Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 422 Zhu Zhuqing Signs "Selling Herself" Agreement

The next morning.

Lin Xiao left home early.

Last night, Shuiyue'er also learned about the trip to Poseidon Island and had no objection to it. Dugu Bo still prefers to venture into deep mountains and forests, and Ye Qingxian will inform him when the time comes.

Lin Xiao's trip was to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

His relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was largely based on mutual interests. Although there was also affection involved, Lin Xiao firmly believed that shared interests were the best weapon for uniting people.

Ning Fengzhi seemed to have seen through it all.

Even if Lin Xiao's decision would harm the interests of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he would stand firmly on Lin Xiao's side, just for the possibility of "one person attaining enlightenment, and all his relatives and friends ascending to heaven".

Are the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School willing to be treated like chickens and dogs?
It depends on the person's status!
Moreover, as long as Lin Xiao helped Ning Rongrong evolve her martial soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and as long as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School survives and Ning Rongrong doesn't die, Ning Fengzhi's losses are negligible.

……

Qibao Glazed Sect.

Upon learning that Lin Xiao was coming to visit, Ning Fengzhi immediately put aside all his other affairs and invited Lin Xiao to the VIP reception room to sit down and have a detailed discussion.

"Uncle Ning, how have you been lately?"

Lin Xiao exchanged a few pleasantries.

Ning Fengzhi laughed heartily, "Early after the beast tide, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was already the de facto number one sect in the world, and it has been busy expanding all this time."

"Unfortunately, due to the nature of my martial soul, I can only proceed cautiously and gradually."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is different from other sects.

It must be stable.

Otherwise, blind expansion will only sow the seeds of disaster for the sect.

After chatting for a while, Lin Xiao and Ning Fengzhi got down to business.

"Uncle Ning, how is Rongrong doing lately?"

Ning Fengzhi sighed.

"Rongrong is doing well. She has grown up without us even realizing it. She has become much more mature and composed. Recently, she has started to learn about the family business and has also become more diligent in her cultivation."

However, this girl doesn't seem to have any interest in boys at all. Ning Fengzhi tried to probe her indirectly, but Ning Rongrong only said that she has lofty ambitions and is not interested in romance.

But Ning Fengzhi could roughly guess that this girl was probably in a one-sided love affair...

Lin Xiao was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Ning Rongrong has changed so much?
“I’m so happy that Rongrong is getting better and better.”

Lin Xiao then said:
"I came here because I wanted to ask Uncle Ning and Rongrong for their opinions on something."

As he spoke, Lin Xiao recounted the events concerning Seagod Island and the Nine Trials of Seagod to Ning Fengzhi in detail. Ning Fengzhi was initially shocked, but his astonishment only grew, to the point that he suddenly stood up.

"Good nephew!"

Ning Fengzhi gripped Lin Xiao's hand tightly, his expression deeply moved.

"I really don't know how to thank you enough..."

"It's kind of you that you always think of Rongrong when something good happens."

Lin Xiaoyun said calmly:
"Uncle Ning, there's no need to get agitated."

"Helping Rongrong is also helping myself."

Ning Fengzhi certainly understood this principle.

Besides feeling excited, he also secretly felt lucky.

If it weren't for the unexpected turn of events that brought Lin Xiao into his life, and his own boldness in placing repeated heavy bets, none of the subsequent events would have occurred.

Today it is today.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is now inextricably linked to Lin Xiao.

He could only avoid being kicked off the ship by Lin Xiao by constantly proving his worth.

"Perhaps, the old way of doing business is no longer suitable."

"What is more valuable than a transaction is loyalty."

This is also Ning Fengzhi's biggest bargaining chip...

……

Ning Rongrong, dressed in a white dress, walked into the reception room, looking youthful, beautiful, and charming.

Behind them followed a girl in a black bodysuit, with a youthful face and large breasts, a hot figure, yet a doll-like face and a very aloof temperament. It was none other than Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School protects Zhu Zhuqing, who is essentially a wealthy young lady's companion and also responsible for protecting Ning Rongrong's safety.

Upon seeing Lin Xiao, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were both slightly taken aback, and then couldn't help but show their joy.

Ning Rongrong jogged forward and took Lin Xiao's arm.

"Lin Xiao, what brings you to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

In Ning Rongrong's memory, Lin Xiao was a very busy person.

Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips, unlike Ning Rongrong who stepped forward with joy, she simply followed silently behind, quietly watching Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao flicked Ning Rongrong's forehead.

"Thin."

Compared to before, Ning Rongrong has indeed become much thinner, and she appears taller and more elegant.

Ning Rongrong said with a grin:
"Isn't it because you, Lin Xiao, haven't come to see me? You've made me so worried that I've lost weight!"

"Luckily, Zhuqing is here to keep me company, otherwise it would be too boring."

Lin Xiao laughed and said, "You won't be bored from now on."

He explained the purpose of his trip to Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong's cherry lips parted in surprise, then her eyes gradually became excited. She wanted to jump up and kiss Lin Xiao on the face, but Lin Xiao blocked her with his hand.

"Hey, you're all grown up now, you can't just kiss me like that anymore."

"Otherwise, your sister Lingling will definitely be jealous."

Ning Rongrong pursed her lips, but didn't press the matter further.

She has been receiving some of the Chamber of Commerce's support these past few days, and under Ning Fengzhi's deliberate neglect, she has experienced the harsh realities of society.

She learned patience and how to wait. As long as she's alive and well, there will always be opportunities!
Lin Xiao turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing.

"And you, Zhu Zhuqing, you go too."

Just nine simple words.

This caused Zhu Zhuqing, who had been standing silently to the side, to tremble uncontrollably, her pupils dilating as if an earthquake had struck.

"I...me?"

She pointed to herself, somewhat incredulously.

Lin Xiao nodded.

"However, this is not free, Zhu Zhuqing. I am giving you this opportunity based on my understanding of your character, but you need to sign an agreement with me."

Lin Xiao took out the agreement that he had prepared long ago.

Zhu Zhuqing took it and examined it carefully.

The agreement stated that Lin Xiao had already helped Zhu Zhuqing before. If Zhu Zhuqing chose to go to Seagod Island this time, she would have to obey Lin Xiao's orders for ten years after leaving Seagod Island until she was promoted to Title Douluo, even if it was a life-threatening mission.

He will only be released when the agreement expires.

Lin Xiao added:
"If you feel uncomfortable, no one will force you."

Zhu Zhuqing replied without hesitation:
"I am willing!"

"But there's one thing, could you change it?"

Lin Xiao frowned, and even Ning Fengzhi frowned secretly.

Zhu Zhuqing seems to be getting a little greedy...

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuqing pointed to the ten-year deadline after being promoted to Title Douluo and said:
"Ten years is too short, how about a hundred years?"

Lin Xiao: ? ? ?
Ning Fengzhi: ? ? ?

Ning Rongrong: “…”

All three of them focused their gaze on Zhu Zhuqing's face.

Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed red instantly. She lowered her head and stammered:

"I...I just didn't want you to suffer..."

Lin Xiao was deeply moved.

Why is this kid so honest?!
