Time flew by like water, and in the blink of an eye, only two months remained until the agreed-upon enrollment date.
Ning Mother's belly had reached its critical point, indicating that Ning Rongrong was about to be born.
Thinking of the mischievous face from the original story, Ning Bei decided that once the little devil was born, he would give her a good rub.
Three days later, Ning Mother's belly began to ache intensely, and she was rushed into the delivery room.
Ning Fengzhi and Ning Bei received the news and also arrived at the delivery room door, anxiously waiting.
"Father, have you thought of a name for younger sister?"
Hearing Ning Bei's question, Ning Fengzhi looked at him with a smile.
"How do you know it's a younger sister and not a younger brother?"
"Uh, a younger brother isn't fun; I want a younger sister."
Ning Bei secretly cursed himself for his carelessness and quickly made up a story, as he couldn't possibly say, "I've read the original novel."
Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"If it's a girl, let's call her Ning Rongrong, symbolizing the prosperity of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Ning Bei understood after hearing this; everything was settled, nothing had changed due to his arrival.
He thought, 'My name is Ning Bei, what if Ning Fengzhi suddenly decided to name her Ning Bao?'
While the two chatted, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo also arrived at the delivery room door, clearly very concerned about the incoming new life.
Bone Douluo eagerly asked Ning Fengzhi about the situation.
"How is it, Fengzhi?"
Just as Ning Fengzhi was about to answer Bone Douluo, several piercing screams came from the delivery room, followed by the cries of a baby.
Upon hearing the sounds, the group rejoiced, all turning their gaze to the delivery room.
"Congratulations, Fengzhi."
"Congratulations."
"Thank you, Uncle Chen and Uncle Gu."
At this moment, the delivery room door opened, and a maid ran out.
"Congratulations, Sect Master, it's a little princess, and both mother and daughter are safe."
Ning Fengzhi happily said, "Good!" and told the maid and midwife to collect their rewards, then looked at Ning Bei.
"You guessed it, kid, you have a younger sister now."
"Congratulations, Father."
Ning Bei pouted, 'If it were a younger brother, I'd be in trouble.'
After the midwife announced they could enter the delivery room, the group immediately went in.
Sitting on the bed was a young woman, Ning Mother.
Due to the stronger physiques of Spirit Masters in this World, she was already able to sit up after just giving birth.
In Ning Mother's arms was a delicate, doll-like baby, cooing.
Upon seeing Ning Bei and the other three approach, her small mouth drooped, and she began to cry loudly.
This cry immediately made the four big men flustered.
"What's going on? When Bei'er was born, I even held him, and he didn't cry."
"Indeed, what should we do?"
The newborn Ning Rongrong left the usually decisive Titled Douluo duo at a loss, making Ning Bei sigh, 'One thing conquers another.' This was a classic case of 'the crying child gets the milk.'
Watching Ning Fengzhi and the other two gathered around Ning Rongrong and Ning Mother, Ning Bei felt as if 'Status -1' appeared above his head.
Ning Bei then stepped forward and started pushing the three aside, 'I haven't rubbed her yet; move out of my way!'
With great effort, he squeezed to Ning Mother's side.
Looking over, Ning Rongrong had not stopped crying; it was a heartbreaking wail, truly saddening to hear.
Fearing the baby would hurt her throat from crying, Ning Bei summoned the Dan Tower and produced several Pulse Protecting Pills.
Ning Rongrong smelled the pill's fragrance, immediately stopped crying, and smiled, reaching for the pills in Ning Bei's hand.
Ning Bei also carefully took her from Ning Mother's hands.
He extended his index finger and thumb to pinch her delicate little cheek; Ning Rongrong not only didn't cry but smiled even more happily.
This scene made the eyes of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo turn red with envy.
"Bei'er, let me hold her."
"Yes, yes, and me too."
As they spoke, they reached out to snatch her, but as soon as their hands touched Ning Rongrong, her small mouth drooped again, and she began to cry loudly.
Ning Bei wordlessly handed the baby to Bone Douluo.
"Here, here, take her, you soothe her."
Bone Douluo was immediately flustered, holding Ning Rongrong and not knowing what to do.
After coaxing her for a long time, he looked at Ning Bei for help.
Sword Douluo, meanwhile, watched Bone Douluo with a look of schadenfreude.
"I told you, old fellow, don't snatch her; now soothe her."
Bone Douluo immediately became angry and embarrassed upon hearing this.
"Old Sword, you talk as if you can soothe her! If you're so capable, you do it!"
Saying this, he handed Ning Rongrong to Chen Xin.
However, Chen Xin refused to take her, saying that a dignified Titled Douluo couldn't handle a child, wouldn't that be a joke?
Ning Mother watched Ning Bei from the bed with a humorous smile.
"Bei'er, stop messing around; quickly soothe your younger sister, she hasn't eaten yet."
Ning Bei heard this and took Ning Rongrong again.
Gu Rong immediately let out a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead as if he had just fought a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
But you really can't deny it: Ning Rongrong, who was just crying heartbreakingly in Gu Rong's arms, immediately quieted down and smiled as soon as she was back in Ning Bei's hands.
Seeing this, Sword Douluo mocked his old rival.
"I think it's because you're ugly; you scared the child."
"You're full of nonsense! It would be the same if you tried."
Ning Fengzhi also smiled with emotion.
"It seems Rongrong really likes Bei'er.
From now on, she's in your care."
Ning Bei's face fell upon hearing this.
Rubbing her occasionally was fine, as she was indeed very cute, but having him babysit?
Was he serious?
Was he giving up on the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?
If Ning Fengzhi could hear Ning Bei's thoughts, he would surely retort, "Future? Isn't it already in your arms?"
After soothing Ning Rongrong and returning her to Ning Mother, everyone exited the delivery room, not wanting to disturb the baby's meal.
In the time that followed, besides cultivating spirit power, making pills, and nurturing Spirit Beasts, Ning Bei added the daily task of rubbing Rongrong.
The little girl was extremely fond of him.
From afar, she would smell the fragrance of the pills and know Ning Bei had arrived, and her happy laughter would ring out.
This gradually made Ning Bei forget the mischievous and willful Ning Rongrong from the original novel, and he began to lean towards becoming a doting older brother.
However, time passed quickly, and soon it was time for Ning Bei to enroll in Tiandou Royal Primary Academy.
Reluctantly bidding farewell to Ning Father, Ning Mother, and Rongrong, he took Ning Tao and set off on the road to Heaven Dou City.
Although Heaven Dou City was not far from Seven Treasure City, it was certainly impossible to return every day; he could only come back once a week during holidays.
"Sigh, babies don't remember much.
I wonder if Rongrong will still recognize me when I come back?"
Ning Tao, standing beside him, looked at the sighing Ning Bei with a smile.
"Young Master, don't worry.
Miss Rongrong likes you so much.
It's only been a week; she definitely won't forget you."
"Is that so? That's good."
That's right, he had to bring Ning Tao to school.
Having grown accustomed to being served, he couldn't possibly handle doing everything himself later on.
Besides, aristocratic academies didn't prohibit such behavior.
The journey of a few hours was soon completed, and the bustling Heaven Dou City appeared before them.
After bidding farewell to the Sect personnel who escorted him, he took Ning Tao and headed towards Tiandou Primary Spirit Master Academy.
From a distance, he saw Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, waving to him.
It had to be said that Qian Renxue was quite good at winning people over.
As a prince, personally welcoming Ning Bei to enroll showed a humble and respectful attitude towards talent.
"Xue Dage, long time no see.
Why did you trouble yourself to come and greet me personally?"
"Brother Ning, no need to be so polite.
I'll take you to eat, and then introduce you to the academy's headmaster."
Ning Bei no longer stood on ceremony upon hearing this.
"Then I'll trouble Xue Dage."
