Chapter 297 Ye Qinghe Arrives
Before he could even rejoice, Prince Xuexing's next words put the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in a very difficult position: "My Heaven Dou Empire is willing to cede ten border cities to the Spirit Hall. Furthermore, Sect Master Ning, shouldn't your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also offer something in return?"
At this point, Prince Xuexing glared at Ning Fengzhi with hatred. If the Heavenly Dou Royal Family was not having an easy time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would certainly not have an easy time either.
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath and said, "My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is willing to offer one billion gold soul coins to resolve the grudge between Elder Tang Hao of my school and the Spirit Hall."
"Of course, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School cannot come up with 1 billion gold soul coins all at once, so we plan to pay 200 million first, and pay off the remaining 800 million in installments over 30 years. Of course, we will not let the Spirit Hall suffer a loss, and we will pay a portion of the interest."
His idea was simple: to retreat in order to advance, and to use the compensation to secure thirty years of development for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
By then, Tang San and the eleven other children of the gods will have grown up. And new children of the gods will be born one after another.
That day will be the day when his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can wipe away its shame.
Perhaps they could even unify the continent, conquer a vast territory, and establish a colossal empire unprecedented in history.
After hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, the entire audience gasped.
Ning Fengzhi, or rather the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, is truly extravagant. It was one thing to pay 400 million gold soul coins for this dwarf son-in-law (200 million to compensate the Spirit Hall, and 200 million to compensate Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo), but now, for Tang Hao, who once brought annihilation to the Clear Sky Sect and then cowered in the face of his family's crisis, they are paying another 1 billion gold soul coins. They really don't treat gold soul coins as money.
At the same time, Sword Douluo and other high-ranking members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also frowned. In recent years, he had been dissatisfied with Ning Fengzhi's various actions, and now he was going to pay 1 billion gold soul coins for Tang Hao.
The previous four hundred million gold soul coins had already crippled the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Adding another one billion gold soul coins would be too much for the sect to withstand.
Could it be that this spendthrift is going to squander the entire fortune of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?
In contrast, Rongrong awakened the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and advanced to Soul Emperor at the age of nineteen. In the past five years, she has always thought of the sect. Compared with Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader, is far inferior.
Thinking of this, Sword Douluo and the others became even more dissatisfied with Ning Fengzhi.
Especially those high-ranking members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School besides Sword Douluo—they are the only ones who don't know Sword Douluo's thoughts right now, and with the Spirit Hall watching them like a hawk, otherwise they would have already dismissed this sect leader.
"Claiming ten cities and paying ten billion gold soul coins is interesting, but it's still a bit too little. Tang Hao committed heinous crimes back then, how can ten billion be enough? We need to add more money," Ling Yuan said.
Ning Fengzhi was unaware of Sword Douluo and the others' thoughts, and was still basking in the glory of his successful plan.
Seeing that Ling Yuan wanted to add more money, he agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I'll add another two hundred million."
This action made the expressions of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's high-ranking members even more unpleasant.
Tang Hao and Tang San also looked rather grim. How could Ning Fengzhi take their money to compensate the Spirit Hall? He was already courting death.
Moments later, the wedding began.
The guests stared at Tang San, the groom who was only 1.3 meters tall and looked no different from a seven or eight-year-old child, standing in the center of the hall. He looked utterly ridiculous.
A long red carpet stretched from the center of the main hall to the square outside.
As a burst of pleasant, festive music filled the air, Ning Rongrong, dressed in a wedding gown and holding a round fan, gracefully entered, surrounded by a group of maids.
The exquisite and gorgeous form-fitting long dress stretched from head to toe, and her hair was styled in a phoenix-like updo, adding to her noble air.
Five years have passed, and Ning Rongrong has grown up. Her beauty is no longer the gentle and graceful beauty of the original work. She exudes a special noble temperament, and has gained a heroic spirit and invisible majesty. She looks like a beautiful female warrior who is about to get married.
Her soul power had already surpassed Tang San's, reaching level 66, which was five levels higher than in the original story.
It is easy to imagine how much effort she put in during those five years.
Of course, it must be inseparable from the miraculous herbs and the opening of the eight extraordinary meridians.
Seeing the beautiful and noble Ning Rongrong, Tang San couldn't help but smile. All the frustration of being forced into a marriage alliance vanished, and he thought to himself, "Now that Xiao Wu has been killed, marrying Ning Rongrong doesn't seem so bad."
Tang Hao also smiled. He reached into his storage soul tool and took out a box, handing it to Tang San. "Little San, this is the betrothal gift your father has prepared for you. Go and give it to Rongrong."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Tang San walked with a smile to a table in the center of the hall, which was covered with flowers, fruits, and wine.
Ning Rongrong also walked over at this moment, took the box and opened it. Inside lay a soul bone, a skull of wisdom over 50,000 years old.
In recent years, in order to obtain soul bones for Tang San and those other children of the gods, Tang Hao would go out and hunt soul beasts over 50,000 years old every year for two months after giving birth.
This piece of soul bone is the extra one.
As for Tang San, Tang Hao had already helped him replenish all his soul bones before he even entered the City of Slaughter.
Otherwise, without the immortal herb, even after absorbing the fourth ring of his first martial soul for a hundred years, he still couldn't awaken it into the Blue Silver Emperor. Without switching to cultivating his second martial soul, he wouldn't have been able to reach his current level of sixty-two.
Ning Rongrong looked at the soul bone in front of her, but did not show the slightest joy. She simply accepted the soul bone indifferently and put it into the storage soul tool she carried with her.
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Alright, drink this cup of wine, and you will be a real couple."
Tang San happily raised his hand and held up a cup of fine wine served in a jade vessel, looking up at Ning Rongrong with a smile on his face.
However, as time passed, Ning Rongrong still did not raise her glass.
This instantly turned Tang San's joyful expression into one of extreme gloom. He ordered, "Rongrong, quickly pick up your wine cup."
Ning Rongrong ignored her.
"Rongrong, quickly pick up your wine glass." Tang San raised his voice.
Ning Rongrong ignored her and simply turned her head to look outside the main hall.
Tang San was now completely embarrassed, and Tang Hao's face darkened as well. Ning Fengzhi quickly advised, "Rongrong, listen to me and quickly drink the nuptial wine."
As soon as the words were spoken, a loud sonic boom resounded outside the Seven Treasures Hall. Everyone looked up, and apart from Ling Yuan, Dugu Bo, and Liu Erlong, everyone else showed expressions of shock.
Because in their perception, a soul power fluctuation unique to the Title Douluo level was rapidly surging towards them at an incredible speed.
Ling Yuan, Dugu Bo, and Liu Erlong smiled; the show was finally about to begin.
