"I refuse."
Assisting you in fighting the God Realm—are you not awake, or am I not awake?
Without any hesitation, Ning Rongrong immediately rejected Bi Ji's proposed promise.
What a joke—who with a brain would agree!
What kind of hand are you starting with, and what kind is the God Realm starting with?
The Silver Dragon King struggling to survive, plus a bunch of soul beasts that seem pretty strong in the human world, going against the five great God Kings, over a hundred first, second, and third-tier gods, plus an unknown number of divine officials.
Like this, and you still want to drag me into the water?
To be cannon fodder?
She herself is already in opposition with the Asura God, and the Dark Devilgod Tiger's Evil God Pearl has quite a few memories.
Perhaps she and Kurumi are naturally beautiful and could gain the favor of the Evil God, but essentially, the danger isn't that great.
If she joins you all, forget about the Evil God King's help—not coming to beat her would already be the gods and Buddhas blessing her.
"Rejected so directly?" Bi Ji's voice held some astonishment.
"I am the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; it's not just myself—I also need to consider the sect."
"It's impossible to stake the entire sect on a gamble for your soul beast race and the Martial Soul Hall's almost hopeless future. What's the difference from suicide?"
"Am I wrong, Qian Renxue, the reincarnation of the Angel God?"
Ning Rongrong looked toward the hidden spot in the bushes.
Not long after her words fell, the space beside the bushes changed.
A golden-haired woman with phoenix eyes walked out, and beside her was a woman in luxurious attire—the two were precisely Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong.
"I am me, the Angel God is the Angel God." Qian Renxue said calmly, "Ning Rongrong, we are not without hope."
"Hehe, Qian Renxue, we're not children anymore. Even if we were children, I tricked you round and round back then."
Ning Rongrong's words made Qian Renxue's brow twitch.
However, the well-cultured Qian Renxue didn't break down directly.
"Your hope—is it referring to the fallen power you're grasping, or the faith on Bibi Dong that's close to nature and beasts?"
"Why do you know?" Bibi Dong's expression changed slightly, killing intent almost spreading over.
"Don't show such malice toward me."
Ning Rongrong's brown-black eyes changed, two iconic clocks turning into pupils.
In an instant, it canceled out the killing intent Bibi Dong emitted.
"As I said before, I'm not interested in your goals or anything."
"I only hope that it doesn't affect the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Do you really think you can stay out of it?" A trace of doubt appeared on Qian Renxue's face. "You killed Hypnos; you're already in irreconcilable enmity with the Asura God."
The Asura God might not value a mere second-tier killing god, but this was slapping the Asura God in the face publicly. Even if not caring, he would come to settle scores; otherwise, what dignity would he have in front of the other God Kings and subordinates?
"Qian Renxue, I still understand the weight of one God King versus five God Kings."
"Moreover, Hypnos seems to have been killed by Your Excellency Gu Yuena. Even if you pin it on me, I'm at most an accomplice."
"Besides..." The clocks in Ning Rongrong's eyes disappeared as she chuckled lightly, "You can't grasp me; I have backing too!"
"Behind me is also a God King—one who's quite at odds with the Asura God, the Evil God King. Do you think I need to join you in the same boat?"
"The Evil one among the five great God Kings!" Qian Renxue's pupils contracted.
"Ah, that's right." Ning Rongrong spread her hands. "Helping you all means dealing with five God Kings. If not helping, it's probably just the Asura God. I can still tell which is lighter and heavier."
"If you say all this, aren't you afraid of not being able to leave the Star Dou Great Forest?"
A fierce glint in Bibi Dong's eyes.
"You can't do it. Not to mention you mother and daughter, even adding Qian Daoliu, you still can't keep me."
"Hypnos's corpse is still with me."
"Since the Silver Dragon King told you that she and I joined forces to kill Hypnos back then."
"Didn't she tell you?"
"As long as I want, second-tier gods can also be killed, let alone you all now?"
Silence—Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong fell silent.
Yes, the Silver Dragon King had said it, very clearly—even without her as the main force, Ning Rongrong likely had the ability to kill Hypnos alone.
That was several years ago; now Ning Rongrong's strength was even greater.
"It's not something that can be done without any cost, right?" Qian Renxue had investigated Ning Rongrong in detail; Ning Rongrong often went into seclusion, sometimes for years if not careful.
"Perhaps it is, perhaps not." Ning Rongrong laughed. "Do you dare to bet?"
"I won't reveal your matters; I also don't want a certain dragon to go crazy and come looking for trouble."
"Getting something for nothing—doesn't the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's appetite look too ugly?" Even Bibi Dong felt Ning Rongrong was so shameless—wanting both ways without paying anything.
"No way around it." A curve appeared at the corner of Ning Rongrong's mouth. "For the safety of everyone up and down the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, we haven't revealed outward things that would affect ourselves, to avoid certain people being scrupulous."
"This way, even if you fail, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can still explain it."
"At most, it's knowing but not reporting for our own safety."
"If we become your thugs, that would be lighting a lamp in the toilet."
"Alright." Ning Rongrong spread her hands.
"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect won't participate in the Dragon Valley matter, to avoid someone saying I'm shameless again."
"Kurumi, hiding to the side watching the show for so long—time to come out."
"Eh eh eh, still discovered?"
An abrupt voice sounded, and the barrier slowly revealed itself.
Compared to the playful Tokisaki Kurumi, Bone Douluo beside her had a serious expression.
"Sorry, Bone Grandpa, the Dragon Valley side probably..."
"Rongrong decides; it's fine."
The goal was to enter Dragon Valley, but now the situation clearly had too big a problem.
Bone Douluo had the desire to break through to Limit Douluo, but staking the lives of thousands in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as a bet—Bone Douluo felt he couldn't do it.
Ning Rongrong had also said it was just one God King—that was okay.
If five God Kings, then they'd have to wash their necks and wait. Not revealing it to avoid becoming the outlet for both sides was already a good outcome.
In the end, Ning Rongrong didn't choose to break through in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Being a person, one should still have some face.
For the second realm of utmost perfection, the Extreme of Heart, the main things were soul and mentality; Spirit Gold wasn't very suitable anyway, not to mention the Silver Dragon King's calculations were blatant.
"They're gone." The Ten Thousand Demon King walked to Bi Ji's side. As the one who could control a quarter of the Star Dou Great Forest's Demon Eye Demon Tree, plus Ning Rongrong not concealing her figure, he quickly detected the three's positions.
The three had left the Star Dou Great Forest together.
"Bi Ji, the Lord's plan..."
"There was never any plan; the Lord never thought the pulling in would succeed."
"Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong were exposed."
"No problem." Bi Ji said, "She won't say it outward; they're not clean either, just not as dirty as us."
"Unless it's a last resort, Ning Rongrong won't want to alert the Evil God King now."
"As long as we know the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's stance and purpose."
"That's enough."
