Chapter 79 – The Little Witch's True Nature, Ning Rongrong's Little Scheme
Qi Tian listened to the trembling, almost tearful voice echoing in his mind and felt a hint of sympathy.
Even so, he first turned his senses inward, checking the Martial Soul in this borrowed body.
Within the dantian stood a seven-story pagoda. Each floor was inlaid with a different kind of gemstone, radiating a dazzling, multicolored brilliance.
'Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? So it's her.' Qi Tian immediately recognized the Martial Soul.
With that, he more or less guessed the identity of this body—she should be Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
"Little girl, don't be afraid. I'm only borrowing your body for one day," Qi Tian comforted her.
She listened to the voice transmitted by Qi Tian's spiritual power, but she was not much at ease.
Yes, she was spoiled and had the temper of a princess, but that was only because she was the precious daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Within the sect, aside from Ning Fengzhi's strictness, everyone pampered her and catered to her every whim. She grew up with countless people circling around her.
Being born a princess comes with a princess's temperament.
But now, her body had been taken over and completely slipped from her control. Her status as a young miss meant nothing at this moment.
Panic surged within her—especially since Qi Tian had earlier touched her soft little buns, causing her mind to spiral in all the wrong directions.
"I don't want this! Please leave my body, okay? I can give you gold soul coins, all kinds of jewels!" Ning Rongrong pleaded.
Qi Tian's eyes brightened. "Gold Soul Coins? Jewels? You have those?"
Ning Rongrong finally exhaled in relief. Money and treasures were things she could control. If the strange entity possessing her liked wealth, then things were still negotiable.
"Yes! Yes, I do! In the soul tool on my left hand, there's a gold soul coin bank card and several precious gemstones. You can have them!"
Qi Tian lowered his gaze to her left wrist and couldn't help praising, "Tsk, tsk… so 'snow-white wrists like frosty jade' really wasn't an exaggeration."
Her skin was flawless—better than a newborn's, truly an elite-tier character model.
He withdrew his gaze and focused on the soul tool at her wrist. Injecting soul power, he viewed its contents.
A gold soul coin black card, several exceptionally valuable gems, and a small pile of gold soul coins.
"Little girl, if I'm not mistaken, this gold soul coin card is probably a registered card, right?"
"And these gemstones… they look like rare treasures only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could obtain. So you were trying to harm me, weren't you?"
Qi Tian wasn't ignorant—he had owned bank cards from money houses before. How could he not know what unregistered cards looked like?
As for the gemstones, that was just his deduction.
"I—I wasn't!" Ning Rongrong panicked. She didn't expect her little scheme to be exposed so easily.
If Qi Tian really took that card to a money house, he would be exposed immediately. And the gemstones were indeed part of her private collection—treasures only those with exceptional Seven Treasure Glazed Tile martial soul could sense.
"Forget it. I won't bother arguing with you. I don't want anything else—the small pile of gold soul coins is enough for me," Qi Tian said.
That small pile alone was worth at least a few thousand—more than enough for him to enjoy for a while.
Ning Rongrong let out a breath of relief. As long as he didn't continue messing with her body, this amount of money was nothing.
But the next moment, she witnessed something unforgettable—the entire pile of gold soul coins vanished into thin air.
"What ability is that…?" Ning Rongrong couldn't sense anything at all.
Qi Tian wasn't a bad person. Since he took her money, he naturally intended to give her something in return.
He planned to let her eat a piece of whale rubber to strengthen her physique, helping her absorb a high-quality third soul ring.
Of course… The money to buy whale rubber still had to come from Ning Rongrong. So there was no need to rush.
"Little girl, thanks for the gold soul coins."
Qi Tian stretched lazily. "So, tell me—what plans do you have for today? Since I'm using your identity, it'd be bad if I accidentally broke some taboo."
Ning Rongrong's eyes flickered with calculation.
"This senior, my name is Ning Rongrong, from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. You can just call me Rongrong!"
"Today I have to attend classes at our sect academy. Please don't make me late," she said earnestly.
Qi Tian nodded. "Alright, let me wash up first. Then you'll guide me to your sect's academy."
He had his own goals—he wanted to learn the Heart Separation Control Technique stored within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. With it, he could perfect his combination soul skill, Blue Silver Spear Formation.
This secret technique was mandatory for the inner disciples of the sect, so the sect academy should teach it.
Ning Rongrong watched as Qi Tian skillfully washed her face, dressed her, and even styled her hair. Her entire body—her entire body—had been seen by him.
'If I had known, I would never have slept in that thin nightgown!' She regretted it so much her toes curled.
'And why is he so skilled at this?! He must have used this perverted possession skill on countless innocent girls!'
Seeing Qi Tian so adept at wearing women's clothes and grooming a girl, she naturally reached this conclusion.
And she was certain—Qi Tian was definitely not a woman. What woman wakes up and immediately grabs her own chest?!
Once Qi Tian finished tidying up, he followed Ning Rongrong's guidance toward the sect academy.
Along the way, Qi Tian's eyes widened. The area was filled with majestic castle-like buildings.
But the building housing their sect academy was even more luxurious than the rest.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect really is wealthy… even their basic academy is built like this?" Qi Tian praised sincerely.
Ning Rongrong felt a twinge of guilt and replied, "Of course! Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect never lacks money!"
Following her instructions, Qi Tian entered the ornate castle.
Inside, he discovered a sizable training arena.
At the center sat an elderly man in white, holding a long sword. His eyes were half-closed, and soul power drifted around him like an invisible sword. His aura was incredibly sharp.
Qi Tian felt a stinging pressure on his skin just by looking at him.
"What a terrifyingly sharp aura…" Qi Tian was stunned.
Ning Rongrong hurriedly whispered, "That's my teacher! Go greet him!"
"I don't believe," Qi Tian muttered inwardly.
With such an overwhelming aura, there was only one person in the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect who could match it—Sword Douluo, Chen Xin.
Qi Tian had met Chen Xin several times back when he possessed Qian Renxue. How could he not recognize him?
If he walked up and called him "teacher," he would expose himself instantly.
Ning Rongrong really was still trying to trick him.
Feeling someone approach, Chen Xin slowly opened his eyes. The piercing sharpness faded instantly, replaced by a gentle, scholarly presence similar to Ning Fengzhi.
"Grandpa Sword!" Qi Tian greeted.
Ning Rongrong froze.
He… actually knew Sword Douluo?
He even knew the nickname she had used since childhood?
Her little ploy failed. And he seemed so familiar with her—could he be someone from her sect?
"Hehe, Rongrong, what trouble have you gotten into this time?" Chen Xin asked with a warm laugh.
