female.

The man looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, with white hair that was neither long nor short and neatly groomed, making him look very energetic.

His facial features were handsome and delicate, especially his pair of peach blossom eyes with a peachy pink luster. As soon as he appeared on the stage, he attracted the attention of almost all the noble girls present, and their eyes were full of him.

The woman looked about one or two years younger than the man. She had waist-length silver hair that danced as she walked, making her look like an immortal.

Her face is delicate and pure, her skin is fair and tender, and her temperament is noble and otherworldly. She looks like a fairy who is independent and detached from the world.

Today, Oscar was wearing a luxurious dark yellow robe, a tall crown on his head, and a warm jade belt that tightened the robe, highlighting his thin figure and handsomeness.

Ning Rongrong was wearing a colorful long skirt with countless colorful ribbons flying on it. She even had a colorful shawl draped over her shoulders. The skirt and the shawl moved in the wind, making her look like a fairy.

In the corner of the garden, Lin Rong recognized the outfits of Oscar and Ning Rongrong at a glance and thought:
"Isn't this the costume of the first generation God of Food and the Nine-Colored Goddess?"

"It seems that Oscar and Ning Rongrong have obtained the inheritance of the God of Food and the Nine-Colored Goddess from the artifact."

Oscar and Ning Rongrong dressed up like this today because Ning Fengzhi felt that the time was not right and he could not reveal the identities of his daughter and son-in-law as inheritors of the gods.

But he also wanted to show off, so he asked Oscar and Ning Rongrong to dress like this in advance. When they successfully inherit the throne in the future, everyone will see their outfits after becoming gods and remember what happened today, knowing that they have already inherited the throne at this time.

This not only conceals the identities of his daughter and son-in-law as inheritors of the gods, but also satisfies Ning Fengzhi's own vanity.

Ning Fengzhi watched his daughter and son-in-law approaching, and the more he looked at Oscar, the more he liked him. He completely forgot that before he knew Oscar was the successor of the God of Cookery, he had always disliked Oscar.

It can only be said that the heir to the throne of God is so charming that he has completely changed the way Ning Fengzhi, the father-in-law, looks at Oscar, the son-in-law.

Soon, Oscar and Ning Rongrong walked to the center of the garden hand in hand.

The engagement ceremony has come to the most important moment: the couple exchanging engagement rings.

Under the spotlight of the crowd, Oscar's peach blossom eyes stared at Ning Rongrong who was right in front of him. His left hand slid across the jade belt, and a delicate and small box appeared in his left palm. "Rongrong, stretch out your hand."

Oscar said this gently, while opening the box and taking out a gem ring inside. The ring was inlaid with a shiny and warm pink pearl.

Ning Rongrong had a peaceful smile on her face and politely extended her right hand.

Because there was no years of emotional development as in the original novel, Ning Rongrong had no emotional foundation for Oscar.

Unlike Oscar's love at first sight for Ning Rongrong, Ning Rongrong's feelings for Oscar were accumulated bit by bit during their one month of getting along.

Although I don’t have much affection for Oscar, there is some truth in it.

After all, Oscar's handsome face and those peach blossom eyes that are extremely attractive to young girls are a big plus.

In addition, Oscar's naughty personality always makes Ning Rongrong laugh inadvertently.

Ever since Ning Rongrong received an aristocratic elite education at the age of six, she has never experienced that kind of happy and free life again.

Oscar's appearance sometimes makes Ning Rongrong feel like she has returned to the carefree days before she was six years old.

Looking at the slender jade fingers in front of him, Oscar carefully put the pink pearl ring on Ning Rongrong's right middle finger.

Oscar felt the warmth from her fingertips, and reluctantly let go of Ning Rongrong's right hand.

As if she had sensed Oscar's subtle emotions, the peaceful smile on Ning Rongrong's face became less habitual and more sincere.

Then, the jade bracelet on her right wrist flashed, and a box of the same type that Oscar had just taken out of the jade belt appeared in her hand.

Seeing Oscar standing there in a daze, Ning Rongrong chuckled and said:

"Idiot, what are you standing there for? Put your hand out."

Oscar finally reacted and stretched out his left hand.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong opened the box slowly and gracefully, and took out a pink pearl ring of the same style, but the pink pearl on the ring was slightly larger than the one Oscar took out.

Ning Rongrong was not as cautious as Oscar when she was also putting a ring on someone's finger. Instead, she naturally and calmly held Oscar's left hand and put the pink pearl ring on the middle finger of Oscar's left hand.

The ceremony of the betrothed couple exchanging engagement rings ended with a round of blessings.

In the garden pavilion, Tang San looked at the beautiful couple in the center of the garden, and for some reason, a nameless anger rose in his heart.

"Strange, what's wrong with me?" Tang San was very puzzled by the inexplicable anger in his heart.

It felt like he should also have someone he deeply loved, and his love was much deeper and more genuine than the couple in front of him. There was no exchange of interests, nor a trace of distractions, only the purest love.

But now the lover who was supposed to be there is nowhere to be seen, and he has to watch others loving each other, which makes him very unhappy.

When in doubt, use Xuantian Gong.

This anger in his heart had no place to vent, making Tang San more and more uneasy. He had to silently recite the mantra of Xuantian Gong and circulate the internal force of Xuantian Gong to calm this anger.
