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

Next.

Under Qi Lin's watchful eye, Dong Qing took out his smartphone, which he had left on Earth, and sent a message to the woman in his contacts with a little fox avatar, saying that he had returned safely.

that's it.

Qi Lin's jealousy subsided, but before Dong Qing could calm down, less than half an hour later, Su Xiaoli drove alone to the villa.

"Brother Qing, open the door!" came a voice that sounded like a seductive fox.

"Dongqing, you dare to give her one and see what happens." Qi Lin gritted her teeth.

"Could you... please...?"

Dong Qing had a splitting headache. He knew he shouldn't have been so sentimental and insisted on going back to Earth. The women on Earth were all very possessive and not nearly as sensible as the women in the Qin Dynasty.

This is Dongqing's biggest problem, an indescribable problem.

But Dongqing's headache didn't last long.

A red-haired woman, holding a key, easily opened the villa door and walked straight to Dong Qing, ignoring Su Xiaoli who was standing there dumbfounded.

"Security Bureau, you must be Dong Qing. Come with me, someone wants to see you."

The red-haired woman showed Dong Qing her bright red identification card, which bore her name and the red seal of the Security Bureau.

"Du Qiangwei, I don't remember giving you a key. Where did you get the key?"

Qi Lin stood in front of Dong Qing. She absolutely could not allow this red-haired woman, Du Qiangwei from the Security Bureau, to take her man away.

"Yeah, you weird woman, why do you have a key to Dong Qing's house?"

Su Xiaoli jogged up to Dong Qing's side, putting on an arrogant and haughty look, completely ignoring Qi Lin's gritted teeth and the expression on her face as she wanted to kick her away.

"This is my home, though it's not wrong to say it's Dongqing's home, but what are you doing here?" Qi Lin turned her head and stared at Su Xiaoli, her tone slightly cold.

"Sister, what time is it now? Why are you still worrying about such trivial things? The most important thing right now is Brother Qing. He must not be taken away by this woman."

Su Xiaoli's words made a lot of sense, and Qi Lin's attention returned to Du Qiangwei once again. She temporarily put aside her impulse to confront Su Xiaoli.

"A key? You can make a copy of that with just one look. What's so difficult about it?" Du Qiangwei said nonchalantly.

“I’m a police officer…” Qi Lin said coldly.

“I know you are, but this is also a mission of the Security Bureau. We need to investigate Dong Qing.” Du Qiangwei interrupted Qi Lin’s words, while holding down Dong Qing, who was trying to sneak away.

“You don’t have that right,” Qi Lin said calmly.

"It's not up to a lowly police officer like me to interfere in the work of the Security Bureau. You just need to obey your superiors' orders," Du Qiangwei retorted without flinching.

"is it?"

Qi Lin smiled, took out her phone, and dialed a number.

Not long after.

Du Qiangwei reached out and pressed her ear, seemingly talking to someone. The more she spoke, the more her brows furrowed. But in the end, she gave up on her decision to take Dongqing away directly.

"I didn't expect you could actually get the higher-ups to change their decision. I underestimated you." Du Qiangwei glanced at Dong Qing, then focused her gaze on Qi Lin.

“My dad is Professor Huang’s student. You think you’re so great because of the National Security Bureau? Try touching a single hair on my man.” Qi Lin directly revealed her powerful backer.

"Elder Huang..."

Du Qiangwei fell silent. There are five elders on Earth, known as the Five Elders Star.

This old man, known as Elder Huang, is the supreme ruler of Earth's civilization. His power is far beyond what a security bureau team leader like her can resist.

"Cowhide!"

Su Xiaoli didn't know what to say, so she could only give a thumbs up.

"Even if you have a powerful background, Brother Qing isn't yours alone. I, Su Xiaoli, will fight you for him." Su Xiaoli was absolutely determined.

Because of her unique family background, her ancestors were mostly mistresses. She never thought of possessing Dongqing for herself. She decided that this time she could follow in her ancestors' footsteps and become Dongqing's mistress.

As for competing with Qi Lin for the position of the main wife, that's still a long shot. Now that the Five Elders of Earth are involved, Su Xiaoli is very clear about her own abilities.

"I won't take him with me, I just want to ask him a few questions, Qilin, is that alright?"

After much deliberation, Du Qiangwei decided to back down. She had come following orders from the Security Bureau, and now that she hadn't brought anyone back, she couldn't possibly return empty-handed.

"No way," Qi Lin said stubbornly.

She is not an overbearing person by nature, but whenever Dongqing is involved, she loses her usual gentleness and becomes overbearing and selfish, not allowing outsiders to bully Dongqing.

"Dongqing, you're a man, you can't make your own decisions, can you?"

Seeing that things weren't going well with Qi Lin, Du Qiangwei resorted to reverse psychology, trying to get Dong Qing to take the initiative in answering her questions, thus bypassing the lofty background behind Qi Lin.

"Me, make the decision? I've never listened to her more than anyone else in my life." Dong Qing shrugged.

Seeing that Dong Qing was unyielding, Du Qiangwei had no choice but to glare at him with her fiery eyes before storming off in a huff.

After Du Qiangwei left, Qi Lin was surprised to find that Su Xiaoli, that vixen, was practically pressed against Dong Qing's chest, and hurriedly chased Su Xiaoli away.

The time that follows.

Only Dongqing and Qilin remained. Alone, they were like dry wood meeting a raging fire. Having already crossed the final barrier in their relationship, they exchanged glances and began their job change with practiced ease.

Not bad.

Dongqing and Qilin had already tasted forbidden fruit several years ago in this universe, which is why Dongqing has always wanted to return to Earth.

........

A day passed, and the next morning arrived.

"Yu Niang left a message in the email saying that you went back and awakened your power. What power did you awaken? It wasn't just that you did *that* one night and then your back and legs didn't ache anymore, was it?"

Qi Lin lay on Dong Qing's chest, her slender white fingers unconsciously drawing circles on his chest. She was infatuated with his scent, but also afraid of his power that seemed to want to tear her apart.

"Does physical invincibility count as strength?" Dong Qing thought for a moment and asked.

"Invincible in terms of physical strength? How invincible? Do you think you can take a bath inside a nuclear bomb?" Qi Lin said irritably.

"Don't even mention taking a bath inside a nuclear bomb, even taking a bath in the sun would be easy," Dong Qing said confidently.

"Nobody would believe that." Qi Lin rolled her eyes dramatically.

“You’ve forgotten, I’m an alien,” Dongqing reminded him.

These words were spoken.

Qi Lin was stunned. She had really forgotten that Dong Qing was an alien. She quickly asked, "Dong Qing, if you are an alien, why do you look exactly like a human?"

In her preconceived notion.

Aliens are always depicted as having huge heads, like giant dolls, or as skinny as bamboo poles. I never thought aliens looked like Earthlings.

"This is Qilin, your blind spot. It is known that a war of physical forms has occurred in the universe. Our kind is called the Divine River Body. We all look pretty much the same, with one head, two hands, and two feet."

Dong Qing flaunted the knowledge he had gained from the female ant Yuniang [alias: Lü Yuniang], looking smug, which made Qi Lin instantly realize that what this man was saying all came from someone else.

They've been childhood sweethearts since they were little. How could she not know what this man was thinking? Even if he didn't say anything, she could read what he wanted to say from his eyes. That's how close they were as childhood sweethearts.

However, some things are strange.

Logically speaking...

Childhood sweethearts often find it difficult to stay together; there's even a saying that childhood sweethearts are no match for those who fall from the sky.

But Dongqing and Qilin were an exception. They grew up together, went to school together, and their relationship did not become dull. Instead, it became as mellow as wine under the constant polishing of time.

Some people and some things, once you meet them, you meet them. On the day they met, she knew he was her Prince Charming, and he felt in his heart that she needed him to protect her for the rest of his life.

Earth's Memories Timeline

That year, Dongqing was three years old. He once wished for a game console, but the female ant Yuniang (alias: Lü Yuniang) who pretended to be poor made him unable to ask.

A dream is a dream, and Dong Qing has the motivation to work hard for it. He will not complain or blame anyone, nor will he blame the female ant Yuniang [pseudonym: Lü Yuniang].

Driven by his dream, Dongqing decided to sell his soul. He wandered through the streets and alleys of Juxia City, specifically collecting plastic bottles to sell as scrap.

that's it.

He spent more than a month saving up twenty yuan to buy a pixelated game console, an old game console that had been obsolete for almost ten years.

But it was on this very day.

Qi Lin, dressed like a little princess, happened to appear in front of Dong Qing. At this moment, she was being bullied by several boys who were about seven or eight years old.

The boy's purpose in bullying Qilin was simple: to steal the snacks from her hand.

These snacks are all high-end products in supermarkets and are very expensive. It's not that they can't afford them, but ordinary families certainly wouldn't waste money on them for their children.

Among the surrounding crowd were several burly men in black who wanted to step forward and pull the boys apart, but a small figure bumped into them right before their eyes.

At this time, Dong Qing had the physique of a normal child. Although he possessed a trace of the original pure bloodline of the Heavenly Horned Ant, he had not yet awakened his bloodline.

In other words.

Back on Earth, three-year-old Dongqing was basically no better than a normal three-year-old child. If you had to say something, you could only say that he was thicker-skinned than the average person.

At the beginning.

Dong Qing was being beaten to a pulp by these seven or eight-year-old boys. They were five or six years older and much weaker, but the more they beat him, the more they realized something was wrong.

Dong Qing's eyes were terrifying; the fighting spirit they contained filled them with dread, as if the person before them was not a human, but a terrifying being that had existed since time immemorial.

And so, one side grew increasingly less confident as the fight went on, while the other side grew increasingly imposing. Dong Qing even inexplicably felt that something inside him was about to burst forth.

A few minutes later.

As one boy's nose bled from being hit by Dongqing, several other boys scattered and fled upon seeing this, completely ignoring the boy with the bleeding nose kneeling at Dongqing's feet begging for mercy.

"If you bully anyone again, I'll beat you up every time I see you."

After saying that.

Dongqing ignored the boy with a nosebleed and turned to walk to Qilin, who was standing to the side.

"Little sister, are you alright?"

Dong Qing, who was covered in dust and dirt, grinned happily, revealing a bright smile.
