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

Chapter 90 Endless troubles
……

"Are you really that heartless?"

Faced with Xuan Ming's still indifferent attitude, Qian Renxue could no longer hold back.

Hasn't she done enough in the past few years?

Why hasn't this guy changed at all?
“Do you want to argue? If so, I can shut up,” Xuanming said.

He wasn't an unfeeling person; it was just that Qian Renxue had never had any feelings for him at all.

Whether it was her gaze or her subconscious commanding manner, Qian Renxue never treated him as an equal; her gaze was always downward.

He believed that if given a better option, Qian Renxue would not hesitate to destroy him.

To put it bluntly, if you own a dog and it dies, at least the owner will feel sad for a while.

But Qian Renxue is the kind of person who would sell someone without hesitation if they had enough value.

If that's the case, why should he talk about feelings with Qian Renxue?
Their relationship has always been based solely on transactions of mutual benefit.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, this matter requires your intervention."

Seeing that Xuanming was about to shut up again, Qian Renxue gave up on saying anything more, since it was just a one-woman show anyway.

"What is it?" Xuanming asked.

“Now that Ning Fengzhi has become Crown Prince Xue Qinghe’s teacher, he clearly wants to further cooperate and bind the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Empire together,” Qian Renxue said.

“But the current relationship of mutual benefit is not enough. I need to make sure he doesn’t suddenly turn against us in the future. I need to tie him to Xue Qinghe’s side completely.”

"Now, you are the most suitable link."

"What do you mean?" Xuanming asked.

“Ning Fengzhi’s daughter, Ning Rongrong, just awakened her martial soul a couple of days ago. He told me that the child has innate level nine soul power. If nothing unexpected happens, Ning Rongrong will be the next sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School,” Qian Renxue said.

"I need you to step in and win over the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"In this way, no matter what happens in the future, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will have no choice but to stand on our side."

Xuanming paused, "You want me to sell myself?"

“You don’t need to go that far. For now, all you need to do is show goodwill,” Qian Renxue said.

"I know what kind of person you are; it's impossible to expect you to do that kind of thing."

"But you have to give Ning Fengzhi hope. As for the future... we'll talk about that later."

"You want me to deceive people's feelings like you did?" Xuanming asked.

“I didn’t say you had to lie; you can be real,” Qian Renxue said.

"And when did I ever deceive anyone's feelings?"

"Isn't that how you treat me?" Xuanming asked, puzzled.

"It's just that I didn't manage to fool them."

"You!" Qian Renxue's face darkened.

"Do you dare swear on your martial spirit, on the Angel God, that you are truly sincere towards me?" Xuanming asked.

"I..." Qian Renxue was speechless for a moment.

"So? You can't even deceive yourself about your feelings, and you actually want to use something like this to fool me?" Xuanming said.

“At least I have a clear conscience in everything I do, even if those things seem a bit unreasonable to you. But that’s how I think, that’s my sense of right and wrong. You can think I’m a bad person or have a twisted mind, but I don’t consider myself a good person. I just follow my own rules.”

"Your right or wrong, your good or bad, are none of my business, and vice versa."

"I won't comment on your right or wrong, and you shouldn't point fingers at me. Just mind your own business."

"Otherwise, if things go wrong, it'll be like a prostitute laughing at a whore."

"Prostitution is a necessity of life, but this bitch always makes herself despicable."

"You!" Qian Renxue took a deep breath. "Are you insulting me?"

“Of course not,” Xuanming said.

“If I were insulting you, I would never make you feel this uncertain. You would know very clearly that I am insulting you.”

"Otherwise, if I beat around the bush and you don't understand, wouldn't I have wasted my breath?"

"You know, I'm not the kind of person who entertains myself."

"Shut your mouth!" Qian Renxue said with a dark expression.

"From now on, speak less!"

"..."

"Did you hear that?"

"..."

Xuanming quietly looked at Qian Renxue, dipped his finger in the tea, and wrote a few words on the table: "Didn't you tell me to shut up?"

"..." Qian Renxue.

You fucking bastard!!!
……

Qian Renxue inexplicably broke down, and Xuan Ming also left the Crown Prince's residence without staying any longer, carrying the Blue Silver Emperor.

It's always the same. Even though I know he says hurtful things, I force him to say them, and then I make him shut up after he says them.

They're all so difficult to please.

"Young Master, please calm down. You've always known this kid's temper, haven't you?" Serpent Spear Douluo said somewhat guiltily.

In the Spirit City, in the Hall of Offerings, where there was almost no chance of survival, he was so fearless. This kid can't be described as someone who isn't afraid of death; rather, he's the kind of person who doesn't care about life or death at all!

Especially when faced with a threat, Xuanming's attitude towards life and death becomes extremely negative!
Even if he wants to live, if you threaten him with something like he'll die if he doesn't listen, he'll just give up and wait to die.

Those with a rebellious nature are especially prone to it!

To deal with this kind of person, you have to go along with them like the Pope did, instead of confronting them head-on like this.

Just like Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, the two girls didn't deliberately give way to him or coax him in their interactions with Xuanming; it was just a simple exchange. But Xuanming never showed them the same obvious defiance he had shown towards Qian Renxue.

Ultimately, it was because Qian Renxue was too proud. She always thought she could tame Xuanming, and every time she showed her attitude, it was very clear that she wanted Xuanming to give in and bow down.

As a result, the relationship between the two deteriorated, which also caused problems in the relationship between Xue Qinghe and Xuan Ming.

"Am I supposed to just go along with him? I've never felt so stifled in my life!" Qian Renxue bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with resentment and anger. She knew perfectly well that Serpent Spear Douluo was right, but Xuan Ming wouldn't back down, so why should she?

Seeing that Qian Renxue's expression had softened, Serpent Spear Douluo quickly pressed his advantage: "Young Master, although that boy has an eccentric temper, his strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, he is loyal and righteous. If he can be truly used by me, he will surely become a great man in the future. The current stalemate between you and him will only push him further away."

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart. After a long silence, she slowly said, "Fine, I will do as you say and not argue with him for now. But if he remains so stubborn, I will not tolerate him any longer."

"Young Master, there's something I've wanted to say for a long time," said Serpent Spear Douluo.

"If you're not willing to back down, you'd better get rid of this kid as soon as possible, otherwise, he'll cause endless trouble."

The conflict between Xuanming and Qianrenxue is currently just verbal, because that kid doesn't have the power to resist them. But if that kid becomes stronger and has the power to resist, then any conflict will be more than just a few words.

Genius is certainly tempting, but if it cannot be used for my purposes, it is nothing but a scourge.

"Let's take another look," Qian Renxue said.

"I've spent so much time and effort, if I start now, wouldn't everything I've done before become a joke?"

Upon hearing this, Serpent Spear Douluo said nothing more.

He knew very well that once Qian Renxue's competitive spirit was aroused, nothing he said would make a difference.

If he said that Xuanming could not be tamed, Qian Renxue would only feel that he was doubting her abilities.

Let's just say less...
