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

He scratched the back of his head. He had originally thought of lifting her by her hind legs and dragging her along, but considering that she was a woman and his mother-in-law, dragging her by her legs would be too humiliating. In the end, he did not choose this extremely insulting behavior.

About a few minutes later.

Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, Purple Orchid Hall.

"Well, Xueke, I'm sorry to trouble you. I don't know where to put this woman, so I'll just let her stay here with you." Dongqing awkwardly touched his nose.

He originally planned to just dump Xueyan, that idiot woman, here and leave, but he didn't realize that Xueke was standing behind him like a ghost, silently watching him.

It's not that Dongqing's perception is poor, or that his powerful mental strength has become useless.

He was already feeling guilty for sneaking into the Purple Orchid Palace where Xue Ke lived alone, so he didn't dare to use his spiritual power to scan the palace of the imperial princess Xue Ke.

He's not a hooligan. What if he accidentally sees something he shouldn't, like Xue Ke taking a bath? Wouldn't he be provoking a woman he doesn't want to provoke?

"Your Highness Dongqing, you sneaked into my palace like a thief. I thought you were planning to launch a night raid on me, but it turns out you were just bringing Aunt Xueyan back."

Xue Ke's fair and jade-like face was filled with disappointment, and it was unclear whether she was disappointed that Dong Qing hadn't attacked her at night.

Xueqin: Queen Sylvester, Xueye's younger sister, Xueke's aunt, Xueqinghe's aunt, Xueyan's younger sister, is currently playing affectionately with Ye Ruyin.

.......

"A night raid?" Dong Qing's eyes widened.

who is it?

Who is it?

How dare you tarnish the reputation of this Holy Son!

"Your Highness Dongqing, please put Aunt Xueyan down. She seems to have been knocked unconscious. Let her rest." Xue Ke said softly.

"Oh."

Dong Qing nodded, then he tossed Xue Yan, who was in his arms, out of the room.

Xueyan spun around in the air a few times before falling onto the bed. Due to inertia, she rolled off again and landed on the cold floor.

"Xueke, the person has been delivered. She is your aunt. Please take good care of her. I'll be leaving now." Dongqing said, then turned and left.

next second.

"Wait, Your Highness Dongqing, if I'm not mistaken, you're the one who knocked out Aunt Xueyan, aren't you?" Xue Ke spread her arms and blocked Dongqing's way.

"Uh...it's me." Dong Qing did not deny it.

"You knocked out my aunt, dumped her here, and now you think you can just turn around and leave, Your Highness Dongqing?" Xue Ke pursed her lips.

“Princess Xueke… what do you want to do?” Dongqing looked at her calmly.

"Don't look at me like that. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Judging from the secrets Aunt Xueyan told me, Qinghe's true identity should be a woman, right?" Xue Ke said with certainty.

Chapter 660, The music ends, and all is silent.

"Don't ask me, I don't know, I don't know anything." Dong Qing shook his head.

Intelligent women are the most annoying, but women who pretend to be intelligent are even more annoying.

Doesn't she know that if it were someone else, she would most likely be silenced right now?

Not everyone has a kind heart; casually saying things they shouldn't will only lead them down the path to death.

"Your Highness Dongqing, why pretend to be stupid? Who would have thought that the Qinghe Emperor is actually a woman? Not only that, but there's a high probability that Your Highness Dongqing is her man." Xue Ke's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Xue Ke, are you really not afraid of death?" Dong Qing asked suspiciously.

This woman did it on purpose!

She already said she didn't know, so why does she have to expose her?

"Don't be afraid, Dongqing, go ahead and do it if you dare."

Xue Ke quickly stepped forward and stood firmly in front of Dong Qing, her eyes, devoid of any fear, staring resolutely into his gaze.

"I'll kill you!" Dongqing threatened.

"Kill me!" Xue Ke pouted.

"Xue Ke, are you really not afraid?" Dong Qing was dumbfounded.

"I'm not afraid!" Xue Ke nodded firmly.

"Why aren't you afraid?" Dong Qing couldn't help but scratch the back of his head.

“I’m not afraid, that’s all!” Xue Ke grabbed Dong Qing’s collar.

"Alright, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. I'm leaving now. Take good care of her. Although her personality is a bit... well, she's still my mother-in-law."

Dong Qing slapped Xue Ke's hand off his collar, then turned and walked towards the door. He was now eagerly anticipating tonight's showdown between black and white.

To know.

Black and white pairings are not a common occurrence. Sometimes Qian Renxue is willing, and sometimes she is not. Whether or not she can have a black and white pairing depends entirely on her mood.

As for Hei An Qian Ren Xue, she really did everything he asked. Dong Qing sometimes wondered if she was being too nice to him. Why did she have to be like the female ant Yu Niang?

Just as Dong Qing was about to step out of the palace gate, a slightly warm, delicate body hugged him tightly from behind.

"If you insist on leaving, unless you kill me now to silence me, I will definitely spread the word about His Majesty Qinghe's identity and gender tomorrow."

Xue Ke hugged Dong Qing tightly around the waist, her hot breath brushing against his ear.

"I won't kill you to silence you, but I must say, she's not a kind woman," Dong Qing said, frowning as he offered his advice.

“I know, I know, she has never been a kind person, but if you leave today, whether you lay a hand on me or not, I will die because of you in the end.”

Xue Ke's tone was incredibly firm; she was absolutely true to her word.

"Xue Ke... are you threatening me?" Dong Qing asked, sounding somewhat confused.

"It's blackmail, using my life to blackmail you." Xue Ke nodded in agreement.

"You miscalculated. I don't care if you live or die. Let go, I'm really leaving," Dong Qing said calmly.

"Dongqing, please don't go. Stay with me, and I'll grant you anything you want," Xueke said humbly.

"Um, I really have something to do, I really have something to do. Xueke, don't be impulsive, don't say anything rash. Can we talk about it tomorrow?" Dongqing's tone was somewhat troubled.

He didn't particularly dislike Xue Ke, but with the black-and-white conflict looming, who had the heart to stay and comfort an imperial princess who was depressed after learning that her throne had been stolen?

"No, absolutely not, I want it tonight." Xue Ke's tone was still as stubborn as ever.

"Tonight? A man and a woman alone, what are you planning to do?" Dong Qing hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation.

"I've heard that Your Highness Dongqing is very accomplished in music. I, Xueke, would like to ask Your Highness to compose a piece of music." Xueke finally revealed one of her purposes at this moment.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow, let's talk about it tomorrow." Dong Qing quickly waved his hand.

seriously.

If he weren't worried that this woman might really go crazy and cause trouble, he would have already shaken off her arm and run away.

"Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, how many tomorrows there are! After tomorrow, will I really be able to find you again, Dongqing?"

Xue Ke asked a question that Dong Qing couldn't answer.

Yes.

The "tomorrow" he mentioned was just an empty promise, not meant to be kept at all. He only used it to appease Xue Ke and get her to stop bothering him.

Regardless of what he thought in his heart, Dong Qing still said aloud, "Xue Ke, do you think I'm the kind of person who breaks his word?"

"Yes!" Xue Ke nodded.

"I... how could I be that kind of person? Xueke, I'm warning you, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You can't just falsely accuse a good man like me!"

Dong Qing was speechless. Why were there so many things happening today? First, there was the female ant Yu Niang, then Xue Yan, that troublesome girl, and now Xue Ke was suddenly pulling him and not letting him leave.

"Please grant my wish. Give me a reason, give me an excuse, and I can agree to accept that fake Emperor Qinghe on the throne."

Xueke looked at Dongqing with teary eyes, appearing extremely frail and pitiful.

"This...you want me to compose a song on the spot? I promise you, but you also have to promise me that you won't get involved in the Xue family's affairs anymore. You will get married in the future, so you should prioritize your husband's family. Also, you are not allowed to bother me anymore."

Dong Qing finally agreed to her request. If he ran away now, this woman might really do something foolish. Qian Renxue was not as easy to talk to as he was.

"I will." A sly glint flashed deep in Xue Ke's eyes, and at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Dong Qing didn't have the ability to read people's minds, so he didn't know that he had been deceived. He didn't know that Xue Ke, that wicked woman, had been deliberately acting all along.

He was still trying to figure out which song from his memory he could pull out to get rid of this woman who might do something foolish.

A few minutes passed.

Ignoring Xue Ke's slightly surprised look, he reached out and pulled out an ancient zither from a corner of the small world inside the Sky Shuttle.

“Zheng…” The clear, cold sound of the zither rang out.

"Xue Ke, this song has a very good artistic conception. I hope you can calm down, accept reality, and believe me, the Heaven Dou Empire can also become very good in her hands."

As Dongqing finished speaking, a beautiful song began to play.

May you be warm during the three winter months.

May your spring be warm.

May you have an umbrella on rainy days.

May your dreams be peaceful.

May you be gentle and kind.
