"Sect Master Ning, seniors!" Ye Qiu quickly stood up and bowed.
Little Blue followed suit.
"Haha… this little girl is still as amusing as ever!"
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Ning Rongrong nodded in deep agreement. She was itching to try it herself!
"Ye Qiu, thank you for saving me. Otherwise, I would have lost my beloved daughter. How about coming to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to recuperate for a while?" Ning Fengzhi said warmly.
"Yes, yes! Little sister… I really have lots of delicious food at home!" Ning Rongrong chimed in from the side, her dirty little face wearing an eager and tempting expression that looked completely out of place.
Behind them, Ning Tian felt a pang of grief.
Dad! You almost lost your beloved son! Waaah… Your son has no rights!
Ye Qiu readily agreed.
"Sect Leader Ning, you flatter me. I originally planned to bring Xiao Lan to visit you, but we just happened to run into them."
"Oh? What a coincidence! In that case, let's set off immediately!"
Seeing Ye Qiu nod, Ning Fengzhi gestured toward Bone Douluo.
Bone Douluo nodded, pointed a finger into the void, and ripples spread outward from the center, forming a dark spatial hole.
Witnessing this scene, Ye Qiu couldn't help but compare it with his own Divine Might. He could only conclude that Bone Douluo's spatial abilities were still somewhat limited and not commonly used in battle.
Are soul skills in the Douluo Continent also a restriction on the development of a soul master's martial soul? he thought, feeling slightly sentimental.
"Brother! Look—" Xiao Lan was about to speak when Ye Qiu stopped her with a glance.
Unfortunately, Bone Douluo had already noticed.
"Kid! You're quite vigilant, aren't you? It seems my earlier perception was correct—your martial soul also has spatial attributes!"
"Oh?" Ning Fengzhi and the others looked at Ye Qiu in surprise.
"Hehe… lucky, lucky!" Ye Qiu scratched his head awkwardly and glared at Xiao Lan.
"Ah~" she replied, sticking out her tongue playfully.
"Uncle Bone, let's go!"
"Alright."
Without saying anything more, Ning Fengzhi had already formed the intention of winning Ye Qiu over. Seeing his daughter staring intently at Ye Qiu, his mind began working rapidly.
The group stepped into the black hole.
The scenery before them changed instantly. Ye Qiu felt dizzy for a moment as his senses lagged behind.
Sunlight scattered everywhere, reflecting dazzling brilliance.
"Wow! Brother~ This place is so beautiful!" Little Blue jumped around excitedly, her eyes sparkling as she took everything in.
"Of course! Little one~ let your big sister give you a hug!" Ning Rongrong said cheerfully, her mood having improved considerably after being comforted earlier.
"I don't want to! You're dirty and smelly!" Xiao Lan dodged her, pinching her nose in disgust and fanning the air with her hand.
"Huh!? You—you're talking nonsense!" Ning Rongrong froze, then sniffed herself awkwardly.
After rolling on the ground, her clothes were stained with both human and wolf blood—the smell was indeed indescribable.
Noticing Ye Qiu's gaze, she became even more embarrassed. Her face flushed red as she angrily chased after Xiao Lan.
"Ah! Little girl! Stop right there!"
Watching Xiao Lan frolic among the flowers, Ye Qiu smiled helplessly and looked around.
It truly was magnificent.
Most of the sect's buildings were tower-shaped. The central tower was modeled directly after the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, dominated by green hues, giving off a strong sense of harmony between support-type soul masters and nature.
Traditional Chinese hexagonal eaves were incorporated into the design, while the towering spire reached straight into the sky, symbolizing the sect's unshakable authority on the Douluo Continent.
Exotic flowers and rare medicinal herbs filled the surroundings, fully displaying the sect's wealth and deep heritage.
"Ye Qiu, I've already arranged accommodations for you. Please go freshen up first. I'll prepare a banquet later to properly welcome you," Ning Fengzhi said.
"Thank you for your trouble, Sect Leader Ning."
"It's nothing. You are Rongrong's saviors."
After a bit more bickering, Ye Qiu pulled Xiao Lan away—her cheeks red from being pinched by Ning Rongrong.

Holding Xiao Lan's hand, Ye Qiu followed the attendants arranged by Ning Fengzhi.
"Brother~ Little Blue's face hurts!"
"You deserve it! Who told you to be so greedy?"
Ignoring her complaints, Ye Qiu had clearly seen how Ning Rongrong caught her earlier.
After arriving at the residence, Ye Qiu told Xiao Lan to go play while he took a thorough shower.
When he came out, Xiao Lan was already in the garden, attracting bees and butterflies, teasing the flowers and plants, and enjoying herself immensely.
...
When mealtime arrived, someone came to guide them.
The hall was resplendent with gold and jade. The walls and ceiling were adorned with dazzling glass decorations.
At the center stood an enormous table filled with all kinds of delicacies.
Drinks and juices, creatures from the sea, land, and sky—everything was present. The same ingredient was prepared in multiple ways, offering as many as nine variations of a single dish.
Looking at the long table, Ye Qiu's lips twitched. It was far too extravagant—over a hundred dishes. Even with long arms, he wouldn't be able to reach them all!
"Wow! So much delicious food!" Little Blue's eyes lit up as she broke free from Ye Qiu's hand and ran over.
"How about it? This is a banquet I specially asked Dad to prepare!" Ning Rongrong said proudly. She pulled Xiao Lan to sit beside her, though her eyes kept glancing toward Ye Qiu.
Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, and Ning Tian also took their seats.
Ye Qiu sat beside Xiao Lan and held her restless hands.
Standing nearby, Ning Rongrong's eyes held a trace of inexplicable joy.
"Brother Ye Qiu, thank you for saving my life!" Ning Tian stood and bowed deeply.
"There's no need," Ye Qiu waved his hands. "You've already thanked me many times."
Compared to Ning Tian, Ning Rongrong was much more restrained.
After cleaning herself up, she looked exceptionally beautiful. Her long brown hair fell freely, and she wore a green dress that highlighted her gentle, noble temperament. Her fair cheeks were lightly flushed.
She bent down toward Ye Qiu, but he quickly stopped her.
"Miss Ning, there's really no need!"
"Haha… Ye Qiu, don't feel uncomfortable. Gratitude must be shown. Once Gu Luo and Chen Feng recover, I'll have them come personally to thank you as well," Ning Fengzhi said.
"No need, Sect Leader Ning. This table alone is already more than generous," Ye Qiu replied honestly, feeling uneasy with such hospitality.
"Brother~ Can you let go of Xiao Lan's hands? When can we start eating?" Xiao Lan asked impatiently, staring at the food with drooling anticipation.
Ning Rongrong covered her mouth and laughed.
"Haha~ The young lady can't wait any longer. Let the feast begin!"
Ning Fengzhi laughed heartily and clapped twice.
Several maids stepped forward and placed tableware before everyone.
The moment Ye Qiu released her hands, Xiao Lan couldn't hold back anymore.
"Ahhh~ Ahhh~"
Without even using utensils, her little mouth was quickly stuffed full.
Ye Qiu sighed helplessly and let her be, chatting with Ning Fengzhi and the others as he ate.
During the meal, Ye Qiu didn't see Ning Fengzhi's other sons—most likely busy managing the sect's vast affairs.
...
"Little one, try this! And this! They're all delicious!" Ning Rongrong kept piling food onto Xiao Lan's plate.
The maids continuously brought over dishes from afar and replaced empty plates.
While her cheeks were being pinched, Xiao Lan ate greedily, her mouth full and cheeks puffed out.
Somewhat dissatisfied, she said, "You… um… gulp!"
After swallowing, she pouted. "You're the little one! You were crying earlier!"
"You—what nonsense are you talking about!?" Ning Rongrong blushed furiously, gritted her teeth, and shot an embarrassed glare at the surrounding maids.
"Alright then..." Ye Qiu subtly pulled her hand away and sat down.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong sat back down, took the jar back from Ye Qiu, and filled a cup for
both of them.
Holding the cup in his hand, Ye Qiu was still a little uneasy. As the cup reached his lips, his eyes
involuntarily turned to her.
Noticing his gaze, Ning Rongrong curled her lip. "Hmph! What a coward!"
