Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

The little girl walked with her head down, seemingly lost in thought, though she appeared somewhat dejected.

Chapter 188 Coincidence and Joy

Inside a room in the Crown Prince's residence in Tiandou City, a group of girls were chatting idly. If someone were to see them, they would probably be astonished.

"Jiaojiao, what kind of person do you think His Highness the Crown Prince is?"

"Very strong, somewhat unconventional, but not bad."

"What's your opinion, Sister Hongchen?"

"He's a great young man~ He's only asked us questions, Xiao Wu, what about you?"

"He's clearly very bad!"

The residents of Tiandou City generally have a high opinion of this Crown Prince. His policies are quite beneficial to the people. Although the major projects are not directly managed by the royal family, even if they are subcontracted, they can generally allow ordinary people to have more income.

Although some people caused trouble, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the second strongest in the world, stood by his side, preventing any real disturbance. Their situation was also improving, especially after the Crown Prince returned from his nationwide tour.

But why would that Crown Prince keep a mistress? His reputation is so good, he has never had any scandals, and even the rumored little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has not made him lose control in the slightest.

The residents of Tiandou City didn't know, nor dared to ask. All they knew was that he was getting married soon, supposedly to a young lady from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but they didn't know if it was the same young lady who had confessed her feelings to everyone.

...

"Achoo! You made me sneeze because you were talking bad about me, you stupid rabbit, you're asking for it again!"

"Why bother? Even if my mental energy occasionally covers the entire Heaven Dou City, there's no need to include them..."

Regarding public security issues, Qian Shui possesses a mystical spiritual power that covers the area. Combined with systems and the establishment of a hierarchy, there are multiple solutions. The most direct approach is, of course, his spiritual power directly covers the area, leaving nothing hidden. However, this can cause mental pollution, resulting in too much miscellaneous information and the appearance of urban landscapes such as rats and cockroaches.

Therefore, he only used it occasionally. The key was to establish some departments with professional functions, which could be considered as a pilot project in Tiandou City to pave the way for its nationwide implementation.

"By the way, what do you think of the trump card I brought back?"

"Lord of Hongchen Hall?"

When Huan Hongchen and his group leisurely strolled to Shrek Academy, they were almost at Tiandou City. Currently, Qianshui's task for him is to develop some new things, such as boiling water.

"Soul tools are indeed almost lost on the continent. If they can create spatial soul tools, it will be of great help."

At this moment, Xue Qinghe muttered to himself, "If no one were around, there would probably be some strange rumors circulating in Tiandou City."

"The role of a Soul Master is far more significant than simply creating a few spatial Soul Tools. Xiaoxue, just wait and see."

"Okay, but what about you over there?"

"Why don't you go over there?"

...

Qian Shui first stared into thought at the crested serpent he had nailed to the tree trunk. She was the one who first discovered the serpent. Oscar excitedly muttered to himself, "I wonder what kind of soul skill I'll get!"

"Fly..."

Hearing Ning Huahua's guess, everyone was surprised again. Could this be predicted?

"Just guessing!" It can't exactly be considered precognition, can it...?

While Oscar was absorbing the spirit ring, Qian Shui also discovered some people who should have appeared but shouldn't have.

"Old Zhao, please keep an eye on them. I have something to do, I'll be right back."

Ning Huahua put down Qian Shuishui, whom she had been holding hands with, and started walking.

"Teacher Ning, you..." Zhao Wuji wanted to stop her, but he had no chance. Ning Huahua took a step and appeared several meters away. She took another few meters and disappeared from everyone's sight in a few steps.

"This is... Shrinking the Earth to an Inch!" Tang San's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints. He was the only one present who understood such a thing.

"Xiao San, what is 'shrinking the earth to an inch'?" Dai Mubai, who was keeping watch on Tang San's side, asked.

Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye the moment Ning Huahua took her first step, allowing him to see everything relatively clearly.

"It is a manifestation of profound cultivation, a method that can ignore distance. You can also understand it as teleportation that is not a teleportation soul skill!"

"How is this possible? Could it be a soul bone?!"

"No, Teacher Ning was indeed walking. She didn't suddenly disappear or reappear; it was as if she was just moving fast enough! But how did she manage to reappear? It's truly unbelievable!"

Qian Shui probably didn't expect that his casual display of skill would spark such a discussion, but Tang San's words piqued Qian Renxue's curiosity.

...

What's going on here?

"Blending into the light and dust" actually means high speed, but due to optical illusions, it appears as teleportation.

What does it mean to blend in with the world?

'Well, that's too complicated to explain. First, you need to integrate your mental energy with the environment...'

The questions of a higher realm require a profound understanding of the world, and Qian Shui's words cannot be understood by others.

...

As for Qian Shui, what he saw was a scene of conflict, with a group of people confronting each other, almost all of whom were his acquaintances.

Opposite them was an elderly woman with the Serpent Staff Martial Soul, accompanied by a beautiful young girl with short, ear-length hair, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. She wore a neat and tidy outfit that tightly covered her well-developed figure.

Of the eight people from the Spirit Hall group, plus the Ghost Douluo lurking in the shadows, Qian Shui could first recognize the three swordsmen led by the little fox, and then the tall, muscular man following behind.

This group of people were mostly the golden generation of the Spirit Hall who had trained in the Star Dou Great Forest, carrying the weights that Qian Shui had developed back then.

One of the ordinary-looking young men seemed extremely impatient. Although he was plain-looking, he had long, fiery red hair that cascaded down his back, and even his eyes were dark red. He seemed very dissatisfied with the current situation. "Old man! If you know what's good for you, get out of here!"

"Hmph! Your Spirit Hall is so domineering!" The snake-headed cane flashed with light, and the old woman's six spirit rings pulsed up and down. "You let that Wind-Tailed Crested Serpent escape; it's extremely suitable for my granddaughter's third spirit ring! How are you going to compensate me!"

Seeing his friend speak rudely, the little fox became displeased. This guy was always so reckless. "Yan! Shut up!"

As they argued, the tall, muscular man who tried to intervene noticed something and pointed behind the old woman, exclaiming, "Who's there!"

However, the old lady, who was at the Soul Emperor level, was completely unaware that someone was behind her.

A rustling sound gradually arose, and everyone present saw a stunningly beautiful blonde girl in a white and gold palace dress emerge from the depths of the forest.

A surge of soul power appeared, and a figure entirely in black, whose features were obscured, suddenly appeared before the young woman. He bowed and said, "Young Master!"

The dark figure seemed particularly surprised by the girl's appearance: "Why are you here?"

The blonde girl nodded but didn't reply, waving her hand to indicate that they could talk later.

"Miss Qian! It was you!"

The blonde girl smiled slightly and said to the tall, muscular man, "Long time no see, Brother Yu Zhou."

"Your Majesty, Ghost Douluo!" The old lady's face looked as if she had truly seen a ghost, her expression filled with terror.

"Leave, no one will pursue the matter."

The blonde girl spoke, gesturing for the old lady to leave. The old lady seemed to be granted a pardon, bowed, and took her granddaughter's hand to leave.

"Young Master, don't you need..." Ghost Douluo suddenly unleashed a murderous aura, and his target was the grandfather and grandson.

The grandmother and granddaughter, who were about to leave, had no choice but to stop. There was no doubt that they had no chance to resist the killing intent of the Title Douluo and could only be slaughtered at his mercy.

Fortunately, the blonde girl didn't mean it that way, and she didn't care about what others thought. She took something out of her soul tool and gave it to Yu Zhou first.

As she spoke, she said, "No need. They're irrelevant people. Let them go."

The girl's words were full of joy, and her smile never stopped; she was very happy.

After confirming once again that no one was stopping them, the grandfather and grandson left without looking back, as fast as they could!

"He's back?!" Yu Zhou, the muscular man, seemed very happy; at least his students had never seen him so happy.

The blonde girl who handed the item to Hu Liena smiled, patted her head, and replied to Yu Zhou, "Mm!"

Then he said to Hu Liena, "Come on over!"

Confused and at a loss, Hu Liena didn't know what to do. She didn't know Qian Renxue, but she did know that there was such a person, who was rumored to be her senior brother's concubine!

What she held in her hand was a bright red invitation card with Chinese characteristics. Someone hadn't originally planned to send it out so soon, but this just happened.

How could Hu Liena resist her curiosity? When she opened it, she understood where Yu Zhou's joy came from.

"Senior brother! He's back?!"

"Elder Gui, you and Elder Ju!"

Qian Renxue turned around gracefully, and announced to everyone present with a beaming smile:

"Two months from now, outside Tiandou City, in Sunset Forest, I cordially invite you all to attend my wedding with Xiaoshui!"

Chapter 189 Pain and Sorrow

"Oh, pass this on: tie that guy up and hang him from a tree overnight!"

Before leaving, Qian Renxue pointed at Yan Ru, who was completely bewildered, and said this.

His teammates were shocked, but only Hu Liena and Xie Yue understood and laughed until their stomachs hurt. Only the guy who was completely despondent was left behind.

Qian Shui also understood that Yu Zhou and the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall were repeating his training in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the next stage was to go to the Tide Body Refinement for the final sprint.

This place isn't far from Wuhun City, it really was a coincidence. As for the Snake Granny and her grandson, they came to hunt for spirit rings.

They handed the other people's invitations to Yu Zhou, also asking for his help: "Brother Yu Zhou, please convey our message to the others!"

"No problem, I'll take care of it."

Yu Zhou, who was the least noticeable person back then, is now one of the most reliable people in the team. Although Chen Sha was not seen here, Yu Zhou's presence proved a lot. At least he did not forget what Qian Shui taught him. In terms of level, he was quite diligent.

"The day we meet again is not far off. You, me, and Xiaoshui will reunite. See you later!"

Suddenly, Qian Renxue left, disappearing without a trace just as she had arrived.

At this moment, Ghost Douluo's aura surged, and his powerful soul force was directed at the students.

"Forget everything that just happened, everyone who saw it, and everything that was said! Otherwise, no one can save you!"

Everyone responded, including Yan, who was about to suffer misfortune.

He then transmitted his voice to Yu Zhou: "Xiao Zhou, keep an eye on these kids. That boy's return was so sudden, even I didn't know. And Miss's appearance was too abrupt. This matter must be reported to His Holiness the Pope. The decision of whether to go or not is not up to you or me!"

Yu Zhou readily agreed, nodding in agreement.
