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

I borrowed the money through my own abilities, so why should I have to pay it back?

“Xiao Wu, your mother’s problem is indeed a bit serious. She needs to be properly educated.” Dong Qing nodded.

He could tell at a glance that Arou had no intention of repaying the money; she was definitely a woman who planned to shamelessly cling to him.

“Mom wasn’t like this at first. It’s all my fault. I didn’t keep a close eye on her. As the saying goes, ‘One is influenced by one’s company.’ The noble class of the Heavenly Dou Empire is too corrupt. Those noblewomen are obsessed with those flashy but impractical luxury goods, which has led my mother to go astray as well.” Xiao Wu’s tone was full of helplessness.

"Liking luxury goods... isn't actually that serious, but borrowing money to buy them is a bit problematic."

Dongqing glanced curiously at Arou, who was avoiding his gaze.

written request for leave

Whew, no update today, mwah!

Chapter 662, Human hearts contain both evil and good.

"I...I...I know I shouldn't...but I just couldn't help it..."

Now that Arou has been exposed without mercy by her daughter Xiaowu, and is being stared at by her son-in-law Dongqing, she feels embarrassed and doesn't dare to look him in the eye.

His eyes darted around, and his expression was one of deep shame.

If it weren't for Dong Qing and Xiao Wu, but instead had been family members present, she would probably have been so ashamed that she would have transformed into her true form, the Soft Bone Rabbit, and burrowed into a nearby mound of earth by now.

"How much money did you borrow?" Dong Qing asked directly.

“One million seven hundred thousand gold soul coins,” Arou whispered.

“Very well, for the next year and five months, your 100,000 gold soul coins subsidy will be gone,” Dong Qing said without hesitation.

"Good son-in-law, please don't! I don't have a single penny. This is going to kill me!" Arou looked at Dongqing pitifully.

"Mother-in-law, if you dare say another word, don't blame me for being ruthless and permanently canceling your Gold Soul Coin subsidy," Dong Qing said calmly.

These words were spoken.

Arou, the 100,000-year-old Soft-Boned Rabbit, immediately deflated and dared not utter another word about the matter.

It's no wonder she was so humble; she ate Dongqing's food, drank Dongqing's drinks, and even took Dongqing's money, so how could she dare to talk back?

And this time.

Seeing her mother's discomfiture and forced submission, Xiao Wu couldn't help but excitedly hug Dong Qing's arm and press her slender body against him.

Now, her soul power has broken through level fifty, and she has completely entered the mature stage. Her long legs are white, long, tender and smooth, and they look so captivating.

For a humanoid soul beast like her, who is 100,000 years old, her size will change drastically after reaching maturity.

Not only did her breasts become fuller, but her height also became the same as Dong Qing's.

“Brother Qing, this is how you should treat my mother. She’s been going too far lately. Relying on the support of the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, she doesn’t respect anyone else at all.”

Xiao Wu complained again in a fierce tone, which made A Rou, the person involved, so angry that she gritted her teeth.

If it weren't for the power emanating from the Love-Sickness Red amulet on her head that rendered Arou unable to move, she really wanted to pounce on Xiaowu and bite her, to teach her the price of betraying her mother.

"She's still bullying people by taking advantage of her power?" Dong Qing frowned.

This woman...

Could she be the reincarnation of a troublemaker?

How did you get into so much trouble?

"Yes, Brother Qing, but Mom wasn't that bad. The people she bullied weren't ordinary people; they were all arrogant and domineering officials and nobles. In Xiao Wu's opinion, people like them deserve to be bullied." Xiao Wu said indignantly.

In her opinion.

Those high-ranking officials who bullied others deserve to be bullied themselves now.

“Bullying others with power is bullying others with power. How can high-ranking officials be bullied? They are arrogant and domineering, and they don’t know their own mortality. That’s their business. Someone will deal with them naturally. Using my status and background to bully them, what’s the difference between her and those arrogant and domineering high-ranking officials?”

"I was wondering how your mother became like this. It turns out you weren't a good woman either, Xiaowu. Now that your mother is like this, you also bear some responsibility."

Dong Qing glanced at Xiao Wu speechlessly. He roughly understood how A Rou had gone astray. Xiao Wu's own values ​​were not very normal, so it was only a matter of time before she went astray.

Because I'm better than you!

So you think you can bully me?

What kind of twisted logic is this?

If you're going to bully someone, just do it openly and honestly. Don't make excuses.

"Brother Qing, actually I..."

Xiao Wu tried to explain, but she was a little confused. How did the fire turn on her? It should have been Dong Qing and her criticizing their mother together.

"No need to explain. Xiao Wu, you and A Rou should stay with me for now and stop hanging out with Zhu Qing and the others." Dong Qing gently rubbed Xiao Wu's head.

He realized that he seemed to have overlooked Xiao Wu and A Rou. After all, they were 100,000-year-old humanoid soul beasts, and there had always been a slight barrier between them and the human world.

They probably still harbor the dog-eat-dog mentality of the soul beast world: if I'm stronger than you, you deserve to die.

This explains why Arou, a woman who seems so gentle, would do such bullying things.

of course.

The concept of the survival of the fittest is prevalent in the human world. The strong bully the weak, and the weak turn their knives on the even weaker; this has basically become the norm.

Sometimes, the ugliness in the human heart is so disgusting that even animals find it repulsive.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the saying "worse than an animal" came about.

Human nature is inherently evil; it requires education and discipline to cultivate goodness.

if you can.......

Dongqing didn't want Xiaowu and Arou to become the kind of people who took advantage of their power to bully others as a normal thing. He hoped they could experience the true, good, and beautiful things in the world.

Human hearts can contain evil, but also goodness.

Indeed, the ugliness of humanity can sometimes be hard to accept, but humans also have kindness and beauty, and we shouldn't only look at the ugly side of humanity.

One should not be too extreme, thinking that seeing the ugly side of humanity means that humanity should be destroyed, while ignoring those who possess truth, goodness and beauty.

This is similar to a science fiction universe where the Trisolaran world, which adheres to the laws of physics, faces a crisis with the Trisolarans. The extreme and destructive Adventists are simply overly radical humans.

Those who only remember the evil in humanity may have forgotten that humanity also has a beautiful side.

It's also possible that they don't care, don't want to pay attention, and don't want to know the beautiful side of humanity.

This world is a balance of yin and yang; there is good and evil, and vice versa. Good and evil coexist within it.

Even on Earth in the Super God Universe, Dong Qing didn't feel that evil had completely overwhelmed justice; it was just that the brilliance of justice had temporarily lost its color.

Given time, when he returns, he will eventually turn the tide.

........

"Brother Qing, why? What happened to Zhu Qing and the others?" Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.

“They are human, and you are beasts. Even if they are humanoid soul beasts that have been around for 100,000 years, there are still differences between you. Their thoughts and values ​​as human beings are very mature.”

“I don’t need to worry about their values, but you are different. You are not human. If we leave you to your own devices, I’m afraid your values ​​will become abnormal.”

"In life, the three views are very important. The three views generally refer to worldview, outlook on life, and values. Everyone has different opinions and ideas about these three views."

"They are dialectically unified, and they interact with each other."

"Some people pursue lofty ideals of truth, goodness, and beauty as their moral compass, while others, due to their upbringing and the instigation of others, develop extremely ugly moral compass."

Dong Qing explained to Xiao Wu and A Rou, two humanoid 100,000-year-old soul beasts, what exactly they meant by "three values" (worldview, values, and outlook on life). He hoped that Xiao Wu and A Rou, these two humanoid 100,000-year-old soul beasts, could truly learn how to be human and become people with normal values.

"Isn't it just bullying others by taking advantage of one's power? You humans have done this kind of thing yourselves too, so why do you have to say it about me and Xiao Wu like that?" Arou's tone sounded somewhat dissatisfied.

In her opinion.

Humans have done far more bad things than she has, bullying the weak and oppressing the strong. Why should she be criticized by her son-in-law, Dongqing, for bullying others a few times?

“Mother-in-law, being kind to others may not bring you any immediate benefits, but it can also help you avoid some unnecessary troubles and dangers. This is a basic principle of being a good person.”

"The world is vast, yet also small. Who dares to claim invincibility? Who dares to claim invincibility? There are always stronger hands among the strong. If you don't know how to restrain yourself, who knows if you might provoke someone you simply cannot afford to offend."

"Your son-in-law may have no rivals in this world, but that doesn't mean I'm fearless. Perhaps in the eyes of beings from more advanced worlds, I'm just a young ant."

Speaking of it.

Dongqing waved to the Acacia Heartbreak Red above Arou's head, and this celestial herb, known as the king of flowers, obediently floated into his chest.

To know.

From beginning to end, the owner of the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red was Dong Qing. It was only lent to Xiao Wu for self-defense. Now that he has taken Xiao Wu and A Rou under his wing and is educating them properly, he naturally takes back the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red.

"I don't believe it. There's a world beyond this world? According to you, the world has no end, because there's always a bigger world outside of it."

Arou doesn't believe there are higher worlds. In her view, the Douluo God Realm is already the limit of the world, and she can't imagine a world more powerful than the Douluo God Realm.

"You guessed right. The world has no end. There are worlds beyond worlds, universes beyond universes. We are just tiny specks of dust."

Dongqing looked deeply moved, though it was unclear whether he was marveling at the greatness of the world or the vastness of the universe.

"Brother Qing, what is the universe?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

She understood the most basic concept that there are worlds beyond worlds. As a 100,000-year-old soul beast, she naturally knew the concept of ascending to the Douluo God Realm after becoming a god.

As for what exactly the Douluo God Realm is, she didn't know much about it. She only knew that whether human or beast, anyone who becomes a god can ascend to the Douluo God Realm.

"The universe is essentially the same as the world, only the form of existence is different. The planet we are standing on is called Douluo Star. It seems very big, but it is just a higher-level world, a high-energy planet under the hundreds of planes controlled by the Douluo God Realm."

"Besides that, the Douluo God Realm also governs 108 planes..." Dong Qing patiently explained, popularizing knowledge about the world and the universe to Xiao Wu and her mother.

He hoped that these two narrow-minded rabbits could mature a little and not think that they could do whatever they wanted just because they had the protection of the evil god king.

There is.

Although Dong Qing personally believes that the total area of ​​Douluo Star, including the Douluo God Realm, is not large, it is far smaller than the Super God Universe where he lived.

However, the current scope of the Douluo God Realm is already enough to broaden the horizons of Xiao Wu and her daughter.

Dongqing, as the evil god-king... a temporary evil god-king, can quit at any time.

Even though he hasn't officially ascended to the throne in the Douluo God Realm and successfully taken the high and mighty position of God King, he already has a pretty good understanding of the lower realms that the Douluo God Realm currently governs.
