Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

……

Bibi Dong, wielding the Asura Demon Sword, stood in front of Xuan Ming, her murderous aura palpable, her icy gaze fixed on Qian Renxue.

Gu Yuena also quietly stood on the other side of Xuanming, her silver-purple eyes flashing with a dangerous light, and the elemental power around her fluctuating faintly.

When Qian Renxue's domain was shattered by Bibi Dong's sword, and she saw Xuan Ming's speechless gaze, coupled with the undisguised hostility from Bibi Dong and Gu Yuena, her originally complex and excited emotions were instantly ignited, transforming into a strange anger and grievance.

She stood up, and her golden divine power surged once more. Although the angelic domain had been breached, it was still functioning, and divine pressure spread out.

"Bibi Dong! This is my inheritance secret realm! It's not your place to run wild here!" Qian Renxue's voice carried divine majesty and a hint of suppressed anger.

Her feelings for Bibi Dong were already extremely complicated, and now, with old and new grudges intertwined, they were even more at odds.

"Your secret realm?" Bibi Dong sneered, pointing the Asura Demon Sword directly at Qian Renxue. "Did you ask my sword before you touched my people?"

Although Gu Yuena didn't speak, the dragon's might and elemental fluctuations emanating from her body clearly expressed the same stance.

Xuanming stood between the two women, feeling the gunpowder in the air and the clashing pressure of three different types of divine power. He felt completely overwhelmed.

He rubbed his still slightly swollen temples, sighed, and said wearily, "Just calm down."

His gaze fell upon Qian Renxue, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable air: "Having just become a god, it's understandable that your aura is unstable and your emotions fluctuate greatly. But don't do anything foolish."

He then looked at Bibi Dong and Gu Yuena, and shook his head slightly: "I'm fine, I just expended a lot of energy, I'll be fine after a rest. You two... don't cause any trouble."

Qian Renxue bit her lip, looking at Xuan Ming's tired yet calm eyes, and then at Bibi Dong and Gu Yuena who were eyeing her menacingly. The nameless fire in her heart gradually died down, replaced by a deep sense of powerlessness and... grievance.

She had just experienced a profound emotional upheaval and the permanent loss of a loved one, leaving her in a highly unstable emotional state. Her actions just now were less a manifestation of desire and more an instinctive impulse to seek confirmation and reassurance. But now…

Bibi Dong snorted coldly, put away the Asura Demon Sword, but still stood beside Xuan Ming to show her stance.

Gu Yuena also concealed her aura, but her gaze remained wary as she looked at Qian Renxue.

Although she had won over Xuanming in the same way back then, he didn't resist at the time.

Now?

Xuanming was clearly unable to defeat this woman, which is why he was being suppressed!

……

Deep within the Papal Palace.

Xuanming leaned back on the soft couch, closing his eyes to rest.

Bibi Dong and Gu Yuena stood guard on either side of him, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

“From now on, you are not allowed to see Qian Renxue alone again.” Bibi Dong’s voice broke the silence. “She has now become a god, and in the Angel Secret Realm’s main arena, her strength is definitely superior to yours. You saw what happened just now; her emotions were extremely unstable, and her behavior was out of control. There’s no guarantee she won’t do something rash again.”

Although Gu Yuena didn't speak, she nodded slightly, her silver-purple eyes revealing her agreement.

Although she acted boldly and directly, and her taking over Xuanming could be considered a "forced acquisition," that was under the premise that Xuanming himself did not strongly resist or even half-heartedly agreed.

But Qian Renxue's stance just now was clearly an attempt to take advantage of a weakness and forcefully suppress, which was completely different in nature.

Xuanming is not yet fully recovered, so it is indeed not advisable for him to have any further contact with Qian Renxue, who has already become a god.

Xuanming opened his eyes and glanced at Bibi Dong with a hint of helplessness: "There's no need to be so nervous. She just went through a huge change and lost her composure. It was just a momentary impulse. After becoming a god, her temperament will gradually align with her divine nature and become more stable. Besides, we still need to discuss the matter of storing soul rings with her."

"Discuss?" Bibi Dong sneered as if she had heard a joke. "You think she's going to discuss things with you? Knowing her as I do, what she wants most right now is to use her superior strength to overpower you and force you to submit!"

"If you go to her now to negotiate, she'll definitely use the opportunity to blackmail you into paying a price! If you refuse, not only will she not help, but she'll do everything in her power to obstruct and sabotage you!" "That's exactly the situation Qian Renxue wants! She wants to be stronger than you so she can control you and maintain her ridiculous arrogance and domineering attitude! How could she possibly help you sincerely? She'll only try to trick you and force you to submit!"

Xuanming was somewhat speechless after Bibi Dong's series of analyses. He rubbed his temples, feeling even more exhausted: "Wasn't it you who suggested involving her in this matter in the first place? Why are you doing it again now..."

“Times have changed!” Bibi Dong interrupted him, her tone somewhat irritated. “I originally hoped to find her something productive to do, ease tensions, and give her a sense of belonging to the Empire. But I never imagined her mentality would become so twisted after she became a god! And I certainly never expected that you would be... being treated like that by her when you were so vulnerable!”

As Bibi Dong finished speaking, a hint of jealousy and annoyance crept into her tone.

Involving Qian Renxue in imperial affairs is one thing, but letting her steal my man? That's another matter entirely! Absolutely not!
Xuanming was speechless when he saw Bibi Dong's possessive manner and the look of deep agreement in Gu Yuena's eyes.

A woman's heart is as unfathomable as the sea.

He sighed, his tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of anxiety: "Then what should we do? We already have a method to forcibly remove the spirit ring, but the storage problem is the most crucial step. If we can't use divine power or the power of faith to store the spirit ring stably for a long time and achieve the recycling of the spirit ring, this contradiction cannot be fundamentally resolved."

His gaze swept over Bibi Dong and Gu Yuena: "There's less than a year left for the assessment. If I can't finish by then... I don't know what I'll do."

His voice was calm, but both Bibi Dong and Gu Yuena detected a hint of coldness in it.

Xuanming can reason, remain calm, and be patient and compromise for the sake of the bigger picture.

But if the path to his goal is completely blocked, if the "order" he seeks cannot be established in a relatively peaceful manner...

So he wouldn't mind using a more direct, violent, or even crazy way to solve it.

For example, what if we used absolute power to forcibly eliminate all obstacles? That would likely not bring order, but pure destruction.

Bibi Dong and Gu Yuena exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

They knew Xuanming and knew that his words were by no means alarmist.

When his patience runs out, his methods become extremely unpredictable.

“I’ll go and discuss it with her,” Bibi Dong said.

"Anyway, you can't have contact with her for the time being."

"Hurry up, this matter is very troublesome and cannot be completed in a short time." Xuanming sighed and sat up.

"I'm going to Poseidon Island to check on Poseidon's progress."

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of silver light appeared, and Xuanming disappeared.

Gu Yuena looked at Bibi Dong's furrowed brows and asked, "How about I go help you?"

Bibi Dong shook her head. "If you try to talk to her, she'll probably become even more rebellious."

Qian Renxue was severely defeated by Gu Yuena in the past, but now that she has finally become a god and has an advantage in strength, she will definitely think about how to find an opportunity to regain the face she lost back then.

If Gu Yuena were to discuss this kind of thing with Qian Renxue at this moment, that girl would definitely take advantage of her!

"You should also be careful; she might be looking for an opportunity to attack you soon," Bibi Dong warned.

Gu Yuena nodded. "She shouldn't be a match for me."

Qian Renxue has just become a god, and her progress is too fast. She has not truly mastered the power of the angel god. To put it bluntly, she has the numbers but no real skill.

If a real fight broke out, it's questionable whether Qian Renxue could even defeat Xuan Ming, let alone her. (End of Chapter)
