Chapter 115: Ning Rongrong Defeats the Shrek Three Monsters
"What's wrong?" Bibi Dong asked.
Bibi Dong knew Ning Rongrong, so Qi Tian thought for a moment and then told Bibi Dong what had happened.
After listening, she said thoughtfully, "I'll go with you!"
Qi Tian was somewhat hesitant, but Bibi Dong said gently, "Don't worry—I won't make things difficult for that little girl."
She was just a young girl. Bibi Dong had already decided to find a way to exhaust Qi Tian's soul power today so he couldn't escape.
Then she would take the opportunity to capture him and see if he dared make excuses again, even refusing to return to Spirit City with her.
When he had teleported over, Bibi Dong had sensed his soul power was greatly depleted.
If she made him use this ability a few more times, her chance would come.
"Alright!" Qi Tian couldn't just leave Bibi Dong here, so he quickly activated the Sea-Stabilising Pearl to teleport.
...
Soto City, restaurant, second-floor lobby.
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were staring at Ning Rongrong at the next table with lewd eyes.
They even made unrestrained comments about her, behaving as if they were visiting a red-light district.
"Brother Dai, didn't I tell you she's beautiful? Look at her skin—it's so fair you could squeeze water out of it," Ma Hongjun said.
"Superficial. If you ask me, what's most attractive is the faint scent of tulips on her body," Dai Mubai said.
He had never been with a woman who carried such a unique fragrance; she was very attractive to him.
"It's her aristocratic air that's most attractive!" Oscar exclaimed longingly.
He came from a commoner background and felt somewhat inferior because of Ning Rongrong's aura.
What was most unpleasant was that he hadn't shaved today; his messy beard made him look like a wild man, and he also had a pair of flirtatious eyes.
This complex image, if placed on Qi Tian's home planet Blue Star, would definitely land him on some must-avoid lists.
"Oscar, her aura is probably just an act—maybe to attract customers. Perhaps we should… hehe…"
Dai Mubai's eyes lit up. He was still traumatised by the beating from Zhu Zhuqing; now that there was a beauty of equal calibre, he wanted a taste of her too.
"Fatty, since you put it that way—why don't you go ask about the price?" Dai Mubai said. "If it works out, I'll treat you to the triplets at our usual spot!"
Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up. "No problem!"
The three didn't keep their voices down; Ning Rongrong heard everything.
If it were the old Ning Rongrong with her spoiled princess temper, she would have already flown into a rage and slammed the table to berate them.
But now Ning Rongrong had learned patience and to play dumb to outsmart others.
"That damned bastard—how could he mistake me for that kind of woman?" Ning Rongrong thought bitterly.
She acted as if nothing had happened, eating her food while tucking a few crystal beads between her fingers.
This was the weapon Qi Tian had given her for self-defence.
During her travels she had found several more crystals using her Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda.
However, she didn't know how to break them open, so she planned to hand them over to Qi Tian next time and ask him to help extract more Dragon Beard Needles to give to the sect.
"Beautiful lady, what's your name? How about I treat you to dinner?"
Ma Hongjun sat down casually beside her. Money gave men courage; with Dai Mubai footing the bill, he was quite confident.
If Dai Mubai weren't around, he would revert to being that impatient, lewd fatty.
"Get out!" Ning Rongrong glared at him.
Ma Hongjun's breath hitched, feeling slighted. He turned and saw Dai Mubai and Oscar looking at him mockingly.
He felt looked down upon; his already inferior self-esteem—due to his flawed spirit and background—flared up.
"Stop pretending! Someone's offering to treat you to dinner and you won't take it? Aren't we all just the same?"
Ma Hongjun judged others by his own standards; he figured he wouldn't refuse if Dai Mubai invited him to dinner or drinks.
On the contrary, Oscar had refused to join them many times, seeing them as hypocrites.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the girl in front of him raise her hand.
They were too close—only a metre apart. At that distance Ma Hongjun couldn't defend against the Dragon Beard Needle at all.
Several Dragon Beard Needles pierced Ma Hongjun's body, but he only felt a mosquito bite and noticed nothing unusual.
Ning Rongrong stood up and walked to the next table in front of Dai Mubai and Oscar.
Dai Mubai and Oscar's eyes lit up; they gave Ma Hongjun a thumbs-up. "Fatty, you're really something!"
Ma Hongjun thought, "Isn't this just 'the mouth says no but the body is honest'? And she's still pretending with me!"
"So you're the ones treating me to dinner? And secretly calling me that kind of woman?" Ning Rongrong asked.
Dai Mubai and Oscar's smiles faltered; they looked somewhat embarrassed. Oscar quickly explained, "Miss, you've misunderstood—I didn't mean that!"
But Ning Rongrong wouldn't listen. She used her Mysterious Heaven Art internal energy to wave her hand and scatter a handful of Dragon Beard Needles.
At such close range and without precautions, they were all struck.
Even with precautions, they couldn't withstand the Dragon Beard Needles designed to break through internal energy.
'This damn sense of familiarity!'
Dai Mubai had a bad feeling.
He had been hit by a Dragon Beard Needle before and had to stay in bed for half a month. Now he felt that sensation again.
Seeing her succeed, Ning Rongrong quickly retreated a great distance, fearing a cornered beast would still fight.
The next moment Dai Mubai felt that familiar pain. "It's that kind of weapon—a sneak attack! You… shameless!"
He quickly used spirit possession to alleviate the pain with soul power.
"Ouch~ It hurts!" Dai Mubai could endure it for a while, but that didn't mean Ma Hongjun and Oscar could.
The two rolled on the ground in pain. Dai Mubai endured the agony and rushed toward Ning Rongrong, trying to grab her.
Both Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing could use this weapon. In his eyes the two might be connected; capturing her would lead to Zhu Zhuqing.
At the same time he regretted behaving so poorly in front of his fiancée's friend.
"Perhaps Zhuqing asked her to test me. I deserve to die for thinking Zhuqing had given up on me!"
Just as Dai Mubai was about to seize Ning Rongrong and the hidden guards were about to act,
A burst of five-coloured light flashed, and two people appeared out of thin air—they were Qi Tian and Bibi Dong.
Qi Tian reached out and caught Dai Mubai's fist, then snapped his arm with a crack, the bone protruding.
The power of a Soul King's body-type spirit was something a level-thirty-something Soul Elder could not withstand.
"Ah~ my hand!" Dai Mubai's arm fell limply. He could no longer bear the pain and collapsed to the ground, trembling.
"Qi Tian, is that you? How are you two together?" Ning Rongrong asked in surprise, looking at Bibi Dong and Qi Tian who had suddenly appeared.
She remembered this youth; she had met him in Sunset Forest more than half a year ago.
