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

Chapter 199 One must have evidence to speak.
……

In that deep and tranquil forest, sunlight filters through the gaps in the branches and leaves, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow. A gentle breeze rustles the leaves.

"Brother, the girl is being so direct, why don't you make a move?" the Ice Dragon King said, sounding somewhat exasperated.

"Straightforward? What does she mean?" Xuanming asked, puzzled.

"..." Ice Dragon King.

"Didn't you realize that she was confessing her feelings?"

Xuanming's expression changed slightly. "Are you... confessing your feelings?"

Zhu Zhuqing's already fair face instantly turned scorching hot, as if it were being burned by a raging fire, so red that it seemed as if it was about to bleed.

She lowered her head in a fluster, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and softly replied, "Mmm."

The sound was so faint that it was almost inaudible if the surrounding environment hadn't been quiet.

Xuanming fell silent.

He genuinely didn't understand what Zhu Zhuqing was saying.

Besides, isn't confessing your love usually just about saying "I like you" or like Ning Rongrong and Hu Liena, who just went straight for it?
Or is it that confessions of love have become this artistic these days?

"Can you give me some response? This girl is really embarrassed right now," the Ice Dragon King said helplessly.

Xuanming's brain has this kind of drawback when he uses it in different ways!
His thinking ability has declined significantly; he is almost constantly distracted!

He just can't understand things that require a little bit of comprehension!

"A response?" Xuanming paused, took a step forward, and gently hugged Zhu Zhuqing.

"Thank you."

Zhu Zhuqing was slightly taken aback, her eyes filled with a hint of panic. "Thank you?"

Xuanming sensed Zhu Zhuqing's slight stiffness and subconsciously released her. "I'm sorry, I..."

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes reddened, tears welling up. She suddenly lunged forward and threw herself into Xuan Ming's arms, her voice trembling with sobs as she asked, "You...don't want to accept me?"

Xuanming was silent for a moment, then gently patted Zhu Zhuqing's back. "I still have things to do."

"Can I help you?" Zhu Zhuqing's voice was choked with emotion.

Xuanming paused for a moment, then said, "No."

Tears welled up in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes as she clutched Xuanming's clothes tightly. "Why not? I'm not afraid of danger. I just want to face it with you."

“I’m scared,” Xuanming said.

“You are one of my few friends, and you have given me one of my few joys. I cannot accept that you will be implicated because of me.”

“I don’t care!” Zhu Zhuqing said.

“I care,” Xuanming said.

"If you really want to help me, then listen to me, okay?"

"..."

"I understand." Zhu Zhuqing slowly released her grip on Xuanming and looked up at him.

Xuanming opened his mouth, as if to say something, but Zhu Zhuqing suddenly raised her hands, grabbed his head, stood on tiptoe, and charged forward!

"Zhu Qing, you have no martial ethics!"

Ning Rongrong, who was hiding not far away and spying, suddenly shouted loudly.

Hold their heads and kiss them, then they won't be able to escape!
Why didn't she think of that before!
"Zhu Zhuqing!"

Before Ning Rongrong could say anything more, a furious shout suddenly came from the other side of the woods. Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu subconsciously turned their heads to look, only to see that Dai Mubai had also arrived there at some point.

However, his expression at this moment was not one of watching the spectacle.

Upon hearing Dai Mubai's voice, Zhu Zhuqing paused slightly before continuing.

Zhu Zhuqing's kiss was both innocent and passionate, as if she had used up all her courage and strength. She held Xuanming tightly, as if she wanted to hold onto this moment forever.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai was furious. "It seems you really intend to betray Star Luo!"

Xuan Ming frowned slightly, and the tiny ice crystals instantly solidified in the air, transforming into countless ice needles that rained down on Dai Mubai like a storm. Upon seeing this, Dai Mubai's expression changed drastically. He quickly released his Martial Soul, White Tiger, unleashing his first and third Soul Skills in quick succession. His body swelled, enveloped in a golden light, while his second Soul Skill activated, unleashing a White Tiger Blazing Light Wave that blasted towards the countless ice needles.

But this skill is clearly no match for thousands of ice needles.

Just as Dai Mubai was in dire straits, a fiery red figure rushed out of the forest like lightning, carrying a scorching aura, and stood in front of Dai Mubai.

Before she could unleash more flames to defend herself, the countless ice needles stopped in mid-air and shattered into ice flowers.

Liu Erlong was slightly taken aback. "You brat! Don't you know how to go easy on me?"

If she hadn't come out, Dai Mubai would have really died under this icy drizzle!

Arou, who had been hiding in the shadows with Liu Erlong watching the commotion, also came out, but she didn't say anything and just stood quietly to the side.

Dai Mubai clutched his arm, which had been grazed by the ice needles, and glared angrily. "Zhu Zhuqing, don't forget your identity! You are a member of the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire, and you are engaged to me!"

Zhu Zhuqing slowly released Xuan Ming, her cheeks still flushed. She glanced back at Dai Mubai, about to say something, when Xuan Ming stepped in front of her. "If you die, will Xingluo bother me because of a dead person?"

Dai Mubai's expression froze. "I am the Third Prince of Xingluo, you..."

Xuanming flashed past Liu Erlong and grabbed Dai Mubai by the neck. "It's that old threat again. I'm tired of hearing it."

"Star Luo? A million-strong army? Can they save you now?"

Dai Mubai's face turned bright red as Xuan Ming gripped his throat. His legs kicked wildly in the air, his eyes filled with anger and resentment, but he was unable to break free because he was restrained.

He forced out a few words through gritted teeth: "You...dare...kill me..."

Xuanming exerted a little force, and Dai Mubai's face began to turn purple. "I said back in Soto City that I only have one patience. After that, it's a different story."

Do you think I'm joking?

Upon seeing this, Liu Erlong was startled and quickly stepped forward to dissuade him: "Xuanming, he is still a student of Shrek Academy. Even for my sake, please spare his life, okay?"

Xuanming glanced at Liu Erlong, "Are you sure?"

Liu Erlong was slightly taken aback. Before she could say anything, a chilling electric shock suddenly rang out, accompanied by a flash of blue-purple lightning. A figure appeared in front of everyone like a ghost in an instant.

The newcomer was none other than Yu Luomian. His face was ashen, and he exuded a terrifying aura. His fierce presence made everyone present feel a chill.

"Xuanming! You really are here!" Yu Luomian's eyes widened in anger as she stared intently at Xuanming, her eyes seemingly spitting fire.

Xuanming glanced at Yu Luomian, "Who are you?"

"I am Yu Luomian, an elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!" Yu Luomian said coldly.

"Oh? Is there something you need?" Xuanming asked casually.

"What is it?" Yu Luomian laughed angrily. "You still have the nerve to ask! You colluded with the Spirit Hall, broke into the forbidden area of ​​my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and stole the treasure. If you don't hand over the treasure today, don't even think about leaving alive!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

"Old man, you're not here to cause trouble, are you?" Liu Erlong frowned.

"What is the relationship between Xuanming and the Spirit Hall? And why would he break into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to steal some treasure?"

“Exactly! You need evidence to back up your claims!” Ning Rongrong couldn’t help but say.

"Evidence?" Yu Luomian sneered. "That day, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo deliberately attracted attention in front of my sect's gate, and Pope Bibi Dong personally led you into the forbidden area. Isn't that evidence? Xuanming, don't think that you can let this matter drop by denying it to the death!"

“I admit it,” Xuanming said calmly.

"..."

Yu Luomian was stunned for a moment because Xuanming admitted it so readily, but he quickly sneered: "Hmph, you do have some sense of responsibility. Since you admit it, hand over the treasure and come back with me to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to accept your punishment!"

“I can hand it over, but you have to tell me what your lost treasure is,” Xuanming said.

Yu Luomian frowned, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes. "Don't try anything funny. This treasure is a secret artifact passed down for thousands of years by my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. You don't need to know its specifics; just hand it over!"

Xuan Ming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile. "I don't even know what I'm handing over, how can you expect me to hand it over? Or are you framing me and trying to use this opportunity to get back at me?"

Yu Luomian roared, "Insolence! How could I falsely accuse you! That treasure is of utmost importance to my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. If you do not hand it over, you will be making an enemy of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

This kid is just a Soul King, but after obtaining that thing, he was able to control the energy of the entire Thunder Valley all by himself and repel a group of sect elders, including the sect leader Yu Yuanzhen!
If we can take it back, the decline of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family will surely be reversed!
