Ao Tian and the others spent some time strolling through the streets. After buying clothes and daily necessities for the catgirl, Xiao Li, they returned to the Ao Residence.
Ning Fengzhi hurried back to the hotel and went straight to find Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, who were resting.
Seeing Ning Fengzhi burst in so urgently, Chen Xin and Gu Rong were both taken aback.
"It's been many years since I've seen you this anxious," Chen Xin said with a smile. "Did that soul beast show up?"
Gu Rong shook his head. "No. If it were that soul beast, he wouldn't be this flustered. Something more serious must have happened."
"Fair point," Chen Xin replied. "Alright, say it. What happened?"
Ning Fengzhi said anxiously, "Sword Uncle, Bone Uncle—Rongrong is in trouble!"
The expressions of the two elders changed instantly. Almost at the same time, they stood up and grabbed Ning Fengzhi by the shoulders.
"What happened? Speak—now!"
Ning Fengzhi immediately relayed everything the Master had said, along with his own observations of Ao Tian, concluding with his speculation that Ning Rongrong had already been taken advantage of by Ao Tian.
The moment he finished speaking, murderous intent erupted from the two elders. In their fury, the aura of Title Douluo burst forth uncontrollably.
"Courting death!" Chen Xin said coldly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Tea cups, tables, and chairs in the room shattered under the pressure of their unleashed aura.
Unable to withstand the terrifying presence, Ning Fengzhi staggered backward and slammed into the door.
"Sword Uncle, Bone Uncle—our priority now is finding Rongrong," Ning Fengzhi said urgently.
Only then did the two elders restrain their aura.
"Where does that brat live?" Gu Rong asked.
"I followed him on the street, but I lost him," Ning Fengzhi replied.
"When we find him, I'll make sure he wishes he were dead," Gu Rong said grimly.
They had watched Ning Rongrong grow up from infancy, treating her like their own granddaughter. How could they not be furious upon hearing such news?
If Ao Tian were a respectable young talent, that would be one thing—but he was clearly a lustful scoundrel. Someone like that defiling Ning Rongrong deserved only death.
"I've already mobilized disciples across the entire city," Ning Fengzhi said. "We'll begin a full search shortly. Even if we have to turn Heaven Dou City upside down, I'll find him."
With that, he took out brush, ink, and paper and began drawing Ao Tian's portrait.
Before long, the portrait was complete—over ninety percent accurate, vivid and lifelike. Such a strikingly handsome man would be hard to miss.
"Good looks, at least," Chen Xin sneered.
"Someone like that won't be hard to find," Gu Rong said. "Anyone who's seen him will remember."
Cold light flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes. "Activate all resources. Find him—fast."
Ao Tian and the others returned to the Ao Residence.
Walking behind them, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly said, "Ao Tian, since Ning Fengzhi is this worried about Ning Rongrong, he definitely won't let this go. I expect Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect members will start searching the entire city soon."
"Let them search," Ao Tian said with a smile.
Xiao Wu added, "Zhuqing, relax. They won't find this place."
Zhu Zhuqing gave a soft "Oh," though the worry in her eyes remained.
At that moment, Ning Rongrong ran out from inside, shouting excitedly, "You're back!"
Xiao Wu looked at her expression and asked, "Rongrong, what's wrong?"
Ning Rongrong ran up to them, thrilled. "I broke through! I finally reached Level 28!"
Ao Tian nodded. "Good. Then you can go home now."
The excitement vanished instantly from Ning Rongrong's face.
"So the moment I break through, you're kicking me out?" she said unhappily. "You really don't treat me like a friend. And… it's getting late anyway. I'll leave tomorrow—or the day after."
Xiao Wu said seriously, "Rongrong, I really think you should leave now. Your father learned from the Master that you're with us, and he misunderstood Ao Tian as some kind of lecher. He's probably searching everywhere for you right now. You don't want your dad worrying, do you?"
"Really?" Ning Rongrong grew anxious.
"Yes," Ao Tian said with a grin. "If you don't go back soon, your dad might bring a Title Douluo straight here."
Ning Rongrong jumped in fright. "Then I'll go pack and leave immediately!"
She rushed back inside.
She knew all too well how much her father and elders doted on her. They really might storm over in fury.
When Ao Tian and the others returned to the lakeside, Ning Rongrong was already packed and ready to go.
That was the advantage of having a storage soul tool—just throw everything in.
She noticed Xiao Li among them and asked, "Who's this?"
"She's someone Ao Tian bought at the auction house," Zhu Zhuqing explained.
Ning Rongrong nodded knowingly. "My father often rescues girls like this too. Some of them are still staying with the sect. Anyway, I really have to go now."
"Alright, go on," Ao Tian waved.
After taking a few steps, Ning Rongrong stopped, turned back, and asked, "Ao Tian… you'll keep living here, right?"
"Hard to say," Ao Tian replied. "I might head somewhere else someday."
Her cheeks suddenly flushed. "I'll come back to find you. You have to wait for me."
With that, she ran toward the gates.
She needed to leave before her father arrived—only then would Ao Tian be safe.
After her figure disappeared, Xiao Wu mimicked her voice dramatically:
"You have to wait for me~"
She burst into laughter.
Ao Tian smacked her butt without mercy. Smack.
"Looking for trouble."
Xiao Wu yelped, clutching herself, her face burning red.
Gu Yue Na laughed. "That's what you get for teasing him. Careful—he might not be able to hold back and eat you up."
"Eat me if he wants…" Xiao Wu muttered shyly, lowering her head. "I'm… not that little anymore."
Gu Yue Na grabbed her teasingly, making Xiao Wu scream.
"This little girl's in heat," Gu Yue Na joked. "How about coming to my room tonight? Big sister can teach you a few things."
Xiao Wu glanced at Ao Tian and quickly shook her head. "No way!"
Her legs went weak from embarrassment, and she ran straight into her room.
Gu Yue Na smiled and said, "She's grown up—and she's clearly hoping you'll spoil her. What do you think? Want to fulfill her wish?"
Ao Tian shook his head. "No rush."
"Plenty of girls on the Douluo Continent marry at thirteen or fourteen," Gu Yue Na said. "Like flowers in full bloom."
"She hasn't fully bloomed yet," Ao Tian replied. "Enough of that. Zhuqing, take Xiao Li to wash up and get dressed. We'll eat soon."
Zhu Zhuqing, having listened to that entire conversation, felt her cheeks burning red.
Xiao Li, still unclear about their relationships, nonetheless understood the meaning behind the words. Her face flushed as well—such topics were naturally awkward for a sheltered girl like her.
Zhu Zhuqing quickly pulled her new little sister into her room.
Ning Rongrong left the Ao Residence still wearing her veil. Only after she was far away did she remove it.
Not long after, she encountered a patrol of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples.
