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

Chapter 122 Bullying
……

The Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, whose body was frozen by Xuanming and rendered unable to move, was quickly captured by Tang San and his group.

"stop!"

Just as Oscar was about to make his move to obtain the spirit ring, a hoarse, sharp shout suddenly came from afar. Immediately afterwards, two figures darted out from the direction from which the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent had flown.

An old woman and a young girl, both women, appeared to be in their sixties or seventies with a full head of white hair. She held a three-meter-long snake-head cane and had six spirit rings pulsating around her. Beside her was a beautiful girl of sixteen or seventeen, with short, ear-length hair and snow-white skin. She also held a snake-head cane, only two meters long, and had two yellow spirit rings pulsating around her.

After seeing the spirit rings on the two individuals, the Shrek group breathed a sigh of relief.

But the old woman's expression changed, because the seven spirit rings on Flander's body clearly indicated that he was a Spirit Saint!
This is only the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, how could a Soul Saint appear here?

This was completely beyond her expectations, leaving her momentarily at a loss and even somewhat regretful for chasing after him.

“Snake Staff, Soul Emperor… Senior, are you Snake Granny, or Chaotianxiang?” Yu Xiaogang asked.

Chao Tianxiang then noticed Yu Xiaogang behind Flander, an unassuming man with a weak aura. "Indeed, may I ask who you are..."

"This is Yu Xiaogang, and this is Flander," Yu Xiaogang introduced.

"Flanders?" Chao Tianxiang was taken aback.

"The Golden Trio, Flander the Four-Eyed Owl?"

"It is indeed this junior." Flander, being a shrewd person, although his cultivation was higher than that of the Snake Woman, did not put on any arrogant or superior airs. Instead, he immediately lowered his posture, referred to himself as a junior, and his face was full of smiles, appearing as humble as could be.

The Dragon Lord and the Snake Lady are inseparable; if the Snake Lady is here, then the Dragon Lord Meng Shu cannot be too far away.

Having spent a long time in the Great Soul Arena and had a wealth of experience, Flander quickly began negotiating with Snake Woman.

He immediately launched into a tirade of flattery, saying with a fawning expression, "Senior Snake Granny, you are a legendary figure in the world of Soul Masters! Your reputation is legendary, and I have always held you in the highest esteem. Look at you, not only are you incredibly powerful, but you are also so generous, taking such good care of us juniors. It is truly an honor for me to meet you here today!"

A flood of praise poured over Chaotianxiang, leaving her speechless.

Seeing this, Shrek and his friends couldn't help but want to laugh, but they held it in, their faces turning red.

Flander's strength surpassed that of Chaotianxiang, and he immediately adopted a humble attitude, giving Snake Woman ample face. Coupled with his boastful combination punches, he caught Snake Woman off guard, leaving her completely at a loss for how to respond.

Even if the snake-woman injured the crested snake first, they were the ones who caught it. Since both sides were in the right and it was not advisable to resort to violence, it all came down to who was more shameless!

Clearly, in terms of shamelessness, Snake Woman is no match for Flander!

After some negotiation, Chao Tianxiang was so flattered by Flander that she found it hard to speak. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but felt that whatever she said would be inappropriate.

Moreover, since Flander has already gone this far, if she were to threaten him with the Dragon Lord again, with Flander's strength as a Battle Soul Saint of Agility and Attack, it wouldn't be difficult for him to keep the grandmother and granddaughter here!

Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

"Grandma, we clearly caught this crested snake first, why should we give it to them?"

"Since he calls himself a junior, shouldn't a junior show deference to a senior?"

Snake Granny was already hesitant and ready to back down. She knew that the group in front of her was not to be trifled with, especially Flander, whose strength as a Soul Saint was no joke.

However, the young and impetuous Meng Yiran failed to grasp the situation. She was still young and pampered, so she had no idea about the intricacies involved.

Listening to Flander's various modesty remarks and his praise of the Dragon and Snake family, she subconsciously felt that Flander would never dare to provoke the Dragon and Snake family, and immediately became tough, completely unaware of the subtle atmosphere at the scene.

“Yiran.” Chaotianxiang tugged at Meng Yiran.

"No rudeness."

“Grandma, we went through so much trouble to find this, how can you just give it away so easily?” Meng Yiran said.

Seeing Meng Yiran like this, Flander felt helpless.

Even the Snake Woman is about to give in, what are you doing, a little girl, causing trouble?
But considering that the Dragon Lord might be nearby, Flander didn't want to say anything too harsh. "Since the little girl is reluctant to part with the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent, why don't we follow the rules of the Soul Master world and let the children decide for themselves who owns the Soul Ring?"

Chao Tianxiang was taken aback, clearly surprised that Flander would still back down so much despite having the upper hand. However, since the other party had given her this face, she naturally had to accept it, after all, the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent was also very important to Meng Yiran! If she missed this opportunity, she didn't know when she would be able to encounter a suitable soul beast again.

“Then let it be as Brother Fu says,” said the Snake Woman.

Seeing that the snake woman had taken the bait, Flander revealed that Oscar, being a food-type soul master, was unable to fight. At the same time, he suggested that Tang San, a level 29 two-ring great soul master, fight in his place.

With Tang San's skill in using hidden weapons, not to mention a Great Soul Master, even an ordinary Soul Venerable would not be able to gain the upper hand in front of him.

The girl opposite him is definitely no match for Tang San.

"I'm not going to fight this kid, I'm going to fight that one." Meng Yiran suddenly pointed her snake staff at Xuanming, who had been sitting by the tree the whole time, remaining aloof.

She felt that Tang San looked too young, and even if he won, he wouldn't feel a sense of accomplishment. On the other hand, Xuan Ming was sitting there with a suppressive aura, which made her feel more challenged.

“Him?” Flander was taken aback.

"Are you sure? No, he's not one of Shrek's men, he's my guest."

"Guests?" Meng Yiran frowned slightly.

"Sister Chao, have you ever heard of the legend of the Great Soul Arena, the Netherworld Dragon Emperor?" Flander asked.

Chao Tianxiang's expression changed slightly. Upon closer inspection, she saw Xuanming peeking out from behind the tree, with half of his body visible and a black dragon growing from his back. "It's him?"

"Isn't he in Heaven Dou City?"

“He was acquainted with one of my former students. He happened to be passing by Shrek and came across this incident, so he came with us,” Flander explained.

"The Dragon Emperor of the Underworld?" Meng Yiran frowned slightly.

"What level of cultivation does he have that he dares to use such an arrogant nickname?"

"Ahem, Yiran, don't talk nonsense." Chao Tianxiang quickly pulled Meng Yiran.

The title "Dragon Emperor of the Underworld" is no ordinary nickname; it represents the attitude of the seven major families in the Great Soul Arena!

Moreover, this kid is very close to the Heaven Dou royal family and has a close relationship with Poison Douluo Dugu Bo. He is not someone that the Dragon Snake family can afford to offend!

Upon hearing this, Xuanming finally opened his eyes and stood up.

If he remembered correctly, the human-faced demon spider that Tang San encountered was injured by the Dragon Lord while being chased. Now that the Dragon Lord wasn't here, he was probably chasing after that human-faced demon spider.

He had no patience to continue strolling around with these people. Finding the Dragon Lord would lead him to the human-faced demon spider!

"I'll fight you," Xuanming said calmly.

"They're going to bully people again..." Xiao Wu couldn't help but mutter.

Xuanming glanced at Xiaowu speechlessly, "I won't bully you. I won't use my soul skills. As long as you can make me move one step, you win."

"And even if you lose, I can help you find a suitable soul beast."

"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback. When did Xuanming become so easy to talk to?
Flander's gaze darted back and forth between Xuanming and Meng Yiran.

Could it be that Xuanming has taken a liking to this girl?
Meng Yiran looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Her body was already fully developed, and she was very beautiful. In comparison, Xiao Wu and the others did look too immature.

"Really?" Before Meng Yiran could say anything, the Snake Granny spoke up.

“Really?” Xuanming said.

If he wanted to find the Dragon Lord, he couldn't just blindly follow him; he needed to come up with a plausible reason.

Perfect, take one and return the other.
