"Mhm."
The delicate body in his arms nodded, but the sobbing didn't stop. If Ning Bei had truly met with misfortune, she didn't know what meaning there would be in continuing her assessment on Sea God Island.
"Good girl, don't cry anymore. Save it for when the little brothers and sisters below see you making a fool of yourself. The big sister crying like a baby, how embarrassing!"
"Pfft."
Ning Bei's words made Dugu Yan burst into laughter, and she playfully slapped Ning Bei's chest in annoyance.
"You're so annoying."
"You did well just now. The advantage was established the moment you entered. That's what a control type spirit master should do."
"Do you need to tell me that?"
Ning Bei raised an eyebrow. Good heavens, has she been with Ning Rongrong for too long that she can't take a compliment anymore? Tonight, I'll find you to release the flood, two years' worth.
As they landed on the whale king's back, there was inevitably another round of conversation. After learning about everyone's experiences over the past two years, Ning Bei didn'tstingy his praise, giving them high evaluations.
However, Ning Rongrong still only showed him the back of her head, which made him feel a bit helpless. In the end, he could only use his ultimate move.
"Oh dear, I also brought a gift from Mom for you. It seems some people don't want it."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong's body trembled, but she ultimately gritted her teeth and didn't turn around. I'm still angry, how can I forgive this bad guy so easily? Where would I put my face?
"Hmm, it seems you really don't want it. Never mind, Yanzi, I'll give it to you. You're considered part of the Ning Family too."
Dugu Yan found the interaction between the siblings amusing and then nodded in cooperation, extending her jade hand towards Ning Bei.
"Give it here."
As expected, upon hearing that her gift was about to slip away, Ning Rongrong could no longer hold back. She stepped forward, pushed Dugu Yan aside, and clung to Ning Bei's arm.
"Oh dear, you and sister-in-law aren't married yet, she's not part of the Ning Family. The gift from Mom should naturally be mine."
"But it seems someone doesn't want to talk to me."
"Who? Who doesn't want to talk to the most handsome, best brother in the world? Tell me, and I, this young lady, won't be done with them."
Ning Rongrong immediately put her hands on her hips in anger and glared at the Little Rabbit, looking like she was protecting her young.
"Xiao Wu, was it you?"
The smile on the Little Rabbit's face instantly froze. She pointed at her nose and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"You... you're a dog, aren't you!"
The Little Rabbit, who hadn't expected to get caught up in the gossip, immediately glared back in anger, but Ning Rongrong was completely unmoved and turned back to look at her brother.
"Brother, look, I've checked. No one is ignoring you. Quickly give me the gift."
"Gift? What gift?"
Ning Bei shrugged, looking at his sister with a puzzled expression. Ning Rongrong also instantly froze in place, and after a moment, a gasp of surprise erupted.
"Ah!!! You big liar, I'll bite you to death."
Reaching out and pressing down on Ning Rongrong's forehead, the little girl immediately started spinning in place like a windmill, but no matter what, she couldn't touch Ning Bei.
After a while, the exhausted Ning Rongrong walked to the side, glaring fiercely at her unscrupulous older brother, who pretended not to see her.
Once everyone had finished catching up, Poseidon Se finally appeared on the whale's back at the opportune moment.
"Your assessment was completed quite well. You basically killed the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale King together without relying on Xiao Bai's strength. I deem the assessment passed."
"Yay, that's great."
Poseidon Se's words made everyone cheer again. After all, they had been preparing for this encirclement for nearly a year.
But Poseidon Se's next words quickly poured a bucket of cold water over everyone's heads.
"Don't be too happy too soon. The upcoming fifth trial will require you to defeat all the Seven Holy Pillar Guardians within thirty-six hours. This time, all your opponents will be Titled Douluo. The time limit is also one year. You must prepare well."
With that, Poseidon Se left without looking back, leaving the little ones looking at each other in dismay.
"No way? Defeat seven Titled Douluo, us?"
Ning Rongrong looked at everyone, then pointed to herself. Having often nestled in the arms of Sword and Bone when she was young, she was the one among them who understood the terror of a Titled Douluo the most. Dugu Yan, who had a Titled Douluo grandfather, also had a very serious expression at this moment. The cheerful atmosphere from just moments ago vanished without a trace, and the mood became heavy for a time.
"Alright, didn't you defeat the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale King together? Why are you afraid of Titled Douluo now?"
"In my opinion, the only difficult part of this trial is the thirty-six-hour time limit. The strength of a Titled Douluo might not even be as great as that Evil Spirit Tiger Whale King."
Ning Bei clapped his hands at the right time to attract everyone's attention and quickly gave them a shot of confidence. The little ones' eyes instantly lit up.
"That's right, Second Young Master is right. Haven't we already defeated the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale King? Why should we be afraid of the Pillar Guardians?"
"Exactly, with my assistance, passing the fifth trial will definitely be a piece of cake."
Just as the little ones regained their confidence, an untimely laugh interrupted them. Everyone looked over and saw Xiao Bai, having returned to human form, lying on the water and laughing heartily.
"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter."
"Stinky Xiao Bai, what's so funny!"
The Little Rabbit was very displeased. We just helped you deal with a great enemy, and you're mocking us like this?
"No, I don't doubt that you can defeat the Seven Holy Pillars, but completing it within thirty-six hours is absolutely impossible. It seems Sea God is sincerely not wanting you to pass the assessment."
Seeing Xiao Bai look down on their group, Xiao Wu's teeth itched with anger, but before fighting, it was hard for her to refute the other party.
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong raised an eyebrow and came to her little sister's side, saying teasingly:
"Xiao Wu, did you feel like what she just said sounded familiar?"
"Huh? Did it?"
The Little Rabbit, who didn't know what her little sister wanted to say, immediately looked confused.
"Didn't a certain stupid shark say the same thing to us when we crossed the Ring Sea? In the end, that stupid shark's face was as black as the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale King's."
"Pfft, Rongrong, you're right. We did hear those words just now. What was that shark's name again? I forgot."
Their words made Xiao Bai's face as black as the bottom of a pot. That was an experience she considered a lifelong humiliation, and what was even more heartbreaking was that the Little Rabbit had brought the topic back to her at the right time.
"Xiao Bai, do you know that stupid shark?"
"You..."
Seeing Xiao Bai's angry yet helpless expression, the Little Rabbit immediately made a triumphant face at her, and the little bit of depression in her heart instantly vanished without a trace.
"Hmph, seeing as you helped deal with the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale King, I won't argue with you. Good luck."
With that, Xiao Bai fled, transforming into a great white shark and diving into the sea, leaving the area. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, these girls would infuriate her to death.
"Alright, Nami, quickly absorb the spirit ring. We'll protect you."
Interrupting his children who were still mocking Xiao Bai, Ning Bei immediately urged Nami to absorb the spirit ring as quickly as possible, because the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale King's blood was likely to attract a large number of Sea Soul Beasts.
"Yes, Master."
