Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 236 Sister Qianqian is the Crown Prince!?

P.S. There will definitely be extra chapters on Monday!

"Could you please, for my sake, let's call it a day?"

Gu Rong smiled slightly and spoke in a humble yet assertive manner.

The Star Luo Emperor's gaze locked onto Gu Rong, his eyes flickering with uncertainty. Although unwilling, he remained rational, knowing he couldn't stop Dai Mubai. He could only snort coldly and say, "Since Bone Douluo has intervened, Mubai is surely safe!"

As he spoke, Emperor Xingluo waved his hand, and the group of Soul Douluos and Soul Saints behind him immediately understood and withdrew their soul power fluctuations.

But the Star Luo Emperor showed no intention of leaving. Instead, he continued to stare at the ancient banyan tree and said meaningfully, "Bone Douluo must also be preoccupied with worldly affairs, so I will not stay any longer!"

"Of course!" Gu Rong squinted and smiled noncommittally.

"Hmph!" Seeing Gu Rong nod, Emperor Xingluo snorted coldly again, his tiger eyes flashing over Han Feng. Then, he led his men away in a flick of his sleeve. Since he couldn't stop Dai Mubai, what he needed to do now was to try his best to reduce the impact of this matter in order to consolidate his position. He could either have Dai Mubai join the army to guard the border, or make a fuss about the sudden appearance of the evil aura. There were many ways to do this!

Emperor Xingluo didn't intend to eliminate Dai Mubai completely, because he knew that Dai Mubai would eventually succeed to the throne. All he wanted was to postpone Dai Mubai's succession as much as possible!

Without the delusion of immortality, the Star Luo Emperor is actually quite reliable in that respect!

Han Feng watched the departing figure of the Star Luo Emperor and clicked his tongue softly.

He knew that the Star Luo Emperor was driving people away, not just Gu Rong, but also him and Ning Rongrong.

Having witnessed such an event, the Star Luo Emperor has lost all face in front of his loyal followers and will certainly not allow Han Feng and Ning Rongrong to stay. As for the hundred-plus days that were agreed upon just two days ago, they are obviously not valid!

"I never imagined that such an extreme emperor could be born on the Douluo Continent!" Han Feng sighed inwardly with a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including regret and awe).

The original work in his previous life focused more on the stories between Soul Masters and rarely mentioned the Star Luo Empire. Therefore, Han Feng's understanding of the Star Luo Empire was not deep. Naturally, he projected Xue Ye's views onto the Star Luo Emperor. Now it seems that he was the one whose thoughts were limited by the original work!

"Feng boy! Snap out of it!" Gu Rong returned to the group and, seeing Han Feng's dazed expression, scolded him impatiently, "Why are you so stubborn? A mere Soul King dares to go against so many Soul Douluos? Don't you value your life? Did I tell you this before we left? Have you forgotten?"

Upon hearing this, Han Feng was about to admit his mistake when Ning Rongrong behind him became unhappy.

Ning Rongrong, her little face puffed out, blocked Han Feng's path, and said indignantly, "Grandpa Bone, this isn't Han Feng's fault! It's all because the Star Luo Emperor is petty and can't stand seeing Boss Dai doing well! And Grandpa Bone, you're the same. Everyone saw it just now. Han Feng wasn't arrogant enough to go head-to-head with a Soul Douluo. It's clearly because you were late!"

Seeing Ning Rongrong protecting Han Feng, Gu Rong felt both angry and jealous. He glared at her, but dared not show it in front of Ning Rongrong. Instead, he quickly explained, "Rongrong! You've wronged Grandpa. If it weren't for..."

Halfway through her sentence, Gu Rong suddenly remembered Ning Fengzhi's instructions, and her voice abruptly stopped.

Ning Rongrong wasn't really angry; she was just trying to shut Gu Rong up from scolding Han Feng. But seeing Gu Rong's hesitant expression, she became curious and blinked her big eyes, asking curiously, "What if it's not?"

Gu Rong couldn't stand Ning Rongrong's charmingly naive appearance. He smiled awkwardly, knowing that he had to give a clear answer today. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Do you remember what happened in Tiandou City? Dugu Bo has woken up, and the person who attacked Dugu Bo has been found!"

"Oh?" After Gu Rong finished speaking, Han Feng also became interested and asked, "Who is it?"

"Porcupine Douluo!" Gu Rong smirked and chuckled, then murmured meaningfully.

"Porcupine Douluo? Isn't Porcupine Douluo an elder of the Spirit Hall? Does this mean the Spirit Hall is going to declare war on us!?" Ning Rongrong's pupils shrank. She already knew why Ning Fengzhi and the others had asked her to leave Heaven Dou City. Now, hearing the name 'Porcupine Douluo,' she couldn't help but wonder what it meant.

But Gu Rong shook his head, affectionately ruffled Ning Rongrong's hair, and said, "That's not it. If I'm not mistaken, besides you and Feng's family, the Crown Prince was also at Feng's house that day, wasn't he?"

"Crown Prince?" Ning Rongrong was taken aback. Although she didn't know why Gu Rong knew there were other people at Han Feng's house that day, wasn't it Sister Qianqian who was at Han Feng's house that day? When did she become the Crown Prince?

Gu Rong assumed Ning Rongrong was still hiding something and didn't delve into it further. He simply said, word by word, "We suspect that the Crown Prince colluded with the Spirit Hall to poison Emperor Xue Ye!"

"Hiss!" Gu Rong's words were so shocking that both Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong gasped, feeling a chill run down their spines!

Even in the most ruthless Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Emperor never thought of eliminating Dai Mubai completely!

Even tigers don't eat their cubs, let alone a patricide!

"Crown Prince!?" Only Han Feng's eyes widened, his teeth clenched so tightly that he practically squeezed out the two words from between his teeth!

Gu Rong, unsuspecting, simply sighed and comforted him, "Young Feng, I know you have a close personal relationship with the Crown Prince, but now it seems it was all just the Crown Prince using you. Don't take it too hard!"

"But..." Ning Rongrong frowned slightly, about to explain, when Han Feng suddenly said, "Yes! This junior understands!"

Ning Rongrong was even more puzzled and looked at Han Feng in confusion. However, Han Feng was too preoccupied to notice Ning Rongrong's gaze. Instead, he gritted his teeth and asked Gu Rong, "Senior Gu, may I ask which senior awakened Senior Dugu?"

"Haha!" Hearing this, Gu Rong laughed and said rather sarcastically, "You won't believe it, but you've really gotten yourself into trouble by calling him 'senior'! The one who saved Dugu Bo was none other than Tang San!"

"Tang San!?" Han Feng's lowered eyes suddenly narrowed!

The next moment, Han Feng suddenly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Gu Rong and solemnly said, "Senior Gu! This junior has a request!"

Gu Rong frowned, narrowed his eyes, gave Han Feng a deep look, and slowly said, "If you want me to spare the Crown Prince's life, you've come to the wrong person!"

"Of course not!" Han Feng's expression remained unchanged as he calmly replied, "It's just that after this incident, I feel I cannot protect Rongrong. Now that the changes in Tiandou City have come to light, I would like to ask you to take Rongrong back to Tiandou. I want to begin my true training!"

"A real trial?" Gu Rong frowned even more deeply. He couldn't understand why Han Feng was doing this. Was he discouraged by the Star Luo Emperor and had developed a thirst for strength?

Han Feng knew that this alone wouldn't be enough to convince Gu Rong, so he suddenly raised his head, his eyes clear, and said, word by word, "The inheritance of the gods! The trials of the divine examination!"

"The inheritance of the gods!? The divine test!?" Gu Rong was startled by these two terms, and shock surged in his weathered eyes. For a moment, he didn't know how to speak!

Just by hearing the name, Gu Rong could vaguely guess what it meant!

"Han Feng, Qianqian..." But at this moment, Ning Rongrong could no longer suppress her doubts. Before she could finish a sentence, Han Feng's heart tightened, and he pulled her into his arms, staring intently at her!

At that moment, Ning Rongrong was shocked—she actually saw a pleading look in Han Feng's eyes!

Ning Rongrong was shocked and stopped asking questions. She still didn't know what had happened, but she knew that Han Feng didn't want Gu Rong to know that the person in his house that day was not the Crown Prince but Sister Qianqian.

"Has your divine test begun?" Ning Rongrong changed the subject, gently stroking Han Feng's face with her jade-like hand as she asked softly.

Han Feng was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Mm!"

Ning Rongrong knew perfectly well that Han Feng was lying, but she didn't press him. She simply smiled, gently rubbed Han Feng's furrowed brows, and whispered in his ear, "I'll be waiting for you in Tiandou City!"

Before Han Feng could answer, she pressed her two luscious lips to his.

"Cough cough!" Gu Rong was so engrossed in the shock of the divine inheritance that he hadn't noticed Han Feng and Ning Rongrong. When he looked at them, they were already hugging each other. A hint of displeasure flashed across his face, and he coughed deliberately.

Ning Rongrong reluctantly left Han Feng. Gu Rong glared at Han Feng and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Han Feng didn't mince words; he simply touched his forehead, and the divinity of the God of Defense descended. Gu Rong immediately sensed the extraordinary and noble aura emanating from it!

Gu Rong's pupils contracted, realizing that even if Han Feng didn't possess a divine inheritance, he must have a divine artifact!

"In that case, I'll take Rongrong with me!" Gu Rong gave Han Feng a deep look and smiled with satisfaction.

"Grandpa Bone, let's go!" To Gu Rong's surprise, Ning Rongrong didn't throw a tantrum and actually urged him on!

This left Gu Rong completely baffled—one second they were all lovey-dovey and reluctant to part, how come the next second they didn't even have any lingering feelings?

Are all young people like this?

What am I supposed to do with the words I've prepared for so long?

"Ah! Oh..." Gu Rong nodded blankly, creating a black hole. Before leaving, he instructed Han Feng, "Young Feng! Don't be reckless! If you really can't handle it, just ask me for help!"

Seeing Han Feng nod, Gu Rong finally felt relieved and led Ning Rongrong into the black hole.

"Zhu Qing... give me a horse! The fastest horse in Xingluo!" After Gu Rong and Ning Rongrong left, Han Feng stared at Zhu Zhu Qing and earnestly requested.

Zhu Zhuqing frowned and asked hesitantly, "But, don't you not know how to ride a horse?"
