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

This was the first thought that came to Ning Rongrong's mind after seeing Ning Fengzhi's Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. She felt that she should listen to Bone Douluo Gu Rong and not show off her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul in front of her father.

Ning Rongrong was genuinely afraid that her father wouldn't be able to accept this cruel reality.

Although she didn't know how much Ning Fengzhi had sacrificed, she knew that he had paid a heavy price to obtain the celestial herb, the Qiluo Tulip, and much of it was irreversible.

Putting aside everything else.

Even though Ning Rongrong tried her best to appear close to Ning Fengzhi, she still felt that her relationship with him had become distant.

Using the debt of gratitude owed to one's parents to blackmail one's own children, even if done out of desperation, is still very damaging to family relationships and often irreparable.

Because of this.

Ning Rongrong was unaware that Ning Fengzhi's life was slipping away little by little, and that he was gradually approaching the end of his life.

But for him personally, apart from still feeling a little indebted to Ning Rongrong, he had few other regrets.

Perhaps God took pity on him.

His efforts were not in vain. His lifelong obsession, the obsession that kept him stuck at level 79 and unable to advance to level 80, has finally been resolved.

Everyone has their own principles and values.

Some people believe that living a few decades longer is worthwhile.

Some people believe that if one hears the truth in the morning, one can die content in the evening.

There's nothing wrong with choosing the path you like.

........

Time flies, and years pass like an arrow.

Timeline, Douluo Calendar, February 23rd, 2649, Cloudy. [Six months and two days until Dongqing ascends to heaven.]

The Heavenly Dou Empire, the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

Today is not a good day. The weather is gloomy and overcast, it looks like it might rain but it doesn't, and there's an invisible sense of oppression in the air.

The same was true of the palace; everyone could feel the dim and oppressive atmosphere.

But oddly enough.

Xueke, the princess of the empire, seemed quite different. She quietly leaned against the railing and gazed at the dim sky.

Is she waiting for it to rain?

Not sure.

Is she waiting for someone?

do not know.

No one knew why she was all alone, leaning against the railing, looking at something.

Hundreds of meters away from her, rows of imperial guards, armed with spears and clad in full metal armor, were diligently patrolling, doing their utmost to maintain the security of the palace.

at the same time.

Deep within the palace, in a study.

Qian Renxue sat quietly on the dragon throne, reviewing memorials. She wore a magnificent golden imperial dragon robe, exuding an aura of majesty and unmistakable imperial power.

Dongqing dozed off on her lap. Forgive his rudeness, but he really wasn't interested in these national affairs. He got dizzy just looking at the dense text on the memorials.

Yes, he was very intelligent and found learning enjoyable, but what was written on these memorials was not so-called knowledge; it was all annoying politics.

He hates politics the most.

Compared to these annoying and incredibly brain-taxing political issues, Dong Qing prefers to solve everything with his fists; there's nothing he can't resolve with a single punch.

If so, give me another punch.

of course.

Dong Qing wasn't intentionally belittling politics or giving up on using his brain to solve problems; he simply felt that it was best to leave professional matters to professionals.

Chapter 657, If you're so capable, then don't chase after me!

It's unclear how much time passed, but after Dong Qing had unconsciously fallen asleep, the unknown Empress Qian Renxue finally finished dealing with those complicated government memorials.

"Thump, thump, thump..." That's the sound of knocking on the table.

"Xue'er, are you finally done?"

Dong Qing rubbed his somewhat confused eyes, and his mental energy recovered to its peak in the shortest time.

Sleep is essentially a wonderful thing; it can soothe a tense mind.

As a pure-blooded being that ranks among the top in all the heavens and myriad realms, Dong Qing, being a pure-blooded Heavenly Horned Ant, does not fundamentally reject the wonderful thing of sleeping.

Basically, he falls asleep whenever he feels like it and doesn't reject the wonderful feeling. With his current physical strength, he could indeed stay awake, but that doesn't mean he can't sleep.

Sleep when you want to sleep, eat when you want to eat.

This is life, this is what it means to be human!

They never sleep for a thousand years, and never close their eyes for ten thousand years.

That sounds impressive!

But what's the point?

Does it make you seem impressive?

Dong Qing had no interest in showing off the limits of his physical endurance. In comfortable environments, he was just an ordinary person who could easily fall into a peaceful sleep.

Such as in the arms of the female ant-like Jade Maiden, and on the thighs of his confidantes...

"Xiao Qing, is Xue Yan's awakening related to you?" Qian Renxue asked.

"I don't know, she just woke up out of nowhere!" Dong Qing shook his head in confusion.

He wasn't lying to Qian Renxue; he genuinely didn't know.

Dong Qing himself had no idea that when he used his self-created Soul Voice skill that day, he was unaware that his Soul Voice skill actually possessed the special ability to awaken dormant souls.

He only had a general idea that he could soothe the souls of others, bring them closer to the natural order of the universe, and use the voice of the soul to obliterate those souls of low quality.

Dong Qing is not omniscient or omnipotent now, and it is impossible for him to know everything about himself. It is normal that he does not know that his self-created soul skill, Soul Voice, has a chance to awaken a sleeping soul.

"She's a restless woman, Xiaoqing. You'd better keep an eye on her, or... I'll make her disappear completely." Qian Renxue's words revealed a hint of murderous intent.

The Heavenly Dou Empire already belongs to her, and she will never allow anyone to take it back.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her and won't let her do anything reckless." Dong Qing patted his chest to indicate that he understood and wouldn't let this woman jump out and court disaster.

"Xiao Qing, next time you promise me, pat your own chest," Qian Renxue said calmly.

It wasn't that she resented Dongqing taking advantage of her; the two of them had changed jobs countless times, so what was a little bit of advantage? It was just that this kind of guarantee was extremely insincere.

"Mine, mine, I'll definitely do it next time," Dong Qing replied dismissively.

He knew he was wrong, but he refused to correct it.

"Another perfunctory response... Never mind, Xiao Qing, why don't you continue to spend your time with that stinky fox in the Star Luo Empire, instead of having time to come to the Heaven Dou Empire to keep me company?"

Qian Renxue's beautiful lips curled slightly, but she didn't mind Dong Qing's perfunctory attitude. After all, those were minor matters. She was just curious why Dong Qing didn't continue to accompany Hu Liena.

“What are you saying? Xue’er, you are also very important. How could I favor one over the other?” Dong Qing quickly said.

Just now.

A slightly sour voice rang out, giving Dongqing a real headache.

"So, they're not important to you?"

A cloud of dark mist condensed in mid-air. A few seconds later, Hei An Qian Ren Xue appeared beside Dong Qing. Her tone was very resentful, and her pitiful little eyes made Dong Qing not know what to say.

"They're both important, both are important, both Xue'er are important," Dong Qing said helplessly.

"I'm important!" Hei An Qian Renxue retorted.

"Both are important," Dong Qing insisted on his point of view.

"Say it, I'm important, or you can forget about playing black and white tonight, Xiaoqing!" Hei An Qian Renxue threatened.

“I’m not stupid. If I say it, then there will truly be no more black and white pairings.” Dong Qing shook his head firmly.

At this time.

Qian Renxue glanced at Dong Qing, then at the Dark Qian Renxue who was clinging to him, and said calmly, "You really know how to pick your time. How's the matter I asked you to do going?"

Done.

Regardless of what Dong Qing himself was thinking, she pulled him out of Hei An Qian Ren Xue's clutches.

"Don't worry, everything is in order, and you can start your plans anytime."

Dark Qianrenxue didn't argue with Qianrenxue, since everyone would be changing to knights soon anyway.

"What plan?" Dongqing asked tentatively.

"You'll find out soon enough. Xiaoqing, you're very important in this plan."

Qian Renxue pushed away Dong Qing's head, which was pressed against her chest, to prevent the man from interrupting her conversation with Hei Mu Qian Renxue.

After being pushed away.

Dong Qing also seemed a little bored. He muttered casually, "Xue'er, it's a wonder you still have the mind to study these things. With this free time, you might as well spend it dealing with the rampant wolf bandits in the Kingdom of Barak. Last time I passed through there, I encountered a wolf bandit group of tens of thousands, which was equivalent to a legion."

These words were spoken.

This immediately caught Qian Renxue's attention, and she asked, "Xiao Qing, you said that last time you passed through the territory of the Barak Kingdom, you discovered a wolf bandit group of tens of thousands of legion-level strength... This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Opportunity?" Dong Qing didn't understand.

“Centralized power, a political strategy,” Qian Renxue explained.

"Alright, alright, my head is spinning, I don't want to listen. I'm going out for a walk for now. Da Xue'er, Xiao Xue'er, you two can chat privately." Dong Qing immediately nimbly spun around.

After he left.

Qian Renxue and Hei An Qian Renxue exchanged a glance. While they were speechless, their pride and arrogance led them to argue about Dong Qing's parting words.

"Darkness, you should understand, I am greater than you."
