Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

Qian Shui understood this perfectly well, but his focus wasn't on money at all, but rather on how to destroy the imperial system.

"Isn't that great? They can only do the first thing before we can do the fifteenth. People always only believe what they see. Rongrong, you have to make good use of the video recording soul tool."

Ning Rongrong finally understood. "You mean we should wait until they finish this before making it public? That way, even if Xue Beng takes the throne, the angry public will demand his abdication. After all, we have the advantage in terms of strength, and they won't be able to suppress this outcry."

"Yeah, that kid shouldn't be emperor, let him just say so. If he doesn't have the throne, he won't be able to sit on it anymore."

Qian Shui smiled sinisterly, but Ning Rongrong only thought his teeth were very white.

"By the way, Brother Shui, I've always wanted to ask you, you could have easily solved all of this, so why..."

If someone else asked, Qian Shui would answer Dugu Yan the same way: "Use your own brains."

But Ning Rongrong was different. "I've solved everything, and then you all worship me like a god? What will happen when I have no choice but to leave? Who will succeed me?"

"Rongrong, think long-term. One person's strength is ultimately limited. No matter how strong you are, if no one helps you, you will always be exhausted. Only with successors can things last, and only the stronger can free up time to do more."

As he spoke, he pointed to the sky, "For example, up here."

People have always preferred things to be quick and easy, as simple as possible.

The problem is that rinsing your hands with water is called washing your hands, and rubbing them thoroughly is also called washing your hands.

To put it bluntly, I've done all the work, so what are you doing? Just sitting back and reaping the profits? Do you think it's that easy?

With her head bowed, Ning Rongrong, seemingly accepting her lesson, said, "I know you wanted to groom me..."

"I guess so..." can only be considered one of the objectives.

All that talk is pointless. Qian Shui just wants to run away and not go to work. He solved that problem in one go. Without this kind of experience package, Ning Rongrong and the others, who won't get any training, will cause a lot of trouble. Then he'll still have to clean up their messes, and that will never end.

Aside from scolding, Qian Shui wasn't very good at offering words of encouragement. She tried to smile gently at Ning Rongrong and said, "Anyway, keep up the good work. Just treat me like one of your top generals. As long as it's reasonable, I'll follow your orders—Supreme Commander!"

Ning Rongrong beamed with joy. She took two steps forward, hands behind her back, and stood before Qian Shui. She tilted her head back, her eyes sparkling like stars, and said, "It's a deal then!"

The brother and sister smiled at each other, but Ning Rongrong wasn't about to let Qian Shui off so easily. "Brother Shui, if you don't behave, I'll tell Dad he has a big-headed son!"

"Hey! Rongrong, is this really necessary?"

This really hit Qian Shui's sore spot. The last thing he wanted to face was Schrödinger's biological father. It would be better for everyone if this didn't exist.

"Then let's see how you do~" Having achieved her goal, Ning Rongrong smiled even more happily.

This is one of the few times she has been able to gain the upper hand in front of Qian Shui.

Shaking his head, Qian Shui felt that the plan was still not good enough. He had to create a fake child's identity. Once it was exposed, some things would be really hard to explain. He suggested that it was better to keep it a secret until the end.

"Go back, my general. Go back and wait for Tang San's plan to be implemented."

"All right…"

Tearing open the space, the two returned to the former Crown Prince's residence.

Just as Qian Shui was starting to relax, he felt something was amiss, as if something was waiting for him.

"This can't be... Rabbit! We're doomed!"

Chapter 322 Tang San is brutally killed by the Eight-Stage Throw.

"If nothing ever begins, then there's no point in thinking about the ending, right?"

The entertainment room was bustling with activity. Qian Qingyu was surrounded by her elders, Bai Chenxiang was talking incoherently with Zhu Zhuqing, and even Qian Shuishui and Gu Yuena were being vividly described by Qian Qian.

Only Xiao Wu huddled to one side, hugging her legs, head down, muttering to herself.

Perhaps she should have been killed by that man long ago, becoming his soul ring and soul bone, so that she would only suffer for a moment, right?

"I think you're asking for a beating again. Since you're so depressed, you might as well be a sacrifice."

Although Xiao Wu spoke softly, Qian Shui, who suddenly appeared, still heard her.

He spoke with disdain, using his usual way of interacting with Xiao Wu to look down on her, trying to crack a joke.

But Xiao Wu laughed; this was the second time he had asked her to make a sacrifice.

Xiao Wu was terrified when she was threatened last time.

But now she's not afraid anymore. Anyway, she has nothing left to lose. Maybe this way she can be with him forever in another way?

So she innocently and cheerfully replied, "Okay!"

It's like returning to that ignorant and fearless wild rabbit who has just left the Starry Sky Forest.

In an instant, pink soul power light filled the entire entertainment room, attracting everyone's attention.

Unfortunately, the rabbit's melancholy never lasted more than three seconds before Qian Shui punched her on the forehead, yelling, "You little brat! What the hell do you think you are?!"

Qian Qingyu: What's wrong? What's wrong?

Qian Shuishui: Here we go again.

Bai Chenxiang: Teacher, the direction of your punch is the Kan position?

Gu Yuena: My little rabbit is being bullied by Brother Qianshui. Should I help her?

Qianqian: If Qian Renxue saw this, it would be amazing!

Teammates: We didn't see it! We didn't see it!

In short, the group, who had quieted down, resumed their conversation as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Wu, who had been hammered to the ground, was completely exhausted. However, she also learned something else: Qian Shui really didn't have any more spirit ring slots.

Like a fleeting flower in the human world, her fate was ultimately the same for a weak rabbit like her. In the end, she couldn't even die even if she wanted to?

With a slight sigh, Qian Shui knew, of course. This guy was stupid and foolish, but not so stupid that he couldn't tell who his enemy was.

Qianqian immediately called out Bibi Dong's name. Bibi Dong is the Pope, Qianshui's teacher and mother-in-law.

Suddenly, she became the mother-in-law of the person I love, and the enemy who killed my mother? So this rabbit has most likely suffered a breakdown of its Dao heart.

The problem is that Qian Shui can't respond to whether the rabbit loves him or not; otherwise, pressing him into bed would probably solve the problem.

"It's not over until it begins. I shouldn't have captured you in the first place!" If I had just let her be a star-crossed couple with Tang San, none of the subsequent events would have happened.

With a flick of his finger, Qian Shui lifted Xiao Wu into the air, nearly causing her white gauze dress to slip down and expose her. He then pulled her behind him and, in full view of everyone, opened the door to the entertainment room and left.

Qianshui brought the rabbit to the pond that her little apprentice liked very much, and then put her down.

"Don't think too much about it. You can think of things that I can't? But it's not bad that your rabbit brain is starting to think about the hatred between soul beasts and humans."

"Anyway, I can't become a god. Why don't you do it if you have the ability? In the end, isn't it just helping your relatives?"

After transforming into human form, Xiao Wu's original wish was to cultivate herself into a god and resurrect her mother, but this wish was shattered by Qian Shui long ago.

For a while afterward, she lived in a daze, relying on the feelings she had for the master and disciple to survive.

In the end, the child she raised grew up, but the man still treated her like a rabbit.

Qian Renxue once said that being with him made her feel at ease, and she didn't have to worry about anything. Even if he beat her up, she would still be angry because he was just mean-spirited.

But he won't risk his own life; he'll always arrange everything clearly for you, whether you like it or not.

So she didn't care; she was, after all, a soul beast, and all she could do was crave!

"Year after year, day after day, I have lived for ten thousand years. Ten thousand years is far too long, so long that I can no longer answer your question. But if I could answer it, would you still leave then?!" At this moment, she only wanted to seize that one last moment.

Qian Shui still hadn't noticed, and Xiao Wu snuggled into his arms. He could only smile wryly, "Was it really necessary to use teleportation..."

Sensing the rabbit's increasingly human-like aura and its appearance that would be considered excellent by any normal man, Qian Shui felt he should make a gesture out of respect for his own gender as a man.

But he still couldn't do that. So be it, he might as well be worse than an animal. It's better than being threatened by his wife and forced to be rejected later. That would be a huge loss.

As for whether or not to answer questions, that's a question for Gu Yuena; he never expected anything from the rabbit.

"Hey! Let go! Why are you using skills now?!"

"Sister Xiaowu was born between heaven and earth, how can she live in seclusion under the snow for long! Today, it's either you take me or I take you!" With the Soft Bone Lock activated, Xiaowu became fierce and uttered these ruthless words with a red face.

As they were talking, Xiao Wu started pulling at Qian Shui's clothes.

This really worried Qian Shui. "You damn rabbit! In broad daylight, Qing Yu is still nearby. Don't push me!"

Even if you beat me to death today, I will never let you go!

Qian Shui, who was struggling with Xiao Wu, suddenly burst into blue light. "You forced me to do this! Five Thunderbolts!"

Xiao Wu never expected that he could heal her while simultaneously striking her with lightning magic. Was he even a man?

"Shui Shui!" Qian Shui shouted, calling his little apprentice over.

"Teacher." The young apprentice arrived very quickly.

Pointing at Xiao Wu, who was electrocuted, tattered, and smoking, Qian Shui casually sealed her soul power. "Take her back! Let's see what she's like!"

"I'll figure out what to do about your mother. If you mess around again, I'll hang you on a tree!"

Even though she was already numb from the electric shock, Xiao Wu was still struggling as her little apprentice pulled her along, yelling, "Hang up! Qian Shui, you're not a man! You're not a man!"

Xiao Wu isn't human, but Qian Shui is truly shameless. Since he can't clear his name, Qian Shui is too lazy to care about her anymore, since he's shameless enough anyway.

While helping Ning Rongrong break through to the next level that evening, Qian Shui was setting up an array on the side. He couldn't finish it right away, so he had to continue and ran away in a flash.

Furious, Xiao Wu had nowhere to vent her anger. Even though her soul power was sealed, she still fought with her little apprentice, since her soft techniques didn't really require soul power anyway.

Although it's normal for Soul Masters to fight, and they enjoy it, not everyone has the time or inclination for it, like Ning Rongrong.

"What is all this nonsense?!"

When Song Xuan and Qian Mei got into trouble, Xue Ke, who was temporarily brought in to help, was initially confused. However, she was startled by Ning Rongrong's sudden outburst of anger. Were all these important figures so bold and unrestrained when they worked?

"Let Tang San come over here and explain himself! What kind of plan is this?! Since they invited a Title Douluo, did he even consider their basic needs?" Ning Rongrong berated the ordinary official who came to deliver the plan.

There are advantages to being big, but there are also difficulties. This is something that Ning Rongrong clearly felt from her education and her experience in governance.

Just considering the distance alone, hundreds of kilometers versus thousands of kilometers is not a tenfold increase in workload, which makes it relatively simple to travel from one large city to another.

But once you jump to a different level, it's completely different. This is the difference between the far north and the Starry Sky Forest. The climate difference alone means you need to bring several sets of clothes.

This conference was no exception; its scale was far beyond the small-scale competition among ordinary students, such as the elite contest.

Just the funeral of Xue Qinghe alone involves inviting a number of people, which cannot be done on a whim; the obituary alone is very difficult to write.

Tang San, on the other hand, simply expanded the scale of the original elite competition, and that was it.

All they cared about was the competition rewards; they didn't consider anything else.
