Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 213 Ya Li, moved by the story, and Nan Liu Jing, who pledges himself to her lover.
Nan Liujing arrived at the shore of the Sea God Lake to wait. As soon as he landed, several beautiful figures crossed the lake and landed in front of him.

A single glance reveals a stunning brilliance that bursts forth from one's eyes.

Two years passed.

The four women's appearances haven't changed much; they still look as radiant as before, but their demeanor has completely matured.

Gu Yue's serene and refined temperament is etched into her being. When she smiles with her red lips, it's like a cup of clear tea, exuding a delicate fragrance and lingering charm. Deep within her silver eyes lies a clear and transparent quality. A single glance is enough to instantly soothe any anxiety in one's heart.

Wu Siduo is just like a thorny rose that hides its arrogance and composure, concealing its charm and beauty under its calm and dignified demeanor. Her heterochromatic eyes are filled with a sense of oppressive power that makes people feel intimidated, as if surrounded by an empress, not to be profaned.

Ye Xinglan used to have long, flowing hair that reached her waist, but now she has cut it short with sharp ends that fall to her chin. Combined with her stunningly beautiful and heroic face, it adds a touch of heroic spirit. Paired with a fitted outfit, it exudes a dashing and cold demeanor. Most importantly, it seems to have grown quite a bit.

In contrast, Yuan En Ye Hui had grown her hair long. Her chestnut-red hair shimmered with a subtle purple-gold luster under the sunlight, its curves alluring. However, the captivating aura she had previously exuded was now completely restrained, making her resemble a solitary, aloof mountain, intimidating and unapproachable.

Nan Liujing joked, "It seems none of you want to give me a chance to be disciplined."

Ye Xinglan said excitedly, "We haven't been slacking off these past two years. Everyone has completed at least two of the divine examination tasks."

Nan Liujing, look over here.

All the women wore proud expressions.

"According to the current classification of geniuses in the Soul Master world, breaking through to Soul Emperor before the age of twenty is considered a top genius. However, you have already reached the Soul Saint or even Soul Douluo realm at the age of eighteen or nineteen. If the Federation Grand Competition were still being held, it would definitely shock the world."

At this moment, Leng Yaozhu walked over from behind.

"teacher."

"Auntie Leng."

The women quickly bowed.

Leng Yaozhu smiled and nodded, teasingly saying, "I wonder what good deeds Liu Jing did in his past life to be able to meet four wonderful girls like you."

Upon hearing this, the four women blushed slightly.

Given Leng Yaozhu's status, her words essentially confirmed their relationship with Nan Liujing.

Gu Yue smiled and said, "Teacher, this isn't a good place to chat. Let's go somewhere else."

“Okay.” Leng Yaozhu nodded.

The group left the shore of Poseidon Lake and headed to the Dean's office.

Although she had been gone for two years, no new dean had taken over Leng Yaozhu's position at the Spirit Transmission Academy, so her office remained empty, and Gu Yue and the others would come over to clean it at any time.

Everyone scattered and sat on the sofa.

Gu Yue slowly said, "The leaders of all forces in the Soul Master world have arrived in Shrek City, waiting to witness the selection of the next successor of the Spirit Pagoda tomorrow. However, based on my observations over this period of time, the following forces are basically more supportive of Qian Gu Zhangting."

With that, Gu Yue waved her hand, and beams of light materialized.

Nan Liujing and Leng Yaozhu looked over.

The weakest of the forces that Gu Yue values ​​are still high-level forces, with at least one Title Douluo in charge. As for the other top-tier forces, their numbers are quite large, exceeding twenty, which means that each family has a Super Douluo behind it.

Season 3 is different from the ancient and prehistoric eras. Soul beasts have become extinct and soul spirits have risen, causing many families, whether completely or semi-secluded, to choose to return to the secular world. Their family disciples can be seen in almost every major city, which is why so many forces have emerged in a rush.

This also shows that the number of ninth-ring powerhouses in this era is far greater than it was back then.

Nan Liujing looked at it and suddenly laughed: "If I'm not mistaken, eight core disciples from top-tier forces have received promises of fusion-grade soul-forging metal from me?"

Gu Yue said, "For the past two years, you and Master have stayed in the small plane. Although we have publicly stated that you were only temporarily staying there, the higher-ups of these top forces do not believe it. They believe that after losing Master, a Limit Douluo powerhouse, the Tianfeng Family has degenerated into an ordinary top force and is therefore not worth investing in. They have switched their support to Qian Gu Dongfeng. Qian Gu Dongfeng, due to the disbandment of Shrek Academy and the shrinking of Tang Sect's industries, and fearing that the Federation might target the Spirit Pagoda, has also chosen to establish good relations with these forces that they had never associated with before."

"After all this, the Federation's higher-ups have become hostile towards us. In fact, we are even more of a threat to the Federation's stability than Shrek Academy was back then. As a result, Yu Guanzhi, the Divine Brush Douluo, took the initiative to meet with the old tower master. As for what they talked about, we don't know. But when he left, his expression was not very good."

Leng Yaozhu narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly: "This is also why the successive tower masters were unwilling to see Shrek Academy destroyed. If Liu Jing and I had really stayed in the small plane, I'm afraid that once Qian Gu Dongfeng regained power, the Soul Master world would immediately fall into chaos."

Wu Siduo said indignantly, "During this period of time, Qian Gu Dongfeng tried to win over Sister Gu Yue several times. After failing, he forcibly kicked Sister Gu Yue out of the Soul Spirit Research Institute and even tried to take over the latest scientific research technology. What's most hateful is that he shamelessly sent Qian Gu Zhangting to harass Sister Gu Yue."

A cold glint flashed in Nan Liujing's eyes as he calmly asked, "Did the High Ancestor not stop us?"

Ye Xinglan sneered, "In the end, Qian Gu Dongfeng and Qian Gu Zhangting are his blood relatives. I guess the old tower master also thought that you and Aunt Leng were forever left in the small plane, so he simply let his blood relatives run wild."

Nan Liujing remained expressionless, seemingly lost in thought.

Yuan Enhui also said indignantly, "If this kind of leniency had allowed Qian Gu Dongfeng to go so far as to try to swallow up the Tianfeng family's foundation, if it weren't for my great-grandmother's objection and even killing a few people on the spot to deter the villains, I'm afraid the foundation would have been lost by now."

"Most of it?"

Leng Yaozhu keenly sensed the problem: "So, in other words, the foundation of my Tianfeng family has still been somewhat lost?"

Yuan Enhui nodded reluctantly: "Although none of them are important industries, the loss of the side businesses has led many Soul Masters who had submitted to the family to choose to betray them and join the Qian Gu Dong Feng Sect."

After listening, Leng Yaozhu was not angry. Instead, she teased Nan Liujing, saying, "That's why I decided to train you. Without a top-tier Soul Master to protect you, even the largest family business will eventually be eroded."

Nan Liujing smiled faintly, "How comfortable they are eating now is just the beginning. Tomorrow I'll make them vomit it all up. As for those traitors, we should thank the Thousand-Year East Wind for helping us with the screening."

The women exchanged glances, and the weight that had been hanging over them finally lifted.

They've worked incredibly hard these past two years. Their cultivation levels have improved seemingly effortlessly, but the actual difficulty of the Divine Exam is beyond imagination. However, despite their cultivation surpassing their peers, they still lag far behind the older generation of experts. They have the desire to help Nan Liujing alleviate his burden, but lack the power to resolve the situation.

Gu Yue changed the subject, saying, "Senior brother, Na'er will be finishing her seclusion soon. Would you like to go and wait for her yourself?"

"Yes." Nan Liujing remembered something and asked Gu Yue, "Yue'er, do you know where His Holiness the Holy Spirit went?"

Gu Yue shook his head: "I don't know, the Holy Spirit Douluo hasn't shown up for a long time."

Leng Yaozhu said, "I have her contact information. Do you want to see her?"

Nan Liujing explained, "I promised Holy Spirit Douluo that I would help her find a 30,000-year-old Soul Nourishing Tree to prepare for the resurrection of Sky-Supporting Douluo. In the end, I did find the Soul Nourishing Tree. Although it was not old enough, it should be usable if I could accelerate its growth. But before I could take it away, you burned it with a fire, Master."

Leng Yaozhu was taken aback: "Is it that little tree that grows in the waterweed?"

"Correct."

Nan Liujing could only lament the impermanence of life.

Leng Yaozhu said awkwardly, "At that time, the beasts were pressing me hard, so I could only fight back with all my might. I didn't expect to burn the Soul-Nourishing Wood away."

“It’s all destined, you don’t need to blame yourself,” Nan Liujing comforted him. “Teacher, call the Holy Spirit Douluo now. No matter what, you have to tell him what needs to be told.”

“Okay.” Leng Yaozhu also sighed at the unpredictability of life.

She left temporarily to contact Yali.

The sofa area was suddenly left with only Nan Liujing and a few girls.

Having not seen each other for two years, the girls had a lot to talk about. They wanted to proudly say that they had worked hard to cultivate themselves over the past two years and had not let down the divine seed they had obtained.

Before they could speak, Nan Liujing suddenly smiled and said, "After the situation at the Spirit Pagoda stabilizes, Xinglan, Siduo, I would like to invite Uncle Wu and Uncle Ye to dinner."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xinglan and Wu Siduo were stunned for a moment, and after realizing what was happening, their bright faces turned bright red.

Feeling her cheeks rapidly warming up, Ye Xinglan teased, "Aren't you afraid they'll gang up on you when you meet two fathers-in-law at once?"

“能娶到你们两个，被揍也值了。”南流景一幅死猪不怕开水烫的模样。

"Pfft." The two women smiled.

Yuan Enhui sat to the side, clenching her small, white hand that still ached from being hit, and suddenly said, "Liu..."

"Yuan En, could you take me to your hometown sometime?" Nan Liujing asked before she could finish speaking.

Yuan Enhui was taken aback.

Nan Liujing said gently, "The sins committed by the demons should not be borne by the Yuanen family, your father, or you. I would like to meet your family as your fiancé, and if possible, I would also like to invite them to join the Spirit Pagoda. In the future, when there is an opportunity, we will seek revenge on those demons, and then I will accompany you to sweep your mother's grave."

"Okay?"

"Hmm~"

Hearing Nan Liujing's gentle voice, Yuan Enyehui's eyes immediately reddened. The composure she had cultivated over two years of hard training crumbled overnight. She hadn't expected Nan Liujing to take the initiative to ask to meet her family, and even to accompany her to sweep her mother's grave.

Upon seeing this, Ye Xinglan and Wu Siduo quickly came over and gently comforted Yuanen Yehui.

After several years, the sisters had a pretty good understanding of Yuan Enhui's family situation.

Gu Yue wanted to go over and comfort her, but Nan Liujing told her to leave for a moment.

Ye Xinglan and Wu Siduo gave her a reassuring look, and immediately, Gu Yue accompanied Nan Liujing out of the office and into the corridor.

Gu Yue cut to the chase: "Over the past two years, Di Tian has killed seven ferocious beast-level evil sea spirit beasts, but the ocean is still too vast. There are still some stronger evil sea spirit beasts that have committed even more blood debts and are hiding. Long Ao is willing but powerless, and has only persuaded a portion of the sea spirit beast clans. There is still a long way to go if we want to completely integrate the sea spirit beasts."

Nan Liujing crossed his arms and looked at Gu Yue's beautiful and refined face. He said calmly, "The wool comes from the wool itself. Every time these evil beasts make a move, the Shark King will definitely arrive. Perhaps we can find a way to locate these evil beasts from her."

"That's right." Gu Yue was taken aback. "How come I didn't think of that?"

Nan Liujing said with concern, "You have to study soul spirits and assist Xinglan and the others in completing the divine test. The burden is too heavy and too tiring. It's normal that you didn't think of this method."

These words struck a chord with Gu Yue. She blinked her beautiful eyes and said coquettishly, "You know I'm tired, but you don't even know how to give me a reward."

Nan Liujing laughed: "How about I repay you with my body?"

It was meant as a joke, but Gu Yue's eyes lit up, and she excitedly said, "You said you'd repay me with your body, so you can't go back on your word."

“???” Nan Liujing was taken aback.

Gu Yue wanted to say something, but then she saw Ya Li's figure fall in front of the detached building where the dean's office was located through the window.

With a slight shift in her gaze, Gu Yue's graceful figure passed through the window, light and shadow flowing across her side. The next moment, she tiptoed and pressed her lips to Gu Yue's.

Instantly separate.

Nan Liujing's eyes widened slightly.

But only the faint, lingering fragrance of Gu Yue remained by his side.

"I'll go back and check on Yuanen."

Gu Yue left a message, opened the door, and returned to his office.

Before Nan Liujing could say anything, a graceful and beautiful figure strode quickly through the empty corridor.

"did you find it?"

Ya Li walked over with a hopeful look on her face, with Leng Yaozhu following behind her.

"I'm sorry," Nan Liujing said apologetically after a moment of silence.

Yali's quick steps came to an abrupt halt. Her fair skin, which had been glowing softly in the sunlight, now seemed to have fallen into darkness, becoming utterly dull.

"is it?"

Ya Li blinked, tears welling up in her eyes. She forced a smile and said, "It's alright. I've already asked Zang Xin to search for you. With the power of the Xuanmen, there will always be a chance. It's just that it's so good that you and Yao Zhu are back safe and sound."

What does Nan Liujing want to say?

Then Yali asked with a hint of pleading, "Could you let Ming-ge come out and keep me company?"

Nan Liujing didn't speak, but with a thought, the space around him suddenly distorted.

Yun Ming's body, which was controlled by the demon's split soul, slowly emerged.

Nan Liujing, controlling the body, stepped forward and took Yali's hand, his expression as gentle as ever.

However, everything was staged by Namryo Gyeongsang.

Yali paused, her eyes somewhat dazed. She knew the lover before her was an imposter, but looking at this body, she was truly reluctant to pull her hand away from his.

Nan Liujing said in a low voice, "His Majesty Qingtian's body is not suitable for exposure yet, so please take it to Golden Island for a walk. Although we haven't found the Soul-Nourishing Wood, I will try to talk to Elder Jin to see if there are any other solutions."

“There is one more thing. Although His Majesty the Sky-Supporting Emperor’s body is under my control, it still retains some muscle memory. Moreover, the fact that this wisp of my soul can master so much of the Sky-Supporting Emperor’s power is also due to the influence of the predecessor’s soul. In other words, although what you are seeing now is a shell without the original owner’s soul, the shell still has memories that belong to you.”

The words "memories that belong only to you" immediately made Yali lose herself in thought.

The gloom on her face faded a little, and she nodded toward the Nanliu scenic spot: "It won't take too long, just a short walk."

After saying that, under the watchful eyes of Nan Liujing and Leng Yaozhu, Ya Li and 'Yun Ming' left.

However, after returning to Golden Island, which was formerly Sea God Island, under Nan Liujing's arrangement, 'Yunming' actually took the initiative to let Yali sit on the swing under the cliff.

The sun is just right.

Yali sat on it, swaying with the swing, a gentle breeze blowing on her face. Everything seemed unchanged, and the sorrow in her heart seemed to have lessened considerably.

"Liu Jing, thank you."

Yali closed her eyes and spoke softly.

Yunming, who was pushing the swing from behind, paused for a moment.
