In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

"Mmm..." The kitten whimpered softly, recalling the scene of recording Lan Si earlier. Her pretty face instantly turned red, and she said coquettishly, "You really have a wicked sense of humor. But speaking of which, why don't you go and kill Tang San to eliminate future troubles?"

"No rush... I've already left a spatial teleportation mark on his neck. He can't escape my grasp. Besides, he still has some use. Now is not the time to kill him." As she spoke, Lan Si turned around, ready to continue playing cards with the kitten.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Ye Lingling's voice came from outside, "A-Si, are you there...?" She didn't go in because her Sacred Heart Domain had already sensed that Lan Si and the kitten were playing cards in the room.

"Is there something you need, Lingling?" Lan Si showed no sign of stopping, while the kitten covered her red lips, trying her best not to make a sound.

Ye Lingling said, "Sister Xue'er asked me to come and inform you that you are needed to attend the coronation ceremony tomorrow. Don't be late."

After saying that, she turned and left, her pretty face flushed.

Shortly after he left, beautiful music filled Lan Si's room.

...North of Tiandou City, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"That's how it is..." As soon as he returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Bone Douluo recounted the story of Tang Hao's demise. The expressions on everyone's faces varied.

A hint of regret flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes. It wasn't regret for Tang Hao, but for Lan Si. It was such a pity that a young powerhouse with strength comparable to a titled expert at the Soul Saint realm hadn't married into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ning Rongrong was overjoyed; her joy and excitement were almost palpable. She was genuinely happy that her dream lover was safe and sound.

Chapter 327 Azure Emperor, Vast Ocean Universe Cover

Oscar was overjoyed. If you were to ask who hated Tang San the most in the entire Douluo Continent, he would be number one, and no one would dare to be number two, not even Lan Si.

Hearing that Tang San's father had died, he was overjoyed.

As for Sword Douluo, the usually taciturn Sword Douluo couldn't help but sigh upon hearing of Tang Ritian's demise, "Truly, a new generation replaces the old. The once mighty Haotian Douluo has ended like this..."

"Yes, no one expected that Tang Hao, who became the youngest Title Douluo in the Douluo Continent at the age of forty-four, would end up like this." Bone Douluo couldn't help but sigh.

"If anyone's to blame, it's him for having a son who's always causing trouble but can't stand losing. Ever since the Soto City era, after losing to Lan Si, he's repeatedly tried to kill him. Even a clay figure has some temper; it's no wonder Lan Si harbors resentment. And that Tang Hao, he deserved to die too. Five years ago, relying on his title as a Douluo, he tried to kill Lan Si. Now Lan Si has turned the tables on him. You reap what you sow," Oscar said gleefully.

"By the way, there's something you might be interested in hearing." Bone Douluo suddenly revealed a strange smile, "The original body left behind by that 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit after its sacrifice, Lan Si returned it to Tang San, guess what?"

"Dead?" Oscar answered instinctively.

Bone Douluo shook his head, suppressing a laugh. "No, that's not right..."

"It was made into roasted rabbit?" Ning Rongrong asked tentatively. She remembered that before she broke up with Zhu Zhuqing, the other party had told her that Lan Si loved to eat rabbit meat.

"If only it were like that." Bone Douluo shook his head again.

Sword Douluo slapped Bone Douluo on the back of the head and scolded, "Speak your mind, or shut up. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

"You shameless woman, still so impatient." Bone Douluo curled his lip, coughed a few times, and said, "That female rabbit is pregnant..."

*Pfft*—Including Ning Fengzhi, who never showed his emotions, and the stern Sword Douluo, everyone instantly broke down, exchanging bewildered glances. First, their lips twitched, then they burst into laughter, "Haha..."

...............

As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. On the day of the funeral of Emperor Xue Ye, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, ascended the throne as the Crown Prince of the Tian Dou Empire, taking the name Emperor Qinghe.

The defenses of the Heaven Dou Empire's palace are now much tighter than before; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say there's a guard every five steps and a sentry every ten. Thousands of Soul Masters have been recalled to the Heaven Dou Palace to protect the safety of the royal family.

At dawn, before the sun had risen in the east, Lan Si led the kitten and Ye Lingling into the Tian Dou Imperial Palace.

The Crown Prince's decree is now more effective than Emperor Xueye's 'personal presence' decree. After presenting the Crown Prince's decree, the three entered the palace without any hindrance.

The battlefield where Lan Si and Tang Ritian clashed, the Imperial Palace Square, has been completely repaired thanks to the tireless efforts of thousands of Soul Masters and tens of thousands of Imperial Guards working through the night. There is no trace of the battle at all. In the center of the square stands a statue.

Holding Thor's hammer in his left hand and a chaotic blue lotus in his right, clad in ice-blue armor, his divine might was unparalleled. It was none other than Lan Si.

After a period of continuous development, the battle between Lan Si and Haotian Douluo Tiandou Palace had already spread throughout the entire continent.

To express his gratitude to Lan Si for saving the Tian Dou Empire from collapse, Emperor Qinghe of the Tian Dou Empire specially ordered the casting of this statue in Tian Dou Square so that future generations would remember Lan Si's kindness to the Tian Dou Empire.

Inside the palace.

Qian Renxue, now disguised as Xue Qinghe, sat solemnly on a high platform, clad in a long, golden-red robe and wearing a dazzling gold and diamond crown. Even though she was in disguise, her mere presence exuded an aura of centrality. It seemed as if everything around her revolved around her.

Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong also arrived.

Ning Fengzhi sat to the side of Qian Renxue, looking rather pleased with himself. Just moments before, Qian Renxue had, as promised, bestowed upon him the title of National Preceptor of the Heavenly Dou Empire. Of course, if he had known that this would be a nominal position with no real power, he probably wouldn't have been so happy.

Ning Rongrong stood behind him. When she saw Lan Si and the other two arrive, she hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded to Lan Si.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Lan Si and the other two symbolically bowed to Qian Renxue, who is now the Qinghe Emperor.

Qian Renxue, channeling her inner drama queen, smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, A-Si, just call me Brother Xue as before. Someone, please have a seat."

"Thank you, Brother Xue." Lan Si nodded and sat down opposite Ning Fengzhi. The kitten and Ye Lingling stood behind him.

Lan Si and Ning Fengzhi exchanged a glance. Ning Fengzhi gave him a friendly smile, and Lan Si nodded slightly in response.

"Ah Si, the reason I summoned you to the palace this time is not only to attend the late emperor's funeral, but also for another matter." Qian Renxue spoke in Xue Qinghe's tone, "Lan Si, receive your appointment."

"Lan Si is here." Lan Si stood up, bowed, and then heard Qian Renxue above say, "I hereby confer upon Lan Si the title of the first Imperial Nobleman since the founding of the nation. Imperial title: Qing. I also bestow upon him the title of Grand Marshal of the Armed Forces of the Empire. Within the Empire, he may mobilize troops at will. He shall be equal to me. He need not pay homage upon meeting me."

As she spoke, Qian Renxue waved her hand, and a servant brought a brocade tray to Lan Si.

Qian Renxue smiled and said, "A-Si, open it and take a look."

Lan Si knew that this was the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, which only the Emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire could retrieve from the Imperial Treasury, but he still deliberately feigned confusion and lifted the red cloth. Instantly, the entire palace was enveloped in a powerful, precious light.

As the precious light gradually dissipated, the form of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover came into Lan Si's view. It was a triangular prism, no bigger than a palm, its entire body a crystal-clear azure blue. Its surface bore peculiar patterns resembling ripples of water, shimmering and rippling with the blue light, as if it were alive. Even without touching it, Lan Si could feel the powerful energy fluctuations within the shimmering blue light.

"This item is called the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, a national treasure of our Heavenly Dou Empire. It will be your symbol of status from now on. In addition, the Crown Prince's Palace will also bestow it upon you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lan Si accepted the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and casually stored it in his Heart of the Azure Sea. He had no intention of inheriting the Sea God's position; on the contrary, he even wanted to kill the other party. Because in the original story, this guy had tampered with Qian Renxue's ninth angelic test.

Of course, if he could choose either the kitten or Ye Lingling as his successor, it would be worth considering.

By the time Emperor Xueye's funeral was held, it was already noon. Qian Renxue personally escorted Lan Si and Ning Fengzhi out of the palace.

P.S.: Fourth update. The story is nearing its end. I estimate there will be about a hundred more chapters until the Douluo world story concludes. My previous book, Battle Through the Heavens, fell apart, so I've come up with a good idea: to have Lan Si join Battle Through the Heavens to make up for the shortcomings.

But some people don't like it and are afraid it will be a disappointing ending, so let's just vote. Leave a comment below.

1. The story will end after I finish writing Douluo Continent.

2. After Douluo Continent ends, go to Battle Through the Heavens.

Chapter 328 Ning Rongrong, the Simp

Walking in the palace square, Lan Ji and Ning Fengzhi stood side by side, with Little Cat, Ye Lengleng, and Ning Rongrong following behind him.

"Aji, I don't know if I should call you Aji, or Qingdi, or Brother Ritian," Ning Fengzhi said to Lan Ji half-jokingly.

"Uncle Ning, you're joking. No matter what, I'm still Lan Ji. You can still call me A Ji as before. I used the alias Tang Ritian before, just to protect myself," Lan Ji said calmly.

Hearing Lan Ji still call him Uncle Ning, Ning Fengzhi's eyes immediately lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Alright, Ji, since that's the case, then I won't beat around the bush. Rongrong, come here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Rongrong walked over quickly and, with a thud, knelt down on both knees, bowing in submission to Lan Ji.

Lan Ji reacted incredibly quickly. In a flash, he moved to the side of the kitten and Ye Leng Leng. He raised his right hand, and a faint red aura floated out from his hand to help Ning Rongrong up.

The aura Lan Ji released from a distance was gentle and not strong, and Ning Rongrong easily broke free. She refused to get up no matter what, and raised her beautiful face, saying stubbornly, "Brother Lan, please accept my bow. In the past, Rongrong was deceived by Tang San and was disrespectful to you many times, and even broke ties with Zhu Qing. Rongrong does not expect to restore the friendship we had during the Soto City period, she only asks that you not hold a grudge against her."

Looking at Ning Rongrong's resolute and pretty face, Lan Ji saw the truth in her eyes, without a trace of falsehood. He knew that this time, Ning Rongrong was no longer just paying lip service like last time, but was genuinely apologizing.

However, some things, once destroyed, can never be restored.

Even if both sides put aside their prejudices, there will still be a trace of resentment, not to mention that it was his girlfriend from his previous life who destroyed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Lan Ji said frankly, "Miss Ning, to be honest, I have never resented you. After all, we were never on the same side. At that time, you were in Shrek Academy, so it was normal for you to share the same hatred as Tang San and the others. As for Zhu Qing, some things, once destroyed, are destroyed forever. There is no medicine for regret in this world, and it is impossible to go back to the past. I can only say that she has never hated you, or anyone else, but you can only be ordinary friends from now on."

At this point, Lan Ji gave the kitten a wink, and the kitten, understanding, went to help Ning Rongrong up. But Ning Rongrong still showed no intention of getting up.

Ning Fengzhi sighed and said, "Aji, you are a smart child. You should know the current situation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Since the annihilation of our sect, it has been in decline and is no longer what it used to be. Although His Majesty promised to support the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it is unknown when it will be able to return to its former glory. Now, the Spirit Hall is also eyeing us covetously. The future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is even more uncertain. Aji, I hope that you can take Rongrong as your disciple for the sake of the Distraction Control Technique and the Fusion Ring Technique that my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School once gave you, and take care of her in the future."

Hearing Ning Fengzhi bring up the Distraction Control Method and the Fusion Ring Method, and that these two methods had indeed been very helpful to him, Lan Ji had no choice but to agree. However, he couldn't accept Ning Fengzhi as his disciple. He said seriously, "Uncle Ning, let's forget about the discipleship. But I can promise you that no matter what happens in the future, Miss Ning can live a peaceful life. Zhu Qing, Leng Leng, we should go."

After saying that, Lan Ji snapped his fingers, and a huge black hole slowly opened behind him. The little cat and Ye Lengleng stood on either side of Lan Ji, understanding the situation. The black hole closed again, and the three of them disappeared from the palace square in the astonished gazes of Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong.

Looking at the spot where Lan Ji had disappeared, Ning Fengzhi sighed softly, "Ah, Rongrong, get up." Clearly, Lan Ji's refusal to become his disciple was not unexpected.

Ning Rongrong wiped away her tears, a knowing smile appearing on her face. At least, Lan Ji no longer disliked her.

..................

When Lan Ji returned to the Crown Prince's residence with the kitten and Ye Lengleng, the words "Crown Prince" on the gate plaque had disappeared, replaced by the words "Azure Emperor".

Lan Ji was not one to hold extravagant celebrations, especially since the Crown Prince's residence was decorated by Qian Renxue. So, apart from the plaque, everything else remained as it was.

The Female CEO's All-Powerful Bodyguard

The three returned to the small courtyard. Lan Ji took out the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and said to the kitten, "Zhu Qing, try dripping a drop of blood on it and see if it produces a reaction."

Although the kitten didn't understand, it still bit its index finger as instructed, dripping a drop of its essence blood. As expected, although the kitten's strength was significantly greater than in the original story—its soul power reaching level 67, on par with Ye Lengleng, after absorbing Tang Ritian's left leg bone—its martial soul essence remained that of the Netherworld Cat. It did not gain the approval of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

Lan Ji held the kitten's hand, gently sucked on its fingers, and used the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone technique, "Wildfire Cannot Burn Out, Spring Breeze Brings New Life," to heal the kitten. At the same time, he said to Ye Leng Leng, "Leng Leng, you should try it too."

Ye Lengleng nodded and dripped a drop of blood as instructed. Instantly, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover burst forth with a strong azure halo, and a figure in the shape of a lake floated out from it. A majestic and calm voice rang in the ears of the three, "It has been many years since I have tasted such delicious blood. It's a pity that it is a support type. Young man, would you like to give it a try?"

At this point, Mo Hu looked down at Lan Ji, his azure eyes darting around as if he were looking at a priceless treasure. He sensed an instinctive urge emanating from Lan Ji, as if he were craving the other's blood.

"No need. I don't like this divine position." Lan Ji refused without the slightest hesitation, and looked at the figure in the lake again as if he were looking at a dead man.

"That's not up to you." The figure from Mohu smiled slightly, his body disappearing into the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. He controlled the Vast Ocean Universe Cover to crash into Lan Ji's forehead. Lan Ji was prepared. With a thought, a black hole opened out of thin air and sucked him in.

To prevent the loss of the Azure Heart or the Qiankun Bag, Lan Ji had already left spatial teleportation marks inside the two soul tools. This remnant of the sea god's attempt to freeze him with this azure light and forcibly recognize him as its master was simply wishful thinking.

"Aji... what was that just now..." The azure aura faded, and the three regained their mobility. Kitten and Ye Leng Leng looked at Lanji in horror.

"Just a false god. No need to care," Lan Ji replied indifferently.

Back in her room, Lan Ji entered the Azure Lotus Space.

"Can you remove the soul imprint here for me?" Lan Ji handed the Vast Ocean Protector to Bibi Dong, who was wearing pajamas.

"It should be possible, but my energy is limited right now, so it will take some time." Looking at the Vast Ocean Protective Shield that was emitting a hazy blue light, Bibi Dong in her pajamas answered calmly.

"Alright, then let's take advantage of this time to send me to the Bad Guys world. It's time to go back and visit." Lan Ji sighed softly.

The pajama version of Bibi Dong nodded slightly. As she made several strange hand seals, a strong light enveloped Lan Ji. When she opened her eyes again, she was already in the familiar world of Bad Guys.
