Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 211 Best Friend Becomes Great-Granddaughter-in-Law, Xia Zheng Leng is Completely Unaware (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The steam rising from the pool carried the faint sounds of conversation.

At the edge of the hot spring pool sat a young man, tall and slender, but at this moment he sat respectfully like a student who had made a mistake.

Just ahead, a stunningly beautiful older woman was verbally reprimanding him, trying to persuade this lost student to return to the right path.

The young man listened attentively, occasionally nodding to indicate that he understood, and offering suggestions for improvement.

Ultimately, respecting teachers is essential, and he could only accept the verbal reprimand. Perhaps the older sister teacher's teaching methods were too strict, because in the end he burst into tears, perhaps his tears also carried bitter regret.

...

"Wow~"

A beautiful woman in snow-white stood up from the pool, her long, wet, fiery red hair falling into the water like maple leaves. Her delicate and beautiful face showed a hint of fatigue as she gently rested her head on the shoulder of her lover beside her.

Nan Liujing smiled and pulled Leng Yaozhu into his arms, kissing her delicate cheek. Feeling the smooth, creamy texture of her skin, his heart fluttered slightly, and the passion that had subsided within him began to rekindle.

Throughout the day, the two of them barely got any rest.

Although Leng Yaozhu's physique is not at the level of a quasi-god, it is comparable to a level 98 super Douluo Soul Master of the Power Attack type. As for Nan Liujing, needless to say, with the fusion of the Golden Dragon King's original bloodline, plus the Thunder Body Tempering and the infusion of life energy, his physique has almost reached the pinnacle of the Soul Master world.

That's why this unfair battle came to a perfect end.

The creative power born from the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction was successfully transferred, and perhaps in a few years, a brand new first-level god will be created.

Leng Yaozhu closed her eyes, a happy smile on her lips, the blush on her pretty face still lingering. It wasn't until she was kissed that she looked up with her wine-red eyes, glaring at the young man who had just become her man.

"Tell me honestly, where did you learn so many embarrassing moves?"

Nan Liujing coughed lightly, his hand lingering on the waistline between her slender waist and rounded hips: "Would you believe me if I said I was exceptionally gifted?"

Leng Yaozhu snorted softly, her pretty face full of coquettishness: "I don't believe you."

Suddenly, Leng Yaozhu's expression changed, and a look of doting yet helpless appeared in her eyes.

Nan Liujing is striving to become a top-notch dough-making master: "Yaozhu, have you thought about what to name the newly born godhood?"

Amidst the constant strange occurrences, Leng Yaozhu blushed and asked seriously, "What do you think I should name the divine position?"

Nan Liujing stopped, stroked his chin and thought for a moment: "Since the divine position is based on the martial spirit, let's just call it the God of the Heavenly Phoenix."

Leng Yaozhu asked curiously, "Why not call it the Phoenix God?"

Nan Liujing chuckled and said, "Ma Hongjun, one of the original Shrek Seven Devils, is the Phoenix God. Rather than sharing the same title, let's create something completely new. Besides, with the help of the power of creation, the Heavenly Phoenix God will definitely be at the level of a main god, while the Phoenix God in the God Realm is only a second-level god."

"I see," Leng Yaozhu said, suddenly understanding.

With a sharp "smack," a snow-white hand slapped away the wicked hand that was groping her. Leng Yaozhu stood up, her infinitely beautiful body more timeless than an oil painting. She smiled gently, "Alright, let's pack up and get ready to leave the forbidden zone. So much time has passed, I wonder what happened in the Douluo plane. I hope some people haven't done anything reckless, otherwise..."

A cold, fierce glint burst forth from her previously shy and gentle pupils.

Nan Liujing quickly finished tidying up.

The two glanced back at the steaming hot spring pool, then smiled at each other.

This place holds indelible traces and beautiful memories for the two of them.

Congratulations!

On the grass in front of the ancient tree of life, the goddess of life appeared, smiling as she looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman.

"Senior, we are leaving now."

Nan Liujing solemnly said.

The Goddess of Life nodded: "You can use the Ancient Tree Seal to take the Ancient Tree of Life away, but my suggestion is that you leave it here for now."

Nan Liujing asked in confusion, "Why is that?"

The Goddess of Life explained, "Xiao Zi told me that there is an Abyss army eyeing Douluo Star. Once the Ancient Tree of Life enters Douluo Star, without the protection of a God-King level cultivator, it will inevitably cause a shockwave in the life energy of the entire plane. In that case, it will be very easy to be exposed to the Abyss Lord's perception range. If we alert him and he chooses to abandon the invasion of Douluo Star, then losing such an Abyss supply would be a great loss."

"If you want to create a prototype of a divine realm, it will be delayed for many years, which is not worth it."

"Furthermore, this small plane has suffered a calamity, but there are still many living beings. You can open up a part of the forbidden area and let those humans live in it. With the majesty of a god, you can issue a divine decree, which may gain a large amount of faith power, which will be of great help to perfect the prototype of your divine realm."

Listen to advice and you'll eat your fill. Besides, the Goddess of Life, who is most familiar with the Ancient Tree of Life, spoke up herself, so Nan Liujing readily agreed.

The Goddess of Life nodded, then said solemnly, "From Xiao Zi, I learned that the life essence of Douluo Star was severely depleted. In fact, if I had known this situation back then, none of this would have happened. Unfortunately, I was deceived by Tang San and never paid attention to the development of Douluo Star for ten thousand years. If not, even if the humans of Douluo Star increased the rate of mining natural resources tenfold and completely wiped out the soul beasts, I could have made up for it. How could it have faced collapse?"

"I hope that once Douluo Star gets back on track, you can improve all of this."

"Senior, don't worry."

Nan Liujing responded with utmost solemnity.

He had no doubt about the words of the goddess of life.

The life core of Douluo Star is only comparable to the life attribute gods at the level of second-level gods.

What is the goddess of life?
That's a top-tier existence in the late stage of God King; solving the development problems of Douluo Star would be as easy as washing water.

"Perhaps you can make your move now," the Goddess of Life said softly.

Nan Liujing's eyes flickered, and he released the Ancient Tree Divine Seal, his consciousness instantly encompassing the entire small plane.

After seeing the current state of the small dimension, the person's expression changed.

Licheng, Youcheng, and two other smaller human cities are being bombarded by a constant stream of beast tides.

The magic array used to protect the city emitted a fierce light. Led by the elders, the mages stubbornly resisted the invasion of the beast tide, but cracks were visible to the naked eye in some places, and it was feared that they would shatter soon.

Human cities that have lost their most important line of defense will be in imminent danger, and countless people will die.

The entire population of this small plane is less than four million.

"Go, in the guise of a god, help these humans temporarily disperse the beast tide," the Goddess of Life said calmly.

Green-gold light surged in Nan Liujing's eyes, and his figure seemed to merge into the world.

at that time.

Within the oasis, the roars of magicians and ferocious beasts echoed continuously from the four human cities.

Ripples of light continuously exploded on the massive magic circle.

"Sector Two, provide support! Provide support!"

"Area 5 requests support!"

"Elder, the magic array in area seven is about to break!"

The magicians in every city looked extremely grim and solemn, while the ordinary people in the city were terrified and their faces were ashen.

The ferocious beasts began gathering on a large scale a year ago, during which time everything was calm until a few days ago when millions of beasts launched a terrifying beast tide towards four cities, attempting to wipe out the last surviving human civilization in the oasis.

"Crack!"

As if meticulously calculated, almost simultaneously, the magic arrays of the four cities shattered without exception, creating gaping holes that bred despair.

In an instant, countless ferocious beasts roared and surged in, their savage and ferocious faces reflected in the pupils of the mages responsible for resisting them.

"It's over!"

The same thought appeared in the minds of countless magicians.

"Fight them!"

Knowing there was no hope of survival, in the breached defensive area, a mage roared and released a self-destruct spell, attempting to perish together with the swarm of beasts that had swarmed in like locusts.

hum~
A trembling magical light emanated from Li Tian. He glanced back at the direction of Li City, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes, before resolutely charging towards the beast horde to buy time for the mages repairing the magic array.

"null--"

However, just as millions of people in four cities were in despair, in an instant, the sky lit up with an incredibly rich green-gold light, and the next moment, under the gaze of bewildered and astonished eyes, endless threads of light fell like a torrential rain.

The ferocious beast, its body stained with a menacing aura, melted instantly upon touching the rain of light, its corpse transforming into lush, verdant grass.

"what happened?"

People stood still.

"roll!"

In the sky, a figure materialized. He was not above any city, yet everyone could see him.

With a shout sweeping across the land, an endless pressure enveloped the heavens and the earth. Millions of ferocious beasts, like beaten wild dogs, whimpered and fled in fear into the depths of the desolate land.

"..."

People looked at each other, stunned and bewildered by what they saw. Those who had prepared to die for the city and pay a heavy price for their survival could not believe what they were witnessing.

The beast ran away.

He was chased away by that majestic figure's shout.

What an awesome existence!
"That is?"

The moment Li Tian turned his gaze to the sky, he was instantly dumbfounded.

That figure... how could it be so similar to Nan Liujing, who helped them eliminate all the demons in Licheng two years ago?

"From this day forward, certain areas of the restricted zone will be opened to human civilization..."

Nan Liujing turned around and took in the scenery of the four cities at a glance. Divine pronouncements, mixed with astonishing pressure, spread throughout the surrounding area.

When the white light that separated the restricted area from the oasis dissipated, people awoke from their daze, followed by a deafening roar.

"Great God!"

As his figure dissipated, Nan Liujing returned to the grassland. In the darkness, he could sense a strange power growing stronger.

Perhaps that is the power of faith.

"It seems you have completed it." The Goddess of Life said, and with a gentle wave of her jade hand, a spatial passage appeared.

"It's time for you to leave."

Nan Liujing and Leng Yaozhu bowed to the Goddess of Life and then stepped into the spatial passage.

The Goddess of Life gazed at Nan Liujing's retreating figure and murmured to herself, "This time, I won't misjudge him again, will I?"

...

Demonic forest.

The vortex, shimmering with a soft light, solidified, and two figures emerged from it.

Looking at the lush forest, Leng Yaozhu breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm finally back."

Nan Liujing decisively took out his mobile phone and dialed Xia Zhengleng.

After a brief wait, a surprised female voice came from the other end: "Liu Jing?"

Nan Liujing smiled and said, "Great-grandmother, I'm back."

"Okay, okay, okay." Xia Zheng said excitedly from the other end, "Where are you and Yao Zhu?"

Nan Liujing said, "We just left the small plane and are still around the Demon Forest."

"The Demon Forest?" Xia Zheng said coldly, "What a coincidence, your great-grandfather and I are in Mingdu. Just come over here and I'll send you the coordinates."

"Okay." Nan Liujing replied and hung up the phone.

After listening to the whole thing, Leng Yaozhu said, "I wonder what changes have occurred in the Spirit Pagoda over the past two years."

Nan Liujing chuckled and said, "We'll find out later."

After saying that, Nan Liujing tried to take Leng Yaozhu's hand.

But it was a failure.

Leng Yaozhu smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that we went back to the Douluo Continent?"

Nan Liujing stepped forward without any hesitation and put his arm around Leng Yaozhu's slender and alluring waist. "So what if we go back to the Douluo Continent? You're my woman."

"Look at you, so capable." Leng Yaozhu pointed her slender white finger at Nan Liujing's forehead and said irritably.

Nan Liujing teased, "Who has begged me for mercy time and time again?"

Leng Yaozhu's face flushed with embarrassment and annoyance. "You brat, I'm still your teacher. Show some respect."

Nan Liujing joked, "Yes, yes, my beautiful teacher."

Leng Yaozhu paused for a moment, then suddenly chuckled softly.

Nan Liujing asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Leng Yaozhu sighed, "I always feel that chatting with you is much more relaxed and pleasant after we've been honest with each other."

A smile flickered across Nan Liujing's eyes: "Let's go."

"Hmm." Leng Yaozhu thought of something and reminded her again, "Don't get the forms of address mixed up."

"Okay, got it."

Mingdu wasn't too far from the Demon Forest, and the two arrived at the coordinates provided by Xia Zheng Leng in no time.

After the attack on Shrek City, Mingdu has become the number one city in the Douluo Continent in the true sense.

With a permanent population exceeding 15 million, the bustling atmosphere upon entering the urban area is enough to overwhelm any other city. Mechs fly overhead at any time, and red mechs can even be seen occasionally. On the ground, security officers from the police department frequently appear, wielding the most advanced soul-guided weapons currently available, capable of inflicting considerable damage on soul masters below the fourth ring.

Most importantly, to prevent Mingdu from being attacked, more than six War Gods reside in the Temple of War, and the Deputy Temple Master Yu Guanzhi and his Central Army Corps have nearly a third of their troops guarding various locations. Even if the Holy Spirit Cult were to mobilize its entire force, it would be difficult to cause significant damage to the city.

The car stopped in front of a secluded villa. As soon as Nan Liujing and Leng Yaozhu got out of the car, two figures walked out from the door.

"Great-grandfather, great-grandmother".

Nan Liujing shouted.

He nodded and smiled gently, as if nothing had happened.

Xia Zhengleng's eyes reddened, and she ran over to hug Nan Liujing, showing the concern of an elder for a younger generation: "If it weren't for that girl Gu Yue repeatedly assuring me that you would be fine in the small plane, I don't know how I would explain to your parents when I went down there."

Nan Liujing felt a warmth in his heart: "I'm sorry to have worried you."

Xia Zheng coldly released Nan Liujing, looked at her precious great-grandson who had fully grown up, and nodded with satisfaction: "He's a little taller than your father now, but his face shape looks more like your mother's."

Nan Liujing responded with a smile.

"Has there been any change to the Spirit Pagoda?" Leng Yaozhu asked with a somewhat unnatural expression.

Xia Zhengleng was clearly unaware that her former best friend had become her great-granddaughter-in-law. She smiled calmly and said, "The changes are indeed quite significant, but now that you're back, it's no longer a problem. Come on, let's go inside and talk."

The four returned to the villa.

Right there in the living room, Nan Liujing and Leng Yaozhu learned about the changes that had taken place over the past two years.

Two years is not a very long time, especially for a top-tier power like the Spirit Pagoda, whose hierarchical structure is very stable.

What interested Nan Liujing and Leng Yaozhu was that in a few days, the Spirit Pagoda would begin a new round of elder elections, also known as councilors. In addition, the Spirit Envoy, deputy tower master candidates, and tower master candidates would also be selected.

Currently, there are two candidates who are most popular for the position of tower owner: Gu Yue and Qian Gu Zhang Ting.

Gu Yue represents the soul masters of the Tianfeng lineage, while Qian Gu Zhang Ting, needless to say, represents the Qian Gu family, as well as other forces and independent cultivators who submit to the family.

In addition, the upcoming selection of future high-ranking members for the Spirit Pagoda has also attracted the attention of the Soul Master community.

Especially the military.

The Western Legion, led by Fierce Wolf Douluo Dong Zi'an, and the Sea God Legion, led by Vast Ocean Douluo Chen Xinjie, clearly support the Qian Gu Family more.

The Southern Legion, led by Angel Douluo Le Zheng'en, and the Central Legion, led by Divine Brush Douluo Yu Guanzhi, secretly support Gu Yue.

However, the situation is not optimistic.

Because Qian Gu Zhangting has already broken through to the Title Douluo realm, and Gu Yue's cultivation level, although not specifically shown, is generally considered to be at most at the low-level Soul Douluo level due to his age.

Given the difference in cultivation levels, most people, both outside and inside the Spirit Transmission Tower, had already assumed that Qian Gu Zhangting would first obtain the status of Spirit Transmission Envoy and then become the successor of the Tower Master.

Xia Zheng said coldly, "If you hadn't come back, Yue'er would have had to take over. Luckily, you came back just in time."

Qian Gu Qingfeng interjected, "The internal election of the Spirit Pagoda hasn't even started yet, but the outside world has already begun to build momentum for Qian Gu Zhangting. Without a doubt, it must be the work of Qian Gu Dongfeng. He was banished to the Tian Dou Continent by your great-grandfather, and in the past two years, he has accomplished quite a bit. He has even established a considerable reputation in both the Tian Dou and Douluo Continents by leading the team to eliminate some small evil soul master organizations. Some high-ranking members of the family have been intentionally or unintentionally testing your great-grandfather's words, wondering if he can return to the Spirit Pagoda to take charge of the overall situation now that Tian Feng Douluo is not around."

Nan Liujing smiled indifferently: "The elimination of the small evil soul master organization was probably a charade he staged in collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult."

Qian Gu Qingfeng nodded in agreement: "Last time Shrek City was attacked, your great-grandfather forcibly protected him. Now he is even more secretive in his actions. Although many people in the Federation's high-ranking positions think so, they have never been able to find any evidence against him. This good reputation for eradicating evil soul masters has naturally been established."

Nan Liujing smiled coldly: "Then I will shatter his beautiful dream completely."

Qian Gu Qingfeng asked thoughtfully, "What is your cultivation level now?"

Nan Liujing grinned, revealing his teeth, and uttered a few words.

Qian Gu Qingfeng and Xia Zheng Leng's pupils shrank suddenly, their faces covered with astonishment and surprise, as if they could hardly believe it, before turning into ecstatic joy.
