Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Sun and Moon Empire, Ming Capital Imperial Palace.

Xu Tianran, clad in a humanoid soul-guided device, paced anxiously back and forth in the imperial palace hall, while the silent civil and military officials sat below. The fate of the Sun Moon Empire rested entirely on Xu Zhanlong's shoulders, and the Sun Moon Emperor was eager to know the outcome of the battle.

Report—

"Your Majesty, Risheng City has fallen, and General Xu Zhanlong has sacrificed his life for his country!"

A soldier from the Sun Moon Empire, dressed as a commoner, stumbled into the palace. Upon seeing Xu Tianran, he trembled as he presented the battle report.

Xu Tianran's eyes narrowed sharply. His humanoid soul tool instantly moved in front of the soldier, grabbed his shirt, and asked coldly:

"While the Imperial Uncle is dead, several Title Douluos of the Angel Empire have fallen, especially the Holy Evil Douluo—is he truly dead?"

In his agitated state, Xu Tianran couldn't even control his Title Douluo aura. The powerful destructive aura of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon made the soldiers almost breathless, and he struggled to say:

"It seems that Saint Evil Douluo has mastered the power of spacetime, and General Xu's backup plan failed to cause any casualties to the Angel Empire."

The soldiers of Sunrise City were either killed or surrendered. The Angel Empire was taking over the city completely, and the Angel Empress ordered that no civilians be harmed. That's how I was able to disguise myself as a civilian and escape in the chaos..."

"waste!"

Xu Tianran kicked the soldier over, and without holding back, the soldier died a violent death in the court. The civil and military officials became even more terrified, fearing that they would be executed by the desperate emperor.

Jing Hongchen was the head of all officials, and at this moment, only the powerful and influential Master of Mingde Hall dared to step forward and say:

"Your Majesty, there are no more fortified cities between Sunrise City and Mingdu. Once the Angel Empire has finished its reorganization, its army will be able to reach Mingdu that very night. Mingdu has not built any city walls. I believe we should consider our next move."

To fight or to surrender.

"Surrender? I am the Emperor of this Empire, I will never surrender!"

Xu Tianran's eyes were bloodshot. His flawless plan to destroy the empire had failed completely. He knew that the Angel Empire would never let him go, and suddenly, a wicked thought arose in his mind:

"My beloved ministers, Mingdu has only one remaining Soul Master Corps. Show the indomitable spirit of the Empire and charge out of Mingdu with me!"

Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials of the Sun Moon Empire were all shaken. Now, Mingdu was like a delicious mousse cake, waiting for the Angel Empire to devour it. Many of them had already resigned themselves to their fate, but Xu Tianran had become unusually frantic, determined to drag them all down with him to the underworld!

With a sharp gaze sweeping over the group of ministers, Xu Tianran sneered, "My dear ministers, you are unwilling? It's alright, I will help you."

Two dark figures silently approached Xu Tianran's side, their humanoid soul tools flashing with intense light. They were left and right shadow guards, Shadow Douluo Xue Chen and Dark Douluo Gu Xin!

"Buzz—"

Just as Xu Tianran thought the situation was settled, several figures suddenly descended from the sky. They were also humanoid soul tools, but their designs were completely different from the Shadow Guards. Their gold and red breastplates were engraved with the exclusive symbol of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. There were dozens of them, led by two level nine soul masters, and their dark cannons were aimed at Xu Tianran and the two Shadow Guards.

The two titled Douluo, utterly loyal, quickly stood guard in front of Xu Tianran. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was equivalent to Jing Hongchen; seeing the Sun Moon Empire's number one warrior betray them, Xu Tianran went completely mad. His terrifying, predatory gaze fixed on the round and chubby Mingde Hall Master. If looks could kill, Jing Hongchen would have died eight hundred times over.

Looking at Xu Tianran, who was gritting his teeth, Jing Hongchen said smugly, "Those who know when to yield are the heroes. Your Majesty should not resist stubbornly."

By the way, Your Majesty, please don't think about the Mingdu Soul Master Corps outside the palace. The corps leader was once a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. I personally guided his studies and helped him enter the military.

"Jiayi, let's get started."

"Yes, Master!"

One of the ninth-level Soul Masters was Lin Jiayi, the Dean of Studies at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. He received Jing Hongchen's order, and the palace hall flashed with intense light as artillery fire instantly engulfed Shadow Douluo and Dark Douluo.

As the aftershocks gradually subsided, Xu Tianran was severely injured. The dignified ruler of a country lay on the ground like a dead dog, yet he was still alive, thanks to the numerous level-nine defensive soul tools on his body. His bloodied face was filled with hatred.

Jing Hongchen effortlessly controlled the court, waving his hand and saying, "Take him with you, and head out of the city to welcome the Angel Empire!"

All the civil and military officials of the Sun Moon Empire obeyed. Lin Jiayi captured Xu Tianran, and everyone gave up resistance, waiting for the Angel Empire to arrive thirty miles away from Mingdu.

As the sun sets, golden rays pierce the sky and pour down from the clouds. The distant torrents continue to approach Mingdu. Above, the brilliant wings of angels unfold, and Jing Hongchen can't help but smile.

Outside Xingluo City, Ling Bai promised that he would remain the Dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the Master of Mingde Hall, while his granddaughter Meng Hongchen would take over as the Master of the Mingdu Angel Temple.

With the Angel Empire unifying the two continents, the power of the Hongchen family not only did not weaken but actually increased. Jing Hongchen was a smart man and understood how to make the right choice.

"We respectfully welcome the Angel Empire!"

All the civil and military officials bowed and kowtowed to the six-winged angel, signifying the surrender of the Sun and Moon Empire and its acceptance of the Angel Empire's complete transformation.

"Long time no see, Master of the Red Dust Hall still retains his charm."

Ling Bai landed on the ground, smiling and exchanging pleasantries with Jing Hongchen, quite satisfied with his actions.

"The Holy Evil Douluo is kind and tolerant; I will certainly live up to your trust."

Jing Hongchen bowed respectfully. The two were worlds apart in status. Ling Bai was the Holy Evil Douluo, standing at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent, a faith enshrined in the laws of the Angel Empire, while he was merely a subordinate trying to make a living, subject to Ling Bai's whims.

"Let's go into town."

Ling Bai glanced indifferently at Xu Tianran, who was half-dead in Lin Jiayi's hands, and flew into the sky again.

Lin Jiayi scratched his head blankly. Jing Hongchen slapped him with exasperation and whispered:

"What are you standing there for? Didn't you understand what Saint Evil Douluo meant? Hurry up and get rid of him!"

"oh oh!"

Lin Jiayi responded twice, found a secluded spot to finish off Xu Tianran, and casually covered the body with some soil.

Xu Tianran, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was buried outside the capital city of Ming, where he died with his eyes wide open in discontent.

After quickly settling things off with Xu Tianran, Lin Jiayi flew into the Angel Empire Legion with a smile, reuniting with his sister, the Demon Dragon Douluo Lin Jiaran.

At this moment, Lin Jiayi was extremely grateful for Lin Jiaran's choice back then. Three years have passed, and Lin Jiayi has remained in the same position as the college's dean of students.

Lin Jiaran, however, became the head of the Soul Guidance Hall of the Angel Royal Family, the founder of the Angel Empire's Soul Guidance Devices, holding a high position and deeply valued by the Empress. Her personal life was equally happy and fulfilling; she accepted the marriage proposal of the Vice Hall Master, Xuan Ziwen, and the two worked together to contribute to the advancement of Soul Guidance Technology.

At the front of the army, Ling Bai and Jing Hongchen discussed the future of the Sun Moon Empire.

"Master of the Red Dust Hall, with the Angel Empire unifying the continent, the name Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is no longer appropriate."

"What are Saint Evil Douluo planning?" Jing Hongchen asked cautiously.

"The Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has been renamed the Imperial Royal Technology Academy, and the Mingde Hall has been renamed the Hongchen Hall. Your position remains unchanged, and you will continue to serve as both Dean and Hall Master."

"This...this...this..."

Jing Hongchen was overjoyed and began to dance with his short, chubby limbs, creating a comical contrast.

Mingde Hall was named in memory of Kong Deming, the father of soul tools, while the name change to Hongchen Hall was to ensure that future generations would remember the Hongchen family. This was an unparalleled honor for Jing Hongchen himself and the entire Hongchen family!

"Holy Evil Douluo, the Red Dust Family is willing to go through fire and water for the Angelic Royal Family, without hesitation!"

At this moment, Jing Hongchen completely devoted himself to the Angel Empire, and couldn't help but imagine the bright future of the Hongchen family. Meng Hongchen ascended to the position of the Mingdu Angel Temple, and Xiao Hongchen inherited her position; the brother and sister duo led the Hongchen family to its peak!

Jing Hongchen's joy was palpable. Ling Bai smiled and realized that the difficulty of gaining the faith of the Sun Moon Empire far exceeded that of the three great empires.

Elevating Jing Hongchen to a higher position and maintaining her status serves two purposes: first, to appease the people and set an example; and second, to leverage Jing Hongchen's influence to promote the Angel Empire, while simultaneously aligning with the series of policies formulated by Ye Guyi.

For example, free awakening of martial souls, the empire providing the first soul ring, soul masters under the age of twenty with one to three soul rings receiving subsidies from the Angel Temple, and encouragement of intermarriage between the two countries...

With a multi-pronged approach, the continents that have been locked in a standoff for thousands of years will gradually merge and eventually become indistinguishable.

The Angel Empire entered Mingdu without hindrance. Jing Hongchen arranged accommodations for the high-ranking officials of the empire, and then invited Ling Bai to visit the Hongchen family's ancestral home, ostensibly to express his gratitude to the Holy Evil Douluo.

The ancestral home of the Hongchen family has a history of over a thousand years. Thanks to the characteristics of the three-legged golden toad, a metal controller, each generation of Hongchen descendants has been an important force in the Sun Moon Empire.

In the ancestral home of the Hongchen family, Jing Hongchen set up a banquet, with various specialties of the Sun Moon Empire being served in a continuous stream. When Ling Bai met Xiao Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen made no attempt to be polite and immediately began to pour out his grievances.

In the final of the Soul Master Competition, the Angel Temple simply left, leaving the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy waiting foolishly for a whole day. Then, the referee handed them a championship trophy, a unique event in history, as they won the championship because their opponent forfeited.

A championship doesn't always represent honor. The masses have discerning eyes; everyone knows that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has no chance against the Angel Temple. This championship is one that no one else wants.

Halfway through the banquet, Ling Bai remembered someone and asked, "Why didn't Meng come?"

Xiao Hongchen looked around guiltily: "You came so suddenly. Meng is getting ready. Don't worry about her!"

Hey, that golden frog leg looks good, you should try it!

Ling Bai was amazed by the clumsy way the topic was shifted, but he understood the art of leaving things unsaid and did not expose Xiao Hongchen on the spot.

After the banquet ended and the night deepened, Xiao Hongchen insisted that Ling Bai stay overnight at the Hongchen family's ancestral home. Perhaps he was quite drunk, for he held Ling Bai's hand tightly, his eyes brimming with tears, and said:

"Brother-in-law, Xiao Meng is really dreaming. She's over twenty and still doesn't have a boyfriend. She always says that she's met the best one and that she can't feel anything for anyone else!"

Come on, we've arrived!

The two entered a dimly lit room with a rather somber atmosphere. The walls were decorated with a painting of a three-legged toad and an ingeniously designed soul-guided pendulum, exuding an understated elegance.

Xiao Hongchen said meaningfully, "Brother-in-law, this room has been renovated urgently. The sink is the right height, the bathroom is extra large, and two handles have been installed."

The balcony has a large floor-to-ceiling window, the ceiling is fitted with a mirror, the kitchen has a non-slip mat, and the sofa is waterproof.

Get some rest, goodnight.

Ling Bai felt increasingly uneasy as he listened. Those things didn't seem like legitimate things at all. Meanwhile, Xiao Hongchen had already slipped away and made a hasty retreat.

Pushing open the bedroom door, starlight streamed through the window and fell on the luxurious round bed. Ling Bai was slightly stunned. A beautiful woman was half-lying on the bed.

Her smooth, moon-like eyebrows were slightly raised, her face was smooth and beautiful, and her lips were as red as rouge, exuding charm and allure.

Her body was sexy and full, and her fair and flawless skin, along with the beads of sweat on her surface, created a visually alluring effect.

To this, Ling Bai could only say, "Oh, so you guys sent Meng Hongchen to my bed?"

"whee!"

Meng Hongchen looked at Ling Bai, gently licking her red lips, looking so unrestrained and alluring. As an incurable person obsessed with good looks, she fell in love with Ling Bai at first sight during the first Soul Master Competition. His handsome face was breathtaking, his profile was as sharp as a craft knife, and his long legs were the envy of her.

When the Angel Empire attacked the Sun Moon Empire, Jing Hongchen acted as an inside agent, and Meng Hongchen was the happiest of them all. So she begged her grandfather and brother to grant her wish.

Xiao Hongchen simply wanted his sister to be happy, and Ling Bai was the only brother-in-law he acknowledged, so he readily agreed.

Jing Hongchen wasn't that naive. If Meng Hongchen could establish a close relationship with Ling Bai, even if she couldn't become his wife, being a concubine would be enough to maintain the glory of the Hongchen family.

Meng Hongchen had clearly dressed herself up carefully, wearing bright, textured black stockings with lace trim that reached her upper thighs. Her petite, delicate feet were tightly encased in the black stockings, and the tightness of the stockings accentuated the perfect lines of her plump, beautiful legs.

Finally, when her prey entered the house, Meng Hongchen poked out her beautiful feet, putting on sexy and alluring bright red high heels. The stiletto heels, several centimeters high, made her height comparable to Ling Bai's.

She deliberately pulled her dress off her sexy shoulders, revealing her fair and smooth skin. Underneath, she wore a pure black bra, which made her skin appear even whiter. Her figure was mature and shapely, with exaggeratedly prominent cleavage.

Her warm, delicate body pressed close to her beloved, and once again she inhaled that intoxicating scent. Meng Hongchen's eyes became somewhat hazy.

"Ling Bai, thank you for sparing Grandpa in Star Luo City, thank you for protecting the Hongchen family. The Angel Empire has unified the two continents, you must be very happy."

"Today may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to spend this night with you. Don't think about anything else, just enjoy yourself..."

Meng Hongchen nestled against Ling Bai's chest, her body unconsciously warming up. She abandoned all pretense of modesty, seeking only a night of pleasure to fulfill a dream she had cherished for years.

She felt a hand climb up her back and easily untie the restraints on her body.

A huge surprise flooded her mind. Meng Hongchen put her arms around Ling Bai's head and offered her red lips without hesitation. But the inexperienced girl was no match for the veteran driver. She was firmly in control of the rhythm and was carried into the bathroom in a daze.

Accompanied by the gentle sound of running water in the bathroom, a graceful figure was projected onto the floor-to-ceiling glass window, displaying an incredibly alluring curve… (End of Chapter)
