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

Chapter 31: In the end, wear and tear wore down his temper.

The scenery along the way always lacks an eye to appreciate its beauty.

"No need to rush on the way home."

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Zhong Li parted ways with Qian Renxue and Ci Xue.

The journey home is a destination, but the two people are not in the same situation.

Zhongli wasn't in a hurry to go back, but Qian Renxue had to go back early, so they parted ways, which was a good thing.

"Zhongli, I never expected that Miss Qian Renxue could hide in Tiandou City for so many years, and even pretend to be the Crown Prince."

Paimon said with some emotion.

Zhong Li was somewhat bewildered by Qian Renxue's honesty.

Logically speaking, Qian Renxue should have explained something of such importance and then asked the two of them to keep it a secret.

To everyone's surprise, she actually laid her cards on the table, revealing how she plotted to harm Xue Qinghe and the other princes.

"Don't you think Qian Renxue's methods are too cruel?"

Zhong Li glanced sideways, a smile on his face, and said.

"cruel?"

When Paimon listened to Qian Renxue say those things, he felt like he was listening to a storyteller and didn't find it cruel at all.

On the contrary, Zhong Li smashed two 100,000-year-old soul beasts to death right in front of her; that was truly cruel.

"It's probably a bit cruel."

"After all, Xue Qinghe kindly took in Qian Renxue, but he ended up raising a tiger that would eventually harm him. Qian Renxue assassinated him and even impersonated him to continue assassinating others."

Paimon stroked his chin, replying thoughtfully.

"In human terms, those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles."

"But this method is indeed somewhat despicable."

Zhong Li shook his head and murmured.

Liyue was able to establish itself in the best geographical environment in the entire Teyvat continent, not because of any underhanded means.

It's because of force!

Absolute force!

Whether they are immortals, yakshas, ​​or the Thousand Rock Army, they all possess extremely strong martial power.

Three thousand Thousand Rock Army soldiers can fight against demons and gods!

Of course, the main fighting force is Morax and Naga King Rota!

Ancient Liyue, due to its ideal geographical environment, is also the place with the most demon gods.

Morax was able to survive here, and even survive to the end, not because of underhanded methods. He believed in fighting if someone disagreed with him!

Ultimately, wear and tear wore down his temper.

"Sigh~"

"But Paimon doesn't dislike Qian Renxue at all, is that true?"

Paimon said instinctively, blinking at Zhong Li.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Li's eye twitched.

"A few good meals and some gold and silver jewelry were enough to win you over. Of course you don't dislike Qian Renxue."

Zhongli thought to himself, but he ultimately didn't say those words aloud.

"I came in a hurry and didn't get to experience the local customs and culture."

"Slow down on your journey home and savor the experience."

"Paimon, let's go."

"Zhongli, wait for me!"

Qian Renxue's side.

"Miss, if you are so frank with Lord Zhongli, what if the plan is exposed..."

Ci Xue's expression was very strange; he didn't quite understand why Qian Renxue would do this.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue turned her head, glanced at Ci Xue, and said calmly, "Uncle Ci Xue, do you really think Mr. Zhongli doesn't know my identity?"

"Little Paimon might not know, but is it possible that Mr. Zhongli wouldn't know about my martial spirit?"

"Sincerity is the ultimate weapon!"

A six-winged angel—there's only one like it in the entire Douluo Continent. Is there even a question?

Besides, if Zhongli really wanted to stop her, whether he was honest or not wouldn't make much of a difference.

Ci Xue was taken aback, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was indeed true.

Zhong Li followed behind them and witnessed Qian Renxue's "disguise" and her use of her martial spirit. Anyone with a discerning eye could guess her identity, right?

"That's strange, how did Lord Zhongli end up following Miss all the way to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

There's no reason for it.

This is what Ci Xue can't understand, even though Zhong Li saved their lives.

When you're feeling confused, you'll still feel confused.

Ci Xue's words reminded Qian Renxue of what happened two days before she set off.

"This trip may be risky, you..."

At the time, Qian Renxue did not take these words to heart. With a titled Douluo accompanying her, what risks could there be in hunting a soul beast that was over 20,000 years old?

Isn't this a piece of cake?

"Perhaps he calculated that I would encounter danger..."

Qian Renxue thought to herself, but did not say it to She Long.

Suddenly, Qian Renxue seemed to remember something and turned to Ci Xue, saying, "Uncle Ci Xue, please keep Mr. Zhongli's matter a secret. I don't want Grandpa or that woman to know!"

Ci Xue was shocked; it was the first time he had ever seen Qian Renxue with such a resolute expression.

How can we prevent the High Priest and the Pope from knowing about Lord Zhongli's affairs?

Isn't this making things difficult for him to draw blood?

If the High Priest and the Pope find out about this in the future, and he conceals the fact that he pricked his own blood, will he still be alive?

"Miss, Lord Zhongli is a dragon among men, sooner or later..."

As Ci Xue finished speaking, he noticed Qian Renxue staring intently at him. He knew that if he didn't agree today, he would likely face dire consequences later.

Gritting her teeth, Ci Xue nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Miss, I will not reveal a single word about Lord Zhongli and Paimon regarding this trip!"

"Thank you, Uncle Bloodstain."

Despite receiving Qian Renxue's gratitude, Ci Xue could only manage a helpless, bitter smile.

Being a subordinate is really tough.

A major event recently occurred in Tiandou City: the former Blue Tyrant Soul Master Advanced Academy was suddenly renamed Shrek Academy.

Blue Tyrant Academy is quite famous in Tiandou City. In this place where land is so valuable, it would be impossible to set up an academy without extremely strong connections.

Even the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is located in the suburbs of Heavenly Dou City, but the Blue Tyrant Academy is located inside the city!

It's really strange that they changed their name to a college they'd never even heard of.

"Xiao Gang, Flander, do you mean to say that you've already vindicated a certain emperor as soon as you arrived in Heaven Dou City?"

They didn't intend to be exposed, but because of that idiot Dai Mubai, they almost lost their lives!

It's perfectly normal that Liu Erlong, who rarely leaves his home, wouldn't know what happened in Tiandou City.

While everyone was chatting, Yu Xiaogang brought up what had happened at the city gate.

He really envied Zhong Li!

Both are separated beast martial souls, but Zhong Li has twin martial souls and even cultivated to the level of a Title Douluo!

He brought this up not out of revenge, nor did he have the guts to do so.

If he so chooses, he is virtually invincible; who would dare to provoke him?

Even his father, Yu Yuanzhen, would tremble in fear upon seeing someone like Zhong Li...

"That Your Excellency is a guest advisor in the Crown Prince's residence. At the beginning, even the Crown Prince did not know his strength and hired him as a guest advisor based on his knowledge."

"If it weren't for Xiaobai courting death, this Your Majesty wouldn't have gotten angry and thus exposed your strength..."
