Chapter 303.
"I feel the same way!" Dai Mubai said in a deep voice.
"Wang Feng is also the most amazing young man I have ever seen in my life. He won't die so easily..."
As he spoke, Dai Mubai's eyes suddenly widened! Because he saw three figures walking down from the towering steps of the Pope's Palace!
The rest of the people also stared blankly but they couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling!
These three people were Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and... Zhu Zhuqing. But there was no Wang Feng.
Soon, the three of them arrived in front of everyone in Shrek Academy. Ning Fengzhi first placed Zhu Zhuqing beside Liu Erlong. The light in Ning Rongrong's eyes disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This child..." Liu Erlong glanced at Zhu Zhuqing and her heart sank. Ning Fengzhi shook his head, looked at Sword Douluo, and –then recounted what had just happened.
After listening, everyone was stunned.
"Zhuqing, she..." Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing, tears welling up in her eyes.
"It was supposed to be me... why not me..."
"You mean Zhuqing is dead?" Liu Erlong frowned slightly and suddenly put her palm on Zhu Zhuqing's chest, exclaiming, "No, Zhuqing still has a heartbeat and her injuries seem to be recovering..."
Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi were stunned. Sword Douluo quickly came to Zhu Zhuqing, placed his palm on her wrist, and sensed her soul power.
"She's really not dead... But how is this possible?" Sword Douluo was incredulous. He had already determined that the girl was dead, so he had not checked her further. But now it was clear that although she was unconscious, her heart was still beating and her body's injuries were also quickly recovering. She would wake up –soon!
"I remember Xiao Feng used Golden Lotus on her to help her recover," Ning Fengzhi frowned. "Could it be because of that?" But that blow was from Pope Bibi Dong, and had shattered the girl's heart almost instantly! No matter how strong the healing power is, it shouldn't be able to heal her from that, right?
"It might be," the Grandmaster said in a deep voice. "The strongest aspect of Xiaofeng's Chaos Green Lotus martial soul is the first Golden Lotus, which has a powerful healing and restoring ability. As long as there is even a breath of life left, it can save anyone! Xiaofeng may have used the Golden Lotus to heal her, it just might take some time to recover."
This explanation made sense. Only Sword Douluo frowned as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing's heart, feeling a little uneasy. There seemed to be a very special energy constantly repairing her body. But when she was hit by Bibi Dong, he didn't notice it. At that time, she only had a breath or two left, and Sword Douluo could see that clearly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come forward. At that time, he didn't see anything unusual about her heart.
'Is it again something related to that kid?' Sword Douluo wondered. 'What method did he use? Did he give this girl's heart such a powerful function?'
Soon, Zhu Zhuqing groaned and slowly regained consciousness. The strength of the Meteoric Tears was beyond imagination. Speaking of injuries, Wang Feng had suffered more injuries than Zhu Zhuqing because Bibi Dong had recovered a bit of strength while dealing the second blow. But even with those injuries, Wang Feng could quickly recover after escaping. However, Zhu Zhuqing was at a loss.
Although the Meteoric Tears temporarily merged with her heart and repaired her body, she couldn't use it at all.
"I... Am I not dead?" Although very weak, Zhu Zhuqing was still awake and thought she had died. Died in Wang Feng's arms.
Everyone was silent.
At the next moment, Zhu Zhuqing asked a question that everyone was extremely concerned about, "Wang Feng?"
Ning Rongrong trembled and looked at Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo suddenly.
"Don't worry, he is not dead," Ning Fengzhi suddenly smiled and said.
"After he handed you over to us, he used a special method to leave... He was fine, we saw it with our own eyes. Yes, when he handed you over to us, he said don't be sad. He went to a mysterious place to cultivate further. Did you all make an agreement? He said he will meet you all after five years…."
On the eve of the final battle, the Shrek Seven Devils and Wang Feng had made this agreement and they would meet again in Shrek Academy five years later.
However…
It's a lie!
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo didn't even see Wang Feng in the end. He told them this lie to stabilize Ning Rongrong and the others. Ning Fengzhi knew his daughter too well and also knew her feelings for Wang Feng.
Looking at Ning Rongrong about to rush out earlier had startled him into a cold sweat.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
At this time, Sword Douluo also nodded and said, "Yes, what Fengzhi said is true."
As a Titled Douluo, it was impossible for him to lie.
"Really? Dad? You are not lying to me?" Ning Rongrong asked blankly.
"Dad didn't lie to you..." Ning Fengzhi said with a smile. "The kid also said that you should practice hard. The next time you meet, he will beat you all up."
Everyone: "..."
It seemed that it was indeed something Wang Feng would say. For a moment, the faces of the five people couldn't help but relax.
"Especially you, Rongrong!" Ning Fengzhi walked over and whispered.
"That kid said you must practice hard and he will definitely be the first to come to you then! Come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect to find you. You must take good care not to let him see that you have a low soul power level and become an ugly girl. That kid might just turn around and leave."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong's cheeks flushed, and she whispered, "Did he really say that? The first he will come to is me?"
Ning Fengzhi nodded his head but his heart was slightly sour, 'Daughter, five years should be enough to dilute your feelings for this kid. When you find out that Dad was lying to you, I hope you can understand.'
Suddenly, Ning Rongrong's eyes were full of brilliance and her face was radiant.
"Moreover, he was able to cure Zhuqing, how can he not even protect himself?" Ning Fengzhi laughed a few times. "So you should still consider your future plans. By then, He will definitely meet you."
Everyone nodded and believed Ning Fengzhi's words firmly.
The group discussed, and Dai Mubai wanted to return to the Star Luo Empire. Oscar and Ma Hongjun planned to travel the mainland together while practicing. Ning Rongrong also planned to return to the her Sect.
After all, Shrek Academy had offended the Soul Hall and it was not suitable to stay in the academy any longer.
'Five years...' Zhu Zhuqing was supported by Liu Erlong, touching the energy gushing from her heart. 'Wang Feng, did you do this?'
'I'll wait for you after five years. If you don't show up, I'll wait for ten, twenty or even all my lifetime for you...'
...…..
A bonfire flickered in the quiet forest. Tang San woke up suddenly and looked around, not knowing where he was. Only his father, dressed in black garb, was beside him, and Xiao Wu was nowhere to be seen. The last scene in his memory was Zhuqing rushing towards Brother Feng before his father fell and took him and Xiao Wu away.
"Dad…" Tang San looked at Tang Hao by the bonfire, feeling a thousand words but not knowing how to speak. Where had Xiao Wu gone? How was Brother Feng? And where is everyone else?
"I told her to leave," Tang Hao said indifferently. "You're not suitable for being together with her now. Wait until you become stronger, otherwise, being together will only harm you both."
Tang San's heart beat rapidly. His father meant they weren't suitable now, but they might be in the future? Did his father agree with him being with Xiao Wu? This thought made Tang San's eyes feel sour. He had already noticed Xiao Wu's problem when his Purple Demon Eye evolved, but even so, he hadn't thought of leaving her or his feelings have changed. If he had a choice, he would always choose to be with Xiao Wu, never abandoning her because of her identity. But now, his father seemed to have no objections as long as he is strong enough.
"For the past eight years, I haven't been by your side. You must hate me," Tang Hao said, throwing a branch into the bonfire, causing a burst of sparks.
Tang San shook his head. "I don't hate you. I know you've been secretly protecting me… I just have a lot of questions…"
At this moment, –Tang Hao waved his hand, interrupting him. "Keep the questions in your heart. The only thing you need to do now is become stronger! Understand? I will personally train you until you are as strong as I think is necessary. Otherwise, your training will continue. Can you bear it?"
"If you can't, you can choose to live quietly in a village like I used to…"
Tang Hao hadn't finished speaking when Tang San firmly said, "No, I can bear any training!"
Tang Hao was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly. "Good."
After a moment of silence, Tang San asked again, "Dad, how is Brother Feng?"
Hearing this, Tang Hao was startled and replied in a deep voice, "Xiaofeng's talent and aptitude far surpasses mine. The Soul Hall won't let him go. But Xiaofeng has many secrets. He'll surely find a way to escape."
