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

Chapter 139 Stereotype
……

"Besides, young master, please don't be angry. He has already left Spirit City," said Serpent Spear Douluo.

"Left?" Qian Renxue was taken aback.

"So fast?"

"It wasn't that fast. He stayed in the Papal Palace for a few days. The High Priest probably didn't want you to be angry about this, so he didn't send the message over," said Serpent Spear Douluo.

"However, before Xuanming left Wuhun City, he seemed to have had an argument with the Pope and even fought with him."

"You've made your move?" Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow.

"what's the situation?"

"I'm not entirely sure of the specifics, but according to news from Wuhun City, Xuanming left the Pope's Palace in the middle of the night and ran all the way out of Wuhun City. His aura was very strange, so he must have been involved in a fight. However, he was taken back by the Pope not long after leaving the city," said Serpent Spear Douluo.

"When it was dawn, he left the Papal Palace again, and quickly left Wuhun City as well."

"In addition, according to the Elders' Hall, there were signs of fighting in the Papal Palace that night, and the Papal Palace was also damaged. However, the Papal said that it was because she made a mistake in her cultivation."

"A mistake?" Qian Renxue laughed.

"I thought that woman was very tolerant of him, but she still lost her temper."

"You said I was impatient, but now she's the same, isn't she?"

“Young Master is right. The Pope is just talking without understanding the situation,” Serpent Spear Douluo agreed.

"Where is he? Did he go back to Soto City?" Qian Renxue asked.

"According to the reports from our scouts in Spirit City, he should be heading back towards Heaven Dou City," said Serpent Spear Douluo.

"Young Master, he just had a falling out with the Pope. Should we... take advantage of this situation?"

Qian Renxue frowned. "He just had a conflict with the Pope. Do you think if I were to say something at a time like this, he would thank me for comforting him, or suspect that I have ulterior motives and am trying to sow discord?"

“Uh…” Serpent Spear Douluo was speechless for a moment.

"Most likely the latter."

In Xuanming's eyes, Qian Renxue was indeed a person with a stereotype!

However, this stereotype was indeed built brick by brick by Qian Renxue herself.

Of course, he wouldn't dare say such a thing.

……

Three months later.

The long-dormant Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire suddenly rippled, and a vortex slowly formed at the confluence of the cold spring and the fire spring.

Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly rose from the bottom of the spring; it was Xuanming, who had been in seclusion for a long time.

His injuries and spirit rings have been fully recovered.

In addition, it might be the stimulation of the Devouring Ring, or the accidental activation of the weapon and soul during his fight with Tang Hao, or the stimulation of the human-faced demon spider soul ring that he accidentally devoured. Furthermore, after soaking in the Yin-Yang Well for three months, his soul power, which had been depleted due to the removal of his external soul bone, had recovered and even increased by one level, reaching level forty-four.

Moreover, he vaguely sensed that his restored spirit rings were somewhat different from before, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

We need to observe it gradually.

After emerging from the bottom of the spring, Xuanming did not immediately go ashore, nor did he make any grand entrance. He simply poked his head above the water, his wet hair clinging to his cheeks, water droplets dripping from the ends of his hair.

"Why don't you... turn your head around?"

Xuanming looked at Ah Yin, who was lying on the shore with her eyes fixed on him, seemingly waiting for a long time, and said with some helplessness.

"What's wrong?" Ah Yin asked, looking puzzled and curious, her head tilted slightly, looking incredibly cute.

"I'm not wearing any clothes." Xuanming was speechless.

"Are you shy?" Ah Yin revealed a sly smile, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, and her eyes carrying a hint of teasing.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's not like I haven't seen it before."

Xuanming sighed. He saw swirling ice mist around him, which quickly enveloped him and then condensed into a thin layer of ice crystals, as if he were wearing a crystal-clear suit of armor.

"Huh?" Ah Yin looked confused.

"You're cheating!"

I'll blame you, you bitch!
Xuanming went ashore speechlessly and quickly got dressed.

"Has Dugu Bo been here?" Xuanming asked.

"I've already been here." Ah Yin turned around angrily. She finally had a chance to tease Xuan Ming, and this guy cheated!
"I need to go out for a bit," Xuanming said.

Ah Yin paused for a moment, then turned around. "Going out again?"

“I’ve been missing for months. If I don’t show my face soon, people outside will probably start to suspect that I’m dead,” Xuanming said.

"Oh..." Ah Yin looked somewhat disappointed. Her bright eyes dimmed instantly, and her head drooped.

"What's wrong?" Xuanming asked.

"Can I... go out with you?" Ah Yin asked cautiously, her voice so low it was almost inaudible, her head bowed even lower.

"What are you going out for?" Xuanming asked, puzzled.

"I'm all alone here..." Ah Yin said, her head down, her voice tinged with loneliness.

The immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire have not yet developed complete consciousness. The few that are conscious ignore her since she is just a Blue Silver Grass.

Especially when Xuanming and the Ice Dragon King are not around, these powerful flowers and plants will release their auras to bully her. Fortunately, the Acacia Heartbreak Red is protecting her, otherwise she would probably have fallen into a deep sleep long ago.

"Once we get out, we can't just transform into this form." Xuanming came to Ah Yin's original form, took out a small shovel and a flowerpot, and began transplanting.

Ah Yin was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up. "I'll do whatever you say!"

……

Tiandou City.

After leaving the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Xuanming flew directly towards this place.

Following his usual route, he would first go to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy before entering the city, but since Dugu Yan and the others hadn't returned yet, he went directly into the city.

"Did Dugu Bo say anything to you?" Xuanming asked.

“He said the Crown Prince wants to see you and asks you to go to the Crown Prince’s residence after you come out,” Ah Yin said.

"Is there anything else?" Xuanming asked.

“That’s all,” Ah Yin said.

Xuanming stopped and looked at the two roads in front of him.

The left side leads to the Imperial Palace, which is also the Crown Prince's Residence; the right side leads to the center of Tiandou City, where Yuexuan is located.

After thinking for a moment, Xuanming turned right.

He can go to the Crown Prince's residence anytime, and Xue Qinghe's spies should have already been sending messages after he entered the city, so there's no big problem whether he goes or not.

Let's go check out Yuexuan first.

He had told Tang Yuehua that he would be back in two months at most, but from the moment he left the city, it took him more than a month to hunt for a spirit ring in the Star Dou Great Forest, then another half month in Soto City, another half month to get to Wuhun City, and almost another half month to get back from Wuhun City. Then it took him three months in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. All in all...

He's been away for more than half a year!

"I'm going to start nagging again..."

Xuanming stood at the entrance of Yuexuan, hesitating whether he should go see Xue Qinghe first and bring him along.

If Xue Qinghe were present, Tang Yuehua would restrain herself a bit.

"Xuan Ming?"

Just as Xuanming was about to turn and run away, Steward Aud returned from shopping, and the two bumped into each other.

"You're finally back." Steward Ode breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master has been very worried these past few months, contacting people everywhere to look for you."

"I……"

"Don't stand outside, come inside quickly." With that, Steward Aud strode into Moon Pavilion.

"Master Xuan! Xuanming is back!"

"You're back? Where is she?"

"It's right outside."

"He still knows how to come back?"

"..."
