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

……

Xuanming didn't rush to speak.

He held Qian Renxue quietly, letting her cling to him like a koala, feeling her gradually calming heartbeat and breathing.

It wasn't until most of the day had passed, and the divine light outside the window had changed several shades, that Xuanming gently patted her back, breaking the silence.

"I borrow your divine power for the sake of Douluo Continent."

Xuanming slowly spoke, "I plan to accelerate the process in that plane. I'm still somewhat interested in it now and want to transform it into the way I want it to be. But as you know, my concept of time is different from that of mortals. Perhaps in a few hundred years, I'll forget about it."

"So, while I'm still in the mood, I want to make Douluo Continent take a giant leap forward."

“But this requires immense power as a guarantee,” Xuanming explained. “I have distributed your angelic divine power to Bai Chenxiang and Ning Fengzhi, making them your priests and messengers in the mortal realm. In the future Douluo Federation, the belief in the Angel God will be mainstream, which is what you have always wanted, isn’t it?”

Qian Renxue lifted her head off his shoulder, her golden eyes still bearing traces of wet tears, yet they had regained some of their sharpness.

Who is Bai Chenxiang?

She went straight to the point, her tone unfriendly, "What? When did you start hooking up with another woman? The name sounds unfamiliar. A new love interest?"

Xuanming sighed, somewhat speechless: "Don't overthink it. Bai Chenxiang is from the Min clan, and by seniority, she is Tang Yuehua's niece."

Then, Xuanming patiently explained to Qian Renxue what had happened in the death row and the current situation of the Haotian Sect.

After hearing the explanation, the hostility in Qian Renxue's eyes subsided slightly, but a new wave of sourness immediately welled up.

"Humph."

She snorted coldly and pinched Xuanming's waist hard. "You really went to great lengths for Tang Yuehua. You made a special trip to the mortal realm, to that filthy death row, and forcibly elevated a little girl to the divine realm... You even went to rescue those remnants of the Haotian Sect who once wanted to kill you for her sake."

"Xuanming, you really spoil her rotten."

That sarcastic tone could be smelled from miles away.

Xuanming helplessly grabbed her hand that was messing around his waist, and looking at her sullen face, he suddenly laughed.

"Can you blame me?"

Xuanming raised an eyebrow. "Speaking of which, this ill-fated relationship between me and Tang Yuehua was actually orchestrated by someone."

"If you don't remember, I don't mind helping you recall."

"Back then, who was it that insisted on sending me to Yuexuan to learn aristocratic etiquette for that so-called plan to steal the country? If it weren't for those years of living and working together, Tang Yuehua and I would have been complete strangers."

"..."

Qian Renxue opened her mouth, but found herself speechless.

It seems... that's really the case!

Back then, she disguised herself as Xue Qinghe and thought that although Xuanming was exceptionally talented, he was full of murderous intent and didn't know the rules. In order to help him better integrate into the noble circle and become her helper, she put him into Yuexuan.

Who would have thought that this act of sending it would be like throwing a meat bun to a dog!

"It's not just Tang Yuehua."

Xuanming seemed to think the blow wasn't enough, and continued to add insult to injury, "And Ning Rongrong, that's your teacher Ning Fengzhi's daughter. I only came into contact with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School because of you; Zhu Zhuqing, that's because you wanted to win over the Star Luo faction; and Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling... Which of these people didn't have any interaction with me because of your plans in Tiandou City?"

"You deserve at least half the credit for my connections."

As Qian Renxue heard these names, she felt a tightness in her chest, as if she wanted to vomit blood.

This is what makes her most frustrated and resentful!
She didn't take these mortal women seriously at all back then.

She was proud and arrogant, and she felt that with Xuanming's cold personality, he would never look down on these ordinary women.

But she never expected that this guy, who seemed like a block of ice, was actually a warm-hearted and loyal man inside.

He cherishes every single one of those girls who treat him well, and he refuses to let go of any of them!

"Shut up! Don't say another word!"

Enraged, Qian Renxue covered Xuanming's mouth with her hand, "Say that again and I'll bite you to death!"

What she regrets most now is her "generosity" and "strategy" back then. It was like lifting a rock only to drop it on her own foot, and it hurts terribly!
Xuanming looked at her adorable expression of shame, indignation, and regret, and his smile deepened.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Xuanming changed the subject, saying, "The Douluo Federation needs not only Ning Fengzhi and Bai Chenxiang, but you also need to contribute to the Spirit Empire. If your subordinates are still alive, you can promote them to become guardians in the Federation if you wish."

"understood."

Qian Renxue responded listlessly, clearly uninterested in these official matters. "These are all minor matters. Since you've spoken, I'll do as you say."

She raised her head, her golden eyes suddenly becoming incredibly serious as she stared intently at Xuan Ming. "None of that matters. I'm more concerned about something else right now."

Xuanming asked, somewhat puzzled, "What is it?"

"Who are you planning to sleep with next?"

"what?"

Xuanming was completely dumbfounded, and even doubted whether he had misheard.

Isn't this a bit of a leap in topic?
Qian Renxue was not joking at all; she even stretched out her fingers and started counting them one by one.

“Gu Yuena was the first one. Although I’m angry about this, I know it happened a long time ago and can’t be changed.”

“That woman… I mean Bibi Dong, she’s the second one. Although I’m very unhappy about it, I… I accept it.”

At this point, she gritted her teeth, then stared intently at Xuanming.

"And who's next? Who is it?"

"Is it that little rabbit Xiao Wu? Or her charming mother A Rou? Or perhaps your new love, Poseidon, on Poseidon Island?"

"Is it that poisonous woman, Dugu Yan? Or that mute woman, Ye Lingling?"

"Is it that little witch Ning Rongrong? Or Shui Bing'er? Huo Wu?"

"Or perhaps from the soul beasts? Bi Ji? Zi Ji? Or the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor from the far north?"

Qian Renxue spoke faster and faster, her eyes filled with increasing curiosity. "It can't be... Tang Yuehua, can it? She just became a god."

"Or perhaps..." she narrowed her eyes, her tone turning dangerous, "that Ice Sister you can't forget? That Ice Dragon King?"

Xuanming felt a chill run down his spine: "Stop, stop, stop! Why are you paying attention to this? This... is this something that needs to be scheduled?"

“Of course it’s important!”

Qian Renxue said matter-of-factly, "This concerns my status at home! And... I need to know how far I'll be in line!"

Xuanming was both amused and exasperated.

Looking at Qian Renxue's serious expression, he suddenly felt a headache coming on.

"Anyway..." Xuanming hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth, "Anyway, it's impossible for us to be together for the time being."

"Why?!"

Qian Renxue instantly bristled, her voice rising eight octaves, "Why?! In what way am I inferior to them? In terms of looks, ability, and how long have I known you..."

"Am I not even as good as a rabbit?!"

"Not because of this."

Xuanming sighed and explained with a serious expression, "Xue'er, you have to understand. I just came from Bibi Dong's place."

“You are her daughter. If I had just slept with my mother and then came to sleep with my daughter the next day… that would be too beastly. It would be a huge disrespect to both of you.”

After hearing this, Qian Renxue gave a cold laugh.

She looked at Xuanming with a hint of mockery and madness in her eyes.

"respect?"

"Xuanming, you're talking to me about respect now?"

Qian Renxue approached step by step until she forced Xuan Ming against the wall.

"You slept with my mother! You slept with the Empress of the Spirit Empire! You slept with my own mother! This in itself is the greatest challenge to ethics and the greatest trampling on so-called respect!"

She placed her hands on either side of Xuanming's body, tilted her head back, and her beautiful face had a sickly blush.

"Now that we've gone this far, do you think... I still care about respect?"

"and……"

Qian Renxue leaned close to Xuanming's ear, her warm breath brushing against his neck, her voice becoming soft and alluring, "Xuanming, actually... you don't necessarily have to be so respectful."

Xuan Ming: "..."

Looking at the angel in front of him, whose eyes were glazed over and who had completely given up, he was really struggling to process what was happening.

No, these two... how come they're both like this?! (End of Chapter)
