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

Chapter 157 Not even children are spared

……

"strangeness……"

Inside the Crown Prince's residence, Qian Renxue, who had not seen Xuanming arrive for a long time, felt that something was amiss.

The news of Tang Yuehua has spread throughout Tiandou City in the past few days. The royal family has also put in a lot of effort to further amplify the impact of this matter in order to protect Xue Qinghe's reputation.

Xuanming was ultimately just a child, and for Tang Yuehua to have this kind of relationship with him was a significant blow to her own image.

But Xuanming didn't come over to argue with her for a long time?
"Uncle She, what do you think?" Qian Renxue looked at the Serpent Spear Douluo.

"Young Master, in my opinion, you'd better go find him yourself and explain this matter clearly," Serpent Spear Douluo said in a deep voice, bowing slightly.

“It’s not a good thing that he doesn’t initiate arguments with you.”

This incident had a significant impact on Tang Yuehua, and Xuanming could certainly guess whose idea it was.

If this were in the past, Xuanming would have come knocking on their door long ago!

But so far he has neither looked for Xue Qinghe nor Qian Renxue, as if nothing had happened.

Qian Renxue frowned slightly, tapping her fingertips lightly on the table. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "But given his personality and his stereotypical impression of me, do you think he would believe me if I took the initiative to explain?"

"Besides, how can I explain this?"

Xuanming now has the same attitude towards Qian Renxue and Xue Qinghe; in his eyes, they are two birds of a feather.

"Young Master, perhaps you shouldn't have used such methods in the first place," the Serpent Spear Douluo sighed softly.

There may be a special relationship between Xue Qinghe and Xuan Ming. In the beginning, it was actually Qian Renxue who was behind this. She wanted to give Xuan Ming a little stimulation, but unfortunately, Xuan Ming didn't care about such things at all.

As a result, things got out of control and ended up like this.

"What's the use of saying all this now that things have come to this?" Qian Renxue waved her sleeve lightly, a hint of helplessness in her expression.

"Never mind that for now, the Pope is about to arrive in Tiandou City."

"She will definitely put pressure on the Heaven Dou royal family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I need to discuss with Ning Fengzhi how to deal with this papal inspection."

……

Tiandou Royal Academy.

It was noon, and Xuanming was eating in the cafeteria as usual.

However, now there is also Arou as a study companion.

Arou had already reached level 70 a few years ago, but thinking that she would have to sacrifice herself anyway, and that level 70 was enough to protect herself, she did not choose to continue acquiring soul rings.

A level 70, six-ring Soul Emperor is strong enough to be considered a Heaven Dou-level teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. However, Arou has no interest in that. Xuanming only helped her obtain a companion status, allowing her to freely enter and leave the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"what happened?"

Unable to bear the strange looks from Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling any longer, Xuanming put down his chopsticks and asked.

"You... haven't you heard?" Dugu Yan clenched her small fists, looking at Xuan Ming nervously.

"Who taught you to say things in half-finished sentences?" Xuanming was speechless.

"That one?" Dugu Yan hesitated to say it.

"Yuexuan," Ye Lingling whispered.

"I heard about it, what happened?" Xuanming asked.

Because he carried Tang Yuehua back to Yuexuan that day, rumors and gossip spread throughout Tiandou City in less than a day.

"What's wrong?" Dugu Yan hesitated. "How did you and Master Yuehua Pavilion get together...?"

“I’ve had an affair with Xue Qinghe, so what’s wrong with me?” Xuanming said.

"If men can do it, why can't women?"

Dugu Yan's eye twitched slightly. "So, it's fake too?"

"How could it be fake? She and I are a perfect match, aren't we?" Xuanming said calmly.

Dugu Yan was so shocked by Xuan Ming's words that she almost jumped up from her seat. Ye Lingling was also astonished, her mouth slightly agape as she looked at Xuan Ming in disbelief. Arou gently shook her head, a helpless smile in her eyes. As someone who knew the whole story, she naturally knew that he was deliberately trying to annoy her.

"No, you...you're serious?" Dugu Yan looked at Xuan Ming, somewhat at a loss.

"Is there a problem?" Xuanming asked back, then continued eating.

Got a problem? Big problem!
Dugu Yan blushed, but didn't know what to say.

Her grandfather used to say that Xuanming's personality was only suitable for a slightly older girl like her, because an older girl would be more caring!
She was unhappy at the time, but now, Xuanming has actually gotten together with someone who could be his mother?

"This...this isn't quite appropriate, is it?" Dugu Yan said somewhat guiltily.

“I think it’s quite suitable,” Xuanming said while eating.

Dugu Yan's expression tightened. "Xuanming, you can't be so foolish! Although the Moonflower Pavilion Master is... well, she's still quite old. The age gap between you two is huge..."

She's old enough to be your mom!

"I don't care," Xuanming said indifferently.

“You…you…” Dugu Yan stamped her feet anxiously.

No wonder! No wonder he always runs to Yuexuan at the appointed time every month!
How could Tang Yuehua do such a thing!

They don't even spare children!
Seeing Dugu Yan's anxious expression, Ye Lingling hesitated to speak.

This is obviously just a prank on you, isn't it?

……

On the other side, on the official road less than a hundred miles from Tiandou City.

A row of magnificent carriages stood in neat rows, like a winding dragon, slowly moving forward on the official road.

At the center of the caravan was the largest and most luxurious carriage, twice the size of an ordinary carriage, pulled by eight pure white horses without a single blemish.

A huge purple gemstone was inlaid on the top of the carriage, shining brightly in the sunlight. Soft purple gauze curtains, embroidered with gold patterns, hung all around, swaying gently in the breeze.

Surrounding the convoy were hundreds of Spirit Hall knights, all clad in silver armor and possessing at least the cultivation level of a Soul King.

"You can make your own arrangements." A slightly weary voice drifted out from inside the carriage.

Yue Guan sensed the weariness in Bibi Dong's voice and cautiously inquired, "Your Holiness, would you like to rest for a while?"

"No need, let's continue on our way," Bibi Dong said calmly.

"Yes, sir." Yue Guan nodded slightly and then returned to his position.

"Teacher, are you not getting enough rest?" Hu Liena asked softly, her face showing concern.

"A little, let's talk about it after we get into the city." Bibi Dong rubbed her forehead, her gaze darting away, not daring to look at Hu Liena.

"Huh? Why do you look like this? You're about to see the person you've been longing for, so why don't you seem happy?" The teasing voice of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox suddenly rang in Bibi Dong's mind.

"Shut up!" Bibi Dong's eyebrows shot up, and she coldly rebuked.

"Oh, oh, oh! When you were wallowing in the illusion, why weren't you so tough?" the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox mocked mercilessly.

"If you're so capable, then stop dreaming and stop thinking about him."

"If you don't miss him, no matter how capable I am, I can't put him into your dreams."

"I told you to shut up!" Bibi Dong snapped angrily.

"Yes, yes, Your Holiness, I'll shut up," the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox replied perfunctorily.

"But you'll be meeting the real person soon, do you still need me to help you dream tonight?"

"roll!"

"Oh dear~ If you don't need it, you don't need it. Why get angry?"

"..."

"Is it really not necessary?"
