Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 423 The Vast Ocean Universe Cover: A Surprise for Bing'er
"Ten years is enough."

Lin Xiao isn't a slave owner. If it really lasts a hundred years, what's the difference between that and treating Zhu Zhuqing as a slave?
Zhu Zhuqing spoke earnestly and firmly:
"Then fifty years."

"Lin Xiao, I really don't want to take advantage of you. I know my talent is actually just average, and I feel really bad that you've helped me so many times..."

Moreover, once Zhu Zhuqing becomes a Title Douluo...

The pressure from the Star Luo Empire vanished.

She accepted so many benefits without saying a word. In fact, without Lin Xiao, she would not have been able to break through to the Title Douluo level based on her own talent alone. How could she repay such a debt of gratitude in just ten years?

Lin Xiao is still considering it.

Zhu Zhuqing, however, had already taken out paper and pen and altered the contract.

The "10 years" was changed to "50 years".

He then signed his name.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao did not press the matter further.

Anyway, if we don't need Zhu Zhuqing by then, we can just let her go free as soon as possible.

We can't just leave her to take care of our child when there's nothing else going on, can we?

……

They left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Lin Xiao did not return home, but instead headed towards the Crown Prince's residence.

He has one more thing to do.

Although as long as one gains the Sea God's approval, one can initiate the Nine Trials of the Sea God regardless of whether or not one possesses the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover (also known as the Heart of the Sea God) is, after all, an important inheritance of the Sea God, and its functions are extremely powerful.

The Heart of the Sea God possesses skills such as the Vast Ocean Protective Shield, the Vast Ocean Stabilizing Shield, and the Vast Ocean Raging Waves.

The Vast Ocean Protective Shield can conceal one's presence and hide one's aura;

The Vast Ocean Mind-Stabilizing Shield can immobilize enemies, and it is effective against enemies whose mental strength does not exceed three times that of the user.

The Vast Ocean Raging Waves is a group attack soul skill that can unleash tremendous power on the sea.

How could my Bing'er not have such a wonderful thing?

Before Bing'er went to Seagod Island, Lin Xiao was determined to get the Heart of Seagod!
The Vast Ocean Universe Cover is the national treasure of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Lin Xiao had asked for it before, but Emperor Xue Ye's request was for Lin Xiao to marry Princess Xue Ke, which Lin Xiao refused.

In the original novel, Tang San was able to obtain the Vast Ocean Universe Cover because the Heaven Dou Empire was on the verge of collapse, and Emperor Xue Ye had to reluctantly part with it in order to win over Tang San.

That condition is not available now.

But Lin Xiao knew that Qian Renxue definitely had a way.

We arrived at the Crown Prince's residence.

After the guards announced his arrival, Lin Xiao was led to the Crown Prince's study.

……

The prince's study.

Qian Renxue has been quite busy lately.

Some time ago, she received a secret letter from Qian Daoliu, saying that the Nine Trials of the Angels had begun and that she should take some time to go to the Douluo Palace to undergo the Angel God Trial.

Therefore, Qian Renxue announced to the public that she was going into seclusion.

After some time, I will prepare to go to Wuhun City.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao came to visit at this time.

Qian Renxue stood quietly in front of her desk, somewhat expectant.

She had met countless people, but Lin Xiao had always left a deep impression on her. Every time she met him, she could relieve the pressure she had been under for a long time.

Do not know why.

Despite knowing that Lin Xiao had confirmed his relationship with Shui Bing'er and her two senior sisters, Qian Renxue didn't feel much resistance. On the contrary, she felt that Lin Xiao was more attractive to her.

"Unfortunately, my identity as the Crown Prince of Tiandou has led me astray."

Qian Renxue sighed softly.

At this moment, the guards led Lin Xiao to the study.

Qian Renxue composed herself, gestured to Lin Xiao to invite her to sit down at the tea table where teaware had already been placed.

"Distinguished guest, please try some of the tea from my Crown Prince's residence."

Lin Xiao took her seat with a smile.

He picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and exclaimed, "Excellent tea!"

"Your Highness is so busy with affairs, I didn't expect you to be so proficient in tea ceremony."

Qian Renxue smiled and said:

"It's just a way to relax and unwind during my free time."

"This is hardly suitable for refined occasions." "Lin Xiao, do you only come here when you have something important to discuss?"

Lin Xiao got straight to the point:

"Your Highness, I would like to ask you for a favor."

"What's the deal?"

"I want the Vast Ocean Universe Cover!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's expression did not change much, but she gave Lin Xiao a meaningful look.

"The Vast Ocean Universe Cover is the national treasure of the Heavenly Dou royal family..."

"Without my father's permission, even I am not qualified to decide to give someone away."

Lin Xiao smiled and said:
"Your Highness is no ordinary person. I believe you have a way."

Qian Renxue was even capable of poisoning Xue Ye.

How could we possibly not be able to get our hands on a mere Vast Ocean Universe Cover?

The only difference lies in the method she uses and whether she is willing to do it.

Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, then asked:

"Is the Vast Ocean Universe Cover very important to you?"

"It's just useful."

After pondering for a while, Qian Renxue chuckled softly.

"There is a solution, but it's not an easy one."

Lin Xiao said, "I can give His Highness the pills to increase his strength."

Qian Renxue shook her head.

Once she inherits the Angelic God Test, what could improve her strength faster than the God Test?

“I can give His Highness the Crown Prince pills to improve his aptitude.”

Qian Renxue then shook her head.

Her aptitude has already reached its peak. Even if she were to improve further, how much could it improve?
Lin Xiao frowned slightly.

Since Qian Renxue said she had a way, it means that the other party was willing to help him get the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. It's just that I don't know what she really wants.
"Please speak plainly, Your Highness."

"Lin Xiao will do his best to repay His Highness the Crown Prince."

Qian Renxue laughed heartily.

"Lin Xiao, are we getting too distant?"

"Don't worry, I will help you get the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. As for the conditions, we can talk about them after I get it."

Qian Renxue refused to reveal her conditions.

This, on the contrary, gave Lin Xiao a headache.

If she makes a request, then it will just be a transaction, with everyone paying upon delivery and the deal falling apart quickly.

On the contrary, debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay.

However, at least the Vast Ocean Universe Cover should be within reach.

Lin Xiao cupped his hands in greeting to Qian Renxue.

"Then we will await His Highness's good news."

……

After Lin Xiao left.

Qian Renxue stared at his retreating figure, her expression somewhat enigmatic.

"I really look forward to the day when we can be completely honest with each other."

"If he saw that I was Qian Renxue, he would be surprised, wouldn't he?"

"When he truly reaches the summit, achieves the ultimate and even becomes a god, he will find himself all alone. His confidantes will gradually grow old, and the only ones who can accompany him forever will be those at the same level as him."

Therefore, Qian Renxue was not in a hurry, and even had a faint sense of superiority.

She considered herself superior to the women around Lin Xiao.

After all, the angelic test has already appeared.

With Lin Xiao's talent, becoming a god wouldn't be difficult.

When all of Lin Xiao's old friends have passed away, he will be surprised and moved to discover that Qian Renxue is the only one who can walk with him to the end.

Lin Xiao had already gone far away, and Qian Renxue withdrew her gaze.

Before leaving, she will take the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.
