Douluo Continent: Twin Golden and Silver Dragons Shock Bibi Dong

Emotionally and intuitively, their minds were screaming wildly: Could a Soul Master with a normal mind really come up with such an extreme operation that completely disregards their own life?!

"You call this 'using your brain'? You're clearly just asking for trouble!"

Ning Rongrong was the first to react, her face turning pale with anger. She no longer cared about her ladylike image, grabbed Xuan Hao's ear, and scolded him through gritted teeth, "Do you know how terrifying this operation sounds?! You're putting two world-destroying forces into extreme collisions on your own body and calling it a 'buffer airbag'?!"

"If even the slightest, most minute, or millisecond-longest accident or mistake were to occur, it would mean utter mutual destruction!"

Chapter 244 Creating Fear and Deterrence

……

Xiao Wu was also anxiously stamping her feet, her eyes reddening, and she echoed, "That's right, brother! You just said it yourself, that's detonating the Invincible Body in a fraction of a second and then instantly teleporting! What if? What if your soul power was a beat slower at the time? What if you couldn't teleport away successfully just before the Golden Dragon Invincible Body completely shattered and the Qi and Blood Bomb exploded?!"

"If that were really the case..."

Ye Lingling, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly, her voice trembling slightly, followed Xiao Wu's words and recounted the most terrifying consequence: "In that instant, in order to create this bomb, your vital energy had already been completely drained. A person with depleted vital energy and no means of defense would have to use their own flesh and blood to bear the full impact of the core explosion zone of this 'vital energy nuclear bomb' that you created with your own hands!"

Ye Lingling stared intently at Xuan Hao's still smiling face, tears welling up in her eyes: "If it really comes to that... what's the difference between your ingenious operation and just falling naked from tens of thousands of meters into the ground?! Do you really want us to watch you blow yourself into a cloud of blood mist before you're satisfied?!"

Looking at the group of girls who he usually protected under his wing, but who were now so worried about him that they were about to cry, Xuan Hao's smug expression gradually faded.

He let Ning Rongrong pull his ear without resisting, only sighing helplessly, his eyes softening.

"Ouch, be gentle, be gentle, your ear is going to fall off..."

Xuan Hao took Ning Rongrong's small hand, which had turned slightly white from the effort, and gently pulled her into his arms. He patted her back, then turned to look at Xiao Wu and the others, whose eyes were red-rimmed, his tone both comforting and earnest:

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, alright? Stop scaring yourselves."

"Who am I, Xuan Hao? I am the most fearless troublemaker on the entire continent. If I didn't have an absolute certainty of one million percent, how could I possibly gamble my life on a probability of one in a thousand seconds?"

Xuan Hao gently pinched Xiao Wu's nose and comforted her with a smile, "Since I dare to play like this, the timing of this kind of extreme teleportation is as instinctive to me as eating and drinking. Besides, there was that stubborn old man Yu Yuanzhen down there to protect me. Even if there was a slight deviation, he would be the one to be smashed into mincemeat first, and I would only suffer some superficial injuries. I won't die."

Hearing this convincing yet undeniably confident reassurance, the girls' expressions softened slightly, but they still felt a lingering fear of his reckless, high-risk behavior.

Seeing the girls' still pale faces and lingering fear in their eyes, Xuan Hao put away his joking thoughts and said seriously, "Don't worry, I didn't just use this move on a whim. I know what I'm doing, and I only do it if it's within the absolute limits of my own body and soul power."

"Don't you know me? I'm not the kind of stubborn person who would fight to the death. If I really run into a tough opponent I can't beat, I promise I'll run away as fast as a rabbit."

"Besides, I have so many beautiful young ladies around me. I haven't even had a chance to properly enjoy this great fortune of women yet. If I were to play myself to death like this, wouldn't I be losing out big time?"

"You—! You scoundrel!"

"You big pervert! I'm talking to you seriously!"

Hearing Xuan Hao's frivolous teasing remark, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and the others, who had been on edge, instantly lost their composure, their faces flushing red with embarrassment. They glared at him, annoyed. They were practically in tears with worry; how could this guy still have the nerve to spout such nonsense!

"I'm very serious, okay?" Xuan Hao spread his hands confidently. "I'm most afraid of dying. I haven't lived enough yet, so I will never let anything happen to me easily."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about these unpleasant things." Xuan Hao abruptly changed the subject, stretching out with a big yawn. "Since I went into seclusion at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, several months have passed in the blink of an eye. We haven't had a proper get-together in ages. Come on, let's go have a big meal to treat ourselves, and then go back to the hotel for a few days of rest!"

Everyone was speechless at Xuan Hao's shameless behavior of forcibly changing the subject at the slightest disagreement, but seeing that he looked really tired, they had no choice but to follow his lead and head towards the city.

……

In the evening, the group returned to the hotel.

As soon as he entered the room, Xuan Hao decisively used the excuse that "I used all my powerful moves today and my qi and blood are severely depleted, so I must go into seclusion and rest for a few days" to ruthlessly block Xiao Wu, Rong Rong, and a group of girls with different thoughts from entering the room. He then slipped into the room and locked the door.

However, it was already past midnight.

With a faint silver light flashing, the space inside the room slightly distorted, and Na'er, as if unaffected by any physical obstacles, silently slipped into Xuan Hao's room.

At this moment, Xuan Hao was leaning against the headboard with his eyes closed, resting. Sensing the familiar presence, he didn't even open his eyes, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"I knew you would follow."

Na'er sat down by the bed, her clear purple eyes fixed on Xuan Hao, her tone carrying an unwavering certainty: "Brother, are you plotting something bad?"

"Hmm? Why do you say that?" Xuan Hao opened his eyes and raised an eyebrow.

“Although you like to create big scenes, you’ve never been the kind of person who likes to cause indiscriminate killings or involve innocent people.” Na’er pointed out the problem incisively. “Today at the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, those extreme moves that were like a natural disaster falling to earth and could level an area of ​​thousands of meters in a short time were not in line with your usual fighting style and personality.”

Na'er's gaze sharpened: "Moreover, I can tell that this was definitely not the first time you conceived of that attack method. Before today's actual combat, you must have mentally rehearsed and calculated it countless times. Such a dangerous and precise complex operation could not possibly be an impulsive act on a whim!"

"Brother, what exactly are you trying to do by going to all this trouble to create such a commotion?"

Faced with Na'er's soul-searching scrutiny and suspicion, Xuan Hao gave a helpless bitter smile and reached out to ruffle her long silver hair.

"You can't hide anything from me after all."

Xuan Hao sighed, abandoning his usual nonchalant attitude, and his eyes became deep: "I have no choice. If I don't come up with some kind of wide-range destructive move, those arrogant guys on the continent won't really be afraid of me."

"Think about it, why are people so wary of Dugu Bo?"

"It's all because his poison is a powerful weapon against multiple targets! If that old poison master is really pushed to the limit, he has the ability to make an entire city perish with him, whether it's the two great empires or the three upper sects."

"And then there's Tang Hao. Why does everyone turn pale at the mere mention of the name 'Haotian Douluo'?"

"It's not just because that guy dared to kill even the Pope of the Spirit Hall back then, but also because the destructive power of the Clear Sky True Body is too outrageous! If he really goes berserk, once he activates the Spirit True Body and unleashes his Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique without any restraint, he'll be a ruthless walking calamity!"

"In this world, the majority of people are petty and fear power, not virtue. I have a long road ahead of me, and to avoid those annoying, persistent probing and troubles, I must demonstrate enough strategic deterrence to overturn the chessboard and make them fear me from the bottom of their hearts."

Xuan Hao turned to look at the night view of Tian Dou City outside the window, "Today, I dared to play 'Meteor Fall' so recklessly in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's home. After spreading this news..."

"Guess what, if anyone tries to scheme against me again, who would dare to gamble with the lives of their entire family and sect... betting that I might run over the imperial cities of the two great empires tomorrow, or even bring about an undefendable catastrophe right at their own doorstep?"

Chapter 245 Qian Renxue Arrives

……

For the next few days, Xuan Hao indeed did as he said, staying indoors and lying obediently in the hotel's luxury suite like a useless person.

While the power of that "Qi and Blood Bomb" was indeed terrifying, the squeezing and consumption of one's own Qi and Blood was also extremely terrifying.

That attack almost drained all of his inner strength. After each use, he had to undergo a considerable period of quiet recuperation before his depleted energy could be replenished.

During this period of weakness, he not only couldn't fight with people casually, but even slightly strenuous exercise would make him feel short of breath.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were well aware of this, so they all tacitly refrained from wandering around these past few days and instead stayed obediently in the hotel to accompany him as he recuperated.

However, although they couldn't go out and play, these clever and mischievous girls saw this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Normally, Xuan Hao, relying on his thick skin and boundless energy, was no match for this troublesome devil, even when the women teamed up in those indescribable "little games," and they were always driven to beg for mercy. But now... Xuan Hao was suffering from both qi and blood deficiency, and was in an unprecedentedly weak state.

This is called the shift in offense and defense!

So, a couple of days ago, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu would occasionally smirk and huddle by the bedside, taking the opportunity to play some "exciting" little games with Xuan Hao, ostensibly to help him "improve blood circulation and remove blood stasis".

However, after playing only a few times, Na'er, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, couldn't stand it anymore.

When Na'er noticed Xuan Hao's slightly darkened eyes and his empty appearance as if his soul had been drained, she immediately put on a stern face and mercilessly stopped these reckless little devils, sternly warning them not to take advantage of him and really "ruin" their brother!

Everyone was already feeling sorry for Xuan Hao, and they all knew their limits. When Na'er stopped them, they naturally stopped and didn't force their way out.

Moreover, because they were really worried that Xuanhao's body, which was weak and deficient in qi and blood, couldn't handle it, they had been deliberately keeping a "safe distance" from Xuanhao in the past few days, not only when they climbed into his bed at night to sneak around, but also when they chatted together during the day, so as not to accidentally cause trouble and make Xuanhao uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, Xuan Hao's grand return to Tiandou City and the earth-shattering news of the "earthquake" he caused at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect that nearly razed the sect to the ground quickly reached the Crown Prince's residence and Qian Renxue's ears.

When Qian Renxue learned that Xuan Hao had gone to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan of the three upper sects without saying a word and caused a scene, and that after returning he had locked himself in the hotel like a turtle and refused to go out, she immediately realized with her intelligence that this bastard must have used some forbidden methods and had a serious problem with his body!

Without saying a word, Qian Renxue immediately put aside all her official duties and rushed over in a hurry.

As evening approached, the sun began to set.

Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and their group were all forcibly taken by Dugu Yan to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena for practical training under Xuan Hao's arrangement. In the entire luxury suite, only Xuan Hao remained, lying alone on the bed, lifeless.

Before the girls left, they had planned to leave one of them behind to take care of his meals.

But they looked at each other and thought to themselves: if someone were really left alone in a room with Xuan Hao, that big pervert, even if he was sick, he definitely wouldn't be able to behave himself!

For Xuanhao's sake, they had no choice but to harden their hearts and leave him alone in the hotel to fend for himself.

"Squeak-"

The door was pushed open.

When Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, hurriedly entered the bedroom, she saw Xuan Hao's pale lips, bloodless appearance, and weak, blood-deficient look. Her gentle and refined princely face instantly broke down, and her expression turned extremely ugly.

"What are you doing?!"

Qian Renxue strode to the bedside, grabbed Xuan Hao's wrist and examined it, her voice filled with undisguised shock, anger, and heartache, "How did you manage to make yourself look like this, neither human nor ghost?!"

"Hey, don't get excited, you won't die, it's just that you've used up a lot of energy."

Xuan Hao sighed helplessly, forced himself to sit up, leaned against the headboard, and briefly explained to her how he absorbed the ancient dragon soul in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and how he used the Qi and Blood Bomb to smash Yu Yuanzhen into the ground.

After hearing this insane and reckless experience, Qian Renxue's lips twitched violently, and she was speechless.

Are you out of your mind?!

Qian Renxue was so angry that she almost lost her composure as Xue Qinghe and burst out cursing, "You did something so dangerous that you could lose your life at any moment, didn't you even tell me beforehand?! You just went to someone else's territory all by yourself and caused trouble. What if Yu Yuanzhen really went crazy and didn't care about anything? What if something happened to you?!"

Faced with Qian Renxue's barrage of insults, Xuan Hao innocently shrugged: "How can I tell you this? What good would it do?"

"Could it be... that you can just send two Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall to come with me to cause trouble at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?" Xuan Hao rolled his eyes. "If the people from the Spirit Hall show up there, the nature of the matter will completely change. If the two major forces start fighting directly, then there will be no way to resolve the situation."

"I'll call Ning Fengzhi and the other two to back me up; that's enough to handle any unexpected problems."

Xuan Hao grasped Qian Renxue's hand and reassured her with a smile, "Don't worry, I always know how to act. As long as I don't completely obliterate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and as long as the value and deterrent power I demonstrate are great enough, they will definitely not easily break ties with me or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan for the sake of their sect's interests."

Although Xuan Hao's explanation was reasonable and could even be described as extremely ingenious, Qian Renxue was still so angry that her chest heaved.

"Even if you don't discuss it with me, you should at least tell me beforehand!"

Qian Renxue turned her head, her gaze fixed on Xue Qinghe's handsome face, and glared at him through gritted teeth. "Such a huge incident happened, and I, the Crown Prince, only found out from my subordinates' intelligence that you almost lost your life! Do you even know what I...?"

“I know, I know you’re worried about me.”

Seeing Qian Renxue's eyes slightly reddened with anger and lingering fear, Xuan Hao sighed softly, opened his arms, hugged Qian Renxue's waist from behind, gently rested his chin on her shoulder, and began to soothe her in a gentle tone.

"Good Xue'er, don't be angry. I was wrong this time. I promise that next time I do something dangerous, I will definitely submit an application report to our great Crown Prince in advance, okay?"

While softly apologizing, Xuan Hao rubbed his cheek against her neck, employing the same tactic he always used to deal with this proud and aloof angel: persistent and shameless pestering.

Under his gentle words and deliberate flattery, the anger that had been building up inside Qian Renxue slowly dissipated. She gave a cold snort, but her body honestly relaxed, letting him hug her from behind and leaning against his weak but still broad chest.

However, as Qian Renxue lay on the bed in Xuan Hao's intimate embrace, a strange and awkward feeling gradually rose in her heart.

She glanced down at the crown prince's casual clothes belonging to the Heavenly Dou royal family, then touched her flat chest and the male face that belonged to "Xue Qinghe," and immediately felt goosebumps all over her body.

"Let go first, and I'll remove this disguise."

Qian Renxue struggled for a moment, trying to push away Xuan Hao's arm and revert to her female form. To be in a man's body while embracing her lover was simply too terrifying and bizarre!
