Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 181 Ye Xinglan: Maybe I came at the wrong time. Nan Liujing: No, you came at the right time!
Hidden Spring.

It is a private manor for nobles outside Xingluo City, equipped with various entertainment facilities, including a large body of water that has been specially developed into different fishing grounds.

Fishing is not usually a pastime for nobles, but Lingbing Douluo made a living by fishing when he was young, so it has a special meaning for the people of the Star Luo Empire.

Next to the bamboo and wood-built lounge, Nan Liujing was wearing shorts, revealing his flawless upper body muscles. He was lying on a sofa chair, with a glass of chilled juice on the coffee table next to him.

A few clouds hung in the azure sky, drifting slowly by, while a gentle breeze brought a sense of tranquility and joy.

"I caught another one."

"Sildew, did you secretly use special bait?"

"No."

A soft laugh came from not far away. Nan Liujing sipped his refreshing fruit wine, his gaze fixed on the five girls in swimsuits.

Na'er, Xinglan, and Guyue were all wearing A-line swimsuits. The upper body of the dresses accentuated their slender waists and full breasts, while the skirts that reached their thighs revealed their long, shapely, and fair legs. Underneath the skirts were boxer shorts, so they weren't worried about accidentally exposing themselves while fishing.

Yuan Enhui also wanted to wear an A-line dress-style swimsuit. Since following Nan Liujing, she had basically stopped dressing as a man. However, there was no one in Quanyin who could match her impressive figure, so she simply wore a sports bra with a beige collared shirt on top and shorts on her lower body, highlighting a casual style.

Wu Siduo was dressed similarly to Yuan En. She originally wanted to wear a backless bikini, but then she remembered that she came here to fish to compete for the ranking of her sisters, so she gave up on the idea.

Crash.

Water splashed up continuously, and fish thrashed to the surface one by one.

They were so focused and excited that they were completely unaware that they themselves had become a scene far more beautiful than the scenery of Quanyin.

Nan Liujing watched quietly, smiled, and stood up, saying, "The juice is finished. Does anyone want more?"

"Brother, I want it." Na'er said hurriedly while dealing with a big fish.

"I'll bring it to you later." Seeing that no one else spoke, Nan Liujing waved his hand and left along the stone path.

"Your Excellency, Marquis."

As soon as he stepped out of his private space, more than a dozen beautiful and graceful maids came to greet him.

Everyone had beautiful eyes full of affection, looking like they were ready to be chosen.

But when she thought of those other people fishing alone at the spot, she suddenly lost confidence in her own beauty.

"You can all leave now. I'll let you know if I need you." Nan Liujing glanced at them.

"Yes, ma'am." The women felt immense regret and could only respectfully retreat.

Nan Liujing stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the quiet venue due to the private booking, and muttered to himself, "The finals of the other competition formats will also come to a complete end today. It's a pity that we still have no clue how to enter Dragon Valley. Are we just going to have to give up and watch the treasures inside fly to the Dragon Horse Star System?"

Looking at the azure sky, Nan Liujing felt somewhat helpless.

Dragon Valley has a restriction that prevents Soul Kings and above from entering. Although Gu Yue was able to enter with the help of Di Tian and the others, ignoring this restriction, time was limited, and they knew how to open the special spatial node. Even though his side had several Limit Douluos and experts with Limit Douluo combat power, they didn't know how to open the special spatial node and were destined to be unable to imitate it.

As for the spatial node on the Tang Sect's side, that spatial node is inherently stable. If it is forcibly opened, it is very easy to cause the stable spatial node to collapse prematurely, which would harm the other Tang Sect fighters who followed in, and even the powerful individuals would suffer a backlash, making it a losing proposition.

"This is really a headache."

Nan Liujing covered his forehead.

Now it seems that perhaps it's really time to find an opportunity to be honest with Gu Yue and win over the soul beast clan.

After all, the benefits that the Thunder Realm provides for helping soul beasts overcome their tribulations are enough to drive Di Tian and the others crazy.

Nan Liujing went to the lobby to ask a staff member for about ten cups of chilled juice, which he then placed in his storage ring before returning the way he came.

"Silk Flower?"

As Nan Liujing walked to a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, he saw Wu Siduo sneaking around.

"Found it." Wu Siduo's eyes lit up, and she trotted over, habitually taking her boyfriend's arm.

"What's wrong?" Nan Liujing asked curiously.

Wu Siduo didn't speak, but pursed her red lips with a seductive look in her eyes.

Nan Liujing instantly understood the meaning behind that expression. He glanced at the others who were fishing less than a few hundred meters away and lowered his voice, saying, "Isn't this a bad idea?"

Wu Siduo said solemnly, "It's not enough for a natal spear to just look fierce and intimidating. Since it's a weapon, it has to be used in battle. It's best to clean the magazine regularly and test its stability and the quality of the ammunition."

Nan Liujing met her gaze with piercing eyes.

It's not that I lack self-control; who could resist such temptation?
Especially with a stunningly beautiful and aloof girl who is outwardly warm but inwardly cold, only showing her tenderness in front of you, it's hard not to be moved.

Extending his finger, Nan Liujing lifted Wu Siduo's smooth, delicate chin, lowered his head, and kissed her lips, whispering, "If this continues, they'll see us sooner or later."

Wu Siduo wrapped her snow-white, lotus-root-like arms tightly around Nan Liujing's neck, giggling as she whispered, "At home, you secretly played little games with me, did you think they didn't know?"

"Huh?" Nan Liujing's eyes widened in astonishment as he stared at Wu Siduo's flushed, cold and beautiful face. "Everyone knows?"

Wu Siduo nodded shyly, her previous alluring demeanor completely gone.

"That can't be right?" Nan Liujing embraced Wu Siduo and asked doubtfully, "I'm always very careful when I teach you how to braid your hair."

Wu Siduo said seriously, "Do you know what the purpose of this fishing competition is?"

Nan Liujing bluntly stated, "Isn't it because you guys have taken a liking to fishing? And then you want to compare whose fishing skills are better?"

Wu Siduo's lips twitched: "When we were on the giant ship, we went home empty-handed every day. Only a fool would be obsessed with fishing. We fished for..."

"Perhaps I came at the wrong time."

A clear, cold female voice suddenly interrupted what Wu Siduo was about to say.

Nan Liujing's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

Just twenty meters away, Ye Xinglan stood by the flower bed, her long golden hair tied in a high ponytail. A gentle breeze blew, lifting a few strands of her golden hair, and her azure eyes held a complex expression.

“Xinglan.” Nan Liujing was taken aback, but did not release Wu Siduo.

Ye Xinglan pursed her lips and turned her head to the side: "Siduo, your fishing count has been surpassed by Yuanen, go back quickly."

Wu Siduo half-embraced Nan Liujing, not saying a word, just looking up at him with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

She tried to pull away from his embrace, but he only held her tighter.

Nan Liujing's eyes hardened, and he immediately grabbed at her from a distance. His soul power surged forth like a roar, and his lightning soul power transformed into thousands of fine lightning threads, instantly grabbing Ye Xinglan and pulling her into his arms.

Ye Xinglan never put her guard up against Nan Liujing, and caught off guard, she bumped right into his arms.

A powerful hand quickly climbed up her slender waist.

Wu Siduo looked at Ye Xinglan, who was embracing Nan Liujing on his left, and smiled, thinking to herself, "It's finally been revealed. I deliberately lured Xinglan here."

"You!?" Ye Xinglan reacted suddenly, startled, and tried to break free from his embrace, "Let go of me."

Nan Liujing held her tightly: "I won't let go."

"I am angry."

Ye Xinglan made a move to draw her sword, intimidating people as usual.

Nan Liujing reacted quickly, his right arm around Wu Siduo, while his left hand leaned down and decisively kissed Ye Xinglan's lips. The kiss was cool and refreshing, with a texture like jelly.

Ye Xinglan gripped the Star God Sword in her right hand, her pupils dilating in shock, as if she had been petrified.

As their lips parted, her pupils were misty with tears as she stared blankly at Nan Liujing.

"Siduo, did you deliberately lure Xinglan here?" Nan Liujing transmitted his voice.

Wu Siduo transmitted her voice: "This fishing competition is for the five of us to determine the order of our future sisters. Our collective feelings for you have always been separated by the shyness and embarrassment of sharing a husband. I am willing to be the one to break down this barrier. After all, we will all have to face this day eventually, so let's just cut the Gordian knot."

Nan Liujing patted Wu Siduo's pert buttocks in an annoyed tone: "I'll cause you trouble again when we get back to Douluo Continent."

"I'll be waiting." Wu Siduo smiled sweetly, and in a flash, she disappeared without a trace.

"Is her mouth sweeter, or mine?"

Nan Liujing was about to explain to Ye Xinglan when she suddenly asked with a sharp look in her eyes. Nan Liujing was stunned: "Xinglan, you?"

Ye Xinglan broke free from the embrace, turned around, and said in an emotionless voice, "I've known for a long time that you and Siduo have a close relationship."

Nan Liujing hurriedly said, "I can explain."

"Explanation?" Ye Xinglan scoffed. "So what's your relationship with Siduo?"

Nan Liujing replied without hesitation, "Girlfriend."

The anger in Ye Xinglan's eyes subtly diminished: "And what about me?"

“You too.” Nan Liujing said decisively.

Ye Xinglan said irritably, "You really are quite the benevolent one. What about Na'er, Gu Yue, and Yuan En?"

“They are my future girlfriends,” Nan Liujing said shamelessly.

"You!?" Ye Xinglan's eyes widened, and she raised her voice, "Aren't you trying to hide it at all?"

Nan Liujing stepped forward and pulled her into his arms again. Ye Xinglan tried to struggle, but it was no use, so she simply let him be.

Smelling the delicate fragrance emanating from the beauty in his arms, Nan Liujing said solemnly, "Since you've done it, then you should be responsible for it to the end."

"You did it?" Ye Xinglan bit her red lips lightly, asking incredulously, "You two...?"

...A black line appeared on Nan Liujing's forehead: "You big yellow girl, when I said 'do,' I meant to accept your mutual feelings at the same time, not to do that kind of thing."

"I knew you wouldn't dare." Ye Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't too late.

wrong.

I should pretend to be angry now, how can I feel at ease leaning against him? Ye Xinglan, oh Ye Xinglan, I'm punishing you to practice your sword five hundred times tonight.

Ye Xinglan blushed, pushed him away, and turned back the way she came: "If you dare to actually do that with them, I will never forgive you."

"Can I do it with you?" Nan Liujing asked sincerely.

Ye Xinglan stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

She wrinkled her delicate nose, turned back to Nan Liujing and made a throat-slitting gesture, saying coquettishly, "Don't even think about it!"

"But I really want to," Nan Liujing said in a low voice.

Back at the private fishing spot.

The atmosphere has returned to harmony.

Ye Xinglan and Wu Siduo chatted and laughed.

Nan Liujing took a look, handed Na'er a glass of juice, and glanced down at the condition of the five fish baskets.

Good heavens, Yuan En Ye Hui is actually ranked first, with about eighteen fish in her catch. Her expression seems the calmest, as if she doesn't care much about the fishing situation, but in reality, her mental energy has been completely focused the whole time.

After learning the true purpose of the fishing competition from Wu Siduo, Nan Liujing looked at her and gradually formed an idea in his mind.

Wu Siduo ranked second, Ye Xinglan ranked third, and Gu Yue and Na'er ranked fourth and fifth, respectively.

"Cousin Gu Yue, you're last in line!" Na'er excitedly downed a glass of juice, pulled up the fishing rod with her delicate hand, and a large fish was pulled out of the water. Its scales reflected the sunlight, making it exceptionally dazzling.

Gu Yue calmly replied, "Winning first doesn't mean you've won; the one who laughs last is the true champion."

"Senior, do you have any more juice?"

"Here you go." Nan Liujing immediately handed over a cup, then paused and handed another cup to Yuan Enyehui, who was completely focused.

Step back and look at the five people.

He rubbed his temples: "It's time to express my feelings."

……

Meanwhile, within the Star Luo Empire.

On the final day of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.

After years of lying low and growing ever stronger, the Green Skull organization has finally met its end.

Long ago, the demonic entity hidden within the Green Skull organization successfully learned all of the Green Skull organization's locations, which Nan Liujing then handed over to Dai Tianling. This decisive emperor, without the slightest hesitation, assembled an army to exterminate evil.

In this battle, a total of twelve Venerables, four Super Douluo, and eight Title Douluo were mobilized.

There were over three thousand Soul Masters at the Soul King level or above, who simultaneously attacked twelve outposts across the Star Luo Continent to prevent any from escaping.

Through the entrustment, Le Zhengyu was also assigned to one of the teams, protected by a Super Douluo, so that he could safely absorb the evil energy left behind by the evil soul masters after their deaths.

But before setting off.

Enci personally went to the Spirit Pagoda in Xingluo City and met with the pagoda's leader, Zhang Geyang, in front of many people. The content of their conversation was unknown to outsiders, but it didn't matter.

Because the tower master was forcibly impersonated by Mu Ye using the secret techniques of the Body Sect.

All of this was done to avoid arousing the suspicion of the ancient East Wind.

Although Nan Liujing could also sense that this wouldn't be hidden from him for long.

...

Monster Academy.

Inside the Blacksmiths' Association.

Tang Wulin was sitting on a futon, receiving instruction from Ning Fengzhi.

Tang Wulin's gaze quietly fell on the bracelet on Ning Fengzhi's wrist, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips.

I've finally managed to help Brother Nan.

"Drip-drip-"

Suddenly, a sharp bell rang, shattering the solemnity of the lesson.

Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, took out his soul guide phone and glanced at it, his pupils instantly shrinking.

[Ning Fengzhi, leave Monster Academy immediately. The Green Skull Organization is finished. Holy Dragon Douluo has already arrived at headquarters and obtained the organization's personnel roster. He will soon notice something amiss with you. You'd better leave immediately and go to Douluo Continent to lie low. I will send you the locations of three Holy Spirit Cult headquarters later; just go there. Don't worry about my identity. If you weren't an eighth-level blacksmith, I would never have helped you.]

"Elder Ning, what's wrong?" Tang Wulin asked, seeing Ning Fengzhi's furrowed brows as if he were troubled by something.

Putting his phone away, Ning Fengzhi's gloomy expression softened slightly: "It's nothing, it's just that a batch of Fusion-grade Soul Forging Metal that we handed over before was returned."

"You can return the fusion-grade soul-forged metal you crafted?" Tang Wulin was somewhat surprised. Although this guy in front of him had ulterior motives, he did admire his forging skills.

Ning Fengzhi said in a gentle tone, "Wulin, Grandpa has other matters to attend to. You can try forging on your own for now, and I'll wait for you to return."

"Yes." Tang Wulin watched Ning Fengzhi leave.

"Drip-drip-"

Suddenly, the bell rang again.

Tang Wulin picked up his phone.

It was a message from Yue Zhengyu.

Tang Wulin said, word by word, "Tonight, I'd like to invite everyone to a gathering at Lingbing Restaurant. Eat and drink as you please, Young Master Lezheng will pay the bill!"

The following are the students' speeches.

Without exception, they were all complimenting Yue Zhengyu in a humorous way.

"Wait, Lingbing Restaurant?" Tang Wulin was engrossed in the sights when he suddenly realized something. He decisively left the forging room, intending to practice the Crimson Dragon Nine Forms several times to deplete his qi and blood so he could have a good meal later.
