Chapter 214: The Star Luo Royal Family
The middle-aged man glanced disdainfully at the two young girls in front of him. In his eyes, the Heaven Dou Empire was nothing to fear, and he certainly wouldn't take two half-grown girls seriously.
"I am Dai Tianxing, the sixth elder of the Star Luo Royal Family."
"What? Is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect planning to interfere with the affairs of Star Luo?" Dai Tianxing's gaze made Ning Rongrong feel a strong sense of indignation. As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, when had she ever been treated this way?
"I will interfere! What will you do about it? This is the Heaven Dou Empire, and with a stamp of my foot, I can make you disappear!"
"You..."
Dai Tianxing's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting this young girl to be so audacious in his presence.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at her little sister with appreciation and stepped forward to stand in front of her.
"You go. I will not return with you."
The words of the little cat made Dai Tianxing puff up his cheeks, veins bulging on his forehead.
"Do you even know what you're saying? Do you really think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can protect you? Stop joking around. As long as His Majesty Ning Fengzhi exerts even a little pressure, he will definitely not protect you."
"Do you understand what your fate will be?"
Before Zhu Zhuqing could respond, Ning Rongrong, now furious, pulled her little sister behind her again.
"Hey, you old fool! What's so great about the Star Luo Royal Family? Do you believe I can have my brother chop you down!"
Ning Rongrong's repeated provocations finally made Dai Tianxing, who had spent years in a high position, lose his composure. He turned his head to look at Ning Bei.
"You are this wild girl's brother? I will have Ning Fengzhi personally teach you a lesson on how to respect your elders."
The small group of companions all exchanged strange glances, having never seen anyone so determined to seek their own doom.
Dugu Yan tugged at Ning Bei's sleeve and whispered:
"Take it easy, don't make it too bloody, it would be disgusting."
Ning Bei, who had been watching the drama unfold, nodded lightly, assuring everyone that a small tiger couldn't stir up a storm.
Dai Tianxing, noticing the lack of fear in the eyes of the crowd, felt his face heat up. A pressure from his Soul Douluo rank suddenly swept toward the group, and eight soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—floated into view.
"I am a Star Luo Elder, a Soul Douluo of level 83. Do you really want to die?"
The pressure was dispersed by a slight tap from Ning Bei, who then walked toward him step by step. With each step, a soul ring rose.
After nine steps, two yellow, one purple, three black, and three red rings appeared.
Ning Bei scratched his ear with his pinky and tilted his head to listen.
"You say you're who? What kind of Douluo are you?"
Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuqing clearly recognized Ning Bei. Their previous encounter at the street corner had left a lasting impression, and the fear of being controlled by him returned.
At the time, among the guards, the highest-ranked was only a Soul King, and they had assumed Ning Bei was a high-level Soul Saint. But now, seeing those three blood-red soul rings, they were struck with horror.
The rest of the Star Luo team trembled with fear; they had never met a titled Douluo in person.
Dai Tianxing, who was directly facing Ning Bei's aura, now appeared pale and shook as he took several steps back.
"You... you..."
"You what? I'm asking you, what kind of Douluo are you?"
"I... I..."
"Pathetic. You were just bullying a few kids, weren't you? Where's your courage now?"
Dai Tianxing clenched his teeth, swallowing his words. Strength was the highest truth in the Douluo Continent, and as a Star Luo Elder, he was nothing compared to this.
He never imagined that a man in his early twenties could be a titled Douluo. What kind of world was this?
After a deep breath, Dai Tianxing attempted his usual tactic—playing his royal card.
"Your Majesty, this was all a misunderstanding. I am the cousin of the current Star Luo Emperor. Please give me face and don't interfere in the affairs of the Dai and Zhu families."
"Oh? I will interfere. What are you going to do about it?"
Ning Bei looked at Dai Tianxing with an emotionless expression, waiting to see what else he would say.
"Don't you fear provoking a war between the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire?"
Dai Tianxing's expression became increasingly twisted. He didn't think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would offend the Star Luo royal family for the sake of a woman from the Zhu family.
Ning Bei smiled coldly. A country that might not even exist in a few years? You think you can scare me with that?
After going back and forth with the same words, Ning Bei lost interest in playing cat and mouse. He turned to face Dai Weisi behind Dai Tianxing.
"Hey, go back and tell Dai Tianyu to send troops to Heaven Dou. Send as many as you want, and I'll destroy them all. Tell him this is the message from the Medicine God Douluo."
"Also, I'll be taking care of this old fool. You all can leave."
A member of the Star Luo Royal Academy froze for a moment before looking at Ning Bei with disbelief.
Dai Tianxing, trembling, pointed at Ning Bei as if he had seen a madman.
"You... you..."
"Your Majesty."
Dai Weisi stepped forward, bowing his head slightly, wanting to speak but was interrupted by Ning Bei's hand motion.
"If you keep talking nonsense, you can stay here. I'm sure Dai Mu Bai would love to go back and become the prince."
Dai Weisi was left speechless, taking a deep breath before looking at Dai Tianxing with pity. He left with the Star Luo team.
Ning Bei turned around and met Dai Tianxing's panicked eyes, smirking as he spoke.
"Do you want to struggle a little before you die?"
"No, you can't kill me... Star Luo Empire won't..."
Before he could finish, Dai Tianxing turned into a block of ice, standing still in place, his eyes filled with panic and regret.
"Brother, are you really going to kill him?"
Ning Rongrong looked at Ning Bei with some apprehension, she had only been joking before, but if this really caused a war between the two countries, she was quite scared.
"Otherwise? If we don't do something drastic, they'll think we're afraid, and they'll keep bothering us. Do you want to hand Zhuqing over to them?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong straightened her back and waved her hand.
"Of course not!"
"But what if the Star Luo royal family really sends troops?"
Zhu Zhuqing, listening to the conversation between the siblings, felt moved but also made up her mind.
"Ning Bei, I'll still go back with him..."
Before she could finish, Ning Bei flicked her forehead, causing her to stagger back a few steps.
"It's none of your business. Go back to the hotel and practice."
Ning Bei gave a stern look to the little cat and then looked at his sister.
"Let them come. When the time comes, I'll go between the military and release Daming, Erming, Ah Bao, and A Zhu."
"Anyway, they're getting bored in the Dan Tower."
"Not to mention, your sister-in-law's grandfather is a military killer, don't you remember?"
"I totally forgot about Ah Bao and the others!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes brightened upon hearing this and she immediately gained confidence. She rushed forward and kicked the ice sculpture.
"Hey, brother, why is this ice sculpture so hard?"
Everyone watched as Ning Rongrong grabbed her foot, looking miserable. They couldn't help but laugh, and even the little cat's tension faded.
"Alright, let's go. Find a place to eat. Today's treat is on Lady Ning!"
Ning Bei led the group toward the hotel. As they passed Dai Tianxing, he snapped his fingers.
The ice sculpture that Ning Rongrong had treated like iron instantly shattered into countless pieces, scattering across the ground.
