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

As the music began, Dong Qing quickly calmed down and stopped dwelling on his earlier misunderstanding of how he had comforted the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.

He admitted that he had overthought things, realizing that what he felt was not what he truly felt.

"Sister Na, what kind of music would you like to hear?"

Dong Qing sat cross-legged on a straw mat woven from blue silver grass, with a very valuable-looking ancient zither in front of him, his hands gently resting on the delicate and sturdy strings.

"Can I choose my own style?"

Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena lay on her side next to Dong Qing, propping her chin up with one arm, her long legs resting on Dong Qing's waist and abdomen, a hint of curiosity appearing on her beautiful face.

"Of course, I can. Putting aside everything else, I'm quite accomplished in music alone," Dong Qing said confidently.

"Then... let's play a cheerful, slightly poetic song!" Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena said softly.

“No problem, but I can only play the instrument, not sing, so you’ll have to do it yourself!” Dongqing nodded and said.

It's not that he can't sing, it's just that some of the lyrics are really unsuitable for a man to sing, and forcing him to do it would only give people an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

"Okay, Dongqing, you can accompany me. Give me the lyrics and sheet music."

Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena extended her jade hand to Dong Qing, signaling him to quickly hand over the lyrics and sheet music.

She wanted to see if Dong Qing was really as talented as the outside world said.

Music is not exclusive to humans; beautiful music is universal and can even be soul-stirring, regardless of differences in language, culture, or even thought.

Although Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena is not a great musician and her musical talent is far inferior to Tang Yuehua's, it is not difficult for her to understand the lyrics and sheet music.

A few minutes later.

The sound of the piano accompanied the singing.

While Dongqing played the music earnestly, Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena parted her red lips slightly and sang according to the lyrics and score.

"Crossing the towering mountains and the boundless ocean."

"If hope remains, spring will always come and flowers will bloom."

"Please stay here quietly, and let the dream sweep away the dust."

"The fragrance wafts outside the study, playing a beautiful melody."

Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena's voice was ethereal, melodious, and captivating, like heavenly music. Even after a long time, it lingered on, as if it were still echoing in one's ears.

Three minutes later, the piano music stopped, and the lyrics and music came to an end.

Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena's eyes flickered slightly, and she gently pursed her pink cherry lips, commenting, "The rhythm is a bit strange, but overall it's quite nice to listen to. Dongqing, do you have any sadder songs?"

Dong Qing did not answer Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena. Instead, he gave her a set of lyrics and sheet music for her to familiarize herself with.

A few minutes later.

As the accompaniment of Dongqing's guqin resounded once more, the distinctive voice of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, echoed along the shores of this deserted Lake of Life.

"What do I care about royal power and wealth? What do I care about rules and regulations?"

"My heart has been yearning for me for a thousand years, please take me far away and fly away."

"Why chant about good and evil, compassion and mercy? Why wait with bated breath?"

"Let me wither and turn to ashes in the next life, in exchange for being with you in this life."

......

Time flies, and two days later...

Chapter 572, Mere ants, easily destroyed with a flick of the wrist.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

With the source of the Blood Curse successfully resolved, the Spirit Hall's foundation was secure, and the two great empires stabilized internally.

During this period.

The newly added Blood Curse Infected were also purified by Dongqing using the Lotus Lantern, so there is no need to worry about new Blood Curse Infected appearing in the future.

Although only two days have passed, the changes across the entire continent have been significant.

For the first time, newspapers were printed in larger quantities, and two major news items were published in a week, directly informing the entire continent about the resolution of the unknown source of the infectious disease, the "Curse of Blood."

Dong Qing isn't the kind of person who does good deeds anonymously. He believes that if he does something good, people must know about it, otherwise he's unsure if he'll have the motivation to do good deeds in the future.

He never advocates doing good deeds anonymously. While such anonymous behavior may seem noble, it actually reduces the number of people willing to do good deeds.

People are naturally inclined towards fame and fortune. Those who do not seek fame or fortune are ultimately a tiny minority, and it is impossible to expect these few people to bring harmony to the country and society.

Doing good deeds is inherently honorable and nothing to be ashamed of.

You can speak out openly and honestly, thus becoming a role model for others and a guiding force for positive change.

When everyone takes pride in doing good deeds and helping others, why worry about the coldness between people?

When one day in the future, everyone makes doing good deeds a habit, something to be proud of, and something that can be talked about openly, society will become very harmonious.

Honestly.

Dong Qing isn't a saint either; she doesn't like to lecture people.

The main problem is that in the modern world of the super-god universe where he lived in his previous life, some unscrupulous businesses had fallen to a point where he couldn't understand their moral standards.

Now that Dong Qing controls the news newspaper, the only information interface on the entire continent, he still very much hopes that the moral standards of the people here can be higher.

At least we won't see the tragic situation where, after an elderly person falls, everyone is insecure, afraid of being scammed, and even if they want to help, they dare not lend a hand.

...........

In the Star Luo Empire, in Longxing City, there is an unnamed village outside the city.

It has been two days since Dongqing emerged from the Star Dou Great Forest.

Bibi Dong and her group returned to their original place, while the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena transformed into a classical beauty and followed him to an ordinary village outside Longxing City of the Star Luo Empire.

As agreed.

Dongqing needs to accompany her to various cities and villages in the human world, showing her the scenery and customs of different places.

This period of time is very long.

If Dongqing accompanied Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena to every city and village on the Douluo Continent, showing her the scenery of each place, even if he now possesses the red flag that allows him to fly, it would still take at least fifteen years.

Dongqing certainly wouldn't accompany her aimlessly for fifteen years across the continent for no reason, even if the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena herself didn't care about the passage of time at all.

But he cares!

Even if you include the time he spent in the real world of the Super God Universe, plus the time he spent living in the world of Douluo Continent, Dong Qing's life experience is only a few decades.

He wasn't like the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, who had tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of years of life experience and had long since lost any sense of urgency about the passage of time.

and so.

Dongqing only agreed to accompany the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena for a maximum of three months, after which they would each return to where they belonged.

In this regard.

Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena was certainly dissatisfied, but she had no choice but to reluctantly agree to Dong Qing's request, as she had no other option.

However, she also had a condition: if he wanted to contact Dong Qing in the future, he was not allowed to pretend he couldn't hear her and had to respond to her immediately after receiving her mental transmission.

Dong Qing felt somewhat uncomfortable about this, as it reminded him of the time in the Super God Universe when he was harassed by phone by a beautiful policewoman named Qi Lin.

[Fragments of Memories of Earth and the Universe]

"Dongqing, we clearly agreed that we would join the police force together after graduation to maintain the security of Juxia City, but you chose to lie low right after graduation?"

As soon as he unlocked his phone, a very loud sound came from it. Dong Qing rolled over and picked up the phone from the bedside table.

"I'm not lying down. I just graduated, I just want to rest for a bit!" Dong Qing sighed.

At that time, he had just graduated and just wanted to lie down and not do anything. Yet someone tried to pull him into a nine-to-five job. Wasn't that bullying an honest person?

"Heh, Dongqing, the rest you're talking about is spending all your time online playing games and watching live streams, and giving rewards to that vixen Su Xiaoli? That vixen must call you 'brother' a lot behind your back!" a pretty policewoman sneered.

After coughing a few times, Dong Qing quickly explained, "Cough cough cough... Qi Lin, you may have misunderstood. I have no relationship with Su Xiaoli. I just went to appreciate traditional Chinese dance. And you know what? She is really good at traditional Chinese dance. It seems like she studied at a professional drama academy."

Upon hearing this...

The pretty policewoman wrinkled her cute little nose and almost smashed the phone she was holding.

She muttered a few words under her breath, seemingly cursing a certain scumbag who dared to look up and watch other women dance when she wasn't looking.

After a while.

She had just calmed down when she snorted and said, "Is that so? Although I don't usually watch live streams, I know very well that these female streamers are all incredibly materialistic. You just graduated and don't have a job, so where did you get the money to tip her?"

“I........” Dong Qing scratched his head.

"If you dare to embezzle or break the law, I, Qi Lin, will be the first to not let you off the hook. Tell me now, and I might... make an exception for you this once, just this once!"

The beautiful policewoman originally intended to be impartial and incorruptible, but in the end, she went against her principles and betrayed her inner convictions for the sake of a man.

Dong Qing quickly said, "No, no, no, it's not that serious, it's not that serious. Qi Lin, don't overthink it. Things aren't as complicated as you think. I haven't embezzled or broken the law. All this money has a legitimate source."

"I don't believe it! When you were in school with me, I never noticed you had any talent for making money. Besides making me angry, what else could you do?"

The pretty policewoman's tone was full of disbelief. How could she not know what this scoundrel was capable of?

"Well, I only just found out that Yu Niang is so rich. She kept it from me for over ten years. I just want to experience a decadent lifestyle now, not the kind of 'lying down' you're imagining," Dong Qing explained.

"Dongqing, as the most outstanding graduate of the police academy, you also experienced a life of corruption. Don't you feel ashamed to say such a thing?"

The pretty policewoman was speechless. If Dongqing were in front of her right now, she really wanted to ride on him and beat him up, to show him why the flowers were so red.

"A month, please let me rest for a month, and I'll go with you to the interview. As for whether they'll even consider me, that's another matter," Dong Qing promised helplessly.

"You said it yourself. If I don't see you in a month, even if it offends Yu Niang, I will drag you out of the abyss of corruption," the pretty policewoman said resolutely.

"Don't worry, I, Dongqing, keep my word. When have I ever lied to you? I'm your best male friend, someone you can talk to about anything!"

"You idiot, Dongqing! Are you stupid? What kind of pure friendship exists between men and women?!"

"No, I don't want someone to control me right now. I've only been a rich kid for a short time."

"Who cares about you? You talk like you're so popular. Even if I, Qilin, stay single for the rest of my life, I will never look at a stinky man like you."

"Well said, then stop calling me every morning to bother me! Can't you just let me have a few days of peace and quiet this month?"
