Chapter 246: The Cat Girl’s Future, First Meeting with Ning Fengzhi and the Sword Douluo
Chapter 246: The Cat Girl’s Future, First Meeting with Ning Fengzhi and the Sword Douluo
Ning Fengzhi’s public announcement of the cat girl’s freedom instantly changed the tone of the discussions below the stage.
Previous lewd speculations were all replaced by admiration and praise.
"My god, School Master Ning is too kind-hearted!"
"180,000 gold coins just to save a girl he doesn’t even know?"
"As expected of the Sect Master of one of the Upper Three Sects. This breadth of mind is truly beyond our comparison!"
"If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to part with it. 180,000 gold coins can buy so many good things. School Master Ning truly has a chivalrous heart!"
On the display stage, the cat girl stood frozen in place.
It took a full ten-plus seconds for her to finally react.
She looked at the identification papers and gold card in her hands, and her tears instantly burst forth.
Large drops fell down, hitting the ground.
She fell to her knees with a thud.
She kowtowed heavily three times toward the VIP booth where Ning Fengzhi was located.
Her forehead struck the hard display stage, making a dull sound, and it quickly turned red.
"Thank you, School Master Ning! Thank you, School Master Ning!"
Her voice was choked with emotion, repeating it over and over.
"I will never forget your great kindness in this lifetime!"
After finishing the kowtows, she climbed up from the ground.
Gripping the identification papers and gold card tightly, she stumbled down from the stage and ran out of the auction house.
"Clap clap clap..."
The applause from below the stage echoed throughout the venue.
It was more enthusiastic than any previous time.
In their seats, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were both a bit dazed by the sudden reversal.
Xiao Wu opened her mouth, looking at the empty stage and then at the VIP booth on the second floor.
Her Face was full of guilt and embarrassment as she scratched her head and muttered softly.
"It seems I misjudged him..."
Zhu Zhuqing’s furrowed brows also relaxed.
She finally understood why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could become one of the Upper Three Sects and why Ning Fengzhi could be respected by so many people.
Perhaps this behavior might just be for show to further consolidate his reputation.
But, he did indeed do it.
"Phew... that’s good, that’s good."
Ning Rongrong breathed a long sigh of relief, patted her chest, and her hanging heart finally settled.
Her Face was still red as she muttered awkwardly and softly.
"That really scared me to death. Luckily, Dad isn’t that kind of pervert, otherwise I wouldn’t know how to Face you guys."
"I’ll definitely have to give him a piece of my mind later. He didn’t even say anything beforehand, making me almost misunderstand him."
Xiao Wu nodded: "Rongrong, I apologize to you. I misunderstood your father. Your father is a good person."
"Hehe, of course. Just look at whose father he is."
Ning Rongrong raised her chin proudly, her Face full of shared honor and joy.
The previous embarrassment and anger had long since vanished.
Only Lin Qingmo remained leaning against the back of his chair, his expression calm as if he had expected this scene all along.
He naturally knew Ning Fengzhi would do this.
In the original work, Ning Fengzhi also released the cat girl.
However, the biggest difference was that in the original work, Ning Fengzhi released her privately after buying her.
But now, he was officially granting the cat girl her freedom in front of a crowd of nobles.
Xiao Wu then whispered to Lin Qingmo: "A-Qing, do you think that cat girl, a young girl, will be in danger?"
Lin Qingmo smiled and shook his head: "No."
"Eh? Why?"
"Because School Master Ning announced her freedom in front of everyone."
In the original work, where she was released privately, no one knew if she would be captured again in the future.
But here, what Ning Fengzhi did was equivalent to giving the cat girl a security guarantee within Heaven Dou City.
In Heaven Dou City, even Emperor Xue Ye has to give Ning Fengzhi some Face.
As long as she is in Heaven Dou City, presumably no noble or royalty would dare to defy his Face.
"Haha, this little brother is right."
A gentle laugh came from behind the four of them.
The four of them turned their heads at the same time.
They saw Ning Fengzhi walking over slowly, with Chen Xin following behind him.
Neither of them wore masks, and their auras were restrained, yet they still carried an undeniable presence.
Ning Fengzhi wore a moon-white robe, refined as jade, with a gentle smile on his Face.
He happened to pick up on what Xiao Wu had just said.
"Rest assured, little girl. In this Heaven Dou City, no one dares to touch someone I, Ning Fengzhi, have set free."
"I have already arranged for someone to help her truly settle down in Heaven Dou City."
"!!!"
Xiao Wu was startled and reflexively shrank behind Lin Qingmo.
She looked warily at this refined and elegant man before her.
After all, she had just been cursing him behind his back as a perverted scumbag.
Now that the person himself was standing in front of her, it was more or less quite awkward.
Lin Qingmo signaled her not to panic.
Ning Rongrong walked to Ning Fengzhi’s side, hugged his arm and shook it, acting coquettishly:
"Dad, Grandpa Sword, why did you come down? The auction isn’t over yet."
Ning Fengzhi rubbed her head helplessly but dotingly, flicking her nose with his fingertip.
"You girl, you returned to Heaven Dou City and didn’t even tell your father. You even dared to sneak out to attend an auction? You’re getting bolder and bolder."
His tone carried reproach, but there was no trace of anger.
"If I hadn’t happened to run into you here, how long were you planning to keep it from me?"
"Oh Dad, there’s been so much going on lately, I forgot to tell you"
Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue and continued to act cute while hugging his arm, trying to gloss it over.
"I dropped out of Shrek and have now joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I’m also a member of the Royal Fighting Team."
"We’ve been training lately to prepare for the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament. I was thinking of visiting you once we were done!"
As she spoke, she proudly puffed out her chest, looking like she was saying "praise me quickly."
"You girl..."
Ning Fengzhi laughed and shook his head, no longer blaming her.
He naturally knew Rongrong had gone to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Bone Douluo had already brought back all the intelligence.
Following Rongrong’s lead, his gaze fell on Lin Qingmo and the others again.
"Rongrong, aren’t you going to introduce your good friends to your father?"
"Oh, oh! Of course!"
Ning Rongrong immediately pulled Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing over, introducing them with a smile.
"Dad, this is Xiao Wu, and this is Zhu Zhuqing. They’re my best sisters!"
"We train together and live together. They take great care of me!"
"Xiao Wu is an attack systemBattle Soul Venerable, and Zhuqing is an agility-attack systemSpirit Master. They’re both super amazing!"
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing immediately stepped forward and bowed to Ning Fengzhi.
"Greetings, School Master Ning."
"No need for such formalities, you two good children."
Ning Fengzhi waved his hand with a smile, his tone gentle.
He especially took an extra look at Xiao Wu.
She looked to be about the same age as Rongrong but was already a Spirit Elder—a Genius.
"Thank you for taking care of Rongrong during this time. This girl has a willful personality and must have caused you a lot of trouble."
"No, no, Rongrong is very good. We all like her very much."
Xiao Wu hurriedly waved her hands, her Face turning red, still a bit embarrassed.
After all, she had just been cursing Ning Fengzhi behind his back, so she was still very stiff in front of him.
Ning Rongrong then pointed to Lin Qingmo, her Face full of pride and admiration, her voice brightening a few notches.
"Dad, this is Brother Qingmo, Lin Qingmo. He’s also the captain of our Royal Fighting Team. We all came over from Shrek together!"
