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

Dong Qing spoke with utmost sincerity. He had no interest in the deposed crown prince of Baiyue, Tian Ze, but was only interested in the alluring Yan Ling Ji before him.

"Master, don't worry, I will be obedient from now on." Yan Lingji nodded vigorously.

This afternoon.

When Jingni interrogated Yan Lingji, she had already revealed part of Dongqing's identity to her, excluding his identity as the God King and all the identities he possessed in this world.

The Protector of the State of Qin, Xiangjun of the Yin-Yang School, the world-renowned Dongzi, and the teacher of the current King of Qin.

No matter which identity she held, none of them could compare to Tianze, the deposed crown prince of Baiyue. Yan Lingji also realized that her true master could only be Dong Qing.

Yan Lingji even felt that her future man would be Dong Qing, the only man in her life, and that she would be bullied and dominated by this man for countless days and nights to come.

As for her former master, the deposed crown prince of Baiyue, Tianze, their relationship was merely that of superior and subordinate. This man was filled with hatred and had no interest in relationships between men and women.

"Just be obedient. As long as you are obedient, your master will not treat you badly."

As he spoke, Dong Qing flipped his hands up and down, and out of thin air produced an apple full of spiritual energy, which he placed into Yan Ling Ji's soft and boneless little hand.

"Master, this fruit is bright red. Where is it from?" Yan Lingji asked curiously.

I don't know why.

Yan Lingji looked at the apple in her hand, which was full of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Her throat couldn't help but move up and down, and as she saliva secreted, her body also felt an urge to eat the apple.

This is her body yearning for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"Hmph, ignorant fool! This is a priceless treasure that even Lu Buwei, the prime minister of Qin, would spend tens of thousands of gold coins to buy." Jing Ni, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it and interjected.

However, for some reason, her tone of voice sounded somewhat sarcastic, and there was a bitter feeling in her heart as if something had been taken away by Yan Lingji.

Actually...

No wonder Jingni is acting strangely.

The main reason was that she sensed a threat from Yan Lingji. She had always clearly felt that Dong Qing's affection for her was no less than that for Dong Jun Yanfei.

But now, in just a few hours, she discovered that Dong Qing's affection for Yan Ling Ji was no less than her own, which made her extremely worried that Dong Qing would be fickle and abandon her for someone new.

Jing Ni was once a top-tier assassin in the Luo Wang organization, devoid of emotion, and willing to die for her missions.

Even if it were Yan'er's biological father, she could stab him in the heart without any mercy.

But that doesn’t mean she has no feelings. Ever since the nameless swordsman used his life to awaken Jingni’s dormant emotions, she has gradually awakened her own feelings as a person and as a mother.

Now, she has a weakness.

The first weakness, without a doubt, is Yan'er, and the second is Dong Qing. She really doesn't want to be neglected by Dong Qing and then leave herself and Yan'er aside.

"Worth ten thousand gold? The annual military pay in South Korea is only about one hundred thousand gold..."

Yan Lingji swallowed hard. She glanced cautiously at Dong Qing's profile and, finding that he didn't refute her words, suddenly felt the apple in her hand weigh an immense weight.

"Eat it quickly. Without special preservation methods, the spiritual essence of this apple is constantly draining away. In a few hours, it will become an ordinary fruit," Dong Qing warned.

The spiritual energy of this world is constantly dissipating, like a deflated balloon. This apple is like a highly concentrated crystal of spiritual energy, constantly collapsing and decomposing.

If it is not preserved and eaten in time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will be completely lost.

"Master, is it really safe to eat?" Yan Lingji asked uncertainly.

Dong Qing ignored her, beckoned Jing Ni to sit down next to him, and placed an apple in her hand to calm the anxious woman.

As for Madam Hu...

Early in the morning, having heard that apples can keep you young forever, she wolfed one down and spent the whole day trying to figure out if she had become any younger.

Dongqing is vulgar, but she is even more vulgar. However, it is only natural for women to care about their appearance, just as it is natural for men to care about whether they are handsome.

Nothing is impossible.

If only I could be handsome and dashing?

Who would want to be fat and bloated?

..........

the other side.

The Palace of the King of Han, Mingzhu Hall.

"Cousin, tell me, after all this roundabout talk, what exactly do you want to discuss with me?"

Madam Mingzhu's tone was becoming impatient. It was the middle of the night, and Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei didn't want to rest. She didn't want to talk to this cold man anymore.

See here.

Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei didn't say anything more and said directly, "Mingzhu, do you want to win over Dongzi? If you want to, your cousin can create this opportunity for you."

These words were spoken.

Madam Mingzhu immediately bristled, her face turning cold. She felt that Marquis Bai Yifei was treating her as a tool, a tool that could be discarded at any time.

"Cousin, you should just die already. It's the biggest misfortune of Aunt's life to have a son like you. And you actually tried to push your only cousin into the fire."

"You think he's just a puppet of Han Wang An? You can't control him, I can't control him, nobody can control him. He'll just devour your cousin me."

Madam Mingzhu was furious and lost her temper. She cursed Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei to die soon, unable to accept being treated like an object and passed around.

“Mingzhu, you are my only family. The state of Korea is in a precarious state and may be destroyed at any time. I just don’t want you to die under the iron hooves of Qin or other countries in the future.”

Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei spoke cruel words with a calm expression. He was not joking. Apart from Qin, other countries also wanted to annex the weakened state of Han.

The Baiyue people, who were originally descendants of the Yue Kingdom, were destroyed by the allied forces of Han and Chu after their decline. In his view, the Han Kingdom, which is now extremely weak, will also face such a day sooner or later.

The world is constantly in turmoil.

The weak perish.

The Baiyue were neither the first nor the last state to be destroyed. Compared to the Eastern Zhou, which was destroyed by the Qin state, the Baiyue were insignificant.

In today's world, apart from South Korea, other countries have more or less devoured neighboring smaller countries to strengthen themselves, which is why there are so many homeless refugees.

The trend of unification is already emerging, and there is no shortage of intelligent people in this world.

Most people believe that, in the world today, only the Qin and Chu states have this opportunity.

“Cousin, is Korea truly destined to perish, with no hope of ever becoming strong again?” Madam Mingzhu asked hesitantly.

She never expected that Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei would personally admit that South Korea wouldn't go far, and she never expected that he did this all for her own sake.

If she could, she wouldn't want Korea to perish like this, but reality is cruel. She feels that the future Korea is like the present-day Baiyue.

The Baiyue region is now a muddy mess, with countless refugees wandering among the seven kingdoms.

Some were taken in, while others were even slaughtered by Tianze, the deposed crown prince who also came from Baiyue.

"Yes, the King of Qin is incompetent, Qin is in turmoil, and the Prime Minister of Qin, Lü Buwei, keeps causing trouble for the young King of Qin, leaving him with neither the time nor the strength to attack Han. As for other countries, my army is confident that it can hold them off. The only exception is the Qin state, which is as fierce as a wolf. Once the Qin army gets serious, it can conquer Xinzheng in less than half a month."

"There is also the option of either the Fourth Prince Han Yu or the Ninth Prince Han Fei becoming king, but they cannot kill each other. If the Ninth Prince Han Fei becomes king, he can fully utilize all his skills, while the Fourth Prince Han Yu can sincerely assist the Ninth Prince Han Fei. If the Fourth Prince Han Yu becomes king, he must also give the Ninth Prince Han Fei an opportunity to utilize all his skills."

"As for the other young masters, they are either incompetent or already dead. Especially the third young master, that good-for-nothing. The state of Han has already become like this, yet he still has the interest to bully a defenseless woman, trying to seize the mansion of the widow of Zuo Sima Liu Yi. He even arranged for people outside the city to kill her and take her money."

In conclusion.

Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei felt that life was difficult, and that everyone on his side was useless, except for the Fourth Prince Han Yu and the Ninth Prince Han Fei, who had some potential to become kings.

South Korea is now on the brink of life and death, yet these people still only know how to seek pleasure.

They only knew that the Qin state was like a wolf and a tiger, but they didn't know that the Chu state was also eyeing the Han state covetously.

"Cousin, aren't you just daydreaming? It's alright if Ninth Prince Han Fei is okay, but if Fourth Prince Han Yu becomes the king, he will definitely make Ninth Prince Han Fei follow the same path as that late crown prince."

Lady Mingzhu knew perfectly well why the Crown Prince of Korea had died; it was definitely not as simple as an accidental death.

Did he accidentally fall into the water?

Such words might fool a child, but he's blocking some people's way.

"So... Mingzhu, you need to think about your future now. Dongzi, who came to Xinzheng for unknown reasons, is your best choice," said Bai Yifei, the Snow-Clad Marquis, calmly.

"Would a man like him lack women?"

Madam Mingzhu couldn't understand why Dongqing, with his status, would be interested in a woman over thirty years old like her.

"I don't know if he's short of money, but I do know that he recently took Liu Yi's wife, which suggests that he might have a different interest in other men's wives."

Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei's tone remained calm. Whether Dong Qing liked other men's wives or not was unimportant to him, as he had no interest in women in that regard.

"So... do you think he'd be interested in me, a concubine of King Han An? But what if he finds out I'm still a virgin? Would he look down on me?"

Madam Mingzhu was a little curious about Dongqing; how could there be a man who liked another man's wife?

This is so strange...

"If all else fails, you can bring along Hu Meiren. She is Madam Hu's sister. I believe she will make a wise choice instead of waiting to die on this crumbling giant ship."

Bai Yifei, the Snow-Clad Marquis, felt no embarrassment whatsoever, because this was not the first time he had done this. Compared to before, at least Hu Meiren did not have to worry about being drained of her heart's blood and pure yin energy and dying.

.......

that's it.

A few more days passed. After Luo Wang had arranged everything and ensured that King Zheng of Qin would not encounter any accidents, King Zheng of Qin once again personally came to the Eastern Palace to meet Dong Qing.

"Teacher, everything has been arranged. Today we can go and see Han Fei, who wrote many articles such as 'Solitary Indignation,' 'Five Vermin,' 'Inner Sayings,' 'Outer Sayings,' 'On the Forest,' and 'On Difficulty.'"

King Zheng of Qin knelt before Dong Qing, a gesture of respect from a student to his teacher.

“Zheng’er… cough cough… Your Majesty, are you sure you want to see him? As the ninth son of King An of Han, he is a royal prince and may not necessarily accept your invitation.”

Because he went back to see Empress Dowager Zhao Ji last night, Dong Qing was accidentally pestered by her all night. As a result, he almost let slip the secret in front of King Zheng of Qin.

As for Yan Lingji herself, a few days ago, she was completely devoured by Dong Qing, to the point that she was unable to get out of bed. Now, just seeing Dong Qing makes her feel weak and achy.

"Teacher, it's fine to call him Zheng'er; there's no need to be so bound by Confucian etiquette."

When King Zheng of Qin looked up at Dong Qing, a hint of suspicion flashed deep in his pupils. He seemed to smell the unique fragrance of his mother, Zhao Ji, on his teacher, Dong Qing.

But this is Xinzheng in South Korea, which is at least five or six days away from Xianyang in Qin. Surely we shouldn't be that thirsty?

Not bad.

King Zheng of Qin had long harbored suspicions about Dong Qing and Empress Dowager Zhao Ji.

Dong Qing is alright, but Empress Dowager Zhao Ji is a foolish woman. Although she doesn't currently have any intention of harming her son, King Zheng of Qin, it doesn't mean she can hide things from him.

However, it was thanks to the foolishness of Empress Dowager Zhao Ji that King Zheng of Qin was able to discover, in that vanished future timeline, that she was actually trying to unite outsiders to rebel against her own son and intend to murder him.
