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

Despite being a pure-blooded Skyhorn Ant and naturally at the top of the food chain, Dong Qing is nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter when it comes to matters of love and relationships.

Qian Renxue is now a wolf, while Dong Qing is a little lamb.

The wolf wants to eat the sheep!

Chapter 156, Light and Darkness [Two Bonus Chapters]

Seeing the increasingly strange look in Qian Renxue's eyes, Dong Qing seemed flustered. It was the first time he had faced such a scene, and he felt at a loss.

"Sister, please have some self-respect..." Dong Qing tried to push away Hei Qianrenxue, but his neck was locked. Afraid of hurting her, he didn't dare to use force and could only persuade her with words.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm going to bully you today." At this moment, a trace of darkness quietly emerged from the source of light deep within Qian Renxue's body.

Light and darkness may seem like extremes, but they are interdependent and coexist.

Light possesses the most magnificent colors, the clearest and most lively eyes, and the purest white angel wings. Its sacred aura carries a radiant glow, enveloping hope under the clear sky. Everything is so beautiful, so beautiful it seems unreal.

Darkness possesses the most mysterious aura, the most sorrowful and profound pupils, and the darkest demon wings. It touches the softest part of one's heart with such sadness that it seems there is nothing left in the world worth cherishing, and despair always lies behind hope.

Where there is light, there is darkness; where there is darkness, there is light. Light strives to find darkness, and darkness frantically seeks light. The goal is singular: to defeat the other.

Only after being baptized by darkness can one truly cherish the light. The preciousness of light comes entirely from the solitude of darkness. After you have passed through countless days and nights, you have experienced the baptism of darkness and light time and time again.

You'll suddenly realize that then.

Darkness exists because of the existence of light, and light exists because of the existence of darkness.

.......

I spent a sleepless night, but successfully changed jobs.

[Title: Six-Winged Angel Knight of Light] [Title: Six-Winged Angel Knight of Darkness]

At dawn, the sun rises.

Looking out the window, Dongqing saw that in the azure valley of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, the air was quiet, and the morning mist, like a gorgeous ribbon, lingered around various exotic flowers and plants that were about to bloom.

These exotic flowers and herbs are all immature celestial herbs, including the batch of celestial herbs that Dongqing and Qianrenxue picked before. Their seeds, which fell by chance, have now sprouted tender shoots.

I believe that in a few decades, these divine herbs will mature under the nourishment of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. However, by then, Dong Qing himself will definitely not need them anymore; they will most likely be given to his women.

After half an hour.

Qian Renxue walked behind Dong Qing, hugged his waist, and pressed her forehead against his back. At this moment, she had returned to her normal state, her golden hair shining brightly.

Or, to put it another way, Qian Renxue had already recovered by the second half of the night, while Dark Qian Renxue was now fast asleep.

"Sister, I..." Dong Qing hesitated, wondering what had happened to him. Had he been forced into that position by a woman?

Most importantly, he originally wanted to think about those strange things when he was eighteen, but he was forced to become an adult at fourteen, which left him feeling somewhat lost.

"Xiaoqing, just say what you want to say. Is there anything we can't say between us?"

Qian Renxue really liked Dong Qing's scent, a scent that made her feel incredibly safe. Now that she had shed her girlhood, she also exuded the aura of a young woman.

"If our relationship gets back to Senior Sister, she might..." Dong Qing hesitated, unsure of what to say next. He was worried that Hu Liena would come and fight with Qian Renxue.

The gap between the two was too great; it was a difference in absolute strength. He didn't want to see either of them get hurt.

"What does it have to do with me? It's your greed, Xiaoqing, that made you want both of us. Anyway, since she dares to compete with me for the position of the main wife, I will definitely not show any mercy."

Qian Renxue had no sympathy for Dong Qing. If Hu Liena were a follower like Zhu Zhuqing, or a private possession like Blue Silver Emperor A Yin and Xiao Wu, she wouldn't bother with them.

But Hu Liena is different. She is the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. Putting aside talent and everything else, at least in terms of status, she is no less than Qian Renxue.

Status and position are what most people care about most. Many times, in order to be superior to others, countless people have given their all for it.

As you can see, even among those who claim to have seen through everything—immortals, gods, and Buddhas—there is still a well-ordered hierarchy of status and position within the ranks.

.....

After a while of tender moments, around noon, an old acquaintance arrived at the Valley of the Two Elements of Ice and Fire.

Li Qiyun, titled Overlord Flower, is 52 years old, a level 93 Power Attack type, a Title Douluo, and belongs to the Hall of Worship Title Douluo. Her Martial Soul is the Overlord Spear that breaks through formations.

"Xue'er, the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace can't keep this a secret any longer. As the Crown Prince of the Empire, you can't be missing for too long. There are still many things waiting for you to handle," Li Qiyun said.

As a woman, and a qualified woman, she naturally and keenly noticed the change in Qian Renxue's temperament—the transformation from a young girl to a young woman.

However, she did not reveal the truth, after all, it was Dongqing and Qianrenxue's private matter, and it was up to them to decide whether to expose their relationship.

"Many things? That old codger, Emperor Xueye, is clinging to his power. What could possibly happen if I didn't go back?" Qian Renxue said calmly.

If it weren't for Empress Xueye's inability to relinquish power, she would have become the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire long ago.

"But Xue'er, you need to know that you've put in a lot of effort to secure the identity of Xue Qinghe in order to take over the Heavenly Dou Empire. Are you sure you want to give it up now?" Li Qiyun asked curiously.

In fact, she didn't want Qian Renxue to waste time plotting to seize the Heaven Dou Empire. With that free time, she would be better off cultivating her soul power and becoming a Title Douluo as soon as possible.

"Give up..." Qian Renxue hadn't originally intended to do so, but now, she really wanted to cling to Dong Qing 24/7, and she was starting to really not want to be the crown prince anymore.

Seeing Qian Renxue's slightly hesitant expression, Dong Qing quickly said, "Sister, how can you give up now? If you give up now, won't all your hard work over the years be wasted?"

He didn't care about what would happen in the future, but he couldn't give up now. Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu were naturally happy that Qian Renxue had returned to the Spirit Hall, as it meant that their rebellious daughter and granddaughter had finally grown up.

In the fantasy world, strength reigns supreme. So what if someone is an emperor? In the hands of peerless Douluo like Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong, they are nothing more than an ant that can be crushed at will.

But now that Qian Renxue has returned to the Spirit Hall, she will inevitably fight Hu Liena, and Dong Qing will not be able to help either side.

After all, no matter what kind of relationship it is, the worst thing you can do is show favoritism.

“That sounds reasonable, but I have a feeling that you don’t want me to go back to Wuhun City, Xiaoqing?” Qian Renxue asked suspiciously.

It was probably a woman's intuition. Qian Renxue sensed that Dong Qing seemed to be deliberately preventing her from returning.

However, what he said makes some sense. After all, it would be hard to give up so many years of hard work. Even if she didn't care about the throne, she had worked so hard for so many years, and it would be a waste to give it to Xue Beng.

"Sister, you misunderstand. Of course, I wish I could be with you every day, but I just can't bear to see your years of hard work go to waste."

"You should know that the reputation of the benevolent Prince Qinghe that you played has already spread throughout the Heaven Dou Empire. In the eyes of the world, you are the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire. Moreover, the people of the Heaven Dou Empire have suffered under Emperor Xueye for too long. Giving up now would be unwise."

Dong Qing's voice sounded righteous and indignant, and he patted his chest, as if he was completely thinking of you.

Chapter 157, A Hemp Rope

"Alright, sister, I'll listen to you. I'll go back now and send someone to kill that old bastard, Emperor Xueye." After Qian Renxue finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave, looking like she was going back to the Spirit Hall to call for people to suppress and kill Emperor Xueye.

In fact, Qian Renxue had this idea in her heart for a long time, but she did not take action due to various factors.

Seeing this, Dong Qing quickly hugged Qian Renxue around the waist, gently embracing her body, and said in a kind voice, "Sister, dear sister, don't be impulsive, take it slow, the Heavenly Dou Empire will eventually be ours."

There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. If the matter is eventually exposed, the Spirit Hall will be disgraced, which is something Dong Qing absolutely does not want to see.

To kill Emperor Xueye, one must break through the defenses of the royal guardians surrounding him. To do so, one must use the power of a Title Douluo of level 95 or higher.

As for poisoning Emperor Xueye, that was a last resort, a desperate choice made only when there was absolutely no other way.

It should be noted that the previous princes had already been poisoned. If the same method were used to poison Emperor Xue Ye, anyone would suspect the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

...

Dong Qing understood this, and Qian Renxue naturally understood it too. She had only said it on purpose, but if Dong Qing hadn't stopped her, she might have actually done it.

Some women become silly, impulsive, and unlike themselves because of the man they love. Please don't despise her; she just cares about you too much.

"Alright, I'll let that Snow Night Emperor go for now. But don't rush back to Martial Soul City. Stay here for now and wait for me to come back. I have something good for you."

After Qian Renxue finished speaking, she left with Li Qiyun. However, the six-winged angel martial spirit behind her was a bit strange, exuding a magical charm.

Thanks to the fusion of light and darkness, coupled with Dong Qing's innate yang energy and Qian Renxue's six-winged angel martial soul, it has now begun to evolve silently.

After Qian Renxue left, Dong Qing rubbed his aching lower back.

He then let out a soft sigh, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and lamented, "Life is always full of surprises. This time I lost the most important thing in my life, and I am no longer the naive young man I once was."

Actually, Qian Renxue is great in every way, except that her self-recovery ability is too strong. He really couldn't handle it last night.

The awakening of Dark Qian Renxue not only greatly enhanced the strength of Qian Renxue herself, granting her the ability to use dark power, but also greatly enhanced her recovery ability.

Now Qian Renxue can freely wield the power of darkness, just as easily and directly as she wields the power of light.

A knocking sound rang out on the door.

Bai Chenxiang then tiptoed in. When she came to Dong Qing's side, she stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "Your Highness, the five thousand cavalry have assembled and we are ready to set off back to Wuhun City at any time."

"Okay, I understand, but I might be delayed for a few more hours," Dong Qing nodded.

Dong Qing gave the cavalry a day off, allowing them to freely explore Tian Dou City. After all, they had worked hard for more than three months and needed some time to relax.

As for Bai Chenxiang, like Zhu Zhuqing, she is now Dong Qing's confidante and follower. Because of her martial soul, the Sharp-tailed Swift, she is the best messenger.

Since she started following Dong Qing and cultivating her soul power by his side half a year ago, her soul power has advanced from a level 26 Great Soul Master to a level 29 Great Soul Master.

Although the improvement may seem small, given her talent, this rate of advancement is already quite fast.

Just as Bai Chenxiang was about to leave, Dong Qing sensed something was wrong, grabbed her shoulder, and straightened her body to face him.

Seeing that she was still looking down, not daring to look at him, he reached out and gently lifted her chin. Looking closely, he saw dark circles under her eyes.

"Xiangxiang, tell me the truth, what did you do last night?" Dongqing asked curiously.

"I... I didn't do anything..." Bai Chenxiang stammered, her face flushed with embarrassment, her bright eyes darting left and right, not daring to look Dong Qing in the eye.

After Bai Chenxiang activated her Swift Martial Soul and flew away, Dong Qing saw Zhu Zhuqing, who also had dark circles under her eyes, and immediately understood what they had been doing last night.

Goodness! It seems we'll need to build some well-insulated rooms in the future.

As Dong Qing was pondering, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly produced a rope from somewhere and, without warning, tied him up and took him back to the room, throwing him onto the bed.

"Zhuqing, what are you doing? Don't be impulsive..."

"Whatever she does, I will do too."

"My sister will be back later."

...

About an hour later, Qian Renxue returned.

"Xiaoqing, I'm very satisfied with your performance. I'll give you this little thing. I know you're collecting faith power in preparation for reaching level 100 and becoming a god, but just in case, you should keep this Vast Ocean Universe Cover."

Qian Renxue took out a blue cube from her spatial soul tool. It emitted a faint light and had sharp edges, making it look like something extraordinary.

"I don't want it." Dong Qing looked disgusted. He didn't want this thing. Wouldn't it be better to just reach level 100 and become a god?
