Chapter 40 Ning Rongrong Cries from Fear! All of you, come at me at once, don't waste time!
The little witch was so focused on what she was watching that she didn't notice a Scorpion Tiger creeping up behind her.
This Scorpion Tiger was the one Lin Fan had bought at auction. It had already been trained and was no longer afraid to eat people. He just wanted to scare the little girl who had wandered in without permission.
"Waaah, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, help me!" Ning Rongrong cried out incoherently, her body trembling uncontrollably. "Don't come any closer, it's not tasty... I'm not tasty at all!" The little witch waved her hands wildly, trying to drive away the terrifying creature.
Lin Fan, who was inside counting the gifts, heard the commotion outside and used teleportation to instantly appear in front of Ning Rongrong, protecting her behind him.
"This Scorpion Tiger is my pet; it won't hurt anyone," Lin Fan explained softly, while using his soul power to soothe the beast and make it retreat to the side.
Hearing that it was domesticated, Ning Rongrong breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still dared not look directly at the enormous creature. She hid behind Lin Fan and cautiously peeked out.
Lin Fan asked jokingly, "Why did you sneak into my courtyard?
If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'm going to go find Sect Master Ning and have him teach you a lesson."
Kids are all afraid of their parents being sued! The thought of being scolded by her father, and possibly even being put in solitary confinement, was unbearable for her. Even the little witch, who was good at lying, was a little flustered.
After hesitating for a moment, in order not to be reported, she finally decided to tell the truth: "I... I'm just curious and want to see what's so special about you, this Holy Son."
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan shook his head, but there was no blame in his eyes.
"Curiosity is a good thing, but you have to know when to stop," Lin Fan said calmly, then turned and walked into the house, gesturing for Ning Rongrong to follow. "Since you're here, come in and have a seat. But don't sneak around like this next time."
Ning Rongrong was taken aback, not expecting Lin Fan to be so forgiving.
Her dissatisfaction and hostility towards Lin Fan seemed to melt away somewhat at this moment.
"Your room is quite nicely decorated, but the first floor isn't even as big as my bedroom," Ning Rongrong couldn't help but complain, pouting as if she thought the room was for poor people.
The most outrageous 'old money' attitude was on full display!
'This little devil, she really dares to say that!' Lin Fan's eyelids twitched, feeling a brief urge to hit someone. However, he quickly calmed down.
"Oh, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it seems your bedroom is quite luxurious. Is it inlaid with gold and jade, and even the floor is paved with soul bones?"
Ning Rongrong blushed and snorted, "Anyway, it's much bigger than yours."
"What's the use of being big?
Can it feed us? My room may be small, but it has everything we need." Lin Fan shrugged.
"Besides, who knows, this might become the core of the Spirit Hall in the future."
Ning Rongrong curled her lip, "You? The most crucial part?
Don't dream about it." Lin Fan didn't bother arguing with a six-year-old kid. He walked to a table, poured her a cup of tea, and handed it to her: "Have a sip."
Ning Rongrong took the tea, hesitated, then took a sip. Her eyes lit up: "This tea is not bad."
After chatting for a while, Ning Rongrong's impression of Lin Fan gradually changed. She discovered that this 6-year-old Holy Son was not as annoying as she had imagined; in fact, he was quite interesting.
"Hey, Lin Fan, you'd better be careful in tonight's competition," Ning Rongrong warned.
Lin Fan smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. But you, don't end up crying from fear."
"Excuse me for asking, what level are you at now? How did you become a Holy Son?" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but ask.
"It's a secret." Lin Fan revealed a wicked smile. "Just don't pee your pants from fright tonight."
"Heh, you pretentious bastard~"
As night fell, Spirit City was brightly lit. Tonight's competition banquet for the prodigies is undoubtedly the highlight of this grand event.
The geniuses from all the major forces were eager to show off their skills on the arena, especially those who were envious of Lin Fan's position as the Holy Son.
The banquet was bustling with activity. On the stage, the lights were focused, creating a tense atmosphere.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Fan calmly entered the venue. His white-gold Holy Son robe shone brightly, making him exceptionally dazzling.
Bibi Dong stepped onto the high platform. "Today's competition among the elites aims to promote exchanges among the younger generation of various factions.
Friendship comes first, competition second."
Lin Fan looked at the group of prodigies below the arena and said with his usual sharp tongue, "Why don't you all come up together? It'll save us time."
These words immediately caused an uproar.
"Holy Son, don't be so arrogant!" Yu Tianxin's face darkened instantly.
He was hailed by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family as one of the Twin Stars. The other geniuses also felt challenged: "That's right, don't think you're so great just because you've become a Holy Son!"
Seeing him spout such arrogant words, Golden Crocodile Douluo (Jin E) looked at Bibi Dong in astonishment and transmitted his voice, "This was your arrangement?"
However, Bibi Dong looked exasperated and replied: "No. I reminded him to be mindful of his image..."
The brothers Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin exchanged a glance. Yu Tianheng was the first to jump onto the arena, summoning his Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul. His body was surrounded by lightning: "Holy Son, today I will show you what it means to be outmatched!"
"Wait a minute." Lin Fan raised his hand to interrupt, his gaze sweeping over the audience.
He then proceeded to list all the geniuses from the major forces, except for those from Spirit Hall, as if reciting a menu: "Yu Tianxin, Davis, Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Ning Rongrong...
Come on up together, so I don't have to deal with you one by one."
The room fell silent for a moment, then erupted in chaos. "Is this guy out of his mind?" someone muttered.
Yu Yuanzhen(Blue Lightning Clan Leader) face darkened: "Your Holiness, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall is quite arrogant."
