When Dai Mubai's exam reached its final day, Ye Yu stepped in to assist. With Ye Yu's support, Dai Mubai easily defeated the War God, exceeding the completion of the eighth trial and starting the ninth trial, with the difficulty reduced by fifty percent.
Afterwards, Ye Yu then went to check on Ning Rongrong.
Ye Yu's divine sense covered the entire Douluo Continent, allowing him to flash to any place at will.
Upon sensing Ning Rongrong's aura, Ye Yu arrived at the Nine-Colored Divine Maiden's assessment site, on a picturesque island surrounded by lush mountains and clear waters, where a nine-colored rainbow spanned across the island.
As Ye Yu appeared, the beautiful Nine-Colored Divine Maiden showed up and greeted Ye Yu with a nod: "Greetings to the God of Apocalypse."
The next moment, Ning Rongrong also came, and upon seeing Ye Yu, she was so excited and joyful, her actions were naturally bolder than Zhu Zhuqing's.
Zhu Zhuqing rushed forward to tightly hug Ye Yu directly, while Ning Rongrong leaped up to cling on, wrapping her arms tightly around Ye Yu's upper body with her slender legs gripping Ye Yu's waist.
"Brother Yu, I missed you so much."
Ning Rongrong was extremely happy.
In this unbecoming scene, Ye Yu reminded: "Be mindful of the surroundings."
The Nine-Colored Divine Maiden watched and chuckled: "I shall take my leave."
As the Nine-Colored Divine Maiden left, Ning Rongrong held on tightly, snuggling in Ye Yu's embrace.
Ye Yu said: "Are you not coming down?"
"No, I want to keep hugging like this."
Not only did Ning Rongrong refuse to let go, but she hugged even tighter.
Ye Yu said in a strained voice: "I'm really struggling under pressure here."
Ning Rongrong looked puzzled: "Brother Yu, what are you talking about? Under pressure from what?"
"Anyway, you should come down first." Ye Yu strained to hold in.
"Alright."
After coming down, Ning Rongrong asked: "Brother Yu, why did you come here? I thought I would only see you after becoming a God."
"I'm here to help you—I've already helped Zhuqing and Mubai."
Upon understanding this, Ning Rongrong felt happy: "With Brother Yu's help, I'm guaranteed to succeed in becoming a God."
"Oh, by the way, Brother Yu, you haven't said what pressure you were under?" Ning Rongrong blinked her beautiful eyes, filled with curiosity.
Ye Yu looked at Ning Rongrong and sighed softly: "Twenty-three now, fully developed, yet still somewhat naive."
Ning Rongrong pouted: "I'm not naive, it's just that Brother Yu was too cryptic."
Ye Yu leaned in, whispering a few words in Ning Rongrong's ear, and suddenly Ning Rongrong blushed.
Simultaneously, Ning Rongrong felt pleased in her heart, satisfied with her looks and figure, confident.
The now twenty-three-year-old had an even taller stature and a more perfect shape.
Ning Rongrong blushingly said: "Brother Yu, so you do have feelings for me."
Ye Yu said with a bitter smile: "I'm a man; of course, I have feelings."
"Then, do you have other feelings... like..."
Discussing the topic she most wanted to know about, Ning Rongrong hesitated, daring not to ask, fearing the answer might not be what she hoped.
Ye Yu realized he could no longer avoid addressing the emotional issues, smiled slightly and said directly: "You want to know if I like you, right?"
Ning Rongrong froze, lifted her head, and looked directly at Ye Yu, a bit surprised by his reply.
Ye Yu said: "I've decided not to avoid any more issues, instead face emotional topics directly; dragging things on isn't good for either of us."
At that moment, Ning Rongrong's heart raced, anxious yet expectant, and mostly afraid.
Ye Yu naturally saw Ning Rongrong's emotional state and stated with a slight smile: "I like you."
The next instant, Ning Rongrong's joy brought tears to her eyes these words, for she had waited a long time.
Ning Rongrong and Ye Yu embraced each other; sensing people nearby, Ye Yu didn't mention his relationship with Zhu Qing.
Indeed, Ye Yu's heart favored Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong. As for Qianren Xue, they hadn't spent much time together, so genuine love was still somewhat distant. Although Qianren Xue was very beautiful, especially after becoming a God, Ye Yu wouldn't fall just for looks, as that would mean loving only her appearance.
With Ning Rongrong and Zhuqing, he had naturally developed deep romantic feelings from the start.
"Hahaha... wonderful, so wonderful."
At that point, laughter of incomparable joy rang out, seeming even happier and more excited than Ning Rongrong's.
Ye Yu and Ning Rongrong separated, Ning Rongrong looked over and said: "Dad."
It was Ning Fengzhi who had arrived, accompanied by Sword Douluo.
Knowing Ning Rongrong was starting her Divine Mansion assessment, the two had been on this island from the start but didn't show themselves easily, knowing excessive help might instead harm their daughter. It was purely out of reluctance and concern, as they didn't understand the Divine Realm or could go there. Although their daughter was excellent, there was no telling what she might encounter in the Divine Realm.
Now, seeing Ning Rongrong and Ye Yu's emotional confession, Ning Fengzhi was reassured.
"Sect Leader Ning, Elder Jian," Ye Yu greeted politely.
"Elder, I'm unworthy of such a title," Sword Douluo was somewhat flattered.
Ye Yu said: "Since I've become a God, I must address you as an elder."
Sword Douluo nodded, felt delighted that Rongrong could follow Ye Yu, relieved by Ye Yu's excellent character and limitless ability.
Ning Fengzhi laughed and asked: "Can you call Uncle Jian an elder but still call me Sect Leader Ning?"
Ye Yu chuckled: "Father-in-law."
"Good! Good!" Ning Fengzhi laughed heartily, his face beaming with joy.
Ning Fengzhi couldn't wait: "Why not return to Seven Treasure Glaze Sect for the wedding? After marriage, have children on Douluo Continent."
Ye Yu: "..."
Beside him, Ning Rongrong blushed and said coquettishly: "Dad! You're too eager. We just confessed to each other, and you're already talking about marriage and... having children..."
Ning Rongrong spoke, shyly bowing her head, but stealing a glance at Ye Yu, heart sweet and longing for those two things to happen soon.
Regarding marriage and childbirth, Ye Yu felt it was indeed a bit fast: "This... we'll see."
Ning Fengzhi said to Sword Douluo: "We should leave, with Ye Yu here, there's no need to worry about Rongrong's assessment."
Sword Douluo said: "With Ye Yu here, Rongrong's becoming a God is not far off; why don't we stay a bit longer?"
Ning Fengzhi helplessly said: "We shouldn't be this third wheel, preventing our daughter and Ye Yu from enjoying their world together."
Sword Douluo paused, quickly understood, nodded swiftly: "Okay, let's go."
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo left, and from a distance, Ning Fengzhi said: "Do your best; indeed, no rush for marriage."
Ning Fengzhi hoped inwardly for their grand wedding to happen soon, but since Ye Yu wasn't rushing, then children must come before marriage.
Only now did Sword Douluo understand and smiled: "Fengzhi, you mean to marry because of pregnancy, letting us quickly leave."
Ning Fengzhi nodded: "Indeed, once there's pregnancy, marriage should naturally follow."
Ye Yu naturally saw Ning Fengzhi's intent, Ning Rongrong also thought about it, and blushed, feeling very nervous, yet gathered courage to say something Zhu Qing wouldn't dare to say.
"Brother Yu, what should we do tonight..."
