Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

The reason why we need the support of the three upper sects is actually unavoidable.

The Heavenly Dou Empire differs from the Star Luo Empire in that it has many kingdoms and duchies within its borders, resulting in a decentralized imperial power. This is why Emperor Xue Ye was unable to do anything to Xue Qinghe [Qian Renxue] before.

To contend with the current strongest nation, the Star Luo Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire must gain the support of the three upper sects in order to barely manage a draw with the Star Luo Empire.

Of course, the reason why the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has switched sides so quickly, and why the military, political circles, and even the royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire are so inclined to Xue Qinghe [Qian Renxue], is entirely because of Dong Qing, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.

Although the Spirit Hall is a spirit master organization, it is essentially more like a religion, a charitable organization that provides stipends to spirit masters all over the world.

However, it is undeniable that the Spirit Hall favors whichever empire, and that empire has a significant advantage.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun are sisters from the Star Luo Empire and possess the direct bloodline of the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Empire would probably be in a panic long ago.

They certainly didn't want to see the once-powerful Spirit Hall completely side with the Heaven Dou Empire at this crucial moment. Fortunately, Dong Qing seemed to have investments in both sides.

On one hand, she accepts the sisters Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun as her followers, and on the other hand, she is also on friendly terms with Xue Qinghe [Qian Renxue], the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire.

To outsiders, Dong Qing is an old coin, a master of manipulating power and balance.

Although Dong Qing didn't think much about it when he first met Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun, he unintentionally made the world misunderstand him as a master of political maneuvering.

...........

Just when Dong Qing thought the conversation was about to end, what Yu Luomian and Liu Yuyan said next almost made him drop his full set of flawless white teeth.

"Your Highness Dongqing, I have another matter, but I'm not sure... whether I should speak it or not." Yu Luomian looked somewhat conflicted; it was clear he was hesitant to say what he was about to say.

"Speak your mind. Don't forget, we're friends now. Since we're friends, let's not keep things to ourselves, right?" Dong Qing said calmly.

In his view.

The reason this Yu Luomian is acting so conflicted is simply because he has some personal favor to ask of me. If the benefits are good enough and he is satisfied, I might as well help him out.

Hearing Dong Qing say this, the conflicted look on Yu Luomian's face faded considerably, and she gained more confidence in what he was about to say.

"Here's what happened. A month ago, Erlong and I made a bet. If Your Highness Dongqing agrees to accept her, she will agree to offer herself to you and pledge allegiance to you from now on."

"As Erlong's biological parents, the reason we did this is simply to hope that she can get out of the shadow of her past relationship as soon as possible and not continue to wallow in it."

"With Erlong's talent, if she hadn't been burdened by emotions, we believe she would have successfully advanced to the Title Douluo level ten years ago, becoming the second Title Douluo of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Yu Luomian kept talking on and on, and by the end, his tone was full of regret.

Being a Title Douluo doesn't simply mean standing at the pinnacle of the Soul Master world; it also signifies an evolution in one's level of life.

Once one breaks through to the Title Douluo realm, they receive a lifespan bonus of up to three hundred years, and for each subsequent level advancement, they receive an additional one hundred years of lifespan bonus, enough to make many people flock to it.

to be frank.

Liu Erlong was delayed by Yu Xiaogang for so many years. If he weren't the son of Yu Yuanzhen, the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Luomian and Liu Yuyan would probably have dealt with this man long ago.

......

After Yu Luomian finished speaking, Liu Yuyan continued, "Unfortunately, emotions are a weapon that can hurt people. Because of someone, Erlong's will was depressed for many years. Twenty years ago she was an eight-ring Soul Douluo, and twenty years later she is still an eight-ring Soul Douluo."

"But thankfully... it's not too late. Erlong still has time to transform herself. As long as she can get rid of the influence of her past relationship and break through the threshold of Title Douluo, it will definitely not be a difficult thing for her."

"If Your Highness Dongqing really doesn't like Erlong, you can pretend to agree. After all, we can understand, since Erlong's age is indeed too far from Your Highness Dongqing's."

Liu Yuyan's voice wasn't loud; although it sounded old and hoarse, her tone was very sincere.

As an octogenarian with one foot in the grave, she really hoped that Dongqing would agree to their request, to this seemingly absurd thing.

at this time,

After listening to Yu Luomian and Liu Yuyan's words, Dong Qing fell into deep thought.

Should I accept Liu Erlong, that tigress?

It's simply... outrageous! It's outrageous to the extreme! Putting everything else aside, if they don't fight every other day, it would be a disservice to her fiery temper.

No, I absolutely have to refuse. Only an idiot would accept a fierce woman.

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuyun, Bai Chenxiang, Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, Hu Liena, Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, Tang Yuehua, Li Yuexian, Li Yuemei, Mei Xiangxue, Lan Yinhuang A Yin, and Nv Tianjiao Yi Yu Niang.

Tell me, apart from Ning Rongrong, which of them wasn't kind to her?

Wait... something seems off. Why are there so many women around me?

It's truly astonishing how much he's done; Dong Qing himself was completely dumbfounded when he calculated it all. It turns out that he's attracted so many women over the years.

Although not all of these women had that kind of relationship with him, they were all very close, and he could even win them over if he made an effort.

Dong Qing suddenly understood Liu Erlong a little. Although she had called him a scumbag, she didn't seem to have any faults. He did have too many women around him.

......

Just then, Liu Erlong, who had somehow crept over, looked at the composed Yu Luomian and Liu Yuyan, but found nothing unusual.

But when she saw Dong Qing, she couldn't help but say something sarcastic, "You scumbag Qing, I didn't expect you to have such talent in music. The song you taught Xiao Wu was very nice. The only pity is that you were the one who created it."

After a few seconds of silence.

Dong Qing did not refute her statement, but merely gave her a cold look.

Hmm... Since you, Liu Erlong, like calling me a scumbag so much, I'd really be letting you down if I didn't scumbag you back this time.

Foolish woman! You will pay a bloody price for those three words. I will show you what true scum is.

"Ahem, I agree to what you two just said." Dong Qing glanced coldly at Liu Erlong, already having a hundred ways to do it in his mind.

Women... there are consequences for cursing; you'll have to pay for it with blood.

These words were spoken.

Yu Luomian and Liu Yuyan's expressions changed immediately, and they turned to look at Liu Erlong, who was standing beside them and had no idea that he had been sold by his biological parents.

From this moment on, this unruly female Tyrannosaurus Rex was ultimately reduced to a domesticated female dragon.

Chapter 388, I never intended to keep any promises back then.

In the pavilion.

“Erlong, you’ve come at the right time. Since His Highness Dongqing is willing to accept you, shouldn’t you also fulfill your original promise?” Yu Luomian said solemnly.

Liu Erlong: ? ? ?

What promises do I need to keep?

Followed by.

Liu Erlong's head was buzzing, as if she had remembered something—a bet she had long forgotten, something she thought was completely impossible.

She glanced at Dongqing, then at herself, her pupils dilating instantly. Her fair, jade-like face displayed an expression of utter disbelief.

Are you a pervert? I'm almost fifty years old, and although I'm still... young and beautiful, you wouldn't go so far as to lay a hand on an old aunt like me.

Liu Erlong looked at Dong Qing with extremely complicated eyes. She never expected that Dong Qing would agree to such a fantastical thing.

In her view, the probability of this happening is equivalent to the Spirit Hall Pope and the Spirit Hall Holy Son having an improper relationship in private.

This is utterly outrageous...

But this absurd thing actually happened to me.

For a moment, Liu Erlong didn't know how to answer Yu Luomian's question.

Fulfill the promise?

I never intended to keep any promises. Damn it, what am I supposed to do now?

Liu Erlong's expression kept changing, and his thoughts began to churn.

She wanted to run away.

But running away won't solve the problem; on the contrary, she might be caught and brought back. What's most infuriating is that she knows very well that she can't beat Dong Qing.

Denying responsibility?

She wasn't like Li Qiyun, a shameless person who could openly say in front of everyone, "I'm not admitting defeat, what can you do about it?"

Are we just going to accept our fate?

Liu Erlong believed that as a virgin, she absolutely could not let a philandering scumbag like Dong Qing fall into her lap.

so what should I do now?

In those few short minutes, Liu Erlong couldn't come up with a good solution, so he could only turn to his biological mother, Liu Yuyan, for help.

Unfortunately...

Noticing Liu Erlong's pleading look, Liu Yuyan said very seriously, "Erlong, I have taught you since you were little that you must be honest and trustworthy. If you promise someone something, you must do it."

Although she didn't know why Dongqing suddenly changed his mind, judging from his facial expression before, he had clearly intended to refuse.

Wait, could it be... because of that sentence?

Liu Yuyan immediately thought of the careless words Liu Erlong had just uttered.

Scumbag Qing...

Honestly, if it were the old Liu Yuyan, she would never have agreed, but now, for the sake of Liu Erlong being able to let go of the past, she believes she can accept this situation.

At this time.

Hearing his own mother say the same thing, Liu Erlong seemed at a loss for words, standing there stammering and not knowing what to say.

Upon witnessing this scene.

Yu Luomian and Liu Yuyan exchanged a glance. As if they were of one mind, they stood up together and said in unison, "Your Highness Dongqing, since you have agreed, we hope you will take good care of the two dragons. We, as husband and wife, will not disturb you any longer."

Done.

Yu Luomian stretched out his aged hand and took Liu Yuyan's equally aged hand in his. They glanced back at Liu Erlong, nodded slightly, and then left the courtyard at a leisurely pace.

Looking at their hunched backs, unable to straighten up, Liu Erlong's initial intention to break his promise faded slightly, no longer filled with thoughts of going back on his word.

Unbeknownst to me, they have grown old. This time, perhaps I shouldn't disappoint them again, becoming a weakling who is immersed in the past and doesn't even dare to face the memories.

I used to be their pride...

But without realizing it, I became a stain on their reputation.

With my benign mutated martial soul, the Fire Dragon, I was originally destined to become a Title Douluo. Unfortunately, I wasted decades of my life in the past.

Perhaps... I should keep my promise and start a new life.
