Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 224 Reunion with Dai Mubai

"Are you sure Dugu Bo didn't recognize you!?"

After returning to the Crown Prince's palace, Qian Renxue questioned the Porcupine Douluo in the darkness.

Upon hearing this, the pufferfish Douluo, hidden in the shadows, trembled slightly with his large body. Fortunately, protected by the darkness, neither the Serpent Spear Douluo nor Qian Renxue noticed anything amiss with the pufferfish Douluo.

"Of course!" The Porcupine Douluo gritted his teeth, still not telling the truth, and sneered with feigned disdain, "That piece of trash Dugu Bo is no match for me at all! I defeated him in a single move, how could I let him have a chance to recognize me!?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue remained silent for a moment before nodding.

"Your Highness, has something happened?" asked the Serpent Spear Douluo beside him.

Qian Renxue did not hide anything and told Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo what had happened in the secret chamber of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Tang San!? Tang Hao!?" Upon hearing these two names, both Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo's pupils shrank simultaneously!

"Your Highness, do you need us...?" After a while, the ruthless voice of the Serpent Spear Douluo came from the shadows—if Dugu Bo was the flaw in the plan, then Tang San, who could cure Dugu Bo's martial soul defect, was the unexpected turn of events. Neither the Serpent Spear Douluo nor the Porcupine Douluo wanted any unexpected turn of events to occur, so naturally they wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible!

From the time Grandmaster wrote the letter to Tang San to the time Tang San returned to Heaven Dou City, there was enough time for Serpent Spear Douluo to make his move!

"Can you stop Tang Hao?!" Before Serpent Spear Douluo could finish speaking, Qian Renxue shouted coldly.

If she could, Qian Renxue would also like to kill Tang Hao and his son as soon as possible, but she just can't do it!

Faced with Qian Renxue's questioning, neither the Serpent Spear Douluo nor the Porcupine Douluo dared to refute it. The Serpent Spear Douluo gave a reluctant snort and said, "Then what do we do now?"

"Let nature take its course!" Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, then said coldly, "Let's not even talk about whether Tang San can wake up Dugu Bo. Since the Porcupine Douluo hasn't been exposed, even if Dugu Bo wakes up, as long as you don't continue to show up, they won't be able to get any more clues. Even if Dugu Bo suspects me, Ning Fengzhi and the others won't easily believe him. I might even be able to take the opportunity to turn the tables on him!"

"Anyway, the plan is now in its final stage. All you need to do is remain hidden in the shadows! Once Xue Ye is dead, the Heaven Dou Empire will belong to our Spirit Hall!"

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Serpent Spear Douluo calmed down and was no longer worried.

The Porcupine Douluo felt a tremor in his chest, praying in his heart that Tang San must not awaken Dugu Bo!

Now that things have come to this, the Porcupine Douluo has nowhere to retreat—either tell the truth, and Qian Renxue will send him and the Serpent Spear Douluo to face Tang Hao, where they will surely die; or continue to conceal the truth, and perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope!

Leaving aside the undercurrents within Tiandou City, Han Feng and Ning Rongrong, after seven days and seven nights of arduous travel, finally arrived at Xingluo City, the capital of the Xingluo Empire!

Why is it so difficult?

As everyone knows, Han Feng can't ride a horse. Han Feng and Ning Rongrong really did walk all the way from Tian Dou City to Xing Luo City!

In other words, Han Feng's blood and qi have greatly improved, his cultivation has broken through to the Soul King level, and his soul power has increased by leaps and bounds; otherwise, it might have taken much longer!

"Han Feng, we've finally arrived in Xingluo City! It's been such a long time!" Ning Rongrong said excitedly in Han Feng's ear, clinging to his back with her arms around his neck.

Han Feng slapped Ning Rongrong's bottom in an annoyance, rolling his eyes and saying, "You have no right to say that, do you? You've been clinging to my back since the third day, haven't you? You didn't want to ride in the carriage, but is it more comfortable on my back than in the carriage?"

Ning Rongrong wasn't shy at all; instead, she nuzzled Han Feng affectionately and hugged him even tighter: "It's much more comfortable than a carriage!"

"Sigh!" Han Feng couldn't resist Ning Rongrong's adorable and clingy manner, and sighed helplessly, "I've noticed you're becoming more and more clingy. It's my fault..."

"Hehe!" Ning Rongrong chuckled twice, making a series of sweet sounds that were unclear in meaning.

Upon arriving at the gates of Xingluo City, Ning Rongrong, no longer wanting to linger with Han Feng, reluctantly jumped down, took Han Feng's hand, and prepared to enter the city.

Perhaps due to the increasingly tense situation on the mainland, both Tian Dou City and Xing Luo City require identity verification before entering the city. However, Han Feng and Ning Rongrong did not have such concerns. After casually taking out the tokens given to them by Dai Mubai, the two Xing Luo soldiers guarding the city gate immediately and respectfully let the two of them into the city.

Although it was their first time visiting Xingluo City, Han Feng and Ning Rongrong found nothing particularly amazing about it.

I've been to both Heaven Dou City and Spirit City, so how magnificent can Star Luo City be?

However, it must be said that Star Luo City is completely different from Heaven Dou City and Martial Soul City!

The Spirit City was filled with a religious atmosphere, with people praying every three steps and kneeling every five steps, and almost everyone was a devout believer; although the Heavenly Dou City was not chaotic, vulgar aristocratic playboys could be seen everywhere.

But Xingluo City is different. The Xingluo Empire worships martial prowess to an extreme. Even the nobles are all from martial backgrounds. The direct consequence of this is that, since entering the city, less than an incense stick's time has passed, I have already seen two street fights. The two sides fighting may not have any conflicts, and may even be friends. The reason they are fighting may just be to have a friendly spar!

Upon entering Xingluo City, a strong aura of ferocity immediately hit him. If it weren't for the fact that everyone here was well-dressed and spoke with dignity, Han Feng would have thought he had entered a bandit's den!

This is also what the Star Luo people have always been criticized for. During the war, the Heaven Dou Empire even portrayed the Star Luo people as mindless barbarians, which made the people of the Heaven Dou Empire disdain to associate with the Star Luo people.

Han Feng did not comment on whether the Heaven Dou Empire or the Star Luo Empire was superior or inferior, but compared to the bunch of good-for-nothing nobles in Heaven Dou City, any Soul Master with a bit of ambition would rather become a nobleman in Star Luo City.

Of course, this is on the premise that one does not become a member of the Star Luo Empire's royal family.

"Han Feng, should we go directly to Boss Dai and the others, or...?" Ning Rongrong asked playfully, holding Han Feng's hand.

"Of course we should go directly to him!" Han Feng glanced at the Star Luo Imperial Palace in the center of Star Luo City and said dryly.

"Shouldn't we find a place to wash up first?" Ning Rongrong asked, glancing at the dim sky and tugging at her sleeve with a hint of disgust.

For seven days and seven nights, Ning Rongrong clung to Han Feng's back. Although she wasn't tired, she had nowhere to wash or groom herself. After seven days, Ning Rongrong naturally couldn't stand this feeling anymore—of course, it's also possible that she wanted to sleep with Han Feng!

Han Feng, of course, didn't think that far ahead. He grinned and said, "Wash! Of course I'll wash! But since we're already in Star Luo City, it would be a shame not to enjoy the treatment of a Star Luo prince! I want to see what kind of life Old Bai is living!"

"Oh..." Ning Rongrong responded with some disappointment.

Ning Rongrong wasn't curious about the prince's treatment; what she really wanted was to take a bath with Han Feng and then have all sorts of little stories unfold!

However, it now seems that Ning Rongrong's little scheme has clearly failed.

Upon arriving at the Star Luo Imperial Palace, Han Feng and Ning Rongrong were stopped—this was, after all, the imperial palace; they couldn't just walk in!

Just as Han Feng was about to take out the token given to him by Dai Mubai, a rather familiar figure came into his field of vision.

When Han Feng saw him, he also saw Han Feng. The moment he saw Han Feng's face, the man was startled, his face showing a mixture of fear and anger. He pointed angrily at Han Feng and shouted, "It's you!"

"Lord Tok!" The two Soul Masters guarding the palace immediately knelt down respectfully upon seeing the man.

Han Feng glanced at Tok with a mocking expression and said sarcastically, "Oh! Isn't this Wangcai, the First Prince's dog?!"

"You!" Tok's eyes widened, unable to hide his anger, but to Han Feng's surprise, Tok only uttered one syllable before suppressing his anger and calmly asking, "Young friend Han, are you here to see the Second Prince?"

Whether it was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School behind Han Feng and Ning Rongrong, or Dai Mubai's current status in the Star Luo Empire, Tok had no choice but to suppress his anger!

Seeing this, Han Feng narrowed his eyes, sneered, and said with a hint of amusement, "Indeed!"

"Then I'll lead the way for young friend Han!" At this moment, there was no trace of anger on Tok's face; instead, he appeared extremely friendly!

"No need! I'm already here!" Just as Tok finished speaking, a clear voice came from afar. Upon hearing this voice, Tok's expression changed drastically, while Han Feng chuckled and revealed a playful look in his eyes.

As the voice faded, a tall, blond figure emerged from the palace. Even before he got close, one could sense the faint but palpable aura of menace emanating from him. Who else could it be but Dai Mubai?
