Douluo's Bone Transforms into a Divine Dragon

Chapter 81 Departure into the Star Dou Great Forest (Part Two)

Hearing the approaching noise behind her, Ning Rongrong's voice suddenly turned cold: "Didn't you hear me? Get out!"

However, as Ning Rongrong uttered these words, a warm and gentle voice immediately followed: "Is it my own courtyard? Do you expect me to get out too?"

Ning Rongrong paused, holding the watering can. She turned around abruptly, her eyes meeting Gu Xuan's heterochromatic gaze, one red and one blue.

"Gu... Brother Gu Xuan?" Ning Rongrong looked at Gu Xuan, whose appearance had changed drastically, and was somewhat unable to recognize him, but the voice just now was so familiar.

Gu Xuan took two steps forward, came to Ning Rongrong's side, raised his hand to take the water bottle from her hand, and gently smoothed the hair on her forehead.

"It's only been a few months, and you already don't recognize me?" Gu Xuan's voice was magnetic and gentle.

Coupled with this gentle gesture, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart, and even Dugu Yan, who was silently watching this scene from the doorway, couldn't help but frown slightly.

However, considering that Ning Rongrong is Gu Xuan's sister and the two grew up together, it seems that this is just a brother's normal concern and affection for his sister.

So she held back and didn't say anything.

Compared to Dugu Yan's composure, Ning Rongrong was not so quiet. After confirming that it was Gu Xuan, she jumped up and wrapped her long, fair legs around Gu Xuan's waist and her arms around his neck.

"Brother Gu Xuan! You finally remembered Rongrong. Dad, Grandpa Gu, and Grandpa Jian all said you came back three months ago, but at that time Rongrong was in seclusion trying to break through to level 27. Why didn't you even take a look at Rongrong before leaving?" Ning Rongrong said, tears falling like pearls.

Seeing Ning Rongrong's reaction, Gu Xuan felt a pang of pity. He supported Ning Rongrong's waist with one hand and wiped away her tears with the other. He hadn't expected Ning Rongrong to have such a strong reaction, after all, she was nothing like a little witch.

Dugu Yan, who was standing at the door, was also quite moved. When she saw Ning Rongrong and Gu Xuan acting so intimately, she almost couldn't help but speak up.

However, Ning Rongrong's subsequent actions made her feel sorry for her younger sister.

She had only spent a little over four months with Gu Xuan, but his thoughtfulness and warmth had already made her inseparable from him. It's easy to imagine how dependent Ning Rongrong, who must have been pampered by Gu Xuan since childhood, was on her brother.

Thinking this way, Dugu Yan felt relieved. She was already Gu Xuan's girlfriend, so why was she being jealous of a little girl?

The key point is that the little sister's tearful appearance made her want to go up and comfort her.

But she knew that now was not the right time for her to enter the fray.

As Gu Xuan wiped away Ning Rongrong's tears, he said, "Come down quickly, you're wearing a dress!"

Gu Xuan's words only made Ning Rongrong more anxious. She suddenly paused, then exclaimed urgently, "No!"

Not only that, the girl's two long, jade-like legs clamped even tighter, and Gu Xuan felt as if he had bought a belt that was extremely ill-fitting. However, this belt was soft and not only was it not uncomfortable, but it also had a unique and wonderful feel.

But now Dugu Yan is right at the door. Even though he explained before that Ning Rongrong is his sister, if things continue like this, then in Dugu Yan's eyes, she will no longer be just a simple sister.

After all, which brother and sister play like this?

No way! You can play like that, but you can't play like that forever!

Gu Xuan pinched Ning Rongrong's slightly chubby cheeks, enjoying the feeling of her full of collagen; it was like touching a soft, icy dumpling.

"Rongrong, I'm back now. Besides, I haven't seen you come to the academy to look for me." Gu Xuan said softly.

Little did anyone know that Gu Xuan's mention of this only made Ning Rongrong cry again. She pitifully said, "I did go, okay? After I broke through to level 27 in my seclusion, I ate the Qiluo Tulip you brought back. After breaking through to level 30 and getting my soul ring, I went to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. But you weren't at the academy then! Even after the academy went on holiday, you still hadn't come back!"

"You were clearly not here, yet you're saying I didn't go looking for you..."

As she spoke, the little girl burst into tears as if she had suffered some great injustice, and Gu Xuan couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

After all, it would be unbearable for anyone to see such a cute and well-behaved little sister crying so sadly in their arms.

Moreover, Gu Xuan really couldn't stand this position, because Ning Rongrong's figure had changed so much in just over four months.

The sentence has been extended from life imprisonment to a minimum of three years but a minimum of ten years. This is not a small change, but a major one.

She didn't even have an A before, but now she's almost a B. She's been rubbing against Gu Xuan, making him unsure how to comfort Ning Rongrong.

But Dugu Yan was watching right at the door, and he didn't want her to misunderstand and turn what should have been a beautiful and harmonious reunion between siblings into a battleground.

Having no other choice, Gu Xuan used all his skills and finally managed to comfort Ning Rongrong, agreeing to take her to study at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy next semester.

Then he learned that Ning Rongrong's soul power had actually reached level thirty-six, just one level away from catching up with Gu Xuan, which made Gu Xuan quite helpless.

After all, the two immortal herbs he ate were not primarily for increasing soul power, but rather for modifying and improving his physical attributes. Moreover, he needed to compress his soul power to temper his body in preparation for receiving the inheritances of the two great dragon kings in the future.

Ning Rongrong's soul power is now only one level lower than his, which makes Ning Rongrong a little smug.

Originally, Ning Rongrong was only level 35 after absorbing her third soul ring, but she leveled up again in three months and is now at the mid-stage of level 36. Her cultivation speed is incredibly fast.

After showing off for a while, Ning Rongrong asked Gu Xuan why his eyes and hair had changed like this. Although he was indeed quite handsome, Ning Rongrong still needed some time to get used to the sudden change.

Then, Dugu Yan was introduced to Ning Rongrong. Ning Rongrong, who was happily enjoying the warm embrace of Brother Gu Xuan, was stunned the moment Dugu Yan appeared.

Is this really my sister-in-law? This can't be real, right? She's only been gone for less than five months and already has a boyfriend?

You're only twelve years old, Gu Xuan! And another thing! There's a cute and adorable girl right in front of you, can't you see her? You just went out and you're already flirting with other women?

Although Dugu Yan's beauty was comparable to Ning Rongrong's, due to her age, Dugu Yan's figure far surpassed Ning Rongrong's, a fact that could not be compensated for.

For some reason, Ning Rongrong was somewhat unhappy, which dampened even her joy at the long-awaited reunion.

It was at this moment that Gu Xuan realized how much Ning Rongrong depended on him.

Of course, it's also possible that the two of them had basically been together before, which made Gu Xuan used to Ning Rongrong clinging to him every day. Now that he's been away for several months and is back, Ning Rongrong's emotions have suddenly exploded.

It has to be said that Ning Rongrong is still very attractive to Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan himself knew his limitations. He could refrain from actively provoking those beautiful women, but if they took the initiative, he would generally accept them as long as there were no major disagreements.

However, because of Dugu Yan, he can no longer favor Ning Rongrong. He still cares for her, but it's impossible for him to take things further.

However, Gu Xuan didn't know anything about Ning Rongrong.

Fortunately, Ning Rongrong wasn't unreasonable. After learning that Dugu Yan was her sister-in-law, although she still found it difficult to get close to Dugu Yan, she could still communicate normally.

However, before Gu Xuan and Ning Rongrong could get closer for even a few days, Gu Xuan set off for the Star Dou Great Forest with Ning Fengzhi and the others the very next day.

Ning Rongrong certainly wanted to go with them, but the Star Dou Great Forest was too dangerous. In the end, she had no choice but to stay at the sect alone.

When Gu Xuan left, Ning Rongrong cried again, her eyes filled with tears, which made Ning Fengzhi, her father, feel heartbroken.

However, since things have come to this point, Ning Fengzhi also hopes that Ning Rongrong will not rely too much on Gu Xuan, since Gu Xuan already has Dugu Yan.

Ning Fengzhi was actually quite helpless about this, after all, he had only hoped that Gu Xuan and Ning Rongrong could become a couple, since Ning Rongrong had relied on Gu Xuan since childhood.

Now... Ning Fengzhi naturally doesn't want Ning Rongrong to become a concubine.

After all, Dugu Yan's status was what it was, and she was Gu Xuan's first girlfriend, so Ning Fengzhi simply didn't interfere and let the young people handle it themselves.

Of course, ever since Gu Xuan returned with Dugu Yan three months ago, Ning Fengzhi has been subtly instilling in Ning Rongrong the idea that she shouldn't be a simp, after all, she is the future successor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Moreover, Ning Rongrong is the only one with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, so her future is not limited to just this.

But that's a story for later. At this moment, Ning Fengzhi stood on Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword, gazing towards the Star Dou Great Forest, his heart brimming with uncontrollable excitement.

When he returns, he will be a Soul Douluo, a Soul Douluo with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul.

Oh no, it should be the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!

P.S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
