Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 108 The Unpredictable Situation on the Mainland

The turmoil that occurred in Tiandou City has caused the Tiandou Empire's royal family to lose face. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Emperor Xueye had no choice but to use money from the national treasury to increase the soldiers' wages and spread the message of "the army and the people are one family" to appease the soldiers.

During this period, Xue Qinghe, played by Qian Renxue, took the opportunity to win over a large number of soldiers. Although he had not yet gained control of the army, he had gained a certain degree of influence.

Ye Liangchen's seemingly harsh yet insightful remark spread throughout mainland China, becoming a cautionary tale for married men.

"If you die, other men will sleep with your wife, use your money, and even beat your children, so that you won't have peace even in death."

Emperor Dai Tianfeng of the Star Luo Empire muttered these words, feeling that they were extremely damaging to the soldiers in the imperial army, especially since the two empires had been at war for a long time. These words could easily shake the soldiers' resolve and cause them to abandon the war.

"Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?"

"These words could easily incite the people to rise up against the imperial dynasty. This guy is really something."

"Your Majesty, if we could recruit such a talent, it would be a tremendous boost to our empire."

"Forget about it. I heard that young man has four Title Douluos by his side, three of whom possess 100,000-year spirit rings. If he comes, our empire's master will have to change his name. He's a very ambitious guy, and I'm sure no one can subdue him. The future of the continent is unpredictable!"

Dai Tianfeng and several confidants were discussing the commotion caused by the young man named Long Chen. At the same time, they were somewhat relieved that the guy was causing trouble in the Tian Dou Empire. If he had come to the Xing Luo Empire, who knows what kind of trouble he would have caused.

"That guy Long Chen is fierce enough to dare to fight Prince Xue Xing. I, Feng Xiaotian, admire him."

When Feng Xiaotian of Shenfeng Academy heard this news, he was extremely surprised. He remembered that the guy had said that he was just a support-type Soul Master, but now he had actually beaten Prince Xuexing. If he had done something like that, he could brag about it for the rest of his life.

"Brother, Long Chen really is a liar."

"Sister, don't spread this around. I heard he has four Title Douluos by his side. They are not people we can afford to offend."

"Understood! I wonder how Shui Bing'er ended up encountering such a monstrous talent?"

"So, do you still dare to challenge Long Chen now?"

"I dare! I, Huo Wu, love challenges..."

"Oh! Little sister! You can't beat her!"

Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, far away in Blazing City, were also discussing the commotion that Long Chen had caused in Heaven Dou City. A month ago, the group had eaten together in Blazing City and hadn't realized that he was a violent maniac. But now he dared to slap the face of the Heaven Dou royal family. He was truly audacious.

In the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, Emperor Xueye, in an attempt to appease the soldiers, spent 800 million gold soul coins from the national treasury, which angered him so much that he smashed more than a dozen teacups.

"Slap...slap...slap...slap..."

"Click...click...click..."

"Father, calm down."

Xue Qinghe pretended to comfort him from the side, thinking to himself that the angrier you are, the happier I am. It would be best if I could make you so angry that you die.

"Hmph! That brat spent 800 million gold soul coins just to settle this matter with a few words. It's infuriating!"

"Lan Chen dared to hit my son right under my nose, and Long Chen actually dared to hit my younger brother, causing chaos in the Imperial Army. Where did these two teenagers come from? How come they are both so arrogant?"

"Qinghe, have you found out anything about Long Chen's background? This person is too dangerous for the Empire."

Emperor Xueye found Long Chen, this young man, too terrifying, and decided to send assassins to secretly eliminate him.

"Father, I don't know who he is. I even think his identity is fake."

Looking at Xue Ye's expression, Xue Qinghe, played by Qian Renxue, guessed what the other party wanted to do. She thought to herself, "Even if I knew, I would never tell you! The other party is still related to my mother, so he is practically one of us."

Qian Renxue knew that her mother had always liked Yu Xiaogang from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. That guy was a useless Soul Master, which Qian Renxue felt was a waste. She often teased Bibi Dong for having bad taste, liking a good-for-nothing and making others laugh at her.

Bibi Dong seems to have changed now, which is something Qian Renxue likes to see. It's just a question of what the relationship is between that boy named Long Chen and Bibi Dong.

The next moment, Qian Renxue thought: Could it be that my mother is planning to have an older woman marry a younger man? If that's the case, then no way! Such an outstanding young man should be left to me!

The turmoil caused by Lan Chen and Long Chen has benefited Qian Renxue the most. Now, the future of the Tian Dou Empire is almost hers. As long as she can completely control the army, she will be set.

"Send someone to investigate secretly and then eliminate that brat, otherwise our empire could be destroyed at any time."

"Father, the other side has four Title Douluos protecting them. If we provoke them, they might come straight to our door. What will we use to stop them?"

Seeing that Emperor Xueye was preparing to send assassins to eliminate Long Chen, Qian Renxue pretended to give him a reminder.

"Send out assassins, no matter the cost, we must eliminate him. Send someone to contact Salas and see how the Spirit Hall reacts. If necessary, we can pay the Spirit Hall to take action."

"Alright! Your son will make the arrangements."

Seeing that Emperor Xueye had made up his mind, Qianrenxue had no choice but to pretend to agree.

"Old fox, you think you can kill Long Chen with our methods? Dream on!"

Qian Renxue returned to her residence, pondering that she needed to find an opportunity to go back to the Spirit Hall and ask her mother about Long Chen's identity. She was sure her mother knew.

Bibi Dong's personality has changed drastically, and Qian Renxue is eager to know what happened.

The things Long Chen did in Tiandou City swept across the continent like a tornado, leaving many major sects feeling confused about the future of the entire continent.

Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School witnessed Long Chen's methods in Tian Dou City. He believed that this person was more dangerous than Pope Bibi Dong. With just the sentence "Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?", he caused chaos in the army of the Tian Dou Empire. Not just anyone would dare to say such a thing.

……

Ye Liangchen's trip to Tiandou City was a double success. He not only made money but also defeated Prince Xuexing. The group chatted and laughed as they enjoyed the scenery along the way. They traveled slowly, and it took them seven or eight days to leisurely return to Tianshui Academy, covering a distance of over a thousand kilometers.

"That brat always makes a huge commotion whenever he goes out, making us worry to death at home."

That evening, everyone gathered at Mingyue Manor next to Tianshui Academy. Shui Lingfeng listened to her daughter recount the events of the Tian Dou trip and was both amused and exasperated.

"Xiao Chen, you hit Xue Xing and disrupted the morale of the army. I reckon that old man Xue Ye will send assassins to deal with you."

"The imperial family probably still harbors resentment towards the departure of our Ye family and Senior Dugu."

Dugu Bo and Ye Suling were a little worried about this troublesome little guy.

"Senior's worries are a bit unnecessary. The Heaven Dou Royal Family has no one to rely on and can't send out many people."

"Besides, we haven't shown our faces and we're using aliases, so they don't know who we are."

"Those things were all done by Long Chen, what does it have to do with me, Ye Liangchen?"

Ye Liangchen waved his hand dismissively, not taking the Heavenly Dou Royal Family to heart. Even if Emperor Xueye sent assassins, he was capable of dealing with them.

Aside from the possibility that Qian Renxue might send people from the Spirit Hall to investigate her, she probably won't do that; she is the biggest beneficiary of this incident.

"I knew you were clever. You used several aliases along the way and caused all sorts of big incidents. You should do less of this kind of thing in the future."

Shui Lanxin reminded the little guy, but now that Bibi Dong was standing behind him, there was no need to worry so much.

"Oh no, Brother Chen, Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian have seen my and Sister Bing'er's true faces."

"Little Chen, I used my real name back then, will they tell anyone?"

At this moment, Shui Bing'er and the kitten suddenly remembered the three people they had met in Blazing Fire City.

"Sister, I feel like you're very unreliable. You went out with Xiao Chen, but you didn't learn a single thing about the ways of the world," Shui Yue'er said, pouting.

"When did you three encounter the students from those two major elemental academies?" Shui Lanxin stared at Ye Liangchen.

"Mother, it's like this, when we passed through Blazing City..."

Shui Bing'er had no choice but to tell everyone what the three of them had encountered in Blazing Fire City.

"I see, but there's no need to worry."

Shui Lanxin is no longer afraid of anything, since she has the strength to deal with everything.

"My pills fetched a total of 3800 million gold soul coins at auction this time, so we're not worried about money anymore."

"Aunt Lan, please keep this money safe. You can manage it as you see fit."

Ye Liangchen tossed the pile of gold soul coins to Shui Lanxin, since building a sect required a lot of money.

"3800 million?"

Dugu Bo, Ye Suling, and the others looked at the pile of gold soul cards and felt it was a bit unreal.

"Hehe...! Even though I am a Title Douluo, I'm afraid I could never earn that much in my entire life."

"Grandpa, it's not just that I'm afraid, it's absolutely impossible. You've been a supporter of the Heavenly Dou Empire for so many years, and you've only earned two or three million."

"Yanyan, can't you give your grandpa a little face? You've exposed all my secrets."

"Hahaha...! Senior Dugu, we can't compare to Xiao Chen..."

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, Ye Liangchen returned to Jingxian Villa.

Shui Lingfeng and Su Lin also came along, and asked the Shui Lanxin sisters what other people they had encountered in Tiandou City.

"Mother, we've encountered Bibi Dong this time."

"You probably wouldn't believe it! The woman we used to be most afraid of has actually taken Xiao Chen as her godson."

The Shui Lanxin sisters told everyone about Bibi Dong recognizing the little guy as her godson.

"My God! This is unbelievable!"

"Hehe...! That's good now."

"Xiao Chen, that's impressive! You actually managed to subdue the powerful female pope."

Shui Lingfeng, Su Lin, and Shui Yue'er looked at Ye Liangchen with smiles on their faces, revealing meaningful expressions.

"What kind of looks are you giving me? The Pope is a level 98 Title Douluo. She insists on being my godmother, what can I do?"

Ye Liangchen looked at these people and shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "I'm saving someone! You wouldn't understand."

"Hiss! Pope Bibi Dong is actually a level 98 Title Douluo, that's terrifying."

Shui Lingfeng and Su Lin exchanged a glance. Although they were all titled Douluo now, the other party was level 98, while the strongest on their side was only level 97, far inferior to that woman.

"Mother! Is Xiaochen's godmother a decent person?" Shuiyue asked mischievously, tilting her head.

"Moon, what are you thinking about?" Shui Bing'er grabbed Shui Yue'er, telling her to stop being silly.

"Xiao Chen, tell your teacher quickly, what does that female pope look like? I heard she's the most beautiful person on the entire continent, but I've never seen her before!"

Su Lin took Ye Liangchen's hand and asked him about the female pope.

"Su Lin! Why are you so gossipy?"

"Bibi Dong said she will come to see Xiao Chen later, and you will see her then."

Shui Lanxin stopped Su Lin from gossiping. This woman is so old, yet she's still so unreliable.

"Alright! We'll talk about the future later. It's a good thing that Bibi Dong became Xiao Chen's godmother. This way, we can focus on developing our own power."

"It's getting late, and the little guy must be tired from the long journey, so let's not disturb him while he rests."

Shui Lingfeng called to the girls and they left Jingxian Manor.
