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

Chapter 128 Nine-Tailed Fox Heart Lotus

……

“Fusing them is something we can try, but it’s very likely that this fusion will cause the quality of my six-winged purple light wings to decrease.” Bibi Dong frowned slightly.

"Moreover, if there is an attribute conflict with the soul bone, my six-winged purple light wings will be useless."

External soul bones are different from other soul bones. If they are produced by the same type of soul beast, they can be fused through absorption. However, this fusion is very demanding. If you are lucky, you can combine the best of both worlds. If you are unlucky, there will be attribute conflicts, and then both soul bones will be ruined.

“You should be very clear about the abilities of the Human-Faced Demon Spider. The external soul bones it produces…” Xuanming paused.

"I suggest you give it a try, you might be pleasantly surprised."

Bibi Dong thought for a moment, "Let me think about it. This thing would be a good choice for Nana too."

"She's a fox, do you want her to grow spider legs on her back?" Xuanming's eyes were somewhat strange.

"What kind of fetish is that...?"

Bibi Dong's face darkened. "How did you learn to speak at Yuexuan? Is this how Tang Yuehua taught you to speak?"

“No, she taught very well, but you know what kind of person I am,” Xuanming said.

"Straightforward and outspoken?" Bibi Dong said speechlessly.

“I have no manners,” Xuanming said.

“…” Bibi Dong.

You are invincible!

Years later, Bibi Dong once again recalled the feeling of having a heart attack from being angered by Xuanming.

To prevent herself from kicking the guy out, Bibi Dong picked up the soul bone and walked away.

"Where are you going?" Xuanming asked.

“Try fusing with this soul bone.” Bibi Dong said without turning her head.

"And what about me?" Xuanming asked.

"I came all this way to see you, and even brought you a soul bone, and you just left me here all alone?"

“Wait, I’ll have someone send a message to Nana, she’s coming to entertain you,” Bibi Dong said.

"Don't run around. Your identity is special. If word gets out, Qian Renxue won't let you off the hook."

Given Xuanming's appearance, there's simply no way he could mistake her for someone else.

However, the people around Crown Prince Xue Qinghe appeared in Wuhun City without anyone noticing and even entered the Papal Palace.

Once this gets out, Xuanming's position in the eyes of the Heavenly Dou royal family will be uncertain.

Xue Qinghe's position might be shaken as a result.

If this kind of trouble really happens, Qian Renxue will probably have to chop Xuanming up with the Holy Sword!

……

"Xuan Ming?"

Not long after Bibi Dong left, the side hall door opened again, and Hu Liena, now a young woman, walked in with light steps. She had a graceful figure, a beautiful face, and a charming and lively look in her eyes.

"Why are you back? Did something happen?"

“We’ll bring the Pope some gifts when we get back,” Xuanming said.

"A gift?" Hu Liena's eyes changed slightly, a hint of anticipation rising in her heart. "Do I have one?"

"You?" Xuanming was taken aback.

"Oh, no..." Hu Liena's eyes held a hint of resentment.

“Yes, I do.” Xuanming took out a lotus with a unique shape, nine translucent petals like ice crystals, with a ghostly blue flame along the outer edge and a pinkish-gold halo flowing inside.

Hu Liena's expression changed slightly, and she curiously leaned closer, her eyes fixed on the lotus flower. "What is this?"

“Nine-Tailed Fox Heart Lotus, a very special immortal herb,” Xuanming said.

"The magic herb? Something recorded in Grandpa Ju's books?" Hu Liena asked.

“This thing isn’t in his book, because strictly speaking, it doesn’t belong to the category of immortal herbs,” Xuanming said.

"It's extremely dangerous, and I... don't really want to give it to you." This lotus flower wasn't from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, but rather something the Ice Dragon King had Dugu Bo find for him.

Although the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings perished, their perception remained extremely strong for a long time, though they were unable to leave the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Ice Dragon King sensed an extremely powerful force being sacrificed on the eastern coast of the Douluo Continent.

Years ago, after he fused with the soul bone of the Blue Silver Emperor, the Ice Dragon King suddenly remembered this matter. He then found an opportunity to send Dugu Bo to the east bank to search for several months. Finally, they found this strange lotus flower on the cliff.

After sensing it, the Ice Dragon King discovered that this thing was not some kind of immortal herb; its essence was the remnant soul of a nine-tailed celestial fox from ancient times!

The powerful sacrificial force that the Ice Dragon King sensed was from a nine-tailed celestial fox with a cultivation level of at least 300,000 years.

Through the invasion of the dragon soul's perception, the Ice Dragon King figured out the situation of this thing.

Years ago, this celestial fox fell in love with a human soul master and willingly gave up its physical body to help him become a god, but was betrayed. The celestial fox's remnant soul merged with an ice lotus, transforming into this Nine-Tailed Fox Heart Lotus.

This lotus flower contains a terrifying resentment. Initially, the Ice Dragon King actually wanted him to give it to Bibi Dong.

After all, the evil god who inherited Bibi Dong's power played with this kind of resentment and evil thoughts, so this thing should be of great help to her.

However, he worried that if this thing stimulated Bibi Dong too much, it would be awkward.

Moreover, the remnant soul of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox should be very suitable for Hu Liena.

Even if there is a lot of resentment in it, Bibi Dong is there, so there shouldn't be any problems.

"Forget it, you should discuss it with the Pope. If she allows you to absorb it, then you can absorb it. Otherwise, don't touch this thing for now." Xuanming handed the Nine-Tailed Fox Heart Lotus to Hu Liena.

"At least, let's talk about it after you reach the Title Douluo level."

"I understand." Hu Liena carefully transplanted the Nine-Tailed Fox Heart Lotus into a flowerpot in the side hall.

"You gave me something like this, then what did you give the teacher?" Hu Liena sat back down, looking at Xuan Ming expectantly, a sense of comparison inexplicably rising in her heart.

“A piece of external soul bone produced from the Human-Faced Demon Spider,” Xuanming said.

"An external soul bone?" Hu Liena was taken aback.

"Teacher already has an external soul bone. You've seen it before, the very beautiful six-winged purple light wings."

“External soul bones with similar attributes can be absorbed and fused,” Xuanming said.

"Moreover, she has the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor Martial Soul, so she must have a way to absorb that thing."

Between level 99 and level 98, the difference in soul power is 40%, while the 50% increase in all attributes brought by the Eight Spider Lances can, to some extent, compensate for the limitations on Bibi Dong's strength caused by the Rakshasa God Trial.

Furthermore, the Eight Spider Lances also inherited the bugged ability of the Human-Faced Demon Spider to devour the opponent's soul power and replenish its own soul power consumption by 100%, which is a terrifying power in actual combat.

According to the Ice Dragon King, once his Blood Spear reaches the God-level, it should have a similar effect, and the current defect of devouring its master will also be repaired.

To put it bluntly, you have to feed it first, just like with the Dark Demon God Tiger.

"Okay, so how long do you plan to stay this time?" Hu Liena asked.

“I probably won’t be able to stay for long,” Xuanming said.

"Is the situation in Tiandou City very urgent?" Hu Liena asked worriedly.

“They’re not in a hurry over there, but… I’m afraid they can’t accommodate me here,” Xuanming said.

He can't stay in Wuhun City for too long. The Hall of Worship must already know he's come to the Papal Palace, and soon, Qian Renxue, far away in Tiandou City, will also find out.

It's fine for him to come back and visit, but if he stays here for too long, Qian Renxue's dissatisfaction with him will probably become uncontrollable.

Moreover, he came here this time intending to provoke Bibi Dong.

Because as long as Bibi Dong is unhappy, Qian Renxue will be very happy.

If he angers Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue's dissatisfaction with him will be greatly reduced.

Having offended the Pope, Qian Renxue was the only person he could rely on on this continent if he wanted to survive.

Having no other choice in his position could strengthen Qian Renxue's trust in him.

As for Bibi Dong, he came all the way here, first giving her a precious soul bone, and then giving her a treasure like Hu Liena.

Even if they really started arguing, Bibi Dong wouldn't kill him, even if it was just for Hu Liena's sake.

In this way, he could reduce Qian Renxue's dissatisfaction, increase his safety, and also resolve some of the favors he had with Bibi Dong.
