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

Chapter 534, Hmph hmph hmph... Lying down is so good, so comfortable!

It was nearing noon, the sun was high in the sky, and white clouds were drifting by.

In the northern part of Poseidon City, inside a beautifully decorated private room of a restaurant.

The private room was very large, with huge, transparent floor-to-ceiling windows that offered a clear view of the beautiful scenery outside. A slightly salty sea breeze blew in through the half-open window.

Three people were sitting around a round table, three meters by three meters, which could seat seven or eight people. Dong Qing sat between the Sea Witch and Tang Yuehua with an extremely unnatural expression.

On the table were various kinds of rare seafood. If these rare seafood were taken out and sold in Tiandou City, each serving would be worth at least a thousand gold soul coins.

"They're so happy today, really happy, because they met a kindred spirit in music. This meal is on me!"

Sea Witch Douluo raised a transparent crystal glass and tilted her head back to gulp down the icy blue liquid inside.

"Um, I..."

Just as Dong Qing was about to speak, the Sea Witch interrupted him, saying, "Stop being so chauvinistic. Don't talk about this and that. Those gold soul coins from your mainland don't work well on Seagod Island. Gold soul coins aren't popular here."

"Um... alright, Your Majesty the Sea Witch, you've gone to great lengths."

Dong Qing's lips twitched slightly. Whether he was a chauvinist or not was another matter, but he certainly had no intention of helping to pay the bill.

But to tell the truth at this moment would definitely be a slap in the face, and a severe one at that. Even if he has very poor emotional intelligence, he wouldn't tell the truth at this time.

Since she misunderstood, let her misunderstand; let's treat it as a beautiful misunderstanding.

At this time.

Tang Yuehua, who was standing to the side, saw Dong Qing's discomfiture and a smile quietly crept onto her lips. However, she did not say anything and just quietly watched Dong Qing.

For her.

Dong Qing's identity is complex and special. She is her student in the field of music, the man who has taken her man, and the enemy of her second brother Tang Hao and her nephew Tang San.

Not only had his second sister-in-law, Blue Silver Emperor A Yin, been transformed by him countless times, but now even her belly was swollen. Furthermore, his nephew, Tang San, had died in prison because of him.

To know.

Although Tang San was somewhat guilty of reaping what he sowed, he was not being suppressed by Dong Qing, the Holy Son.

Many things are destined to be neither fair nor just, and are difficult to handle in accordance with the law.

Tang Yuehua understood very well that without Dong Qing suppressing them...

Perhaps it was his nephew Tang San, the genius soul master of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, a close friend of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, and a good brother of Yu Tianheng of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Within a few days, he was released from Blackstone Prison on bail by a teacher from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

People with connections are definitely different; even if they break the law, their actions can be mitigated or even ignored.

This principle has remained true throughout history.

But unfortunately.

Tang San provoked Xiao Wu, and by provoking Dong Qing's people, he naturally didn't get away with it.

No one can help him; we can only handle it impartially.

the most important is.

Yesterday, when Dong Qing was personally teaching Tang Yuehua the Xuan Tian Gong, he had already explained to her Tang San's identity as a soul from another world, as well as his devouring and possession of Xiao San's body.

Therefore, Tang Yuehua didn't feel anything about Tang San's death. After all, her own nephew, Xiao San, had his body taken over by the cruel and ruthless Tang San a long time ago.

As for her second brother Tang Hao's affairs, Tang Yuehua knew in her heart that once his deception of Blue Silver Emperor A Yin was exposed, their marital relationship would definitely break down completely.

Tang Hao, known as the founder of the Haotian Sect, fought against three titled Douluo single-handedly. Unfortunately, Qian Xunji died unexpectedly in the end, causing him to lose his qualification as the successor of the Haotian Sect.

Driven by greed, Tang San attempted to assassinate Xiao Wu for the rare medicinal herbs, unaware that Dong Qing was watching closely. In the end, Tang San's soul was completely annihilated by his nemesis, Ghost Douluo.

Every time Tang Yuehua thinks about the fate of this father and son, she can't help but sigh that it was indeed preordained that Heaven arranged for them to be father and son.

One is driven by fame, the other by profit; both are scum.

......

Leaving aside Tang Yuehua's inner thoughts at this moment.

The Sea Witch Douluo waved her hand generously and said, "There's no need for such formalities between us. We are kindred spirits in music, and this little bit of money is nothing at all."

"Small change?"

Dong Qing glanced at the table full of seafood, a single serving of soul beast meat worth at least a thousand gold soul coins in Tian Dou City, blinked, and didn't refute her.

"This table would cost at least tens of thousands of gold soul coins in Tiandou City," Tang Yuehua thought to herself.

The time that follows.

The three of them ate and chatted, and the guests enjoyed themselves immensely.

As for the so-called "not speaking while eating or sleeping," in a sense, that's just a way to fool children, hoping that these kids won't be too noisy.

About thirty minutes later.

The three, having eaten and drunk their fill, were in high spirits. Led by the Sea Witch Douluo, they strolled leisurely toward the Sea God Temple in the center of the main island of Sea God Island.

"She's 136 years old this year, but that's the age of merfolk, it doesn't count. Converted to your human age, she's only 13 years old!"

Sea Witch Douluo blinked her big eyes and pouted cutely at the same time.

"It doesn't count?" Dong Qing's expression was strange.

Good grief, do you think you can make people ignore the passage of hundreds of years just by saying that?

One hundred and thirty-six years old is one hundred and thirty-six years old. At most, you can say that you are not mentally old.

"Of course it doesn't count. Merfolk are different from humans. Their lifespans are too different. That's how their ages are calculated. By the way, Prince Dongqing, don't just talk about me. How old are you?" the sea witch asked curiously.

She didn't know much about Dong Qing herself from Poseidon. Although she was a Title Douluo of the Seven Sacred Pillars, she had the ability and the right to be involved in matters concerning the continent.

But she really hadn't read the news or newspapers much. Dealing with the internal disputes among the merfolk was enough to annoy her, so she had no time to learn about things on the mainland.

"How old am I?" Dong Qing pointed to himself. This was the first time someone had asked him his age.

Sea Witch Douluo nodded and said, "Of course, once a Soul Master awakens their innate Soul Power at the age of six and begins to cultivate it, their body will continue to develop ahead of schedule."

"Basically, a person grows to look like an eighteen-year-old by the age of twelve. In many cases, one must use soul power to examine bone age in order to accurately determine a person's true age."

Well known.

Soul power itself has the ability to accelerate the maturation of the body. On the continent, many children start cultivating soul power at the age of six, and by the age of twelve, they are no different from normal eighteen-year-olds.

This is also why Dongqing made Lan Yinhuang A Yin and Liu Erlong pregnant. Of course, if it were an ordinary person, they would have been drained dry by so many women long ago.

If it weren't for the pure bloodline of the Heavenly Horned Ant, which provided him with an inexhaustible source of vital energy, Dong Qing might have truly loved only Hu Liena for his entire life.

At this time.

Dong Qing glanced at Tang Yuehua, who looked on with curiosity, and at the Sea Witch Douluo, who was staring intently at him. He stroked his chin, pondering how to answer the question.

Sea Witch Douluo doesn't know, which is understandable. But how come Tang Yuehua doesn't know her own age?

A few seconds passed.

"Speaking of which, I'm not young anymore. I'm already fifteen years old in the real sense, sixteen in the traditional sense, seventeen in the old sense, and eighteen in the new sense. In a few more years, I'll probably be a thirty-year-old uncle," Dong Qing couldn't help but sigh.

"Do all humans calculate age this way? Or is it only people on your continent who calculate their true age like Prince Dongqing?"

The Sea Witch Douluo stared at Dong Qing and Tang Yuehua with great confusion. She didn't understand and found it strange that age calculation could be divided into several different stages.

"Xiaoqing, stop fooling around..."

Upon hearing Dong Qing say that he was fifteen years old, Tang Yuehua felt a sudden surge of guilt, realizing that the young man she had taken was far too tender.

It's not her fault. Dong Qing usually looks like a sunny young man of about eighteen, and he doesn't have the naivety of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old.

When she first met Dongqing, he was already fourteen years old, so she naturally couldn't tell his real age. Moreover, Dongqing had never mentioned it to her.

so......

She naturally didn't know Dong Qing's real age, assuming he was about the same age as Hu Liena.

"Okay, let's not get into that. I'm fifteen this year, but today is December 31st, 2647 of the Douluo Calendar, and it's the last day of the year. After today, I'll be sixteen." Dong Qing shrugged and said.

That's what they say.

In fact, he himself was not sure how to calculate his age, because he had already lived in China, the Earth of the Super God Universe, for twenty-three years.

The combined age of the two worlds is well over thirty.

However, he transmigrated in his original form, and his body was nourished by the spiritual energy of this world, reversing his birth and returning to his infancy. His body is currently indeed that of a fifteen-year-old.

Dong Qing thought about it for a moment and came to a conclusion.

"My physical age is undoubtedly fifteen, but my mental age is probably over thirty."

Thinking about this...

He looked at the mermaid in front of him, whose physical age was over 130, and at her innocent expression, which was like that of a 13-year-old girl. He couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of life.

But he himself knew it too.

If I hadn't experienced the information explosion on Earth in the Super God Universe, my mental age would probably be much younger than that of the Sea Witch Douluo.

......

An hour later.

The central area of ​​the main island of Poseidon's Temple, the Temple of Poseidon, the Light of Poseidon.

The Light of Poseidon is, in essence, the staircase to the Temple of Poseidon, with a total of 330 steps, each step exerting half the pressure of the previous one.

To climb the 330 steps, one needs at least the strength of an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

"Ahhh! I'm about to collapse. More than a month has passed, and I've only managed to climb ten steps at most. As for the eleventh step, I keep falling down every time I try to climb it."

"Although rolling down from above won't get your face covered in dirt thanks to the protection of your soul power, it would be troublesome if you accidentally fell into the inner sea and got your clothes wet."

"Sister, you climb by yourself. I'll slowly cultivate my soul power on the tenth step. The speed of soul power cultivation here is comparable to the legendary large-scale simulated cultivation environment."

Shui Yue'er was lying motionless on the tenth step, spread out in a starfish shape, like a lazy salted fish that was too lazy to turn over, tilting her head to look down at the azure inland sea.

The inner sea in her eyes was not a real sea, but a moat of moderate size built around the Temple of the Sea God, surrounding the temple.

However, calling it a moat is not entirely accurate, as the moat is filled with pure seawater.
