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

Chapter 493 Ning Rongrong 'Admits Defeat'

"what!"

Ning Rongrong cried out in pain, struggling even more fiercely, her voice now filled with sobs and boundless rage, "Dai Chengfeng! Let me go!"

"I'm going to tell Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone! You're dead! Just wait and see how Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone teach you a lesson!"

"You dare threaten me?" Dai Chengfeng's men showed no mercy.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Three more blows followed, the force perfectly controlled, enough to make her feel pain without actually hurting her.

"Aaaaaah... you bastard!!!"

Ning Rongrong remained unconvinced.

clap clap-

A series of crisp sounds rang out.

Dai Chengfeng is not like Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, or Gu Rong; he has no intention of indulging this little devil from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

If he doesn't show his power, you might think he's a pushover...

Time passes minute by minute,
Ning Rongrong's struggles, which started fiercely, gradually became powerless.

Humiliation, pain, and a hint of submission to the powerful Dai Chengfeng that she herself was unwilling to admit were all intertwined.

Her struggles gradually weakened, replaced by suppressed, aggrieved sobs.

"Waaaaah...you bastard...why did you hit me...waaaah..."

The proud little princess's voice was now choked with sobs, and tears finally streamed down her face, wetting her cheeks.

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's cries, Dai Chengfeng's raised hand froze in mid-air.

He didn't really intend to do anything to her; he just wanted to teach her a lesson and let her know who was in charge.

Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, his anger subsided considerably.

He released his grip on Ning Rongrong's hands.

As soon as Ning Rongrong was freed, she immediately darted forward two steps like a startled rabbit.

Then she suddenly turned around, leaned against the wall, instinctively put her hands behind her back, her small face covered in tears, her big red eyes filled with grievance and a trace of fear, and glared fiercely at Dai Chengfeng.

"you you……"

She wanted to say something harsh, but seeing Dai Chengfeng's still serious expression, she hesitated.

Thinking of the burning pain from those few blows, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, and could only sob.

Dai Chengfeng looked at the little devil crying her eyes out in front of him, his tone softening slightly, but still retaining an undeniable sternness:
"Are you convinced?"

"If you're not satisfied, then you can go back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School right now and find your Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa to avenge you. I won't stop you!"

“Uh,” Ning Rongrong said. Although she liked to cause trouble, deep down, Dai Chengfeng brought her a lot of novelty and excitement that she had never experienced while staying in the sect.

If I get kicked out because of this...

"Ugh...I'm sorry."

A voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz escaped her lips. She lowered her head, not daring to look into Dai Chengfeng's eyes again.

"I...I know I was wrong...I shouldn't have caused trouble...I shouldn't have said those things...I'm sorry..."

Seeing her genuinely remorseful expression, Dai Chengfeng finally felt completely appeased.

He knew that with a little devil like Ning Rongrong who wouldn't listen to reason, sometimes you had to use some "tough" methods to teach her a lesson.

"Apologizing alone is not enough."

Dai Chengfeng's tone remained calm, "After you go back, do you know what to do?"

Ning Rongrong raised her tear-filled face, sobbing as she nodded, "I...I know...I'll go back and explain to Zhuqing and Nana...I'll say there's nothing between us...it's just...it's just that I deliberately caused trouble..."

"anything else?"

"And...and..." Ning Rongrong thought for a moment, then added, "I...I won't make jokes like that anymore..."

Dai Chengfeng then nodded slightly: "Remember, if there is a next time..."

Ning Rongrong instinctively brought her legs together, then covered her bottom with her hands, and quickly shook her head: "No! I really won't!"

Seeing her reflexive movements, Dai Chengfeng almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He suppressed a laugh and straightened his robes with feigned seriousness: "Alright, stop crying, wipe your tears."

Ning Rongrong wiped her tears with the back of her hand, looking aggrieved, but the crying gradually subsided.

"Let's go back. It's your turn to perform." Dai Chengfeng turned and walked towards the hotel entrance.

Ning Rongrong watched Dai Chengfeng's retreating figure, bit her lip, and finally took her still somewhat weak legs and obediently followed.

With each step she took, the burning sensation behind her reminded her of the "torture" she had just endured, making her cheeks burn. In her mind, she cursed Dai Chengfeng a thousand times over, calling him a "big bastard" and a "filthy rogue"...

But on the surface, they dared not act recklessly in the slightest.

The two returned to the restaurant one after the other.

The atmosphere in the restaurant seemed even more stagnant than when they left.

The water in front of Zhu Zhuqing seemed untouched, and only a small piece of fruit was missing.

Hu Liena had already put down the silver spoon, placed her hands folded on the table, and calmly looked towards the doorway.

High Priestess Zhu Hongye continued to eat her breakfast slowly and deliberately, seemingly oblivious to everything around her, but there was a faint smile playing on her lips.

Upon seeing Dai Chengfeng and Ning Rongrong return, and noticing that Ning Rongrong clearly had been crying—her eyes were red and swollen, her face was streaked with tears, and her gait seemed a little awkward—a faint flicker of emotion flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's icy eyes.

Hu Liena raised her eyebrows almost imperceptibly.

Dai Chengfeng took a deep breath and gave Ning Rongrong a look.

Ning Rongrong received the signal, sniffed, walked to the dining table, and faced Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena.

"Zhuqing, Nana..."

Ning Rongrong nervously twisted the hem of her clothes with her hands, lowered her head, and began to confess in detail: "I was just... making things up."

"Actually...it's because last night, I saw you and Nana go to Dai Chengfeng's room one after the other...I...I just thought it was fun, I wanted to cause trouble, I wanted to see Dai Chengfeng scrambling around..."

Zhu Zhuqing's furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

She understood Ning Rongrong's personality; this "little witch" style of doing things was indeed in line with her own.

A knowing glint flashed in Hu Liena's eyes.

She already felt that Ning Rongrong's behavior was a bit too deliberate, and now it seems that it was indeed a prank.

But... the price of this prank, judging from how heartbroken she is, she probably got a good "lecture" from Dai Chengfeng outside.

Thinking of this, Hu Liena's lips curled into a faint, enigmatic smile as her gaze swept over Dai Chengfeng...

He seemed to be wondering what methods this guy had used to manage to subdue the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School so well that she obediently returned to admit her mistake.

After a while, Hu Liena chuckled softly, picked up the small silver spoon again, and said slowly, "So that's how it is."

"Rongrong is really... still a child at heart."

Upon seeing this, Dai Chengfeng finally felt relieved.

"Rongrong is just a little naughty. I've already talked to her about it. Alright, alright, everyone, let's eat breakfast."

As he spoke, he quickly walked to an empty seat, picked up a piece of bread, and took a big bite, as if celebrating his survival.

Ning Rongrong also carefully sat down in her seat, picked up her utensils, and ate in small bites.

This breakfast, which was full of twists and turns, was finally over without any major incidents.

After breakfast and a short rest, the group left the inn, boarded the carriage, and continued their journey towards the Starry Sky Forest.
