Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

What do you want to say?

Prince Xuexing's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Yan with wariness. His financial problems were a very secretive matter; how did this guy know?

Yan said with a smile, "I heard that Your Highness is addicted to gambling and women. The results of the Martial Soul City Elite Tournament were a huge upset. How much did you lose? When are you planning to pay it back?"

As he spoke, he took out a slip of paper from his soul tool. The contents of the paper caused Prince Xuexing's expression to change drastically. It was an IOU that he had personally signed, and the amount was as high as one million.

"How did this IOU end up with you?"

Prince Xuexing's face darkened. He remembered very clearly that he had borrowed the money from a wealthy merchant in the Heaven Dou Empire, and that person had no connection with the Spirit Hall.

Yan continued with a grin, "Your Highness seems to be a bit out of touch. Your creditor went bankrupt due to business problems, so this IOU has naturally ended up in the hands of his creditor."

A simple IOU doesn't prove anything, but if people knew that you bet on the Star Luo Royal Academy team winning the overall battle, and that you made the same bet in the Heavenly Battle against Star Luo, what would happen if that news got out?

What do you want?

Prince Xuexing's face was extremely grim. Yan was threatening him, and his actions in this matter were indeed problematic. If the news that the Heavenly Dou royal prince had bet on the Xingluo team to win got out, he would be in serious trouble.

“His Highness lost something, and I found it for you. Now it’s back to its rightful owner. In return, please do me a favor and approve their transfer procedures. This way, everyone will be happy, so why not?”

Yan reached out and stuffed the IOU into Prince Xuexing's arms, patted his chest, and said earnestly, "Besides, Yan Yan is Poison Douluo's beloved granddaughter. If she's unhappy, you won't be able to explain it to Poison Douluo."

“I don’t want this to happen again. And that matter should end here, otherwise I will not let it go.”

After saying this, Prince Xuexing turned around abruptly, and Meng Shenji and the other two immediately came to greet him. They had a bad feeling; Yan and Prince Xuexing's little tricks just now had not escaped their notice.

They could see clearly that the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall seemed to have 'bribed' this prince with something. Could it be that this prince was prepared to slap himself in the face and take back what he had just said just for that little bit of benefit?

Prince Xuexing said in a deep voice, "Chief Meng Shenji, the transfer of a few students is just a minor matter. It's best not to make a big deal out of it. Since the students themselves have agreed, there's no need to force them. Just agree to their transfer."

"Your Highness, this is against the rules."

Meng Shenji frowned slightly as he replied. Although the other party was a prince, given their status in the Soul Master world, they dared to confront even a prince directly. However, this person was the one in charge of the academy within the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family, so they couldn't afford to offend him.

Prince Xuexing said in a deep voice, "In the end, this is just a small matter between students. Since the students have agreed, why insist on it so much? I have already made a decision and agree to their transfer. I think as a representative of the royal family, I still have this power, and there is no need to disturb His Majesty over such a small matter."

Meng Shenji stomped his foot and roared at Prince Xuexing, "Your Highness, you...you're confused! The Royal Academy is a place where the Empire cultivates talent, not a place where dirty deals run rampant."

Today you opened a door and agreed to a deal. How can the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy maintain its rules in the future? By doing this, you are pushing the empire into the abyss. You, you, you…”

Meng Shenji was enraged, and his soul power fluctuated erratically. However, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't change anything. Yan had already led a group of people away from the private room. Since Prince Xuexing had spoken, the others naturally had no reason to stop him.

After the Spirit Hall group left, Meng Shenji and his companions started arguing with Prince Xue Xing again. "Prince Xue Xing, we will report today's events to His Majesty. Our Education Committee believes that you are simply not capable of taking responsibility for the academy's work..."

"casual."

After saying this, Prince Xuexing left decisively, not giving the three education committee members any face at all. When he went down to the private room in the backyard of the teahouse, he looked up from afar and thought, "These three old guys are getting more and more arrogant because of Xue Qinghe's relationship."

"That Xue Qinghe fellow is becoming increasingly obvious and restless. If he really ascends to the throne, I'm afraid my situation will be dire."

Prince Xuexing's face was extremely gloomy. This incident seemed like a farce, but it contained many profound meanings. It involved the struggle between the royal family and the Spirit Hall, as well as the internal conflicts within the royal family. Even those who were involved could hardly understand these things.

Chapter 230 Dugu Yan's Initiative

Outside the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Yan led a group of people onto a carriage. Wu Mei left with Ning Yi. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would arrange their whereabouts. They had been affected by Yan this time, and Yan himself would not ignore it.

On the bumpy carriage, Yan glanced at Ye Lingling next to Dugu Yan. The slender Ye Lingling seemed very restrained.

Because her face was covered by a black veil, Yan couldn't see her features, but her bright eyes were very beautiful, so she must be extremely beautiful.

She was a very sensitive girl. After noticing Yan's gaze, she slightly raised her head and looked at Yan with a mixture of wariness and curiosity in her eyes. Her gaze was full of questions.

She was also somewhat curious about Yan. This Holy Son of the Spirit Hall was not much older than her, yet he was already a renowned figure on the continent, holding his own against Soul Douluo like Meng Shenji and imperial figures like Prince Xue Xing.

He even had two titled Douluo accompanying him for protection and at his beck and call. He was a young man full of mystery, a figure she looked up to.

Yan was slightly taken aback by Ye Lingling's gaze. He remained silent, unsure of what to say.

He should have said something, after all, Ye Lingling was forcibly taken out of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy by him, and he had a responsibility to take care of her.

But what should he say now?

Yan frowned slightly, unsure of what to say. He hesitated, unsure of what to say or how to express himself. He wasn't actually a smooth talker, the Holy Son thought to himself.

What's even more crucial is that there are two other beautiful women, one older and one younger, beside him. Although Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong are talking quietly, their attention is entirely focused on the two of them who are not speaking.

Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong were also very curious about the situation of these two people. Their eyes were constantly on Yan. They knew what kind of person he was and were curious about what he would do next.

"Your Highness, Holy Son."

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Lingling spoke up, "I wonder what you plan to do with me."

She was wary of Yan. This man had taken her out of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and for this he had even clashed with the Royal Education Committee, and even a battle at the Douluo level had broken out.

Such a thing is rare on the entire continent, and the person in front of him doesn't seem like a peaceful person either.

Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan both seemed to have close relationships with him, so this guy was probably a womanizer. Thinking this, Ye Lingling couldn't help but feel flustered, and a wave of shame and anger surged into her mind. Could it be that he also had some ulterior motives towards her?

Just as Ye Lingling was pondering these thoughts, Yan suddenly turned around and smiled at her. Ye Lingling felt a pang of panic; could it be that he really wanted to…?

Yan looked at Ye Lingling with a strange expression. Was his smile lewd? He was clearly very kind. Why did the beautiful woman in front of him look like she had encountered a scoundrel?

“Lingling, why don’t you and Yanyan come with me to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for a while? Once I’ve settled things at hand, I’ll send you to Martial Soul City.”

Ye Lingling breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing Yan's words, but then her heart tightened again. What did this guy just say? He wanted to stay at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with her. Why didn't he arrange for her to stay in Martial Soul City? Could it be that he really had that kind of intention?

She became even more nervous, but perhaps because Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong were by her side, Yan only said a few words and did not continue to communicate with Ye Lingling. The carriage fell into a deathly silence once again.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's carriage was quite fast. As the afterglow of the setting sun swept across the horizon, the carriage stopped outside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's castle.

Yan led three beautiful women, both young and old, into the castle of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and then proceeded to the courtyard where Yan resided.

The courtyard arranged by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was quite nice, but there was something out of place: some of the flowers had been ruined by Miss Ning Rongrong. It's unclear what kind of interest this young lady had that made her so fond of using these precious flowers to make wreaths.

Yan looked around the courtyard. There was only one room, and besides Ning Rongrong, there were two other people, which made things a bit difficult. He turned to Ning Rongrong, "Uh, Rongrong, why don't you help arrange things..."

"Hmph. Sister Yanyan and Sister Lingling are also my good friends, of course I will make arrangements."

Ning Rongrong didn't give Yan a friendly look, but she was very kind to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. Girls' friendships sometimes develop so quickly; after just a short experience on the carriage, the girls had already become best friends.

Ning Rongrong ran to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, taking one of their hands in each, and said, "Sisters, let's go and rest first. As for this guy, just leave him here by himself."

Yan watched the three of them leave together, scratched his head, and felt a little depressed. He had been looking forward to some nighttime activities tonight.

"Hey……"

Yan helplessly touched his nose, turned around and went back to his room. He planned to rest well and think about what happened today. Now that his relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had been exposed, Tian Dou City was likely to be quite lively in the near future.

However, the most troublesome person is Ning Fengzhi. It is unknown whether this sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can withstand the pressure from the Heaven Dou Royal Family.

Yan rubbed his head and went into his room to fall into a deep sleep. As for dinner, he planned to eat it after he woke up. Anyway, he was used to irregular sleep patterns, just like in his previous life. In this life, with his soul power protecting him, he liked to stay up even more. After all, staying up all night wouldn't kill him. Staying up late to exert his strength and crushing his competitors was the way to win.

After an unknown amount of time, Yan felt as if he smelled a different fragrance. At this moment, he was having a beautiful dream. In front of him was a magnificent hall with a burning bonfire. He sat in the middle of the hall, surrounded by countless beautiful snake women who danced and swayed in front of him, exuding a unique allure.

He had just started to feel thirsty when a stunningly beautiful snake woman immediately wrapped herself around him, her jade-like arms gently encircling his body, and wine was brought to his lips.

He looked down slightly and saw a beautiful snake woman sitting cross-legged beside him, her tail teasingly hooking around his waist, occasionally twisting a couple of times.

Yan wasn't exactly a gentleman, and he was most vulnerable to these sweet-talking tactics. Just as he lowered his head, a soft little hand covered his mouth.

The sweet fruit tasted especially delicious in his mouth. He chewed very carefully because along with the fruit, his slender, white fingers also entered his mouth and moved teasingly.

Yan felt an urge to turn over and ride off. He acted on his impulse and in one swift motion, he pinned the docile and amusing snake woman in front of him, who had been teasing him like a little wildcat, beneath him.

He lowered his head slightly and aimed at the beauty's small mouth. Their lips touched, and he seemed to hear a sound, like a scream. The beauty beneath him seemed to be putting up a little resistance. Could it be that he was too rough?

Yan didn't think much of it and continued to enjoy himself. He didn't know how much time had passed when he groggily woke up from his dream. The soft, fragrant body beside him was alluring, and his mouth tasted sweet, making him smack his lips involuntarily.

He sensed something was wrong. Why did this feeling feel so real, as if he were actually embracing and kissing a beautiful woman? Was it a dream? He subconsciously took two deep breaths and seemed to smell a faint fragrance—the scent of a beautiful woman?

The realistic touch, the beautiful woman's fragrance—the scent even seemed somewhat familiar—could it be real? He seemed to remember something, cautiously opening his eyes, his head reeling as if struck by thunder.

"Waaah..."

Perhaps his movements were a bit too rough, because a small struggle came from beneath him. After regaining some composure, Yan quickly got off the other man.

"Yanyan, what's wrong with you..."

Yan looked at Dugu Yan, who was disheveled on the bed and had released her martial spirit at some point. He said that it felt so real, as if he really was hugging a snake woman and being intimate with her.

On the messy bed, Dugu Yan, her clothes disheveled, slightly raised her head, a faint blush rising on her pretty face. "Brother Yan, I came to have dinner with you, and then..."

Although she didn't finish her sentence, the meaning was already quite clear. Someone had just been having a wet dream in bed when this beautiful woman came in to call him for dinner. Then, she casually grabbed him and started groping him, leading to this scene.

Of course, there are some aspects of this matter that are difficult to explain, such as why Dugu Yan released her martial spirit and seemed to cooperate. But is that important or crucial? Is it strange that the Snake Beauty, who had feelings for the Holy Son, became more proactive after being taken to bed?

Yan quickly recalled the whole incident in her mind, then said somewhat awkwardly, "Yanyan, about tonight..."

Before he could finish speaking, Dugu Yan threw herself into his arms again, "Brother Yan, Yan Yan did it willingly, it's not your fault."

The girl had already said such things, so what could Yan say? What else could he say? He looked down at the beautiful girl, whose beauty surpassed even that of flowers, and felt his throat go dry again.

"Yanyan, I mean, that feeling just now, I kind of want to try it again."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and reached out to lift Dugu Yan's delicate and smooth chin. The little beauty did not object to what was about to happen and slightly raised her head to let him do as he pleased.

Yan got his wish and captured the red lips. The lips were so moist. He greedily took more, and his throat seemed to feel dry.

The two people, engrossed in their own thoughts, did not notice that two figures had appeared outside the door at some point.

Chapter 231 Ye Lingling's 'Treasure'

Inside the quiet courtyard, the lights were dim. Yan and the snake beauty Dugu Yan were entwined in the room, while outside, Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling were cautiously peeking at them.

Ning Rongrong was quite bold; not only did she peek, but she even tried to push the door open. If Ye Lingling hadn't stopped her, she might have been discovered long ago.

Ning Rongrong peeked through the crack in the door into the room. Although she couldn't see the bedroom clearly, she could vaguely tell that the two people inside were definitely not doing anything good. Ning Rongrong subconsciously thought of what Yan had done to her that day, and felt both blushing and extremely angry.

"Rongrong, how could those two do this..."

Ye Lingling's face flushed slightly. This was the first time she had ever seen a man and woman being intimate. Although she couldn't see it very clearly, it had broadened her worldview.

"Hmph. It must be that big pervert. Sister Yan Yan clearly came to invite him to dinner, but he acted like this instead. How awful..."

Ning Rongrong said angrily, "No, Sister Lingling, we have to rescue Sister Yanyan, otherwise, who knows what that pervert will do."

Ye Lingling's face flushed slightly, and she hesitated before saying, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Sister Yan Yan seems to agree."

Ning Rongrong almost blurted out what happened that day in her haste, but seeing that Ye Lingling didn't seem to think much of it, she quickly added, "Sister Yanyan must have been coerced, that's for sure. That guy has a history of this kind of thing, back then... oh well, anyway, I can't let him continue like this..."

"Yanyan, let's call it a day for now."

Just as Ning Rongrong was about to cause trouble, Yan suddenly grabbed the panting Dugu Yan inside the room. The beautiful girl in front of him was already aroused, and if he wanted, he could take her down to the third base right now. But unfortunately, there was no chance tonight.
