Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 149 Ling Luochen’s arrival and aura control, Xu Jiujiu vs. Zhang Lexuan, repaying a favor!

Everything Shu Yan expected was exactly right.

In a very short period of time, the news of such a big commotion in Xingluo City swept across the entire Douluo Continent like a hurricane.

Countless forces and strong men cast their eyes over here. For a moment, Xingluo City was crowded with people, and the flow of people increased nearly three times compared to before. Xu Jiawei was somewhat helpless and had to arrange more people to maintain order. Even Titled Douluo such as Juli were not immune. They would go out for a patrol every once in a while and check whether there were any suspicious people in the city.

Xu Jiawei summoned Shu Yan again, and Shu Yan explained the whole story, but did not reveal to what level his mental power had been improved. Xu Jiawei also saw what Shu Yan meant and did not ask any more questions.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel surprised. The previous spiritual wave benefited almost everyone in the palace, including him.

There are many different ways to improve soul power, but there are very few existing methods to improve mental power, and the disadvantages and requirements are extremely high. For a time, many people in the palace were grateful to such an unknown strong man for getting such a blessing for no reason.

Qiangu Chaosheng, who was in the stone chamber, had a deeper understanding. He couldn't help but sigh that being in the same era as Shu Yansheng was really a tragedy for the geniuses of the time.

No matter how dazzling their light is, can it shine brighter than Shu Yan?

The answer is obviously no. Living in the same era as such people, they are destined to become supporting roles. Faced with an unimaginable and insurmountable mountain, no matter how hard they try, it will always be in vain.

……

Xu Jiujiu said that she was very confused. She didn't know what was going on. Her beautiful dream was disturbed. She habitually snuggled into Shu Yan's arms, but found that the person beside her was no longer there. As soon as she went out, she felt the spiritual power fluctuations as deep and vast as the sea.

With Shu Yan's reminder and care, she immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and entered a meditative state. When she woke up, not only did her soul power successfully break through the first level, but her mental strength also soared. It was a huge gain.

But soon, she figured out what happened. She was surprised, but also a little confused. Everything happened too fast, and she felt that reality was unreal...

Looking at Shu Yan who was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform with his eyes closed, Xu Jiujiu sighed softly, but then a message from the maid made her pause slightly. After tidying up, she did not call Shu Yan, but left the princess's mansion alone with Nebula Douluo.

……

Star King Hotel.

Coming here again, she was a little dazed for a long time. She looked at the people coming and going outside. After a moment, she came to her senses and got off the carriage gracefully.

Nebula Douluo followed behind her like an ordinary old woman. The aura of the two was very special, but because the hotel staff quickly surrounded the two and walked into the hotel, no one could identify their identities.

The crisp sound of golden high heels stepping on the ground echoed in the hall. Xu Jiujiu glanced at Chen Yin who was standing beside him with a serious expression, and then said:
"Where is the man?"

Chen Yin quickly replied:

"The person is in the reception room on the first floor. I have already cleared the area and will ensure that no one disturbs Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Xu Jiujiu nodded softly, and the maid who was waiting at the door in the distance opened the luxurious door inlaid with gold edges. After Xu Jiujiu and Nebula Douluo stepped in, she closed the door.

Chen Yin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. For some reason, he always felt that the aura and oppression of Xu Jiujiu were much stronger than last time. He obviously also had the cultivation of a Soul Saint, but in front of Xu Jiujiu, whose soul power level was obviously lower than his, he was suppressed to the point that he could hardly raise his head. Even though their identities and status were very different, Chen Yin still found it a little unbelievable.

In fact, it is not Chen Yin's fault that he is too weak. His martial soul is the Fiery Blade, an extremely powerful weapon martial soul. His combat power is also very good at the Soul Saint level. Otherwise, he would not have successfully become the head of the Star King Hotel, a special hotel directly under the royal family, at his current age.

The reason why Xu Jiujiu was able to completely overwhelm him in terms of momentum was because of an auxiliary ability given to her by Qiluo Tulip, aura control!

Qiluo Tulip is known as the king of fairy herbs and has absolute suppression over all fairy herbs. Aura control is a passive auxiliary deterrent skill. Xu Jiujiu was born in a royal family and has an aura suppression over ordinary people. Combined with the characteristics of Qiluo Tulip, she only needs to maintain the aura and posture she wants, and the 100,000-year fifth ring and 100,000-year skull brought by Qiluo Tulip will continuously enhance her own aura at a slow speed.

The longer Xu Jiujiu can maintain this aura, the stronger it will be. In theory, this ability can allow Xu Jiujiu, who is at the Soul King level, to condense an aura and power that far exceeds his own strength.

Although it seems a bit useless, for Xu Jiujiu, who has a special identity and needs, this ability gives her an extra advantage, allowing her to better maneuver and make profits among a group of old hands.

Xu Jiujiu walked slowly into the elegantly and solemnly decorated reception room with Nebula Douluo.

Ling Luochen, who was originally sitting quietly waiting, was startled at first, then stood up subconsciously. Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo, who were originally discussing something in a low voice, also stopped talking almost subconsciously. Their eyes moved, and they felt an unusual aura from Xu Jiujiu and Xingyun Douluo.

The noble aura of Xu Jiujiu made even Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister of the inner courtyard, a little stunned. The Nebula Douluo following behind her looked ordinary, but just one glance at him made her dazed.

This is a Titled Douluo!
Zhang Lexuan came to a conclusion immediately. She just pulled the bewildered Han Ruoruo to stand up, and then she heard Xu Jiujiu's pleasant voice:
"Luochen, I haven't seen you for a while. You have also broken through to the Soul King level."

Luochen, a very intimate name, coupled with the gentle smile on Xu Jiujiu's face, makes people unconsciously feel good about him.

Ling Luochen was slightly stunned, but she did not feel uncomfortable with Xu Jiujiu's intimate address. The other party helped her a lot. Not only did he save the last dignity for her grandfather, but he also spared no effort to help her solve the family's worries. She was not a heartless person. She was destined to repay such a kindness, even if it took her a lifetime.

"haven't seen you for a long time…"

After pondering for a long time, Ling Luochen, who was a little at a loss, finally spoke.

She really doesn't like and is not good at interpersonal communication, especially in this kind of occasion. She feels that whatever she says seems to have something wrong.

Xu Jiujiu nodded, her eyes fell on the two women behind Ling Luochen, she narrowed her blue eyes slightly, and continued to ask:
"Who are these two?" Zhang Lexuan and the other person had an extraordinary aura. Plus, they seemed to have some connection with Ling Luochen but not be very familiar with him, so Xu Jiujiu already had a guess.

"My name is Zhang Lexuan, and I am a disciple of the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy. Nice to meet you, young lady and this senior."

Zhang Lexuan smiled gently and gently pinched Han Ruoruo's arm beside her.

Han Ruoruo also quickly adjusted her posture in front of her bestie, which was a little different from usual, and then said:
"My name is Han Ruoruo, and I'm also a disciple of Shrek's inner courtyard."

Xu Jiujiu and Xingyun Douluo were both a little surprised. Han Ruoruo and the others might be a little confused about the names of these two people, but Zhang Lexuan was very clear about them.

The youngest Soul Douluo in Shrek Academy in three thousand years, she led the Shrek Academy team to win the championship with a crushing force and was once hailed as the Goddess of the Moon.

"So you are the senior sister and the Golden Fairy from the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy. My name is Xu Jiujiu, and the one next to me is an old senior from my Xingluo Empire, whose title is Xingyun."

As a princess, she had done a lot of research on the Soul Master Competition of the past hundred years, and was naturally aware of the outstanding geniuses among them. But Xu Jiujiu was still a little surprised, and didn't understand why the senior sister of the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy and the Golden Fairy who performed outstandingly in the previous Soul Master Competition followed Ling Luochen to Xingluo City.

Her surname was Xu and she was a Titled Douluo Guard. Zhang Lexuan knew almost instantly who this imposing girl in front of her was.

Ling Luochen and Han Ruoruo realized it later and were inevitably a little surprised.

Especially Ling Luochen, she had guessed the identities of Shu Yan and others many times, perhaps they were descendants of a powerful hidden family, or they were strong men and descendants of a great noble family or a large sect in Xingluo, but she had never thought that Xu Jiujiu would actually be a royal princess, and a Princess Jiujiu who was famous throughout the Xingluo Empire.

"It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess. It was Le Xuan who was rude."

Zhang Lexuan bowed slightly. This was the etiquette she learned when she was very young. She was born into a Tianhun noble family. In addition, she had studied and practiced in Shrek for more than 20 years. Even when facing a princess of a country, she still seemed calm and composed. It could even be said that she had a tendency to compete with Xu Jiujiu.

Xu Jiujiu smiled gently, she walked forward a few steps, then gently took Ling Luochen's hand, and said to Zhang Lexuan and the others:

"Don't be so reserved. Please take a seat, both guests. I have long heard of the reputation of Shrek Academy. It is fate that we meet now. If you don't mind, you can chat with me."

Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo looked at each other, and the two slowly took their seats. Nebula Douluo stood behind Xu Jiujiu, her eyes were always on Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo, with shock hidden in her eyes. She could see their cultivation and age, and she had a hunch that if these two joined forces, they might be able to fight her back and forth.

This was her intuition as a Titled Douluo, not a deliberate attempt to elevate Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo.

On the other side, Xu Jiujiu was smiling on the surface while talking to Zhang Lexuan about Shrek Academy, but at the same time he had a subtle feeling.

Shu Yan did not have a good impression of Shrek Academy, and if she wanted to unify the continent, Shrek would definitely be an insurmountable obstacle. She originally had almost no feelings towards Shrek Academy, that is, she had no good feelings nor ill will towards it, but because of Shu Yan, she now regarded the other party as an opponent and an obstacle.

But it is far from the time to fall out. Superficial harmony and affection are necessary. When it comes to family and national affairs and love goals, Xu Jiujiu is very rational and knows what he should do.

Zhang Lexuan, Han Ruoruo and Xu Jiujiu were talking very harmoniously. Putting aside the initial shock about Xu Jiujiu's identity, if you just look at their interactions, they were actually pretty good.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Zhang Lexuan took out the jade that she was very familiar with from her soul guide, and then said very sincerely:

"Your Highness, Ruoruo and I followed Luochen to Xingluo City this time because we wanted to meet the senior who gave this jade to Luochen. It is very likely that the senior helped me to avenge the extermination of my family unintentionally. This is a great favor to me. Please let me meet the senior. If possible, I am willing to repay the senior with all my wealth and even my life..."

Zhang Lexuan's tone was not only full of sincerity, but also contained a hint of urgency and pleading. Han Ruoruo pursed her lips but never spoke.

She knew that what Zhang Lexuan said was absolutely not empty talk, because Zhang Lexuan was not that kind of person at all. She was an extremely persistent and determined person. Once she decided on something, she would go forward without leaving any room for retreat. It was like this for the agreed transaction at the beginning, and it is still like this now.

Perhaps even Zhang Lexuan herself did not realize that as she said these words, the obsession with the transaction was slowly dissipating in her mind.

Does she really like Beibei?

She had asked herself this question many times, but the answer she gave in the end made her feel like she was deceiving herself. Whether this was obsession or love, she was too lazy to think about it at this moment.

Repay with your life?
Xu Jiujiu murmured softly, then suddenly smiled and said:

"Of course you can, but the senior you mentioned is not a person, but my lover and his sister. If you want, I can take you to see my lover. As for his sister, she is in seclusion now and will not come out in the short term. You should have heard about the movements in Xingluo City in the past few days..."

Zhang Lexuan's pupils shrank slightly, and then she exclaimed:
"Is it the senior Extreme Douluo who possesses the ultimate attribute?"

Xu Jiujiu glanced at Ling Luochen beside her, and then thought about the backup plan that Xue Di had left on her. She didn't feel too surprised and just nodded slightly.

Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo showed the same shocked expression on their faces. The strong man who was called by Mr. Mu as stronger than him in his most victorious period actually belonged to the Xingluo Empire. This was undoubtedly an extremely precious and explosive news, and it also made them silently relieved.

If that Extreme Douluo belonged to the Sun-Moon Empire, it would be a disaster for the entire original Three Douluo Kingdoms and Shrek Academy. But now that they were sure that the other party was a strong man standing on the side of the original Three Douluo Kingdoms and had even joined the Star Luo Empire, their worries naturally dissipated slowly...
