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

……

On the edge of a scenic island cliff.

Xuanming gently embraced Qian Renxue, watching as the angel god-king, who had been his "little wife" in the mortal realm for a year, transformed into golden light and reluctantly returned to the divine realm.

"Who's next...?"

Xuanming rubbed his temples. Although their year of "divine couple" life was pleasant, it was definitely physically demanding. Qian Renxue seemed determined to squeeze every last drop out of him in the last few days.

Just then, two streaks of light descended from the sky.

One streak is icy blue, the other is deep purple.

As the light faded, two graceful figures were revealed.

The one on the left, dressed in a gorgeous ice-blue gown, exudes a cold and noble aura; she is none other than the Ice Dragon King. The one on the right, clad in a tight-fitting purple-black leather outfit, with a figure so voluptuous it's breathtaking, is the Hell Demon Dragon King—Zi Ji.

However, the fierceness and restraint in Zi Ji's eyes were long gone, replaced by an indescribable... frivolity.

As soon as she landed, she gave Xuanming a flirtatious wink. Her posture was completely swayed by the "old driver" Ice Dragon King.

"Oh, isn't this our God-King?"

The Ice Dragon King walked forward with elegant cat-like steps, looked Xuanming up and down, and said, "Judging from your rosy complexion, it seems Qian Renxue has served you quite well."

Xuanming sighed helplessly: "Why did you all come down? Whose turn is it this time?"

He glanced at Zi Ji, then at the Ice Dragon King, somewhat puzzled. "Zi Ji is one thing, but Ice Dragon King, what are you doing here? Isn't the God Realm busy?"

"Busy, of course I'm busy."

The Ice Dragon King said matter-of-factly, "But no matter how busy I am, I can't neglect important matters."

"Important business?" Xuanming was taken aback. "What important business?"

The Ice Dragon King laughed, a laugh brimming with captivating charm. She stepped forward, almost pressing herself against Xuan Ming, her breath sweet as orchids:
"Of course, I'm here to...serve you in bed."

"???" Xuanming looked completely bewildered.

"Sister Bing, you've watched me grow up. In my heart, you're like an older sister to me, an elder. This kind of thing... you shouldn't get involved with those little girls, right?"

However, upon hearing this, the Ice Dragon King's expression instantly turned very serious.

"Noisy?"

She sneered and pointed to her face, which looked even more youthful than a girl's thanks to the power of the Dragon God. "Xuanming, open your eyes and look. Where am I old now?"

"Moreover……"

The Ice Dragon King stepped forward, forcing Xuan Ming to retreat with nowhere left to go, and pinned him against a boulder at the edge of the cliff.

"You're talking to me about elders? About ethics?"

"Then let me ask you, who is Qian Renxue?"

"They both took turns, so why can't I?"

The Ice Dragon King's icy blue vertical pupils burned with an undisguised flame of desire. "Don't you know that I've been lusting after your body for a long time?"

“I didn’t get involved before because I saw that you had a lot of complicated relationships and you were already overwhelmed.”

"But now, even Qian Renxue, the girl you watched grow up, can sleep with you, so why can't I?"

The Ice Dragon King extended a finger, lifting Xuanming's chin, his tone domineering and direct. "Xuanming, don't think I'm joking."

“When you were just a child, I was inside you. I watched you grow step by step, watched you fight desperately to protect the people you care about, and watched you transform from a weak mortal into the supreme god you are today.”

"That kind of worship, that kind of dependence, is etched into my bones."

“You already had a lot of pressure, a lot of things to do, and a tangled mess of relationships. I don’t want to add to your stress.”

"but now……"

The Ice Dragon King's fingers gently traced Xuanming's Adam's apple, his voice becoming hoarse, "The God Realm is so open now, everyone is taking turns coming down to keep you company. If I still put on this so-called older sister's airs, then I'm the biggest fool in the world."

"I don't care what you think."

"Anyway, I have no intention of going back with a clean slate this time."

Xuanming looked at the Ice Dragon King, who was so close to him. His reflection was in the pair of ice-blue vertical pupils, which held a kind of persistence and clarity that Xuanming had never seen before.

He sighed, his body relaxed slightly, and he stopped trying to resist with his divine power, but his brows remained furrowed.

"Sister Bing, since you know what kind of person I am, you should understand that there are some hurdles that I really find hard to overcome."

“We know each other too well. So well that I know you better than I know myself. In my subconscious, you are the older sister who has always protected me, the guide who watched me grow up. This relationship... is too pure, so pure that I feel that if it were mixed with that kind of... desire, it would be a desecration.”

"Blasphemy?"

The Ice Dragon King seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. She released her hands that were supporting Xuan Ming on her sides, took a half step back, crossed her arms, and looked at him with a look of disappointment and frustration.

"Xuanming, you really are a clueless idiot sometimes."

"You think I don't know what you're thinking? You think it's blasphemy? No, you're just afraid."

“You’re afraid that once that thin veil is lifted, you’ll never be able to enjoy my care as comfortably as before, and you’ll have to bring me into your heavy circle of responsibility.”

The Ice Dragon King stepped forward, his gaze intense.

"You may seem aloof and uninterested in getting involved, but deep down you're a traditional, rigid man with an abnormally strong sense of responsibility."

"Once you have that kind of relationship with someone, you will treat that person as a part of your life. You will fight for them, compromise for them, and shoulder all the burdens for them."

“Look at Bibi Dong.”

The Ice Dragon King pointed in the direction of the God Realm, "Why has she worked so hard for the past twenty years? Why has she managed the God Realm so well, and even managed so many mortal planes? Is it for power? No, it's so that you have less to worry about!"

"She knows your temper. If you wake up and see the divine realm in chaos and the mortal realm in utter devastation, even if you grumble and complain, you will eventually get involved to clean up the mess yourself, exhausting yourself to the point of near death."

"That's why she took the lead. She made herself the busiest person so that you could be a hands-off manager and enjoy life like you are now."

Xuanming fell silent.

He had to admit that the Ice Dragon King was right.

Bibi Dong understands him, Gu Yuena understands him, and the Ice Dragon King before them understands him even better.

"Gu Yuena is the same."

The Ice Dragon King continued, "Why was she in such a hurry to create a new dragon race? Why did she go to such lengths to build things up on various planets? It was because she knew that if she didn't do it, you would feel guilty towards her, and you would take on the responsibility of reviving the dragon race yourself."

"They are all using their own methods to push you out of that quagmire called responsibility." (End of Chapter)
