Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

"So I'm just going to beat you up!"

……

The next day, around noon, the group arrived outside Tiandou City.

Originally, it would have been difficult for the Second Prince and the Crown Princess to have a grand wedding together, but since it was not a glorious thing for the royal family for the Crown Princess to sneak out during the wedding, Xue Luochuan entered the city on his own.

Ning Fengzhi, on the other hand, seemed to have personally come to the scene to take Ning Rongrong home.

"Minister Yin, Teacher Qin, Dean Flander, and all the teachers and students of the Royal Fighting Team and Shrek Academy, hello!"

"Greetings, Sect Leader Ning!" "Greetings, Sect Leader Ning!"

While the adults were exchanging pleasantries, Ning Rongrong did something different: "Zhuqing, shield me!"

Even the aloof Zhu Zhuqing was speechless at Ning Rongrong's antics, but she didn't refuse to help her.

"Wow, this is Crown Prince Xue Qinghe?"

Hey! Fatty, watch your mouth! You'll regret it if you don't watch what you say!

Dai Mubai, being the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, understood the intricacies of the situation and quickly reminded Ma Hongjun.

And just that one sentence was enough to attract the attention of the guards, who seemed to be high-level soul masters.

"Oh, yes, yes!"

On the other side, Ning Huahua, transformed into an elegant fairy, was personally led off the carriage by the noble and graceful Xue Qinghe, making Ning Rongrong, who was hiding behind Zhu Zhuqing, grit her teeth in anger.

"Damn it! That should be my carriage! I should be the one getting off! Brother Xue should be holding my hand!"

Clenching her fists and shrugging her feet, Ning Rongrong was furious, but she dared not lash out in this situation. Given Ning Huahua's status, even the Sword Douluo standing with her father wouldn't side with her and let her cause trouble.

Some important figures were even more nervous. He was the only one who knew who those two were, and he kept glancing at Xue Qinghe.

However, His Highness the Crown Prince seemed not to notice this at all, completely ignoring the silver and gold, which left him feeling like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat and at a loss.

"Rongrong!"

When Ning Fengzhi's voice rang out, Ning Rongrong was startled as if a mouse had its tail stepped on. Unlike usual, she did not rush up to Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo to act coquettishly. Instead, she seemed as scared as a child who had run away from home and been caught red-handed.

This completely contradicted her "little witch" persona, and it actually happened. Normally, even if Ning Rongrong caused trouble, it would be Ning Fengzhi who would have a headache but be somewhat afraid of her. But now, the roles were reversed.

He Chenxin and Chen Xin exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes, wondering if this little witch had changed her ways.

As for Ning Rongrong? She looked like a defeated attacker, dejected, and had no choice but to slowly walk towards Ning Fengzhi.

"dad…"

Ning Fengzhi's understanding of Ning Rongrong was definitely not like this, while Chen Xin was already looking at Shrek Academy with unfriendly eyes.

While Flanders and his group weren't exactly terrified, they weren't much better off and could only point at Ning Huahua.

Ning Fengzhi was completely unprepared for this. His impression of Ning Huahua was still based on their first meeting, where she was perceived as a complete simpleton.

However, some things cannot be mentioned in front of outsiders. Suppressing his suspicions, Ning Fengzhi maintained his calm and composed demeanor as the leader of the second-largest sect in the world.

"Dean Flander and Minister Yin, please go ahead with your business. I need to take this child home first; there are some things I need to explain."

Pointing at Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi intended to end the current situation.

"Then we'll take our leave, Sect Leader Ning!"

...

Yin Jin led the Royal Fighting Team and Shrek Academy to enroll in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and those present were the parties involved.

"Qinghe, how about going to Qibao City? It's not really suitable for Huahua to stay at the Crown Prince's Mansion anymore."

Both Qian Shui and Qian Renxue understood Ning Fengzhi's meaning, but let's not even talk about Ning Huahua running away, which is simply absurd for a noble family.

It was already against the rules of marriage for unmarried men and women to live together, and once this incident happened, it became common knowledge, so it was no longer appropriate to turn a blind eye.

"I will do as you instruct, teacher."

“Hmm.” Turning to Ning Huahua, he said, “Huahua, although I can’t be sure if you are my daughter, whether you are or not, you are a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. We are family now, so there’s no need to be reserved.”

Knowing that Ning Fengzhi was just being polite, she didn't pretend to be anything more and simply nodded slightly.

“Rongrong has been spoiled by me since she was little. Now that she’s come back from her trip, she’s become much more restrained. Huahua, you’ve done a good job teaching her.”

"father!"

The little witch was definitely unhappy to hear this, but such words shouldn't be taken seriously; Ning Fengzhi was clearly testing her.

“She is very smart. I told her some facts, and she understood. She didn’t need to be taught anything.”

"I see."

Chapter 197 Necessary Preparations

Inside the Crown Prince's study in Tiandou City, it was eerily quiet. Yin Jin, the Minister of Education and a high-ranking official of the Empire, was sitting to one side, sweating profusely, waiting for his Crown Prince.

Some people had not yet revealed their identities, and Yin Jin did not know who was who. He dared not call the wrong person and could only wait anxiously.

The rustling sound of documents being reviewed never stopped, yet it was surprisingly stable, as if it were completely fixed.

"what do you want to say?"

"Hehehe, you are...?"

"it's me!"

Suddenly, Xue Qinghe's voice rang out, startling Yin Jin. He didn't know whether he was facing Qian Renxue or Qian Shui.

Annoyed, Qian Shui released 'Thousand Illusions'.

"Brother Shui Shui, it really is you!"

"That's why I did it—because of my teachings! Minister Yin, when did I teach you to be so brainless?!"

"Brother Shui! Let me explain!"

"An explanation? A fit of rage for a woman? I didn't realize Young Master Yin was such a romantic?"

"me……"

"Stop talking about me! You did it, so be it! Couldn't you have thought it through before you did it? Do you know how much Sasha has suffered for you and your family?!"

When this matter was brought up, Yin Jin fell silent.

"Sigh... everything comes at a price. Let's not talk about that. How are the Shrek students doing? Have their files been archived?"

Skipping over the topic of youthful naiveté, Yin Jin didn't hesitate and handed a stack of documents to Qian Shui.

"The quality of this group of students is indeed very high. Ning Rongrong goes without saying; her file was submitted to the academy by Ning Fengzhi long ago, and she only needs to go to register to enroll."

Nodding, Qian Shui also began to peruse the book.

"Apart from that guy from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, he's too ridiculous. He actually wants to pass the teacher qualification exam? If Flander hadn't smoothed things over, he would have been asked to leave. How dare someone like that?"

Mentioning Yu Xiaogang also gave Yin Jin a headache, so he skipped over him and continued explaining.

"The third prince of the Star Luo Empire and his fiancée are really bold. They actually dared to come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. It's a miracle they survived even a year or two back then! Although one has an innate soul power of level 8 and the other level 7, which isn't the most outstanding, it's still quite good."

Yin Jin's judgment wasn't wrong. Originally, they had left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and were protected by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School; otherwise, they really wouldn't have been so lucky.

"There's also a food-type Soul Master with innate full Soul Power. Sister Sasha would probably take him as a disciple if she saw him, and there's more than one with innate full Soul Power. I wonder about Qian Shuishui..."

"I know what you mean, it's not my daughter, it's my disciple. Don't you think about it, if it were really my daughter, who would I have her with? Would I still be sitting here peacefully?"

Qian Shui's annoyed expression made Yin Jin chuckle. "Indeed, how could Miss Qian possibly let you off the hook?"

"Turtle! Go back and rest!"

"Yes!"

"What do you mean, 'I'?! Am I still your superior?!"

"Brother Shui, no matter what you think, I'll always consider you the team leader!"

"turtle!"

...

After Yin Jin left, Qian Shui also stood up. "Then next up is Tang Hao!"

A gust of wind blew by, and Qian Shui disappeared from the spot. The top page of the document on the table was Tang San's.

……

Sunset Forest, the eye of ice and fire, this once precious land has changed hands. Qian Shui's arrival has brought an extra house and vegetables all over the ground.

The bubbling hot pot seems to never stop; though it lacks a variety of herbal remedies, it offers a unique and delightful experience.

As the saying goes, those who grow flowers are naturally gifted at farming. With this paradise of plants, the vegetables planted by Qianshui, whether vines or leafy greens, grow extremely well and are of very high quality.

Even though he's not here, someone takes care of it all year round.

Although Qian Renxue didn't understand why Qian Shui was so obsessed with growing vegetables, she knew that as long as Qian Shui liked it, that was enough.

"Haotian Douluo, may I call you that?"

Since Qian Shui crippled his arms, causing his cultivation level to plummet and his soul power to be sealed, Tang Hao was taken to the woodshed in the backyard of Qian Shui's family, a place that is considered excellent in all the heavens and myriad worlds.

At this moment, Tang Hao had completely lost the demeanor of his Haotian Douluo. Perhaps it was because his cultivation level had dropped, making him look much older.

Tang Hao merely opened his eyes, ignoring Qian Shui. However, he didn't care about Tang Hao's attitude: "I've investigated your matter, and how should I put it, it's extremely outrageous!"

"People are all sharp-tongued and stubborn, like rocks in a latrine. So, to judge a person, you usually look at what they do, not what they say."

Tsk tsk tsk, so I really don't understand your behavior. A 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast, the Blue Silver Emperor! That's impressive!

Especially after meeting your son, I had more guesses about the Blue Silver Emperor's abilities. Guess what?

I suddenly realized that Chihiro could never have caught you guys back then!

But the problem is, this is exactly what happened!

Upon hearing Tang San's name, Tang Hao finally opened his eyes wide and stared intently at Qian Shui.

"Don't look at me like that." Summoning his fifth spirit ring, Qian Shui said slowly, "My fifth spirit ring comes from the 80,000-year-old Blue Silver King. To be honest, this old grass is really good at hiding. If I hadn't set it on fire to force it out, I might not have been able to handle it!"

Qian Shui bent down and said to Tang Hao, "So, if I'm not mistaken, the Blue Silver Emperor has a talent domain, right?"

"what do you want to say in the end?!"
