Chapter 2830: Chapter 2830: Making the Relationship Clear

"Let me ask you, what do you think of my granddaughter?"

The Great Might Divine King solemnly asked Fang Bai.

Fang Bai nodded and replied, "Rongrong? She’s wonderful! Why are you suddenly asking me about this, elder?"

The Great Might Divine King huffed angrily, "Since she’s wonderful, why are you unwilling to become her Dao companion? My granddaughter, whether in looks or talent, isn’t any worse than those Dao companions by your side, right?"

Fang Bai paused, then smiled wryly, "Great Might Divine King, why do you say that! Your granddaughter is peerless in beauty and extraordinary in talent; anyone who becomes her Dao companion is truly blessed in cultivation..."

The Great Might Divine King snorted, "My granddaughter is so exceptional, what more can you be dissatisfied with? What’s wrong with your disciples calling Rongrong their ’teacher’s wife’? What do you mean by reprimanding them? Do you think Rongrong isn’t good enough for you?"

As he said this, he released a wave of pressure that enveloped Fang Bai, and shouted sternly, "Rongrong has already set her heart on you, and there’s nothing I can do about it. I just hope you will treat Rongrong better in the future and not make her sad... hmph, if you dare abandon her, I won’t let you off easily!"

Fang Bai noticed that when he said the last sentence, the Divine King suddenly clenched his hand forcefully, as if he were about to crush something, causing Fang Bai to involuntarily feel a chill at his waist.

He knew the Divine King cherishes Rongrong extremely and is true to his word, so Fang Bai could only smile wryly, "Have you consulted Rongrong about this? As long as she agrees, I naturally won’t oppose..."

The Great Might Divine King clasped his hands together, his stern face instantly transforming into one of delight, and laughed heartily, "I like what you’ve said. Wait here; I’ll call Rongrong over, and you two can discuss it face to face!"

As he spoke, his Divine Sense diffused, and upon discovering his granddaughter’s presence, he immediately moved his lips slightly, using the Voice Transmission Technique to call her over.

Rongrong heard her grandfather’s urgent tone, unsure of what had happened, and instantly appeared beside him. Seeing Fang Bai there as well, she recalled how Ghost Hand and the other disciples had called her ’teacher’s wife’ and were reprimanded for it, which caused her expression to darken.

"Rongrong, come here, come here..."

The Great Might Divine King waved Rongrong over and said, "You come and tell this kid, you like him, right? If he wants to become your Dao companion, you’ll agree, right?"

In fact, everyone knew about Rongrong’s affection for Fang Bai, and Rongrong was sure Fang Bai could perceive her feelings; it was just that neither of them had broached the topic.

But Rongrong hadn’t expected that her grandfather would expose this matter in front of Fang Bai and her, causing her pretty face to flush red as she lowered her head, unable to meet Fang Bai’s gaze.

"Don’t be shy, say it if you like him! Let me tell you, this kid Fang Bai just admitted that he actually likes you and is willing to become your Dao companion, but you must nod your agreement first."

The Great Might Divine King spoke.

Upon hearing this, Rongrong’s heart was secretly delighted, but she became even more bashful, her head nearly buried in her chest, her face burning like fire, her ears reddened.

The Great Might Divine King saw his granddaughter remain silent and could do nothing, so he said to Fang Bai, "Her silence means consent! Now, I make the decision: from this moment on, you two are officially Dao companions. Oh, I have some matters to attend to, I’ll leave you two to chat privately."

Turning around, he left, leaving Fang Bai and Rongrong facing each other.

"You..."

Once the Great Might Divine King departed, Fang Bai opened his mouth, wanting to say a few words to Rongrong, but found himself at a loss for words, awkwardly rubbing his nose.

"My grandfather’s words...you don’t have to take them seriously..."

Rongrong suddenly raised her head to look at Fang Bai, and said earnestly.

Fang Bai asked, "What do you mean then?" ℴ

Rongrong bit her lip, her beautiful eyes blinking gently, and said, "I... I do like you! Not long after I met you, I liked you..."

She paused, then added, "But I know that becoming Dao companions can’t be one-sided, otherwise it wouldn’t be beneficial to cultivation and might even be harmful. So... if you don’t feel the same, I won’t insist..."

Fang Bai sighed, "Rongrong, you’re a smart woman and should believe that you can perceive my feelings..."

Rongrong nodded, "From your gaze, I can tell you like me too...but I can’t be sure, especially after you reprimanded Ghost Hand and Niu Ben..."

Fang Bai laughed out loud, "I reprimanded them because I was worried you might be upset! After all, we haven’t clarified our relationship, and they keep calling you ’teacher’s wife’... It’s not good for you..."

Rongrong shyly said, "I don’t think there’s anything bad about it... I like hearing it..."

Fang Bai nodded, stepped forward, and grabbed Rongrong’s small hand, "Come with me."

"Where... to where?"

Rongrong vaguely guessed what Fang Bai intended, and her heart couldn’t help but feel a bit flustered.

Fang Bai replied, "Of course, I’m taking you to see Baihua, Linglong, and the others! From now on, we’re a family, and these things must be clarified."

Rongrong said, "I... I feel a bit embarrassed..."

Despite having grown close to Baihua, Linglong, and the others recently, calling each other sisters and having a close bond, she still felt shy about suddenly having to make this matter public, almost feeling like she was stealing something precious to the other women.

Fang Bai laughed heartily, "I understand your feelings. Rest assured, they have already understood our relationship long ago. They’re probably just waiting for us to clarify it publicly! Otherwise, do you think Ghost Hand and the others would dare call you teacher’s wife?"

"You mean... Ghost Hand and the others call me teacher’s wife with Baihua and Linglong’s tacit approval?"

Rongrong widened her eyes in realization and recalled, thinking that it might indeed be possible.

Realizing this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that since the other women already tacitly accepted it, her matter with Fang Bai would naturally proceed without obstacles.

Sure enough, when Fang Bai led Rongrong to appear before Linglong and the other women, they were not surprised, and their faces showed slight smiles.

Amidst the teasing glances from the women, Fang Bai cleared his throat lightly and said, "About Rongrong and me, you should already be aware. However, I think it’s still necessary to tell you... Rongrong and I have officially become Dao companions today."

Baihua smiled, "Congratulations! You two truly are lovers destined to be together!"

After Baihua spoke, the other women also offered their congratulations.

Though Fang Bai already had many Dao companions, none of the women felt bitter or jealous. After all, Fang Bai’s constitution was too unique, and for him, the more Dao companions, the better.

And the women, thinking for Fang Bai’s sake, supported anything beneficial to him wholeheartedly without any selfishness.
