Chapter 136: The Young Lady Gave Too Much
After the battle, Davis returned to the Heaven Dou City hotel. After compensating the hotel with several hundred gold soul coins, the hotel manager finally arranged a new room for them.
Davis fell asleep immediately. Zhu Zhuyun, still startled from the events of the night, refrained from further intimacy and fell asleep beside him.
Having witnessed Davis and Tang Hao's battle, Zhu Zhuqing—deeply cherished by Davis—also climbed into his bed and slept beside him.
Though the bed was plain, Davis felt incredibly content, cradling the big cat in his left arm and the little cat in his right. The night passed peacefully.
The next morning, Tang Yuehua approached Davis and agreed to take him to the Clear Sky Sect in a week to help persuade Tang Xiao and discuss forming an alliance between the Clear Sky Sect and the Star Luo Empire.
Davis readily agreed. The delay was due to Tang Yuehua's schedule; her etiquette academy, Yuexuan, was fully booked, and she had to fulfill her responsibilities as principal and instructor.
For the entire week, Davis maintained a steady routine: cultivating his soul power at the Yin-Yang Eyes during the day and sleeping with his two cats at night. His life was carefree and comfortable.
Six days later, at dusk, Davis completed his daily training and returned to the hotel, preparing to eat dinner and rest.
"Weiss, welcome back."
As soon as Davis entered the hotel, Zhu Zhuyun rushed over and hugged him tightly, like a clingy little wife.
Hearing her voice, Zhu Zhuqing also emerged slowly, followed by a petite, cute girl.
The girl had a delicate and doll-like face, porcelain skin, and sparkling white teeth. Though petite, she radiated charm.
She wore a long emerald green dress, snow-white stockings that invited touch, and a pair of polished black leather shoes.
The moment Davis saw her, his brows rose—he recognized her instantly. It was Ning Rongrong, one of the Shrek Six Devils, daughter of Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tiles Sect—famously known as the sect's Little Witch.
"Isn't that Ning Rongrong? Why is she here?" Davis was puzzled.
Ning Rongrong greeted him as if they were familiar, a sweet smile on her face as she held Zhu Zhuqing's hand.
"Brother Dai, we meet again!"
Davis smiled gently and nodded. "Yes, I remember. You were Mu Bai's classmate."
"Hehe, thank you, Brother Dai, for remembering me!"
"Weiss, let me introduce you," Zhu Zhuyun added. "This is Miss Ning Rongrong, daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tiles Sect's leader, Ning Fengzhi. She came specifically to see you today."
Ning Rongrong had arrived at the hotel that morning to meet Davis, but he had already gone to train at the Yin-Yang Eyes. During the wait, she bought gifts and girly accessories for Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing. Being all girls, they quickly became close.
Davis asked with a smile, "Oh? I wonder what brings you here, Miss Ning?"
"No need to call me Miss. Brother Dai, just call me Rongrong. That's what all my friends call me."
She didn't come here for no reason. What's her real purpose?
"Alright then, Rongrong it is," Davis said warmly. After all, Ning Rongrong was still a young lady; there was no need to act overly cautious.
"Rongrong, is there something you want to discuss? If you're not in a hurry, we can talk over dinner."
"Okay! I'm hungry too," Ning Rongrong replied with a smile. With so many eyes around, it wasn't the best time to talk.
Davis ordered the hotel staff to prepare dinner for four and have it brought to the room.
Soon, a feast arrived. Among the dishes were cold Blue Silver Grass salad, spicy rabbit head, cream-baked sausage, roasted pheasant, tiger vegetable, and stewed spareribs. It was as if the entire Shrek Academy was represented by the food.
Blue Silver Grass represented Tang San, the rabbit head was for Xiao Wu, sausage for Oscar, pheasant for Ma Hongjun, tiger vegetable for Dai Mubai, and the spareribs? That was clearly for that useless "master" with the pig martial spirit.
After a few glasses of juice, Davis asked again, "Rongrong, now that it's just us, what did you want to discuss? Did my idiotic brother cause trouble at school again?
If so, don't worry. I'll head to Shrek Academy soon. If he dared to bully you, I'll beat the nonsense out of him!"
"Can you please speak properly?" Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but pinch his waist and glare. "We're eating! Use civilized language."
"Ahem, alright, alright." Davis smiled awkwardly. "Rongrong, don't worry. If that brat gives you trouble, I promise he'll regret it."
"No, no, Boss Dai is very good to us. He didn't bully anyone. I came for another reason."
"Oh? What is it?"
"It's…" Ning Rongrong hesitated, then gritted her teeth and asked, "Brother Dai, your spirit mutated, right? And became even more powerful?"
"Yes, that's true."
Davis nodded. The mutation was no secret. And as he replied, he quickly guessed what she was after.
"Brother Dai, can you tell me how to evolve a martial spirit and make it more powerful? This is really important to me."
Ning Rongrong then explained the limitations of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tiles Pagoda, finally looking at Davis with pleading eyes.
"Brother Dai, please... tell me how to evolve my spirit."
"Well…" Davis hesitated.
Just then, Ning Rongrong languidly handed him a black card.
"Brother Dai, here are five million gold soul coins—just a little token of appreciation!"
Oh… You… In the future, when the White Tiger Legion expands its army, this sum will come in handy…
"Ahem… Rongrong, you're too generous. Honestly, this isn't a secret that can't be shared."
"In fact, I found a treasure land in the Star Luo Empire—one filled with natural herbs and miraculous plants. These herbs are formed by heaven and earth. As long as you take the right ones, you can repair flaws in your martial spirit and even enhance its quality."
Davis told Ning Rongrong about the immortal herbs, but deliberately concealed the existence of the Yin-Yang Eyes and claimed they were located within the Star Luo Empire.
This way, whether Ning Rongrong or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tiles Sect wanted to obtain more herbs, they would have to come to him—and he could profit handsomely in the process.
