Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 119 My Immortal Brother, Do You Resent Me for Abandoning You? The Royal Fighting Team's Upheaval
The moonlight is getting darker.

Four people went for a nighttime stroll together.

Ning Rongrong remained silent the whole way, while Li Zhexian and the other two strolled along the long street, their laughter never ceasing.

When it was time to part ways.

It was already past midnight.

Li Zhexian returned to his courtyard.

After a quick wash, I fell into a deep sleep without any worries.

Today, apart from Zhu Zhuqing's stunning beauty in her light purple dress, there was nothing else on his mind.

Ok.

There is one more thing.

The sugar figurines sold at Jinxi Bridge are delicious.

Next time he'll buy a bigger one.

The hotel where Shrek Academy is located.

Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu said goodnight to each other and returned to their respective rooms.

Xiao Wu hasn't entered the room yet.

Tang San then called her over.

"Xiao Wu, did you go see that Sword Wine?"

Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue.

He nodded in agreement.

Tang San frowned and sighed:

"Xiao Wu, I've told you this many times."

"Jianjiu crippled Ma Hongjun and expelled the Dean and Master."

"We can't be friends with him."

Xiao Wu pursed her lips.

"Third brother..."

"I think Ma Hongjun has only himself to blame."

"Don't mention this again."

Tang San's eyes turned serious, and he said earnestly:
"Although Ma Hongjun used common women to relieve his lust."

"But as the dean and the master said, those commoner women did it voluntarily."

"Moreover, Ma Hongjun was our former teammate after all. For both moral and legal reasons, we should seek justice for him."

Xiao Wu lowered her head and replied sullenly.

"I see."

Tang San smiled slightly.

"Xiao Wu, you should rest early."

"Mark my words."

the other side.

Ning Rongrong's room.

She tossed and turned, unable to sleep, staring blankly at the moon hanging in the dark blue sky through the cracks in the window.

“Brother Immortal…”

"How could it be the renowned Sword Wine of Tiandou..."

During his time at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Li Zhexian's soul power has not improved at all in six years.

Despite having innate full soul power, he couldn't even absorb his first soul ring.

This is also the reason why she cruelly broke up with Li Zhexian.

A slightly cool touch came from my chest.

This pulled Ning Rongrong's wandering thoughts back.

Through her clothes, she subconsciously clenched the item she wore close to her body.

I recalled my nighttime stroll through the Heavenly Dipper.

While her own emotions were churning, the boy remained calm and composed, as if the two were complete strangers.

A hint of sadness crept into Ning Rongrong's eyes.

"Why pretend to be a stranger..."

“My immortal brother… are you blaming me… for abandoning you back then…”

If it weren't for Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing...

She almost blurted out the question to Li Zhexian.

A myriad of thoughts swirled in Ning Rongrong's mind, more chaotic than the stars in the night sky.

Her gaze was fixed blankly.

Suddenly.

A figure appeared silently outside the window.

Ning Rongrong trembled in shock.

"Zhuqing?"

"you……"

The person outside the window was Zhu Zhuqing.

She lightly tapped the wooden window frame with her right hand, reached out to Ning Rongrong, and smiled faintly on her pretty face.

"Rongrong, I can't sleep, chat with me."

A complex emotion flashed in Ning Rongrong's eyes.

It was immediately concealed.

He forced a smile and reached out his hand.

Zhu Zhuqing took Ning Rongrong's hand.

Under the bright moonlight, the two girls nimbly climbed onto the sloping roof of the inn.

Ning Rongrong had just sat down.

"Ouch!"

Her body swayed slightly, and she was about to slip and fall.

Zhu Zhuqing reacted quickly and steadied her.

The two of them stood side by side, hugging each other's knees.

He sat in a high place.

The night breeze ruffled their hair.

"Rongrong, here you are~~"

Zhu Zhuqing handed over a fruit with a seven-colored skin. Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes widened slightly.

"Seven-Treasure Honey Pear?!"

"Where...where did you get this?"

Zhu Zhuqing smiled and said:
"I knew you'd been craving this for a long time, so I secretly bought it on the street during the day."

"Don't tell Xiaowu."

"Uh-huh!"

Ning Rongrong nodded repeatedly and took a bite without waiting.

The crisp, sweet taste melted in her mouth, making her squint her eyes in satisfaction.

These Seven Treasures Honey Pears are fruits cultivated by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School.

It is quite valuable.

Shrek Academy was in dire straits and naturally had no money to enjoy its resources.

The master further explained that it was to "remember the bitterness of the past and appreciate the sweetness of the present, so as to temper one's will."

She is strictly forbidden from purchasing these items privately or having them brought back by family members.

Ning Rongrong had been craving it for a long time.

"Zhuqing, you should try some too."

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head.

"You can eat it."

Ning Rongrong chewed the pear in small bites and said softly:
"Among the Shrek Seven Devils, you are the one who disobeys Master's discipline the most."

"The dean and the others all say that you've been led astray, but your soul power is progressing so rapidly that they've just let you be."

She paused, a warmth welling up in her eyes.

"Zhuqing, do you still remember?"

"You, me, and Xiaowu, have also sneaked out like this before, just to wait for a rain."

Zhu Zhuqing's lips curved slightly.

"Yes, Xiaowu said that mushrooms are easiest to find in the forest after the rain."

"That pot of mushroom soup hadn't even been washed clean of mud."

Ning Rongrong's smile deepened.

"But it's the most delicious soup I've ever had."

"And that time, we set off in the middle of the night just to catch the morning market in Nottingham..."

Accompanied by the night breeze.

The two girls chatted back and forth.

Recalling the joyful times they had spent together, both of their beautiful faces were radiant with warm smiles.

"Yes, I'll go back and visit again when I have time!"

Zhu Zhuqing responded.

He paused abruptly, turned his head, and asked softly:
"Rongrong, during our night stroll just now..."

"You seem preoccupied. What's wrong?"

Ning Rongrong's smile froze instantly.

She raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair that had been ruffled by the wind behind her ear.

"It's nothing."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at her without saying a word.

Ning Rongrong turned her face away awkwardly.

"I'm really... really okay."

"Perhaps... I'm feeling a little unwell."

"I'm sorry, Zhuqing, I made you worry."

A hint of sadness flashed across Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face as she whispered:
"As long as you're okay."

Ning Rongrong finished eating the pear, clapped her hands, and got up.

"Zhuqing, let's go back, it's almost dawn."

"I'd like to sit a little longer."

"Then I'll head back now."

Although Ning Rongrong was not as quick-witted as Zhu Zhuqing.

But as a Soul Master.

Going down alone is not difficult.

Watching her tiptoeing figure disappear, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly said:
"Rongrong, you met Li Zhexian today. What did you think of him?"

Ning Rongrong didn't stop, and without turning her head, she said:

"pretty good."

Ning Rongrong disappeared from the rooftop.

Zhu Zhuqing remained alone on the rooftop, gazing blankly at the gradually emerging orange morning light on the horizon.

Once upon a time...

Ning Rongrong and she often sat side by side until dawn, just to enjoy the sunrise together.

It was not clear.

Li Zhexian was then abruptly awakened by Xue Qinghe.

"Li Zhexian! Something's happened to the Royal Fighting Team!"

My sleepiness vanished instantly.

Li Zhexian suddenly stood up, grabbed his clothes, and rushed out the door.

On a fast-paced journey.

Li Zhexian asked in a deep voice:
"What on earth happened?!"

"How are they doing now?!"

"Within the Blue Lightning Clan, which member of the Royal Fighting Team dares to challenge the three upper sects?!"

As soon as these words came out.

Li Zhexian was immediately startled.

Really!
But the timing... is wrong!
Xue Qinghe, whose wrist was being held by him, had a fierce glint in his lowered eyes.

"The Royal Fighting Team has gone to the Star Dou Forest for training."

"They encountered the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall."

"They're at the Ye family's place now..."
