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

that's it.

Dong Qing temporarily put aside the troublesome divinely bestowed soul ring and stopped studying it. He played and joked with Ning Rongrong, keeping this young woman who had lost her purity because of him company.

A few hours later.

As Ning Rongrong peacefully fell asleep in Dong Qing's arms, he finally escaped from the clutches of this clingy young woman.

.........

The valley floor of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye Valley.

The valley floor is lush and verdant due to the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making it a place that refreshes the mind and spirit. Cultivating soul power here is essentially equivalent to creating a large-scale simulated cultivation environment outside that costs hundreds of millions of gold soul coins.

Besides the picturesque Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye Lake at the very center, many rare medicinal herbs also grow around the valley floor.

Beside a young, celestial-grade medicinal herb sat an extremely beautiful woman with delicate features, who seemed to be somewhat in love with Ning Rongrong.

"Mother-in-law, why are you still here?" Dong Qing asked in surprise.

"What do you mean? Can't I be here?" Xueyan retorted.

"Didn't Rongrong tell you to go back?" Dongqing continued to ask.

"I'm not going back. What would I do if I went back?" Xueyan said coldly.

Seeing that the woman's temper was flaring up again, Dong Qing was too lazy to argue with her. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, I won't say anything more to you. Stay as long as you like."

finished,

He was about to leave.

But the next moment.

"You can't leave yet, I have something to ask you." Xueyan pressed down on Dongqing's shoulder.

"What is it?" Dongqing asked dismissively.

Just when Dongqing thought that Xueyan wanted to ask about Ning Rongrong and herself, what she blurted out next completely shocked Dongqing.

"The current Emperor Qinghe, Xue Qinghe, is not the real person, is he?" Xue Yan's voice carried a hint of coldness.

"Mother-in-law, what are you saying? What do you mean that the Qinghe Emperor is not the real person? She and I are as close as brothers." Dong Qing's tone was very puzzled, and his expression was also blank and confused.

"You really don't know?" Xueyan narrowed her eyes.

"I really don't know." Dong Qing nodded.

Xueyan pressed her jade-like arms against Dongqing's shoulders. She stared intently into Dongqing's eyes, but ultimately couldn't discern anything amiss.

Several minutes passed.

Xueyan took a deep breath and said softly, "An hour ago, I went back to the Heavenly Dou Palace, but Qinghe gave me a very strange feeling, even though his appearance, martial soul, and personality haven't changed."

"But I still sensed a strong sense of incongruity. He didn't seem like a man; he seemed more like a woman disguised as a man."

"So... Mother-in-law, do you think Emperor Qinghe is a fake?" Dong Qing gently pried the hand off his shoulder and pushed away Xue Yan, who was almost pressed against him.

"No, I can't be sure either. The Qinghe I know is the Qinghe from more than ten years ago, but even so, I still feel that the current Qinghe Emperor is not the little Qinghe I know at all," Xueyan said solemnly.

"Boys change as they grow up."

“No, Dongqing, this is intuition.”

"intuition?"

"A woman's intuition!"

Chapter 651, Mom, please don't.....

I...I....grass [a type of plant]...you bastard.

A woman's intuition left everyone speechless.

Dong Qing was having a terrible headache. Qian Renxue probably never imagined that all along, she had been so perfectly disguised that no one had ever noticed anything wrong with her.

But... she was seen through by a woman who had been asleep for over a decade, who saw through her gender.

have to say.

A woman's intuition is a really mysterious thing. Dongqing has always felt that this is very unfair. Why don't we men have such keen intuition?

"Mother-in-law, do you really trust your intuition?" Dong Qing asked in a strange tone.

"Of course I believe you." Xueyan nodded firmly. She trusted her intuition implicitly, almost to the point of blind faith.

Oh, I see... It seems like it can't be hidden any longer.

At least the secret of Qian Renxue's identity... can no longer be hidden from this woman.

"Um... Mother-in-law, have you ever thought about this? What if I were the same kind of person as the current Emperor Qinghe?" Dongqing said in a low voice.

His identity is not as simple as it seems on the surface; he is a visitor from another world and a pure-blooded being—identities unknown to his confidantes.

"The same kind of people? Dongqing, you also want to steal the throne?" Xueyan asked with a puzzled expression.

Upon hearing this, Dongqing was taken aback.

After a long while.

He said, "No, no, something's not right, Mother-in-law, what do you mean by 'also'?"

Upon hearing this...

Xueyan glanced coldly at Dongqing, but considering that he and her daughter had changed jobs and were basically family, she gave him a cold look.

She said nonchalantly, "What do you mean? Of course, it means to ascend the throne, unify the continent, and establish an everlasting legacy."

"Ascend the throne and become emperor?"

Dong Qing's expression grew increasingly strange. He had thought he would have to use some underhanded methods to limit this woman's ability to talk nonsense, but instead, she made a shocking revelation.

So you were the real traitor all along...

"That's right, my lifelong dream, Xueyan, is to become the first female emperor of Douluo Continent." Xueyan's expression was full of longing.

She is certainly not cerebral palsy and is not just speaking her mind.

It's simply because Dongqing and Ning Rongrong have a de facto relationship, and in terms of status, she is already her son-in-law. There's no need to hide certain thoughts from Dongqing anymore.

"The Empress?" Dong Qing took a deep breath.

Such grand ambitions... such a boring act.

Ascending the throne and becoming emperor is indeed an unimaginable thing for ordinary mortals. The supreme position of the emperor allows one to enjoy all the prosperity of the world.

However, for a level 97 peak attack-type Douluo, it was not so significant.

Because after breaking through level 90 and becoming a titled Douluo, one's status and position are already unparalleled.

Forcing one to the throne is ultimately just adding icing on the cake; it doesn't actually bring much benefit.

"To date, there has only been one queen on the Douluo Continent, namely my perverted sister who loves women, the queen of the Kingdom of Silves under the Heaven Dou Empire. I, Xue Yan, as a level 97 peak Douluo of the Power Attack type, will become the first female emperor on the Douluo Continent."

Xueyan appeared very calm. She wasn't very interested in imperial power, but she was very interested in becoming the first female emperor in the history of Douluo Continent.

“Mother-in-law, in my opinion, the Queen and the Empress are pretty much the same. It’s not good to compare them.” Dong Qing raised his index finger and shook it from side to side.

"Far from it. If I truly intended to be king, the Kingdom of Sylvester wouldn't be in the hands of my perverted sister," Xueyan said earnestly.

"So what do you want to do now?" Dong Qing asked speechlessly.

"Now that we've discovered that Emperor Qinghe's identity is suspicious, the natural course of action is to find a way to expose his false identity, and then I'll use this opportunity to ascend the throne," Xueyan explained.

"Expose her? How will you expose her? Do you even know her true identity?" Dong Qing's lips twitched.

"Good son-in-law, please help me out." Xueyan bit her lip, her eyes filled with tears.

"Impossible, I won't help you." Dong Qing waved his hand.

"Why?" Xueyan asked, puzzled.

“Mother-in-law, if you were seeking revenge for the Xiao Qinghe you once knew, I might help you. But since you are only acting out of your own selfish desires, I cannot help you at all.”

Dong Qing would never help Xue Yan deal with Qian Renxue, so he said "maybe." Generally, when he says "maybe," it's usually a polite way of refusing.

Not to mention.

This Xueyan isn't seeking revenge for the real Xue Qinghe at all; she just wants to use this opportunity to ascend the throne and become empress. Even if it weren't Qian Renxue sitting on the throne now, he wouldn't help her.

Dongqing will never be a tool in someone else's hand, helping them achieve their selfish desires.

"Dongqing, do you believe me or not...?"

"I believe you can't beat me!"

"Dongqing, if you don't help me, I'll make Rongrong..."

"Really? You see, she listens to me, or she's willing to listen to you."

"I...."

"What do you mean, 'me'?"

"you....."

"What do you mean, 'you'?!"

After a few words, Xueyan was so angry with Dongqing that she almost collapsed. She glared at Dongqing angrily, wishing she could devour the man in front of her.

"Dong Qing, although you are now the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, you are still a citizen of the Heaven Dou Empire. Do you really want to see an unknown person usurp the throne of the Heaven Dou Emperor?"

Considering her own physical condition and the fact that she was no match for Dong Qing, Xueyan ultimately decided not to make a move.

"It's none of my business. I only know one thing: the Tiandou Empire is thriving under the rule of this Emperor Qinghe. I don't care about her true identity." Dong Qing said indifferently.

"This is theft, the theft of a nation! The Xue family's Heavenly Dou Empire has been stolen! As my son-in-law, you have a duty to help your mother-in-law ascend to the throne!" Xue Yan said angrily.

“I won’t help, I can’t help at all. I’m not a member of the Xue family. I can understand that you have selfish desires, but I can’t abandon the millions of people of Tiandou for your own selfish desires.” Dong Qing’s tone was firm.

As he himself said.

If Xueyan is capable, she should expose Qian Renxue's true identity herself. If she's not, she should stop talking nonsense. I guess she was scared away by the three great elders of the Tiandou royal family.

Otherwise, given her bad temper...

Knowing full well that they would be mistreated by me, why would they come to me for help?
