Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 479 Ning Rongrong's Plea

"Ning Rongrong?"

Ning Rongrong, who had been discovered, froze instantly.

She slowly turned around, forcing an awkward yet ingratiating smile: "Dai...Dai Chengfeng..."

Dai Chengfeng looked at her and asked with some helplessness, "I'm going to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a spirit ring, not to travel around. The journey may not be peaceful."

"And I remember your soul power level shouldn't be high enough to require acquiring a third soul ring, right?"

"Why are you packing your bags and getting on the carriage too?"

Caught red-handed, Ning Rongrong's face immediately fell, filled with grievance and complaint. She stomped her foot and said:
"You're still saying that!"

"Back in Heaven Dou City, you clearly promised me that you would show me around properly when I came to Spirit City!"

"You agreed again this time."

"The results of it?"

"I've been here for two days, and I've only seen you once! We barely even exchanged a few words!"

"Now that I've finally seen you again, you're about to leave!"

"You heartless bastard! You broke your promise!"

"Do you think you don't need me anymore, so you're just abandoning me?"

Her string of complaints was clear and loud, especially the words "heartless man," which were clearly heard by everyone present.

Instantly, Dai Chengfeng felt several gazes focusing on him.

The mother, Zhu Hongxiu, wore a playful expression that said, "I understand."

Hu Liena crossed her arms, a half-smile on her face, her eyes filled with scrutiny.

Even the usually aloof Zhu Zhuqing let out a cold snort, and the temperature around her seemed to drop several degrees.

Dai Chengfeng was immediately at his wit's end and hurriedly waved his hands to explain, "Hey, hey, hey! Rongrong! You can't just say things like that!"

"What do you mean by a heartless man? Our relationship is completely innocent!"

"Nana, Zhuqing, don't listen to her nonsense!"

"Rongrong, what you said is too easy for people to misunderstand!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue, made a face, and then clasped her hands together, adopting a pitiful and pleading posture: "Dai Chengfeng, I was wrong! I didn't mean it that way!"

"I'm just... I'm so bored being all alone in Wuhun City, can you take me there?"

"I promise I won't cause you any trouble!"

"Besides, I'm a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and my martial soul is very useful! It might even come in handy at a crucial moment!"

"Please, take me to see it!"

Looking at Ning Rongrong's tearful, though mostly feigned, pitiful appearance, and feeling the increasingly "kind" gazes of Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing beside him, Dai Chengfeng felt utterly powerless.

He knew that if he didn't agree, given Ning Rongrong's mischievous nature, who knew what even more shocking things she might say.

At that point, he'll be in a truly hopeless situation.

"Ugh……"

Dai Chengfeng sighed deeply, rubbed his temples, and reluctantly conceded, "Alright, alright, I give up."

"I can take you with me, but you must obey my orders the whole way and not act on your own. You must follow my instructions. Otherwise, I will immediately send someone to take you back to Wuhun City. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing Dai Chengfeng's agreement, Ning Rongrong's mood instantly brightened, a radiant smile spreading across her face as she exclaimed joyfully:

"I heard it!"

"Dai Chengfeng, you're the best! I promise I'll be a good boy and listen to you!"

As he spoke, he was overjoyed, as if afraid that Dai Chengfeng would change his mind, and was the first to climb into the carriage.

Dai Chengfeng watched her retreating figure and shook his head helplessly once again.

He turned to Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing with a slightly ingratiating smile, but only received a cryptic glance from the two beauties before gracefully boarding the carriage one after the other.

The high priest smiled and nodded to Dai Chengfeng, indicating that everything was ready. Dai Chengfeng bid farewell to his mother one last time, took a deep breath, and stepped into the carriage.

The horned-scaled horse let out a low neigh, and the carriage slowly started moving, leaving the headquarters of the Spirit Hall and heading further and further away along the wide road towards the vast and mysterious Star Dou Great Forest in the distance.

inside the carriage.

Dai Chengfeng sat in the middle, with Hu Liena, who smiled charmingly and occasionally "interrogated" him with her eyes, on his left.

On the right is Zhu Zhuqing, who has an expressionless face but exudes a chilling aura.

Opposite her was Ning Rongrong, her face full of curiosity, looking around.

He was still holding Qiu'er, who was dozing comfortably, in his arms.

"Sigh, it seems that this journey to obtain a spirit ring was destined to be anything but peaceful from the very beginning."

Dai Chengfeng shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, at the highest window of the Spirit Hall's sleeping quarters.

A figure appeared out of nowhere.

Bibi Dong stood there, the morning breeze ruffling her hair, her gaze fixed on the carriage that gradually became a small black dot until it completely disappeared from sight.

…………

…………

I've been traveling all day.

As the setting sun painted the horizon a brilliant orange-red, Dai Chengfeng's carriage finally entered a town—Qingmu Town.

Although Aoki Town is called a town, its size and liveliness are in no way inferior to some small cities.

The area was bustling with traffic and crowds, and Soul Masters carrying weapons could be seen everywhere. The air was filled with a unique atmosphere that blended adventure, wildness, and commerce.

The group checked into a hotel called "Breath of the Forest," the town's most luxurious inn.

After a whole day of bumpy travel, even a Soul Master would inevitably feel somewhat tired.

After settling her luggage and enjoying a sumptuous dinner with local specialties at the hotel restaurant, Ning Rongrong's bright eyes began to wander restlessly, taking in the street scene outside the window as the streetlights began to illuminate the evening.

“Dai Chengfeng, Nana, Zhu Qing,”

Ning Rongrong put down her cutlery, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "We've been traveling all day, our bones are about to fall apart!"

"Look how lively it is outside! Shall we go out for a stroll tonight?"

"Just think of it as a way to relax, okay?"

She was mainly speaking to Dai Chengfeng, but the clever little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School didn't forget to bring Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing into the picture as allies.

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena's beautiful eyes also revealed a hint of interest.

She grew up in Wuhun City and, as a disciple of the Pope, didn't have many opportunities to go out and train. Strolling through a border night market full of exotic charm was a novel experience for her.

She gently wiped the corner of her mouth and turned her gaze to Dai Chengfeng.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, the slight upturn of his lips already conveyed his attitude.

Zhu Zhuqing remained aloof, but perhaps the warmth of dinner brought a slight blush to her fair cheeks. She glanced at the bustling crowd outside the window and said softly:
"I'm free to do it."

The pressure was once again placed on Dai Chengfeng.

He glanced at Ning Rongrong, whose face was full of anticipation, then caught a glimpse of the barely perceptible joy in Hu Liena's eyes, and sensed Zhu Zhuqing's "going with the flow" but not opposing stance...

Knowing that if he refused, Ning Rongrong would probably start her "condemnation" again.

Moreover, he himself felt that it was not a bad thing to let everyone relax their tense nerves.

“Alright,” Dai Chengfeng smiled and stood up. “Since you’re all tired, it’s good to go for a walk and get familiar with the surroundings.”

"But it's agreed that you must not get separated from others, and you must not cause trouble. You must be back to rest before 9 PM, as we need to get up early to continue our journey tomorrow."

"Know it!"

Ning Rongrong cheered and stood up impatiently, pulling Hu Liena, who was closest to her, out of the room.
