Douluo Continent: So What If I Reincarnate as Ning Rongrong?

Chapter 66 Dugu Yan's Vigilance

"This... pill?"

Purple Pearl looked quite surprised. She subconsciously took out the pills she bought at the auction house to compare them, then looked up at Ning Rongrong and the other two.

"Are the elixirs sold at the auction house also from you?"

"That's right," Ning Rongrong said, then left with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan. Her soft words drifted back.

"I really hope that Miss Purple Pearl can join my sect."

"The pay and benefits are definitely better than being a pirate. If you're interested, we can discuss it next time we meet."

When Zi Zhenzhu came to her senses, Ning Rongrong and the other two had already walked far away.

Purple Pearl sighed.

I thought things would never end well today, but unexpectedly, the situation took an unexpected turn.

Seeing the members foaming at the mouth, Purple Pearl fed them antidote pills, not afraid of anything going wrong.

There's no need for a sect with a Title Douluo to go to such lengths to kill them.

"I wonder which sect they come from."

I've heard of the elixir of immortality, the purple pearl.

It is said to have originated from Tiandou City, the capital of the Tiandou Empire, but no further details are known.

During this trip to Hanhai City to replenish resources, the three bottles of pills I unexpectedly photographed turned out to be related to the person I was planning to rob.

"What's meant to be will be, let's wait and see!"

"Joining a sect or something..."

If you could get a girl with the same hair color as you, it wouldn't be so bad.

Both possessing the martial soul of a snake, one can vaguely sense that the purple-haired girl might be connected to the titled Douluo elder.

"Sigh, let's put that idea aside for now!"

As for the little bean sprout with brown hair, she seems to be the girl in charge.

She's too young; she's not Purple Pearl's type. Maybe she'll see in a few years.

……

Back in Hanhai City, I found a hotel to stay in.

Dugu Yan looked at Ning Rongrong with a puzzled expression.

"Rongrong, are you going to recruit that female pirate named Purple Pearl?"

"I have that idea," Ning Rongrong said. "I'll investigate Zi Zhenzhu's character over the next few days and then make a decision."

"Your talent is undeniable." Dugu Yan tapped her fingers on the table, listening to the rhythmic thumping, and said somewhat reluctantly.

"I felt very uncomfortable with the way she looked at her prey."

"Sister Yan Yan, what are you afraid of?" Ning Rongrong chuckled.

Dugu Yan sighed and said to Dugu Bo, who was drinking tea beside her, "Grandpa, can you go back to your room first? Rongrong and I have some private things to talk about."

Dugu Bo slowly typed a "?".

He looked at his granddaughter, then at Ning Rongrong.

"All right."

Dugu Bo opened the door and left, returning to his other lodging next door.

Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan can stay in one room, but he's a grown man, he can't possibly stay together, so of course there should be two rooms.

After Dugu Bo left, Dugu Yan took a deep breath, looked Ning Rongrong over, and said:

"Don't tell me you don't know anything!"

"What do you know? I don't understand!" Ning Rongrong shrugged.

"Yes, yes, yes." Dugu Yan rolled her eyes at Ning Rongrong. "If I hadn't known you for a few years, I wouldn't have believed your act of pretending to be stupid."

"That girl named Purple Pearl may have a problem with her orientation."

"So what? What does this have to do with us?" Ning Rongrong poured herself a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.

"She wants to capture me and make me her bandit queen." Dugu Yan's eyes twitched. After all, she had studied at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy for a few years, and she knew a thing or two about the tricks of those nobles.

Dugu Yan couldn't believe that Ning Rongrong was completely unaware of this, especially someone who knew the effects of whale glue.

Dugu Yan now also has some doubts about Ning Rongrong's sexual orientation.

Of course, this was just suspicion. After all, apart from cultivation, Ning Rongrong was mostly indifferent to other matters unless they were beneficial to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Hey, Sister Yan Yan, why are you so concerned about her affairs?" Ning Rongrong put down her teacup, her fingers interlaced on the table. "As long as she doesn't succeed, isn't that enough?"

"The day you reach level 99, the Title Douluo, who would dare force you?"

Dugu Yan: "..."

Ning Rongrong was completely pretending to be ignorant.

Dugu Yan scratched his head and said helplessly, "I mean, can't you just not try to win over this female pirate? If we both get dragged into this mess, it'll be a huge loss!"

"I'll just tell you the truth!" Seeing that Dugu Yan had gone this far, Ning Rongrong stopped pretending to be ignorant.

"The Soul Guidance Pavilion's current Soul Guidance Devices originate from another continent outside of Douluo Continent."

"What!" Dugu Yan suddenly stood up.

After a long while, Dugu Yan came to her senses.

"This...is this real?" Dugu Yan wondered if she had misheard.

"That's most likely the case. Haven't we been collecting broken soul tool arrays all these years? Most of them are things that floated over from the ocean."

"Therefore, I want to build a soul tool fleet capable of exploring overseas."

"For example, modifying the Longyuan boat."

"Besides, the resources in the sea might make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School even stronger."

"A 27-year-old level 59 Soul King, and also a Sea Soul Master. He seems to have a carefree personality, but we'll have to get to know him better."

"So that's what you were thinking..." Dugu Yan sighed. "Does Uncle Ning know about this?"

"Even if she knew, she would still support me! In fact, even without forming a fleet, a Soul Master with talent like Purple Pearl is very worth recruiting, not to mention that she harbors resentment towards Seagod Island."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan fell silent.

"I'm still worried..."

"We can take our time to see about their personalities. It's all part of the plan. If it works out, great. If it doesn't, it's fine. Even if Purple Pearl betrays us, it won't matter."

"If, I mean if..." Dugu Yan raised her head, sitting upright and staring at Ning Rongrong, "What if her orientation really is problematic?"

"So what?" Ning Rongrong retorted. "It's their business who they like, it doesn't mean that the person being liked has to like them back."

"Sister Yan Yan, you don't lack confidence in surpassing Purple Pearl's strength, do you?" Ning Rongrong asked casually.

"I, I wasn't talking about myself, I was talking about you!" Dugu Yan was exasperated. Talking to Ning Rongrong was sometimes really tiring. She didn't know if Ning Rongrong was naive or just pretending to be confused.

"I have a level 97 Sword Douluo in my left hand, a level 96 Bone Douluo in my right, and Ning Fengzhi, a level 85, standing beside me. Do you think I'm afraid of a mere Purple Pearl who isn't even a Soul Emperor?"

Dugu Yan: "..."

Everyone's starting to compare who has the most powerful connections. You think you're so great? I can't argue with you.

Three days were spent to learn more about the purple pearl.

Dugu Yan dragged Ning Rongrong around asking around.

Clearly, Dugu Yan obtained a lot of useful information.

Although Purple Pearl was a relatively powerful pirate in this sea area, he still had his code of honor among thieves.

They usually only seek wealth and do not harm people; one could say they rob the rich to help the poor.

His behavior is within Dugu Yan's acceptable range; he's not an utterly wicked person and could be recruited. It's just that his fiery temper is a bit frustrating.

Also, this guy's sexual orientation seems to be a bit problematic.

Time flies.

Purple Pearl arrived as promised and led the three of them onto her prized Purple Pearl pirate ship.
