Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Marry? Of course I’ll marry!
In the house at Spirit City, Kong, Raiden Shogun, Ei, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling were gathered together.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had previously followed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to Sea God Island to cultivate.
A year ago, Kong brought the two of them back to the Douluo Continent.
"Kong, how much longer until Sister Xue completes her divine trial?"
Ye Lingling held onto Kong's right arm and asked softly.
They had been here for quite a while now, and both she and Dugu Yan had already met Qian Renxue.
To this day, they still didn't know that Xue Qinghe had always been Qian Renxue in disguise.
As for why Ye Lingling asked this…
"At most a year, at the shortest three months. Sister Xue will definitely become a god."
Kong gently stroked her delicate hand and looked at Ye Lingling as he spoke.
Hearing this, Ye Lingling's eyes revealed a trace of anticipation.
Because Kong had once said that once Qian Renxue was done with her "duties," he would hold a proper wedding for everyone!
Men marry when they come of age, and so do women.
Even though they were already together, there hadn't been an official ceremony. There was a bit of regret.
Making up for the wedding was definitely necessary.
"Kong, do you remember the time we went to Soto City together?"
"I said then that I'd bring Lingling along."
Dugu Yan squinted her eyes and smiled.
Now, with the blessing of the divine trial, she had already reached the rank of Titled Douluo.
Kong recalled for a moment and realized Dugu Yan was telling the truth—she had indeed said that.
But to say it so openly, only Dugu Yan would do that.
Ye Lingling's face turned red, and she lowered her head without speaking.
Just then, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong walked in from outside.
Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance with Kong and blinked.
"Kong, I think Zhuqing and I aren't bad either. When the time comes, don't forget to marry us!"
Ning Rongrong said it without hesitation. Her intentions were well known.
Because of this, she had even obtained a Water Elemental Divine Eye.
After she spoke, Ning Rongrong stared at Kong, wanting to hear his answer.
She had chased this guy for so many years without a response.
She couldn't figure out what she and Zhu Zhuqing lacked. Did Kong really not like them?
Even if they weren't childhood sweethearts, they had been close since young.
And just because she had pranked him before…
Wait, her pranks had never even succeeded!
"Alright, my dear Miss Ning."
Kong answered without changing expression.
"Ah… what…"
"Hm?"
Ning Rongrong, who had prepared a whole speech, froze slightly as she looked at Kong's slightly raised lips, momentarily stunned.
"Kong…"
"You're saying you're willing to marry us? You're not joking?"
Suddenly, Ning Rongrong seemed to realize something and said with a bit of disappointment, "But I don't care whether you marry me or not."
"If it's not true affection, and you're only marrying me out of pity, then I, Ning Rongrong, would rather stay single forever."
Ning Rongrong said resolutely.
That kind of love wasn't what she yearned for.
To her, Kong was like a white moonlight—unreachable, yet perfect.
But one day, if that moonlight suddenly pitied her and agreed to be together, it would shatter her dream instead.
The moonlight shouldn't be like that…
Hearing this, Kong twitched slightly at the corner of his eye.
"Miss Ning, how long have we known each other?"
"Sixteen years and three months."
Ning Rongrong answered without even thinking.
"People are not grass or wood. How can they be emotionless?"
"Alright, maybe that doesn't apply to soul beasts."
Kong corrected the bug in his words mid-sentence.
"You're lively, cunning, and a little heartless."
"To someone who likes you, that's mischievous charm—it brightens up the atmosphere."
"To someone who doesn't like you, your scheming and pranks are torment."
"You once asked me, what do you have to do for me to like you."
"Honestly, hearing that made me not want to be with you. Why would you want to change yourself for me?"
"Would that really make you happy?"
"You are you. You're Ning Rongrong!"
"That cunning little witch was you. And the calm, mature you now is still you."
"My dear Miss Ning, I don't need you to change or make compromises for me."
"If you don't want to marry, then forget it. Oh right, I will marry Zhuqing. Right, Zhuqing?"
Kong winked at Zhu Zhuqing as he finished speaking.
"Mm!"
"???"
Ning Rongrong's head was filled with question marks. She was stunned.
When did Zhu Zhuqing "betray" her?
She watched as Zhu Zhuqing walked over to Kong and held onto his left arm.
"???"
"Hmph!"
"Marry? Of course I'll marry!"
"When the time comes, I'll have a bunch of kids and make you take care of them!"
Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips, and her lady-like image collapsed instantly.
Didn't Kong say to just be herself? Then she wouldn't pretend anymore. Time to lay all the cards out!
After so many years, this girl hadn't changed at all.
Well, it made sense. Apart from chasing Kong, Ning Rongrong hadn't encountered anything traumatic all these years, so naturally her personality didn't change much.
She had just mellowed out a little.
Even now, before the marriage even happened, she was already thinking about how to prank Kong.
"Rongrong, it's okay. I'll help you take care of them."
Zhu Zhuqing whispered.
"Zhu Zhuqing, I haven't even settled the score with you yet!"
"I always felt something was off before. Like there was something weird between you and Kong!"
"I didn't expect… you two were already together!"
Ning Rongrong looked like she was about to cry. She'd been helping her bestie make plans all along, only to find out her bestie had long since succeeded—and even reached the top.
She felt so upset!
"Rongrong, I did it so you wouldn't feel so bad."
"You don't know—every day you were talking about Kong this, Kong that…"
"I was afraid if I told you we were together, you'd lose it…"
Zhu Zhuqing said honestly.
This matter had already been going on for years!
Ning Rongrong: "0.o"
If you hadn't said anything, it'd be fine. Now that you did, it hurts even more!
"Ah…"
"I'm going to fight you!"
Ning Rongrong charged at Zhu Zhuqing in "rage."
But within moments, she was tied up by Zhu Zhuqing.
"Heh, a little support-type wants to fight? What are you going to fight with?"
Zhu Zhuqing crossed her arms, turned slightly, and smiled.
Ning Rongrong was totally stunned. Even though she had obtained the Divine Eye, it didn't change the fact that she was a support-type.
Her Divine Eye was still part of the support category—healing!
Faced with the strength of Zhu Zhuqing, who was already at level eighty-seven, Ning Rongrong had no way to resist.
"Kong, save me!"
Everyone: "…"
Wow, they thought Ning Rongrong had something up her sleeve, but she just directly summoned her man…
