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

Chapter 311 The Crush of Heaven

Ning Feiliu hadn't found any clues for several days, and he began to believe that what Zhu Zhuqing said was true.

So he planned to stay for two more days. If he still didn't find anything unusual, he would go straight back to Tiandou City and not care about anything else.

However, although Zhu Zhuqing had been trying to pretend that she knew nothing, her slight abnormalities in the past few days had still caught the attention of Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan is alright; given her personality, she can be very open and doesn't hide her relationship with Ning Feiliu, Ye Lingling, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er at all.

But Ye Lingling felt a little embarrassed, after all, it was something she was indeed ashamed to talk about.

But she had tasted the sweetness and enjoyed it, so she couldn't help herself every night.

She had no choice but to pretend to be confused, just like Zhu Zhuqing.

However... Zhu Zhuqing also noticed the awkwardness Ye Lingling felt when she was with her these past two days, and she was genuinely curious.

So, during one of their private moments, she couldn't help but ask, "Lingling... why are you all... with Ning Feiliu?"

Zhu Zhuqing directly questioned and exposed the matter, leaving Ye Lingling feeling extremely embarrassed and awkward. "This... you knew about it?"

"I know." Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said helplessly, "You go there every night, of course I know."

"It's because Fei Liu is too amazing, so Yan Yan and the others need my help..." Ye Lingling said, her pretty face turning red.

Actually, she also enjoys it, otherwise she wouldn't be unable to resist going there every night.

At first, she thought that with Zhu Zhuqing around, she wouldn't go during this period.

Ke Ningfeiliu was like candy to a child, making Ye Lingling unable to resist.

It gave her the feeling of "the first day of abstinence" like a man, and then the third day felt like the first day again.

"Is he... really that amazing?" Zhu Zhuqing couldn't believe it and couldn't help but ask.

"Fei Liu has always been very good at everything. In my eyes, there's nothing about him that he's not good at," Ye Lingling said, blushing.

"But...why are you all willing to be with him..." Zhu Zhuqing voiced her biggest question.

None of the four girls were frivolous. Their family background, cultivation, talent, and personality—any three of these factors guaranteed that they wouldn't be frivolous.

Even though Dugu Yan seems the most frivolous, her family background, talent, and cultivation level all destined her to be the kind of girl who is really frivolous and doesn't care about anything.

"Because Fei Liu is very good," Ye Lingling said immediately. "In fact, the reason we have achieved what we have today is because of Fei Liu's help. Even so, as you can see... the gap between us and Fei Liu is still so big."

She had always been quite clear about this, whether it was Dugu Yan, herself, or the Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er sisters who appeared later.

They now possess cultivation levels comparable to ordinary Soul Kings, all thanks to Ning Feiliu's help.

Without Ning Feiliu's immortal herbs, the Moon Essence Breathing Technique, and those miraculous pills, they would at most have just broken through to the Soul Sect realm.

How could someone with cultivation levels around the Soul King level be common?

Unlike the fairy-like girl in her previous life who thought it was her own ability to help her, Ye Lingling and the other girls always knew that it was Ning Feiliu who helped them.

Therefore, they are very grateful to Ning Feiliu, and as a result... their feelings of liking each other further evolve into feelings of inferiority, self-deprecation, and indebtedness.

Although Ning Feiliu did not actually use these things to show that she was superior.

But Ye Lingling and the others became willing to give back because of this.

They didn't want Ning Feiliu to feel embarrassed because of the four of them, so they acquiesced to this happening.

Moreover, they have formed an alliance of interests, especially Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. They were afraid that they would not be able to protect such an outstanding Ning Feiliu, so Dugu Yan was willing to sacrifice herself and let Ye Lingling join in to share Ning Feiliu.

"We are not as good as Fei Liu, and no one is good enough to keep Fei Liu. Besides, you have seen how amazing Fei Liu is, so we are willing to accept this." Ye Lingling no longer dodged the question, but said with a smile.

"Besides... Fei Liu isn't the womanizer you think he is." She defended Ning Fei Liu, saying, "He's very outstanding, and many girls like him, but he won't accept just anyone."

"Yan Yan knew him the longest, so she had the deepest feelings for him." She then gave another example, "Next was me. Fei Liu, Yan Yan, and I were friends at first, but I unknowingly fell in love with him."

"Bing'er and Yue'er saved Fei Liu's life in an accident, which is why he accepted us. He also doesn't want to abandon anyone because of this."

Zhu Zhuqing immediately understood. She thought about it for a moment... It seemed that Ning Feiliu really wasn't the kind of womanizer.

He's just too gentle inside and doesn't want to give up on any girl.

If that's the explanation, she can still accept it.

At least he's much better than Dai Mubai, who accepts anyone.

It's inevitable that someone's excellence will attract many girls...

After all, even Ning Feiliu's face alone is enough to attract many girls.

Even Zhu Zhuqing felt a flutter in her heart when she thought of Ning Feiliu's handsome face...

……

Two days passed in a flash.

Ning Feiliu was now completely certain that Zhu Zhuqing was right.

Because if Zhu Zhuqing hadn't severed ties with Shrek Academy, and Shrek Academy had already joined the Star Luo Empire, even if she and Dai Mubai didn't get along, Shrek Academy would still have come looking for her.

So he decided to set off again to return to Tiandou City.

But before that, he found Zhu Zhuqing.

"First of all, I'm sorry for the bad things I did to you these past few days, which restricted your freedom," Ning Feiliu apologized to Zhu Zhuqing first.

As he spoke, he took out a box from his soul tool and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing, saying, "This is a small apology from me."

"This is..." Zhu Zhuqing asked in confusion.

"Mysterious Water Pill," Ning Feiliu said. "You should already know the effects of this pill, so I don't need to explain further."

After several years of sales by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and confirmation from dozens of users outside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the powerful effects of the Xuan Shui Dan have become widely known throughout the continent.

Its appeal to young Soul Masters is also immense.

Some high-level Soul Masters who have no offspring or live a solitary life may disdain it, but young Soul Masters whose cultivation is still at a low level are eager to obtain the Profound Water Pill.

However, the exorbitant price of 20,000 gold soul coins, coupled with the monopolistic market where there is no market for them, still makes them unattainable for most.

At least... none of the Shrek Academy students have ever bought one before. Zhu Zhuqing naturally had never obtained the Xuan Shui Pill, and she was also very conflicted at the moment.

Given her personality, she wouldn't want such an expensive apology.

However, as a Soul Master, the pursuit of strength is something she cannot refuse.

After thinking for a moment, she accepted it anyway, but she solemnly said to Ning Feiliu, "This apology is too much. I shouldn't accept it, nor is it necessary, but consider it my shamelessness... However, I can promise you one thing: whatever you ask me to do, I will do it..."

They were talking perfectly fine until, for some reason, Zhu Zhuqing thought about what she could do for Ning Feiliu before saying those words, except...

Her pretty face suddenly turned red for no apparent reason, and her words began to sound a little strange.

Ning Feiliu also subconsciously glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's impressive figure, but quickly pretended to return to normal.

"No need..." He quickly said a few words to cover his embarrassment, and continued, "This is also my way of helping you out on behalf of Lingling. Lingling likes you very much and treats you like a younger sister, so I'm just giving you a little help."

Moreover, he also admired Zhu Zhuqing; even disregarding her appearance, Zhu Zhuqing's personality was quite good.

Ning Feiliu always felt that it was a real pity that Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar were in Shrek Academy. Even compared to his sister Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar had much better personalities.

However, whether in the original storyline or now, these two can only be marginal figures at Shrek Academy.

Oscar is alright, but Zhu Zhuqing is even worse than Ma Hongjun, and can only be used as high-level fusion material.

Now that they've parted ways with Shrek Academy, Ning Feiliu admires Zhu Zhuqing even more and feels that she should help her if she can, so she gives her the Xuan Shui Dan.

"No... my promise will always stand." Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ning Feiliu and said earnestly, "No matter when you say it, I will do it for you."

"Alright then." Ning Feiliu smiled. In truth, as long as he never used this promise, Zhu Zhuqing's promise was not very meaningful.

So he readily agreed, but whether he'll actually use it later...

Ning Feiliu felt that it would be difficult to use it.

"But we're planning to go back now. As for you... have you decided where you want to go?" Ning Feiliu asked.

Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip and then said, "Can I... continue to stay with you?"

Ning Feiliu paused for a moment, then frowned and thought for a while before saying, "That's fine... When we return to Tiandou City, you can continue to live with Lingling. I'm sure the Ye family won't refuse you."

The support-type Soul Masters are the family least likely to reject talented Battle Soul Masters, and Zhu Zhuqing's talent is truly remarkable.

Although not top-tier, his talent is definitely at the level of a first-class young soul master on the continent.

Therefore, the Ye family will definitely still be willing to accept Zhu Zhuqing, especially with Ye Lingling also there.

"Alright..." For some reason, Zhu Zhuqing felt a little disappointed.

Because she actually felt that... if Ning Feiliu invited her to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, that would be a very good thing.

However, Ning Feiliu allowed her to move into the Ye family home...

It's not that Ye Lingling's Ye family is bad, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is far stronger than the Ye family.

Therefore, she secretly hoped to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

But now she certainly won't say anything more, and will tacitly approve of it.

……

Ning Feiliu immediately set off again with Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and... Zhu Zhuqing.

But soon Zhu Zhuqing felt a little uncomfortable. Ever since she learned about Ning Feiliu's relationship with the four girls, and Ning Feiliu also learned that Zhu Zhuqing knew about their relationship, Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er became even more undisguised.

They were alright when traveling in the suburbs, but once they entered the town, they became completely unrestrained.

Moreover, Ning Feiliu specially booked another luxury suite for Zhu Zhuqing, but he and the four girls, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er, shared a single luxury double room.

Every night, Zhu Zhuqing would cultivate alone in her room.

Zhu Zhuqing could never concentrate on her cultivation because of this. Whenever she closed her eyes, thinking of Ning Feiliu and the others next door, she couldn't help but blush and feel her heart race.

Until... they finally returned to Tiandou City.

Zhu Zhuqing then moved into the Ye family home with Ye Lingling.

Ning Feiliu also planned to send Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er back to Tianshui City. However, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er said that they had already written back to Tianshui City and asked Leng Hanxue and their parents for their opinions. They planned to stay in Tiandou City for a while longer and return to Tianshui City in half a year.

Leng Hanxue and Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's parents unexpectedly agreed to this.

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er actually decided to stay in Tian Dou City with Ning Feiliu because... they had become addicted to Ning Feiliu's charm.

Ning Feiliu stopped insisting and returned to Tiandou City to continue his research, cultivation, and mission progress.

First, there's the issue of soul tools. Although he developed several sets of soul tools, he still wanted to improve them. For example, an intelligent version of the Explorer's Armguard could output the soul power stored in the soul power crystal according to the strength of the opponent's soul skill, releasing a normal version of the Invincible Golden Body, or an Invincible Golden Body that could block a Title Douluo's attack.

After thinking about it, he decided to add a special soul-guided cannon to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

When faced with the Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Operation, we can simply use a Soul Guidance Cannon to repel their army.

In addition, he would also help Ye Lingling's clinic. If Ye Lingling discovered any special medicinal materials that could treat specific injuries or illnesses, he would also help extract the medicinal components and conduct detailed pharmacological experiments.

Things are different now; he can now use mice and conduct further pharmacological experiments in a much safer way.

In addition, he consulted Ning Fengzhi, intending to focus on completing the task of controlling distractions and reach the level of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart as soon as possible.

However, Ning Fengzhi didn't seem to have many tricks up his sleeve. All he could say was to practice more. With Ning Feiliu's comprehension, he might be able to break through one day.

He has now put aside the cultivation of soul power and such.

Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er have been cultivating their soul power, since Dugu Yan is only one level away from breaking through to Soul Emperor.

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er started later, so they are still working hard to break through to the Soul King realm.

However, they had no shortage of upgrade potions and soul power recovery potions. Ning Fengzhi was very generous to these "daughters-in-law," so their cultivation speed was very fast.
