Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 157 The Star Luo Royal Family's Invitation: Leng Yaozhu's Refusal of the Divine Position
After the fighter jet flew about a hundred kilometers, the space inside the cabin began to ripple, and Yun Ming returned.

His face was calm and still, revealing no problem whatsoever.

Nan Liujing didn't care. His words were half true and half false. Although the Seven Demons were fooled into giving up their spiritual power, they were at least able to reincarnate successfully.

Speechless all the way.

Finally, through the window, one could see the enormous city beneath the thin clouds.

At Chuanling Academy, Nan Liujing and Na'er waved goodbye.

I took out my phone and called my favorite teacher: "Teacher, I'm back."

On the other end of the communication, Leng Yaozhu's delighted voice came through: "Okay. Are you free now? If so, come to the hundredth floor of the Heavenly Spirit Tower."

"Is there something you need?" Nan Liujing asked.

Leng Yaozhu said, "The Xingluo Empire delegation specifically requested to see you."

"A delegation from the Star Luo Empire?" Nan Liujing was somewhat surprised. "I understand, they'll be here soon."

After hanging up the phone, Nan Liujing rushed over without stopping.

During this time, he didn't forget to send messages to Wu Siduo and Ye Xinglan, and then to Yuan Enyehui and Gu Yue.

The first two are my girlfriends, so they have to be my priority.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Enhui's reply speed was the fastest, almost instantaneous, although it was just a single "hmm".

So, what can we deduce from the word '嗯'?

Before the other three women could reply, Nan Liujing got into the car and arrived at Tianling Tower.

"Little Lord."

As soon as he entered the hall, he immediately attracted the attention of many staff members of the Heavenly Spirit Tower, and everyone greeted him.

Nan Liujing responded with a smile, her attitude very gentle.

Some people who came to do business quickly recognized Nan Liujing's identity and refrained from asking for a photo.

Take the elevator all the way up to the 100th floor.

This was Nan Liujing's first time here. It was reserved for the tower owner, and only the most distinguished guests were usually invited to meet here.

I pressed the doorbell, and the door opened quickly.

The large living room was already filled with people.

Many eyes turned to look at the sound.

In the center of the reception room, the tower master Qian Gu Dongfeng and the deputy tower master Leng Yaozhu were both present.

Facing the two powerful figures was a very handsome young man, dressed in a long blue robe, with a friendly smile always on his lips.

Upon seeing Nan Liujing, Dai Yueyan's eyes lit up. She stood up and said familiarly, "I've been waiting for you."

Nan Liujing sized up the other person: "Who are you?"

Dai Yueyan smiled and said, "My name is Dai Yueyan, the fourth prince of the Star Luo Empire. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Nan Liujing said, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Master of the Tower, Teacher." Nan Liujing did not forget to bow to Qian Gu Dongfeng and Leng Yaozhu.

Qian Gu Dongfeng nodded indifferently; he was merely an accessory in this meeting.

Leng Yaozhu's eyes were gentle as she gestured for her disciple to sit beside her.

"Fourth Prince, now that the main person has arrived, ask him yourself," Qian Gu Dongfeng said calmly.

Dai Yueyan nodded, then turned to Nan Liujing in a friendly manner and said, "In another six months, the Imperial delegation will return to the Star Luo Continent. At the same time, the Federation intends to send a delegation to accompany them for a year-long exchange visit. I have been entrusted by my father to invite you to the Star Luo Continent. I wonder if you would be willing?"

So that's what they came for... Nan Liujing thought to himself. He was a little puzzled. In the original timeline, Dai Yueyan definitely did not come to Douluo Continent with the delegation. Why is that in this life?

“I am just a junior, how come Your Majesty recognizes me?” Nan Liujing said.

Dai Yueyan smiled and said, "A few years ago, during the Sun Moon Federation Grand Competition, we invited the Imperial garrison officials to watch the games. Your performance on the field, with the permission of your country's officials, was recorded and sent back to the Empire, causing quite a stir in the Empire's Soul Master community. Coincidentally, the Empire is about to launch the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, which can be described as a gathering of geniuses. So we thought we would take this opportunity to invite you to come and exchange skills, and also let some young people in the Empire who are unaware of the vastness of the world know that there are always people better than you."

Leng Yaozhu interjected, "Whether you go or not is your decision; the teacher supports you."

Dai Yueyan looked expectant.

In fact, from the moment he entered Douluo Continent, his homeland, he had been intentionally or unintentionally praising Nan Liujing. The Star Luo Continent delegation's status was quite special, attracting considerable attention from the Federation's civilians, who also had a stronger impression of Nan Liujing, who had shown his talent in the Federation Grand Competition a few years ago.

Nan Liujing's popularity has surged again within the Federation, thanks in no small part to Dai Yueyan's encouragement and the Federation's tacit approval.

The same expectation is for the eternal east wind.

He appeared nonchalant, but in reality, strange thoughts were already brewing within him.

Finally, Nan Liujing spoke up: "I think that instead of inviting me alone, Your Highness should invite the Spirit Transmission Academy directly."

"Invite the Spirit Transmission Academy?" Dai Yueyan was taken aback. He already knew that the Spirit Transmission Academy's location was the original Shrek Academy outer courtyard.

According to their original plan, they hoped to invite Shrek Academy to visit, but due to an incident that occurred on the Douluo Continent side, they gave up on the idea.

If it weren't for the fact that Shrek Academy's teaching staff was indeed very strong and provided a lot of help after he came to his own Monster Academy, his father would have almost wanted to change the name of the academy.

The word "cheating" is too socially fatal.

Nan Liujing calmly said, "Your Highness may not know this, but our Spirit Transmission Academy has many geniuses whose strength cannot be improved through regular teaching. If they could go to the Star Luo Continent for practical combat and sparring, it would be a great opportunity for them to gain experience."

Dai Yueyan hesitated for less than two seconds before making up his mind. He respectfully said to Leng Yaozhu, "Your Majesty, on behalf of the Empire, I formally invite the Spirit Transmission Academy to visit and exchange ideas. What do you think?"

"it is good."

Leng Yaozhu immediately agreed, and in fact, she also thought Nan Liujing was right.

Putting everything else aside, Yuan Enhui and the others really don't need to receive daily instruction anymore. Rather than keeping them confined in the academy, it's better to let them out to see the vast world.

Next, the two sides held friendly consultations and finalized detailed arrangements regarding the invitation.

"On behalf of the Empire, I would like to express my gratitude to the two Tower Masters once again." Before leaving, Dai Yueyan once again expressed his heartfelt thanks.

Qian Gu Dongfeng smiled faintly and said, "The Spirit Pagoda was able to take root in the Star Luo Continent thanks to the support of the royal family. We help each other, so there's no need for thanks. I wish Your Highness a safe journey home."

"Farewell." Dai Yueyan placed her left hand on her chest, performing a courtly gesture.

He left with his five titled Douluo-level guards.

Dai Yueyan's delegation returned to the Star Luo Continent six months earlier, and there were some things she needed to explain beforehand.

Qian Gu Dongfeng said in a deep voice, "The Star Luo Empire invited you there simply because they hope to defeat you, the number one young person under twenty in the Douluo Continent. The Federation absolutely does not want to see this happen, so please be very careful."

Nan Liujing and Leng Yaozhu were surprised, not expecting Qian Gu Dongfeng to say such a thing.

Qian Gu Dongfeng said calmly, "You are a member of the Spirit Pagoda. If you lose, it will not only be the Federation that loses face, but also the Spirit Pagoda. Public opinion will not be so easy to appease."

Without giving Nan Liujing a chance to speak, Qian Gu Dongfeng turned and left, truly appearing to be wholeheartedly concerned for your well-being and giving you advice.

As the ancient east wind departs, Nan Liujing's eyes seem to hold a mystery.

Leng Yaozhu put one hand on Nan Liujing's shoulder and said with a smile, "It's been half a year since we last met, so we should at least arrange a good meal for our teacher, right?"

"Then I'll call everyone." Nan Liujing admired his teacher's stunningly beautiful face.

"No cilantro allowed," Leng Yaozhu said solemnly. "Okay, okay," Nan Liujing reluctantly agreed.

Leng Yaozhu lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.

Nan Liujing's eyes brightened at the other person's smile. After a moment of silence, he said, "Teacher, there's something I'd like to tell you."

Leng Yaozhu's smile faded: "Let's go back to our residence."

The two quickly returned to the ninety-ninth floor.

Once on her own turf, Leng Yaozhu relaxed completely, crossing her shapely, long, and perfectly slender legs, completely unconcerned that her snow-white, smooth skin was exposed to her disciple.

"Tell me, what did you gain during those six months on Devil's Island?"

Nan Liujing flipped his palm, and golden light burst forth from it.

Leng Yaozhu looked on in confusion, her expression changing as her mental energy was unable to penetrate the ball of light.

"what is this?"

"A seed that can make someone a god." Nan Liujing's words were astonishing.

Leng Yaozhu's pupils contracted, her bright and pretty face froze, and she stared at Nan Liujing in disbelief, speechless for a long time.

Nan Liujing explained, "Does Teacher still remember that soul bone that possesses destructive energy?"

“I remember,” Leng Yaozhu said in a deep voice.

Nan Liujing said, "With the help of this soul bone, I touched the most dangerous Destruction Stone on Devil Island and obtained this seed of godhood from it."

Leng Yaozhu's expression turned solemn: "Does Yun Ming know?"

“I didn’t tell him.” Nan Liujing shook his head, his eyes flashing. “Besides this seed of godhood, there seem to be a few more stones of destruction in the Stone of Destruction. I’m thinking of trying them out when I have time.”

Leng Yaozhu stared at the seed of the divine position, momentarily speechless.

In the Douluo Continent today, it is generally acknowledged that the God Realm has disappeared. Suddenly, her beloved disciple brings back a seed that can make a person a god. How could she not be surprised?
Nan Liujing stated his position: "The divine position corresponding to this seed is called the God of All Beasts. Teacher, your martial soul is the Heavenly Phoenix, which belongs to the beast martial soul category. I think the combination would be quite good."

"For me?" Leng Yaozhu was stunned.

Nan Liujing smiled and said, "The God of Beasts is suitable for many people around me, but after thinking it over, I feel that it should be given to you."

"No, if we're going to get together, you should be the first to do so, or we can leave it as is for now."

Leng Yaozhu admitted that she was tempted, but she remained calm and said, "If the other divine seeds inside the Stone of Destruction can't be retrieved, you still have the God of Beasts as a backup."

Nan Liujing didn't want to hide it:

"Don't worry, teacher, I already have one."

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunder god mark appeared between his eyebrows.

"You?!" Leng Yaozhu's eyes widened.

Nan Liujing got up and walked over, taking Leng Yaozhu's soft, fair hand without any hesitation, and then placed the seed of godhood in her palm.

The seeds had a strange softness to the touch, and Leng Yaozhu's pupils reflected that golden light.

A barely perceptible flush and a look of excitement touched her stunningly beautiful face.

Nan Liujing's cultivation level was still insufficient, and he did not know that for someone like Leng Yaozhu, who had already reached the limit of mortal cultivation, the light emitted by the divine seed was like an extremely alluring thing, constantly tempting her heart.

It's even difficult to resist and eliminate the desire in one's heart using mental power; it's purely a physical instinctive reaction.

Nan Liujing is still waiting for the teacher to accept her.

Leng Yaozhu blinked, her heart burning with excitement and her face flushed, but she forcibly suppressed it: "Liu Jing, tell your teacher, can the seeds of godhood provide the inheritor with divine trials and subsequent rewards, just like in the legends?"

"Yes," Nan Liujing said, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, the longing that had appeared in Leng Yaozhu's eyes quickly subsided, and she gracefully returned the seed of godhood to Nan Liujing.

A slender, pale finger quickly pressed against Nan Liujing's lips.

Leng Yaozhu said softly, "I haven't absorbed the scorching glue you gave me last time. I've been recuperating for the past six months. With it, I'm almost certain I can break through to the Quasi-God level. For me, the rewards that the God Trial can provide are not worth mentioning, but those girls around you are different."

Nan Liujing looked at her quietly.

Leng Yaozhu's voice was melodious and gentle, making listeners' bones feel soft: "Siduo's martial soul is a white tiger and a ghostly cat, and Guyue's martial soul is a seven-colored dragon. They are both beast martial souls. They are also younger than their teacher and need the rewards that the divine test can provide even more. I believe that whichever of them accepts the inheritance will definitely do their best. So listen to your teacher and give it to them, okay?"

Nan Liujing sighed helplessly: "If I refuse, you'll definitely be upset."

"No way." Leng Yaozhu smiled with a seductive look in her eyes. Even she herself didn't realize that her voice carried a hint of coquettishness.

Nan Liujing put away the seed of godhood, and Leng Yaozhu Shunqiao got down to business: "The Star Luo Continent invited you there, and their purpose is similar to what Qian Gu Dongfeng said. Are you confident?"

Nan Liujing calmly said, "Don't worry, the Panlong Staff is best at teaching people."

A few whacks will calm even the most excited person down.

...

"cheers!"

Under bright lights, seven arms are raised, below which is a table full of delicious food.

Without cilantro, Nan Liujing immediately won everyone's unanimous praise!
Leng Yaozhu rested her chin on her hand, smiling as she watched the lively scene at the dining table.

Apart from Nan Liujing, the five girls each have their own style and characteristics. The only thing they have in common is that their appearances are all impeccable.

"Na'er, you went with A-Jing for half a year, how was it?" Ye Xinglan asked curiously.

Na'er smiled mysteriously: "Overall, it's alright." As she spoke, she subtly raised an eyebrow at Gu Yue.

Gu Yue smiled, but secretly she was already clenching her teeth.

She and Na'er were one, and their feelings could be shared when necessary. Therefore... that passionate kiss, although not received by her personally, felt incredibly real.

She dared to kiss today, but she didn't dare to think about what she would dare to do tomorrow.

"Aunt Leng, on our way here, Liu Jing said you had something to say?" Yuan En Ye Hui's charming face was filled with a contented smile. She enjoyed this family-like gathering more than anyone else present.

When the topic turned to business, the women's expressions became serious.

"Beep beep beep—" Suddenly, the urgent ringing of the bell drew everyone's attention.

The voice came from Nan Liujing's side. He picked up his phone, his pupils contracted slightly, and he smiled as usual, saying, "There's a call from Tiandou City. I'll be leaving for a while."

“Okay.” Leng Yaozhu had no doubts.

As soon as Nan Liujing left, he immediately told her about the invitation extended by the Star Luo Empire.

In an instant, all five girls except Gu Yue became excited.

Because the Federation has temporarily canceled the Federation Grand Competition, the younger generation of Soul Masters have had nowhere to spar and exchange skills for a long time.

If I could go to the Star Luo Continent to participate in the Elite Tournament, it would be a great opportunity for training. Moreover, the Star Luo Continent is thousands of miles away, and I'm curious whether its Soul Master system is the same as that of the Douluo Continent.

The conversation at the dining table was in full swing.

Upon arriving at his room, Nan Liujing immediately pressed the soundproof button, picked up his phone, and stared intently at it.

On the screen, the caller ID clearly showed—my sister-in-law!
