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

But the problem is...

Liu Erlong is Dong Qing's confidante. Unless Zi Ji is prepared to fight Dong Qing to the death, she is unlikely to actually attack someone close to him.

Moreover.

The Fire Dragon Martial Soul, a dragon-attribute martial soul, inherently gave Zi Ji a sense of closeness.

Among the humans present, apart from Dong Qing, even if she suddenly went mad and wanted to kill everyone, she would not want to kill Liu Erlong, who possessed the Fire Dragon Martial Soul.

As for why Liu Erlong dared to provoke Zi Ji?

the reason is simple.

She simply realized that Dongqing held a very important position in Ziji's eyes; otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to provoke a pure-blooded true dragon with a thousand-meter-long purple-black demonic dragon body.

As the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, even though it's just a commoner advanced soul master academy, the darkness and reality he encounters are absolutely unimaginable to ordinary people.

Over the decades, Blue Tyrant Academy has flourished, and Liu Erlong, who holds the position of dean, has long since become a woman with a deep mind.

Her seemingly fiery and easily angered temper was merely a facade; only in private, in front of Dong Qing, would she quietly shed that disguise.

The argument and the slander against the Dragon Clan that Liu Erlong had just made were simply a test of her man Dongqing's standing in the hearts of Ziji and the others.

"Dongqing, I can give you this face, and I'm too lazy to bother with that stupid dragon."

Liu Erlong disliked Dongqing's adventurous ways; she longed for a secluded life.

She was a devoted wife and mother, supporting and cherishing each other through thick and thin.

The above eight characters.

This was Liu Erlong's true inner thought. She didn't crave romance at all; she only wanted to stay with Dong Qing, the man who had conquered her, for a long, long time.

Some people might ask, then what about Yu Xiaogang?

He is just a thing of the past, a stranger who is gradually fading away.

Everyone has a first love, and first love is hard to forget.

Women are different from men.

Men can hardly forget their first love, while women can hardly forget the man who took their virginity. Fortunately, Dongqing was the man who took Liu Erlong's virginity.

Of course, this first time must be voluntary. Qian Xunji, who did it against all reason and forced it, is the best example of this.

..........

the other side.

After temporarily calming Zi Ji and Liu Erlong down, Dong Qing looked at Bibi Dong standing to the side.

"Teacher, let me talk to her. This is something we've already discussed. If we can reach an agreement smoothly, that would be great. If not, we'll discuss it again later."

Regarding Dongqing's decision.

Bibi Dong didn't object; she simply nodded silently, since this was something they had already discussed.

Honestly.

If possible, she wouldn't want Dongqing to take the risk of negotiating with this pure-blooded true dragon alone. The problem is, there are some things she has no choice but to do.

Moreover.

Bibi Dong knew that Dong Qing always carried a small red flag and a Lotus Lantern, two items that seemed to be divine artifacts protecting him in secret, so she wasn't too worried about Dong Qing's safety.

Otherwise.

Bibi Dong would definitely not let Dong Qing go on an adventure alone, even though she and the others could arrive at Dong Qing's side at any time.

Another problem is...

As long as the source of the Blood Curse is not resolved, the Spirit Hall cannot truly stabilize.

That's right.

Bibi Dong herself admitted that she did indeed have the idea of ​​destroying the entire Spirit Hall and wanted to completely destroy the Spirit Hall of Qian Xunji and Qian Daoliu's family.

But the problem is.

After she had Dong Qing as her disciple, under his subtle influence, she gradually gave up her idea of ​​destroying the Spirit Hall and launching the Soul Hunting Plan to establish the Spirit Empire.

Because Bibi Dong wanted to pass the position of Pope of the Spirit Hall to Dong Qing, she wanted to leave this number one spirit master organization on the continent to her disciple.

Regarding this point.

To be honest, Qian Daoliu really had no objections. After all, his granddaughter Qian Renxue's husband was Dong Qing, and now Dong Qing could be considered his grandson-in-law.

The position of Pope of the Spirit Hall was passed on to his grandson-in-law, which was essentially a succession from the same lineage. What objection could he, as the grandfather, possibly have?

As for establishing the Martial Soul Empire.

Seriously speaking.

In fact, when he was unemployed before, Dong Qing had also studied the political situation on the Douluo Continent. In a hurry, he destroyed the three upper sects and eliminated all resistance forces to establish the Martial Soul Empire.

While this forced unification was quick, it had significant side effects. The imperial army's conquests resulted in the deaths of millions of innocent civilians.

There was no other way; the Spirit Hall itself had no foundation. If it wanted to forcibly establish the Spirit Empire, it would inevitably have to fight to the death with those who were loyal to the country.

Compared to this straightforward approach, Dongqing prefers the gradual, gentle approach.

If it were the Heavenly Dou Empire conquering the Star Luo Empire, the resistance from the common people under the rule of the two empires would not be so fierce, and far fewer people would die.

This isn't because Dong Qing is a saintly type; rather, the significance of unifying the continent and establishing a Martial Soul Empire is not that important to him.

Take it slow, you're long-lived anyway.

......

Ten minutes later.

The core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest, the Lake of Life, on its shore.

A six-year-old boy, with his arms crossed, sat on the shoulders of a two-meter-tall woman. Just before he was about to enter a pale blue spatial entrance, he jumped off her shoulders.

"Wait, Zi Ji, do you mean I need to enter your special extradimensional space to see the Silver Dragon King you mentioned?"

"Yes, little Qingqing, come with me."

"I'm sorry, I can't go!"

"why?"

"My teacher and Erlong both left spiritual imprints on me. As long as I don't leave the Star Dou Great Forest, I can sense my physical condition."

"so what?"

“If I go into this space with you, they will be very worried outside. They… I don’t want to, and I don’t want them to worry about me.”

Dong Qing could clearly feel the two distinct spiritual imprints on her body, as well as their constant questioning of her safety.

Putting aside the fact that this was to avoid worrying them, as a very prudent man, he would not rashly step into other spaces.

This isn't the small world inside the Sky Shuttle; it's a completely unfamiliar space. How could he possibly step into the space Zi Ji was talking about without any preparation?

"Really, Qingqing, I'm not trying to be mean, but what's so great about those human women? If you really like women, I can introduce you to a few transformed soul beasts that are over 100,000 years old. They're definitely much prettier than your two pink and tender rabbits. If all else fails, how about Biji? I can introduce her to you too."

Without hesitation, Zi Ji betrayed her best friend and sister Bi Ji, without the slightest change in her expression.

"Leaving those aside for now, all that pink and tender stuff... Um... Zi Ji, are you talking about Xiao Wu and A Rou?" Dong Qing couldn't help but scratch his head and ask.

"Who else could it be but the mother and daughter, especially Xiao Wu. I remember her now, she's the Xiao Wu that the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were talking about. It's funny to think about it. Those two 100,000-year-old licking dog soul beasts worked so hard for so long, but in the end, this mother and daughter were still won over by you, Xiao Qingqing."

As she spoke, Zi Ji complained, her eyes filled with disdain.

"Don't talk nonsense. Arou is my mother-in-law. I don't have any strange ideas," Dongqing quickly said.

"Heh, little Qingqing, just because you don't have it doesn't mean she doesn't," Zi Ji said, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Purple Princess, don't talk nonsense, I'll get angry."

Dongqing tried his best to put on a serious face, but with his height and build of only six years old, forcing a serious expression only made him look extremely cute.

"Little Qingqing, you just don't understand soul beasts. For a hundred-thousand-year-old Soft-Boned Charming Rabbit like them..."

Before Zi Ji could finish speaking, a silver-haired woman slowly walked out from the pale blue entrance to the space.

Chapter 568, I come from Holy Soul Village, my grandfather.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Gu Yuena. You can call me Sister Na!"

The voice was ethereal, as if it came from the depths of one's mind.

Dong Qing turned his head and saw a silver-haired woman wearing a plain white dress, walking barefoot on the grass, slowly walking towards where he and Zi Ji were.

Her face was somewhat pale, and she didn't look very healthy, as if she hadn't fully recovered from a serious illness. There was a special charm between her delicate eyebrows that made people feel sorry for her.

I don't know why.

When Dongqing's gaze falls upon her, he can't help but feel a deep desire to protect her, to cherish this silver-haired woman before him.

"Hello, my name is Dong Qing. You can call me by my real name."

Dong Qing slapped away the hand that was groping his head and barely escaped Zi Ji's clutches. He strode up to the silver-haired woman.

Because of his unusual name, calling him "Brother Qing" directly sounds like flirting with women. For people of equal status, Dong Qing usually asks them to call him by his real name.

seriously.

Now he understands a little better what Zi Ji meant by "pink and tender". Nowadays, apart from Xiao Wu, no other woman is willing to call him Brother Qing.

For example, even if Liu Erlong is completely devoured by her, she will only call him "husband" when they are secretly exchanging gifts.

"Dongqing, meaning 'the blue sky is in the east,' is a nice name." As Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena spoke, she squatted down and gently stroked Dongqing's handsome cheek with her slender hand.

“Gu Yue Na, a name that evokes the image of a graceful woman dancing under the bright moon in ancient times. Your name is also quite nice,” Dong Qing said softly.

[Ancient] [Translation: Ancient, antiquated.]

[Moon] [Translation: The moon, the bright moon, the clear moon.]

[娜] [Translation: Graceful, elegant, and graceful.]

Dong Qing extracted the meaning of one word from each of the three translated characters and combined them into a simple phrase of praise.

As for whether his offhand remark sounded good or not, and whether it conveyed the meaning of the name Gu Yuena.
