Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 11 Put it on!

"Boom!—"

The sky was dark, the wind howled, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Deep in the forest, there is almost no light.

Ning Rongrong hugged her shoulders and carefully followed Qin Jian through the woods.

"How could this place be so terrifying?"

She couldn't help but say, "Qin Jian, I don't want to leave. I want to go out."

"We can't get out..."

Qin Jian casually broke off a small branch in front of him and said casually, "From the moment we came in, we couldn't get out unless we encountered mortal danger."

"ah?!"

Ning Rongrong gasped in surprise and stopped in her tracks.

"That's not what Dad told me before!"

Her eyes widened as she said, "He clearly said it would be as fun as a spring outing..."

Qin Jian stopped with her, then turned around and feigned surprise, saying, "Rongrong, didn't the sect leader explain the situation and rules here to you?"

"No...no..."

Seeing his expression, Ning Rongrong began to feel frightened: "What's going on? Qin Jian, tell me quickly!"

"This is a secluded, simulated training ground; there are only the two of us in this entire world..."

Qin Jian sat on a tree root, then pulled Ning Rongrong down to sit as well, and said, "The landscape here changes every month. This time it's a forest, next time it might be a desert, a snow-capped mountain, or even the sea."

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened gradually.

"Not only that, the weather here is also very changeable. Right now it's thunder and lightning, but in a while it could be torrential rain and strong winds, or even extreme scorching sun..."

Ignoring Ning Rongrong's increasingly horrified gaze, Qin Jian continued, "Also, after we get used to all this, there will be natural disasters, like volcanic eruptions and avalanches..."

"Then...then can we hide away every day and not leave? I have a tent in my soul tool," Ning Rongrong said, her teeth chattering.

Qin Jian sighed helplessly and asked, "Then what will we eat every day?"

"Yes, what do we eat every day?" Ning Rongrong asked nervously.

Qin Jian pointed ahead and replied, "We will appear at the edge of this space every day, and a tent will appear on the opposite edge, about a hundred miles away, where we will have our food and water for the day."

"So every day we have to traverse the entire space to get food and water, no matter the environment," he explained.

But after a while, he still didn't hear Ning Rongrong's voice.

"Rongrong?"

Qin Jian turned his head and saw Ning Rongrong with her head down, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her skirt.

"Rongrong, what's wrong?" Qin Jian asked.

But Ning Rongrong just kept her head down and didn't move.

Qin Jian couldn't help but wave his hand in front of her eyes: "Rongrong, say something..."

"dad!--"

The next moment, Ning Rongrong suddenly jumped up, leaping onto the tree trunk and shouting at the sky, "I! Don't! Want! To! Be! Here! I! Want! To! Go! Back! —"

Qin Jian: "..."

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, who were observing this scene from the outside, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Dad! I want to go back! I don't want to stay here!"

"Don't you love Rongrong anymore? How could you bear to leave her in such a terrible place?"

"Dad! Rongrong begs you! Rongrong wants to go back!"

"..."

Ning Rongrong vented her grievances to the sky.

But she shouted for a long time without receiving any response.

This infuriated her.

"You stinky dad! You bad dad! Rongrong hates you!"

"If you don't let Rongrong out, she'll stay here and curse you for a year!"

"You're a stinky dad! A bad dad!"

"..."

Ning Fengzhi, an outsider, was both amused and exasperated.

Sword Douluo, watching from the side, felt a pang of pity: "Sect Master, should we release her?"

Ning Fengzhi hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head and said, "No, it was so hard to harden my heart and coax her in. If I let her out again, all my efforts will be wasted."

"I originally thought that Qin Jian would bear some of Rongrong's anger, after all, he was partly responsible for tricking Rongrong into going there..."

Ning Fengzhi was speechless: "But this guy, looking completely innocent, washed his own name and made me bear all of Rongrong's anger."

"Cough...that little guy isn't stupid to begin with..."

Looking at the image before him, especially Ning Rongrong's exaggerated expressions, Sword Douluo said, "Now we can only see what Sword can do to calm Rongrong down."

"Hopefully he can find a way..."

Ning Fengzhi sighed, his gaze sweeping over the control panel beside him. Suddenly, his expression changed: "I'm afraid he doesn't have much time left. The weather is about to change..."

"Boom!"

Qin Jian, who was in the cultivation ground, also keenly noticed this change, because the dark clouds in the sky were pressing down lower and lower, and the frequency of lightning and thunder was increasing rapidly.

His expression changed, and he quickly jumped onto the tree trunk, grabbed Ning Rongrong's arm, and said, "Rongrong, stop fooling around, the sect leader won't let you out."

But Ning Rongrong wouldn't listen at all and kept shouting.

"Rongrong! It's going to pour! If you don't want to get soaked, we have to hurry and get to the supply tent on the other side as quickly as possible!" Qin Jian shouted.

Unfortunately, Ning Rongrong only calmed down slightly before saying to Qin Jian, "Then I'm definitely not leaving! I don't believe Dad would bear to see me get soaked in the rain!"

Qin Jian: "..."

"Boom!—"

The sky grew increasingly dark.

"Rongrong, if it's really too much, can you put on a raincoat first? It's a storm, and there won't be time to cover yourself from the rain."

Qin Jian sat on the tree trunk with a headache, while Ning Rongrong sat beside him, puffing up her cheeks and refusing to listen to anything he said.

"This little girl is spoiled rotten. She's too willful and won't listen to Qin Jian no matter what he says, right or wrong!"

Ning Fengzhi slammed his hand on the table in annoyance.

Sword Douluo kept his eyes fixed on the two of them: "The storm is coming..."

"Splash..."

The storm came suddenly, without giving any time to prepare.

In an instant, Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong were soaked through.

Ning Rongrong continued to stare blankly at the sky, as if she were sulking with Ning Fengzhi.

But Qin Jian couldn't bear to see her ruin herself like this, so he quickly took out two raincoats from his soul tool.

"I don't want to wear it—"

But before the raincoat could even reach Ning Rongrong, she flung it away.

Qin Jian frowned, and had no choice but to put the cloak on himself first, then used it to cover Ning Rongrong's head.

His expression was somewhat serious: "Rongrong, this is the sect leader's test for you. If you continue to be willful like this, you will only disappoint him."

But Ning Rongrong, in her stubborn and willful state, was completely unwilling to listen: "I won't listen! I won't listen! I won't listen!"

She stretched out her hands and covered her ears tightly...

Qin Jian took a deep breath and suddenly, without a second thought, draped the raincoat over her body, causing Ning Rongrong to struggle incessantly.

But she was terrified the next moment because Qin Jian's face was extremely cold and hard.

He roared through the wind and rain, "Put them on!"
