Chapter 297: Huo Linglong Pushing for Marriage
After hearing Ning Bei's comforting words, Qian Renxue felt slightly at ease and decided to temporarily set aside the issue of Tang San, focusing her energy on dealing with the Xing Luo Empire.
"By the way, how strong is the High Priest of Sea God Island?"
"Very strong, I almost fell into her hands. She can summon the Sea God's avatar to fight for her in a short time. Although it's only 20% of the Sea God's true power, it's still incredibly formidable."
Upon hearing this, a trace of shock flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. "She can even summon the Sea God to fight?"
"It's the Sea God's avatar, and you didn't catch any of the details in what I said?"
Ning Bei shot her a glare. If the real Sea God descended, that would be a whole different story. The Sea God had been a god for a thousand years and was close to reaching the god-king level of power.
"I was just so surprised. I've never heard of Grandfather summoning the Angel God's avatar to fight!"
Little Angel awkwardly smiled and then asked about divine avatars. How was Ning Bei supposed to answer that? If the Angel God were truly dead, how could there be an avatar?
"No worries. Once you become the Angel God and use your divine power, you won't need an avatar. It's only those who have no chance of becoming gods that need them."
Qian Renxue wasn't particularly comforted by his words. She rolled her eyes and responded, "Hmph, I'll tell Grandfather exactly what you said."
"Hey, you're going to sell your husband out? Do you want me to make you wear the Emperor's new clothes?"
"Come on, who's afraid of you? By the way, when was the last time you cleaned the Ice God Temple?"
After more than half a month, Little Angel wasn't afraid at all. She even suggested going to clean the Ice God Temple herself.
Ning Bei couldn't bear it and immediately said, "Take off your armor, take off your armor!"
After discussing a bit more about Kur Ning's singing style, Ning Bei left the royal palace, satisfied, and agreed to make his move on Xing Luo in a month.
Returning to the sect, Ning Bei immediately found Ning Fengzhi, who was sitting in the courtyard with Ning Mother, enjoying the sunshine.
"Oh? Our God Inheritor is back?"
Faced with his mother's teasing, Ning Bei was a bit embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "What's wrong with coming home? Isn't it normal?"
Ning Mother rolled her eyes at him and started to nag.
"You come back, but what's the point? You didn't even bring me a grandchild. When I was your age, your brother could already do things on his own."
"And now your brother's kids can already do things on their own, yet you're still not making any progress."
"Uh…"
Well, Ning Bei had only heard of elders urging marriage and childbirth on short video platforms in his previous life, but he never expected Huo Linglong to give him the "marriage pressure" from another world's perspective.
Indeed, Ning Bei's older brother Ning Fan had gotten married several years ago to a princess from the Balak royal family, which was more of a political marriage. Now, his nephew was already over three years old, and according to Ning Mother's logic, he was already capable of doing things on his own.
Completely inexperienced at handling this situation, Ning Bei looked helplessly at Ning Fengzhi, only to find him pretending to look at the clouds in the sky, completely ignoring his gaze.
Ning Bei couldn't help but curse silently, then turned around and forced himself to speak.
"There's still much to do. Once everything is settled, I'll definitely consider the matter of children."
"Hmph, all excuses."
Seeing that Huo Linglong still wanted to say something, Ning Fengzhi finally stepped in and stopped his wife.
"Alright, Linglong, this kid has many beautiful women around him. Having children is just a matter of time. Right now, he really has important things to handle. Even your daughters-in-law are too busy to have children."
Ning Fengzhi knew that Qian Renxue was about to take action against Xing Luo, and that Du Gongyan was also going through the Sea God's trial with her daughter. They were both too busy for children. As for Ning Fan, he had already given him many grandchildren, so he wasn't worried about heirs.
However, to have a talented grandson, it had to depend on his second son. Ning Fengzhi gave Ning Bei a knowing look.
Since Ning Fengzhi spoke up, Huo Linglong couldn't keep nagging. She shot her husband a glare, implying that he wasn't paying attention to their son, and then subtly changed the topic.
"How's Rong Rong doing?"
"She's fine, a little tyrant. Wherever she goes, she has followers. Plus, Yanyan is still by her side, so everything's good."
"Well, that's good. I wonder how long they'll take for the trial before coming back."
Ning Rongrong had always been the joy of Huo Linglong's life, and now that she was gone for years, Ning Mother missed her terribly.
"It's for her good, though. In just one year, she's already become a Soul Emperor, and the soul rings were granted by Sea God. How could she get such an opportunity if she stayed at home?"
Not knowing how to comfort Huo Linglong, Ning Bei explained the benefits Rong Rong had gained. Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ning Mother could only suppress her longing, as it was all for Rong Rong's good.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that lazy girl's cultivation would progress so quickly.
"Really, she's become a Soul Emperor?"
Ning Bei nodded and confirmed, "I'm not lying. I've seen it with my own eyes."
"Not only Rong Rong, but everyone else is at least a Soul Emperor now. Xiao Wu has even become a Soul Saint and obtained a 100,000-year soul ring."
"Good, good!"
Compared to the personal matters, Ning Fengzhi, as the Sect Master, was more concerned with their potential. Now that he knew the children they were focusing on training were all extraordinary, how could he not be excited?
This business-minded attitude left Huo Linglong speechless. She angrily pinched him.
"So, as long as Rong Rong's cultivation progresses, you're fine sending her off to the ends of the earth, huh?"
"You're being overly sentimental. There's nothing wrong with the kid progressing. Do you want her to be tied to a waistband for life?"
"I…"
Seeing the two parents on the verge of an argument, Ning Bei quickly played peacemaker.
"Alright, alright. How about next time I go visit, Mom can come with me? That way you won't have to nag."
"Hmph, all you Ning people are bastards. One after another, saying I'm annoying. I'm going back to my family!"
Huo Linglong rolled her eyes at both of them and turned to leave, leaving the father and son staring at each other in silence.
"Why is it like this every time you come back? It turns into a mess."
"Hmph, you're the one who upset Mom. You could've kept quiet for a bit."
As Ning Mother left, the father and son began pointing fingers at each other. After a while, Ning Fengzhi finally steered the conversation back to business.
"Have you decided how to handle Xing Luo?"
"Mhm, next month is Dai Tianyu's 60th birthday. They will definitely throw a big celebration, and they will be lax with their defense. That's when the opportunity will come."
"Got it. Do you need our help?"
Ning Fengzhi nodded, acknowledging the timing Ning Bei and Qian Renxue had chosen, then asked if they needed help.
Ning Bei shook his head.
"No need. I plan to use the beast wave to attack the borders of Xing Luo first."
