Chapter 121: Meeting The Father-in-law
These past few days, Ling Mo had been living very comfortably at Shrek Academy.
He didn’t even want to leave this wonderful little cabin in the woods!
Through these days of interaction, the three of them got along harmoniously and quite amicably.
Ling Mo had already greeted the other students at Shrek Academy. Except for Tang San, who kept disappearing from time to time, everyone else’s cultivation progress during this period had indeed been quite good.
One early morning, Ling Mo groggily woke up from the Cold Jade Bed, patted Ning Rongrong awake, and then said: “Let’s go. It’s a good time today since we have some free time. We should go meet my father-in-law…”
Today was the day they had agreed to return to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School with Ning Rongrong.
Ling Mo had already prepared the thousand sets of Hidden Weapons that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School had ordered beforehand.
He had originally planned to extort them properly, but thinking about his current relationship with them, he felt a bit embarrassed to make a move.
It had to be said, this Cold Jade Bed was truly comfortable! Lying on it was extremely cold, so they had to hold each other tightly to keep warm.
Relatively speaking, their cultivation speed had greatly improved. In just a few short days, Zhu Zhuqing had nearly broken through to Level 40.
And Ning Rongrong had also reached an astonishing Level 38…
Over this period, Ling Mo had started feeling a bit increasingly listless!
Having two beauties in his arms was such a rare delight in the Mortal World.
But Ling Mo suddenly felt like his body couldn’t keep up. Without the Cold Jade Bed, he wouldn’t even have time to cultivate and recover…
“I’m so sleepy! How about we go back tomorrow instead…”
Ning Rongrong said lazily, in a daze, her spirit not in a great state.
“Come on! Little lazybug…”
With that, Ling Mo pulled her up directly, then activated his Fourth Soul Skill to restore her to her initial state.
To avoid being discovered by his father-in-law, Ling Mo gave his daily Fourth Soul Skill entirely to Ning Rongrong.
“Zhu Qing, rest well. We’ll be back soon…”
Before leaving, Ling Mo didn’t forget to say.
“Mm, go early and come back early…”
Zhu Zhuqing didn’t get up. Ever since Ling Mo brought out this Cold Jade Bed, she didn’t want to leave it.
She stayed in bed cultivating every day, not only progressing quickly in her cultivation but also becoming more and more engrossed in it.
Her chilling aura was growing stronger and stronger. Ling Mo was starting to wonder if continuing like this would ruin her.
“Then we’re off. Rest well…”
After putting on clothes, Ning Rongrong said playfully. Now restored, she seemed even more enchanting.
Holding Ling Mo’s arm, the two left Shrek Academy together.
“When you see my dad later, don’t make him angry…”
Along the way, Ning Rongrong kept reminding him, afraid that Ling Mo would offend her dad, which would be disastrous.
Dad? Oh… what a humble name!
Ling Mo teased: “How could I? No matter who I offend, I wouldn’t offend my father-in-law…”
“Quit your yapping!”
Ning Rongrong teased back, giving Ling Mo’s waist a light Thomas spiral twist.
“Do you think my dad will get angry if he finds out about us?”
Ning Rongrong suddenly said worriedly. Their absurd affairs made even her blush just thinking about them.
If Ning Fengzhi found out, he’d probably be even more devastated.
“It’s fine! Just tell him the truth. He might already know about things between us…”
Last time, Chen Xin had come to see Ling Mo and knew his situation very well.
Ling Mo had already given them a chance to consider before, and… Chen Xin had said that if Ning Rongrong agreed, they wouldn’t stop it.
At that time, after witnessing Ling Mo’s foundation, Chen Xin didn’t dare utter a single word of complaint.
Forming a marriage alliance with such a top sect was hardly a bad thing.
Moreover… this was Ning Rongrong’s willing choice, so they had no reason to stop it.
For a man, having three wives and four concubines was very normal! Especially in this world where strength reigned supreme.
The weak could only become playthings for others; you couldn’t refute that.
Every great family clan had some absurd matters; everyone in the circle knew it.
The two traveled together and soon… arrived at the territory of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School.
In view was a splendid and dazzling grand palace, extremely luxurious!
As soon as Ling Mo entered the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, almost everyone’s gazes swept over.
“Who is this guy? Why is the young miss holding his arm so intimately…”
For a moment, the entire Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School was buzzing with discussion.
At this time… in the grand hall, Bone Douluo, Sword Douluo, plus Chen Xin had been waiting for a while, just waiting for Ling Mo to arrive.
“Uncle Jian, is this the young man you mentioned?”
Ning Fengzhi watched Ning Rongrong holding Ling Mo’s arm so intimately and couldn’t help feeling jealous!
The three watched the pair slowly walking in from outside the hall, and the atmosphere grew tense.
“I don’t see anything special about this kid! I say, Cowardly Man, did you not even dare fight a little brat, so you made up that excuse to fool us?”
Bone Douluo glanced at Ling Mo outside and unreservedly jabbed at Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
Cowardly Man?
The two Titled Douluo of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School bickered daily, and it was always merciless.
“Old Bone, if you’re not convinced, go try it yourself!”
Hearing the term “Cowardly Man,” Sword Douluo immediately got angry. Recalling how he had indeed been scared off by Ghost Lord last time, it felt like a wound in his heart had been poked.
“Tch!”
Bone Douluo smiled. He said it just to tease Chen Xin; there was no other meaning.
“Alright, Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, stop arguing!
We’ve roughly tested the Hidden Weapons that Uncle Jian brought back last time, and their power is immense! Stronger than ordinary Martial Souls.
If we can make this deal with Ghost Gate, it’s not a bad thing! It’s just Rongrong…”
Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Rongrong holding Ling Mo’s arm so intimately, feeling more and more uncomfortable, as if his most beloved little princess had been taken by a pig.
After Chen Xin returned last time, he had explained everything clearly to him, and he knew Ling Mo’s conditions.
If it were purely about a marriage alliance, he would firmly disagree, but… if Rongrong was willing, he really struggled to decide.
“Daddy! Sword Grandpa, Bone Grandpa…”
Ning Rongrong ran straight to the three upon entering the hall, extremely happy.
Ling Mo quietly followed behind, observing carefully for a long time.
He noticed that only these three were in the entire hall!
“My little princess is finally back. Sword Grandpa missed you so much…”
Any contradictions vanished the moment Ning Rongrong appeared.
Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo adored Ning Rongrong greatly, treating her like their own granddaughter.
“Ghost Gate’s Ling Mo greets Sect Master Ning!”
Ling Mo stepped forward and said only that, without bowing.
This time, he represented Ghost Gate and was here for official business first! Naturally, no need to bow.
After all, he was a sect master; how could he bow to others…
Ling Mo’s performance was very satisfactory in Ning Fengzhi’s eyes.
His words and actions were not those of a child.
Facing two Titled Douluo while remaining so calm proved Chen Xin hadn’t lied.
“Sect Leader Ling truly has extraordinary poise and is accomplished at such a young age. Please sit…”
Ning Fengzhi said appreciatively. Hearing this, Ling Mo was delighted!
Huh… looks like pretending to be cool occasionally brings unexpected gains. Successfully left a good impression in front of his father-in-law.
“Sect Master Ning overpraises me!”
With that, Ling Mo walked to a seat nearby and sat down quietly, waiting for them to ask questions.
He wasn’t in a hurry anyway!
Sixth update!
