Douluo Continent: Twin Golden and Silver Dragons Shock Bibi Dong

If one had to pinpoint what was so fatally attractive about the supreme throne of "Emperor" or "Holy Son" to him...

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance, both seeing the speechlessness and resignation in each other's eyes.

The only attraction of that position for him was probably, possibly, absolutely—that he could legitimately and without any imperial laws or worldly moral constraints... open a harem and then arrogantly bestow titles of nobility, imperial nobility, or even empress upon these beautiful female rogues one by one.

Everyone was speechless when they saw Xuan Hao's handsome face that looked so irritating.

After all... such a depraved and extremely lecherous initial intention is something that Xuan Hao is really capable of doing!

Looking at the group of girls with their varied expressions and rich inner monologues, Xuan Hao coughed lightly, pulling their wandering thoughts back to reality.

He dropped his previous nonchalant, lazy demeanor, and his expression became extremely serious and solemn again: "Alright, enough joking. The reason I'm taking such a big risk today to tell you this top secret that could shake the entire continent is that I hope everyone can truly calm down."

"When facing Xue Qinghe, or rather, when facing Qian Renxue, you don't need to do anything. Don't test her, don't expose her identity, and don't even give her the slightest strange look. We just need to continue as before, eating and drinking as usual."

"As for those other troublesome matters concerning the survival of the empire and the infighting among power, I will take full responsibility for them and resolve them myself."

"You'll solve it? How will you solve it?" Ning Rongrong bit her lip, her eyes filled with worry. "That's a deadly situation between the two great empires and the Spirit Hall! Once it erupts, it'll be a meat grinder!"

"That's why I try my best to reduce conflict and forcibly nip the source of killing in the bud."

Xuan Hao stood up from the sofa, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the bustling night view of Tian Dou City. "Why? Because of my current dual identity, my irreplaceable and transcendent status, and even more so because of my... absolute strength that can crush everything!"

He turned around and looked at everyone. "Do you really think that when I created that world-destroying 'blood energy bomb' at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, even at the cost of depleting my own blood energy, it was just to show off or simply to vent my anger?"

"Wrong, that's establishing authority! It's absolute strategic deterrence!"

"In this Douluo Continent where strength reigns supreme, if I only possess powerful individual combat abilities, like the Sword Douluo or my teacher, people might be wary of me, or even fear me, but that's far from enough!"

"Because no matter how strong an individual is, it cannot face thousands of troops at the same time. Those ambitious people hiding behind the scenes will still see an opportunity and will still launch wars for their own benefit."

"Only when I demonstrate that unreasonable, destructive power, only when I possess the terrifying deterrent force to single-handedly overturn the entire chessboard and destroy everyone... will those guys blinded by power and ambition truly feel fear and obediently sit down to listen to me!"

"Close your eyes and think about it."

"If one day I possess the ability to easily destroy the Heaven Dou Imperial City, level the Star Luo Imperial City, or even smash the Spirit City as easily as crushing an ant... then I would be nothing more than a doomsday meteor that could fall at any moment in front of those so-called million-strong armies!"

"In the face of such an absolute and indiscriminate threat of death, would there still be such a ridiculous thing as 'war' on this continent?"

"As long as I don't allow it, neither the emperors of the two great empires nor the Pope of the Spirit Hall... who the hell would dare to cross the line?! Who would dare to start a war?!"

These words were a wake-up call, like heavy hammer blows striking the hearts of every girl.

At that moment, looking at Xuan Hao standing by the window, they finally realized. It turned out that this seemingly irresponsible and frivolous troublemaker actually harbored such a grand and insane "nuclear deterrence peace" plan!

He wasn't trying to please everyone; he was going to use his terrifying power, enough to destroy the world, to force all the ambitious people who wanted to start a war to stay firmly at the negotiating table!

Seeing the girls' utterly shocked expressions, Xuan Hao's cold and domineering aura instantly vanished, and he reverted to the familiar, even somewhat annoying, Xuan Hao.

He walked back to the sofa, reached out and ruffled Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu's hair, his voice becoming extremely gentle and reassuring: "So, you can rest assured. You don't need to bear these heavy burdens. Whether it's the Spirit Hall or Qian Renxue, I will handle everything properly."

"Your only task now is to cultivate diligently and enjoy life. If the sky falls, I'm tall and thick-skinned enough to hold it up for you."

Chapter 252 I'll get you whatever you want.

……

After calming the group of girls whose values ​​had been greatly shaken, Xuan Hao breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Na'er, who had been quietly standing to the side, and gave her a knowing look.

"Na'er, I'll leave the rest of the questions and answers to you. Also, please keep an eye on them for me."

Xuan Hao stood up and straightened his clothes, which were a little disheveled from exhaustion. "I still have to go to the Crown Prince's residence. After that incident, who knows how crazy Qian Renxue is in the residence right now? If she gets agitated and flips the table and causes trouble, that would be a big problem. I have to go and appease her."

After giving him some careful instructions, Xuan Hao left the hotel under the cover of night and headed towards the Crown Prince's residence with practiced ease.

Although the Crown Prince's residence was heavily guarded, it was practically useless to Xuan Hao. As usual, he skillfully scaled the wall and sneaked in.

However, just as he climbed through the window into the inner courtyard, before his feet even touched the ground, a hand reached out from the darkness, grabbed his collar, and roughly dragged him into a secret room.

With a faint golden light, Xue Qinghe's perfect disguise vanished instantly, revealing Qian Renxue's original appearance: golden hair reaching her waist, stunningly beautiful yet with an icy expression.

"How's the situation over there? How exactly did you explain it to them?!" Qian Renxue stared intently at Xuan Hao, her tone urgent, clearly having been tormented by various terrifying scenarios on the way.

Xuan Hao thought for a moment and decided not to play games. He looked directly into her eyes with extreme honesty: "I didn't hide anything. I told them the whole truth... including your true identity, your plan to seize the country, and the fact that I am the Pope's disciple."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue reacted as if a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly becoming anxious.

"Are you crazy?! How could you tell such a secret, enough to wipe out your entire family, to those teenage girls?! Especially since Ning Fengzhi's daughter, Ning Rongrong, is among them! Do you know what you're doing?!"

Qian Renxue's chest heaved violently with anger, and the sacred soul power in her eyes surged uncontrollably once again.

"Calm down, Xue'er!"

Xuan Hao pressed down on her trembling shoulders and pulled her in front of him, his eyes steady and firm: "It's okay, trust me. Ning Rongrong is no longer the spoiled and naive child she once was. She's grown up and knows what's important."

“I have just broken down and analyzed the whole situation for them in detail.”

Xuan Hao patiently reassured her, "If she dares to expose your identity, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will immediately face the Spirit Hall's all-out bloody retaliation! In the face of an absolute difference in strength, what kind of situation will that be? Will the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School still exist? Ning Rongrong will not gamble with the lives of her father and the entire sect."

Xuan Hao paused, "Besides, who am I? I am the Holy Son chosen by the Papal Palace, and also your man, the future Emperor of Heavenly Dou! In the end, isn't the future direction of this continent still up to me?"

"As long as the current situation continues to develop steadily and the handover is completed without bloodshed, I will be the ultimate winner in this game. And if I am the winner, aren't they, as the people around me, also the biggest winners?"

Xuan Hao looked into Qian Renxue's eyes, which were gradually calming down, and continued to analyze: "Breaking through all this won't change anything; it will only cause the situation to deteriorate and spiral out of control instantly, accelerating the full-scale outbreak of war and killing tens of thousands of people. But by remaining silent, everything can continue stably, and we might even achieve a bloodless unification. They're not stupid; they know which choice to make."

After listening to Xuan Hao's extremely rational analysis of the pros and cons, Qian Renxue's mania subsided somewhat, but she still bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with undisguised worry and anxiety.

"But...but this is, after all, the culmination of over ten years of infiltration and the sacrifice of my entire youth!"

Qian Renxue's voice carried an extremely rare vulnerability and tremor, "How could I possibly allow such an uncontrollable risk to exist?! What if? What if one of them let something slip, or Ning Fengzhi noticed something... Wouldn't all these years of walking on thin ice in the dark have been wasted?!"

Looking at this proud angel before him, so insecure and anxious, Xuan Hao stopped spouting empty platitudes. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her waist, scooped her up in his arms, strode to the bedside, and gently laid her down. Then, he pressed himself against her, holding her tightly in his embrace and enveloped in her breath.

"What are you afraid of?"

Xuan Hao looked down at her, gently smoothing her furrowed brow with his finger. "With me here, what are you afraid of?"

"Even if this thin veil is finally torn off, even if your ten-year infiltration plan fails... at worst, I'll just take it down for you, won't I?"

"What two great empires, what a million-strong army. Once I reach the Title Douluo level, when I truly reach that point, I will transform into a hundred-meter-long golden dragon and directly become a meteorite from outer space, smashing it into their military camps and imperial city! One blow will decide the outcome, and I will smash any bullshit obstacles into nothingness!"

He lowered his head, his nose gently touching Qian Renxue's nose.

"I will get you whatever you want."

"So, stop scaring yourself, stop rushing... okay?"

Faced with Xuan Hao's extremely domineering yet reassuring words of comfort, Qian Renxue's body, which had been extremely tense, finally softened little by little.

Her heart, which had been hanging in mid-air due to extreme insecurity, finally settled back into her stomach. The divine soul power surging in her eyes completely subsided, replaced by an extremely rare tenderness and dependence characteristic of a young girl.

Seeing that she had finally stopped dwelling on her thoughts, Xuan Hao didn't say anything more. He simply lay quietly on the bed, stretched out his arms to completely encircle her soft body in his embrace, and gently rested his chin on her hair, enjoying this rare moment of tenderness.

The room fell silent, with only the sound of their breathing mingling.

They hugged each other quietly for a while. Qian Renxue pressed her face against his broad chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, a faint blush rose on her beautiful face.

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes darting away, and asked softly, "You...you're just holding me like this, won't something happen? Won't your body...feel uncomfortable?"

Upon hearing this unexpected question, Xuan Hao was taken aback at first, then gave a helpless wry smile. He reached out and pinched Qian Renxue's cheek, saying irritably, "Please, I'm a gentleman with exceptional self-control, okay? With a beauty in my arms, I'm not so weak as to lack even this most basic self-control."

"is it?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's expression immediately turned extremely strange. She looked Xuan Hao up and down, curled her lips, and mercilessly brought up the past: "Since you have such good self-control, how come you reacted so quickly when you hugged me last time?"

At this point, Qian Renxue suddenly glanced downwards, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, her tone laced with provocation and suspicion: "You wouldn't be... weakened by that 'blood and qi bomb' move, so you can't get up now, would you?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Hao's face instantly darkened, and he fell into a deep silence.

How could anyone tolerate this?! No man could stand such questioning!

Chapter 253 I almost forgot about the important matter.

……

"Weak? Can't get up? Fine, you can doubt my character, but you absolutely cannot doubt my strength!"

Xuan Hao gritted his teeth, suddenly tightened his arms around Qian Renxue's waist, completely sealing off the last gap between them, and aggressively moved even closer.

Qian Renxue wanted to say something more, but after only a few breaths, the teasing look on her face froze instantly.

Because she could clearly feel it in the position where the two of them were pressed tightly together!

Are you satisfied now?

Xuan Hao looked at Qian Renxue's ears, which had turned bright red instantly, and said, "You little hooligan!"

"You...you're the scoundrel!"

Feeling embarrassed and annoyed at being "slapped in the face" on the spot, Qian Renxue glared at him and tried to push him away with her hands on his chest, but she was too weak to muster any strength. Her face was red as she whispered a defense, "I was just... I was just worried about your health!"

"Heh, what's the use of saying these sarcastic things now?" Xuan Hao rolled his eyes speechlessly, sighed, and said with a hint of resentment in his voice, "Now that you've stirred up the fire, what am I going to do? You're the one who's talking big, but I'm the one who's suffering now."

Seeing Xuan Hao's restrained yet somewhat aggrieved expression, Qian Renxue bit her lower lip, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

"Then... how about... I help you?"

Xuan Hao sighed helplessly, stopped teasing, and instead hugged Qian Renxue even tighter, burying his face deeply in the fragrant crook of her neck.

"Okay, stop fooling around."

"You have no experience, you'll only make things worse by trying to help. Don't make things even more awkward and embarrassing for me later."

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath of her scent, and gently coaxed, "Don't move, sweetie, let me hold you for a while... I'll be fine once I calm down."

That being said, with the two of them embracing each other so closely, feeling the soft, jade-like body in his arms and the delicate fragrance lingering around his nose, even if Xuan Hao had strong willpower, how could he easily quell the evil fire in his body that he had finally managed to suppress?

After hugging for a while, Qian Renxue suddenly sensed that Xuan Hao, who was lying on top of her, began to slowly shrink down restlessly.

This sudden action startled Qian Renxue. Her mind went blank for a moment, and the blush that had just faded from her cheeks spread back at a visible speed.

That bastard... did he finally give in and try to do something "outrageous"?

Although reason told her that she absolutely couldn't do anything reckless given Xuan Hao's current physical condition, Qian Renxue remembered that it was indeed her teasing that had provoked him to this state. She gripped the bed sheet tightly, bit her red lips, and ultimately couldn't bring herself to harden her heart and push him away.

After all, he caused this trouble himself. If he really wants to... then let him be.

However, it turns out that Qian Renxue had clearly misunderstood the situation.

Xuan Hao slid down slowly for a distance before stopping. He didn't do anything indecent or lewd; he simply stretched out his arms and wrapped them around her slender, soft waist, then buried his head deeply in her chest like a child who had finally found a safe haven.
