Chapter 163 Ning Rongrong's Confession
However, Xiao Yan was still standing at the door of his dormitory. After all, Ning Rongrong was inside absorbing the immortal herbs, and he couldn't just leave her alone. It wouldn't be good if something unexpected happened.
Looking into Xiao Yan's eyes, Xue'er realized that Xiao Yan was waiting for the person inside, and her expression was somewhat complicated and amused.
Xiao Yan glanced at the other party's expression and could only helplessly explain, "Don't overthink it. I promised Sect Leader Ning earlier that I could let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda break through, so Ning Rongrong is currently absorbing immortal herbs in my dormitory under my protection."
"Oh? Is there really a magical herb with such effects? Sect Master Ning has been looking forward to the breakthrough of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda for half his life. Now that he has this opportunity, he actually handed it over to his daughter?" Xue'er's expression was also somewhat surprised.
"Yes. I originally thought this breakthrough would be his lifelong obsession, but I didn't expect Sect Master Ning to let it go on his own."
"But Xiao Yan, couldn't you just give her the immortal herb and let her absorb it herself back in her dorm?" Xue'er's question was good and not sharp, but from Xiao Yan's perspective, there was absolutely no need to do so.
But Xiao Yan's real intention was simply to witness the birth of the so-called Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda as soon as possible; he didn't think much about it at the time.
Furthermore, since Ning Rongrong neither raised any objections nor resisted, things naturally developed into the current situation.
Xiao Yan simply stopped responding, mainly because he didn't know how to answer the woman's question. He went straight to his storage container and took out a large stack of thick books.
"Here, let's watch it together."
"What is it?" Xue'er frowned, looking at the title of the thick book at the top, "Star Calendar".
"When we go to the Starfall Empire, we can ask around about its customs, traditions, aristocratic relationships, royal stories, and anecdotes. It's better to be prepared," Xiao Yan explained with a smile, not caring at all about revealing his ignorance.
"You really didn't know?!" Xue'er looked surprised. She had thought that Xiao Yan, who called himself Master Yanxiao, was just being polite when he said he wasn't familiar with Xingluo. She didn't expect it to be true.
"Xiao Yan————" A weak voice came from Xiao Yan's dormitory. It was clear that Ning Rongrong had finished absorbing the immortal herb, but by this time, an entire morning had passed.
Xiao Yan remembered that neither he nor Xiao San could absorb the energy for more than an hour at most, perhaps because their physical condition was too good.
Ning Rongrong's blush had not yet faded. Amidst the light mist, she peeked out, revealing only her head to everyone. Her beautiful hair was somewhat damp, clearly not yet dried.
"Um?"
Upon hearing the sound, the two people and one beast who were flipping through the books all looked up. (Agumon was simply looking at the pictures.)
Seeing the faint dampness on the girl's flushed face, a unique trait that comes from a hot bath, Xue'er immediately looked at Xiao Yan, as if to ask: Is this what is meant by taking the immortal herb?
"Cough cough." Xiao Yan was a little embarrassed, but coughing didn't help much.
"Can I come in for a moment?" Ning Rongrong's voice was a little shy and hesitant.
Xiao Yan unconsciously glanced at Xue'er beside him.
"Why are you looking at me? This is your business." Her tone certainly didn't suggest that this was Xiao Yan's business.
"Alright." Xiao Yan straightened his legs, which were crossed, and made a crease on the page of the book as a mark that he had read this far.
He then got up and went into his dormitory.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh. The last time he returned to his dormitory, it didn't feel like returning to his own dormitory, when Xue Qinghe came. This time, he was even more reserved, as if he were entering Ning Rongrong's boudoir.
As Xiao Yan entered, the dormitory door closed immediately. Xue'er lowered her head and continued reading the book in her hands without saying a word. She didn't even pay attention to the rolling beast leaning against her.
"What's wrong, Rongrong—put your clothes on first!"
As soon as Xiao Yan entered his dormitory, a fragrant aroma wafted over him. In addition to a unique damp smell, there was a fresh scent similar to that of a bath, mixed with the body fragrance of a young girl.
It was obvious that Ning Rongrong had specially cleaned his dormitory.
Ning Rongrong, who had invited him in, was only wrapped in a bath towel. Although she was a fourteen-year-old girl, she was quite well-developed. However, Xiao Yan was a bit slow to notice. He first noticed that the furnishings in his dormitory had been moved because of cleaning.
Then I noticed Ning Rongrong's clothes —
"Oh!" Realizing her lapse in composure, Ning Rongrong immediately blushed, pulled down her bath towel, and hurriedly took out a change of clothes from the storage compartment on the side.
Xiao Yan, in a very gentlemanly manner, turned his head to one side.
After absorbing the immortal herb, Ning Rongrong felt a significant increase in her soul power, seemingly having broken through to level 40, which made her very happy.
So he wasn't bothered by the filth left behind. After cleaning it up with great joy, he took a shower in Xiao Yan's bathroom.
Only after she came out of the bathroom did she come back to her senses from the joy of her breakthrough. She realized that her purpose in absorbing the immortal herbs was not to break through, but for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
When she held the pagoda in her hand, its nine stories standing in a staggered arrangement, Ning Rongrong was filled with joy and awe. This was why she didn't think about anything else and immediately went to find Xiao Yan.
"That's enough—" Ning Rongrong said softly.
Xiao Yan slowly turned around, first looking at the other person's feet, and only after confirming that the other person was dressed did he turn around completely.
Ning Rongrong remained silent, raising her right hand to show Xiao Yan the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda in her hand.
"Looks like it's done! That's great." Xiao Yan was even happier than the person in question when he saw what the other person was holding.
After all, the effectiveness of the herb is based on theory; it's only when it actually works that we can be truly happy.
"Hmm————" Ning Rongrong lowered her head, seemingly hesitating about something.
"What's wrong, Rongrong? You seem a little unhappy. This is something your father has wanted to achieve his whole life." Xiao Yan was absolutely telling the truth. If it weren't for Ning Fengzhi's inner conflict, he wouldn't have spent a whole night agonizing over it before giving this potential breakthrough opportunity to his daughter.
"No—I'm very happy, but I originally thought your so-called breakthrough meant that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's spirit masters could have the ability to break through to the Spirit Saint level. But I didn't expect that you would directly transform my spirit into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda—"
One tower grants one soul ring, nine towers grant a title.
This sentiment made Ning Rongrong realize that the prices Xiao Yan had offered were simply not commensurate with her feelings.
She hesitated for a long time. With the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, she would inevitably become the future sect leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda. She could make some decisions for the sect to thank Xiao Yan.
Ning Rongrong raised her head, her eyes filled with determination and unwavering resolve. She looked at Xiao Yan and said earnestly, "Xiao Yan, why don't you marry me?"
