Chapter 493: The Shameless Ning Rongrong

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since Lingqi and the others left; Feihuang guessed that by now, they should have already set out to sea.

Although he felt a bit of longing in his heart, he still had more important things to do.

The "Soul-Purifying Passage" technique had a total of nine layers, but even with Feihuang's talent, he had only cultivated it to the fifth layer in half a year.

After all, techniques involving the soul were always more profound and unfathomable.

The Fire Dragon King and the Ice Dragon King were both powerhouses not inferior to a God King during their lifetimes; even now, with only a remnant soul remaining, they were absolutely not to be underestimated.

Feihuang needed to practice at least to the seventh layer to have the guarantee to venture deep into the heart of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

This day, while Feihuang was sitting in meditation, Jia Kui arrived at the Eastern Palace, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Ning Rongrong requests an audience!"

Feihuang said helplessly, "Here she comes again. She comes to bother me once every month. Half a year has passed, this is the seventh time, right? Can't she tell that I have no interest in dealing with her at all?"

Ever since Feihuang led the people of the Gu Lei Kingdom to defeat the Offering Hall half a year ago, Ning Rongrong had been clinging to Gu Lei Royal City.

Feihuang knew her thoughts; wasn't it just hoping to borrow his power to complete her revenge against the Spirit Hall? But how could Feihuang easily be used by her? Thus, he treated her like air.

He had originally thought that with Ning Rongrong's princess-syndrome personality, she would surely be unable to endure it for long and would leave obediently, but he hadn't expected her to be so persistent this time. Every month, she would arrive punctually in the middle of the month to request an audience, waiting at the palace gate for a whole day each time, unwavering regardless of wind or rain.

It seemed the disaster of her clan's extermination had indeed made her grow up quite a bit.

She was no longer willful and knew how to swallow her grievances, but what did that have to do with Nan Feihuang? Feihuang's first impression of her was bad; no matter how she changed, Feihuang still did not welcome her.

Moreover, Feihuang had not forgotten that it was her instigation back then that caused Bone Douluo to come and kill him, only to be killed by him in return.

From this perspective, there was a blood feud between Feihuang and Ning Rongrong; helping her might lead to being bitten back one day.

Although with Feihuang's strength, the most Ning Rongrong could do was tickle him, the act of being betrayed was simply disgusting.

If it weren't for the fact that Jia Kui, Xing Daorong, and Pan Feng were her relatives by marriage, Nan Feihuang would have at least expelled her from the territory, even if he didn't kill her.

During this time, Ning Rongrong had been able to live here safely only by relying on the care of those three clanswomen who had married into the Gu Lei Kingdom.

Perhaps the reason Ning Rongrong did not want to leave, besides wanting to use Nan Feihuang's power for revenge, was because of them.

She had previously thought all her relatives and family were dead, but upon arriving in the Gu Lei Kingdom, she remembered she actually had three distant cousins who had married far away into Gu Lei and were not affected by that extermination disaster.

She was not alone; she still had family alive.

Out of kinship, Jia Kui felt embarrassed to drive her away and would even help her request an audience with Nan Feihuang.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, this time Ning Rongrong seems very determined; she won't leave without seeing you. In my opinion, why don't you just meet her? Whether you agree to her request or make her give up completely, it's better than dragging it out with her like this," Jia Kui advised.

"Sigh!" Feihuang sighed helplessly, "Fine. Senior Jia Kui, for your sake, I will see her once. Go and bring her in."

"Understood." Jia Kui received the order and walked out of the Eastern Palace. Before long, he was seen leading a young girl in a green dress inside; it was indeed Ning Rongrong. "Thank you, brother-in-law," Ning Rongrong said to Jia Kui in gratitude. She had become much more tactful now and was very good at building connections.

The woman Jia Kui married was, according to the genealogy, a cousin of Ning Rongrong.

In the past, she would have looked down on these distant relatives, but now, she called them 'cousin' and 'brother-in-law' more affectionately than anyone else.

Her skin having thickened could also be considered proof of her growth.

"Brother-in-law, could you wait outside? I have some words I want to speak to the Flying General alone," Ning Rongrong pleaded.

She had finally obtained the opportunity to meet Nan Feihuang, and this time she was prepared to stake everything she had to beg him. There were some things that, no matter how thick her skin had become, she felt embarrassed to say in front of relatives.

"Then go in. I warn you, although His Highness the Crown Prince is easy to talk to, he does not welcome you. You had best not make him angry," Jia Kui cautioned.

He was not worried about Ning Rongrong being alone with Nan Feihuang; after all, with Ning Rongrong's small arms and legs, could she possibly harm Nan Feihuang? He simply stood outside the Eastern Palace, keeping watch for Nan Feihuang.

Ning Rongrong pushed open the study door and finally saw Nan Feihuang sitting at the desk.

"Flying General, it has been a long time. Seeing you is truly harder than seeing the Emperor of the Empire," Ning Rongrong said.

She had never suffered such grievances before. Back in the day, when her father and two grandfathers were still around, let alone the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace of a kingdom.

Even the Imperial Palace of the Heaven Dou Empire was a place she could go whenever she pleased; who would dare stop her?

Yet today, she had spent a full half-year requesting an audience with Nan Feihuang before she was finally able to see him once.

Actually, she had thought about changing her strategy and requesting an audience with Nan Tianchen, but she soon gave up because she knew that even if Nan Tianchen agreed to her request, it would be useless.

After all, the only ones in the Gu Lei Kingdom who could truly deal with the Spirit Hall were Lan Xue and Nan Feihuang.

And everyone in the world knew that Lan Xue had always been doting on her son; no matter what decision Nan Feihuang made, she would never oppose it.

Therefore, persuading Nan Feihuang was the key to this trip.

"Ning Rongrong, that is because I do not welcome you at all, nor do I want to hear what you have to say. I originally thought you would leave before long, but I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few days, you would become so shameless," Nan Feihuang said bluntly, not being polite to her at all.

The expression on Ning Rongrong's face was somewhat embarrassed and displeased, but it flashed by and vanished, quickly returning to a face full of smiles, "As expected of the Flying General, exactly the same as what my father said. You are the same type as His Excellency Profound Ice; for people you don't like, you aren't even willing to be perfunctory, putting your feelings right out in the open."

Having said that, Ning Rongrong bowed to Nan Feihuang, "Flying General, I apologize to you for my past offenses. I am sorry, please forgive me."

Feihuang frowned. He did not expect that Ning Rongrong had truly become so capable of enduring. The immense hatred caused by the disaster of her clan's extermination was indeed the best motivation to urge a person to grow.

Feihuang wanted to probe her bottom line further and said bluntly, "I didn't expect that a young lady like you would also apologize to others. Do you not hate me? I might as well tell you that back then, that Bone Douluo Gu Rong did not die at the hands of my mother, but was killed by my own hands."
