Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 243 Reunion

The gate of Barak Royal City.

Following the crowd, Ning Feiliu easily passed through the guards and entered the Barak Royal City.

As the capital of the kingdom, Barak Royal City was quite prosperous.

Although it cannot compare to the imperial capital of Tiandou City, it is still much grander and more prosperous than most towns in the northern part of the Tiandou Empire.

Even Tianshui City is smaller than this royal city.

Ning Feiliu was only slightly curious, then quietly summoned Xue Di and went to find a hotel to stay in.

The hotel he chose was naturally a top-tier luxury hotel, since he wasn't short of money and didn't need to deliberately keep a low profile.

Of course, he didn't think he was deliberately being high-profile.

He's been like this ever since he started his travel mission.

When you arrive in a new town, you must make sure that the place you stay or temporarily reside in is the most comfortable.

Of course, if not, he can allow living in a slightly less desirable place.

It's not that this is the behavior of a spoiled brat; it's just that if you have something to enjoy, why not enjoy it?

Why force yourself to endure hardship when there's no suffering to be had?

Especially since I had just left the Killing City, which was definitely not a place for humans to stay.

The main concern is the toxins in the food and water there; no matter how delicious the food is, they dare not try it, nor do they dare to live too comfortably.

So he's been on edge for over eight months in the Killing City, can't he come out and enjoy himself?

Ning Feiliu and Xue Di walked through the city of Barak, looking for a grand hotel to stay in.

only……

Ning Feiliu felt something was strange. Why did it feel like... the people around them were paying attention to them, intentionally or unintentionally?

Besides the admiring glances, there were also rather strange looks...

It's not as simple as just finding their handsome man and beautiful woman a pleasing sight to behold.

It was as if there was something strange about them.

Ning Feiliu thought that she had just come from the City of Slaughter and that her killing intent was too obvious.

However, he deliberately used his ability to communicate with all kinds of flowers to conceal his aura, but the people next to him would still secretly glance at them.

And the direction they were looking was... Xue Di's long white hair, and Ning Fei Liu's...

It's also hair.

Ning Feiliu found it strange, and then as he passed a grocery stall, there happened to be a mirror on it.

He saw what he looked like in the mirror.

Her oval face remained unchanged, and her willow-leaf eyes, which were originally gentle and refined, now had a hint of coldness, although she still retained that gentle temperament.

His appearance remained as gentle and handsome as ever, like a god descended from heaven.

However... his short hair, which was originally as dark as the night, has now turned into a pale, slightly longer short hair.

This is……

Ning Feiliu touched her hair in surprise.

"Sir... are you looking to buy this mirror?" the stall owner asked immediately with a smile.

Ning Feiliu and Xue Di's aloof and gentle demeanor clearly indicated they were not ordinary commoners, so he naturally had the foresight to greet them with a friendly expression from the start.

"Hmm, I'll take this mirror. How much?" Ning Feiliu then casually took out a silver soul coin to pay the bill.

He held a mirror and stared at his white hair... lost in thought.

"When you woke up again, your hair had turned completely white," Xue Di said at this moment.

When he woke up again... that is, after he was resurrected using the forbidden resurrection spell, his hair color turned pale white.

So is this the price of resurrection?

Ning Feiliu sighed. Although it looked quite nice, it was indeed a bit too eye-catching.

Although the Soul Masters in Douluo Continent all have multicolored hair, just like the colors of a rainbow.

However, white hair color is indeed relatively rare.

Soul Masters with ice-attribute martial souls are rarely seen in white.

At least as far as Ning Feiliu knows, the only person with white hair is Xue Di, who is standing next to him.

"Forget it, never mind." Ning Feiliu was too lazy to dwell on it and continued searching for a luxury hotel to stay in.

Finally, he and Xue Di arrived at a luxury hotel in the city center, with a sign that read "Barak Royal Hotel".

It is obvious that this hotel is the largest and most luxurious hotel in Barak Royal City.

At this moment, a large convoy of carriages was parked outside the gate, indicating that some important person was about to travel or had just arrived.

Ning Feiliu didn't see the pagoda emblem at the front of the carriage convoy and led Xue Di inside, intending to book rooms.

But just then...

"Pat-pat-pat—"

The sound of footsteps came from the stairs next to it.

A large group of people walked down around the two people in the middle, one big and one small, a man and a woman, who seemed to be of very high status.

The group surrounding the two in the middle were almost all incredibly powerful, with the weakest possessing the cultivation of a Soul King and the strongest approaching the level of a Soul Saint.

"Young Master, Miss, the carriage is ready." A servant walked in from outside and said respectfully.

Ning Feiliu didn't think too much about it, nor did he intend to pay attention to things that were none of his business.

He took out a Gold Soul Card, handed it to the hotel lobby receptionist, and said, "I'd like to book your best and most expensive room."

"Okay..." The receptionist immediately took the Gold Soul Card with a smile, deducted the balance directly, and prepared to book a room for Ning Feiliu.

However, at that moment...

"Philip?"

A somewhat familiar voice came from the side.

Ning Feiliu was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and saw... In the crowd that he had just dismissed with disdain, a familiar figure was standing there, looking at him with some surprise and excitement.

"Big brother?!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with suppressed emotion and shock.

However, he then noticed Ning Rongrong on the side and frowned slightly.

When Ning Rongrong saw him, she took a small step back and subconsciously shrank her body.

At this moment, Ning Mingrui had already walked towards Ning Feiliu, and the others, including Ning Rongrong, had no choice but to follow him.

Ning Mingrui glanced at Ning Feiliu's striking white hair first, and said with a slight frown, "Feiliu, how come your hair has turned completely white? If I hadn't heard your voice just now, I almost wouldn't have recognized you."

"Something happened," Ning Feiliu said casually.

He can't exactly say... that he died once and was resurrected.

Isn't this just making Ning Mingrui worry for nothing?

So he chose to keep this a secret from his family and friends from now on. Anyway, it didn't matter that no one knew about it, it was all in the past.

"It's been almost a year since we last heard from you, and Yan Yan and I were so worried about you," Ning Mingrui said immediately. "Where have you been? How could you not contact us for almost a year?"

"Let's go to a very secluded place to train. This is where this happened," Ning Feiliu said with a smile.

"Who is this...?" Ning Mingrui looked at Xue Di next to Ning Feiliu, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Wasn't her younger brother already engaged to Dugu Yan? How come there's another adult woman with a cool and aloof demeanor and stunning beauty by Ning Feiliu's side?

"This is Xue Di, a partner I've known and traveled with since I started this business," Ning Feiliu said with a smile.

"Snow Emperor?" Ning Mingrui really felt that this name was a bit...too domineering.

However, he still smiled and nodded politely to Xue Di, "Hello, I am Ning Mingrui, Fei Liu's older brother."

"Hello." Xue Di simply nodded to Ning Mingrui and then said nothing more.

She's not being aloof; she's just not good with words and doesn't know how to communicate with humans.

Ning Mingrui was at a loss for words.

Ning Feiliu stood up and explained, "That's just how Xue Di is; she doesn't really like communicating with others."

Ning Mingrui had no choice but to stop talking.

"Speaking of which...didn't you say you were traveling along the northern border? How did you end up here in Barak Royal City..." Ning Mingrui asked curiously.

"Well... something unexpected happened, and after entering the Star Dou Great Forest, we could only head west. Then we heard there was a town here, so we came here to rest for a bit," Ning Feiliu said helplessly.

The exit of the Killing City happens to be closer to the southern border of the continent, which is the exact opposite of the northern exit.

The Killing Capital is located on the northwest side of the continent.

He had just emerged from the Star Dou Great Forest and didn't know where he was. He continued walking in the westward direction as the sun set, and thus arrived at the Barak Royal City in the southwestern part of the Heaven Dou Empire.

"And what about you, brother?" he asked curiously.

"Rongrong plans to study at a Soul Master Academy called Shrek Academy in Soto City, the second largest city in the Barak Kingdom, so Dad specifically asked me to bring people to escort her," Ning Mingrui said after hesitating for a moment.

"Oh." However, Ning Feiliu's expression turned cold in an instant.

Seeing Ning Feiliu's expression and cold words, Ning Rongrong's face turned even paler.

However, she did not clash with Ning Feiliu as before, but simply lowered her head silently.

Because she already knew she was wrong, and Ning Feiliu wouldn't give in to her anymore.

So, she won't do anything like that again after having a conflict with Ning Feiliu.

Seeing this, Ning Mingrui sighed inwardly.

Fei Liu, Fei Liu, Rong Rong has become like this, and you still won't forgive her?

But as I said before, Ning Mingrui will not force Ning Feiliu to forgive Ning Rongrong.

Even as the eldest brother, he has no right to do such a thing.

However... if Fei Liu could see Rong Rong's changes, perhaps Fei Liu would change his opinion of Rong Rong.

"Would you like to come with us?" Ning Mingrui asked seriously.

"No need." Ning Feiliu was too lazy to join in the fun. He had no interest in personally meeting Ning Rongrong, Tang San, Dai Mubai, or any of them.

Instead of wasting his time, he should go back to Tiandou City to see Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo.

Why bother joining in the fun with Tang San and Shrek Academy?

Moreover, it's a good thing that these outsiders teach Ning Rongrong a lesson.

Ning Feiliu never changed her mind about Ning Rongrong.

No matter how much the family talks to or disciplines this ingrate, it's useless; instead, they'll just complain about him.

Only when an outsider teaches her a profound and unforgettable lesson will she change her outward personality.

As for Ning Rongrong, this might actually make her side towards outsiders in the future...

Ning Feiliu didn't care. With his support for his older brother Ning Mingrui, even if Ning Rongrong had Tang San's help, how could she possibly turn the world upside down?

In the original storyline, Ning Fengzhi might have willingly become a sucker and buy large quantities of Tang San's hidden weapons to give him money, and Ning Rongrong might even have a slight reversal of fortune.

However, Tang Sect's hidden weapons, compared to the soul tools of the second era of Dou Di Zhuan, were rendered obsolete by the soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire.

Ning Feiliu has the "Orn" series of soul tools. If she goes back and lets Wuliu Pavilion start mass production, then she will naturally look down on Tang San's mass-produced hidden weapons.

If it were the top-tier hidden weapons of the Tang Clan, such as the Buddha's Wrath Lotus and the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, they might be able to rival soul guides.

But the key point is that Tang San hasn't even gotten his hands on the materials for making the Buddha's Wrath Lotus and the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles yet.

These top-tier hidden weapons are simply not mass-produced items.

Ning Feiliu's soul tool can be mass-produced and is quite powerful.

So, when Tang San and Ning Rongrong turned the tables with the hammer, Ning Rongrong became an outsider, wholeheartedly devoted to Tang San and Shrek Academy, which was exactly what Ning Feiliu wanted.

This is a good opportunity to expel this ungrateful wretch from the sect!

In short, Ning Feiliu was not worried about Ning Rongrong and Tang San at all, and had absolutely no interest in them.

If Tang San doesn't become his enemy, then they can live in peace.

However, he wouldn't get too close to Tang San, the kind of guy who brings bad luck to anyone who gets close to him, and even his cheap teacher has to give up his lair for him.

By getting close to that nobody, there's a small chance you might ride his coattails and become a god together.

But most likely, they'll end up like Dugu Bo, Yu Xiaogang, Ning Fengzhi, Bai Chenxiang, Lou Gao, Tianqing Niu Mang, and Titan Giant Ape—all just there to pave the way for his own benefit.

If Tang San becomes his enemy, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

After all, although Tang San had Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo, standing behind him, compared to Xue Di, a peerless ferocious beast that had lived for nearly 700,000 years, even if Tang Hao used the ultimate technique of the Great Sumeru Hammer, the Ring Explosion, he would still be no match for her.

With Tang San's help, Tang Hao's severed limbs regenerated, and his strength broke through to level 97 again. He then used the Great Sumeru Hammer Ring-Exploding Technique to defeat the Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had a soul power of level 98.

At this moment, he only had level 95 soul power and was still injured. If he were to fight Xue Di, even with an overestimation of his abilities, he could only manage a draw at best.

Although Ning Feiliu currently only has a Soul Power of Level 66, his true combat strength is such that he is not afraid of Soul Saints or even Soul Douluos.

The full ten-thousand-year soul ring, along with the enhancement from multiple soul rings in the past, now includes a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and a soul bone.

With the added boost from the Dark Harvest and Calm Mind runes, as well as more than a dozen different soul skills.

After leaving the City of Slaughter, he obtained the Samsara Domain.

The amplification effect of the Samsara Domain is not that strong, but it is still quite powerful compared to Soul Masters without a domain.

Ning Feiliu was facing Flander and Zhao Wuji from Shrek Academy without any pressure. So what if she took the opportunity to kill Tang San?

So he became even more indifferent and didn't want to join in the fun.

"Big brother, I'm very tired and want to rest. You guys go ahead," Ning Feiliu said casually at the end.

I've had a bad cold these past couple of days, and my head is really throbbing. I'll just write a short, filler chapter. The next part is going to be the angst-filled third part, so I'll try to pick up the pace quickly. I expect to finish around a million words.
