Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 225 I know why Your Highness has come here, and I can help with this matter, but on one condition (Bonus Chapter)

Vina and Muxue are very lucky.

When they informed the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Xu Tianxi was at the Soul Tool Experiment Plaza, holding a farewell ceremony.

In the plaza, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Ji Juechen, and other distinguished figures gathered, standing in two rows. Xu Tianxi stood with his hands behind his back, while Yu Mengdi leaped down from the back of the Holy Light Griffin King, knelt on one knee, and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xu Tianxi, saying:
"Mondi has been wandering outside for many years, only regretting that her talents cannot be displayed, the glory of the angel lineage is gone, and she has no place to use her skills."

"Fortunately, Lord Yue recognized my talent and led me to enter the Sun and Moon Sect, slay evil spirits, unite souls, and pay homage to a high-ranking family. I have no way to repay this kindness and affection. Today, I bid farewell to Lord Yue and will never forget his teachings. I will hone my abilities in the army and repay him in the future."

"When we meet Marquis Yue again in the future, I will make sure he has a fresh impression of me."

Yu Mengdi knew that she was introduced to the Sun Moon Empire by Xu Tianxi, and that she had been branded with Xu Tianxi's mark from the very beginning.

The high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire all know that she is someone promoted by Xu Tianxi. In the history books thousands of years from now, Yu Mengdi will still be Xu Tianxi's person. Others value her because of her high talent, and she knows very well who brought all of this to her.

If Xu Tianxi hadn't extended the invitation on the field, Yu Mengdi's life might have been just like any other genius, struggling to cultivate and pursue the title realm.

Xu Tianxi changed everything for her, transforming her completely and enabling her to become a Soul Emperor in such a short time. With powerful partners like the 60,000-year-old Holy Light Griffin King, she was able to defeat Soul Saints, dominate all others, and her path to becoming a Super Douluo was now clear.

As she departs today, she must at least show some loyalty, for the Angelic Martial Soul always requires a flawless state of mind to unleash its full power.

Xu Tianxi nodded slightly, touched his storage ring, took out two boxes, one red and one white, and instructed:
“Back in the Star Luo City, I killed Shrek’s Ma Xiaotao and took her three ten-thousand-year soul bones, which are now placed in this red box. Ma Xiaotao was an Evil Fire Phoenix, and you are going to the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps. It is appropriate to hand them over today.”

"Whether you absorb it yourself, offer it as a tribute to His Majesty the Phoenix, or give it to someone else, you may use it wisely."

I have high expectations for you. I hope you can become a genius who surpasses Ma Xiaotao, and never become a madwoman like her. Do you understand?

Upon hearing this, Yu Mengdi's eyes welled up with tears. Her wrist trembled as she accepted the red box, nodding emphatically, "Rest assured, Lord Yue! Mengdi will never let you down!"

Xu Tianxi nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the white box, a faint smile appearing on his face, and said:

"This other box doesn't contain anything particularly good. It's a level seven melee soul guide sword that I made in my spare time recently. It incorporates Holy Radiance Crystal and Radiant Flame Stone Essence, which are suitable for your soul power attributes. It should be able to accompany you in battle for some time."

Yu Mengdi suddenly looked up and exclaimed, "Lord Yue..."

"I have engraved your name on the blade, Angel, Yu Mengdi. Our time together has been short, and I cannot make anything better for now. All I can give you is this last sentence: Follow your heart and let the glory of the angelic lineage reappear in the world."

After Xu Tianxi finished speaking, he pushed the white box into Yu Mengdi's hands, then turned around and waved his hand, saying:

"I've said what I needed to say, let's get going."

Yu Mengdi glanced at Xu Tianxi's back, then looked down to feel the weight of the two boxes. She felt that the two boxes were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and even with her cultivation level, she could feel their weight.

"I will never forget the teachings of Lord Yue. From this day forward, this body belongs to Lord Yue. I will go through fire and water for you, at your word! If I break this oath, may my martial spirit be shattered and I be subjected to a hundred calamities!"

As she spoke, Yu Mengdi bowed to Xu Tianxi three times, took the box, stood up, turned and leaped onto the back of the Holy Light Griffin King, and addressed the nine Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Corps soldiers beside her:
"go!"

"Leader!"

With the release of the Angelic Martial Soul, Yu Mengdi unfurled a pair of enormous wings on her back, identical to those of the Holy Light Griffin King, and flew away from the experimental field with nine Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Corps soldiers.

When Vina and Muxue entered the academy with Xu Tianxi's permission, they happened to see a huge angelic figure streak across the sky. In that fleeting glimpse, Yu Mengdi's beautiful face was as firm as iron.

Mu Xue, who was well-versed in information about the country's geniuses, stared blankly. She wiped her clear, cold eyes and said in disbelief:

"Vina, isn't that woman Yu Mengdi from Zhengtian Academy? What's she doing here? And how did she get to the sixth ring?"

Angelic spirits are highly recognizable. Ye Guyi is not yet known to many people, and among the younger generation, there is only one famous Angelic Spirit King, Yu Mengdi.

He was easily defeated by Xu Tianxi in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Competition, and Xu Tianxi even tried to recruit him.

Upon hearing this, Vina pondered for a moment, a bitter smile appearing on her fair face:
"It's likely that she has already been successfully recruited by the Marquis of Yue and chosen to join his ranks. Her cultivation level may also be the work of the Marquis of Yue."

"The Marquis of Yue once said during the competition that if Yu Mengdi was willing to enter the Sun Moon Empire to cultivate, he would take care of all the resources she needed to cultivate until she reached the Super Douluo level. Now it seems that the Marquis of Yue has indeed kept his word."

Mu Xue whispered, "Vina, you are the princess of our Heavenly Soul Empire. You can't lose face. Why don't we visit those powerful academies more often after we go back this time and recruit a few of their top geniuses?"

"Given your status, making a promise shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Upon hearing this, Vina's bitter smile deepened: "Those top geniuses are all arrogant and proud. Even though I am a princess, I can only earn their respect at most. To gain their approval, I must defeat them with my strength."

"The Marquis of Yue has that kind of absolute strength. I can't do it. I don't even have my third spirit ring yet. Maybe I can do it in five years."

"Moreover, Marquis Yue is truly generous, promising resources to help me become a Super Douluo right off the bat. I can't be as generous as him."

Vina was aware of her limitations. Since she was already engaged to Long Aotian, the Heavenly Soul Royal Family treated her as a semi-outsider and could not make promises to provide massive resources on behalf of the royal family, unless that person was a genius with a true martial soul.

She herself is an important resource for marriage alliances promised by the royal family, so how could she have the authority to mobilize a lot of cultivation resources?

Knowing about Vina's situation, Mu Xue sighed, "It's a pity you're not a man..."

“There’s nothing we can do about it. It was decided long ago. We are destined to pay the price for the luxurious life we’ve enjoyed since childhood. This is our only and best option…” Vina quickly suppressed her bitter smile and returned to her usual nonchalant demeanor, a faint smile appearing on her gentle face.

She wasn't one of those fools blinded by love. If the Heavenly Soul Empire were to fall, she, as a princess, would certainly not have a good end.

As the two women talked, they were soon led by security guards to the outside of the experimental square.

Xu Tianxi had already come out to wait with Xiao Hongchen and Xu Sanshi. The cold-faced Ji Juechen stood aside sharpening his sword, and it was unclear whether the chilly wind was blowing or the sound of the sword.

Upon seeing the two women arrive, Xu Tianxi took the initiative to lead his men forward to greet them with a smile:

"It's been a while since we last met. You two are even more radiant than before. May I ask what brings you here today?"

Upon hearing that the two women had come to visit, he had some speculations in his mind, but he wasn't quite sure.

Vina said politely, "We are guests, and we didn't expect that Marquis Yue would take the initiative to greet us. It's really impolite of us..."

"The main reason I'm here today is that Sister Muxue has been pondering the soul guidance knowledge taught by Yuehou these past few days, and would like to ask Yuehou to teach her a little more."

Xu Tianxi looked at Mu Xue and saw that the aloof woman nodded repeatedly, the longing in her eyes seemed genuine.

"Strange, could they really be here to attend a lecture?"

Xu Tianxi thought to himself that this was strange, but he didn't refuse directly. He led the two girls into a simple classroom, took out some basic soul guidance textbooks and common metals, and started the class using materials available on the spot.

"In the Sun Moon Empire, the Soul Tool system may be different from what you understand. Our primary goal for Soul Tools is civilian use, to bring them into every household and improve the happiness index of the general public, rather than for use in war..."

Xu Tianxi recounted the ideas he inherited from Xuan Ziwen and Kong Deming, and the two women listened intently, their eyes shimmering with emotion.

Mu Xue thought to herself, "Could it be that the Soul Master lineage of the Moon Marquis is different from what I've heard back home?"

Vina carefully observed Xu Tianxi's expression. She noticed that his eyes were bright and clear when he spoke of these ideas, his posture was as upright as Xiao Xuan's, and his speech was gentle and refined. She couldn't help but nod in approval.

"As expected of a top genius who can save lives in Star Luo City, his understanding of soul tools is different from those of those fierce and evil guys. If the Sun Moon Empire had more people like him, why would we need to worry about war breaking out?"

Born into the royal family, Vina knew that anyone could talk big, but actions mattered.

Xu Tianxi is clearly not one of those hypocrites; he is a person who truly puts his knowledge into practice.

During the class, Xu Tianxi lectured, Mu Xue frequently asked questions, and Vina occasionally asked questions. Half an hour passed quickly.

Looking at the sky, Xu Tianxi smiled and said, "Let's end today's class first. I'll do some practice at the end. Watch closely."

The next moment, Xu Tianxi took out an ordinary carving knife to process the rare metal. The "shh" sound rang out in the classroom. He quickly made a simple water heater and introduced its function to the two girls.

"This item can be used to boil water when activated by soul power, which is beneficial for keeping warm."

Upon seeing this, Vina exclaimed in surprise, "Such a soul tool can directly replace the function of burning coal and boil water?"

"Yes." Xu Tianxi nodded, then fixed his gaze on Vina and said slowly:
“I know why Your Highness has come here. I can help you with this, but on one condition.”

Vina's breathing suddenly quickened: "What are the conditions?"

So, nothing escapes his eyes? When did Mu Xue and I reveal our purpose?

Xu Tianxi pushed the hot water soul tool forward a bit and said to Vina, "Take this back to the Heavenly Soul Empire and try to promote it in your country."

Vina looked surprised. "Why?"

She had expected the other party's conditions to be difficult, but these conditions were so simple they didn't seem like conditions at all. Could there be some hidden meaning behind them?
Xu Tianxi said quietly, "I have been to your Heavenly Soul Empire. Every year, too many people die in your country because of the cold winter and various cold-related illnesses. Boiling water can disinfect, warm people, and save lives."

A hint of pain crossed his face as he sighed, “I have seen many people freeze into ice blocks overnight, laughing as they die in a warm illusion. I still do not want to recall that scene a second time. So, I want you to promise me.”

“I know how powerful the nobility is in your country, but this thing doesn’t have much influence. Your Highness, with Prince Xueyu who holds real power, you should be able to manage it, right?”

Having said that, his expression turned solemn, an unprecedented resolve surging across his face, his eyes gleaming as he stared directly at Vina.

"Promise me in the name of the Heavenly Soul Royal Family, and I will take you to find those people from Shrek Academy. Otherwise, this matter is off the table."

"Furthermore, if I find out that you have not kept your promise, I will personally kill you."

Upon hearing this, Vina's body stiffened, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes.

Mu Xue was shocked and stunned. After regaining her senses, she immediately nudged Vina, "Vina, say yes quickly."

Vina snapped out of her daze, pursed her lips, wiped away the tears from her eyes, and bowed deeply to Xu Tianxi with a smile:
“Vina, on behalf of the Heavenly Soul Royal Family, agrees to your request and expresses her gratitude for saving the people! What you wish to see, you will surely see!”

"Yes, that's good. Come with me to find those people."
