Chapter 465.

At first, Wang Feng hadn't figured out Ning Rongrong's situation, but later on, he began to understand.

After all, back then, Ning Rongrong was clinging to the White Pontiff, saying a bunch of cringe-worthy things—like offering herself to him, promising big things, and so on. If it had been someone she loved, it would've made sense. But it turned out she had done all that to their enemy...

She had been tricked by her own feelings.

And now, it had become a knot in her heart.

"What can I do? I'm completely useless to you!"

Ning Rongrong let out a soft snort. "A woman who can't help the man she loves is worthless. My mother, at the very least, could protect my father and helped him carry forward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect. But I... I can only hold you back..."

Wang Feng's heart stirred. He suddenly recalled that, according to the rules of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect, Ning Fengzhi must've married a very powerful woman.

Tsk tsk, looks like the man had no power in the household either—probably a wife guy too.

"It's fine. My legs are strong enough—you won't drag me down," Wang Feng said.

"..." Ning Rongrong burst into giggles. "Wang Feng, stop being so annoying! Why do you always make me laugh? What's the point of me, really?"

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. For a while, her emotions were all over the place—but she didn't feel hopeless anymore.

"Girls can have children. Us men can't," Wang Feng said after a moment's thought.

"..." Ning Rongrong blushed, then suddenly shouted in mock anger, "Wang Feng! Are you treating girls like baby-making machines? You're objectifying women!"

Wang Feng: "..."

'Rongrong, do you want to become a feminist warrior now? Coming at me hard!'

But Wang Feng had meant it as a joke. Sure enough, he heard her mumble shyly:

"But... I'd be willing to have your child... hehe."

Wang Feng smiled.

In the face of true feelings, who cares about being a female warrior?

"Wang Feng, why are you still wearing that mask?" Ning Rongrong asked, turning around and gently touching the cold surface.

"I'm disfigured and ugly. Not the best time to take it off—I might scare you," Wang Feng said casually.

But when Ning Rongrong heard this, she suddenly looked excited. "Really? That's awesome!"

Wang Feng: "..."

'Huh? What do you mean?'

Are you... happy that I've become ugly?

"If you're ugly, then I'll feel like I'm a better match for you. Hehe... I am a super beautiful woman, after all," she said with a playful laugh.

Wang Feng was stunned for a second, then gently patted her head. What a silly girl.

Even though her logic was a bit twisted, Wang Feng could tell that deep down, Ning Rongrong really felt unworthy of him.

'Sigh... I'm just too amazing. It's lonely at the top.'

Forget it. Let her think that way—for now, it'll help ease her heart.

After chatting a little longer, Wang Feng brought Ning Rongrong back to the Grandmaster.

"Hey, Brother Feng really works wonders," Ma Hongjun laughed. "Look at Rongrong now—she's blooming! She's like a different person."

Wang Feng returned with Ning Rongrong.

"Fatty, do you have a death wish?" Ning Rongrong snorted. "I can't beat you myself, but my Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone can turn you into roasted chicken!"

Ma Hongjun casually picked his nose, clearly not intimidated. But the fact that they could hear Ning Rongrong's sharp words so clearly meant she was doing just fine.

Everyone's faces began to brighten with smiles.

Only Zhu Zhuqing quietly glanced at Wang Feng.

This time, the Seven Shrek Monsters were finally all reunited.

"Is this Xiao Wu?" Wang Feng asked, looking at the little rabbit nestled in Tang San's arms, a faint sigh in his eyes.

Xiao Wu's words from the past still echoed in his ears. To be willing to give one's life for another—this was love in its purest, most extreme form.

Wang Feng felt a tinge of emotion. At present, Tang San's soul power level was two levels higher than his own.

At the same time, his physical attributes had likely improved significantly. Wang Feng was well aware of the power of a 100,000-year soul ring, having experienced it himself.

Xiao Wu's soul ring had been offered to Tang San willingly and wholeheartedly, resulting in a perfect fusion. It also contained her own strength, which made the outcome even more ideal for a soul master.

On top of that, this kind of sacrifice involved the soul itself, which greatly enhanced Tang San's spiritual power.

There were absolutely no side effects.

Of course, Wang Feng –had his own set of advantages. He could also absorb 100,000-year soul rings flawlessly, especially since he had two, both enhanced by the system's bonuses, fully integrated without any backlash.

The little rabbit blinked its big eyes at Wang Feng, looking adorably curious.

Tang San nodded and suddenly said, "Teacher, my soul bone seems to have undergone some changes. Could you take a look at it? I haven't been able to figure out what's going on with it on the way here."

Tang San's current set of soul bones was slightly inferior to Wang Feng's.

He had two 100,000-year soul bones, a 60,000-year skull, and an external soul bone with growth potential.

Wang Feng was intrigued—what could be happening with Tang San's soul bone?

"Oh? Come here, let me have a look," the Grandmaster said, eyes narrowing. "Even Titled Douluos rarely possess soul bones. Unusual changes can happen, and many of them haven't been studied in detail. If you notice anything odd, you must do your best to control it—don't let it develop in the wrong direction."

"Third Brother should have two 100,000-year soul bones now, right?" Oscar guessed aloud. "I only have one... and it's just a bit over 20,000 years old."

Oscar's soul bone came from a Mirror Beast—a unique type of soul beast.

"I have two," said Dai Mubai, shaking his head. "Both are around sixty or seventy thousand years old. One came from the imperial family, and the other I acquired myself over the years."

"I've got two as well," Ma Hongjun grinned. "One was given to us by the Captain during the battle at the Supreme Pontiff Palace, and the other one I stumbled upon while traveling with Oscar these past years."

"Two pieces," Zhu Zhuqing also nodded softly.

One of hers had been given to her by Wang Feng at the Supreme Pontiff's Palace, and the other was inherited from her family.

The Zhu family was one of the leading families of the Star Luo Empire and possessed their own soul bone legacy.

In fact, most major sects and noble families had at least one or two soul bones passed down through generations.

If a family member died, their soul bones would be passed on to the next generation.

Wang Feng suspected that the lack of visible Titled Douluos in the Soul Hall might have something to do with Bibi Dong collecting all the soul bones herself...

After all, she was rumored to be close to possessing a complete set.

Although Wang Feng had never seen it himself, Hu Liena had mentioned it before.

"I've got two as well," said Ning Rongrong. "But nothing as outrageous as Third Brother's 100,000-year soul bones."

One of her soul bones was a skull gifted to her by Wang Feng, around 30,000 years old.

The other was a present from her father, Ning Fengzhi.
