Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Angelic City, Angelic Temple Underground Prison.

Every city in the Douluo Continent has built an Angel Temple. In the eyes of the world, they represent the will of the Angel Empire and interpret glory and holiness. No one knows that a prison is hidden beneath the headquarters of the Angel Temple.

There was only one prisoner in the dungeon. The old man had gray hair, loose skin covered with spots, and his face was no longer as beautiful as it used to be. He was covered with hideous, centipede-like scars, and his gray-white eyes were empty and dull. He looked like a piece of rotten wood that was decaying on the outside and hollow on the inside.

The dungeon was dark and timeless. She couldn't remember how long she had been tortured by that venomous woman. Torture, humiliation, poison... the cruel methods were endless. From her initial fierce resistance to her later desperate pleas for mercy, she eventually became numb and silent.

The venomous woman didn't come for a long time, and the old man could feel that his exposed wounds were about to heal.

"Bang—"

The cell door was suddenly pushed open, and the old woman's eyes regained their color. She struggled to lift her head and saw a beautiful woman with graceful figure in the dim light. She walked gracefully towards her with enchanting steps, and her silver snake earrings sparkled exquisitely beside her short emerald green hair.

"You've come, Dugu Lin..."

The old man's voice was rough and hoarse, and his vocal cords were clearly damaged by external force.

"Besides me, who else in the world would want to see you, Tang Wutong?" Dugu Lin smiled charmingly.

"How are you going to torture me this time?"

Tang Wutong asked weakly, her face showing signs of aging after years of torment, while the other party had already become a first-level deity, the Poison God, whose captivating face and figure were almost unchanged from the past.

"Although I really want to continue playing with you, I'm pregnant..." Dugu Lin sighed softly. "My dear knew beforehand that it's a girl, with the Martial Soul Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor and the innate awakening of ultimate poison. We named her Ling Ling."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wutong's previously cloudy eyes widened instantly, and she discovered that Dugu Lin's lower abdomen was indeed slightly protruding, bearing the fruit of her love with Ling Bai.

Dugu Lin said with a slightly troubled expression, "I killed too many people during the Battle of Xingluo City. He was afraid that Lingling would suffer divine retribution in the future and that the poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King would backfire. So he insisted that I go to the Holy Evil King's Mansion to recuperate. He even got me a bottle of Water of Life from the Goddess of Life."

The venom of the blue-phosphorus snake will only allow me to live to twenty-five. I have also tormented you for twenty-five years. That's enough. I don't have time to waste my energy on you anymore. I need to figure out how to take good care of our daughter.

Lingling cannot be as bad as her mother. She must have a sound and complete personality and live a happy and fulfilling life.

So, Tang Wutong, you are free.

"Dugu Lin, you speak so eloquently." Tang Wutong laughed bitterly, "Ling Bai drained the divine blood from my body. Over the years, my skin, flesh, bones, internal organs... have all been corroded by your Azure Phosphorus Serpent King Poison. I am already a corpse. You want me to die in despair, don't you?"

"Think what you want."

Dugu Lin wore a cold smile, like a venomous snake that would not stop until it tormented someone until their Dao heart was shattered.

"Oh, by the way, your ex-boyfriend opened a grilled fish restaurant in Xingluo City..."

……

Star City.

The All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament is currently underway. The tournament is held every five years and is hosted in rotation by five core cities of the empire: Angel City, Shrek City, Star Luo City, Mingdu, and Lingdou City. This year, it is Star Luo City's turn.

After rounds of fierce battles, two teams emerged victorious in the finals: Imperial Royal Martial Soul Academy vs. Shrek Academy.

The two academies, renowned for their prestige, reached the peak of their final competition, with two descendants of the Angel God-King presiding over each side. Legend has it that on the day of the final, the Angel God-King himself would grace Star Luo City with his presence, causing the city to be overflowing with people, all eager to catch a glimpse of the empire's revered god, even if only from afar.

Thanks to the hype surrounding the civil war among the descendants of the Angel God King, during the Soul Master Competition, economic consumption in Star Luo City was more than ten times higher than usual, and merchants were all smiles, making a fortune.

On a commercial street in Xingluo City, a shop abandoned a hard-won business opportunity and put up a large sign that read "Closed for Business".

Haodong Grilled Fish.

The boss was a middle-aged man in his forties. He wasn't particularly handsome, but his deep blue eyes were exceptionally bright, and his full head of white hair didn't match his actual age.

Despite the sign indicating that the restaurant was closed, the owner moved a round table and seven chairs, set up an oven, and began grilling fish with great care. The aroma filled the entire commercial street.

Passersby were tempted by the aroma of grilled fish and planned to buy two to satisfy their cravings. However, the owner smiled and shook his head, explaining that he was not open for business today and was reuniting with old friends.

"Junior brother, your grilled fish skills are getting better and better. You can smell it from across the street."

A teasing voice rang out, and a middle-aged man with long blue-purple hair walked over with a big smile. Ignoring the smell of charcoal on the boss's clothes, the two embraced tightly.

"Senior Brother, please sit down!"

The owner warmly pulled the man to sit down, then went back to grilling fish while waiting for the others to arrive.

"Wow--"

Suddenly, gasps of amazement erupted from the street, and the crowd automatically parted to make way for two women who swayed gracefully as they approached. One was tall and shapely with slender, long legs and an alluring air about her; the other was mischievous and playful, with a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Nannan, Xiaoxiao!"

Beibei waved to them, and the two girls smiled and called out "Senior Brother".

Not long after the two women sat down, two more people came over: a bald, burly man and a middle-aged man dressed as an aristocrat. The burly man hugged the boss, while the aristocrat joked with Beibei.

The owner is a highly skilled cook; he not only grilled more than a dozen grass carp but also prepared a large table of dishes, all of which were delicious and visually appealing.

The six people sat around the round table, leaving one chair vacant in tacit agreement.

"Cheers!"

Six wine glasses clinked together, making a crisp, tinkling sound. Everyone's face lit up with smiles. They had agreed to have a gathering at Haodong Grilled Fish every year on this day.

"It's a pity that Junior Sister isn't here, so I don't know about the Angel God King..." Xu Sanshi muttered, looking at the empty chair.

Be careful what you say.

Bei Bei nudged Xu Sanshi's waist and subtly glanced in Huo Yuhao's direction. Xu Sanshi quickly chuckled.

"Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, you don't need to be so careful." Huo Yuhao's gaze was distant, as if he had returned to the day he ascended Nine Treasures City many years ago.

"Dong'er passed away, she passed away 25 years ago."

That day, Huo Yuhao met Tang Wutong and, upon hearing her hysterical words, he finally understood that Dong'er was dead, killed by the Sea God Tang San.

He didn't hate the Angel God King for imprisoning Tang Wutong, because she was one of the culprits of the beast tide, nor could he hate Tang San, after all, Tang San was the founder of the Tang Sect and Tang Wutong's biological father.

Huo Yuhao felt helpless about the ways of the world.

In the power struggle between the old and new kings, the weak former chosen one of destiny became a victim.

Outside Xingluo City, not far from his mother Huo Yun'er's grave, he erected a new tombstone with five blood-red characters engraved on it: Beloved Wang Dong'er.

The name "Haodong" in this grilled fish restaurant is also in memory of Wang Dong'er.

Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Clan died from his injuries. Half of his mother Huo Yun'er's blood feud was avenged, while the other half belonged to the Duchess and Dai Huabin.

After returning to Xingluo City, Huo Yuhao learned that the Duchess had died of illness. He used his simulated soul skill to sneak into the White Tiger Duke's mansion and killed Dai Huabin in one fell swoop, leaving no evidence. Dai Yueheng could only let the matter drop and gave his brother a proper burial.

For twenty-five years, Huo Yuhao has been running a grilled fish restaurant and guarding the graves of Huo Yun'er and Wang Dong'er. He has lost the motivation to cultivate, so his soul power has stagnated at the Soul Emperor level. The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm accompanies him, and the two of them live a peaceful and stable life.

Time flies, and the six people's circumstances have all changed.

Despite her unwavering affection, Beibei never gave up searching for Tang Ya, always holding onto a sliver of hope.

If Bei Bei knew that Tang Ya had been killed by Ling Bai, she would definitely be devastated and might even give up on herself, making a suicidal move like fighting the God King.

Tang Ya knew Bei Bei too well, and that's why her last wish was to keep it a secret from him forever, so that he could live on with hope.

He Caitou participated in the Angel Empire's counterattack war and saw Lin Jiayi twist Xu Tianran's neck and casually throw him into a pit for a hasty burial.

Driven by hatred, He Caitou dug up Xu Tianran's body and frantically destroyed it to appease the spirits of his family and relatives in heaven.

Having avenged his great enemy, He Caitou, now all alone, had no interest in cultivation. He opened a soul tool shop in Mingdu and occasionally returned to Shrek City to visit his teacher, Fan Yu.

Xu Sanshi is the Duke of Lingdou. Under the constant crying, tantrums, and threats of suicide by his mother Xue Lingxun, he was forced to give up pursuing Jiang Nannan and marry a noblewoman of equal social standing. They had two children in three years.

Jiang Nannan became the deputy temple master of the Angel Temple in her hometown. Her mother passed away ten years ago, and since then she has been dedicated to bringing happiness to the people.

On the day the Angel Empire awakens, Jiang Nannan would travel to the most remote and desolate village, where she was known as the Gentle Rabbit Goddess. The Angel Empire rewarded her actions and continuously promoted her good deeds.

Xiao Xiao enters the headquarters of the Angel Temple in Angel City. Her twin martial souls make her stand out. Dugu Lin intends to promote her to the second deputy temple master, so that she can manage the headquarters of the Angel Temple together with Nanmen Yun'er.

In the eyes of the Angel Empire and the Angel God King, the former leaders of the Tang Sect were too weak. The wheels of time keep turning forward, and as long as they live honestly, no one will deliberately target them.

"Uncle, that old lady keeps looking at you. She must be very hungry. Can you sell me a grilled fish?"

As the six were chatting and laughing, a little girl suddenly came over and tugged at Huo Yuhao's sleeve.

Huo Yuhao looked in the direction the little girl was pointing. The ragged old man was staring at them blankly, lost in thought.

"You're a kind child. You don't need the money; take it and give it to your grandma."

Huo Yuhao smiled and handed a grilled fish from the table to the little girl, wiped his palms clean with his apron, and patted her head.

"Thank you, Uncle."

The little girl skipped over and presented the grilled fish to the old man like a precious treasure.

"Grandma, you eat!"

"Th...thank you..."

Tang Wutong burst into tears in an instant. Huo Yuhao did not recognize her. Yes, Jiang Nannan and Xiao Xiao were still in their prime, but she was a emaciated old woman.

After twenty-five years apart, her hair color, eye color, bloodline, and aura had all changed drastically. How could Huo Yuhao recognize her?

She possessed all of Wang Dong'er's memories, like watching a TV series. The script was just a script, and as an outsider, she could never truly empathize with the characters.

With nowhere to go, Tang Wutong inexplicably boarded the Soul Guidance Train that brought her to Xingluo City. Looking at the six people laughing and joking around, all she wanted to do was cover her face and run away.

Five days later, at night, the body of an old man was found deep in an alley in Xingluo City, clutching a spoiled grilled fish tightly in his arms...

Outside Jialing City, at the Holy Evil King's Palace.

With peace and tranquility prevailing in the world, Ling Bai, in his leisure time, decided to make full use of the divine power of the Seven Eyes of Gods. He obtained some immortal herb seeds from Dugu Lin's Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye and began cultivating the immortal herbs himself.

The Angel Empress, unwilling to see Ling Bai suffer such hardship, ordered the construction of the Holy Evil King's Palace outside Jialing City.

The final match between the Imperial Royal Martial Soul Academy and Shrek Academy has concluded, with the former demonstrating superior skill, as Ling Xiao and Ling Yao defeated Ling Xian and Ling Ya.

"Xiao'er and Yao'er are amazing! Just as strong as you were back then!"

Above the sky, the first-level deity, the God of Mortal Affairs, Meng Hongchen, held Ling Bai's arm, her eyes filled with love.

Ling Bai chuckled and said, "They were born earlier and have deeper cultivation. Xiao'er is skilled in using the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the Death Prison Spider Emperor martial souls. She knows exactly when to assist her teammates and when to attack."

Yao'er's six-winged angel has evolved into an eight-winged angel, and in the future, she may transform into a twelve-winged eternal angel. Gu Yi has been the Angel Empress for more than 20 years, but recently she has been complaining about being tired. The day when Yao'er takes over is probably not far away.

Xian'er is the most worry-free child. She is just like her senior and eldest sister. She doesn't compete or fight, and she takes things calmly. Many boys from Shrek Academy pursue her, but Xian'er rejects them all equally.

Lingya still needs to be tempered. I never thought that Xiaotao would spoil the child so much, letting Lingya become a local tyrant at Shrek Academy.

For the next exchange student activity, Xiao Lingya must go to the Imperial Royal Academy of Technology for some training. Tell Brother Xiao that you don't need to worry about me.

"Okay!"

The two arrived at the Holy Evil King's Mansion. Meng Hongchen gradually moved closer to Ling Bai's body, her little face pitiful as she said:

"Ling Bai, I really want to have a child. My grandfather and brother keep urging me to..."

"Let's give it our all tonight."

Ling Bai scooped up Meng Hongchen in his arms and strode straight to the bedchamber. Her legs were voluptuous, her skin was fair and smooth, so tender it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it. Meng Hongchen offered her red lips, for she was a carnivore.

Just as he entered the bedroom, a fiery red figure slammed into Ling Bai with a rocket-shaped headbutt.

"Why can everyone else have children, but I can't!"

A first-level deity, the Flame God Wufeng.

Ling Bai glanced at her sideways, unmoved, and said, "You're the one who's accusing others first. It's clearly your problem between us."

Wu Feng pouted her red lips indignantly. Being close to the water tower, she had the advantage of getting the moon first. She had sneaked many meals with Ning Tian, ​​but her hobby was different. She liked to taste everything Ling Bai had.

"Get down here, this guy's mine tonight!"

Wu Feng looked at Meng Hongchen with displeasure.

"Why should it be like this? Don't you understand the principle of first come, first served?!"

The two women were at loggerheads, and it seemed like they were about to have a full-blown fight on the spot.

"First come, first served? What a joke!" Wu Feng puffed out her proud chest. "While I was having intimate moments with him, you were still secretly in love in bed!"

"So what!" Meng Hongchen retorted sarcastically. "What good was it if you came a few years earlier? Look at Xu Jiujiu, he arrived the latest, and his daughter Lingchen is already six years old!"

"You...you...you!"

Wu Feng broke through their defenses, ruthlessly pinning them down. Flames burned away their clothes as she seized the artifact first, her fair neck slightly raised.

Meng Hongchen was furious and refused to back down, while Ling Bai rested his hands behind his head, his eyes taking in the beautiful spring scenery.

"Don't pull me away! Let's be fair, one turn each!"

"That's more like it."

"Waaah... come over here and cooperate, he always deliberately doesn't give it to me!"

"whee!"

After a sleepless night, the two goddesses returned home early in the morning laden with good fortune, hoping to continue their bloodline.

"You've been hiding all night, come out now."

As Ling Bai finished speaking, the space rippled, and a silver figure appeared.

Seeing Ling Bai's ambiguous smile, Qianying was instantly furious and gritted her teeth, saying:

"Ling Bai, you're quite pleased with yourself, aren't you?"

I am pregnant!"
