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

Chapter 142: One dares to ask, and the other dares to answer!

Xue Qinghe was about to say something to probe for "intelligence".

If she could, she would also like to increase her soul power level in this way!

In just two months, one can rise from Soul Saint to Title Douluo. If one could master such knowledge, how could the world not be unified and at peace?

Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out, interrupting Xue Qinghe's train of thought.

"Eh, the Martial God... Your Majesty!"

The three of them instinctively looked toward the source of the sound.

A group of women with extraordinary bearing and an aura of gentle tenderness were looking in their direction with surprise.

They all had matching light blue hair and wore various light blue dresses; just standing there, they were a sight to behold.

"From Tianshui Academy..."

Zhong Li and Xue Qinghe murmured almost simultaneously, but their expressions were different.

Xue Qinghe frowned, glanced at the Tianshui Girls' Group, and then looked at Zhong Li.

Finally, when he looked at the Tianshui girl group again, a hint of disgust appeared deep in his eyes.

As the crown prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe was quite clear about the situation at Tianshui Academy.

Recruiting female students with ice and water attributes is one thing.

They only recruit beautiful women...

Their intentions were practically written all over their faces.

Once graduates, students from Tianshui Academy are almost always snapped up by noble lords, and even the heads of some powerful forces are enamored with them.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Tianshui Academy doesn't have much of a background, with only one Soul Douluo in charge.

But the students of each generation married noblemen, high-ranking officials of the empire, and heads of powerful forces. What an enormous network of relationships that is!

Furthermore, as a student of Tianshui Academy, he is also a Soul Master with considerable strength.

As long as Tianshui Academy doesn't do anything reckless and offend the two great empires or the three major sects, it's unlikely that its lineage will be severed.

As for why Xue Qinghe dislikes these people, it's simple: in her opinion, Shui Bing'er and the others have the potential to be seductive, and there are too many of them!

If we're talking about looks, temperament, and figure...

Xue Qinghe has absolute confidence, surpassing Shui Bing'er and others.

But there are some things she might not be able to handle, because she hasn't studied them, unlike those at Tianshui Academy...

Zhong Li and Xue Qinghe had different ideas; he simply recognized these people, nothing more.

For Zhong Li, judging a person's essence lies in whether they have kept their promises, not in whether they are scheming or "bad".

The people of Liyue are not all perfect; there are some who are rather "outstanding".

For Zhong Li, this was simply one of the many facets of life.

The girl who spoke blinked and murmured, "So handsome!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.

Especially her companions who knew her background.

This person was none other than Shuiyue'er, who was prone to infatuation.

That's just Shuiyue'er's personality. When it comes to people she likes, she doesn't care about their abilities; she just likes handsome men with good looks and charisma.

Like most men, he needs to look at beautiful women, simply for their aesthetic pleasure, to make himself feel happier.

Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and the others glanced at Shui Yue'er, somewhat helplessly.

Last time at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, these sisters saw Dai Mubai on stage and both thought he was very handsome.

Even after Dai Mubai was defeated, nothing had changed.

Of course, she did the same when looking at other handsome men.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the God of War!"

After the women came to their senses, they quickly bowed to Zhong Li, and then bowed to Xue Qinghe.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

After the ceremony, Shui Bing'er pulled Shui Yue'er behind her somewhat embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Martial God, Yue'er was a bit too outspoken and may have disturbed your enjoyment..."

Shuiyue'er and Shuibing'er are half-sisters, sharing the same father but different mothers. Shuiyue'er is a little younger than her and is the younger sister.

Shui Bing'er had no choice but to protect her own younger sister.

Shuiyue'er's behavior was somewhat impolite, like a man harassing a beautiful woman in the street.

Don't assume that only men can flirt with beautiful women.

Handsome men, like the readers, are often teased by women, proving that no one says women are inferior to men.

For the people of Douluo Continent, especially in the feudal era, Shui Yue'er's infatuated behavior did indeed have a certain... meaning.

If you switch genders, the comments will exceed 10,000.

Ma Hongjun is one of the representative figures.

At this moment, Shuiyue'er seemed to realize that she had "caused trouble," and her whole body trembled and she started to shudder.

She did look rather pitiful.

Zhong Li waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about such things.

So handsome?

He had heard such words countless times.

"Speaking without restraint..."

Paimon muttered something unconsciously, then scratched his head and said, "Zhongli, does Yue'er, the girl who praised your looks, like someone like you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhongli, who was about to say something, swallowed his words back.

After a moment, Zhongli finally spoke: "From a universally rational perspective, humanity's pursuit of beautiful things is diverse."

"Perhaps in Miss Yue'er's eyes, my appearance, or perhaps my temperament and strength, have something she admires, which is why she couldn't help but praise me."

"This wasn't recklessness or being outspoken; it was just an unconscious act."

Everyone was taken aback and looked at Zhongli with some surprise.

How did he manage to explain it so seriously?

Subconscious human behavior?

The pursuit of beautiful things?

Shui Bing'er subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. No one really had anything to say in response to Zhong Li's words.

Isn't liking someone about these kinds of things?

Appearance, aura, strength, background—there always needs to be a "shining point" to attract the other person and give them a reason to like them, right?

They never expected that Zhongli was not only powerful but also so kind and approachable, truly unlike anyone else.

This is a state of mind that no other strong person has ever had.

"Oh, I see!"

Paimon nodded, suddenly realizing, and then continued, "So, Miss Moon must like your appearance?"

The women's eyes twitched. How could this little girl say such a thing in front of the person involved?

To their even greater surprise, Zhong Li stroked his chin, as if deep in thought, before replying solemnly, "That's how it should be."

"From the unconscious words of Miss Yue'er, it's not hard to tell that she's more interested in my appearance."

"I see!"

"Isn't this what people commonly call superficiality?"

Zhong Li: "..."

Shuiyue'er: "..."

How superficial!
