Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

"you're right."

After a while, Ning Fengzhi finally nodded, stood up, and said, "I'll tell them tomorrow morning."

……

At the same time, in Wang Teng's room.

He had just come out of the bathroom, his hair still wet, wearing a loose white nightgown, and was getting ready to go to bed.

After spending several days in the Star Dou Great Forest and absorbing his fifth spirit ring, Wang Teng was in good spirits, but his body was indeed somewhat exhausted.

Just as Wang Teng sat down on the edge of the bed, there was a soft knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock".

Three tones, neither too loud nor too soft.

Wang Teng got up to open the door, and he paused for a moment when the door opened.

Standing outside the door was Zhu Zhuqing.

She had just finished showering, and her hair was still damp, hanging loosely over her shoulders.

She was wearing a light purple thin shirt, the fabric of which was light and soft, and the outline of her body could be vaguely seen.

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes.

Before Wang Teng could speak, Zhu Zhuqing had already squeezed into the room and then closed the door behind her.

"Zhuqing, you..."

Before Wang Teng could finish speaking, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly stood on tiptoe and covered his mouth with her hand.

"Don't speak."

Zhu Zhuqing's voice was very soft, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

Wang Teng looked into her eyes.

Those eyes, usually so clear and cold, now seemed to be veiled by a thin layer of mist, containing tension, shyness, and a hint of unwavering determination.

Zhu Zhuqing released her grip, took a half step back, lowered her head, and said softly, "When Tang Hao captured me in the Star Dou Great Forest before... I suddenly realized something."

"what's up?"

Wang Teng's voice also sounded a little strained.

"Life is too short, and there are too many unexpected events."

Zhu Zhuqing raised her head, looked into Wang Teng's eyes, and slowly said, "I don't want to wait any longer."

After she finished speaking, her face turned red to her ears, but she did not look away and stared straight at Wang Teng.

Wang Teng paused for a moment, then reached out and gently grasped Zhu Zhuqing's soft hand.

Zhu Zhuqing's hands were cold and trembling slightly, but they gradually calmed down after Wang Teng held them.

"You don't regret it?" Wang Teng asked.

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head.

The moonlight outside the window was like water, shining through the thin curtains and spreading a layer of silvery-white light on the ground.

There were no lights in the room, only moonlight and faint lights from afar, which cast long, long shadows of the two people.

Zhu Zhuqing took a step forward and buried her face in Wang Teng's chest.

Wang Teng could feel her heartbeat, which was fast and strong, and he could also feel the warmth and softness of her body.

Wang Teng lowered his head and whispered something in Zhu Zhuqing's ear.

Then, Zhu Zhuqing's body stiffened slightly, and she nodded gently.

Silent all night.

……

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window screen, casting rays of light on Wang Teng's face.

Wang Teng opened his eyes. The seat next to him was empty, and a faint fragrance lingered on the bedding.

He sat up and saw a glass of warm water and a note on the small table beside the bed.

The note was written in Zhu Zhuqing's neat handwriting: "I'm going back to rest now."

Wang Teng smiled, got up, washed up, changed his clothes, and went out.

He had just stepped into the corridor when he saw Ning Rongrong walking towards him from the opposite side.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong's expression seemed off.

Her lips were slightly pouting, and her eyes were red, as if she had just been crying or had suffered some injustice.

"Rongrong, what's wrong?"

Wang Teng asked.

Ning Rongrong didn't answer. Instead, she walked straight up to him, stood on tiptoe, and gave him a light bite on the shoulder.

"Hiss—" Wang Teng gasped, "Are you a dog?"

"You're the one who's like a dog!"

Ning Rongrong released her mouth, and tears finally rolled down her cheeks. She said aggrievedly, "You...you and Zhuqing...I know everything."

Wang Teng paused for a moment, then sighed.

"Rongrong, I..."

"You don't need to explain."

Ning Rongrong wiped away her tears, interrupted Wang Teng, and said, "I was mentally prepared for this kind of thing, but now that it has actually happened, I am still very sad."

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong's tears fell again.

Wang Teng reached out and pulled Ning Rongrong into his arms. Ning Rongrong struggled a couple of times, then stopped moving, leaning against Wang Teng's chest and sobbing softly.

"I will be good to you."

Wang Teng said in a low voice, "We have a long future ahead of us, and the three of us will be a harmonious family."

"If you dare to treat us badly, I'll have my father kick you out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Ning Rongrong said sullenly.

Wang Teng couldn't help but laugh: "Okay."

Ning Rongrong rubbed against Wang Teng's chest, wiped away her tears, and then looked up. Her eyes were still red, but the corners of her mouth had turned up slightly: "Let's go. Dad wants us to go to the main hall. He said he has something to tell us."

……

When the two arrived at the main hall, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were already there.

Bone Douluo is not here; he must have other matters to attend to.

Ning Fengzhi sat in the main seat and saw Wang Teng and Ning Rongrong walk in together. He glanced at the two of them, his lips twitched slightly, but he ultimately said nothing.

He's a smart man; he can tell some things without even asking.

"sit down."

Ning Fengzhi pointed to the chair next to him.

The three sat down, and Ning Fengzhi cleared his throat and said, "Uncle Jian told me everything that happened in the Star Dou Great Forest last night."

"I already know about Tang Hao's matter."

Ning Fengzhi looked at Wang Teng, his tone tinged with apology, and said, "I'm sorry you had to suffer."

"But don't worry, we'll remember this debt."

"If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely get it back."

Wang Teng shook his head and said, "Uncle Ning, it's not your fault."

"Tang Hao is a Title Douluo. If he launches a sneak attack, no one can stop him."

Ning Fengzhi nodded and didn't say anything more about the topic.

He changed the subject, his tone becoming serious: "There's one more thing I need to tell you. The results are in Xue Qinghe's case."

Wang Teng raised an eyebrow slightly and guessed, "Emperor Xueye?"

"He's unconscious."

Ning Fengzhi’s voice was low as he explained, “Just a few days ago, the imperial physician said it was due to old age and physical weakness, caused by overwork, but we all know what really happened.”

Wang Teng didn't press for details; he simply listened quietly.

Ning Fengzhi continued, "The Crown Prince has sent word that the annual hunt will be held at the Royal Hunting Grounds in seven days."

“In previous years, Emperor Xueye presided over the ceremony, but this year Emperor Xueye is in a coma, so the Crown Prince will preside over it in his place.”

"Avalanche and Duke Cedar will also be there at that time."

Ning Fengzhi paused, looked into Wang Teng's eyes, and said softly, "The Crown Prince plans to take advantage of this opportunity to seize Avalanche and Cedar."

"In addition, he also invited our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to help him stabilize the situation."

The hall was quiet for a moment.

Wang Teng thought for a moment and asked, "Will the sect intervene at that time?"

"Probably."

Ning Fengzhi nodded and said, "However, you and Rongrong are still young, so there's no need for you to take action yourself."

"The Crown Prince just wants to get to know you, after all, you are the next generation of the sect, and you will inevitably have to deal with each other in the future."

"So, you'll all come along then."

Ning Fengzhi looked at Wang Teng and Ning Rongrong and said, "You don't need to do anything, just follow along."

"Let's see what's going on and broaden our horizons."

Wang Teng nodded: "Okay."

Ning Rongrong obediently replied, "Okay, Dad."
