Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

The sound of the door opening and closing startled Liu Erlong.

"Purple Pearl, what are you doing?"

The woman in the purple robe in front of me opened the door a crack, her body swaying awkwardly as she cautiously peered outside.

This is a woman with a well-proportioned figure, who looks to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She is extremely beautiful, with a high nose, big eyes, and short purple hair that looks neat and tidy, exuding a heroic spirit.

Turning around, a pair of beautiful, large purple eyes stared at Liu Erlong with horror.

"Uh... is there something you need?"

"What I have to say..." The woman named Purple Pearl suddenly lunged at the square table where Liu Erlong was sitting, still panting heavily, but said very seriously, "You mustn't be afraid!"

Seeing that she seemed to really have something on her mind, Liu Erlong also straightened his expression. "I am a Soul Saint, and you are a Soul Emperor. What are we afraid of? Tell me slowly."

"I just saw a mermaid!"

Purple Pearl was extremely serious, her expression completely genuine, as if it were real.

Overwhelmed by her imposing presence, Liu Erlong gasped and even leaned back slightly. "Who is this mermaid?"

Purple Pearl seemed somewhat incredulous at Liu Erlong's question about who it was. Her purple eyes widened, her gaze filled with a mixture of shock and terror. "Not who it is! It's a mermaid who's half human and half fish!"

"Oh, mermaid! I get it!"

"You don't understand!" Purple Pearl was so angry that she bared her teeth and brandished her claws. She felt that Liu Erlong was deliberately trying to appease her. Was this the time to appease her?

"Mermaids! Have you looked at any picture books? You know, the kind with long hair and a great figure, right?! You understand?!"

Zi Zhenzhu was both angry and gesticulating wildly, so Liu Erlong quickly reached out to soothe her, "I understand! Continue!"

"She frantically asked my subordinates where I was, saying she was looking for me! I'm famous around here, who doesn't know me? Then she released her aura, super strong! Right over on the beach!"

My men were all wiped out, not a single one was spared! All of them!

The soul pressure emanating from him was so strong, and he was heading deeper into the island step by step. I took off running, heading towards you…”

"Puch!"

Liu Erlong's laughter interrupted Zi Zhenzhu, and the atmosphere fell silent for a few seconds.

"Pfft~"

"What are you laughing at?!" Purple Pearl demanded directly, her eyes wide.

"I remembered something happy!"

"What happy thing?"

"My injury is almost healed!" Liu Erlong said very seriously.

"puff…"

"Why are you laughing again!"

"My injury is almost healed!"

"Are you sure?" Seeing that her face was still a little pale, Purple Pearl was somewhat incredulous.

"Ah, right, right! Pfft..." After forcibly suppressing her laughter, Liu Erlong explained again, "Ah... it's almost healed, not already healed."

Bang bang bang! Purple Pearl became even more serious, slamming her hand on the table angrily. "I'll say it again! I'm not joking!"

“Yes…yes…hahaha…”

"Hey!!!" The last syllable was drawn out, and it was clear that Purple Pearl, who continued to slam the table, was not joking.

"Um! Ah! Let's get back to the point! Um... you were just talking about... this mermaid, is she pretty?"

When asked about this, Zi Zhenzhu felt she had a lot to say. She just liked pretty children, otherwise how could she have saved Liu Erlong, who had been adrift at sea for three days?

"It's not a matter of whether she's pretty or not! She really is that kind of... that very rare kind of person. She has beady eyes, a pointed nose, and pointed teeth. She's really beautiful! It's a pity I ran too fast and didn't see her size!"

"puff…"

"You've gone too far! I've tolerated you for too long!" With a slap, Purple Pearl nearly shattered the table beneath her. Is this how she treats her savior?

"My injury is almost healed!"

"You were obviously laughing at me! You never stopped!"

Liu Erlong straightened his expression and waved his hand, signaling the other party to calm down. "Miss Purple Pearl! I have received rigorous training! I am the dean of a Soul Master Academy! No matter how funny it is, I will not laugh! Otherwise, how can I manage my students, right!"

After a pause, Liu Erlong blinked and said, "Unless I can't help it!"

"Pfft! Hahahaha!"

Just then, the door was opened amidst Liu Erlong's maniacal laughter and Zi Zhenzhu's frantic outburst. "Are you talking about me?"

In an instant, the room fell silent.

A few seconds later, Zi Zhenzhu suddenly jumped up, startled, and fell into Liu Erlong's arms. Liu Erlong instinctively caught this woman whose orientation was somewhat questionable.

"Beautiful! Beautiful! A mermaid!"

"It doesn't have a tail?"

"You didn't see it! She leaped out of the water from a great white shark at least 30,000 meters deep, and then in a flash, she transformed into this stunning beauty!"

Clearly, Purple Pearl was quite frightened and had started gesturing wildly and spouting nonsense.

The woman before him, with her perfect, tall figure and long, grey-blue hair, whom Purple Pearl called a mermaid, was quite displeased. She crossed her arms and retorted, "Hey! That's an exaggeration! I'm not 30,000 meters tall! I'm not that fat, okay?!"

"Isn't your focus a bit odd...?"

Pointing at Liu Erlong, the mermaid asked somewhat anxiously, "Forget it, I don't have time to play around with you guys anymore. You're Purple Pearl, right? You have the highest soul power level, so you must be right?"

"I am the Purple Pearl! Her hair is all black, where is it purple?!"

"Is that the point?!" Liu Erlong was incredulous. She could also sense the soul power fluctuations of the mermaid in front of her, which was at least stronger than hers? She was a strong person, so how could her personality be so...lively?

Purple Pearl goes without saying; she's always jumping up and down. But no matter how eccentric this woman is, she's no pushover, otherwise she wouldn't be able to control the entire pirate crew.

"Whatever. Just do me a favor and send a message to Douluo Continent, telling him to return to Seagod Island as soon as possible?"

"Seagod Island?" This wasn't the first time Liu Erlong had heard of this name. It was shrouded in mystery, and the people here were very secretive about the island.

"A message? Who are you?" Purple Pearl seemed to realize something, regained her seriousness, and jumped up from Liu Erlong's arms.

"How about you take a guess?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, right? If it's up to you, our Purple Pearl Pirate Crew will do our utmost!"

It's a pity that this woman would be even more imposing if her voice wasn't trembling. Liu Erlong didn't understand what she was afraid of. Was this so-called King of the Great White Shark really that powerful?

"Hehe, what message do you want to send? And to whom?" Zi Zhenzhu rubbed her hands together, her face full of flattery, and moved towards the mermaid with a shy and hesitant gait. "Just tell me! I will definitely do it."

“I’m not going to eat you… Send a message to someone named Qian Shui, saying that something big has happened, it’s very serious, it concerns the life and death of Douluo Continent, and we should return to Seagod Island immediately.”

Chapter 285 The Arrival of Crises from All Sides

"Let's talk."

"What does she mean?"

"I don't know..."

Seeing Liu Erlong slam the door and leave, both the man and the fish were completely baffled.

"My lord, could you be more specific? Where can we find this 'Thousand Waters,' and what major event is it?" Purple Pearl still had a fawning expression on her face.

"If I knew, I would have gone there myself. Why would I need to ask you humans?"

"What you say is true, sir! But there is a way. Why don't you wait on the island?"

"Hurry up, I'm not kidding. If you can find him, that will be a great achievement."

"Yes!"

...

“My ship is fast; it will take at most three days to reach the vicinity of the mainland. Are you really not going back to the mainland?” On the beach, Purple Pearl, gazing at the horizon, stood beside Liu Erlong and said, “Erlong, what’s wrong with you? Is that Qian Shui your ex-boyfriend?”

"Pfft! Deflated! How is that possible!" The attack was broken in a second. Purple Pearl's personality is really quite fiery, unlike the Soul Masters on the continent, who are more reserved in their words.

"Why did you look like a wronged woman when Lord Demon Soul Great White Shark mentioned that person's name?"

"He is the man who killed my father...maybe..."

"Uh…"

"Father's killer? Who are you? How dare you have a grudge against Qian Shui?!" The mermaid's voice suddenly appeared behind the two of them, but this time it was not friendly, but murderous.

"Does his sphere of influence extend to such a remote island?"

Now, disheartened, Liu Erlong no longer cares about these messy things. To her, the deaths of her relatives and friends are nothing compared to the distant and insignificant hatred.

It's a bit strange, though, why is this mermaid so hostile?

"My lord, what is this?" Without making a sound, Purple Pearl walked towards the middle of the standoff between the person and the fish, blocking their way.

"Qian Shui isn't a good person, is he? He's got a screw loose!"

But he's not a bad person, nor is he a killer. He would never act unless absolutely necessary.

If you have such a deep grudge against him, then I'm sorry, but I have to question your character!

Putting aside her status as the successor to the Sea God of Qianshui, judging from the short time Xiaobai and Qianshui have spent together, if there were any problems, it would be almost impossible for them to be with Qianshui.

He stopped the slaughter of the Demon Orca clan back then, and Xiaobai, who witnessed almost the entire Holy Pillar Battle, also knows that Qianshui almost couldn't hold back during the Sea Illusion Douluo level, but he completed all the other levels perfectly.

Even the Sea Illusion Douluo didn't shake him much, which is what makes him so terrifying.

It should be noted that Haihuan Douluo is notoriously unpopular precisely because he is adept at uncovering the things people least want to face, causing them to break down.

Therefore, this is something even a novice like her can easily judge. If Liu Erlong's father hadn't reached the point where Qian Shui absolutely had to kill him, he wouldn't have taken action.

Seeing the mermaid looking at him with hostility, Liu Erlong was unsure. He hadn't had much contact with Qian Shui, only met her a few times. If it weren't for the fact that Yu Xiaogang's death was involved, they could be considered to have met by chance.

But she had already experienced firsthand what kind of beings those evil spirits were.

Putting aside the matter of the Huan Kingdom, if Qian Shui is not bad, then there is only one possibility: the people in the shadows are, including her father.

"I'm not sure... I just heard it from someone..."

"Does hearing something mean you can just spout nonsense?!"
