Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 569 The current solution is to marry the emperor off.

"What's wrong with me?" Qian Gu Huang Yu slowly opened her eyes and saw four mountains drifting before her eyes.

"!!!" Qian Gu Huang Yu coughed awkwardly, reminding Chen Yi and Ning Qinglan that she had woken up.

Seeing that Qian Gu Huang Yu had awakened, Chen Yi's fair face instantly turned bright red. [If this gets discovered, my career as vice sect leader will be over, right?]

"That... just now... just now actually was..."

However, before Chen Yi could finish explaining, Ning Qinglan interrupted her with a smile, "Xiao Yu, would you like to join us?"

"Although I may not be as pretty as your little dragon girl, my years of experience are something that little dragon girl can't compare to!"

A slight blush appeared on Qian Gu Huang Yu's face. She had thought that Chen Yi and Ning Qing Lan would be embarrassed by her discovery, but Ning Qing Lan turned the tables and put her in an awkward position.

Is this the lingering legacy of the older generation of aluminum-copper alloys?

Seeing that Qian Gu Huang Yu's brain was about to crash, Ning Qing Lan smiled and took Qian Gu Huang Yu's hand. "Alright, enough joking around. Thank you for stopping in the end, otherwise I would have to rely on you to comfort me on my boring nights."

Ning Qinglan's words did not reassure Qian Gu Huang Yu; instead, they made her feel even more awkward.

"No...actually...I should thank her for teaching me swordsmanship." Because of shyness and embarrassment, Qian Gu Huang Yu's words were somewhat intermittent.

In the end, Qian Gu Huang Yu also broke through to the Sword God realm. He naturally understood that Chen Yi was definitely not just slightly stronger than him, but deliberately suppressed her strength to only slightly stronger than him in order to teach him in the battle.

Unexpectedly, his high level of comprehension almost led to his downfall.

[So, Di Tian is completely misleading people! It took him more than ten years to teach me to the Sword Soul realm. A true master only needs one battle to make someone leap directly from the Sword Soul realm to the Sword God realm.] Qian Gu Huang Yu's thoughts gradually began to wander.

"Huang'er, are you alright?" Gu Yuena and Yue Hongchen finally arrived and found that Qian Gu Huang Yu had already woken up.

Seeing that the caretaker had arrived, Chen Yi handed the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather to Gu Yuena, who then supported the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather's back with one hand and hugged its calves with the other, lifting it up.

Yes, it's commonly known as a princess carry.

“Gu Yue…” Being picked up in a princess carry in front of outsiders, Qian Gu Huang Yu’s pretty face immediately showed a shy blush.

Seeing this, Yue Hongchen said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's find another place to discuss this in detail."

Even so, Yue Hongchen kept looking at Chenyi and Ning Qinglan, indicating that she hoped they could come along as well.

Before Qian Gu Huang Yu arrived, Yue Hong Chen had done her homework and knew that Ning Qing Lan was Qian Gu Huang Yu's second aunt. Although she was not sure about the relationship between Ning Qing Lan and Chen Yi, she had some guesses.

In addition, considering the interactions between Gu Yuena and Ning Qinglan these past few days, Yue Hongchen believes that Ning Qinglan and Chen Yi should not be outsiders.

As Yue Hongchen had expected, Ning Qinglan readily agreed.

...

Imperial Holiday Hotel.

The Imperial Holiday Hotel is the largest and most luxurious hotel in Xingluo City, the capital of the Xingluo Empire, that is not directly controlled by the royal family.

All the major factions have reserved private rooms here that are not open to the public.

To avoid attracting attention, Qian Gu Huang Yu and his group did not walk there, but instead broke through space and teleported directly to Yue Hong Chen's private room at the Imperial Holiday Hotel.

To show his sincerity, Yue Hongchen did not take Ning Qinglan and Chenyi to the exclusive private room of the Spirit Pagoda, but to his own private room.

As the tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower of the Star Luo Empire, it wouldn't be difficult for Yue Hongchen to have his own private room.

After all, no one would go against spirits and spirit armor. Even if you don't need them, you still have to consider your family and friends!
This was clearly not the first time Yue Hongchen had used a spatial manipulation technique to get here. After asking Qian Gu Huang Yu and the others what they liked to eat, he expertly called over a waiter to order.

The Imperial Holiday Hotel truly lives up to its reputation as one of the most luxurious hotels in the Star Luo Empire. The food was served quickly, and it was mostly made from Soul Beasts. Both the tableware and the rooms exuded luxury.

After all the dishes were served, Yue Hongchen said, "So, can someone explain what exactly happened in today's Five Gods' Battle?"

Although Yue Hongchen is also a Super Douluo, she mainly cultivates soul tools and does not play with weapons, so she naturally does not quite understand the direct clash of wills between Chenyi and Qian Gu Huangyu.

Qian Gu Huang Yu had recovered by this time, but Gu Yue Na still held her, citing her injuries not yet healed.

"Let me explain. Senior Chenyi put pressure on me through battles during the competition, helping me improve my swordsmanship."

"However, in the end, after I incorporated the time attribute into my sword intent, the power became too great and I couldn't control it."

"In the end, in order to forcibly stop the sword move, I suffered a backlash and passed out."

Because Chen Yi and Ning Qinglan's relationship was not public, Qian Gu Huang Yu naturally wouldn't call her "Second Uncle" in front of others.

In fact, although Qian Gu Huang Yu had some suspicions about the relationship between Chen Yi and Ning Qing Lan before, it was Ning Qing Yu who gave her the definite news.

When Qian Gu Huang Yu learned that this was true, she was slightly surprised.

"It was just a false alarm," Gu Yuena's husband, one of the parties involved, concluded.

"It's good that you're alright." Ning Qinglan nodded slightly, expressing her approval as the husband of the other party involved.

Seeing that neither Gu Yuena nor Ning Qinglan said anything, Yue Hongchen naturally wouldn't dwell on the matter and decided to laugh it off.

"What was the name of your last move?" Chen Yi suddenly asked. She could sense that if Qian Gu Huang Yu hadn't stopped at the last moment, she definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

"Yiyi!" Ning Qinglan gently tugged at Chenyi's sleeve. Although they were related, it was still too impolite to ask about her self-created soul skill directly.

Qian Gu Huang Yu didn't seem to care at all. "It's nothing. That move is called Time Blade, which can change the timeline you are in."

"Simply put, although you can see me, we are not in the same space and time."

"Unless someone's attack can transcend time, it absolutely cannot harm me. However, this move also consumes a great deal of my energy."

This is by no means an exaggeration by Qian Gu Huang Yu. After using the Time Blade, Qian Gu Huang Yu had very little soul power left, otherwise she wouldn't have fainted immediately after forcibly stopping the move.

Chen Yi muttered to herself, "No wonder all my attacks and defenses were ignored; the power of time is truly mysterious."

Chen Yi herself possesses spatial attributes, and she understands better than anyone how powerful space and time are as high-end attributes.

Since successfully transforming her Martial Soul into a sword and integrating the Dao of Space into her sword intent, she has been virtually invincible. However, she felt no jealousy; she was simply somewhat moved after encountering someone with a stronger attribute than herself.

After all, she had always used her attribute advantage to bully others before, so now she naturally had to accept that someone would use their attribute advantage to bully her.

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "I only acquired the Time attribute by chance. When it comes to swordsmanship, I am still inferior to you, senior."

Of course, Qian Gu Huang Yu understood that she was simply a high-stat, powerful, and fast-moving character. When it came to skill, ten of her couldn't compare to Chen Yi.

However, after Qian Gu Huang Yu comforted Chen Yi, he found that Chen Yi was looking at him with a mournful expression.

"Did I say something wrong?" Qian Gu Huang Yu was a little confused.

"She just wants me to comfort her, and then she'll just let me have my way with her tonight!" Ning Qinglan's voice suddenly reached Qian Gu Huang Yu's ears.

Qian Gu Huang Yu met Ning Qinglan's smiling eyes, and a strange expression couldn't help but appear on her face: [What a cheesy couple.]

After the events on the field were discussed, the atmosphere at the dinner table eased considerably, and the conversation quickly became more casual. If it weren't for Yue Hongchen being an outsider, Ning Qinglan would have directly asked Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na when they planned to get married.

"Xiaoyu, you must be careful tomorrow. Mu Tian will definitely stop at nothing to win, and he might even fight you to the death," Chenyi warned.

Ning Qinglan said, "That old guy must think you were seriously injured today, plus the things you gambled on were indeed too precious."

"It's fair to say that Mu Tian simply cannot accept the outcome of failure, and he will definitely fight desperately tomorrow."

Qian Gu Huang Yu asked, "Second Aunt, does Mu Tian have an indestructible golden body?"

Although Qian Gu Huang Yu didn't know much about the Body Sect, the fact that the Body Sect's Flawless Golden Body could surpass the Golden Dragon King in defensive power still left a deep impression on her.

Although Qian Gu Huang Yu remembers that a hundred years later, Tang Wulin's senior brother Aruheng was the first flawless golden body in a thousand years.

But this is the real world after all, and there are some things you have to confirm for yourself to be sure of.

Ning Qinglan said, "It shouldn't be. The Flawless Golden Body is almost a divine body. If that old man Mu Tian had really cultivated a divine body, the Body Sect would never have declined like this."

Qian Gu Huang Yu nodded slightly; now she could rest assured.

...

Star Luo Palace.

"Your Majesty, our scouts have confirmed that Qian Gu Huang Yu and Chen Yi went to the Imperial Holiday Hotel together," En Ci reported to Dai Ling Xun.

Dai Lingxun frowned deeply. The development of events had greatly exceeded her expectations. This did not refer to the Five Gods' Decree, but rather that the Tang Sect, which should have been on their side, was now in an ambiguous relationship with the Spirit Pagoda.

Enci said, "Ning Qinglan, who came with Chenyi this time, is actually Qian Gu Huang Yu's second aunt. The Tang Clan should still support His Majesty."

Hearing this, Dai Lingxun's expression softened a bit. She looked at Mu Tian and asked, "Sect Master Mu, tomorrow is the final Five Gods Showdown. How confident are you?"

Mu Tian said in a deep voice, "I will bring back victory to His Majesty tomorrow no matter what!"

After Mu Tian left, Dai Lingxun suddenly asked, "Imperial Advisor, do you think Qian Gu Huang Yu would agree if I proposed to her?"

A strange look immediately appeared on Grace's face. "Your Majesty, please don't joke around."

Dai Lingxun said, "I am not joking. In terms of both status and strength, she is worthy of me. As the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, I should not be disgracing the reputation of this future master of the Spirit Pagoda."

"More importantly, with a great war imminent, if the Spirit Pagoda can really stand on our side, then the mere Sun Moon Federation is nothing to worry about."

Enci remained silent. He knew that Dai Lingxun was serious, and he couldn't find any fault with her. After all, if the Spirit Pagoda really sided with the Star Luo Empire, it would be of great help to them.

...

Imperial Holiday Hotel.

"Second Aunt, you've come here on behalf of the Tang Clan. What exactly do you want to do this time? Are you going to sell weapons to Xingluo so they can deal with the Federation's invasion?" Qian Gu Huang Yu asked.

Ning Qinglan glanced at Chen Yi, and after receiving Chen Yi's permission, said, "It's roughly the same as what you said. The Holy Spirit Cult is currently hiding in the shadows. If the Federation and Xingluo go to war with the Douling Empire..."

"This will inevitably generate a large number of souls and corpses, which will further strengthen the foundation of the Holy Spirit Cult."

"Moreover, although the Dragon Lord is dead, according to Mortis's live stream clips, his daughter is probably also at the Divine Origin Realm in terms of spiritual power."

"Motis, Li Renwang, Harosa, Ye Lingshang, Yin Zhibin, and that unfathomable Demon Emperor, the Holy Spirit Cult now has at least six Limit Douluo in charge, even stronger than when the Dragon Lord was around."

"In addition, if a large-scale war breaks out, it will inevitably lead to widespread death and destruction, which is something we do not want to see."

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "But the Federation is really serious this time. As it stands, both the hawks and the doves support this war against foreign powers."

"Yu Haosheng and his group forced my grandmother to agree to a war allowance, which was to equip the Limit Douluo commanders who participated in foreign wars with four-word soul armor."

"It can be said that this war between Xingluo and Douling is not only because the Douluo Continent is short of resources and wants to plunder from outside, but also because the major military families have made up their minds to take action."

"Even if the weapons provided by the Tang Sect can stop the Federation's fleet, how many quasi-gods can they stop?"

Ning Qinglan fell silent. As the sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, she couldn't possibly be unaware of these matters. However, this was the will of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. As the wife of the deputy sect leader of the Tang Sect, supporting the Tang Sect was her inescapable responsibility.

After a pause, Qian Gu Huang Yu continued, "If the Federation is determined to destroy Xing Luo and Dou Ling, which side will the Tang Sect stand on?"

Just as Chen Yi was about to speak, Ning Qinglan interrupted her, saying, "If it really comes to that, we won't stand against you."

Qian Gu Huang Yu blinked. She understood that Ning Qinglan was referring to "us" rather than "Tang Sect." In other words, if Tang Sect insisted on its own way, they might even leave Tang Sect.

Chen Yi looked at Ning Qinglan in surprise, never expecting her lover to make such a rebellious statement.

Ning Qinglan looked at Chen Yi apologetically and transmitted her voice, "I'm sorry, I am first and foremost the sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and only then your lover."

Ning Qinglan understood perfectly well that if the Tang Sect were to completely collapse, then other Soul Clans could easily deal with a small sect like the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

She couldn't take her sect and her lover with her to their deaths.
