Douluo Continent: The Time-Stopping Evil Dragon, They All Want to Tame Me

Chapter 21 Xiaoxue, you don't want your grandfather to leave you, do you?

As Ao Xing watched Zi Zhenzhu prepare dinner in the kitchen like a well-behaved puppy, he increasingly agreed with what Eileen Chang had said.

"You wouldn't guess this woman is the hot-tempered, foul-mouthed, and arrogant pirate captain," Ao Xing thought to himself, but he knew he didn't possess the soul that led to the Purple Pearl.

Because Zhang Ailing's words have a prerequisite: that there is love between the two parties and a relatively deep emotional foundation.

Purple Pearl's unusual behavior was simply due to her admiration for and fear of the strong.

At this moment, she probably wished she could skin herself alive and tear her tendons apart.

"Ah Zhu, I soak my feet before bed every night, so don't forget to boil the water." Ao Xing's vertical pupils emitted a cold, eerie light, carrying a warning tone as he said, "Heh heh, don't even think about using poison or anything like that."

Even though I'm immune to all poisons, I'll still let you try it first~~~

The dragon suddenly whispered in her ear, and Purple Pearl's expression instantly tightened. She quickly explained, "No, no, Lord Ao Xing."

"Ugh~" Ao Xing drawled out the sound before leaving the kitchen.

Purple Pearl breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the evil dragon had left.

The vastness of the sea is beyond imagination.

The number of sea spirit beasts is countless, and among them, highly poisonous creatures are everywhere.

With the island occupied by the evil dragon, and her status reduced from captain to servant, Purple Pearl naturally considered using a deadly poison on the dragon. However, due to Ao Xing's display of power, she was unsure whether the poison extracted from the sea spirit beasts would be effective against the dragon.

Therefore, this idea was rejected.

While cleaning and processing geoduck clams and oysters, Purple Pearl secretly observed the evil dragon through the kitchen window.

The creature, radiating a precious light, gently flapped its wings and suddenly appeared at its doorstep.

wrong

That house no longer belongs to her.

The princess that the evil dragon stole from the mainland lives inside.

A pang of bitterness welled up in Purple Pearl's heart.

Unlike ordinary women, she never had any feelings for men from a young age.

But when she sees those sexy, beautiful, and fair-skinned women, she always feels an irresistible urge to grind soybeans.

Just recently, she was thinking about doing something big after acquiring her sixth spirit ring: robbing a coastal city and stealing a wife.

After all, people living on islands far from the mainland, regardless of gender, have to learn skills such as fishing and hunting birds from a young age, and their skin is almost always dark.

This is not in line with the aesthetics of purple pearls.

But today, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the princess being hidden in her house by the evil dragon through the window!

Purple Pearl swore that this was the most beautiful and perfect woman she had ever seen in her life.

Her champagne-gold hair was like the clouds under the morning sun, ethereal and dreamlike like a waterfall, and her skin was like pure white jade, warm and fair.

With a straight nose, delicate phoenix eyes that were slightly narrow, and a noble pale purple hue, coupled with cherry-red lips, she was simply the most perfect masterpiece in the world.

With just one glance, Purple Pearl was captivated, her image haunting her mind all day long.

Many times, they even forget that the island has been occupied and that they have become slaves to the evil dragon.

Unfortunately, the princess who was abducted by the evil dragon did not stand by the window for long before returning to the room, leaving Purple Pearl somewhat absent-minded.

……

Ao Xing pushed open the door and entered the room.

Qian Renxue was sitting cross-legged on the bed, her upper body upright, cultivating.

Without being disturbed, he sat down on the "Evil Dragon Throne," which the pirates had temporarily carved from sea jade, and quietly watched Qian Renxue.

"Why is it so hard? It's a bit uncomfortable on my butt."

Ao Xing frowned.

Because his entire body is crystallized, and because the dragon is twice the size of a human, a 'dragon throne' made of ordinary wood cannot support his weight.

Therefore, the pirates found a piece of sea jade with relatively high hardness and made a chair for Ao Xing.

But sitting on it made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Sea jade has no malleability whatsoever; for something like the Dragon Throne, you still need gold!"

Gold is the most malleable metal, possessing the characteristics of being flexible and malleable.

With the right technology, one gram of gold can be stretched into a gold thread of more than four thousand meters!

"Unfortunately, the Purple Pearl Pirate Crew is shockingly poor! They only have a few thousand Gold Soul Coins in their treasury!"

"They're clearly pirates, why are they using the 'rob the rich to help the poor' label like some kind of scoundrel?"

Ao Xing was inwardly grumbling.

After becoming a dragon, he developed an inexplicable fondness for gold. After assigning the pirates the task of building a dragon cave castle, he immediately went to the treasure cave of the Purple Pearl Pirate Crew.

However, to his surprise, the total value of the gold and silver treasures in the vault was less than five thousand gold soul coins!

After inquiring, he learned that after each raid, the woman named Purple Pearl would divide the spoils equally among the pirates and give the rest to the poor people on the island!

At that moment, he wanted to activate the time stop function and punish Purple Pearl again.

In the Douluo Continent, everyone has a martial spirit, and even without soul power, they still have an advantage over ordinary people.

Unless you're like Tang Hao, the scoundrel with a dead wife, why would you need help from others?

"Looks like it's necessary to raid a few coastal cities in the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs," Ao Xing thought to himself, planning a luxurious golden mattress, a throne inlaid with jewels, a dragon crown for showing off, a golden bathtub, and a golden toilet.

Just as he was fantasizing about turning Purple Pearl Island into his base, Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes.

"What do you want to do?" Knowing that the evil dragon would not harm her for the time being, Qian Renxue's attitude towards Ao Xing was extremely cold. Apart from cultivating on her own, she did not communicate with him.

However, during her cultivation, the dragon's gaze prevented her from entering her optimal state.

"Xiaoxue, are you planning to improve your strength here through cultivation, and then find a chance to escape?" Ao Xing stared at the woman in front of him with a chilling gaze.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was visibly flustered, but after thinking for a moment, she explained:

"This is just an isolated island in the sea. What else can I do besides cultivate? I can't just sit here watching the sea all day long, can I? Besides, being under the sun all the time will make me tan. Moreover, if I cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo as soon as possible, I can maintain my youth forever."

"You're right." Ao Xing narrowed his cold eyes slightly and said, "If you're cultivating because you're bored or want to maintain your beauty, I won't stop you. On the contrary, I'll help you find some rare and precious materials that can help increase your soul power."

"But if you're cultivating in order to escape, I can only say that's a foolish idea."

"It's not just because, as a human Soul Master, your growth rate will never be as fast as mine as that of an evil dragon."

Ao Xing stared intently at Qian Renxue, a strange smile playing on his lips, before asking in a highly seductive tone:

"Xiaoxue, do you really think that once you break through to the Soul Saint realm and cultivate to the Soul Douluo realm, or even the Title Douluo realm, you can return to your grandfather's side?"

Qian Renxue lowered her head and remained silent.

She knew that even if Bibi Dong and the two Douluo Ju Gui joined forces, they would not be able to gain the slightest advantage over Ao Xing.

If she wants to escape, she'll either have to cultivate to level 99 in a short time, or have a powerful expert like her grandfather come to her rescue!

Clearly, the latter is more likely.

Ao Xing seemed to have seen through her thoughts and continued to ask:

"Your current soul power should be between level 68 and 69, right?"

"Um."

"Once you reach level 70, with your grandfather's help, you can begin the Angelic Trial?"

"Hmm." Qian Renxue's eyes showed surprise, clearly shocked that Ao Xing knew this secret.

"Do you know what will happen after the divine test begins?"

"My strength can improve rapidly. If I pass the Nine Trials of the Angels, I can obtain the divine abode of the Angel God."

Since Ao Xing knows the secret that she can unlock the Nine Trials of Angels at level 70, he should also know about the inheritance of the Angel Godhood.

Therefore, Qian Renxue did not hide it.

"wrong!"

However, to her surprise, Ao Xing denied her words and said quietly:

"I don't know if you can inherit the position of the angel."

"But once you complete the first eight of the nine trials of the angel, you may never see your grandfather again."

Can't see Grandpa?

Qian Renxue narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly. After thinking for a while, she couldn't figure out what Ao Xing meant. So she looked at the evil dragon in front of her with a mixture of longing and doubt, trying to find the answer from its expression.

After all, putting aside Bibi Dong, her grandfather Qian Daoliu was her only relative.

Moreover, Qian Daoliu had always shown her great care since she was a child.

Even though Qian Renxue felt that Ao Xing seemed to be bewitching and deceiving her, she still wanted to know why he said that!

"Hmph."

Seeing that Qian Renxue had taken the bait, Ao Xing didn't keep her in suspense and explained directly:

"As far as I know, after completing the eighth angelic trial, there is a necessary condition if one wants to begin the ninth angelic trial."

"That's it."

"The guardian deity needs a sacrifice!"

"Impossible!" Qian Renxue shouted excitedly as soon as Ao Xing finished speaking, "You're lying!"

"You think I'm lying?"

Ao Xing chuckled. "Why would I lie to you?"

"You don't actually think that you can become a god just by passing a few tests, do you?"

"To become a god, besides reaching level 99 in soul power, one must also possess an inheritable divine position!"

"Without a divine position, no matter how hard one tries, it's impossible to break through the level 100 barrier!"

"Secondly, one must pass the test for godhood."

"The divine test is a test of the successor's talent, strength, beliefs, and character. The content of the divine test varies depending on the divine position."

"For example, the Angel God's test examines whether the successor has a righteous heart, while the Rakshasa God is the opposite, requiring extreme evil to inherit the throne."

"However, completing the divine qualification test does not directly lead to godhood, because godhood also requires the power of faith!"

"Acquiring the power of faith is the most difficult of all the steps to becoming a god."

"Many people, even those who reach level 99 early on and complete the divine test, are unable to attain godhood because they lack the power of faith to cultivate it!"

"Of course, there is a way to become a god without going through the path of faith, and that is through the sacrifice of the guardians of the divine position!"

"All that's needed is a sacrifice from the guardian of the divine position to initiate the final test. Once the successor passes the final test, they can directly become a god!"

Ao Xing calmly explained to Qian Renxue the method to become a god.

Upon hearing this, the latter's lips trembled slightly, and his chest heaved, clearly indicating that he was somewhat agitated.

But after a while, she firmly stated, "Grandpa is indeed the guardian of the angelic divine position, but I can choose the path of becoming a god through faith!"

"uh-huh?"

"Indeed." Ao Xing nodded in agreement. "But have you considered what your grandfather would do if you passed the Eighth Trial of the Angels, when the Ninth Trial begins?"

A sacrifice?

The first two words that came to Qian Renxue's mind were these two words.

She knew clearly that her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, had spent the latter half of his life guarding the inheritance of the Angel God's position.

He no longer cared about the Spirit Hall at all.

If she can truly pass the first eight tests of the angels, her grandfather will definitely choose to sacrifice himself so that she can smoothly inherit the position of the angel.

"I am a six-winged angel martial soul!"

"I am destined to inherit the position of an angel!"

"I don't need my grandfather to be sacrificed!"

Qian Renxue, somewhat losing her composure, roared at the evil dragon before her.

However, Ao Xing remained calm and unhurried as he spoke:

"That's just wishful thinking on your part."

"Your grandfather has dedicated his faith and the rest of his life to the angel God."

"To put it bluntly, his love for you might not even be as strong as his faith in the angels."

"Your martial soul is a six-winged angel; you're destined to become a god."

"That's precisely why your grandfather would absolutely sacrifice himself to begin the ninth test of the angels!"

"You're a smart person, aren't you?"

"I think you should understand now why the Qian family's Angelic Martial Soul is passed down through a single lineage."

"The more desperately you cultivate, the sooner your grandfather will leave you."

"Xiaoxue, you don't want your grandfather to leave you forever, do you?"

Ao Xing silently observed the perfect woman in front of him.

With his extraordinary eyesight, Qian Renxue's eyes gradually welled up with tears, and he observed every movement of her nostrils.

"I am neither a Soul Master nor a Soul Beast."

"I am an evil dragon."

"I have no soul power."

"But my strength is far greater than that of Soul Masters and Soul Beasts."

"This is enough to show that besides cultivating soul power, there are actually other ways to improve one's own strength."

"As long as you behave well and live a good life with me from now on, I will find a way to help you find other ways to become a god."

"In this way, your grandfather won't have to sacrifice himself to help you become an angel god in the future."

Qian Renxue's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her cheeks from time to time, while the evil dragon's seductive words kept echoing in her mind.
