Douluo Continent: Transmigrated into Tang San's Younger Sister and Became a God with Two Martia

Chapter 216 Departure

At first, Ma Hongjun didn't see anyone else, but when he heard Ning Rongrong's voice, he looked up and was startled.

Ma Hongjun looked surprised and flattered, saying, "Why is everyone here? Did you miss me?"

Ning Rongrong stood not far away with her hands on her hips and said, "Yes, it's been a long time. Everyone misses you."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun's eyes instantly welled up with tears. He said, "I knew it. You guys are the best to me. You were worried that my cultivation would be too hard, so you came all the way to find me. By the way, why didn't Oscar come?"

Ma Hongjun spent his entire childhood and adolescence at Shrek Academy with Dean Flander from a young age.

Oscar, on the other hand, had also come to Shrek Academy to study at a very early age. Therefore, the two had known each other for a long time and had formed a deep friendship. They often joked with each other, but in reality, they were inseparable and were best friends.

Now that he couldn't see Oscar, Ma Hongjun started to wonder if the guy was hiding in some corner again, as he always does, preparing to suddenly jump out and give him a big surprise.

Thinking of this, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but reveal a hopeful smile.

So he began to look around, carefully examining the crowds coming and going.

He searched from one end of the street to the other, leaving no corner unchecked where someone might be hiding, but to his disappointment, even after looking at almost everyone on the street, he still couldn't find Oscar.

The others standing nearby quickly noticed the doubt and hesitation on Ma Hongjun's face.

Ning Rongrong lowered her head slightly, her expression somewhat somber, and said in a low voice, "Oscar went out to cultivate, and we don't know exactly where he went, so..."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun was immediately surprised. He stared wide-eyed at Ning Rongrong, about to ask, "Wasn't Oscar going back with you?"

However, before he could finish saying the words "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School," Dai Mubai interrupted him, saying, "Fatty, this is not a good place to talk. We have something important to say to you."

The fat man nodded hastily, glanced at the wontons with reluctance, and said, "Let's talk at the inn."

After speaking, Ma Hongjun led everyone to his current inn room. At this time, Tang Nian told Ma Hongjun in detail about the succession of the Yama God to the divine position.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun proudly raised his head, "Let's see who dares to say that my martial soul is a chicken. Look, even a 200,000-year-old ferocious beast is afraid of my fire."

"Hmph! It's only because Oscar isn't here that I'd definitely show him my dashing style!"

As he spoke, Ma Hongjun's face was full of pride, his head held high, like a proud and spirited fighting rooster.

However, at this moment, Ning Rongrong lowered her head even further, looking somewhat lost and dejected. Her heart was filled with regret and self-blame. If she had told Oscar the truth sooner and told him that he couldn't come back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with her, perhaps the situation wouldn't be so bad now.

Tang Nian keenly sensed Ning Rongrong's emotional change, and without making a sound, she reached out and gently grasped Ning Rongrong's hand, squeezing it slightly.

Then, she lowered her voice and whispered in Ning Rongrong's ear, "Rongrong, don't forget what the master once said. For a food-type soul master, the primary task on the battlefield is to learn to protect oneself. Perhaps this training trip will not be a bad thing for Oscar, but may even become a rare opportunity."

As the saying goes, "A loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise."

Upon hearing Tang Nian's words, Ning Rongrong's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't speak.

In truth, she knew that Tang Nian was saying this to comfort herself, but when she thought of Oscar, who was known as a genius food-type soul master, and how he would have to venture out alone and endure such hardships if it weren't for her, she felt heartbroken.

Ma Hongjun had always been a bit of a simpleton, so he didn't think much of it. However, he reacted quickly when he saw Dai Mubai giving him winks. He glanced at Ning Rongrong and said, "When are we going to go to the inheritance of the Yama God? I haven't seen it yet. I have to see it properly this time."

Dai Mubai said, "This matter can't be delayed. Why don't you pack up and we'll set off now?"

Ma Hongjun nodded slightly in agreement, but then, as if remembering something important, he turned to Tang Nian and asked, "Nian Nian, where is Third Brother now? Should we go and call him along?"

Actually, Tang Nian had considered inviting Tang San along. However, Tang San was currently undergoing special training in the City of Slaughter, and Tang Nian didn't know what the situation was like there.

She herself failed to enter the City of Slaughter back then because of the God of Hell, so she really had no idea whether she could successfully enter this time.

Moreover, Dai Mubai and his group did not undergo Tang Hao's special training like Tang San did. A place like the Slaughter City must be full of unknown dangers and challenges. If they were sent to find Tang San rashly, they might encounter unforeseen circumstances.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

So, Tang Nian gently shook her head and said softly, "Brother is currently fully engaged in the special training mission that Father entrusted to him, and I'm afraid he won't be able to get away to come here in the short term. So, we can only rely on ourselves for this first assessment."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. After a while, he nodded as if he had understood something. Then, he turned around abruptly and hurriedly ran to his room, where he began to pack his belongings in a flurry.

Not long after, Ma Hongjun reappeared before the group. This time, he carried a small but exquisitely crafted bundle on his back, his face beaming with undisguised excitement. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "I've packed everything up! Let's set off immediately!"

Before he could finish speaking, Dai Mubai's gaze swept quickly over everyone present, and then he opened his mouth and said, "Alright, since that's the case, how about we set off now?" As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

The two nodded in agreement, both agreeing with the nod.
