Douluo Dalu: An Uchiha Traveler

While Su Fan and Ning Rongrong walk away, Flender hides behind an alley, laughing freely, feeling very satisfied with the performance just now.

"Hahaha! That little brat finally gets what he deserves. Looks like I won't be too hard on Ning Rongrong later as a reward for teaching that brat how to behave properly."

Flender then leaves the city of Soto, while Su Fan and Ning Rongrong stroll around, visiting different places and shopping for various things. Of course, as a rich lady, Ning Rongrong pays for her own purchases. Su Fan patiently follows all of Ning Rongrong's requests.

'Just a little patience, Flender will teach this little witch a lesson later.'

After Ning Rongrong has her fun and walks out of the city, Su Fan puts on his usual expression again. Ning Rongrong notices his expression, but he doesn't seem angry. Worried, she asks him,

"Su Fan, are you mad at me?"

"No, I'm not mad at you."

'After all, Flender will deal with you. Let's see how you act after that.'

Su Fan doesn't even hide his smile. To Ning Rongrong, his smile seems to indicate that he doesn't mind her actions.

'Does Su Fan like me and enjoy being with me? Maybe that's the reason!'

The two of them walk back to the academy, each lost in their own thoughts—one calculating and the other full of happiness. Not long after, they return to the academy and see everyone already lined up. Su Fan and Ning Rongrong take their previous positions. Xiao Wu, who is standing next to Ning Rongrong, immediately teases her out of jealousy after seeing Su Fan close to Ning Rongrong. Seeing that all the students are present, Flender nods.

"Oscar, have you finished running twenty laps?"

Oscar looks at Ning Rongrong, and she smiles at him. Ning Rongrong knows Oscar likes her, and she wants to take advantage of that to make him lie for her. Fortunately, Oscar didn't witness what happened with Su Fan, so he still believes he has a chance.

"Yes, Headmaster."

Flender approaches Oscar and pats his shoulder.

"Good, the courage to protect a friend is an attitude that must be developed."

Seeing this, Su Fan finds Flender's behavior strange.

"Ning Rongrong, did you complete the task I gave you?"

"No, the distance is too long. I was hungry and couldn't endure it. So, I went to the city to eat first."

Flender knows what Ning Rongrong was actually doing. She didn't even have breakfast and just played around in the city. However, this time, Flender decides to let it go.

"Good decision! Knowing your weakness, you decided to make up for it by preparing yourself. Good! Very brilliant!"

Flender praises Ning Rongrong, leaving everyone stunned. The fat guy sensing something off about Flender's behavior and whispers to Dai Mubai,

"Boss Dai, did the headmaster change his gender?"

Dai Mubai shrugs, indicating that he is also confused by Flender's change. The same goes for Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, who also find it strange. Su Fan on the other hand immediately understands Flender's intention when he sees him smiling at him. He never expected that Flender would calculate him and let Ning Rongrong go just to get revenge from him

'Flender! Just you wait! You're messing with an Uchiha you shouldn't offend!'

"A person who acknowledges their weakness is someone who will become great. Unlike someone who already thinks they're a champion and looks down on everything."

Su Fan glares at Flender for a moment before looking away and rolled his away from him.

"Tch!"

The male students admire Flender for successfully overwhelming Su Fan. Tang San, who has always been in Su Fan's shadow, gains a deeper respect for him.

Seeing his victory, Flender stands proudly as his male students look at him with admiration. Shortly after, Flender dismisses the students. Su Fan then decides to train to release his frustration followed by Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing. The other male students can only watch the girls leave with sadness.

As they walk Su Fan looks at Ning Rongrong who is clinging to his arm with an innocent face but he can only sigh.

'I can't do anything to her now so not attract her grandfather. I'll think something to teach her after Xiao Wu problem is solved in the future.'

While heading toward the river where Su Fan often trains, the usually quiet Zhu Zhuqing suddenly speaks up.

"Su Fan..."

Her voice catches the attention of the other three and they immediately look at her.

"What is it?"

"Do you have a way to help me become stronger faster?"

"How far are you willing to go to obtain the strength you desire?"

"I can do everything to break the shackles binds me from my own freedom."

Su Fan looks into Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, assessing her determination.

"I have a few methods. But the easiest one is to help you get a spirit ring that breaks the limit like mine. I can also teach you how to fight to improve your battle instincts, along with other things to make you much stronger."

"In that case, can you—"

"But you have to realize that we are only friends and nothing more. The truth is bitter, but if I help you so easily, then I am insulting myself who fought desperately to gain my strength with my own hands."

Zhu Zhuqing falls silent disappointed by Su Fan's response but she cannot deny his reasoning. She clenches her fists tightly and then says,

"I can give you anything you want, even if you want my body!"

Her answer shocks Su Fan and he looks at her in confusion. Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong have the same reaction.

"You bad cat! Brother Fan doesn't want your body because she have me!"

"What do you mean by having you? Su Fan and I also have close relationship so why it has to be you?"

"You and brother Fan are just friend at most, you have no right to say you're close to brother Fan!"

Ning Rongrong look at Su Fan seeking for justice from him but Su Fan just flick their forehead.

"Ow!"

Both of them touch their forehead and become honest and stop arguing. Zhu Zhuqing's face also gradually turns red because she's really embarrassed when she say that.

'Is it them or is it me that misjudge the girls in this world? First Xiao Wu then Ning Rongrong and now Zhu Zhuqing?'

Su Fan can only sigh at the how weird these girl around him behaves.

"How about this? In the future, when I ask you for something, you cannot refuse, no matter what the request is. Can you promise me that?"

Hearing Su Fan's request, Zhu Zhuqing nods and says,

"I, Zhu Zhuqing, swear upon my martial soul that I will fulfill Su Fan's request when he helps me become strong!"

Immediately, a purple light similiar to her soul power colors appears around Zhu Zhuqing and a chain of spirit power emerges and flying toward Su Fan then take out his martial soul and the chains bind his martial soul before disappearing signifying the completion of her oath. Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong stare at Zhu Zhuqing in disbelief. Both of them speaks at the same time:

"You're crazy..."

Such an oath is equivalent to selling herself to Su Fan. Su Fan shocked for a few seconds before suddenly smiles as if reminiscing about something.

'This girl… she reminds me of my past self when I go to Orochimaru. How brave.'
