Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 591 Bai Xiuxiu's Day

In that dimly lit room, the atmosphere was so quiet that time seemed to stand still.

Bai Xiuxiu stood there with an upright yet respectful posture, the soft light falling on her body and outlining her elegant figure.

She slowly extended her slender fingers and removed the dazzling necklace from her neck, her movements gentle and careful, as if she were holding an incomparably precious and fragile treasure.

She then gently placed the necklace on the table, bowed slightly, and said in a clear but respectful voice, "Lord Augustus, is there anything you require?"

"Click!"

A sudden, sharp crack shattered the silence in the room. The ruby ​​necklace, which had been lying quietly on the table, suddenly cracked without warning, the crack slowly opening like a gruesome wound.

Immediately afterwards, a blood-red pupil slowly emerged from the crack, its pupil shimmering with an eerie and cold light, as if it could see through all the secrets of the world.

Those blood-red eyes began to slowly scan the room, each turn seemingly carrying a chilling sense of oppression. Finally, that cold gaze landed on Bai Xiuxiu.

"How's the infiltration mission I assigned you going?"

Although this eyeball had no mouth, Augustus's deep and somewhat authoritative voice seemed to penetrate from another dimension, echoing leisurely in the room.

Bai Xiuxiu straightened her back slightly and replied calmly, "I have successfully infiltrated the target's side and have initially gained their trust."

"Very good. Now, I'm giving you a task: take a sample of body tissue from the target, such as hair. Of course, blood would be even better. I need it to assess the target's condition. Understand?"

Augustus's voice came from the necklace again, this time with an added air of unquestionable authority.

What is the target's situation? What use would it be to Augustus to know about Nan Fusheng's situation?

A wave of doubt washed over Bai Xiuxiu, and countless thoughts raced through her mind. However, she didn't reveal her confusion; instead, she maintained a respectful expression and softly replied, "Yes."

"Click."

Upon receiving Bai Xiuxiu's response, the blood-red pupils instantly closed, and the cracked ruby ​​seemed to return to its original state, transforming back into a seemingly ordinary ruby ​​necklace, lying quietly on the table, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.

Bai Xiuxiu reached out, gently picked up the necklace, and put it back around her neck. She lowered her head slightly, looked at the necklace, and murmured softly, "Hair? That shouldn't be too hard to get."

in the afternoon.

The afternoon sunlight streamed through the window, gently scattering golden patches on the study floor.

Bai Xiuxiu sat at her desk, intently studying how to process documents. A pile of papers lay before her, exuding a faint scent of ink.

These were all tasks assigned to her by Qingque, and Bai Xiuxiu did not slack off in the slightest when it came to these tasks.

She held a quill pen in her hand, sometimes writing on paper, sometimes pausing to think. If she encountered any problems she didn't understand, she would follow Qingque's advice and mark them down. Once she had accumulated ten, she would then seek help from someone.

Bai Xiuxiu took these tasks very seriously. She meticulously recorded the key points, writing each character neatly and beautifully.

Bai Xiuxiu was filled with gratitude towards Qingque, who had brought her to the governor's residence. Although she carried a special mission and was a spy hidden in the shadows, this did not diminish her sincere gratitude towards Qingque.

At least for this kind of duty, she did her best to complete it, partly to live up to Qingque's trust, and partly to better complete her undercover mission.

Just as Bai Xiuxiu had finally accumulated ten questions and was about to get up to ask Qingque for answers, the study door was suddenly flung open with a "bang".

The loud noise shattered the tranquility of the study. Bai Xiuxiu subconsciously looked up and saw Qing Que rushing in.

"Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu, come on, come on, Lady Naxida has returned. I told her about your situation, and she wants to see you now."

As Qingque spoke, she grabbed Bai Xiuxiu's hand without saying a word and tried to run outside.

"Qingque, slow down."

Bai Xiuxiu gave a light scolding, a helpless smile on her face. Her steps faltered slightly as Qingque led her, but she still tried her best to maintain her balance. Then, she asked with some curiosity, "What kind of person is that Lady Naxida?"

"Well, you'll understand when you see her in person."

Qingque deliberately kept everyone in suspense, her smile growing increasingly mysterious. She blinked and continued, "Don't worry, as long as it doesn't involve Lord Fusheng, she's quite easy to talk to."

"Doesn't this involve Nan Fusheng?" Bai Xiuxiu murmured to herself. A complex emotion, barely perceptible, flashed in her eyes, but she had come specifically for Nan Fusheng!

Pulled along by Qingque, Bai Xiuxiu quickly arrived at a door. Before Bai Xiuxiu could react, Qingque pushed the door open and said energetically, "Lady Naxida, I've brought Xiuxiu."

"Qingque, haven't I told you countless times to knock before entering? Why do you always ignore me?"

A childish female voice rang out from the room, clear yet tinged with a hint of reproach. Immediately afterward, a petite figure came into Bai Xiuxiu's view.

"Is this Lady Nasita?" Bai Xiuxiu stopped abruptly, staring blankly at the young girl in front of her.

The main reason was that Nasita looked so small, with a figure like a young girl in the human world, and her delicate face exuded innocence and naivety.

Fortunately, Bai Xiuxiu reacted quickly. She soon withdrew her somewhat impolite gaze, and her face regained its composure. She bowed to Naxida with a respectful and sincere attitude, and said, "Greetings, Lady Naxida."

Judging by appearances is foolish. Moreover, for these soul beasts that have taken human form, their appearance can change at will according to their desires. It's just that the vast majority of ferocious beasts don't deliberately adjust their appearance.

And this senior in front of me might have some special hobby, which is why he looks like this.

Naxida slightly raised her head, her gaze falling on Bai Xiuxiu. A gentle smile appeared on her face as she said, "You must be Xiuxiu. Don't be shy, sit down and let's chat." Her voice was soft and warm, sending a warm feeling through anyone who heard it.

Bai Xiuxiu nodded slightly and, at Naxi Da's prompting, slowly sat down on a chair nearby. She was both nervous and curious, wondering why this senior wanted to see her.

"Xiuxiu, you're a sea spirit beast, right?"

Bai Xiuxiu immediately sat up straight. "Yes, Lady Naxida."

"I heard you came to Douluo Continent to avenge your clan?"

"Yes."

"So, do you know who killed your people?"

A hint of hatred flashed in Bai Xiuxiu's eyes as she said, "I know, it's a deep-sea demon whale king that's nearly a million years old and calls itself the Demon Emperor."

"The Demon Emperor?" Nasita frowned slightly, a hint of doubt and contemplation flashing in her eyes. "Is it the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult?" she murmured softly, seemingly talking to herself, yet also seemingly asking Bai Xiuxiu.

"Do you know anything about the killer who murdered my mother?" Bai Xiuxiu's eyes showed a hint of excitement. She leaned forward slightly and unconsciously clenched her hands.

Although Leviathan and the others promised to help her avenge herself, she herself didn't actually know much about the Demon Emperor. Now that she had the opportunity to learn about her enemy, she naturally wouldn't let it go easily.

"I'm just guessing."

Nasita shook her head. "The Holy Spirit Cult is a cancer on the continent. They are an organization of evil soul masters, consisting of one emperor, two kings, and four heavenly kings. The Demon Emperor is their leader, but this leader is always elusive."

"Most people don't even know whether the Demon Emperor is male or female. So, the possibility of it being someone with the same name cannot be ruled out."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiuxiu lowered her head in disappointment.

"It is only right to avenge your people and mother. I will not interfere in your affairs. But there are two things I hope you will remember." Nasita's tone suddenly became serious.

"Please speak, senior." Bai Xiuxiu sat up straight, her expression returning to focus.

"Firstly, Qingque should have already told you. That is, in this mansion, apart from her, Governor Nan Fusheng is unaware of our soul beast identities. Therefore, I hope you won't give yourself away in front of him, understand?"

"Yes." Bai Xiuxiu nodded immediately, like a chick pecking at rice.

Secondly…

With a deep and resonant hum, an incredibly terrifying pressure of soul power instantly erupted from Naxida's body.

This oppressive force, like a surging ocean wave, swept over Bai Xiuxiu, pressing heavily on her. Bai Xiuxiu felt as if she were enveloped by an invisible mountain, making it extremely difficult to breathe.

"I don't care about your revenge, but you can't let your revenge involve this governor's residence, and even more so, you can't involve Nan Fusheng, understand?"

Naxi Da's voice was exceptionally clear amidst the powerful pressure of the soul force, each word seemingly carrying a strong force, deeply imprinted in Bai Xiuxiu's heart.

"Yes, yes," Bai Xiuxiu said with some difficulty, her forehead covered in sweat, and her face pale from the intense pressure.

She was utterly shocked by Nasita's power, and at the same time, she gained a deeper understanding of her own predicament in this place.

"That's good." Upon hearing Bai Xiuxiu's reply, Naxida smiled, and the terrifying soul power pressure vanished without a trace.

She stretched out her small hand to Bai Xiuxiu, her smile softening again, and said, "Then, please guide me from now on, Xiuxiu."

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it." Bai Xiuxiu was flattered and extended her hand to shake hands with Naxida.

"Lady Naxida, now that you've met Xiuxiu, may I take her away?" Qingque immediately spoke up to help Bai Xiuxiu out of her predicament, seeing her sitting somewhat uneasy in her seat.

"Go ahead," Nasita waved her hand casually.

"Mm." Qingque immediately took Bai Xiuxiu's small hand and led her out of the room. As they stepped out of the room, Bai Xiuxiu couldn't help but look back at Naxida, her heart filled with curiosity and awe for this mysterious girl.

"Xiuxiu, don't blame Lady Naxida. She did that just now for the safety of this manor. She's usually very easy to talk to."

In the corridor, Qingque held Bai Xiuxiu's little hand while explaining Naxida's attitude.

"Qingque, don't worry, I have no resentment towards Lady Naxida. After all, I am an outsider, so it's normal for her to be wary of me."

Bai Xiuxiu shook her head, not taking the matter to heart. However, her doubts gradually began to grow.

"Although I don't know the exact strength of that Nasita, the pressure emanating from her is no less than what I felt from Leviathan. Why would such a powerful person appear in the governor's mansion?"

"And Augustus, why is he also so concerned about the situation here?" Bai Xiuxiu's brows furrowed tightly, her doubts growing larger and larger like a snowball.

The root cause of all this was undoubtedly Nan Fusheng. However, Bai Xiuxiu had also carefully observed Nan Fusheng, and he was just an ordinary Soul Saint. In terms of strength, Bai Xiuxiu felt that she could easily control him.

Why would soul beasts like Augustus and Nasita pay so much attention to an ordinary human? What are they plotting?

"Forget it, let's finish Augustus's task first."

Shaking her head, Bai Xiuxiu shook off the thoughts in her mind. There was no point in thinking about it so much; she should focus on completing the task Augustus had entrusted to her.

……

Nighttime, in Bai Xiuxiu's room.

"Lord Augustus, I have successfully obtained Nan Fusheng's hair."

Bai Xiuxiu stood respectfully before a blood-red pupil, placing a few strands of short hair from her hand on the table.

These few strands of hair were taken from Nan Fusheng.

The process of taking the hair was not difficult. During dinner that night, she pretended to lose her footing and suddenly fell into Nan Fusheng's arms. Then she secretly attached her soul power to her finger and secretly cut it off.

Yes, it was cutting. Pulling her hair out directly would make Nan Fusheng feel it, so she chose to secretly cut it with her soul power.

"very good."

A vortex suddenly appeared in the blood-red pupils, absorbing the hair on the table.

After a long while, Augustus's voice rang out again.

"Next, I will give you a second task..."
