Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

But it didn't work. Davis was still staring intently at Feng Jingyi, his meaning clear: given his status, he wouldn't explicitly say that he didn't want to see Dai Mubai win any rounds.

"Don't worry, there's more than one peerless master in this world. Even if Xue Qinghe can't come back, we're still here." Feng Jingyi remained unmoved. She knew that Qian Shui never had only one trump card.

Dugu Yan was one of the traitors, but now she has returned to the country. Although Feng Jingyi was puzzled, the phrase "Xue Qinghe is still alive" revealed a great deal of information.

To those who fully grasp the truth, this refers to Qian Shui.

Having not returned for five years, the couple seemed to have vanished into thin air. Their situation was definitely not normal, and the news about Dugu Yan seemed to confirm the unease that lingered in everyone's hearts.

But that's enough; it's enough to shatter their illusions, since someone made the plan based on this very situation.

The only downside is those who don't understand, like Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong's heart was pounding as she put down the communication device. Regardless of whether the news was true or false, she could hardly suppress her emotions at this moment.

A million-word reflection

I originally intended to write a month-end summary, but then I realized I'd soon reach 100 million words, so I didn't and just put it all together.

It's really not easy for a new author to write 100 million words. They are always on edge, afraid of not being able to update.

There's not much to say, really. The story is coming to an end, as I'm sure everyone has noticed. It's hard to say how much longer it can be written, but it definitely won't be abandoned or have a bad ending.

As always, I want to thank all my readers for their continued support. It's a familiar phrase, and it feels a bit cliché.

That's all I'll say. Please recommend and comment!

Chapter 305 The Changing Situation, Ning Rongrong's Solo Journey to Tiandou [6000 words]

On the border of the Heaven Dou Empire, within the territory of the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs, which was formerly subordinate to the Heaven Dou Empire, a man in a gray cloak was running quickly with a package on his back.

This kingdom is located in the northwest of the Heaven Dou Empire, with part of its borders bordering the former Star Luo Empire. On the horizon visible to the naked eye in front of this man is Xilu City, a major town of the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom.

The man walked quickly; his destination was Xilu City, but he stopped somewhere outside the city. Clearly, someone was waiting for him.

"Oscar, you've worked hard."

"Of course, Your Highness the Third Prince."

The man in the cloak was Oscar, and the one he was working with was the Third Prince, Xue Haizang.

Oscar didn't say much, but handed the package he was carrying to Xue Haicang, saying, "Please have His Highness the Third Prince inspect the grain and supplies in the rear."

Instead of immediately addressing these issues—after all, Oscar had never made a mistake before—Xue Haizang, seeing Oscar's businesslike demeanor, subconsciously reassured him, "Don't be like that. The war is almost over, isn't it? Our victory is inevitable!"

Although Oscar in front of him looked very strong and didn't look like a food-type soul master at all, his long beard, natural white hair, and weathered eyes made him look like an old man.

"What is victory? What do you possess by winning? Those who leave will never return."

Xue Haizang knew what Oscar was thinking; wasn't he thinking the same thing himself?

Xue Haizang opened his mouth, a thousand words welling up but he only said, "Five years have passed, and you're still so fixated on it..."

"Dai Mubai and the others are filled with karmic obstacles, while the Spirit Hall is filled with hatred. Even if they cooperate out of temporary helplessness, none of this will ever be over!"

Because of that madwoman Qian Renxue, we even suffered a substantial loss of His Majesty the Immortal's super combat power. Otherwise, this war could have ended much faster, with fewer deaths!

Time is the most powerful weapon. Even someone like Xue Haizang gradually let go after five years.

Oscar felt increasingly lonely. Ning Huahua's smiling face still lingered deep in his soul, and he just couldn't let go of her.

It is said that everyone in the world knows you, but that person's significance to Oscar goes far beyond that deep-seated emotion; it is also a debt of gratitude for being recognized and nurtured.

For this reason, he would be loyal to her for the rest of his life, even though she was gone, her kindness remained.

"Your Highness, farewell."

“Sigh…” After exchanging farewells with Oscar for a week, Xue Haizang could only stare blankly at his retreating figure, “I hope he can get through this.”

After bidding farewell to Xuehaizang, Oscar headed east, his destination being a small town on the border of the former Barak Kingdom, which once bordered the Star Luo Empire.

At this time, the border was practically the rear area, where agricultural reforms were underway, and Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were there.

As the highest-ranking official, Ning Rongrong always did things personally. She didn't have Xue Qinghe's deep background and foundation, so if she wanted a voice, she had to start from the bottom.

This can be considered a small reunion for these teammates over the years. Former classmates have become enemies, and those girls are among the few who can stand at the forefront of the entire Douluo Continent.

Thinking of this, Oscar couldn't help but recall Ning Rongrong's face, which was exactly the same as Ning Huahua's. He smiled involuntarily, thinking that at least they could say goodbye.

But as he laughed, his laughter vanished. Suddenly, a woman with an extremely strange aura appeared before him, yet he could not sense any soul power fluctuations from her. She was smiling at him with disdain.

He could say he was very familiar with that face; he had even seen it from afar.

When he and even Shui Bing'er were trying to assassinate Dai Mubai, this woman appeared by Dai Mubai's side.

Oscar never imagined things would turn out this way, because this man is the original sin that started the entire war!

"Why aren't you running? Oh, so you know you can't escape now?"

Indeed, he was doomed. Even though Oscar was a genius with innate full soul power, and had worked desperately to cultivate over the years, participated in the Eastern Beast Tide War, and obtained some opportunities, he had only barely reached the level of Soul Saint.

Such achievements are already outstanding, but they are still not enough in front of high-level Soul Masters. They don't care if you are a genius or not, as long as they know you are an opponent.

After a moment's thought, Oscar hurled his spatial soul tool and a powerful explosive at his opponent, while he himself fled, shouting, "Flying Mushroom Sausage!"

As the smoke cleared, the man was unharmed. "Not bad, what a pity!"

-----------------

"Hey! Got your tongue?" In the dense forest, a group of carefree Soul Masters huddled together in twos and threes, their foul language never ceasing. The effeminate man with long golden hair at the head of the group finally opened his evil double pupils after seeing the evil ghost return.

"He resisted too fiercely and was knocked unconscious. He must be a big fish. He even has powerful explosives that can at least kill a Contra Douluo."

Upon hearing this, the man with the evil eyes and double pupils also took it seriously. He grabbed the man's head and examined the white-haired man closely. "Oscar?!"

"Little Ao?! Boss Dai, this fish is really big!" The one who exclaimed was a tall, thin man with long, dark red hair.

Familiar faces, familiar names—they are Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun. It feels like just yesterday they were both at Shrek Academy.

At that moment, a woman dressed in a green dress, with green eyes and hair, a slender figure, and radiating a green glow, walked out. "Work's here?"

She took a closer look, then licked her naturally dark green lips. "So it really is an old classmate~ Tsk tsk tsk~"

As she spoke, her long, dark green fingernails pinched Oscar's bearded chin. "I must say, once this beard is shaved off, his face might actually look presentable!"

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun exchanged a glance, their voices high-pitched, and both shuddered. "Yanzi, we can give it to you, but you know your own situation. Don't mess things up before you get it out of her!"

If you say this evil spirit is ugly, that's fine, but this former senior, though beautiful, is not someone you can easily get along with.

She is covered in poison. Apart from her ex-boyfriend Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, who has the ability to resist poison, no one else dares to touch her, since all her bodily fluids are highly poisonous.

Fortunately, this woman naturally harbored a grudge against Qian Shui, since her grandfather, Dugu Bo, died at Qian Shui's hands.

By revealing the truth, she easily found herself on their side.

After all, Medusa's Gaze had already been used by Chen Sha on the battlefield, and it couldn't be faked no matter what.

"Don't worry, he won't die until I'm done playing with him~"

“Dugu Yan, I must remind you again that we paid a price to find out that Xilu City is currently undefended and that most of its high-level combat forces are not in the vicinity. This is the perfect opportunity for us to seize their logistical supplies! Such a brilliant plan cannot afford to make the slightest mistake!” Seeing Dugu Yan’s bored and unmoved expression, Dai Mubai raised his voice.

These individuals are all quite capable, even very strong, but they are all very individualistic and have their own hobbies. Dai Mubai doesn't know if it's just his imagination, but he feels that the reason they have been being manipulated and led by the nose is because of this free and undisciplined nature.

“Oscar’s presence around Xilu City at this time is definitely not simple. Their strange logistical mechanism that ignores the conditions for transporting grain and supplies may be related to this! You don’t know this, but Oscar definitely does. We have to find out!”

"Alright, alright, I know. Nagging men are worse than women."

"you!"

This is no joke; Dai Mubai hasn't been a man for a long time.

However, Dugu Yan didn't want to pay attention to him. She grabbed Oscar and dragged him on the ground. The monsters and demons in front of her were so disgusting that she felt nauseous.

Stupidity is another matter. After all, although she didn't know how Xue Qinghe's logistics mechanism was established, you only realized there was a problem now?

Can they really get revenge by teaming up with these scoundrels? This was the conclusion she came to after Dai Mubai's first thousand-mile raid on Xingluo City ended in utter defeat following the news of Xue Qinghe's death.

She regretted it from that moment on, and their true nature began to be revealed. So from then on, she stopped participating and disguised herself as a pervert who enjoyed interrogation in order to temporarily blend in with them.

Just as Dugu Yan arrived at her interrogation point, a girl with dark blue hair walked out of a tent. Although she had a somewhat sinister air about her, compared to the others there, she was simply an innocent child.

Seeing Dugu Yan dragging someone back with a gloomy expression, the girl asked with concern, "Yanzi, what's wrong? Are you angry again?"

Facing this girl, Dugu Yan finally showed a genuine smile, but she needed an undisturbed environment. "Yes, Lan Fuzi, do you want to play together?"

"Ah, no need, I'm going to find my mother." The girl clearly understood what Dugu Yan meant by 'playing around,' and immediately ran over.

With a self-deprecating laugh, Dugu Yan dragged Oscar into a tent.

Only then did she completely shed that sinister facade that had blended into my environment, and look at Oscar with utmost seriousness.

She knew she had no chance to leave this situation; no matter how vast Douluo Continent was, there was no place for her. But Oscar did, as long as she was willing to pay the price.

She knew what the consequences would be if a handsome man like Oscar were thrown away, so she took the initiative to ask for him.

Because there are some things that need to be communicated, Oscar can't afford to be in trouble.

Only after placing Oscar on a chair surrounded by menacing interrogation tools did Dugu Yan finally wake him up.

"woke up?"

Without a doubt, after a moment of confusion upon waking, Oscar's eyes widened in anger.

"There's no time to explain. I'll only say this once, and you must listen carefully!"

"Dugu Yan! I have nothing to say to you!" With that, Oscar began to mobilize his soul power. His resolute eyes told him what he was going to do. He had no chance in front of the evil spirit, but now he could at least choose to die.

"Ning Huahua is not dead!"

Dugu Yan's deliberately lowered voice rang out, and Oscar finally stopped his soul power surge, "What do you mean!"

"As expected, you like that Crown Princess..." Dugu Yan's expression turned somewhat sarcastic.

Perhaps because she had worn the mask for so long, she longed for this kind of normal human interaction.

After straightening her expression, Dugu Yan said again, "It will hurt a lot next, but you have to cry out so that no one will suspect anything. Then I will tell you what to do and you will listen."

"Why should I believe a traitor like you!"

Oscar said what Dugu Yan said, but he had clearly calmed down.

Without hesitation, Dugu Yan's fingernails dug into Oscar's arm. The toxins began to take effect, and sure enough, Oscar couldn't hold back his scream, which echoed throughout the rest area. "Ah!!"
