Chapter 102: How Can They Sleep at This Age?

Chapter 102: How Can They Sleep at This Age?

Kong couldn't quite recall how he managed to escape from the Pure Heartland. In that atmosphere, he was trembling slightly.

As for helping his wife put on those Ice Silkworm Stockings, that would have to wait for now.

"Whew~"

Kong let out a slow breath and then fell into deep thought. There was something off about Lady Raiden Shogun—nowadays, she seemed to enjoy competing with Raiden Ei.

How strange.

Kong was a bit puzzled. After thinking it over, he decided not to dwell on it.

As night fell, Kong found a random hotel to stay in.

Inside the girls' dormitory at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing shared the same dorm room.

"Zhuqing, I feel a bit unwilling to accept this."

Ning Rongrong was combing her hair. If she didn't do this before bed, her hair would be a tangled mess by the time she woke up.

As she combed her hair, she spoke to Zhu Zhuqing, who was silently lost in thought nearby.

Zhu Zhuqing was startled, coming back to her senses. She looked at Ning Rongrong and said, "Rongrong, does being unwilling help? I… I'm not willing either!"

Kong was the first boy Zhu Zhuqing had ever liked, so how could she possibly be willing to let go?

"I, Ning Rongrong, am not someone who gives up easily. That woman puts a lot of pressure on me, but I'm younger than she is!"

As Ning Rongrong spoke, her pretty face flushed. Even though she was talking to her best friend, she couldn't help but blush at this kind of topic.

She had heard that her father, Ning Fengzhi, and her Sword Grandpa had already gone to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to discuss a marriage alliance. Originally, she had been against it, but if the match was with Kong, she had no objections at all.

If it worked out, she'd be the one profiting!

"Besides, with my parents' orders and the matchmaker's word, when the time comes... hehehe…"

Ning Rongrong flashed a mysterious smile.

If she agreed to this marriage, it would be under the authority of her parents and the matchmaker, making it unbreakable.

If she didn't agree, then it would be a case of "we're just not fated to be together," and in the next life, they'd be cattle or horses...

"Zhuqing, if it works out, how about we both marry him together?"

Ning Rongrong said with a big smile, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

She really needed Zhu Zhuqing's help. Though her combat strength wasn't great, she could support Ning Rongrong in other ways!

Zhu Zhuqing's face turned red, and her hand paused mid-comb. She never expected Ning Rongrong to say something so bold.

She really was daring!

"Rongrong, I don't mind."

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, speaking in a soft voice.

She was already part of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Ning Rongrong had promised her before that if she wasn't willing, she would never force her into a marriage alliance.

It was for this reason that she had joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. If they had tried to arrange a marriage for her, she would rather die than agree.

But if the match was with Kong, well... she might consider it...

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong was overjoyed. With Zhu Zhuqing's support, how could she not achieve her grand plan?

There was no way Dugu Yan could compete with the two of them, but as for Raiden Shogun, she was a very formidable opponent.

With such a strong rival, they would have to join forces!

"We need even stronger allies! Oh, right, Ye Lingling would be a good choice..."

At this point, Ning Rongrong paused, remembering that Ye Lingling seemed to be Dugu Yan's close friend.

"Forget it, Ye Lingling won't work. If we bring her in, who knows whose side she'd take!"

Ning Rongrong shook her head, dismissing the idea.

Ye Lingling was someone she valued highly. The Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul was, in some ways, even more promising than her own.

If it weren't for the scarcity of the Ye family's lineage and the fact that the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul was cursed by the heavens—only two could exist on the Douluo Continent at any one time—there was no telling who would be the leader of the top auxiliary clan.

The Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul was said to be able to heal as long as there was still a breath left!

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda didn't have that kind of effect.

"It's too early to talk about this. We should focus on cultivating for now."

After Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, she paused for a moment and then continued, "Even Dugu Yan, who is at the Soul King level, has gone into seclusion to cultivate. She must have suffered some kind of blow; otherwise, she wouldn't be doing this. We're only at the Soul Grandmaster level right now. If we don't have strong combat power when the time comes…"

We won't even be able to compete for Kong...

Zhu Zhuqing didn't finish her sentence, but Ning Rongrong understood her meaning. Indeed, even with her enhancing Zhu Zhuqing's abilities, could they really stand up to Dugu Yan?

That Raiden Shogun—just from her aura alone, you could tell she wasn't an ordinary person. Her strength must be absolutely terrifying!

"Hmm!"

Ning Rongrong nodded vigorously, her expression resolute as she said, "We really should focus on our cultivation."

For the first time, she felt a true desire for power!

Sleep? How could they possibly sleep at their age?

The two girls didn't sleep; instead, they sat cross-legged and began to meditate on their soul power.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.

Kong, on the other hand, spent his days doing almost nothing, wandering around Heaven Dou City like a loafer.

From time to time, he'd go shopping with Raiden Ei, or have a meal with Lady Raiden Shogun. His days were carefree and leisurely.

While his life was pleasant, others were not having it so easy.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin went to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with high hopes, only to return disappointed. No one knew what Yu Yuanzhen had discussed with Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, but when they left, their expressions were not good.

Over at Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai was completely stunned.

"Father... Father really agreed to it. Sigh~"

Staring at the letter in his hand, Dai Mubai wanted to say something but couldn't find the words.

What was written there was something he couldn't accept right away!

His engagement with Zhu Zhuqing had been annulled, and from now on, they were strangers. Zhu Zhuqing was no longer a daughter of the Zhu family. As for his battle with Davis, he would have to figure that out on his own.

"To be discarded like this, I must be the first prince in the history of the Star Luo Empire to experience this."

"They want me to figure it out on my own? Where the hell am I supposed to find someone who can perform a martial soul fusion technique with me?"

This was what left Dai Mubai feeling numb. He had originally thought that even if Zhu Zhuqing broke off the engagement, the Zhu family would still send another girl of his age to be engaged to him.

Losing Zhu Zhuqing, he had hoped to gain another girl from the Zhu family, possibly at the Soul Elder level. But what happened? They told Dai Mubai to figure it out himself!

If he had a solution, why would he have fled to Heaven Dou Empire, to Shrek Academy in the first place?

"Tang San, Yu Xiaogang…"

"The Clear Sky Clan has sealed its mountain; I may not be able to gain their support. As for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, I've offended their young master…"

"No, as long as I'm sincere enough, such a small matter shouldn't be a big deal!"
