At the dinner table, the three of them exchanged toasts.
At first, Ning Rongrong barely spoke, but gradually, after a few rounds of drinks, her emotions rose, and she began to talk.
Zhuge Lan also apologized to Ning Rongrong at the dinner table.
Then, Ning Rongrong started scolding Zhuge Lan, and her words were quite harsh.
As she scolded, Ning Rongrong began to cry. Dugu Bo gave Zhuge Lan a look, and Zhuge Lan understood. He slowly walked over and embraced Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong sobbed, saying,
"Zhuge Lan, haven't I been good to you? Why do you treat me like this?"
Zhuge Lan quickly said,
"Rongrong, I was wrong. It won't happen again."
Ning Rongrong bit down on Zhuge Lan's shoulder, seemingly venting her anger there.
After a while, she let go.
A few hours later, it was getting late, and they had finished most of the wine.
Ning Rongrong looked at Zhuge Lan and said,
"Brother Zhuge, will you listen to me?"
Zhuge Lan felt helpless. At this point, whether he listened or not, he could only say he would listen; there was no other way. So he said,
"Of course, I will."
Ning Rongrong nodded and said,
"From tomorrow onwards, you will work with me. Without my command, you are not allowed to leave my side."
Zhuge Lan nodded, though he was somewhat reluctant. After all, he was used to freedom, and being constrained was very uncomfortable. But he had no choice now; he had to do it.
He then said,
"Understood."
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Inside an exquisite building, several people stood, two of whom were Zhuge Lan and Ning Rongrong.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong was looking through files, clearly busy with something.
Zhuge Lan sat by the side drinking tea, as he was not suitable to view those confidential documents. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples beside him treated him as a hero and were quite enthusiastic towards him.
He was quite pleased about this.
After some time, Ning Rongrong finished handling the documents in her hand. She looked at the leisurely Zhuge Lan, glared at him, and then said,
"A distinguished guest has arrived; we need to welcome them."
Zhuge Lan's eyes lit up, and he asked,
"Rongrong, who is the distinguished guest?"
Ning Rongrong said,
"It's Liu Erlong of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, bringing a team of people to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Zhuge Lan's face showed excitement. He and Liu Erlong had a very good relationship, but they hadn't had a chance to meet before. After all, she was in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and it wasn't easy to visit.
Moreover, he hadn't had the time. Now, being able to meet Liu Erlong through this Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Soul Master competition was truly wonderful.
"Alright, then let's go greet them!"
Ning Rongrong nodded, then pondered for a moment, seemingly thinking about something, and continued,
"It's like this: later, please show more respect to Senior Liu Erlong. After all, when you forcibly broke into Spirit Hall, I went to various Sects for help, hoping they would confront Spirit Hall together. But apart from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, almost all other Sects refused."
Zhuge Lan was stunned. He hadn't expected such a thing to have happened. He felt a touch of emotion.
Liu Erlong and he had a very good relationship. When he encountered difficulties, Liu Erlong, with her bold personality, would definitely have gone to save him.
He also held admiration for Liu Erlong in his heart.
He then said,
"Don't worry, Senior Liu Erlong is good to me, and I will be good to Senior Liu Erlong as well."
Ning Rongrong nodded.
She then said,
"I suggest you give Liu Erlong a gift. Don't you have all sorts of miraculous items? Take one out and give it to Senior Liu Erlong."
Zhuge Lan nodded, but he also felt a bit bitter. Before, Rongrong used to call him 'Brother, Brother.' Now she only calls him by name, no longer 'Brother.' How helpless!
But he had no good way to quickly mend this relationship; he could only rely on time and sincerity to make up for it.
Giving a gift to Senior Liu Erlong was appropriate, after all, Senior Liu Erlong had helped him when he was in danger before.
As for what gift to give, he was still pondering.
Senior Liu Erlong's Spirit was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but it wasn't a complete Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon; it had flaws.
So, could he find an item in the system store that could enhance and evolve Spirits, preferably one specifically for dragons?
Thus, he began to search.
Ning Rongrong, seeing Zhuge Lan in a daze, said impatiently,
"Let's go, follow me."
Zhuge Lan nodded and followed behind Ning Rongrong, but his mind was entirely on the system store, continuously searching for items and refreshing the daily store.
After a long time, he finally found one.
When he saw the symbol representing a divine-grade item, his eyes lit up.
It was truly good to be able to find a divine-grade item at this time.
[Tears of the Dragon] The tears of an ancient true dragon. It is said that creatures with dragon bloodlines will become incredibly powerful after absorbing them.
A smile appeared on his lips. It seemed this time was a sure thing.
Ning Rongrong, seeing Zhuge Lan smiling, showed a puzzled expression and asked,
"What are you smiling about?"
Zhuge Lan slowly said,
"Nothing, I just picked out the gift for Senior Liu Erlong."
Ning Rongrong's lips pouted slightly, then she said impatiently,
"You're so proactive about giving gifts to others, but so slow about giving me a gift."
Zhuge Lan felt bitter inside. It wasn't that he didn't want to give Ning Rongrong a gift, but the gift he gave Leng Xiaoxue before had been a disaster, directly blowing up the atmosphere.
As a result, he didn't dare to give Ning Rongrong a gift. Now, Ning Rongrong asking him for a gift was, frankly, a good thing. It meant that she was forgiving him for that previous incident.
He said happily,
"Rongrong, of course, I'll give you a gift. What kind of gift do you want?"
Ning Rongrong thought for a moment, then said with distaste,
"I don't like rabbits or doll-like things. As for what I like? Can't you observe my habits carefully and then make a choice?"
Zhuge Lan's heart sank. She brought up that rabbit again. He was speechless.
Although she didn't say it directly, the hint was so obvious.
But he couldn't say anything, only,
"I understand. I will choose carefully."
In the distance, a team of people gradually approached. One could clearly feel the domineering aura—this was the irritable aura of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
Clearly, this was the team from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Zhuge Lan was somewhat expectant. He wondered what Senior Liu Erlong would look like after not seeing her for so long!
Ning Rongrong's expression also became serious. She then said earnestly to Zhuge Lan behind her,
"Brother Zhuge, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's team has arrived. You must also be serious later."
