AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
"God of Agriculture, don't talk nonsense."
Xiao Ze was a bit helpless; who would have thought Ning Rongrong would say something like that?
"Rongrong, don't mess around. We've only known each other for so long. Even if there are feelings, they can only be considered friendship. We're still a long way from being a couple, let alone getting married."
Xiao Ze said seriously.
"Oh." Ning Rongrong had only said it casually, but hearing Xiao Ze's refusal still made her a little sad.
Was there something wrong with her?
She had wealth, status, talent, and a quick wit.
Xiao Ze knew very well that his relationship with Ning Rongrong was built on various magical crops.
True emotional connection was still far off.
Moreover, Xiao Ze was only twelve years old now, still a distance from dating.
Even if the Douluo Continent matured early, it would still be at least fourteen, right?
"Alright, let's talk about this later. And actually, there are many magical things in this World. Some can increase spirit power by several levels, and some can evolve a Spirit.
Perhaps your Spirit will evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in the future."
"Am I that stupid? If such things existed, wouldn't our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School know about them?" Ning Rongrong couldn't even figure out how her ancestor became the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"Then, shall we make a bet?"
"Okay." Ning Rongrong nodded heavily.
"If I can find such a thing and make you the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, you..."
"I'll marry you. If not, you marry me."
Ning Rongrong directly took over the conversation.
Xiao Ze, hearing this, didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How come I feel like you're just lusting after my body?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded; it did feel a bit like she was eager to marry.
"No way." Ning Rongrong's already rosy cheeks now took on a faint pink hue.
This gave her snow-like, delicate and smooth skin a unique charm.
"If I marry you, it's like giving you the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Aren't you making a huge profit?"
Zhu Zhuqing was dumbfounded. Was this something she was supposed to hear?
Directly giving away a Sect, and one of the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
If your father knew, wouldn't he beat you?
Ning Fengzhi: My filial daughter, she's killing me with filial piety.
"You're really something, a leaky little cotton jacket."
"Just tell me if you're betting or not." Ning Rongrong extended her small pink fist.
"I'm betting." Xiao Ze bumped fists with her. Since she was practically throwing herself at him, why refuse?
Xiao Ze himself wasn't exactly a good person.
Since he had come to the Douluo Continent, it was impossible to have just one woman. Shouldn't he fulfill his childhood dreams?
However, he could guarantee to treat all girls equally.
...
In a blink of an eye, three months passed.
Xiao Ze had raised his spirit power to level thirty.
As for the Agricultural Sprites, only Jade Gold had advanced to the excellent grade.
Without special resources, it was difficult to improve their quality.
Therefore, Immortal Herbs, he absolutely had to get them.
Immortal Herbs could at least raise them to epic grade. Once they possessed a Domain, that would be a huge improvement.
"Finally level thirty. It's time to get a spirit ring."
Now, Xiao Ze's physique was very strong. He could basically acquire any spirit ring within ten thousand years.
Xiao Ze went to the nearby villa, which was Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's house.
This was the Heaven Dou Royal Academy; the accommodation area, needless to say, was top-notch.
The villa area was hidden among lush greenery, like a secluded paradise gently embraced by nature.
On both sides of the road, tall trees were neatly arranged, and low shrubs were scattered artfully.
Around each villa, an exclusive garden was meticulously crafted. A gentle breeze carried fragrant scents.
Everywhere showcased the tranquil beauty of nature blending with the villas.
Life here was a hundred times better than at Shrek Academy.
Knock knock—
After a long while, the door opened.
Xiao Ze saw a somewhat dazed Ning Rongrong, still in her pajamas, though Ning Rongrong's pajamas were relatively conservative.
"Xiao Ze, what are you doing so early in the morning?"
"Come with me to get a spirit ring."
"You... you're level thirty?" Ning Rongrong immediately became alert.
"Mm."
"So fast."
"Aren't you two pretty fast too, gaining 1 level of spirit power?" Xiao Ze smiled.
"That's still thanks to your crops. A few days ago, Dugu Yan even started asking me what those crops were. She must have discovered something."
This was Ning Rongrong asking if she should tell Dugu Yan.
"Just pretend you let it slip."
"You really did take a liking to Dugu Yan." Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips, a bit indignant.
Wasn't she more beautiful than Dugu Yan?
Her grandfather was a Titled Douluo, and her own family had two.
"Nonsense. I mainly want to discuss some matters with Poison Douluo, Your Excellency."
"Oh?" Although Ning Rongrong wasn't clear about Xiao Ze's exact intentions, she knew he definitely had his own ideas.
"I'll go call Zhuqing out."
A quarter of an hour later, Ning Rongrong changed her clothes and came out with Zhu Zhuqing.
This made Xiao Ze breathe a sigh of relief.
He had thought it would be like those girls in his previous life, taking one or two hours.
However, girls who could cultivate on the Douluo Continent wouldn't be ugly; at least they'd be at a six-out-of-ten acceptable level.
Perhaps this was the effect of the World's elemental power, having some bone-cleansing and marrow-washing effects.
"What year Spirit Beast do you want to acquire?" Ning Rongrong asked casually.
"Anything under ten thousand years is fine."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong coughed violently, choking on her own saliva.
Zhu Zhuqing, though also shocked, still patted Ning Rongrong's back.
"Are you crazy?" Ning Rongrong looked at him in disbelief, smiling.
"No, I'm very serious."
"But other Spirit Masters' fourth spirit ring is usually below five thousand five hundred years." Zhu Zhuqing was also a little worried about Xiao Ze.
Of course, it wasn't because if Xiao Ze died, she wouldn't have crops to consume.
As a friend, worry was natural.
"My physique is very strong; otherwise, I wouldn't say this. You should know, I'm extremely afraid of death. I won't let myself explode from absorbing a spirit ring."
Xiao Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Really?" Ning Rongrong was still a bit suspicious.
"Don't worry, I've been eating my own crops since I was nine, so I'm definitely stronger than you."
Besides, what he ate was of the best quality, completely different from what they had.
Of course, Xiao Ze couldn't say this.
It wasn't that Xiao Ze was unwilling to give, but mainly for his own safety.
Even ordinary quality had such good effects, not to mention the high-quality ones he had.
If those powerhouses found out, he would surely be captured.
Before he had the ability to escape from a Titled Douluo, it was better to be cautious.
Only by surviving to the end was one qualified to become a God.
"Forget it, as long as you know what you're doing. But seeing you like this, being able to get a ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring, you're really a pervert."
"If you wanted to, your fourth spirit ring might also have a chance to be ten thousand years."
"Hm?" Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing immediately widened their eyes, looking at him.
Xiao Ze smiled and walked forward.
"Explain yourself clearly."
