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

Chapter 499 Side Effect: Aphrodisiac?!

"Special? What special method?"

Ning Rongrong pressed for an answer, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.

Dai Chengfeng took a deep breath and lowered his voice, saying, "Um... it's just... a little... aphrodisiac."

"To arouse... or to stimulate desire?"

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened instantly, and her pretty face turned bright red, like a ripe apple.

She instinctively took a half step back, her hands unconsciously protecting her in front of her, her eyes filled with shock, doubt, and a hint of embarrassment at being mocked.

"Dai Chengfeng! What nonsense are you spouting! Where in the world is there such a strange elixir?"

"You...you wouldn't have made this up on purpose to...try to take advantage of me, would you?!"

Just say it!

How could this guy give in so easily! He was waiting for her here all along!

Ning Rongrong was both ashamed and angry. The gratitude she had just felt for Dai Chengfeng vanished instantly, replaced by strong vigilance and doubt.

Upon seeing Ning Rongrong's reaction, Dai Chengfeng knew she had misunderstood, and he was immediately annoyed, giving her a disapproving glare.
"Hey! You little brat, what kind of nonsense are you thinking about all day long?"

"Do you think I, Dai Chengfeng, am that kind of person? To take advantage of you? With your skinny frame, what advantage could you possibly have?"

"Who are you calling a bean sprout!"

Ning Rongrong, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristled, puffed out her chest—which was already beginning to develop and was beginning to take shape—and said in shame and indignation:

"Stop changing the subject!"

"There are countless elixirs in the world, so why does yours have... such a lewd effect? ​​How can you expect me to believe you!"

"Dirty?"

Dai Chengfeng was so angry he laughed. He spread his hands, looking helpless. "Fine, I'm really biting the hand that feeds me. I don't appreciate a good heart."

"One of the main ingredients of this elixir is extremely yang and hot in nature, containing a vast amount of life energy. While stimulating potential and tempering the body, it will also cause the blood and qi in the body to surge, producing some... well, uncontrollable effects."

"That's simply the natural property of its medicine, how did you come to see it as vulgar?"

As he spoke, he pointed towards the door: "You don't believe me?"

"Then go ask Zhuqing now, and then ask Nana!"

"Did they go through the same thing when they took similar pills?"

"If it weren't for the spring in Wuhun City suppressing the medicinal power, even I would have been in a panic!"

"Do you think helping your Dharma protectors is an easy thing? You're really ungrateful!"

Seeing Dai Chengfeng's explanation, Ning Rongrong's doubts were somewhat shaken.

After all, this doesn't seem fake...

Thinking it over, she carefully observed Dai Chengfeng's expression. She noticed that his eyes were clear, his tone was angry, and he had mentioned Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena...

Is it true?
Zhu Zhuqing has a cold and aloof personality, and Hu Liena, though charming, has her own pride. If Dai Chengfeng really takes this opportunity to do something improper, they will never let it go, and it is impossible for them to be so...close to Dai Chengfeng now.

Ning Rongrong's mind raced as she quickly analyzed the pros and cons.

"Really...really?"

Ning Rongrong's tone softened slightly, but the scrutiny in her eyes hadn't completely faded. "Are there really such...strange pills in the world?" Seeing Ning Rongrong's still "you're definitely lying to me" expression, Dai Chengfeng completely lost his temper and waved his hand.
"Fine, fine. Since you doubt my intentions, then I won't give you this pill."

"I was originally hoping to see how the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, under the influence of the immortal herb, could break its destiny and evolve into the legendary Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda..."

"It now seems that some people don't need this opportunity."

"Just relax and hold onto your title of 'Number One Auxiliary Martial Soul in the World' and stay stuck at level 79 for the rest of your life, then never mind what I said."

Dai Chengfeng's words, though spoken slowly, struck Ning Rongrong like a thunderbolt.

"The Nine-Treasured Glazed Pagoda?!"

Ning Rongrong gasped in shock, her beautiful eyes widening instantly, her heart pounding wildly as if it were about to leap out of her chest.

Nine Treasures Glazed Tower!
For the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, this is merely a legend existing in ancient books and passed down orally from elders!
It is the ultimate dream that countless generations of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters have longed for but could never achieve!
What does it mean to break through the shackles of seventy-nine levels and achieve the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda?
This means that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support capabilities will truly stand at the pinnacle of the continent, with no rivals!
This means that Ning Rongrong will become the only person in the sect's modern history to break through the Seven Treasures Limit!
This temptation is too great!

It was big enough for her to temporarily suppress all her shyness and doubts about the so-called "side effects"!

She instantly forgot about any aphrodisiac effects, rushed forward, and grabbed Dai Chengfeng's arm tightly, as if afraid he would really regret it.

Her face instantly lit up with a sickeningly sweet smile, and her voice returned to its previous coquettish tone, even carrying a hint of ingratiation:
"Brother Dai~ Brother Dai~ I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! I shouldn't have doubted you!"

"You're so magnanimous, don't hold a grudge against a young woman like me!"

She shook Dai Chengfeng's arm, looking at him expectantly, "It was my ignorance, my wicked thoughts, that led me to misunderstand your good intentions!"

"You're a gentleman, upright and honest, how could you lie to me? It's all my fault!"

Dai Chengfeng was amused by her sudden change of attitude, from arrogant to obsequious, faster than flipping through a book, but he held back, maintaining a stern face and glancing at her sideways.
"Oh? You believe it now?"

"Don't you think I'm vulgar? Don't you think I have ulterior motives?"

"Believe! Believe a hundred times! Believe a thousand times!"

Ning Rongrong nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice, "Brother, I believe whatever you say!"

"I was wrong just now. I judged you by my own standards! Please forgive me this time, okay?"

As she spoke, she used her charm again, her voice so soft and sweet it could drip water.

Looking at the charming and beautiful little devil in front of him, Dai Chengfeng only wanted to take the opportunity to "punish" her a little and make her owe him a big favor. Once he achieved his goal, that would be enough.

He sighed helplessly and shook his head: "Oh well, what can I do? I'm too soft-hearted."

"Since you sincerely admitted your mistake, I won't hold it against you this time."

"Yay! You're the best, brother!"

Ning Rongrong immediately cheered, her face beaming with a bright and dazzling smile.

"but,"

Dai Chengfeng changed the subject, his expression turning serious again, "I am not exaggerating when it comes to side effects."

"Do you want to take it right now? Or should we wait until we find a suitable environment, a place where the medicine can be suppressed, before we decide?"

Ning Rongrong's smile faded slightly. She took a deep breath, and the playful look in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a rare seriousness and stubbornness.

"Dai Chengfeng, have you always thought that I, Ning Rongrong, am just a spoiled young lady who can't endure hardship?"

"Impulsive, reckless, and only knows how to whine and act spoiled?"
