Chapter 127 – The Entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan Is Your Dowry!
Now, both the Star Luo and Heaven Dou Empires' top prodigies were gathered at Shrek Academy.
Once these people matured, the Shrek Academy founded by Flender would become a star among academies.
He himself would step into the circle of true elites.
As the harvest approached, he absolutely could not afford to offend these powerful factions.
Otherwise, everything could vanish like water poured into a bamboo basket.
Seeing Flender's cold attitude, Ma Hongjun immediately stopped talking.
Dai Mubai didn't voice any objection either.
Among the Six Great Clans were both the White Tiger Clan of the Dai family and the Zhu family; he knew perfectly well what was at stake.
Since Flender had already settled the matter with just a few words, even if Yu Xiaogang was reluctant, all he could do was postpone the team's training until later.
Ning Rongrong, however, was quite satisfied with Flender's attitude.
No matter whether he approved or not, she was going to go today.
Her request for leave was merely a courtesy notice.
She nodded to the others, then walked directly toward Soto City.
She hadn't seen Dugu Feng for more than two years.
Ning Rongrong still clearly remembered the years they had spent together at Heaven Dou Royal Junior Academy.
From the very first meeting, she and the brothers Feng Ling and Feng Li had been unconvinced by Dugu Feng.
After being defeated by him in a spirit duel, they trained with all their might just to catch up with him.
They were defeated again.
Later, Dugu Feng disappeared for three years. When he reappeared, his strength had grown so overwhelming that none among their peers could rival him.
At that time, Ning Rongrong lost all thought of competition against him.
Such talent was rarely seen—he was clearly a destined Titled Douluo.
Dugu Feng perfectly matched her ideal image of a partner worthy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's heir.
With that realization, Ning Rongrong trained alongside Dugu Feng for over half a year.
That period became the most fulfilling time in her cultivation journey—and the time she began to fall for him.
She was almost certain that Dugu Feng was the one destined for her.
But then Bone Douluo told her the grim truth about the Dugu Clan's martial soul defect—
that the death rate of any partner of a Dugu Clan spirit master was nearly one hundred percent.
It had felt as though the sky collapsed upon her. Reality was unbearably cruel.
She cried for a while, then slowly regained her composure.
In the end, she obeyed Ning Fengzhi's arrangement and came to Shrek Academy.
At Shrek, she met geniuses like Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Zhu Zhuqing. Yet compared to Dugu Feng's monstrous prowess, they all fell short.
Even Tang San, with his twin martial souls—in Ning Rongrong's eyes, neither his cultivation speed nor combat ability could rival Dugu Feng's.
Later, she learned from the clan that during his three-year disappearance, Dugu Feng had gone to the City of Slaughter and obtained the Killing God Domain.
That confirmed once again how extraordinary he was.
This time, she felt a new sense of confidence.
Even if Dugu Feng's martial soul carried defects, he could overcome them.
In her heart, Dugu Feng was such a monster—one worthy of being called otherworldly.
And Ning Rongrong was not willing to miss out on a monster like him.
If she was to inherit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan in the future, how could she secure her position as sect master without a powerful partner?
Ning Rongrong longed to see Dugu Feng again.
She didn't know exactly what she would say or do when they met, but she knew one thing clearly—
if she didn't go to him, Dugu Feng, with his cold and proud nature, would certainly not take the initiative to see her.
That heartless man—his eyes were only filled with cultivation.
Cursing him silently twice, she quickened her pace toward the Great Spirit Arena.
Soon, she arrived.
With her identity, she only needed to reveal her martial soul, and the attendants immediately led her to the room where Dugu Feng was staying.
She took a deep breath, a determined light glowing in her eyes, and was just about to knock on the door—
Before she could raise her hand, the door opened.
Dugu Feng was standing there, looking straight at her.
"Rongrong, long time no see!"
Caught off guard, Ning Rongrong was momentarily stunned.
She steadied herself and said, "You came to Soto City and didn't even tell me!
Even my dad said you should come visit me.
But you didn't come—looks like you've been living too freely in Heaven Dou City and forgotten me already!"
Her tone was casual, as if two old classmates were chatting.
She stepped inside naturally.
Dressed in a sky-blue dress with a pale gold embroidered belt around her waist, her figure looked graceful and light.
Clearly, she had taken special care to prepare for this meeting.
Two years had changed Ning Rongrong. At thirteen, she looked far more mature, making Dugu Feng's eyes light up.
"Rongrong, you're so beautiful—how could I ever forget you?" Dugu Feng said.
"That flat tone—is that your way of a compliment?"
Ning Rongrong huffed playfully and turned away, giving him her elegant back as she stood by the window.
Though secretly delighted by his words, she was slightly disappointed by how calm he seemed.
After all, she'd put so much effort into her appearance.
"Rongrong has grown up. You truly surprised me today," Dugu Feng said, walking over and gently stroking her silky hair.
Ning Rongrong's heartbeat quickened.
"Just surprised you?" she asked nervously, turning around.
Dugu Feng gazed at her delicate face—then without hesitation, pulled her into his arms by the waist.
Her body stiffened as his powerful aura enveloped her.
Ning Rongrong could no longer restrain herself; like a bird flying into its nest, she embraced him tightly.
"Couldn't you have come first? Why did I have to come looking for you?"
Her eyes glistened red.
Dugu Feng chuckled softly, patting her back. "My martial soul is flawed—aren't you afraid?"
"If I were afraid, I wouldn't have come.
When Grandpa Bone told me about your clan's martial soul, I was hesitant, even scared.
But after being apart for two years, I thought it through—you're my chosen partner."
Ning Rongrong smiled proudly as she spoke.
Dugu Feng laughed helplessly. "You little witch. In the future, I'll be the patriarch of the Dugu Clan, and you'll be the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
Two great powers—who will hold authority?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes shone mischievously. "Of course I'll listen to you! But Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone are beyond my control. If your strength surpasses theirs, I'm sure they'll follow you too!"
She had clearly considered this question long ago.
One had to admit—she was clever.
"You really are a sly little witch, painting me a pretty picture," Dugu Feng said calmly.
"Hehe."
Ning Rongrong giggled triumphantly.
"As long as your strength is great enough, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan will be your dowry!"
Dugu Feng's eyes widened slightly.
He glanced around suspiciously. "Don't tell me your Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone are hiding nearby—ready to hit me with a spirit skill the moment I even think of accepting that dowry?"
