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

Chapter 174 It’s none of your business
……

The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is surrounded by a mixture of hot and cold air, creating a strange and hazy scene.

The misty water vapor slowly rises in the air, and occasionally ice crystals fall from above, turning into wisps of water mist in mid-air.

"So, you've come to threaten me?"

Listening to Qian Renxue's explanation, Xuanming's expression didn't change. After all, he had already thought about these things. Qian Daoliu was a cautious person, and since he had decided to take action, he would definitely take precautions.

"Just like back in Spirit City?"

"I'm not threatening you!" Qian Renxue was extremely anxious. She stepped forward and grabbed Xuanming's shoulders tightly with both hands like iron clamps, her nails turning white from the force.

"Please, just this once, please listen to me."

Xuanming frowned slightly, trying to break free, but he simply couldn't muster any strength at all.

"Can you let me go?"

Qian Renxue not only didn't let go, but gripped even tighter. Her body leaned forward slightly, almost pressed against Xuan Ming. "Even if you don't care about your own life or death, don't you think about Dugu Yan? Don't you think about Hu Liena?"

"Don't you think about Tang Yuehua? Once this matter is classified against Tang Hao, the Spirit Hall will definitely pursue the Clear Sky Sect again, and Tang Yuehua won't be able to escape it then!"

“Still a threat,” Xuanming said.

"This is not a threat!" Qian Renxue's eyes glistened with tears. She took a step forward and slammed her body heavily into Xuan Ming, knocking him to the ground.

Why won't you believe me?

"I don't trust anyone." Xuanming's expression remained unchanged.

"And me?" The Ice Dragon King's voice echoed in Xuanming's mind.

"Are you even human?" Xuanming was speechless.

"..." Ice Dragon King.

Why do you say that?

"Then what will it take for you to believe me?" Qian Renxue's eyes glistened with tears, her voice trembling with sobs.

"You want me to swear?"

"Why are you……"

"it is good!"

"By the Angel God above, I, Qian Renxue, swear on my Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul that what I have said today is not a lie, or may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

Xuanming was slightly taken aback. "Are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy!" Qian Renxue said, her eyes blurry with tears but her gaze firm, her voice filled with a mixture of sorrow and determination.

"Don't you believe me now?"

Xuanming was silent for a moment, then said, "Is it really necessary?"

Qian Renxue bit her lower lip tightly, letting tears stream down her cheeks. "As for..."

She had no friends since she was a child. Although Xuanming always teased and angered her, he was her only friend in Tiandou City.

She was unwilling to back down before, thinking there was still time, and she didn't want to see that woman laugh at her because of it.

But when her grandfather actually took action and was about to kill Xuanming, she realized that she simply couldn't accept losing this bastard!
“But things have already escalated to this point, do you think there’s any point left?” Xuanming asked.

Qian Renxue's tears fell onto Xuan Ming's cheek, carrying a warm touch. She choked out, "It's meaningful. As long as you survive, there's still a chance. I'll go and beg my grandfather again. He'll listen to me..."

"You're persuading your grandfather to give up killing me now, but what if I were to kill him in the future?" Xuanming asked.

"Can you stop me?"

Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback, "I..."

"Don't get yourself stuck in the middle," Xuanming said.

"Don't think you can have it both ways; that will only make you dislike both sides. That's what you said."

Qian Renxue bit her lower lip, took a deep breath, and stared at Xuan Ming: "If that day ever comes, I will stand in front of him."

"..."

“You’re too greedy,” Xuanming said.

"To preserve something, you must give up something else; that's what you taught me."

"But now, you want everything."

"If you're too greedy, you'll easily end up empty-handed."

Qian Renxue's eyes reddened again, tears welling up but stubbornly refusing to fall. "I know, but I can't give up..."

"I can not do it."

Qian Renxue bent down and lay on Xuan Ming's chest.

Xuanming could clearly feel the wetness and heat on her cheeks. He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to push her away, but his arms were held tightly by Qian Renxue.

Hard control again!

"Go ahead and bite her." The Ice Dragon King's sly voice echoed in Xuan Ming's mind.

"Such large dragons can't just be decorations, can they?"

Xuanming was utterly speechless and didn't want to pay any attention to the Ice Dragon King. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his tone, and said to Qian Renxue, who was nestled against his chest:
"Can you get up?"

Qian Renxue seemed not to hear him, still clinging tightly to him, her voice tinged with a hint of resentment: "I won't get up."

"You're too heavy, you're crushing me."

"..." Qian Renxue.

"I'll just crush you to death!"

Outside the valley, Qian Renxue was nowhere to be seen, and Qian Daoliu's patience gradually wore thin.

If there really is only Xuanming inside, putting Qian Renxue in would be tantamount to handing that kid's life over to Qian Renxue.

Bibi Dong wouldn't take that kind of risk, so there must be other people involved.

It's either Tang Hao, Dugu Bo, or both.

As an offering to the angel god, his demigod body can store a portion of angelic power. Although not much and unable to regenerate on its own, it is sufficient for emergency use in critical moments.

Given Bibi Dong's previous kidnapping of Qian Renxue, as a precaution, before entering Sunset Forest, he had sealed the angelic divine power stored in his body into the angelic divine armor head soul bone that Qian Renxue had absorbed. If she encounters a life-or-death situation within seven days, that power will protect Qian Renxue. Not to mention Tang Hao and Dugu Bo, even Bibi Dong will not be able to harm her in a short period of time.

Hu Liena and Dugu Yan were merely decoys to lower Bibi Dong's guard; the divine power sealed within the Angelic Armor Soul Bone was his true insurance.

But so much time has passed, why is there still no movement?

Did something really happen?
Thinking of this, Qian Daoliu's last bit of patience completely disappeared.

But seeing Bibi Dong blocking his way, he couldn't force his way through.

After thinking for a moment, Qian Daoliu looked at She Long and said something in a telepathic voice.

She Long gritted his teeth, nodded, took a deep breath, and suddenly shot towards the other side of the poison array.

"She Long!" Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed, her attention shifting from Qian Daoliu, and she instinctively went to block him.

Taking advantage of this gap, Qian Daoliu unleashed his extreme speed, instantly overtaking Bibi Dong and rushing into the valley.

"Thousands of streams!"

Bibi Dong roared, her eight-winged purple wings flapping violently as she soared upwards.

Having distracted himself, She Long stopped and didn't actually rush in.

"Are you crazy?" Yue Guan looked at She Long with a strange expression.

"Don't want to die?"

She Long glared at Yue Guan.

It's as if he had a choice!
"Elder Ju, shall we... go in?" Salas, the Platinum Bishop of Tiandou City, asked in a low voice.

"Go in?" Yue Guan turned to look at Salas, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

"You've had enough of living already?"

Salas's expression froze. "No...no."

……

Qian Daoliu rushed into the valley like a bolt of lightning that ripped through the sky. His powerful soul force spread outwards like a surging tide, breaking the vegetation in the valley wherever it passed. The water vapor above the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire was also violently stirred up by this force.

Bibi Dong followed closely behind, her black robes fluttering in the wind, her eight-winged purple wings radiating a mysterious and powerful purple light, each flap creating a sharp gust of air.

But her speed was ultimately no match for Qian Daoliu, and she couldn't catch up at all.

Qian Renxue was lying on Xuan Ming's body when she suddenly felt a terrifying surge of soul power. She abruptly raised her head, her face turning deathly pale.

Qian Daoliu rushed to the bottom of the valley and saw the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, as well as Qian Renxue and Xuanming.

Then, his expression suddenly became tense.

"Sendou Ryu! You..."

Bibi Dong followed closely behind, but before she could finish speaking, her face fell.

Qian Renxue was sitting on Xuan Ming's waist, leaning over him and pressing down on his hands.

That posture just doesn't look right!
"Get down!" Bibi Dong shouted coldly.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue, who was about to move aside to explain to Qian Daoliu, stopped and looked at Bibi Dong with a cold face, "What's it to you?"

Bibi Dong clenched her fist, "Shameless!"

"I'm shameless? You think you know shame?" Qian Renxue asked coldly.

"How dare you steal a man from your own daughter?"

"You!" A hint of panic flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.

"What, did I hit the nail on the head?" Qian Renxue sneered.

"I wonder how you could go to such lengths for him. I'm really curious what Hu Liena would think of you if she knew what you've done!"

"You're not only competing with me, you're competing with her too!"

"..."

Listening to this jumble of words, Qian Daoliu's gaze flickered between the three of them, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, his mind struggling to process what was going on.

"Xiaoxue, what are you saying?"

"Grandpa, haven't you realized what's happening yet?" Qian Renxue looked at Bibi Dong, who was speechless.

"If she didn't have those feelings for Xuanming, how could she have gone to such lengths for him?"

Qian Daoliu turned to look at Bibi Dong, "You..."

"What's it to you?" Bibi Dong said coldly.

"..." Qian Daoliu.

Crazy! All crazy!
