Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 642 The Uninvited Guest Arrives?
"Beibei, you've been gone so long, and you've become a Title Douluo! Have you been on drugs?!"

Inside a hotel in Lingdou City, Bei Bei, who had come with Yan Shaozhe, met Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan, whom she hadn't seen since they returned to their sect after the new emperor of Douling ascended the throne.

Since they had run into their good brother whom they hadn't seen in a long time, they naturally had to get together. So, after getting Yan Shaozhe's permission, Beibei and Xu Sanshi went to the hotel for a get-together.

Upon meeting and learning that Bei Bei had become a Title Douluo, Xu Sanshi was filled with envy. "We were all on the same level, and you've already surpassed your brother?!"
Before the food was even served, Xu Sanshi punched Bei Bei in the chest. It didn't hurt at all, but it made the guy incredibly smug.

"Hehe—getting impatient?"

Beibei had a teasing look on her face, and her tone sounded a bit irritating.

"In a hurry? Who's in a hurry!?"

Noticing that Beibei was alone, Xu Sanshi's eyes darted around furtively. The next second, he wrapped his right arm around Jiang Nannan, who had been silently watching the show.

The sudden intimate gesture made Jiang Nannan, who hadn't reacted yet, blush instantly, followed by a chill.

"Smack!"

Before Jiang Nannan could react, Xu Sanshi kissed her cheek right in front of Beibei, so hard that it left a red mark on her face.

But what are the consequences of such a sudden action...?

"hiss--"

Feeling a sharp pain in his waist, Xu Sanshi inwardly gasped, but outwardly maintained a calm demeanor in front of Bei Bei. At the same time, Jiang Nannan's not-so-whispered mutter rang out, "Are you trying to kill me?! Bei Bei is right here, how can you talk like that here! It's so embarrassing."

This scene left Beibei completely stunned.

what happened?
What happened?

Why did things develop this way?
However, he soon understood Xu Sanshi's purpose.

"Wife, let's kiss again."

Such a "request" was, without a doubt, met with ruthless suppression from Jiang Nannan, who was already thin-skinned.

Get out of my way—

"daughter in law!?"

But right now, Beibei completely ignored what Jiang Nannan was saying. Hearing Xu Sanshi's address, his entire spirit lifted! His mind was completely absorbed.

When he came to his senses, he looked at the teasing Xu Sanshi.

"You married Nannan!?"

"uh-huh."

Seeing Xu Sanshi smugly showing off, this time it was Bei Bei's turn to be envious. What kind of brother are you?! Only a few years have passed, and you've already gotten married behind your brother's back!
Seeing Beibei's expression, Xu Sanshi became the smug one. His mocking face was a carbon copy of Beibei's, even his tone was just as irritating.
"Hehe—getting impatient?"

This time, the tables have turned.

"In a hurry? Who's in a hurry!?"

When asked this, Xu Sanshi replied without hesitation, "Of course it's a certain virgin who's still at the stage of holding hands and kissing. Do you mean me, who's already married to Nan Nan?"

"You guy-"

These words struck a nerve. Bei Bei blushed and stared intently at Xu Sanshi. Her teeth were clenched as if Xu Sanshi were her father's killer.

Xu Sanshi didn't back down and glared back at him.

Looking at the two who seemed like immature children, Jiang Nannan, now exuding a slightly aristocratic air, elegantly rolled her eyes. Noticing the situation outside the private room, she gently smoothed the long strands of hair that fell across her cheek, and leisurely got up and walked out.

Then, less than half a second later…

"Hahaha—" ×2
The two staring men suddenly blinked and burst into laughter for no apparent reason, laughing with unbridled joy!
"You blinked, you lost!"

"Bullshit! You lost! You blinked first!"

"Nonsense! It was clearly you!"

"It's you!"

"you!"

"..."

After arguing for a long time, it was Beibei who gave the most convincing explanation that made Xu Sanshi admit defeat.

"Fine, you win. You win!"

"What are you saying?! What do you mean by 'just consider'?"

"Alright, regardless of who wins or loses, it's time to eat."

Jiang Nannan personally carried the dishes, having already persuaded the waiter to leave while the two were arguing, and served them one by one herself. When she finally placed two jars of wine on the table, she interrupted the two who were about to start arguing about something pointless again, and complained helplessly, "You're almost old enough to be a father, but you're still acting like a child."

"Hey—a man is a boy until he dies."

"Yes."

"Yes Yes…"

Jiang Nannan poured a glass of wine for each of them, and nodded in compliance but also somewhat perfunctorily, "Then you two young men, please try it. Are you satisfied with these dishes and this wine?"

"Satisfied, satisfied."

As a hotel in the capital of the Douling Empire, and given that it was brought by Xu Sanshi, a local bigwig, the food and wine were naturally excellent. However, as Beibei ate, she found the food tasteless and even felt quite full.

because…

"Hey—" Beibei suddenly spoke up, putting down her chopsticks and staring at the couple showing off their affection with dead fish eyes. "Can you two tone it down a bit? I'm almost full from eating all this dog food!"

Xu Sanshi simply replied with one sentence.

"If you're so capable, then call Xiaoya over here."

Damn it, Xiaoya didn't come along!
Beibei gritted his teeth and angrily picked up his chopsticks to vent his frustration on the food and drinks on the table. However, as he ate, and his emotions calmed down, he gradually noticed a sense of unease.

It wasn't until he was almost used to Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan's displays of affection that he realized where that slight awkwardness came from.

Jiang Nannan's change seems a bit too drastic!

Is she the type of person who likes to show off her relationship?
Beibei was skeptical about this.

Given this attitude, Beibei naturally wanted to know the answer. Don't misunderstand, he didn't want Xiaoya to feel the same way.

After some tactful questioning, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan realized the real question Bei Bei wanted to ask, and were naturally met with a teasing look from someone.

"Oh—you want to know?"

Xu Sanshi smiled and dragged it out for a long time, but then his face turned serious. His ability to change his expression was faster than turning the pages of a book.

This immediately made Beibei serious.

Of course, he also sensed the unusual nature of the question.

After all, when Xu Sanshi asked the question, Jiang Nannan also quieted down, and there was even a hint of complexity in her eyes.

He put down his chopsticks again. "What happened before?" "Sigh—"

Xu Sanshi let out a long, melancholy sigh.

Then he rolled up his sleeves, "It's a long story..."

Beibei didn't indulge him, subconsciously applying the decisive and efficient style she had developed in the five years since returning from the Sea God family and handling affairs in the Sea God Pavilion, "Then let's get straight to the point."

"you…"

Caught off guard, Xu Sanshi's melancholy immediately turned into resentment. However, he didn't stop talking, and only after the private room was separated did he begin to recount the events of that year.

After listening, Beibei gradually understood.

"So you're saying that the emperor of your Douling Empire thinks you have great talent and royal blood, so he wants to marry his daughter to you to strengthen family ties. Is that right?"

Xu Sanshi nodded, indicating that the summary was correct.

This made Bei Bei think carefully, and she understood the meaning behind it. "It seems that he wants to use you to truly subdue the entire Xuanming Sect and bring it under his control. Right now, he doesn't really trust you all."

"That's for sure."

Xu Sanshi naturally agreed.

"Although the new emperor has done a good job in governing the empire and the people approve of him, he has also done some ruthless things. So my mother and he are not on the same side at all. As far as he is concerned, the entire Xuanming Sect can only be trusted with a 50% degree of confidence."

"However, after I disagreed and even publicly humiliated him, declaring that Nannan was my wife, that guy finally settled for second best and chose Yu Tianlong as his marriage partner."

Good guy!
Beibei gave a thumbs up, her eyes full of approval: "Truly worthy of being one of us, daring to risk everything for a beautiful woman."

Of course!

Xu Sanshi, who could empathize with Bei Bei's gaze, looked smug.

I would do anything for Nan Nan!

Honestly, I don't know what you two are so smug about? But what San Shi did back then was really too impulsive.

At this moment, Jiang Nannan interrupted their conversation with a helpless look that was filled with emotion, which finally made them reluctantly stop staring at each other.

Then, Beibei frowned, a hint of worry in her eyes. "So, according to Nannan, he'll make things difficult for your Xuanming Sect afterwards?"

"Nothing."

Xu Sanshi waved his hand, indicating that Beibei didn't need to worry.

"Nan Nan is just worried and confused. After all, he can trust our Xuanming Sect at least 50%, but he can only trust that Supreme Elder at most 20% or 30%. If it weren't for needing her power and relying on her to strengthen the empire's future strength, how could that guy possibly entrust the task of nurturing the new generation to that His Majesty?"

"So until that guy has finished using that sir and doesn't have the confidence to take down that sir, he will never make a move against my Xuanming Sect. After all, the power of the Tianlong Sect alone and the current empire itself is not enough to restrain her."

This emperor was extremely cruel and ungrateful.

Beibei shook her head and kindly reminded her:

You still need to be careful.

"Do not worry."

Xu Sanshi patted his chest confidently, "Although my strength has not progressed as well as yours, I have also received guidance from that Your Majesty, and my cultivation has progressed much faster than before. Once Nan Nan and I have both improved our cultivation, he will not act rashly either."

"That Your Majesty's guidance?"

Recalling what Xu Sanshi had previously said about the complicated relationship between the two, he asked, "Aren't you afraid that the Battle Spirit Emperor will misunderstand?"

"What's the use of misunderstandings? After all, who can refuse to be taught cultivation by a Limit Douluo? Does he dare to stop people from going? Wouldn't that cut off everyone's interests? So, if he can't stop it, he can still use this opportunity to his advantage. Besides, according to rumors..."

As if forgetting that the sounds inside the private room had been muted, or perhaps because the following words had to be spoken furtively, Xu Sanshi acted on some kind of instinct, and whispered:
"...That sir seems to have spent even more time training a special team of Soul Masters. Each and every one of them is a genius."

This content is a bit serious (important).

Suddenly, Beibei became incredibly serious.

"Elaborate!"

To everyone's surprise, Xu Sanshi helplessly shrugged.

"I can't go into details. It's all just rumors, baseless speculation."

While muttering to himself, he rolled up his sleeves even higher because he was eating so hot, and eventually took off his jacket. As a result, Beibei saw that Xu Sanshi was wearing an armband with a phoenix pattern on his shoulder.

"What's that armband you're wearing?"

"Oh, you mean this?"

Xu Sanshi took off his armband and tossed it to Bei Bei. "This is proof, and only with this proof can you attend His Majesty's lectures."

After examining it for a while and not figuring out what it was all about, Beibei returned it to him. "Are these armbands very rare?"

"That's not it."

Xu Sanshi put the armband back on and said:
"You can obtain it if you reach the Soul Sect level before the age of twenty."

"That's not simple either."

Just as the three continued their gathering, Beibei suddenly sensed something. Her expression changed abruptly, and she abruptly stood up.

Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan were both stunned for a moment upon seeing this.

"Beibei, what's wrong with you?"

The words had barely left his mouth for less than a second when the two Contra Masters also sensed a terrifying aura approaching. They then did the same thing as BeiBei.

Before they could react, "Boom—"

A terrifying pressure suddenly enveloped the entire Douling City!
Under this pressure, Beibei and the other two looked out the window and saw that the clear sky had changed. In just a moment, it was as if a storm was brewing.

With a sudden, violent roar, a streak of light pierced the sky. The dark clouds that had just gathered due to the momentum seemed to have encountered something terrifying and torn them apart. At the same time, an astonishing aura spread out like a tide.

At this moment, not only the powerful figures within Lingdou City, but even the common people sensed the arrival of terror.

This fear originates from their hearts, but it doesn't affect their physiology. In fact, once they realize what's happening, they scatter and flee, leaving the streets spotless.

Only those who are Soul Masters can feel the dual pressure from both psychological and physiological aspects. In fact, the stronger a Soul Master is, the greater the pressure they will feel.

For example, in the reception hall of the Douling Empire, Yan Shaozhe was communicating with Emperor Xuefeng of the Douling Empire and Supreme Elder Shui Xiye, and they even talked about their origins.

It was Xuefeng who spoke first, saying, "Dean Yan's martial soul is the Phoenix of Light, and the Supreme Elder's martial soul is also the Phoenix of Light. It's possible that the two are related by blood."

His words were spoken with a smile, as if in jest.

Before she could finish speaking, Shui Xiye looked at Yan Shaozhe with gentle eyes and said, "I do have a son whose surname is Yan. But after he went out to make his way in the world, we lost all contact with him."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe's heart trembled!
They were all old foxes, and even if the Bright Phoenix Martial Soul was indeed rare and likely of the same lineage, he wouldn't easily believe what others said. However, regardless, the "lethality" of these words was indeed quite unusual for him.

Faced with Shui Xiye's kind eyes, just as Yan Shaozhe was about to speak, Shui Xiye and he both felt the pressure of a powerful aura. Immediately afterwards, a terrifying pressure came over them!

"not good!"
