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

Chapter 34 Never Forget
……

"The power of your first soul skill is almost comparable to some thousand-year soul skills."

Xue Qinghe came to his senses, his expression extremely unnatural.

Once Xuanming grows up, will she really be able to control him?

"Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness," Xuanming said.

"It's nothing, he only has himself to blame," Xue Qinghe said.

"The matter has been resolved, and we should..."

Whoosh!
Before he could finish speaking, a golden figure suddenly appeared from the dense forest, grabbed Xuanming, knocked him unconscious, and then ran towards the depths of Sunset Forest.

The entire process was smooth and seamless, without the slightest pause!
"??!"

Xue Qinghe was taken aback at first, but after seeing Yue Guan's figure clearly, he subconsciously let out an angry shout.

"stop!!"

Without pausing for a moment, Yue Guan quickly disappeared from Xue Qinghe's sight.

"Is that Yue Guan?" Xue Qinghe asked coldly, turning to look at the Serpent Spear Douluo.

Serpent Spear Douluo hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Why didn't you stop him?" Xue Qinghe asked.

"Young Master, compared to his plan, which is more important, the Heaven Dou Empire's plan?" The Serpent Spear Douluo did not answer directly, but instead asked Xue Qinghe.

Xue Qinghe was slightly taken aback. "You knew he was nearby all along?"

“Young Master, if I were to fight Yue Guan, let alone whether I could win, the people from the Heavenly Dou Empire are already quite close. If we attract them here, what happened today…” Serpent Spear Douluo didn’t finish his sentence. He believed that Qian Renxue could understand why he didn’t take action.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't.

Xue Qinghe took a deep breath and clenched his fists. "It must be that woman..."

"Humph!"

Xue Qinghe snorted coldly and withdrew his gaze.

"Dispose of Barth's body, then go check if the Third Prince is truly dead."

"Yes." The Serpent Spear Douluo said nothing more and quickly disappeared.

Yue Guan taking Xuan Ming away is not something that can be reversed.

After all, Yue Guan was bringing people back to Wuhun City, and Wuhun City has a Grand Elder.

If Qian Renxue really wants this person, she can take him back.

It's just that it will be more troublesome.

……

"Do all Title Douluos enjoy doing this kind of thing?"

Xuanming, who had been knocked unconscious and taken away by Yueguan, quickly woke up.

"Hmm?" Yue Guan looked down and met Xuan Ming's speechless and disdainful gaze.

"Hey kid, long time no see."

"..." Xuanming.

"I thought Poison Douluo was already shameless enough, but I didn't expect you to be just as shameless as him."

Yue Guan frowned slightly. "How can you speak like that?"

"I'm just saving you from the jaws of death, aren't I?"

"Tiger's mouth?" Xuanming was even more speechless.

Whose jaws are they in?

“Dugu Bo,” Yue Guan said matter-of-factly.

“That old poisoner is unpredictable. If you stay by his side, he might poison you to death at any time when he's in a bad mood.”

"I rescued you, don't you think you should thank me?"

"Thank you," Xuanming said, too lazy to argue.

He had thought that Yue Guan might come to kidnap him, but he didn't expect her to come so soon!

"Don't worry, His Holiness the Pope is very interested in you. You'll be treated well when you arrive in Wuhun City," Yue Guan said.

"Or is it that you still can't forget Dugu Bo?"

Xuanming looked disgusted. "Could you use a different word?"

"Okay, but you have to answer me first: why did you change your mind halfway through last time, and even help Dugu Bo escape?" Yue Guan asked.

“He put the nine-section jade on me, I was afraid of being bitten to death,” Xuanming said. “Nine-section jade?” Yue Guan’s eyes twitched slightly.

"No wonder."

The poison of Dugu Bo's nine-section jade is so potent that even a Soul Saint would lose half his life if bitten by it!

"Since you have no connection with Dugu Bo, why are you not happy at all?" Yue Guan asked.

"Would you be happy if you were kidnapped?" Xuanming asked rhetorically.

After all this time, I finally managed to get in touch with Qian Renxue. I thought I would be basically safe in Tiandou City from now on.

Now this has happened. When we get to Wuhun City, all our relationships will be wiped clean, and we'll have to start all over again.

Even worse, if Qian Renxue were to become enraged over this, his life would be in danger again.

……

Meanwhile, the search and rescue team that entered the forest brought the seriously injured Ge Long and Xue Qinghe back to the camp.

"Your Highness, where is Xuanming?"

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling rushed over anxiously.

"Why haven't I seen him?"

Xue Qinghe's complexion was not good, clearly indicating that his injuries were serious. "We ran into a group of thousand-year-old soul beasts in the forest and were scattered."

"What?!" Dugu Yan's face turned pale.

"how come……"

"Your Highness, the Third Prince..." Zhang Yunqing, who had gone to rescue the Third Prince, walked over covered in dust and dirt, carrying in his arms a piece of something wrapped in black cloth that smelled of blood.

Xue Qinghe stared tremblingly at the part wrapped in black cloth, "Third brother, he..."

"Your Highness, please accept my condolences." Zhang Yunqing sighed deeply and placed the Third Prince's mangled body on the ground.

“That Night Shadow Cat-owl was far too ferocious. By the time I caught up, the Third Prince was already dead, and half of his body had been eaten.”

"I fought it, but I only managed to salvage the remaining remains of its body."

"Third brother!" Xue Qinghe knelt before the Third Prince's mangled body with a heavy heart, reaching out to open the package.

"Your Highness!" Zhang Yunqing quickly reached out to stop him.

"The Third Prince's death was far too gruesome; you should... not look."

It was bitten in half!

"It's all my fault! I should have stopped him!" Xue Qinghe said with red eyes, blaming herself.

"Your Highness, this isn't your fault, it's the Third Prince's fault..."

The princes who were resting nearby quickly spoke up to comfort him.

Xue Qinghe had tried to dissuade them several times before they set off, but the Third Prince insisted on going!

Moreover, if Xue Qinghe hadn't secretly informed Ge Long, none of them would have made it back!
"what's the situation?"

Dugu Bo descended from the sky and landed not far from the crowd.

"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan rushed over with red eyes.

"Yanyan, are you alright?" Dugu Bo asked worriedly.

He has been in seclusion in the medicine garden of Sunset Forest for some time, suppressing the backlash of the poison.

But tonight, the ancient soul beasts deep in the Sunset Forest suddenly went berserk, and several of them even charged into his poison array, which woke him up from his seclusion.

Upon exiting, they discovered that the Imperial Guards of Tiandou City were operating in the forest.

He asked around and found out about the autumn hunt, and also learned that his granddaughter was there, so he rushed out.

"Grandpa, I'm fine. Xuanming is still in Sunset Forest. Please go and look for him!" Dugu Yan said.

"Xuanming?" Dugu Bo was taken aback.

How did he end up in the forest?

"Grandpa, don't ask questions yet, let's go find someone first!" Dugu Yan said anxiously.

"Alright, alright, Grandpa will go find him, don't worry." Dugu Bo comforted Dugu Yan, then turned and rushed back into Sunset Forest.

“Sister Yan Yan, he…” Ye Lingling looked nervously in the direction of Sunset Forest.

"With Grandpa here, nothing will happen." Dugu Yan looked anxiously at Dugu Bo's departing figure.

"It'll be okay..."
