Douluo Dragon King: Doumu's Blessing, I Am the Star Lord

"Huh? How did you know I broke through to Super Douluo?" Mu Ye looked at Kong Ri with surprise.

I didn't say anything.

"Didn't you say so!" Makino slapped his thigh, tears welling up in his eyes. "So you chased me all the way onto this cruise ship just to give me a congratulatory gift! That's so kind of you!"

Kong Ri: "..."

He became stronger, but also dumber!

Just then, the cruise ship's loudspeaker suddenly blared, and a gentle female voice carried on the sea breeze throughout the entire deck:

"Dear passengers, on this voyage we will pass through a volcanic archipelago that has been silent for thousands of years and the Arctic ice sea. Please be aware of the temperature changes and add clothing as needed."

"Furthermore, this voyage is the captain's final voyage of his career. Tonight at 8 PM, we will be holding an exhibition of rare luminous pearls in the banquet hall. All passengers are welcome to attend..."

The announcement ended, but the noise on the deck continued.

A silent volcano, the far northern sea, the captain's last voyage.

If this ship doesn't sink, it would be a waste of its value!

Chapter 104 Goodbye Leng Yulai, Substitute Literature!

The cruise ship cut through the blue waves and sailed smoothly on the sea lanes near the Star Luo Empire.

The crystal chandeliers in the top-floor banquet hall cast dappled light, while melodious prelude music flowed through the hall.

The flowing gowns swept across the polished marble floor, their hems carrying the scent of fine perfumes that mingled with the sweetness of champagne and the richness of cigars, creating a grand and extravagant ball on the sea.

Officials from the Star Luo Empire, dressed in sharp formal attire, chatted and laughed with wealthy merchants from the Federation, clinking glasses and exchanging pleasantries. Everyone wore polite smiles, but each harbored their own agenda.

The side door of the banquet hall was gently pushed open by a waiter.

The young man, dressed in a black and white color-blocked robe, walked slowly in. The robe was made of the finest brocade, with dark dragon patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs. As he moved, the light shimmered, but it could not suppress the young man's refined and upright temperament.

Qian Gu Xing Ci glanced around the room, then took a couple of steps toward a corner with little interest and casually picked up a glass of juice from a waiter's tray.

He hadn't originally wanted to come to the ball, but the organizers were so insistent that he couldn't refuse. Plus, the ball was connected with a rare exhibition of deep-sea treasures that was worth seeing.

His gaze casually swept across the entire room, finally settling on the most secluded booth in the banquet hall.

There sat a woman with black hair and black eyes, her long black velvet dress outlining her slender and alluring figure. Her fair and straight legs were crossed, and a section of her fair and delicate skin was revealed at the slit of the skirt, dazzling under the light.

Seemingly noticing his gaze, the woman looked up, a half-smile playing on her lips. She then stood up and slowly walked towards him in her high heels.

The high heels clicked crisply on the marble floor.

Qian Gu Xing Ci narrowed his eyes slightly as the woman stopped in front of him. This woman was actually a little taller than him, and her eyes held a hint of nonchalant languor.

He had never seen this face before, but the aura emanating from her gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

He couldn't sense any fluctuations in the other party's cultivation level at all.

The possibility of him being an ordinary person can be ruled out, which proves that this person has a very high level of cultivation.

The woman noticed the wariness in his eyes. Her voice, with its unique husky quality, possessed a captivating charm that caused Qian Gu Xing Ci's pupils to constrict slightly.

"Long time no see, little one."

Leng Yulai!

The fact that the Four Dark Kings disguised themselves and got on this ship is a big problem. Qian Gu Xing Ci's mind raced.

After what happened before, Qian Gu Xing Ci felt that Leng Yu Lai seemed to treat him quite well, and of course, there was also Harosa there to be prepared for any eventuality.

"Auntie Lai, this time..."

"This whole ship has been turned upside down, and there are only a few people who are worth looking at. I wouldn't go to a place like this to kill someone." Leng Yulai shrugged.

The ancient star departs, its brows slightly raised.

He was well aware of the Holy Spirit Cult's recent movements. Both the Holy Spirit Cult's emperor and king were plotting to exterminate the Sea Soul Beast. The Demon Emperor was a madman, and the Ghost Emperor was constantly thinking of using mental medicine to treat him while simultaneously controlling him.

The Underworld Emperor doesn't concern himself with worldly affairs; he's only interested in becoming a god. He has no conflict of interest with the Ghost Emperor, who is even trying to completely win him over.

Moreover, for the sake of future grand plans, the top leaders of the Holy Spirit Cult cannot show their faces for the time being.

The Ghost Emperor, going with the flow, made killing sea spirit beasts politically correct for the Holy Spirit Cult, except for the Deep Sea Demon Whale, of course.

He just didn't expect Leng Yulai to suddenly appear here.

The woman in front of him suddenly leaned down, her warm breath mixed with a faint, cool fragrance brushing against his ear. "But I'm quite curious, is the 'cold' in Xia Zheng's name really not the 'cold' of our Leng family?"

She drew out the last syllable, with a seductive itch, "You two, mother and son, smell better than each other."

One sentence was earth-shattering!

Qian Gu Xing Ci froze for a moment.

Could this be some kind of romantic entanglement his mother incurred outside?

He subconsciously lowered his head and sniffed his clothes.

Hmm, I burned some calming ambergris before going out. Mixed with the boy's fresh scent, it really smelled quite nice.

This silly action amused Leng Yulai. She reached out and poked Qian Gu Xing Ci's forehead: "Aren't you silly?"

Qian Gu Xing Ci coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment: "Aunt Lai, let's get down to business, don't get physical."

"Looks like your girlfriends didn't come with you today?" Leng Yulai crossed her arms and looked him over with interest.

“She’s not my girlfriend,” Qian Gu Xing Ci immediately corrected.

"Oh?" Leng Yulai raised an eyebrow, her smile becoming even more mischievous. "My mistake is that one of you is engaged, the other is your childhood sweetheart, and you even have a lackey following you around like a servant. You're quite the player."

"You investigated me?"

"I don't have that kind of free time." Leng Yulai shrugged, a hint of amusement in her voice. "Two people anonymously sent me these things. Guess who they are?"

It can't be that Xia Zheng Leng and Leng Yao Zhu have been secretly sharing their daily lives with Leng Yu Lai for decades, right?

For them, the most worthwhile thing to share after the birth of Qian Gu Xing Ci was the child.

As she was lost in thought, Leng Yulai leaned closer and said, "Speaking of which, if you take a fancy to that little princess of Xingluo, just tell me, and I'll tie her to your bed tonight, how about that?"

Qian Gu Xingci shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum: "There's absolutely no need for this!"

The older generation of powerful figures all said that Leng Yulai was a madwoman, and she certainly lived up to her reputation.

Seeing his eagerness to avoid her, Leng Yulai burst into laughter: "Then how about we dance together?"

Is he being used as Xia Zheng Leng's stand-in?

With a little time before the ball officially began, Qian Gu Xing Ci simply strolled around the banquet hall. Leng Yu Lai remained silent, slowly following beside him at a distance.

Leng Yulai's attitude towards him was strange, a mixture of love and hate.

As they walked, Qian Gu Xing Ci's footsteps stopped at the entrance of the exhibition hall.

The exhibition of luminous pearls and rare treasures from the deep sea.

Seated at the top of the display case is a deep-sea whale pearl the size of a fist. The pearl is round and translucent, gleaming with a faint blue light under the lamp, and its quality can be considered top-notch.

Next to the whale pearl was a teardrop-shaped crystal.

Mermaid Tears.

The aura emanating from it was quite peculiar; although extremely faint, it was somewhat similar to the aura of the Sea Princess that he had sensed on the first few floors of the Soul Tower.

It carries a very faint trace of golden bloodline.

Another incomplete sea princess?

Deep Sea Whale, Sea Princess, the prize pool keeps growing!

As the melodious classical music began to play, the gentle rhythm of the waltz flowed through the hall. Guests in the banquet hall found their dance partners, stepped onto the dance floor, and began to twirl and embrace each other.

A cool hand gently rested on Qian Gu Xing Ci's shoulder.

Leng Yulai appeared in front of him without his noticing, took his wrist with her other hand, and with a slight pull, led him onto the dance floor.

The slow rhythm of the duet made the pair seem particularly strange to onlookers.

One is a mature woman with an elegant figure and a commanding presence, and the other is a handsome young man with clear eyes and a youthful spirit.

The two of them standing together were quite eye-catching.

Qian Gu Xing Ci's identity is well-known throughout the Federation. Many people wanted to use the ball to make connections, but they were all intimidated by the aura emanating from Leng Yu Lai and dared not step forward.

Chapter 105 He's Different! An Unexpected Event Arrives as Expected

It wasn't until they saw the scene on the dance floor that the curious onlookers suddenly realized what was going on.

The journey of the ancient star was fraught with stumbles and falls.

So this is the Education Bureau!

"Clap."

With another soft sound, Qian Gu Xing Ci's heel landed precisely on Leng Yu Lai's instep once again.

Leng Yulai took a deep breath, her grip on his waist tightened suddenly, and she gritted her teeth: "Are you doing this on purpose?"

Qian Gu Xing Ci looked obedient and had innocent eyes: "No, Aunt Leng. I really don't know how."

Leng Yulai no longer resisted the title.

In fact, Qian Gu Xing Ci had never missed a class on etiquette. It's just that for a Soul Master standing at the top of the continent, such dances are rare, and he was too young to have learned ballroom dancing yet, so it was really like being forced into it.

"If you don't know how, I'll just step on it once or twice and treat it like taking a child to play with."

Leng Yulai looked at him, her temple twitching. "But you step on it every time, and every time it's precise. That's not because you don't know how, it's because you're doing it on purpose."

Just like taking a multiple-choice exam, it's difficult to get all the questions right, but it's equally difficult to get them all wrong.

Aside from some gluttonous, emperor-like tyrant, luck will inevitably play a part. The difficulty of consistently stepping on someone's foot is almost the same as consistently avoiding it.

Despite his grievances, Qian Gu Xing Ci was indignant: "I didn't check the almanac before I went out today, so I'll just consider this my fight against the evil spirit master."

Of course, the second half of the sentence was said telepathically.

Leng Yulai suddenly pinched his waist with her hand.

She replied telepathically, "Others may say that, but I didn't lay a hand on you."
