Douluo: Reincarnation of Pineapple Blowing Snow, the Fruit Treasure returns!

Chapter 256 Ning Fengzhi refused, Pineapple Snow is mine.

She couldn't help but ask, "Sect Master Ning, these are four ten-thousand-year-old soul bones. Isn't this enough sincerity?"

Ning Fengzhi's expression remained unchanged, and he said firmly:
"Your Holiness, it is not that your sincerity is insufficient, but this matter involves many considerations of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and we simply cannot agree."

Bibi Dong thought Ning Fengzhi was dissatisfied with the small number of soul bones, and although she was somewhat displeased, she still kept a straight face and said in order to achieve her goal:
"In that case, I'll add another soul bone. Five ten-thousand-year soul bones, that should be enough, right?"

She stared intently at Ning Fengzhi, trying to detect a hint of wavering on his face.

However, Ning Fengzhi still refused without hesitation: "Your Holiness, I'm sorry, it's still not possible."

Bibi Dong could hardly believe her ears. Her patience was almost exhausted, but she still clung to a sliver of hope and gritted her teeth as she said:
"Alright, Sect Master Ning, I'll add another one for you. Six ten-thousand-year soul bones! This is the limit I can offer. I believe that no one in the entire Douluo Continent can offer a more generous deal."

Bibi Dong's anger flared up instantly. She felt that Ning Fengzhi was simply too tactless and even a little too demanding.

It should be understood that even for a powerful organization like the Spirit Hall, the number of ten-thousand-year soul bones is extremely limited, and each one is obtained by the Spirit Hall after going through countless hardships.

Now she took out six pieces at once, which is an unprecedentedly generous gesture.

Her face was grim, her gaze like a knife as she shot at Ning Fengzhi, her tone so cold it seemed to freeze:
"Ning Fengzhi, don't be too greedy! Six ten-thousand-year soul bones, what an enormous sincerity this is! In the entire Douluo Continent, who can offer such a condition? Don't think that the Spirit Hall's soul bones can be squandered at will."

Ning Fengzhi's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm. He knew he couldn't afford to lose to Bibi Dong in terms of momentum at this moment. Taking a deep breath, Ning Fengzhi slowly said:
“Your Holiness, I, Ning Fengzhi, am by no means a greedy person. It is just that these two disciples are of extraordinary significance to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and it is truly difficult to part with them. This has nothing to do with the number of soul bones, and I hope Your Holiness can understand.”

Ning Fengzhi gazed at Bibi Dong's figure, slowly shook his head, and his expression remained solemn.

He kept a somber expression and lowered his voice, as if talking to himself, or perhaps to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo: "This really isn't about soul bones."

Ning Fengzhi sighed softly, his gaze deep.

Pineapple Snow and Orange Fragrance are two children who are not geniuses in the conventional sense.

They are already able to summon the Fruit Warrior Mech, and the combat power unleashed by the Fruit Warrior Mech is in no way inferior to that of a Title Douluo.

At their current age, they already possess such abilities. Given time, their strength will surely reach a terrifying level, making them the pillars of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Therefore, no matter how many soul bones the Spirit Hall gives me, I absolutely cannot hand them over.

Seeing Bibi Dong's angry expression, Ning Fengzhi sorted out his thoughts and decided to make up an excuse to get rid of it.

After all, you can't just tell the truth like that.

He cleared his throat and said, "Actually, the reason I refused His Holiness the Pope just now was quite simple. My precious daughter Rongrong really likes Pineapple Snowflakes."

This Pineapple Snowball is someone I watched grow up, and she even became a disciple of Sword Douluo. Although our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School values ​​resources, we are not the kind of power that only seeks profit.

Even if I, Ning Fengzhi, am greedy for money, I cannot sell the children I've watched grow up to the Spirit Hall. The same goes for Cheng Liuxiang; they are the hope of their sects, and their worth cannot be measured by soul bones.

Sword Douluo immediately chimed in, saying solemnly, "That's right! Pineapple Snow is an exceptionally talented child with extremely high comprehension, and his understanding of swordsmanship far surpasses that of his peers. After teaching him for some time, I can sense that he will surely achieve great things in the future. I have already regarded him as my successor, how can I easily hand him over to someone else?"

Sword Douluo's eyes were filled with his high regard for Pineapple Snow and his protective affection for her.

Bone Douluo nodded slightly upon hearing this, a rare smile appearing on his face:
“That boy Cheng Liuxiang is quite good. I’ve already decided to take him as my disciple. So, Your Holiness the Pope… I apologize.”

As the three were talking, Ning Fengzhi was secretly worried. He knew that refusing Bibi Dong this time would definitely offend the Spirit Hall completely. Although he had made up such an excuse, the Spirit Hall would probably not believe it easily.

as predicted.

Bibi Dong's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water. She never expected that Pineapple Snow and Orange Fragrance held such an important place in the hearts of Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.

They had thought that the prestige of the Spirit Hall, coupled with the tempting offer of six ten-thousand-year-old soul bones, would somewhat sway Ning Fengzhi and the others, but now it seemed that such an exchange was simply impossible.

"Hmph, I didn't expect these two brats to be so highly regarded in your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Bibi Dong snorted coldly, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes, "Ning Fengzhi, you should think carefully. Is it worth it to completely antagonize the Spirit Hall for the sake of these two children?"

Ning Fengzhi met Bibi Dong's gaze calmly and without flinching:

“Your Holiness, my mind is made up. The children are of great significance to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and I cannot betray them for personal gain. As for our relationship with the Spirit Hall, I also hope to coexist peacefully, but I am afraid I cannot comply with that request.”

Sword Douluo, his body radiating a chilling sword intent, stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Ning Fengzhi:

"Your Holiness, please do not make things difficult for us any further. If you really want to resort to force, I, Chen Xin, will not be afraid."

Bone Douluo, with a slightly hunched back, exuded a fierce aura: "Hmph, if you want to take people away from us, you'll have to ask this old bone of mine if you agree first."

Bibi Dong's gaze swept back and forth between the three people, her hatred growing stronger.

However, she knew that taking action at this moment would be unwise. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had a profound foundation, and Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were exceptionally powerful. As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, she could not start a war without a reasonable reason.

After a long internal struggle, Bibi Dong finally suppressed her anger, her face darkening, and coldly said:
"Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, you'd better reconsider. My suggestion remains valid, and I await your reply at any time."

Her voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, carrying a hint of resentment and threat.

Having said that, she didn't linger any longer, turned around and strode away. Her golden robes fluttered wildly with her movements, and only when she disappeared from the entrance of the hall did an invisible sense of oppression slightly lessen.

Ning Fengzhi watched Bibi Dong's departing figure and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, but his brows remained furrowed, and he dared not relax for a moment.

“Bibi Dong won’t give up easily; we need to come up with a solution as soon as possible.”

His voice sounded slightly tired, yet it also conveyed a sense of determination.

Sword Douluo nodded slightly, his eyes full of vigilance: "That's right, the Spirit Hall will definitely take action. We must strengthen the sect's defenses and closely monitor the Spirit Hall's movements."

Bone Douluo grinned, revealing a few broken teeth, and said sinisterly, "Hmph, if they dare to come, I'll teach them a lesson."

Even so, he knew in his heart that the situation ahead would be extremely serious.

The three stood in the empty hall, lost in thought.

They knew that Bibi Dong's "waiting for a reply" was just a delaying tactic. A much bigger storm was brewing, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was already at the center of it. Every step they took from now on had to be taken with extreme caution, or else they would be doomed.
