Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 116 If you can't beat them, slander them
……

“Tang Yuehua,” Xuanming said.

As for the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone, he could say it was a forced sale; he stole someone's soul bone, and if he later managed to bring that person back to life, it wouldn't be too unethical.

But now, Tang Hao is doing it all because of Tang Yuehua...

"How about I get her some flowers and plants to eat?" Xuanming said.

“I don’t think she needs flowers and plants,” the Ice Dragon King said strangely.

"If you could just... get a little closer, I think she would be very happy."

After all these years, she has come to see Tang Yuehua for who she really is.

At first, she felt sympathy for Xuanming, but later, it almost turned into pure liking. After all, no one could dislike such an obedient, intelligent, and good-looking child.

In addition, that woman has been single all this time, so her maternal instincts have been overflowing and have fallen on Xuanming's head.

Unfortunately, Xuanming wasn't very fond of this kind of maternal love. He would subconsciously resist anything he wasn't used to, regardless of whether it was good or bad.

An ordinary person would definitely not be able to stand such an unyielding block of ice, but Tang Yuehua is a woman who can see through people's hearts. The more Xuanming resisted, the more she liked to get closer. Through pure goodwill, she forced Xuanming to feel embarrassed to refuse anymore, just like an adult teasing a child.

"Let's talk about getting closer later." Xuanming took out two more pills and swallowed them.

The first two spirit rings were fine, but the fourth spirit ring's burst was too terrifying. Now his body is in a state of extreme overexertion, and he can't use the Blood Spear for a while, otherwise this thing will really devour its master!

The next day, after dark, Xuanming slowly returned to Soto City.

He didn't go back to Shrek Academy. After all, he had already done what he needed to do, and there was no need to stay there. It was uncomfortable and unpleasant to stay there.

Although he hadn't been pampered during his years of cultivation, he also had no interest in deliberately experiencing any hardship.

It's not like he hasn't experienced hardship.

Moreover, he needs to rest, and if the conditions become even more difficult, he might actually end up in jail.

"You'd better be careful for the next month. If anything goes wrong with you in this empty state, I'll have to take action," the Ice Dragon King said.

The Devouring Ring technique is ultimately a move that excessively unleashes soul power and martial spirit. Blood Spear is currently in a state of extreme hunger and will need a month to calm down. During this period, Xuanming cannot use Blood Spear again; otherwise, he would truly be feeding Blood Spear with his own flesh and blood.

During his time at Yuexuan, Xuanming learned self-control and self-calmness, but the Blood Spear had no such restraint, let alone calmness!
This thing won't stop devouring until it's full!

“I know, I don’t have anything else to say…” Xuanming stopped in his tracks.

No, he still needs to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to see if he can get his hands on the Eight Spider Spears.

Tang Yuehua's favor is Tang Yuehua's responsibility. At most, he will give Tang Hao some face and not lay a hand on Tang San. He still has to try out the Eight Spider Lances.

"Are you OK?"

A cold but somewhat worried voice suddenly rang out. Xuanming came back to his senses and found that Zhu Zhuqing had come to his side at some point, along with Tang San and his group, all standing in front of him.

"What's wrong?" Xuanming asked.

"Your complexion doesn't look right," Zhu Zhuqing said.

Although Xuanming looked cold, it wasn't the sickly white kind, but rather a simple repression. But now, both his unstable aura and his slightly pale face indicated that he was in very poor condition!
"It's nothing, I just got into a fight," Xuanming said.

"Fighting?" Xiao Wu was somewhat surprised.

Who could possibly beat Xuanming like this?

"Where is your mother?" Xuanming asked.

"She went back to the hotel, the one we used to stay at," Xiao Wu said.

"I'll take you there."

"No need, I can go by myself." Xuanming turned to leave, but suddenly a cold aura surged within him. Caught off guard, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Xuanming's vomiting of blood caused everyone present to change their expressions.

Zhu Zhuqing reacted quickly, rushing forward to support him. Her brows furrowed, her voice tinged with anxiety, "You're like this and you still say you're fine." "Men all like to pretend to be strong, don't they?" Xiao Wu also supported Xuan Ming, unable to resist teasing him.

Xuanming was speechless, but he forcibly activated his domain to suppress his injuries, while mentally asking the Ice Dragon King, "What are you doing?"

The aftereffects of the Devouring Ring are troublesome, but he can use the suppressive power of his domain to forcibly suppress the backlash of his soul power and slowly recover.

But just now, the Ice Dragon King suddenly bumped into him, disrupting his soul power circulation and aggravating his injuries.

“True friendship is revealed in times of trouble. I want to see their reaction,” the Ice Dragon King said.

"What genuine feelings do I have for them?" Xuanming was speechless.

"It's hard to say," said the Ice Dragon King.

Xuanming is a rather slow-to-warm-up person because he is very guarded and doesn't easily trust others, but once he trusts someone, he won't easily doubt them.

However, the feelings between people often don't need time, but rather the right opportunity; the so-called love at first sight is a good example.

The development of a relationship is a long process, but falling in love can happen in an instant.

But Xuanming didn't believe in such things. He thought that a momentary impulse was just that—a momentary impulse—and that everything that came about would disappear once the passion cooled down.

It comes quickly and goes quickly; he's not interested in that kind of thing.

However, not everyone is like him.

"I'm fine." Xuanming barely managed to control his injuries and straightened up.

"Just take a rest."

Zhu Zhuqing did not let go of Xuanming's hand, but continued to support him, saying, "I'll take you to the hotel."

“Yes, it would be very dangerous if you got dizzy on the way,” Xiao Wu said.

"I'll take you to your mother."

Xuanming looked at Xiaowu with some confusion, "Have you lost your mind?"

Zhu Zhuqing's concern for him can be understood as a result of their acquaintance over the past few days, which could barely be considered friendship.

But Xiao Wu, this little rabbit probably wishes he would die sooner, right?

"Stop being so hesitant. Everyone says it's fine, yet you still keep trying." Dai Mubai snorted coldly, his voice filled with barely concealed anger.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced coldly at Dai Mubai, her eyes filled with disdain and disgust. "It's still cleaner than you."

"You!" Dai Mubai clenched his fist, and a strong white light flashed on his hand.

"I have the utmost contempt for men who pretend to be weak and pitiful in front of women!"

Dai Mubai glared at Xuan Ming through gritted teeth, channeling all his anger onto Xuan Ming as if Xuan Ming were the culprit who had caused him so much humiliation.

Xuanming frowned slightly, speechless. What kind of ghost fire was this? How did it end up burning him for no reason? He was only slightly injured, so how did he become the man Dai Mubai described as "pretending to be weak and pitiful"?
Some say he's stubborn, others say he's brainless and reckless, but this is the first time someone has said he's pretending to be weak and pitiful.

Could this jealousy be any more blatant?
So you resort to slander because you can't compete?

"Why did I have to throw up now, of all times, but I had to run into you guys?" Dai Mubai sneered.

"What did you say?" Xiao Wu looked at Dai Mubai with some anger.

"Stop." Xuanming raised his hand to interrupt.

"Stop with this nonsense, just say you want to take action."

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!" Dai Mubai was also enraged.

Zhu Zhuqing's coldness and indifference towards him was already enough to infuriate him.

But then, turning around, she actually showed concern for another man right in front of him!
Isn't this a provocation?
