Peerless Douluo: Blood of the Black King Nidhogg!

Chapter 138 Have you not heard that time flies like a galloping horse, and the sun and moon flow like falling flowers and running water? (4K)

Golden tortoiseshell is stupid.

No mercy? Slaughter without exception?

No, what's the difference between these two options?

Could it be that the first one was a five-kill dismemberment, and the second one was a beheading?

So it's still the same thing! Aren't they both about dying?

Looking into those golden eyes that were even more oppressive than those of Di Tian, ​​and feeling the strong and powerful hand above its head, the golden tortoiseshell was afraid that Mo Yuan might accidentally tear off its roof.

Under the threat of death, the golden hawksbill turtle did not hesitate for a moment and acted almost instinctively. It fell to the ground with a thud, and with tears and snot streaming down its face, it hugged Mo Yuan's leg and begged for mercy.

"I was wrong, Your Majesty! I was truly wrong! I should never have been so blinded by greed as to steal that piece of metal from beneath the Lake of Life! I confess my guilt!"

"Waaaah! Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

Looking at the golden tortoiseshell crying with tears streaming down its face, Mo Yuan suddenly had a strange feeling. Times have changed. If this were on Earth, if he got this close to the tortoiseshell, the infrared rays on its body could probably knit a sweater.

Mo Yuan tapped the golden tortoiseshell on the head, then slowly spoke.
"Logically speaking, you should be sentenced to death for committing such a serious crime, but considering that this is your first offense, and that I am kind-hearted and unwilling to commit more killings, it is not impossible to spare your life."

In Mo Yuan's view, whether or not to kill the hawksbill turtle was irrelevant, since what he truly valued was the piece of living gold inside it; its other worth was the same whether it lived or died.

However, considering that he currently has no shortage of spirit rings and spirit bones, and his alchemical weapons are sufficient, a living golden tortoise shell is more valuable than a dead one.

"Really?! Your Majesty?! You really intend to spare my life?" Golden Tortoiseshell asked in surprise.

“A ruler’s word is law, but since you are guilty, you must be punished,” Mo Yuan said coldly. “First, I will remove the metal from your body.”

“No problem! Your Majesty is right! How can such a precious treasure be kept on my person? It should belong to Your Majesty!” the golden tortoiseshell said in a fawning tone.

It thought Mo Yuan was going to punish it, but this is what it got? This is clearly a reward, not a punishment. It even estimated that if that piece of metal wasn't removed, it would probably die in a few years.

"I haven't finished speaking yet." Mo Yuan glanced at the golden hawksbill turtle, immediately seeing through its thoughts.

"Secondly, from now on, your entire hawksbill turtle clan will be directly under my control, generation after generation, no matter how long it takes. The life and death of every hawksbill turtle is entirely at my command."

"This..." The golden tortoiseshell was dumbfounded. Wasn't this punishment equivalent to a slave contract? And it wasn't just this; it also included the entire tortoiseshell clan.

Seeing the golden tortoise hesitate, Mo Yuan squeezed its head hard, causing it pain. "If you are unwilling, you can atone with your death."

"No, no, no! Your Majesty, I am willing! I am more than willing! Not to mention generations, even if I die, I will still be your most loyal subordinate!" Feeling the threat of death, the golden tortoise immediately knelt down.

If you think about it carefully, what difference would it make even if it didn't agree to Mo Yuan's conditions? As long as it's still a soul beast, it has to submit to Mo Yuan, the black emperor.

They've simply gone from being subjects to slaves, and it just so happens that most turtles have some of that talent.

For example, a type of spirit beast called the Aluminum Hat Turtle is a natural slave known throughout the continent.

Mo Yuan nodded in satisfaction. That's more like it. As a dragon clan member who also wants to build his own empire, how could he not have a turtle prime minister?
"Very well, let's sign a treaty then."

Mo Yuan took out a piece of parchment covered with writing and placed it in front of the golden tortoiseshell.

"what?"

Golden Tortoiseshell was taken aback, then carefully read the contents of the treaty. How to put it, compared to this treaty, the triangular trade on Earth seemed so fair and benevolent.

Mo Yuan kindly reminded you, "Let me remind you, if you dare to violate the treaty, I will tie you to a bronze pillar and throw you into the icy sea, where endless ghost-toothed dragon vipers will devour you into bloody pulp."

Upon hearing this, the golden tortoiseshell shuddered uncontrollably. Without saying anything more, it immediately raised its hand and pressed its own blood onto the treaty.

From this moment on, an invisible connection linked all the hawksbill turtles together, with Mo Yuan at the center.

Looking at the parchment in his hand, Mo Yuan put it into his soul tool with satisfaction. What the Golden Tortoise didn't know was that this parchment was actually made by him using alchemy and knowledge of the Space Creation system.

When the golden tortoiseshell pressed its blood onto the parchment, it was as if it had left its coordinates in an endless space, which Mo Yuan could retrieve at any time using alchemy.

After all, the defensive power of this golden hawksbill turtle is probably only something that Di Tian, ​​Xiong Jun, and he and Gu Yuena can break through in the Douluo Continent.

It just so happens that he hasn't evolved into a dragon body yet, so his defense is still a weakness. And he will most likely be playing high-level games in the future, hence this move.

If you encounter an attack that you can't avoid, have the golden tortoise shell roll over to help.

“Alright, now let me help you remove that piece of metal,” Mo Yuan said.

Upon hearing this, the golden tortoiseshell was immediately moved to tears, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Mo Yuan placed his palm on the golden tortoise shell, and then an alchemical matrix was rapidly constructed in the void.

The dragon pattern shimmered with light, and the alchemical matrix began to rotate counterclockwise. The life force within the golden tortoise shell, which did not belong to it but was exceptionally pure and immense, uncontrollably surged out of its body and was then absorbed into the alchemical matrix.

"Ah~ That feels so good..."

As the life force of the living gold was extracted, the golden tortoiseshell not only did not have any adverse reactions, but instead let out a comfortable groan.

At the same time, its body began to slowly expand like a balloon, growing from two meters to five or six meters in size, which is its true size.

The alchemical matrix quickly stopped rotating, and after it dissipated into countless golden lights, a smooth, rhomboid-shaped piece of green metal landed in Mo Yuan's palm.

The piece of living gold wasn't very large, only about half the size of the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife. Seeing the thing that had tormented it for so long being taken out, the golden tortoise subconsciously shivered and took a few steps back.

"Um... Your Majesty, now that the treaty has been signed, may I leave?" Golden Tortoiseshell asked cautiously with an awkward smile.

"Fine, get out of here."

Upon hearing this, the golden hawksbill turtle felt as if it had been granted a pardon and quickly sank back into the lake.

After storing the Life Gold in his palm into his soul tool, Mo Yuan, the auspicious beast, and Gu Yuena returned to the Lake of Life. As the sun set, the three of them returned to the Lake of Life once more, but unlike before, a familiar figure was now present there.

It's Mo Yuan, or more accurately, Electrolux.

"Elder Yi, you're finally back. Is everything alright at the academy?" Upon seeing Electrox's return, Mo Yuan quickly stepped forward to inquire about Shrek Academy's affairs during this time.

A gray light flashed, and Electrolux returned to his original appearance. He first glanced at Gu Yuena, who was following behind Mo Yuan, and a look of solemnity flashed across his eyes.

As a necromancer and holy god, Ilex saw through most of Gu Yuena's secrets at a glance, confirming that she was a true god-level powerhouse.

Thinking of this, Electrox couldn't help but smile with amusement as he looked at Mo Yuan. Good heavens, it's only been a few days and Mo Yuan has already hooked up with another woman, and a god at that! These young people nowadays…

"Don't worry, no one has noticed anything unusual. They all attributed Ye Xuan's appearance to your senior sister Zhang Lexuan. As for the person Di Tian was looking for, since you and the auspicious beast appeared in the eyes of the people of the Heavenly Soul Empire a few days ago, it was also pushed to Ye Xuan's identity."

"That's good."

Mo Yuan nodded. He had expected Shrek Academy to make such a guess. Then he turned to look at Gu Yuena, who was watching Electrolux warily behind him, and spoke.

"Oh right, let me introduce you. This is my teacher, Elder Ilex. Like Nidhogg and me, he is a visitor from another plane. He is also a god-level powerhouse. However, due to an accident, Elder Ilex's strength has not yet fully recovered. But he has helped me a lot along the way and has been kind to me."

Mo Yuan then introduced Gu Yuena to Ilex, "Elder Ilex, her name is Gu Yuena. Her true identity is the original master of the Soul Beast Clan. Her true form is the God-level powerhouse Silver Dragon King, and now she is my White King."

After hearing Mo Yuan's introduction, Electrolux didn't react much, but Gu Yuena was clearly surprised.

She could also tell that the gray-robed old man in front of her was no ordinary person. She hadn't expected that he was a powerful figure from another plane, just like Mo Yuan and Nidhogg.

What's going on? Why are people from other dimensions constantly coming to Douluo Continent? Is this some famous tourist attraction?

"senior."

Considering the relationship between Electrolux and Mo Yuan, Gu Yuena did not put on airs and addressed Electrolux as a senior.

"Hello." Electrox smiled and stroked his beard, then he seemed to remember something, and instantly showed a pained expression, sighing repeatedly in regret.

"Sigh! I shouldn't have covered for you like before. I should have let that little girl, Hyotei, go instead. Now look what's happened! We've missed a great opportunity to observe advanced alchemy. What a pity!"

Mo Yuan was not surprised by Electrolux's reaction. He laughed and then took out a book that could easily be used as a brick and handed it to Electrolux.

"I knew you would do this, Elder Yi. Don't worry, although I don't understand the alchemical knowledge, I have memorized most of it. It's in here."

"Good, good, good! I knew you wouldn't forget me, Xiao Yuan." Electrox's expression changed from sorrow to joy, and he took the book and began to carefully read it.

Knowing that Electrolux probably had a lot to say to Mo Yuan later, Gu Yuena didn't bother listening. After saying goodbye, she took the auspicious beast and returned to the bottom of the Lake of Life.

Half an hour later, Electrolux reluctantly put down the book and carefully put it away.

"I got so engrossed in watching it that I've kept you waiting, Xiao Yuan," Electrolux said, looking at Mo Yuan sitting by the Lake of Life.

"It's alright, Old Yi."

Seeing this, Electrolux knew it was time to get down to business. He sat down next to Mo Yuan and then recounted everything that had happened on Douluo Continent since a few days ago, leaving no detail overlooked.

Half an hour later, after Electrox finished explaining everything and confirmed that Mo Yuan was alright, he couldn't wait to return to the Sea of ​​Spirit and once again carefully studied alchemy.

"There will be successors..." Mo Yuan uttered these five words softly. Recalling what Elder Yi had said about Elder Mu's decision, a look of admiration appeared on his face, and he said with emotion,
"As expected of the owner of the Holy Dragon Martial Soul, I estimate that only Elder Mu in the entire continent has the determination and ability to correct the mistakes."

According to Elder Yi, there haven't been any major disturbances on the continent in the past few days. Apart from the major top-level forces investigating the unusual events in the Star Dou Great Forest, no one else has paid much attention to them.

The only important thing was Mu's reform of Shrek Academy, for which Mo Yuan had nothing but admiration.

Gazing at the bright full moon and countless stars in the sky, Mo Yuan stood up from the ground and then jumped straight into the Lake of Life with a splash.

Now that everything is fine with the academy and he has found a reason to leave, all he needs to do is live peacefully in the Star Dou Great Forest for a while and improve his strength.

……

Have you not heard that time flies like a galloping horse, and the sun and moon are like falling flowers and flowing water? After spring goes and autumn comes twice, two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The core area of ​​the Star Forest, the Lake of Life.

"Mo Yuan, are you really leaving tomorrow?" the auspicious beast asked, nestled in Mo Yuan's arms, looking reluctant to part.

"Of course, as you know, I also have an identity in the human world. I haven't shown myself in the outside world for two years now, and if I stay any longer, there will be problems."

Mo Yuan gently stroked the three-eyed golden lion's head and said that over the past two years, through intimate contact, not only had the auspicious beast developed feelings for him, but he had also developed deep feelings for the auspicious beast.

But all good things must come to an end. In the end, his primary identity is still that of a human, and he has countless people and forces connected to him.

Disappearing for two years is already the maximum limit. If he doesn't show up after that time, Shrek Academy will probably have to turn the whole continent upside down to find him.

"Well... alright," the three-eyed golden lion said, looking disappointed.

After this brief conversation, neither Mo Yuan nor the Three-Eyed Golden Lion spoke again, but simply gazed quietly at the calm lake not far away.

It was as if they were admiring a view they had seen countless times, or as if they were cherishing this last moment together.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had no idea what Mo Yuan was thinking, but her thoughts were in complete disarray. Feeling the warm, solid bodies all around her, countless images flashed before her eyes.

From the initial misunderstanding when she first met Mo Yuan, to the fear when Nidhogg intertwined her fate with Mo Yuan's, and the warm and harmonious time they spent together afterward.

Every frame was so clear, and she finally realized what the person holding her in his arms was like.

Perhaps she was no longer afraid of Mo Yuan, but this was the first time she was grateful that Nidhogg had linked her fate with Mo Yuan's.

Thinking of this, a different light suddenly appeared in the eyes of the three-eyed golden lion. Since their fates were already intertwined, what harm was there in making it even stronger?
Most importantly, she wanted to see what kind of past the person holding her had, and what kind of life they led in the human world...
