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

Chapter 141

……

"Fine! Let's not talk about this!" Qian Renxue gritted her teeth.

"As you said, let's talk about work."

She deliberately emphasized the word "work" in an attempt to steer the conversation back on track.

"Where's Zhu Zhuqing? Don't tell me you've forgotten about her," Qian Renxue asked.

“She’s at Shrek Academy,” Xuanming said.

"You just dumped her on her fiancé?" Qian Renxue asked.

Xuanming looked puzzled, his brows furrowing slightly. "Otherwise what?"

Zhu Zhuqing still held expectations for Dai Mubai, otherwise she wouldn't have come all the way from Xingluo.

He originally planned to give the soul bone to Bibi Dong and then return to Soto City to check on the situation.

But he never expected things to turn out that way.

He can barely protect himself, so why would he specifically run back to Soto City first, bringing along Zhu Zhuqing, who is unwilling and still harbors illusions about Dai Mubai?
"Are you sure you're not mistaken about something?" Xuanming asked.

"When you dumped her on me and left, you said I could do whatever I wanted with her, and I never agreed to that."

"Besides, I was seriously injured and secluded for several months, and I've only just recovered. You're already urging me to become your prostitute?"

"I..." Qian Renxue was speechless for a moment, opening her mouth but not knowing what to say.

"I didn't know you were injured..."

"Then what do you think I've been doing in Sunset Forest these past few months? Just looking at the scenery?" Xuanming asked, somewhat annoyed.

"I know you don't treat me like a human being, but even if I were a cow, horse, chicken, or duck, you wouldn't be pushing me this hard, would you?"

"Could you give me a couple of days off?"

Qian Renxue pursed her lips, turning her face away somewhat awkwardly, "It was my oversight, please don't..."

"I'm sorry to have disappointed you!" With that, Xuanming turned and left.

"Stop!" Qian Renxue shouted, leaping into the air to block Xuan Ming's path.

"I didn't know you were injured, why are you taking it out on me?"

Xuanming took a deep breath, trying to calm his tone, "I was wrong, I offended you. Can I go to work now?"

"You..." Qian Renxue was speechless.

"Is that alright?" Xuanming repeated.

"..."

……

The next morning.

"gone?"

Qian Renxue had just finished her cultivation and opened her eyes when Serpent Spear Douluo returned with news that Xuanming had already left Heaven Dou City.

Seeing Xuanming about to explode last night, Qian Renxue didn't say anything more and let him leave.

"When did they leave?" Qian Renxue frowned, a sense of unease rising in her heart.

"We left Tiandou City last night," said Serpent Spear Douluo.

"Back to Sunset Forest?" Qian Renxue asked.

"No, he flew towards the Barak Kingdom, he should be heading to Soto City," said Serpent Spear Douluo.

"At his speed, he's probably already near Jialing Pass."

Xuanming's ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, which came from an unknown source, gave him a terrifying speed comparable to a flying soul master. Moreover, Xuanming's soul power was extremely pure, comparable to a soul emperor. With that kind of pure soul power driving the soul bone, his flight speed was that of an agility-type soul emperor with the ability to fly!
Add to that guy's two shameless ideas, and he can recover while flying, allowing him to fly almost indefinitely! Day and night without stopping!
However, soul bones are ultimately too conspicuous, and Xuanming rarely used them in public before. This time, he directly used a flying soul bone to travel...

"What exactly happened to him in the Papal Palace?" Qian Renxue asked.

"According to news from Wuhun City, he must have fought with the Pope at that time. However, he was still able to rush back to Sunset Forest from Wuhun City by himself..." The Serpent Spear Douluo's expression was somewhat unnatural.

"The injury shouldn't be serious."

If the Pope and Xuanming were really serious about fighting, this kid would be dead already! How could he possibly have the ability to travel all the way back to Sunset Forest from Wuhun City by himself?

"Not heavy? Didn't you see his attitude last night?" Qian Renxue frowned.

"He spent three months recuperating in Sunset Forest. Do you think it was a minor injury?"

Since the day he fought with her in the offering hall, so many years have passed, and this is the first time he's ever been so angry!
If she hadn't moved aside then, I definitely would have attacked her!

"Investigate!" Qian Renxue said.

"If you can't find out, just ask the Pope and ask her what she means."

Xuanming is now a very important card in Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's hand. If he has a problem, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Poison Douluo, and the Nine Heart Begonia, whose lineage is passed down only once, will all have problems as well!
The latter are all fine, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has now intervened in a large number of affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire, and Ning Fengzhi has even been revered as the national teacher.

For Ning Fengzhi, Xuanming's personal value is higher than that of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, and even higher than the cooperation between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Empire!

If Xuanming and Xue Qinghe fall out, Ning Fengzhi will definitely distance himself from him with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

Moreover, Xuanming is a star in the Great Soul Arena. What does a Diamond Soul Badge at less than twenty years old mean?
Whoever holds this title will have a brand that attracts countless young Soul Masters!
The Heavenly Dou Royal Family had no objection to the nickname "Dragon Emperor of the Underworld" given to them by the seven great families, and that's why!
Xuanming is now at least on the surface close to the Heaven Dou royal family, and this alone has attracted many young genius soul masters to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy over the years!
However, at the same time, those young soul masters who had gathered around Xuanming would scatter like birds and beasts if Xuanming's position was compromised!
Originally, Xuanming was just an add-on to the Heavenly Dou Empire's plan, but now he has become a very important part!

……

Soto City.

After three days and three nights of non-stop flight, Xuanming entered Soto City near midnight.

"are you OK?"

Ah Yin, who had remained silent the whole way, spoke weakly, and a part of her tendrils slowly extended from the soul tool and gently wrapped around Xuan Ming's wrist.

"I'm fine, I'm just in a bad mood," Xuanming said.

"It's much better now."

Seeing Xuanming like this, the Ice Dragon King hesitated, wondering whether he should tell Xuanming what had happened in the Papal Palace.

Over the years, Xuanming's temper had improved considerably through self-cultivation at Yuexuan, but ever since that incident in the secret chamber of the Papal Palace, he had always harbored a burning anger within him.

The fiery temper that had been building up during the three months of seclusion at the Yin-Yang Well had gradually subsided.

But after seeing Qian Renxue, that anger resurfaced.

She knew that Xuanming did not resist friendly intimacy, but what Bibi Dong had done was a huge blow to his self-esteem.

But the situation at the time wasn't what Xuan Xiangming imagined...

Upon entering Soto City, Xuanming headed in the direction where Arou was.

Halfway there, he suddenly sensed Xiao Wu's presence moving rapidly through Soto City, but not towards the hotel where A Rou was.

"In the middle of the night..." Xuanming frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and walked towards the direction where Xiaowu was.

Before long, Xuanming arrived at a secluded corner of Soto City.

A row of bungalows, more than three meters high, stood there, with several pink lanterns hanging under the eaves, swaying gently in the night breeze and emitting an ambiguous and dim light.

Several heavily made-up prostitutes were posing and soliciting customers at the entrance. Their faces were covered with thick makeup, their lips were painted bright red, and their laughter was sharp and shrill.

After only a glimpse from afar, Xuanming took a detour.

"What's that place over there?" Ah Yin asked curiously.

"It looks really lively."

“Special places where humans release their physical desires,” Xuanming said.

"Physiological desires?" Ah Yin asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Eat something?"

“Eating people,” Xuanming said calmly.

"Ah?" Ah Yin's voice trembled slightly, and the vines wrapped around Xuan Ming's wrist tightened subconsciously.

"Cannibalism? Do humans even eat their own kind?"

"Pretty much, so don't ask anymore. It's not a good place, and you shouldn't try to find out about it," Xuanming said softly, holding onto Ah Yin's vine.

"Oh..." Ah Yin was still very obedient and shut her mouth.
