Douluo Continent: A Reincarnated Immortal, A Flute Melody Sends Off Heroes

Chapter 17 The Arrogant Ning Rongrong, Turning Black into White

After doing all this.

The figure of the banished immortal moved lightly through the forest, surrounded by petals, as if blending into the surrounding nature.

His gaze was indifferent, as if he were unconcerned about everything around him.

However, just as he was about to cross the Sunset Forest, a faint weeping sound reached his ears.

It was a little girl's voice, filled with fear and helplessness, coming intermittently.

The immortal paused slightly, his brows furrowed, and then he walked toward the direction from which the sound came.

"Um?"

With just a casual glance, the target was already locked in.

Not far away, a little girl of about six years old was huddled under a big tree. Her clothes were tattered, her face was covered in tears, her hands were tightly clasped to her chest, and her body was trembling with fear.

Before her, a hundred-year-old human-faced demon spider slowly approached, its eight scarlet eyes fixed on her, emitting a low hiss, as if enjoying the fear of its prey.

"Ugly monster...don't come any closer..." The little girl's voice was choked with sobs, her eyes filled with despair. She wanted to run away, but her legs felt like lead, and she couldn't move.

The human-faced spider seemed to understand her fear, letting out a piercing shriek and suddenly opening its blood-red maw to pounce on the little girl!

At this critical moment, a cold glint flashed in the immortal's eyes. He did not make a move, but simply waved his hand lightly, his fingertip tracing a pink petal.

"laugh--"

With a soft sound, the human-faced spider's body suddenly stiffened, and then it collapsed to the ground with a "thud".

Its head was pierced by a flower petal, and purple blood slowly flowed out, filling the air with a foul stench.

The little girl froze, tears still wet in her eyes, yet she had forgotten how to cry. She stared blankly at the fallen spider before her, then looked up at the figure not far away.

A young man in white slowly emerged from the woods.

Behind her, countless pink petals fluttered in the air.

He held a jade flute in his hand, his expression calm, yet seemingly carrying a hint of a smile.

The immortal figure appeared exceptionally gentle in the sunlight as he slowly knelt down to wipe away the tears from the girl's eyes.

He is as warm as the older brother next door.

"Who...who are you?" the little girl asked timidly, her voice trembling slightly.

The immortal's gaze lingered for a moment on the seven-tiered pagoda in the little girl's hand before he asked, "Are you from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

The girl nodded, but soon her attention was drawn back to the dead human-faced spider on the ground.

Her body trembled slightly, clearly not yet fully recovered from the shock she had just experienced.

"Is...is it really dead?" the little girl asked cautiously, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

The immortal shook his head, his tone calm: "He's still breathing."

The little girl's relaxed body tensed up again, but she quickly put on a haughty expression.

She raised her chin, put her hands on her hips, and said calmly, "Hmph! Even if you hadn't come, I could have dealt with this ugly monster myself! I am Ning Rongrong, the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

Upon hearing this, the immortal glanced at her indifferently, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Oh? Is that so? Then who was it that was so frightened that their legs went weak and they couldn't even walk?"

Ning Rongrong was speechless, her face flushing red. She stomped her foot angrily, "You...you're talking nonsense! I'm not scared at all! I just...I just think this spider is too ugly and I don't want to get close to it!"

The immortal chuckled softly, not exposing her bravado, but turning to leave: "Since you're so capable, I'll be going now."

Seeing him about to leave, Ning Rongrong panicked and rushed forward, grabbing his sleeve. "Wait! You...you can't leave me here! This is Sunset Forest, full of dangerous soul beasts! How...how am I supposed to get back alone?"

The immortal looked down at her small hand clutching his sleeve, his brow furrowing slightly. "Didn't you say you could handle it? What, are you scared now?"

Ning Rongrong bit her lip, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face, but she quickly regained her haughty demeanor: "Who...who said I was scared! I just...I just felt that since you saved me, you should take full responsibility! Besides, I'm the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If you get me back safely, my father will definitely thank you handsomely!"

The immortal shook his head, too lazy to argue with her anymore, and turned to walk out of the forest.

Ning Rongrong quickly followed, her little hand still tightly gripping his sleeve, afraid that he would change his mind.

The two walked one after the other through the Sunset Forest.

As Ning Rongrong walked, she secretly glanced at the profile of the immortal, her heart filled with curiosity.

She couldn't help but ask, "Hey, who exactly are you? Why are you here? What's your martial spirit? Why can you kill people with flower petals? And why are you so handsome?"

The immortal did not answer, but simply said, "You ask too many questions."

"Boom!"

The latest novel is first published here!

Just then, a loud argument broke out in the distance.

"Rongrong's presence is right ahead, Fengzhi. If anything happens to Rongrong, I'll never forgive you!"

"Alright, Uncle Jian, finding Rongrong is the priority!"

Hearing the two arguing, the immortal lowered his head slightly and looked at Ning Rongrong beside him.

Have people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School arrived?

"Whoosh!"

Two dark figures broke through the clouds and headed straight for this place.

Those people hovered five meters away from the immortal, and they were dressed in white robes.

One was an elderly man with sharp eyes and flowing white hair, and the other was a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes.

Ning Rongrong saw two figures flying towards her from afar, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes.

She suddenly loosened her grip on the immortal's sleeve, took a few steps back, and with a wronged expression on her face, shouted loudly, "Daddy! Grandpa Sword! He...he bullied me!"

Upon hearing this, the immortal frowned slightly, turned to look at Ning Rongrong, and said with a hint of coldness in his voice, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Ning Rongrong pretended not to hear and continued to sob, "He just killed the soul beast I had my eye on and threatened me! Waaaaah..."

Her voice was choked with sobs, and a few tears even welled up in the corners of her eyes, making her look pitiful.

The two people flying in from a distance were Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, their faces immediately darkened, and their gazes shot towards the immortal like knives.

"Boy, how dare you bully the princess of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!" Chen Xin snorted coldly, brandishing his long sword. Sword energy surged forth, heading straight for the Immortal.

Although Ning Fengzhi did not attack directly, his eyes were filled with coldness: "If you apologize now, perhaps we can spare your life."
