Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 14.14: Shopping and listening to music. Is this what a decent person should be doing?

Don't tell me, really don't tell me!

The Spirit Hall even sent out its own Holy Maiden.

It's the kind with innate level 20 soul power!

And there he was, standing right in front of him on this snowy night!

"Qinghe, what do you think of Mr. Zhongli's personality?"

Many strong people have very eccentric personalities.

Dugu Bo was aloof and disliked noise, preferring to be alone.

As for other aspects, there's nothing special.

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe was lost in memories, and her eyes twitched involuntarily.

Inviting someone to dinner but forgot to bring money?

"Mr. Zhongli's personality..."

"In my personal opinion, Mr. Zhongli is very talkative and knowledgeable in astronomy and geography."

"Whether it's Soul Masters, Soul Beasts, people's livelihood, or military affairs, Mr. Zhongli always has some unique opinions."

"This is also why I initially recruited Mr. Zhongli."

"At that time, I didn't know that Mr. Zhongli was actually a Title Douluo..."

Xueye could easily find out the truth about this with just a little investigation.

Xue Qinghe made no attempt to conceal anything.

It would be better if she didn't hide it; if she did, this old man would probably overthink it, which would be detrimental to her future development.

Besides, she hasn't revealed her identity yet, and telling the truth will actually gain Xueye's trust.

Xueye nodded, the shadow in his eyes disappearing.

In fact, he had already investigated the whole story before Xue Qinghe came here.

He even knew that Dugu Bo had given Zhongli a luxury mansion.

Dugu Bo and Xue Xing were quite close, so it was highly unlikely that Dugu Bo would introduce "talented people" to Xue Qinghe.

What's more, he's such a "great talent"!

"By imperial decree, the Crown Prince's guest ministers are granted one million gold coins, ten chests of jewels, and..."

"By the way, Qinghe, does His Majesty have a fondness for women?"

"???"

Xue Qinghe was taken aback, and her lips twitched. How did she know whether Zhong Li liked women or not?

After thinking for a moment, she shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, I do not know."

She really didn't know...

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her eyes lit up.

During the meal, she did her best to get information out of Paimon, the simple-minded little guy, and she did have some understanding of Zhongli's preferences.

Xue Ye was about to say that Xue Qinghe was "neglecting his duties" and that he hadn't even mastered this one hobby when communicating with a powerful male.

Just then, Xue Qinghe spoke again.

"Father, I learned from Mr. Zhongli's martial spirit that he enjoys collecting antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and famous actors..."

"And shopping, listening to music, drinking tea..."

Honestly, after learning about Zhongli's hobbies, Xue Qinghe once thought that Paimon was right, Zhongli was just a street hustler!

Which expert isn't diligently cultivating, striving to break through to a higher level?

The deities in the offering hall are quite powerful, aren't they?

You need to reach at least level 96 to enter the Hall of Offerings!

But which of these people doesn't spend all their time in seclusion cultivating their skills?

Shopping and listening to music?

Is this what a decent person should do?

"Forehead……"

The snowy night fell silent, and I could only feel my head buzzing.

Judging from the intelligence, it seems that this is really all Zhong Li and his "Martial Soul" have been doing every day since arriving in Heaven Dou City...

It seems the intelligence is correct.

antique?

The Heavenly Dou Empire has been established for over ten thousand years, and it has so many antiques that it can only be stored in warehouses!

Among them, the most precious "antique" was coveted even by the sect leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School.

They made multiple requests for an exchange.

Xue Ye wasn't stupid. The relationship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Empire had reached a point where it couldn't be improved any further. Whether or not there was an exchange, the relationship would remain the same.

This is a waste of resources!

If this resource can be used to acquire a more powerful one, then that is a rational use of resources.

This is precisely the way to govern subordinates.

"Qinghe, I believe you can handle the matter of treating scholars with respect and courtesy."

"However, you haven't done enough to bind such a powerful figure to the empire's war machine!"

"We present this national treasure, the vast ocean and the universe, to Mr. Zhongli!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe was shocked. Had the old man Xue Ye gone mad?

That was something Ning Fengzhi had begged for several times, but Xue Ye hadn't given up on it!

"Twin martial souls, a hundred-thousand-year soul ring—this kind of powerhouse is worth it!"

"Qinghe, you still have a long way to go!"

"Father, I understand!"

This snowy night was a lesson for her.

Although she doesn't need Xueye's guidance, Xueye is right; she still has a long way to go!

Fortunately, she is the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, not the real Xue Qinghe!

If Zhongli had been won over by Xueye using such "heart-to-heart" tactics beforehand, the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Empire would have been in danger!

Perhaps it will be just like in her dream!

No, absolutely not!

If that wasn't a dream, but a chance to start over, she absolutely wouldn't allow that to happen, never!

"Snowy night, you planned everything, but you didn't expect me to be Xue Qinghe!"

Xue Qinghe's lips curled up slightly, his eyes unusually firm.

No matter what means she uses, she will tie Zhongli to her body... Ugh!

Tie her to this side...

Heaven Dou City, Martial Soul Temple.

The Temple Master, Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, had a gloomy expression.

He had known about what happened at the gate of Tiandou City for several hours.

Silence followed for several hours.

"A formidable enemy!"

"If this person were to attach a spirit ring to their second martial soul, they would become an unprecedentedly formidable enemy!"

Salas was extremely worried about the Spirit Hall.

Although his personal conduct was questionable, he was extremely loyal to the Spirit Hall. It can be said that he dedicated his entire life to the Spirit Hall.

Such a powerful individual cannot be killed casually.

The titled Douluo was determined to escape, and two or three titled Douluos simply couldn't defeat him.

Moreover, this powerful figure might not necessarily escape. What if even they, as several titled Douluo, couldn't defeat him?

Don't forget, Tang Hao!

This person also possesses a 100,000-year soul ring, and their battle record...

"Wait, Miss, she..."

As if he had just thought of something, Salas's eyes lit up, and his gloomy face instantly turned into one of wild joy.

As a high-ranking member of the Spirit Hall and also from Heaven Dou City, he knew Qian Renxue's identity.

However, Zhongli was so terrifying before that he was trembling with fear and trepidation, which made him forget about this matter.

Zhongli is a guest minister in the Crown Prince's residence, which is equivalent to being a guest minister to the young lady.

After worrying for so long, it turns out this person is one of our own?

"Should I try to get closer to His Majesty?"

"If I don't go, won't that old man Xueye suspect that Your Majesty... is a member of the Spirit Hall?"

"If we go..."

"If I pretend not to know about such a serious matter, wouldn't that be like burying my head in the sand and only arousing more suspicion?"

"Go! Not only must we go, but we must go openly and honorably! We must invite His Majesty!"

"The Spirit Hall doesn't need to explain its actions to others!"

"Hahaha……"
