Douluo: The martial soul Nine-headed Xiangliu swallows the sky and devours the earth!

Chapter 164 The White Crane's Helplessness

The distance between Xuanling City and Tiandou City is not very far, and the horses they used to pull their carriages were also different, so they arrived in Tiandou City in a very short time.

Upon arriving in Tiandou City, because they were distinguished guests attending the investiture ceremony, and of very high status, they were greeted by members of the Tiandou royal family who also arranged their accommodations.

Under the arrangement of the Heaven Dou royal family, they all checked into the most luxurious hotel in Heaven Dou City. Of course, the so-called most luxurious hotel was also a property of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

After checking into the hotel, Dugu Bo and the others were able to remain calm and wait for the investiture ceremony to begin, but Dugu Yao, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling were different.

They weren't idle; they left the hotel and started exploring Tiandou City. Although they were already very familiar with the place and there wasn't much to do, it was still better than staying cooped up in the hotel.

They weren't old folks who could patiently wait for the investiture ceremony to begin in a boring environment, except for Dugu Yao, of course.

As a boy, he preferred to stay in the hotel and cultivate his soul power to break through level 70 as soon as possible rather than go shopping, but he couldn't resist Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's persistent pleading.

Helpless, he could only accompany the two women as they left the hotel.

The selection of the future crown prince is of paramount importance in the Heaven Dou Empire, both among the common people and in Heaven Dou City, where a festive atmosphere prevails.

The investiture ceremony is mainly divided into two parts: the coronation ceremony at noon and the banquet in the evening, which is also the final chapter and climax of the investiture ceremony.

All the guests who attend will present a valuable gift.

"Tian Dou City is indeed not as attractive as it used to be when I first arrived," Dugu Yan said with some emotion, looking at the familiar shops around her.

"Then why did you even come out? You might as well have spent that time cultivating in the hotel," Dugu Yao said helplessly. What else could you do while traveling?

It's just accompanying Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling shopping, right? He's very familiar with that, after all, he's been acting as their wallet for several years. But he still doesn't understand.

Why are Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling so obsessed with shopping? Are most women passionate about shopping?

"Oh my, my brother, you're a cultivation fanatic! At this age, your soul power is approaching level 70. Isn't that enough?" Dugu Yan said, somewhat speechless.

His older brother is great in every way, except that he's too obsessed with cultivation. He's practically born to cultivate, and his hobbies and interests are pitifully few.

If we're talking about interests, would left-handed crafts count?

She remembered that in the past, her brother used to make a lot of handicrafts, weaving all sorts of strange and wonderful toys to give to her.

As for hobbies, I'm afraid my only one is cultivation.

Dugu Yao helplessly shrugged.

To be honest, he was quite boring in some ways, but he didn't think so. A decade or so later, there would be a major change that was unprecedented in a century.

The forces involved will be two great empires and the entire Soul Master world, which is why he is so enthusiastic about cultivation. Although he has no ambition, he only hopes that the people around him will be safe and sound.

He also likes to find some amusement in his spare time, such as things related to the Heavenly Battle Royal Family.

But to maintain their current lifestyle, they first need immense power. After all, a decade or so from now, it will be the age of gods, and ordinary soul masters won't suffice. His thinking, if applied to the Three Kingdoms period, would make him a typical "Jerry of Jiangdong," since he lacked ambition.

Dugu Yao feigned a sigh and said, "We are clearly siblings, but I am already close to becoming a Soul Saint, while my sister, you are really not ambitious in this regard."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan instantly bristled. Thinking back to the first few years after awakening her martial soul, when her goal was to pursue her brother, she found it somewhat laughable.

Her brother is simply inhuman! How could anyone reach such an absurd level of soul power at this age? In this world, probably only her brother could do it.

"Brother!" Dugu Yan said indignantly, "You still have the nerve to talk? Don't you know your own situation? You're a monster, you're a real monster!"

“If I am a firefly, then you are the bright moon; if I am a floating creature, then you are the towering tree. If you want to use your soul power level to encourage me to cultivate…”

"I'd rather Lingling provoke me." Dugu Yan said with a calm smile, "After all, surpassing my brother is simply impossible. I don't even dare to think about it now."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yao turned his gaze to Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling understood immediately and patted her slightly protruding chest, saying, "Brother Yao, don't worry, I will definitely surpass Sister Yan. After all, Sister Yan isn't as serious as me!"

Faced with Ye Lingling's betrayal, Dugu Yan angrily pinched the other's cheek lightly.

"Lingling, we're on the same side! You should help me, not that brother of yours! You really want to surpass me? But that's impossible!"

Dugu Yao chuckled as he watched the two of them act like this.

"You two are the only ones who can inspire each other," Dugu Yao commented. Whether it's Dugu Yan or Ye Lingling, either of them is far ahead of their peers.

After playing around for a while, the two sisters, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, made up and dragged Dugu Yao shopping, with Dugu Yao paying for everything.

In the hotel, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and Bai He gathered together, sitting on the sofa, exchanging glances, unsure of what to say.

"Old Goat, shall we go see the Old Gorilla?" the White Crane asked.

“I knew you would bring this up. If I’m not mistaken, you’re trying to recruit the old gorilla to the Xuanling Pill Sect, right?” Yang Wudi said, looking at the other person.

Bai He didn't hide anything and nodded slightly, which was considered an admission.

"I'm not trying to be mean, but Old White Bird, do you still have any illusions about him? There's no way he'll join the Xuanling Pill Sect and work with us. Right now, who knows how he's badmouthing us."

Niu Gao smiled bitterly. His relationship with the old gorilla used to be good, but now it was truly complicated. They were practically estranged.

"Alas!" the white crane sighed softly.

"Don't think about this, Old White Bird. The Xuanling Pill Sect doesn't fully trust you yet. If you do this, it might offend the sect leader."

Yang Wudi said calmly, if he remembered correctly, their Great Elder was scolded by Titan when he tried to recruit him.
