The next morning, Tang Zhen woke up with Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu on both sides of him. Liu Erlong had gone to bed alone because she was too embarrassed. Soon both girls stirred and woke up.
"Good Morning Zhuqing, Xiao Wu." Tang Zhen said while still holding their rears.
Although they haven't had sex yet, they still explored a bit.
Blushing, both girls said Good Morning and got ready for the day.
After breakfast Tang Zhen told everyone what happened with Liu Erlong. Zhuqing and Xiao Wu were surprised and worried about her.
After hearing that Tang San and Dai Mubai were constantly with prostitutes, both of them were more disappointed than sad. After all they are Tang Zhen's women now.
Soon after, the girls told Tang Zhen about the discussion they had with Ning Rongrong and after finding her feelings genuine agreed to let her join the growing family. Tang Zhen initially surprised, but soon was overjoyed and lifting Rongrong up and spinning her around gave her a kiss leaving the poor girl a blubbering mess before passing out.
After that Tang Zhen gave Liu Erlong the Immortal Beauty Pill. As soon as he explained what the pill was used for she glomped him giving him a deep kiss. Leaving him dazed she went back to her room to take the pill.
Liu Erlong didn't come out of her room until the afternoon. When she came out, everyone was stunned and Tang Zhen's jaw dropped. Liu Erlong looked like she was 25 again, her breasts perked up, her rear tightened, legs slender. Her outfit might need to get resized as they were now too tight. Shedding tears of joy, she no longer had to worry about age and hugged her new sisters and left with them to go on a girls shopping trip.
Tang Zhen eager to see them in their underwear was drooling a bit ready to tag along but was soon on his knees getting scolded by all the girls for being a scoundrel. Thinking that women were troublesome, all of them formed a tick on their heads and for some reason wanted to hit him so they did leaving him a steaming pile on the ground.
After they came back they saw Tang Zhen frantically looking around the house for something. When they asked he said he was looking for his wallet and when they showed him his deflated wallet, a fly came out of it and Tang Zhen was in a corner with black lines on his head making circles on the ground muttering something about his poor wallet.
After a few make out sessions from the girls, Tang Zhen recovered and started training Liu Erlong and Ning Rongrong on soul power control and explained the benefits of it. After learning that these exercises and soul skills were only to be passed along to his wife and kids, they both had an atomic blush on their faces fantasizing about the future.
After a long day of practice, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan finally came back with another girl. She had a veil and was very delicate.
"Tang Zhen, meet my friend Ye Lingling." Dugu Yan said.
Tang Zhen was hoping this would be the person joining and walked over to her to introduce himself.
"Hello Lingling, my name is Tang Zhen. It's a pleasure to meet you." He said with a smile.
Ye Lingling blushed heavily under the veil she was wearing. Dugu Yan leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"See Lingling? I told you he was handsome. Much better than that Osler don't you think?" She said with a smirk.
"Mhm" Ye Lingling said and nodded timidly.
After exchanging pleasantries, they all had dinner at which point, Tang Zhen pulled out two immortal herbs. He gave the Beautiful Silk Tulip to Ning Rongrong and he gave the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to Liu Erlong.
After absorbing the herbs, Ning Rongrong's martial soul evolved from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. She also gained 6 levels but was capped at level 30 until she got her third soul ring. The effects would slowly increase as she grew.
As for Liu Erlong, she had the biggest jump. The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower morphed Liu Erlong's originally defective Flame Dragon and turned it into the Ultimate Flame Dragon putting it above the regular Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. She also jumped from level 74 to 78.
Ning Rongrong, having only heard about the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had eyes brimming with tears. This was undoubtedly a true heavenly treasure and Tang Zhen gave it to her.
Liu Erlong was speechless. For her whole life ever since she awakened her defective Flame Dragon, her clan has ostracized her for being weak. But now with her dragon's fire becoming Ultimate fire, she couldn't help but shed tears of joy.
Tang Zhen seeing them both like that smiled and after patting both of them on the head, he pulled them into his embrace saying reassuring words to them which melted their hearts further.
Ye Lingling was stunned. First the Immortal herbs and then realizing that this Tang Zhen was with multiple women. Although he is definitely the most handsome man she has ever met, she thought he was a scoundrel and these women were just simple women. But seeing his display of affection and the willingness to provide them with such treasures showed that he valued their love more than anything.
The rest of the girls gathered around and congratulated Ning Rongrong and Liu Erlong and were all having a great time.
Tang Zhen watched all of them together using the Sharingan to permanently imprint this moment. His expression then turned serious as he vowed in his heart that he would become stronger to protect them all and pave their way to godhood.
He planned to give whale glue to Rongrong and Erlong soon before they went out hunting for Rongrong's third soul ring.
"This is great! Tang Zhen, I just reached level 40! We can go out to get mine and Rongrong's rings together!" Dugu Yan exclaimed.
"Sister Yan Yan is also level 40?! That's great!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed happily.
"Mhm. Lingling is at level 32 too, her martial soul is the Nine Heart Begonia!"
Ning Rongrong knowing exactly what that is had wide eyes. Even her father had said that the Nine Heart Begonia was a martial soul that was comparable or better than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"That's incredible!" She exclaimed. Her little witch persona coming out, she turned to Tang Zhen.
"Big Brother Tang Zhen, Rongrong hasn't been home and she misses Papa, Grandpa Bone, and Grandpa Sword. Could we all go and visit them together?" She said with misty eyes.
"This little witch. Although this might be a good time to create some alliances." Tang Zhen thought.
"Alright let's head there and then go to the Star Dou Forest to get Yan Yan and Rongrong their soul rings." Tang Zhen said. Everyone else had no problems with that plan.
A month had passed and we see a weary Tang Zhen and the girls traveling to Rongrong's home.
Tang Zhen gave high aged whale glue to Rongrong and Liu Erlong. Both started to curse him out for being a pervert but after hearing the benefits of absorbing it, they hesitantly started.
Soon after the affects of the whale glue started to heat up Ning Rongrong and Liu Erlong's desires and they naturally turned to Tang Zhen. Although he was tempted, Zhu Zhuqing said she would castrate him with dull rocks if she wasn't his first.
Fearing for his descendants and Tang Zhen Jr. he had spent a significant time running and dodging the two heated women. In the Douluo continent, everyone seems to mature sooner making them look older than they are.
They finally calmed down after lots of dunks in the cold river and the benefits while not visible for Rongrong yet, helped Liu Erlong immensely. She could feel her physique had grown significantly stronger and the barrier for levels above her had weakened significantly. With the Immortal herb she consumed and the whale glue, she was confident she would be able to break through to level 80 soon.
Back on the road, they approached the entrance to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, the guards were startled seeing their young miss coming back home. They were also speechless about the group of beautiful young women but gave a fierce glare at the one man in the group.
Suddenly a voice boomed out,
"Our little princess has come home!"
Soon after a man wearing black armor with long black hair stepped out of nowhere. The group could feel an overwhelming aura emanating from him.
"Grandpa Bone!" Ning Rongrong shot out like a rocket to hug the man.
"Welcome home Rongrong." Bone Douluo said while patting her head. "Come, bring your friends inside."
Entering the main hall, we see Ning Rongrong swinging her feet while sitting on the center seat.
"Hmph. I rarely come home and father isn't here. Grandpa Bone do you think he's avoiding me on purpose?"
"My little princess, don't be angry. I'm sure he will be back soon." Bone Douluo said a little helplessly.
"Hmph. When he comes back I want some rewards from him for me and my sisters. Grandpa Bone you have to help me." Rongrong replied causing the other girls to giggle.
Hearing a sigh from the corner, Bone Douluo turned a sharp gaze to a boy on his knees holding his arms above his head seeming to say that he dis something wrong.
Tang Zhen tensed up and tried to look diligent. "Such is the fate of all future son-in-laws. They're never good enough for the daughters of any family. Let alone one with such a powerful background." He said while crying anime tears.
"I heard that my little daughter is back." A regal voice sounded throughout the hall.
Ning Rongrong initally happy, turned around and huffed.
The group turning around saw a handsome man walking with a cane accompanied by a man with white hair and dressed in blue emitting an aura similar to Bone Douluo although much sharper like a blade.
"Little girl, why are you turning your back to me? It's been so long I miss you." Ning Fengzhi said softly taking a seat in his chair.
The little witch avoided her father's attempt at a hug and spun into the other man's arms.
"Grandpa Sword I missed you so much." Nuzzling into him trying to act pitiful.
"Good girl, you're finally back. I missed you very much too." Sword Douluo said rubbing her head.
Ning Rongrong reluctantly pulled away and cleared her throat.
"Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone. I wanted to make things clear now. You can't pat my head anymore. There's only one person who can do that to me now." She pouted and turned but the other girls could see the smirk on her face as she made a wink at them causing them all to giggle. It's about time that scoundrel was scolded.
"HA?! Who is it? Little Princess did you find a man? Where is he so I can chop him into pieces with my sword!" Sword Douluo losing his composure starting to flare his aura leaving a shaking Tang Zhen in the corner.
Bone Douluo releasing his aura as well turned to Tang Zhen.
"Is it you? You bastard! Did you defile our little Rongrong?!"
Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi finally noticed the pitiful boy holding his arms above his head in the corner.
While Sword Douluo's aura became fixed on him, Ning Fengzhi was intrigued. The rule of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was that the partner of said martial soul owner must be an attack type soul master.
Ning Rongrong never showed any attention to boys her age even when she was with the crowned prince Xue Qinghe much to Ning Fengzhi's chagrin.
If this boy was indeed the one Ning Rongrong was interested in, he must either come from a powerful family or he was exceptionally talented. Always the businessman Ning Fengzhi needed to know more.
"Uncle Bone, Uncle Sword, please settle down. There are guests present." He said.
Both Titled Douluos cleared their throats realising that Ning Rongrong's friends were here with her to visit they became embarrassed and tried to look regal.
"Come here young lad." Ning Fengzhi said.
Finally Tang Zhen got up and walked over. The girls giggled at the indignant look he gave them.
"Rongrong who are your friends?" Ning Fengzhi asked?
After introductions all three elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan were shocked by the collection of talents.
Before they could say anything, a messenger knocked on the door saying there was an urgent matter. Upon delivering the news, Bone and Sword Douluo's gaze turned sharp and rushed out. Poison Douluo Dugu Bo was here.
Soon after they came in with Dugu Bo and Ning Fengzhi surprised greeted him. Upon hearing that one of the girls in the group was Dugu Bo's granddaughter and she was friends with Ning Rongrong, they visibly relaxed.
Initially hearing that Tang Zhen was Ning Rongrong's boyfriend and he was also with three other women, Bone and Sword Douluo were about to go on a rampage and do terrible things to the brat.
Seeing this Dugu Bo asked Tang Zhen to approach the four of them. Tang Zhen shakily walked up. Now he was no coward but there were mysterious forces in the universe that could scare anyone no matter how fearless or powerful they may be. Women and their over protective relatives.
Before his future grandson-in-law could be castrated Dugu Bo spoke with a solemn voice.
"Old Bone, Old Sword, Clan Leader Ning, do you remember brother Yu?"
The three suddenly froze and solemnly remembered the man. When they were young, the three Titled Douluos met Yu Landong. They traveled the Douluo continent together getting into mischief, chasing girls, and getting stronger. Afterwards the four of then vowed to become Titled Douluos creating a name for themselves.
After Yu Landong's death, Dugu Bo who admired his brother grew depressed and closed himself off creating many enemies and the remaining three slowly drifted apart.
"Old Poison, why do you bring up Brother Yu now?" Bone Douluo asked solemnly but with a serious note.
Ning Fengzhi was also curious. When he was a young boy, he remembered the kind and powerful man from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with strength on par with the two uncles. He admired Yu Landong for always fighting for justice and was so kind to him. Ning Fengzhi also had a crush on Yu Lanxin growing up but accepted that she saw him as a brother.
Dugu Bo, proud person humbled himself a little.
"Brother Gu, Brother Chen…. I am sorry." Both were surprised by his sudden apology.
"After Brother Yu died, I tried to look for little Xin'er as well. But as I was dealing with my own issues with my poison, I thought she would be safe within the clan."
Bone and Sword Douluo lowered their heads. Their sworn brother's daughter's death was something they both had a hard time getting over thinking they failed him.
"Once my son died, I lost track of everything and fell into depression. I couldn't do anything and when Xin'er died, I felt like I failed the two of you as well." Dugu Bo said. He knew that with the two being the guardians of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan they couldn't move easily.
"Brother Dugu, enough. We all failed Brother Yu. But what's the use of lanenting now?" Bone Douluo said.
Dugu Bo looked at Tang Zhen and said something that shocked the others.
"Brothers, little Xin'er had a son. And that boy is standing in front of us right now."
The three looked at Tang Zhen who after looking noticed that his face looked a lot like Yu Lanxin especially his eyes. Memories of a little blond haired girl with blue eyes sparkling like gems calling them uncle and brother came to mind.
"Brat are you really?….." Sword Douluo said.
"Yes."
Walking forward Bone Douluo gripped his shoulder, "Good, good. Hahaha Brother Yu's line lives on."
"Father, Grandpa Bone, Grandpa Sword, does that mean you approve of Big Brother Tang Zhen?" Ning Rongrong asked cutely.
"Of course! No one else on the Douluo continent would be good enough for our little princess except for Brother Yu's grandson! Level 53 at his age, hes a genius!" Bone Douluo said while laughing, a weight lifted off his shoulder.
Cupping his hands and bowing, "Tang Zhen greets elders."
After gaining their approval, Ning Rongrong said she had a surprise for them and said she had hit level 30. It had only been three months and she jumped four levels?
What shocked them even more was when she showed them the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Soon, they all set out to hunt for soul beasts for Rongrong and Dugu Yan. Tang Zhen knew this was the perfect opportunity to steal away the Eight Spider Lances from Tang San. He planned to give it to Dugu Yan. Even though it wasn't a serpent, it would be the perfect tool to help her store her poison since Dugu Bo hasn't found a suitable soul bone yet.
A month had passed and the group got ready to head out to Soutuo City. Tang Zhen was hoping he could be done there before Shrek could get involved. He wanted the group to gain combat experience.
With the help of three Titled Douluos, they were easily able to track down that 2,100 year old Man Faced Demon Spider. Upon seeing the external soul bone, Dugu Bo was overjoyed. Although the others became jealous, once they heard that Dugu Yan needed it to keep her life, they let it go.
Tang Zhen hit level 54 with Dugu Yan advancing to level 43, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu at level 38 and Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling advancing to level 34.
Arriving at Soutuo City's Great Spirit Arena, the group quickly rose to fame costing the arena a lot of soul coins.
To try and win their money back the manager of the arena, a fat balding man was getting ready for the next match. He had bet a significant amount of money on this match against the now called the Tyrant Empresses.
He knew recruiting the students from this school was a gamble but they were said to be one of the strongest soul master teams able to defeat teams under level 50 without a single one being level 40 themselves. But in the event they failed, he had a contingency plan.
Tang Zhen was indignant. They named themselves the Tyrant Empresses. What was he chopped liver?
"Hmpf. You should be honored to serve as a guard for the Empresses." Ning Rongrong said earlier. The rest of the group seemed to agree. So he reluctantly agreed to the team name.
The next fight came and when they walked onto the stage the crowd cheered loudly. This team despite only having 6 people beat all the others that had 7.
Although everyone wore a mask to hide their identities, everyone could tell that each empress was an exceptional beauty. Meanwhile the women in the crowd drooled over the "guard"'s physique and wondered what he looked like.
Soon the opponent was announced and Tang Zhen was shocked at first and then a smirk formed on his face.
"Well well well, looks like I didn't need to go out searching for you after all Shui Bing'er." Tang Zhen thought happily.
"The next match will be team Tyrant Empresses against the team from Tian Shui Academy!"
