Chapter 611: Ning Rongrong's Request, Nan Feihuang's Answer
"Many thanks, Wushuang Crown Prince. In that case, Rongrong wants the life of Citun Douluo. As for the remaining Elder, I want to trade with you for the head of Wind Sword Sect Master Feng Bailong. I wonder if that is possible?" Ning Rongrong asked.
She could never forget the people who attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect back then, not even in her dreams.
The six most important people were the four Spirit Hall Elders—Lingyuan, Citun, Demon Bear, and Snake Spear—plus Elephant Armored Sect Master Huyan Zhen and Wind Sword Sect Master Feng Bailong.
Now that Feihuang had already agreed to hand over Lingyuan and Citun, and since Demon Bear and Huyan Zhen were already dead, and Feihuang would not agree to give up Snake Spear, she naturally had to choose the final one, Feng Bailong.
As long as Feng Bailong also died by her hand, the vengeance for at least the few people who were the direct cause of the attack on the sect would be mostly satisfied.
As for that Snake Spear Douluo, it didn't matter if he wasn't killed for the time being; after all, this guy was almost instantly killed in seconds by her Jian Yeye after he took the pill that allowed for a final burst of life, and he had just laid there until the end of the battle, not actually killing anyone.
"Of course you can," Feihuang said indifferently. To him, it made no difference whether it was Feng Bailong or a Spirit Hall Elder. "Then what about the other request? What is it?"
Ning Rongrong thought for a moment, stood up, walked in front of Feihuang, lifted her skirt, and performed a noble salute. "Crown Prince, please give me a chance to enter..."
"Entering the palace is out of the question; choose something else," Feihuang interrupted directly. How could he not know what Ning Rongrong was thinking? She wanted to use his power to rebuild the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect again.
"Why? This isn't something that can't be done, and for you, it only has benefits and no drawbacks. You can gain a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and a beauty without paying any price. Why are you unwilling? Where exactly am I inferior to Xue Ke?" Ning Rongrong said, feeling unreconciled. She truly did not understand why Nan Feihuang was so unwelcoming to her, repeatedly rejecting her overtures.
She could accept Qian Renxue and Lv Lingqi—two supreme monsters whose strength was boundless—but she believed herself to be superior to Xue Ke in both appearance and talent.
"Rongrong...!" Oscar looked at Ning Rongrong's aggrieved expression, wanting to speak but stopping himself.
The person he loved deeply was begging for love from another man and being rejected; the bitterness in his heart was truly beyond words.
When Ning Rongrong was traveling the continent searching for treasures, he had accompanied her the entire time. He knew that Ning Rongrong must have been able to perceive his feelings.
Yet she had always played dumb, treating him only as a good friend, or to put it bluntly, keeping him on the hook as a backup.
In fact, Oscar knew it all clearly; he was just a sycophant, not a fool. But he did not resent Ning Rongrong for this because he knew how great the hatred and responsibility Ning Rongrong carried were.
What she needed was a husband who could help her take revenge and help her rebuild the sect. Unfortunately, he could not do that.
Because their training was cut short, Oscar did not obtain the Mirror Beast Spirit Ring that should have belonged to him, and thus he did not become that unprecedented combat-type support Spirit Master.
And this time, no matter what, this sycophant would find it difficult to fawn over Ning Rongrong again.
Because compared to the original story, Ning Rongrong had experienced much more. In the original, although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect suffered a great disaster, at least one thousand disciples remained, and her father, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo were all alive, so she was still full of hope.
But now, all three thousand disciples were wiped out, and not a single one of her father or the other elders remained; she had to shoulder the responsibility of rebuilding the Seven Treasures alone.
After experiencing so many things, and knowing the importance of power, she intended to maintain the rules of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after rebuilding it in the future: that is, support Spirit Masters must be paired with Battle Spirit Masters. When the time came, as Sect Master, she absolutely could not be the one to break the rule.
She now deeply understood the importance and correctness of this rule. For example, right now, if the person by her side were not Oscar, but Nan Feihuang, any problem, no matter how big, could be solved.
"Ning Rongrong, I promised you I would do one thing within my power, but it is impossible to use myself as a bargaining chip. I am indeed not a monogamous person, but I, Nan Feihuang, am also not someone who simply loses his mind the moment he sees a beautiful woman. Otherwise, my harem could be larger than the White Tiger Great Emperor and the Heaven Dou Great Emperor combined," Feihuang said.
"My three lovers now: Lingqi went from childhood sweethearts to mutual affection and then to love over time. Ke'er went from a national marriage alliance to secret admiration and then to a formal marriage. Xue Jie went from a fated encounter to life-and-death dependence and then to a meeting of hearts."
"As for you and me, is there even half a foundation of affection?"
After hearing Nan Feihuang's words, Ning Rongrong sighed helplessly. "Sigh, forget it. I should have known. Although you are a Crown Prince of a nation, you value the word 'affection' very much. Very well, then I will change the condition. Wushuang Crown Prince, I want you to carve out a piece of tribal land for me within Gu Lei Imperial City for my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and in addition, grant me a noble title of the Gu Lei Empire."
"Oh, so that's it. A fine calculation!" Nan Feihuang looked at Ning Rongrong with appreciation. How could he not see through her thoughts?
Ning Rongrong had set her sights on the potential of the Gu Lei Empire and wanted to board the Gu Lei Empire's ship as early as possible.
Just as Ning Fengzhi had chosen to fully support the Heaven Dou Empire back then and developed rapidly by relying on the Heaven Dou Empire, Ning Rongrong chose to find a way to rely on the Gu Lei Empire.
This was indeed a good opportunity; otherwise, it would not be so easy for Ning Rongrong to establish a sect in Gu Lei Imperial City and obtain a noble title from the Gu Lei Empire.
"I can agree to this condition. I will send someone to deliver the land deed for the tribal land to you in a moment. However, a noble title is not so easy to come by. In our country, titles must be earned through merit. Even my most trusted strategist, Xun Yu, only received a title after he was sent as an envoy to the Tianshuang Principality in the name of our country, resolved the snow disaster in the Tianshuang Principality, and raised the prestige of our nation," Nan Feihuang said. "Therefore, I cannot grant you a title directly right now, but I can give you a chance to earn one. I just don't know if you have the courage to go to the battlefield."
"The battlefield?" Ning Rongrong was startled. "You intend to start a war? With which side, the Spirit Empire or the Star Luo Empire?"
Nan Feihuang smiled slightly. "Why do you ask which side? My country intends to unify the continent, so naturally, we will fight both sides. This continent will surely be in our hands in the future."
"As expected of the youngest Wushuang Douluo, you truly have great courage. Very well, I agree to exchange military merit for a noble title," Ning Rongrong said firmly.
She was not acting on impulse; this was indeed a good opportunity.
Even if the sect were rebuilt, it would first need to make a name for itself and obtain resources and titles. She did not lack money; what she lacked was status and prestige.
Nan Feihuang was clear in his rewards and punishments; as long as she performed meritorious service in the war, she would not have to worry about not getting what she wanted.
Moreover, because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had always supported Heaven Dou, the two sides had been enemies for many years; resisting Star Luo was considered the old business of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
As for fighting the Spirit Empire, that was exactly what she wanted! (End of chapter)
