Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 554 The Strange Twin Martial Souls
"Senior sister, what do you mean by 'rescue'? Isn't the Body Sect always protective of its own?" Qian Gu Huang Yu asked hastily when she saw that the situation was quite different from what she had expected.

Yue Hongchen said, "Then I'll start from the beginning. The Body Sect disciple who sought protection from the Spirit Transmission Tower was named Liu Yueyi."

"She is a disciple of Mu Tian, ​​the current sect master of the Body Sect. She grew up in the Body Sect from a young age and can be said to have been raised by Mu Tian as his daughter."

"Then why would someone like that betray the Body Sect?" Gu Yuena asked.

Because of a certain imperial auspicious beast from ten thousand years ago, Gu Yuena has never had a good impression of these traitors.

Yue Hongchen made a startling statement: "Because Mu Tian no longer wants to be just her master and disciple."

"What do you mean?" Qian Gu Huang Yu raised an eyebrow. "Could it be that her teacher has fallen for her disciple?"

Yue Hongchen said, "No, Liu Yueyi's martial soul is quite special. She has the twin martial souls of Thunder and Drum."

"Her drum-shaped martial spirit is quite special, as it also includes some other surrounding organs. In other words, if she becomes pregnant, she is essentially using her martial spirit to nurture the child."

"Similarly, because her martial soul also contains the Great Thunder, after the child is born, she will essentially be using her martial soul to nourish the child."

“If you nurture her with your martial spirit, then you can imagine what kind of terrifying talent Liu Yueyi’s child will possess.”

The Douluo Continent is a world of martial spirits. If a child is conceived and nurtured by a martial spirit, then that child will stand at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent from birth.

Qian Gu Huang Yu said in a deep voice, "The Body Sect is currently facing a shortage of successors. Senior Sister, do you mean that the reason why the Body Sect Master Mu Tian took Liu Yueyi as his disciple was actually just to have offspring with her?"

Yue Hongchen nodded slightly. "That's right. Mu Tian has taken meticulous care of Liu Yueyi over the years and has given her a lot of cultivation resources."

"Mu Tian's goal is to have a child with Liu Yueyi after she breaks through to the Title Douluo level, a child that will be able to change the fate of the Body Sect."

"But Liu Yueyi naturally didn't want to be a baby-making machine for her teacher, so she ran away when Mu Tian was away."

"When Liu Yueyi came to the Spirit Pagoda to find me and told me the reason for the matter, I decided to help her."

“I can’t just stand by and watch her be defiled by a beast.”

"Junior sister, this was a decision I made on my own. I will accept any punishment from headquarters."

Although both Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na came from the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, Yue Hong Chen was two levels higher than Gu Yue Na.

Although strictly speaking, Qian Gu Huang Yu is only on par with Yue Hong Chen, and even slightly inferior in terms of power.

But as the daughter of Qian Gu Die Ting, she can naturally represent the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda to a certain extent.

“Senior sister, if that’s the case, then I support you. One of the responsibilities of the Spirit Pagoda is to protect weak Soul Masters. You’re doing the right thing,” said Qian Gu Huang Yu.

Gu Yuena said, "However, why did you go into seclusion after saving Liu Yueyi? Only you know about everything. Shouldn't you be focusing on your cultivation now?"

Gu Yuena was very puzzled by this. If Liu Yueyi had tackled the problem in time, the Spirit Pagoda would not be in such a passive situation now.

A hint of apology flashed across Yue Hongchen's fair face. "I won't hide it from you. After deciding to take the risk to save Liu Yueyi, I suddenly had a moment of enlightenment and immediately went into seclusion."

"Enlightenment?" Qian Gu Huang Yu asked curiously.

Yue Hongchen said, "I don't know if the teacher has told you about me. I come from the Hongchen family. Ten thousand years ago, we were powerful and influential, but we gradually declined later."

"When I was born, my father was only a five-ring Soul King, and my mother was only a two-ring Great Soul Master."

"But my good fortune didn't last long. Before I awakened my martial soul, my father also passed away. Therefore, I am actually from a commoner background."

“Because my father passed away, our family’s income plummeted. As you know, the price of spirits is exorbitant. In order to afford a suitable spirit, I have been living a very miserable life.”

Even though I got into the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, my life still didn't improve. Although the academy provides subsidies, the price of ten-thousand-year soul spirits is still too expensive.

"While my roommates were out partying at various entertainment venues in Mingdu, I could only stay in the dorm and eat sweet potatoes by myself in order to save money."

"Although I have some talent, before I met my teacher, there were people who wanted to take me as their apprentice."

"But without exception, they all demanded that I marry their offspring."

At this point, a hint of sadness flashed in Yue Hongchen's beautiful heterochromatic eyes. Clearly, she refused; she was unwilling to trade her future for her own.

"I'm sorry, Senior Sister..." Qian Gu Huang Yu said apologetically.

Yue Hongchen waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's nothing, it's all in the past. Later, when I was most helpless, it was my teacher who changed me. She took me as her disciple and gave me a lot of resources, even a ten-thousand-year-old soul spirit for free."

"If it weren't for my teacher's guidance back then, I might still be teaching at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Of course, there's nothing wrong with teaching and nurturing people, but the Spirit Pagoda would offer me a much wider world!"

"Liu Yueyi and I are in similar situations. She comes from the slums and her martial soul is mutated. No matter what Mu Tian's original purpose was, he did save Liu Yueyi, just like my teacher saved me."

"So when I learned that Liu Yueyi had been betrayed by her mentor, I immediately felt the same way because of our similar experiences."

"When I saved her, I had a strange feeling that I hadn't saved her, but another version of myself that wasn't so lucky."

"If it weren't for my teacher's great care and the many resources she provided, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"Perhaps it was because of this resonance that I had a sense of enlightenment after saving Liu Yueyi."

"In order to capture this feeling, I immediately went into seclusion, without even having time to prepare many things."

"However, the result was good. I broke through two levels this time, and my cultivation level reached level ninety-seven."

Qian Gu Huang Yu nodded slightly. This cannot be faked. A year ago, when Yue Hongchen was sent by Bei Gong Li to be the tower master of the Star Luo Empire's Spirit Transmission Tower, she was level ninety-five.

He had just broken through to Super Douluo a year ago, and now he's already at level 97. Such a terrifying leveling speed must have come from some extraordinary encounter.

After a brief chat about Liu Yueyi, Qian Gu Huang Yu began to inquire about the Star Luo Empire.

Yue Hongchen said, "Compared to us, the Star Luo Empire is closer to the Tang Sect. Therefore, when faced with the Federation's invasion, the Star Luo Empire sided with the Tang Sect almost without hesitation."

"The only problem is that although the Tang Sect is willing to provide weapons to the Star Luo Empire, there are too many restrictions, so Dai Lingxun and Chen Yi have not been able to reach an agreement."

"Chen Yi? She's here too?" Qian Gu Huang Yu asked when Yue Hong Chen suddenly mentioned her second aunt's husband.

Yue Hongchen said, "Chenyi is the leader of the Tang Sect delegation, and she will be in charge of negotiating the cooperation between Xingluo and Douling." "However, if I may be frank, unless we are willing to share all the methods for making Soul Armor, the Xingluo Empire will never side with us."

...

After chatting with Yue Hongchen for a while, Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na went to the room that Yue Hongchen had specially arranged for them.

Their rooms were right next to each other, with a door in each room that allowed them to easily go to each other's rooms.

Moreover, each of their rooms is equipped with a double bed, and even two sets of bedding are prepared for each bed.

"Huang'er, do you think Yue Hongchen's words are true?" Gu Yuena asked, sitting on a chair by the window, looking at the beautiful scenery below.

Qian Gu Huang Yu sat opposite Gu Yue Na and said softly, "The matter concerning Liu Yue Yi should be true. She couldn't possibly lie about this. After all, she will most likely still be confronting the Body Sect in the future, so she could easily find out by asking."

"But the reasons she gave for agreeing to protect Liu Yueyi were mostly false. Her protection of Liu Yueyi was definitely not out of any empathy or compassion."

"At least that can't be the main reason."

Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow. "Huang'er, what do you mean by that?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Before we set off from the Sun and Moon Federation, my grandmother told me about my senior sister."

"Her family had indeed fallen on hard times and she was of commoner origin. My grandmother first met her at a banquet at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

"Grandma was the honorary dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and was invited to comment on the soul tools of the student representatives at that time."

"Yue Hongchen was one of the student representatives at the time, and Grandma only commented on her soul tool as usual."

"But then Yue Hongchen seemed to have an epiphany and knelt down in front of her grandmother, hoping that her grandmother would accept her as her disciple."

“No matter what the teachers and students around her said, Yue Hongchen remained kneeling and wouldn’t get up. In the end, her grandmother had no choice but to take her as her apprentice.”

Do you think someone who would risk everything for their own interests and future would give up their own interests because of a change in their heart?

"This matter could be a big deal or a small deal, but she might even be removed from her position as the head of the Star Luo Empire's Spirit Pagoda because of it."

"She worked her whole life to finally get to this position, how could she be willing to just hand it over to someone else?"

Gu Yuena said, "Huang'er, so you mean that Liu Yueyi offered Yue Hongchen a condition she couldn't refuse?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu nodded slightly. "That should be the case. She gained two levels in a week with a sudden enlightenment, and that's two levels of a Super Douluo. It wasn't deep meditation, so how could it be so easy?"

"Liu Yueyi is, after all, a disciple of the Sect Master of the Body Sect. She probably stole some treasure from the Body Sect for her, and that treasure just happened to be one she couldn't refuse."

Gu Yuena said, "Yue Hongchen's soul should be fully equipped, but I don't know if it's a soul bone."

“Actually, her soul spirits are not yet fully equipped,” Qian Gu Huang Yu said. “She has two martial souls. Her first martial soul, the Three-Legged Golden Toad, is indeed fully equipped with all the soul spirits, but her second martial soul, the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad, should only have one soul spirit.”

"She has twin martial souls?" Gu Yuena said with some surprise.

Qian Gu Huang Yu nodded slightly. "That's right. Her second martial soul, the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad, possesses both ice and fire attributes. When searching for a soul spirit, special attention must be paid to the balance between ice and fire."

"Besides fusing with a ten-thousand-year-old Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad as her first soul spirit, all her other soul rings are empty."

"However, considering the situation of the Body Sect, it is probably more likely that Liu Yueyi will give her a soul bone."

...

After escorting Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na to their rooms, Yue Hong Chen returned to his office.

"Yueyi, come out. They must have found you." Yue Hongchen looked at the curtains and said slowly.

As soon as Yue Hongchen finished speaking, the curtains were pulled open from behind, revealing a beautiful woman standing there gracefully.

She was tall and slender, with fair skin, bright black eyes, a straight nose, and cherry-like lips.

She wore a white shirt and blue jeans, but her conservative attire couldn't hide her beautiful figure at all.

She has large breasts and large hips, and when viewed from the side, she has a standard S-shaped curve.

However, her waist was extremely slender, making one wonder how such a delicate waist could support such a full figure.

Liu Yueyi's beautiful eyes held a hint of worry. "Yue, how is the situation now?"

Yue Hongchen shrugged. "What else can we do? The Body Sect is still barking like a mad dog outside the door."

"But none of that matters. After fusing the 100,000-year-old Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad spine bone you gave me, I'm confident I can handle even if your good master Mu Tian comes."

The reason Liu Yueyi was able to win over Yue Hongchen was because of a 100,000-year-old Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad's spine.

If it weren't for this soul bone, Yue Hongchen would never have dared to confront the Body Sect for Liu Yueyi.

Although Yue Hongchen is the tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower of the Star Luo Empire, she was parachuted in and has only just taken office. The Spirit Transmission Tower is far from being under her complete control and is not yet united.

If the 100,000-year-old soul bone hadn't been so precious and so perfectly compatible with her, Yue Hongchen would never have taken such a huge risk.

Yue Hongchen said, "The real trouble is my good junior sister. I don't know what she will choose. In her eyes, I am the old lady's person, not hers. I can reach an understanding with the old lady, but I may not be able to with her."

"I'm sorry..." Liu Yueyi's eyes showed some apology.

“There’s nothing to apologize for,” Yue Hongchen said slowly. “It’s just a matter of each getting what they need. How can one not take risks for the sake of profit?”

"Back then, I knelt down in front of so many people to become the old lady's apprentice, and I've been criticized for this for so many years."

"But so what? Now I am the deputy tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower. No matter whether they respect me or not, or how they curse me behind my back, they will still respectfully address me as the Red Dust Tower Master when they see me. That is enough."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't even be worthy of their attention. They not only badmouth me behind my back, they can insult me ​​to my face, and there's nothing I can do about it..."
