"Oscar didn't dare to tell you the whole story precisely because he knows your temperament."
"Look at how you're behaving after finding out."
"Which part of you resembles my daughter, Ning Fengzhi?"
Ning Fengzhi was furious.
He was quite satisfied with this son-in-law.
Last night, Oscar had the chance to escape with Ning Rongrong, but he chose to risk his life to help the sect.
If it were before, Chen Xin and Gu Rong would have "taught" Ning Fengzhi a lesson, but now, the two of them kept their eyes and noses to themselves, saying nothing, even pretending not to see Ning Rongrong.
Oscar's mouth twitched, wanting to speak but holding back.
He couldn't help but feel that his father-in-law was setting him up!
"I…"
Ning Rongrong was at a loss, flustered.
After being locked up for so long, she had indeed changed somewhat.
Seeing this, Oscar felt a pang of heartache, but he didn't contradict his father-in-law.
He understood that Ning Fengzhi was doing this for Ning Rongrong's own good.
There were some people that even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and second-level gods couldn't afford to offend, or even dare to offend.
But Ning Rongrong's temperament was fearless, completely unafraid of offending others.
Therefore, she had to change!
If she didn't change, and if she brought disaster upon everyone, it would be a true calamity.
Ning Rongrong remained silent for a while, and everyone thought she had realized her mistake. But when she finally spoke, everyone's faces darkened.
"Dad, why is your spirit the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
"How did it evolve like this?"
"Why isn't mine…"
As soon as these words were spoken, the four of them were dumbfounded, stunned, and confused, their expressions a mix of emotions.
This Ning Rongrong was truly something!
Even Oscar's eye twitched, feeling a bit sorry for himself.
What exactly had he seen in Ning Rongrong back then?
Rich, and beautiful?
Well, those were certainly factors.
If he had known she was like this, he probably wouldn't have pursued her, let alone fallen in love with her.
But since things had come to this, he could only sigh and think that this might be the karma from his past life.
Oscar was one of the more normal members of the original Shrek Seven Devils.
He was very clear about his own position. Even when Ning Rongrong kissed Tang San, he didn't get angry. Was it because he wasn't angry?
No, it was because he didn't dare!
As a food-type spirit master with no combat ability, he had a very clear understanding of himself.
Ning Rongrong's question only made Ning Fengzhi angrier!
"How dare you bring this up!"
"???"
Ning Rongrong was stunned, feeling wronged. She really didn't know.
As for Oscar, he was also full of questions. Did this have something to do with Ning Rongrong too?
"Do you know what kind of existence the Martial God is?"
"If it weren't for your willfulness, repeatedly offending him for the sake of that Tang San and Shrek Academy, why would I have locked you up!"
"You're my own daughter. You've been pampered since childhood. Locking you up was harder on everyone else than it was on you!"
"But we had no choice. You're a walking disaster. If one day you bring about the destruction of the sect, then I, who didn't lock you up, would be the sect's greatest sinner!"
Ning Rongrong and Oscar both fell silent, not knowing what to say.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong looked at Ning Rongrong. They had long regretted their past actions.
Why had they spoiled this child so much, turning her into such a lawless person?
"My Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolved with the help of the Martial God."
"If it weren't for you repeatedly offending him, I would have swallowed my pride and sacrificed half the sect to beg for an evolution opportunity for you. But you, Ning Rongrong, have truly disappointed me!"
"It was only after I obtained my godhood that I realized what this spirit evolution truly brought."
"Without this spirit evolution, how could I, Ning Fengzhi, have been worthy of the gods' favor and received a godhood?"
"This opportunity should have been yours, but you didn't cherish it. You couldn't see the bigger picture, and I don't blame you for that, given your young age."
"But you didn't trust the sect, didn't trust your father, and thought we were doing this to harm you!"
"Ning Rongrong, for this reason alone, you are unworthy of becoming a god!"
"I can't even imagine what kind of disaster you would bring to the sect if you were to become a god…"
After saying this, Ning Fengzhi's anger subsided a bit, and he slumped into his seat, as if all his strength had left him.
This was the feeling of being deeply disappointed in someone.
"He's right. If it were this girl whose spirit evolved, the Nine-Colored… ahem, that godhood wouldn't have been his."
"Thinking about it, it's a good thing that godhood was passed to your father-in-law. After all, in terms of ability, insight, and temperament, he's the best successor, a thousand times better than your wife."
"As for your wife, well, it's hard to put into words."
At this moment, the God of Food's voice rang in Oscar's mind, leaving him stunned.
But he couldn't bring himself to defend her, because he felt the same way!
"Is there really no hope for Rongrong?"
"No hope. After she passes away in a hundred years, you can find someone else. After all, gods have long lifespans, and she, who can't even break through to the Title Douluo level, won't be able to accompany you."
"By the way, it's best if you find someone after ascending to the God Realm. It's fine if you don't know anyone; I can introduce you."
"Because my cooking is good, I know quite a few goddesses."
At this point, the God of Food was full of pride!
Oscar: "..."
"My godhood is only a second-level god, so even if you become a god, you can only stay in the Douluo Continent for a hundred years at most. After that, you must ascend."
"When you ascend, you can't bring anyone with you. Unless you can elevate your godhood to a first-level god."
"So, your wife is beyond saving…"
Suddenly, as if remembering something, the God of Food's voice became very serious.
"Oscar, it wasn't my intention to pass my godhood to you, because as you are now, you're truly unworthy of inheriting it."
"But I was threatened by a god and had no choice but to pass it to you."
"Here, I must remind you: stay away from Tang San, stay away from Tang San, stay away from Tang San!"
"If you want to die, then ignore what I've said!"
Hearing this, Oscar was confused. Why was the God of Food warning him to stay away from Tang San?
"I know you're puzzled, so I'll tell you directly: Tang San has never considered you brothers. He's only been using you."
"He possesses a trace of supreme divine power that can cloud your minds. In other words, staying near him for too long will reduce your intelligence!"
"Your wife is a victim of this intelligence reduction."
"Oscar, I'm taking a huge risk by telling you this. Please, don't do anything foolish!"
