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

Chapter 48 The future is long
……

After a passionate speech, Qian Renxue finally stopped, leaving Xuanming with a poignant image of concern for the world.

Unfortunately, Xuanming's gaze remained unchanged throughout the entire performance; he simply watched Qian Renxue quietly.

"Now, do you understand?"

Qian Renxue turned around, hoping to see Xuanming's admiring and approving gaze.

"..."

"Can you give me some kind of response?"

Meeting Xuan Ming's still calm and indifferent gaze, Qian Renxue even doubted for a moment whether she was talking to a brick wall.

But when she thought back to when she heard Xuanming's words about benevolence and righteousness in Tiandou City, she felt a little guilty.

Could it be that she made a mistake that Xuanming noticed?
"Reaction? What reaction?" Xuanming asked.

"You... don't agree with me?" Qian Renxue asked.

"What if I agree, and what if I don't?" Xuanming asked, puzzled.

"What you're saying has nothing to do with me?"

"I can barely take care of myself, how can you expect me to worry about the world?"

Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief. "I have a way to help you solve your martial soul problem. You don't need to worry about being unable to protect yourself."

"You have a way?" Xuanming looked at him with disbelief.

“I made a deal with the Pope; she will resolve your issue of having twin martial souls,” Qian Renxue said.

"The reason I'm telling you all this is that I hope you can assist with this plan after you've resolved your own shortcomings."

"Given the current situation of the Heavenly Dou royal family, the position of crown prince will soon fall to Xue Qinghe. However, his foundation is still shallow. If he can get your help, his position as crown prince will be more secure. When he ascends the throne in the future, his authority and control over his subordinates will be stronger, and his cooperation with the Spirit Hall will be smoother."

"Me, help him?" Xuanming looked puzzled.

"How can I help him?"

“Your talent,” Qian Renxue said.

"If a genius with twin martial souls stands on Xue Qinghe's side, his appeal among young soul masters will be even stronger."

"Also, your relationship with Poison Douluo."

"By using you as a medium, we can get Poison Douluo to support Xue Qinghe as well, and then his position as crown prince will be unshakeable!"

“Then you’re probably going to be disappointed. I’m not familiar with Dugu Bo, so I’m afraid we won’t be able to exchange more than a few words,” Xuan Ming said.

“It’s okay if we’re not familiar with each other yet, we can take it slow,” Qian Renxue said.

"Even if we couldn't get Poison Douluo's support, having you by my side is enough."

"Even if it's just to reduce war and loss of lives on the mainland, would you be willing to help?"

"..."

“What if I don’t want to?” Xuanming asked.

Qian Renxue frowned slightly. "Why?"

“Because I don’t believe any of your words at all,” Xuanming said.

"From a patrolling deacon to an elder or a respected elder, I've been led around by you all."

"And all of this is because of the benefits I can bring."

"For the sake of profit, even that 100-year-old man can be so shameless. How can I believe that what you're saying is true?"

"If you can be shameless for profit today, you can be even more shameless for greater profit tomorrow."

"For the peace of the mainland? If war could bring you more benefits, you wouldn't hesitate to go to war, would you?"

"..."

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes. "Do you know what will happen if you reject me?"

"Weren't your words quite eloquent just now?" Xuanming said.

"You can't keep up the act anymore?"

"It seems you're no different from that hypocritical old man. You can spout off about being generous with other people's money, but when it comes to your own, you show your true colors."

"..."

"That brat!" Upon hearing Xuanming's words, Golden Crocodile Douluo immediately stood up.

“Golden Crocodile, sit down,” Qian Daoliu said.

"This is Xiaoxue's matter; let her handle it herself."

"But..." "Sit down."

Golden Crocodile Douluo took a deep breath and sat back down. "It seems he really doesn't understand his situation. At a time like this, he's still so clueless."

"It's better to say it than to keep it to yourself," Qian Daoliu said quietly.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was taken aback, his expression becoming somewhat unnatural.

Bibi Dong's resentment had been dormant for so many years without leaving a trace; Qian Xunji hadn't noticed it, and neither had they...

"..."

"To be honest, I don't quite understand why you would disagree with me at a time like this."

Qian Renxue composed herself and asked again.

"Even if you suspect us of having ulterior motives, you shouldn't say it so bluntly. You should pretend to agree first, at least use us to solve your own problems, and wait for the right opportunity."

"If I were to curse your ancestors for eighteen generations right now, could you refrain from killing me?" Xuanming asked.

Qian Renxue's eyes twitched slightly. "I can't stand it."

"So you think I can just tolerate all this tormenting me?" Xuanming asked.

"I agree today, but what if I do something even worse tomorrow, and the day after?"

"You tested me again and again, pushing my limits until I became numb, submissive, and completely obedient to you?"

Do you treat me like a dog?

Qian Renxue's eyes turned slightly cold. "Didn't you ever think about turning yourself into a dead dog?"

“All I know is that once you become a dog, you can never become a human again,” Xuanming said.

"When a person dies, they become a dead person, but when a dog lives, it will always just be a dog."

“I can endure humiliation, but I will never beg for mercy.”

"The former is out of helplessness, the latter is despicable!"

A sacred flame ignited in Qian Renxue's hand. "So, you'd rather die than submit?"

“I don’t have the ability to deceive myself, and I can’t be shameless without realizing it,” Xuanming said.

“Very well, I will grant your wish.” Qian Renxue’s eyes narrowed, and the sacred fire in her hand surged and rose.

A yellow soul ring flashed beneath Xuanming, white light exploded, and the blood spear pierced out instantly.

boom! !

Sacred fire and wild lightning intertwined, and golden and white realms collided violently.

"Little Snow!"

Qian Daoliu and his companion rushed in and saw Qian Renxue, who was possessed by a martial spirit, and Xuan Ming, who had fainted.

"I'm fine." Qian Renxue withdrew her martial spirit.

"He's just a junior Soul Master who just acquired his Soul Ring, how could he possibly pose a threat to me?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned, "Since this kid is so ungrateful, perhaps..."

"I'm very satisfied." Qian Renxue smiled.

"???"

The golden crocodile looked completely bewildered.

"what?"

“Such unruly behavior makes me even more interested,” Qian Renxue said.

"If he were to submit to his fate and compromise, I would suspect that he had ulterior motives."

In Heaven Dou City, surrounded by Barth and his Soul Masters, Xuanming was able to make the decision to fight to the death.

Now, after being repeatedly tormented by the Spirit Hall, Xuanming has almost no trust in them.

In this situation, it would be strange if Xuanming readily believed her and agreed!
“He’s unyielding; you probably won’t be able to control him,” Qian Daoliu said.

This wasn't the first time he'd met someone like this; all members of the Seven Kill Sword lineage were like that.

This type of person cannot be tamed.

“There’s plenty of time in the future,” Qian Renxue said.

Qian Daoliu sighed, "You'd better handle it yourself, don't mess it up."
