Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

"Young friend Qian Shui is not only exceptionally handsome, but also possesses undeniable talent. I wonder which family's genius he belongs to. It is truly an honor for Yuehua to make his acquaintance!"

'So you're already testing the waters? You're really impatient…'

Qian Shui remained expressionless and silent, taking out the papal decree and placing it in front of Yue Hua.

Although Tang Yuehua appeared calm, her heart was in turmoil. She picked up the papal decree and examined it carefully.

Tang Yuehua returned the papal decree to Qian Shui and forced a smile. "So you are a genius from the Spirit Hall. I had thought that the current Pope Bibi Dong had a disciple with extraordinary talent who was the captain of this year's All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament. So this is Lord Qian Shui."

"You flatter me, Master." Qian Shui disliked this kind of occasion, so he didn't say much.

"The preliminary rounds of the tournament haven't started yet, and as far as I know, your teammates haven't arrived in Heaven Dou City. I wonder..."

Qian Shui had no desire for such roundabout talk, so she interrupted Tang Yuehua, "I've come to sound things out first. Is the Pavilion Master very interested in my Spirit Hall? I thought you were here to discuss those pieces~"

"It was Yuehua who was impolite..."

……

In short, the atmosphere at the Yuexuan trip was very good, and both the guests and hosts had a great time. However, after a night of fermentation, Qian Shui's news spread, and everyone knew, whether they should or shouldn't have known.

"You're quite popular, aren't you~" After getting into the carriage, Qian Renxue began to tease Qian Shui.

"That is!"

When Qian Shui performed, the gazes of the female fans in the audience were something he had never experienced in his previous life, and his vanity swelled instantly.

"But I'd better not come next time. Tang Yuehua's gaze towards me has changed." Qian Shui said he would never come again. After all, the Spirit Hall had caused their Clear Sky Sect such a miserable situation, and he felt helpless because of the hatred he felt towards the Spirit Hall.

"makes sense."

"I can't sleep tonight. What's fun to do in Tiandou City?"

"No, not at all." If it were someone else, it might be hard to say. Douluo Continent may not have many other things, but such activities are quite developed. However, Qian Renxue couldn't possibly take Qian Shui there, could she? "Go back and cultivate."

"Oh? It looks quite lively over there!" Qian Shui looked at the brightly dressed women and aristocratic young men outside the curtain. "Shall we go take a look?"

Qian Renxue frowned. The place Qian Shui pointed to was a high-class club, essentially a brothel. At the same time, she also noticed other people. "Xue Luochuan?"

"Your brother?"

"Xue Qinghe's second brother. Why is he in a place like this again?"

"Where is this place? A brothel?"

"Yes, weren't you going?"

"No, no, I'm not going." Qian Renxue's expression was unfriendly, which Qian Shui could tell. "You're not very old, are you? Aren't you going to do anything about your younger brother?"

"Why bother with him? He's going to die anyway."

"You want to kill him?"

"Yes, I'm planning to give him some slow-acting poison soon."

Qian Shui sighed, "The people of Douluo Continent are always fighting or killing; they don't do anything serious!"

"Are you stupid? Come here, let me tell you how to destroy someone's spirit instead of just killing them!"

"Pig's heart?"

……

"Do you understand? Stop thinking about killing all the time! Killing is the worst and most shameful method!"

Qian Renxue shuddered as she looked at Qian Shui. "Little Shui, you're terrifying! This is worse than killing him!"

Qian Shui's method, while not exactly malicious, was even somewhat upright. If Xue Qinghe were not Qian Renxue, it would be an extremely beneficial way to unite the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Chapter 72 All parties are surging

The next day, news of Qian Shui spread throughout Tian Dou City, as did news of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe disciplining his younger brother.

It is said that the Second Prince Xue Luochuan was personally dragged out of the brothel by Xue Qinghe and taken back to the Crown Prince's residence, where he was severely beaten. The Second Prince's screams could be heard for eight streets. Perhaps because he was beaten so badly, the Crown Prince was summoned to the palace early the next morning.

“Father, my second brother is truly lacking in discipline. If he really wants a woman, he should just marry one. How can our royal family maintain its dignity if he continues like this? My teacher said that the Spirit Hall is now very powerful, and even the Clear Sky Sect has been forced to close down. I think that if the royal family members of our empire do not strive for progress, won't we be doomed?”

Xue Qinghe spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, leaving Emperor Xue Ye speechless, after all, he himself wasn't much better when he was young.

"Qinghe, you're right, but wasn't the beating a bit too harsh?" After all, he was his own mentally challenged son, and he still felt sorry for him.

At Qian Shui's suggestion, Xue Qinghe personally whipped his foolish younger brother fifty times, leaving his skin torn and bleeding profusely, but without causing any serious injury.

"Father, you wouldn't want my younger brothers to become like those useless nobles in Tiandou City, would you?" Xue Qinghe bowed. "If you can't bring yourself to be ruthless, Qinghe can discipline them! As the eldest brother, he is like a father. If they want to hate someone, let them hate me alone."

For the emperor, a powerful son is not a good thing. Xue Qinghe has even become Ning Fengzhi's disciple. This situation is both good and bad for Xue Ye.

Xue Qinghe's request was essentially handing him a bargaining chip for checks and balances; how could he refuse?

Before leaving, Xueye still mentioned it briefly, "Is Qianshui staying at your residence?"

"Yes."

"Is there any way?"

"It's impossible to confirm whether there are any titled figures accompanying him in secret. This person's talent is too extraordinary. It's hard for the Spirit Hall not to take countermeasures against him. I'm afraid Salas can't sit still either."

"Alas, my land is vast and rich in resources, yet why can't I produce such a talent! Keep an eye on him, try to win him over for now, and ask your teacher for his opinion on his matter."

"It's Father!"

Even after Xue Qinghe left, Xue Ye's eyes still flashed with cold light. As an emperor, he had climbed to this position from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

"Snow Star!"

"Yes!"

"Wait, go to Seven Treasures City and invite Sect Master Ning!"

"Yes!"

……

The Hall of Elders of Wuhun City houses the seven Grand Elders.

"Jiangmo, go to Tiandou!" Qian Daoliu said to a middle-aged man.

"Yes!"

"Boss, I'll go!" At this moment, a boy with a childlike voice spoke up, "It's been a long time since I've seen Miss and that kid, I miss them terribly."

Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment, "Don't be playful!"

"okay!"

……

The situation was constantly changing, and Qian Shui was unaware of the great turmoil his arrival had stirred up.

"Was it really effective?" Qian Renxue returned to the Crown Prince's residence and discussed the next steps with Qian Shui.

"What are you afraid of? The worst outcome is just gaining a younger brother who hates you. Go on your way!"

"Ok."

Xue Qinghe entered the room where Xue Luochuan was being settled, carrying the medicine for his injuries. He saw that the noble young master, who had been so spirited yesterday, was now lying on the bed, unable to move. His entire back and buttocks were covered in bruises and cuts, with not a single part of them unharmed.

"Do you know you were wrong?" Xue Qinghe reprimanded sternly.

Xue Luochuan's face was deathly pale, and he closed his eyes, completely ignoring him.

While applying medicine to Xue Luochuan by the river, Xue Qinghe said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know. Father has already given me permission to discipline you brothers. If you dare to act like this again, today is just the first time!"

Xue Luochuan finally showed a look of terror, "Big brother, no! I'll never dare to do it again! I'll never dare to do it again!"

At this moment, Xue Qinghe's expression softened, and he patted Xue Luochuan's head, saying, "Disciplining you is for your own good. As your elder brother, I am heartbroken. You and I are from the Tiandou royal family, and our branch was already declining when it passed down to Father."

If we don't strive for progress, how can we live up to the surname 'Xue'?!

"From now on, you mustn't cause any more trouble. My third and fourth brothers will also be living in my household from now on. As long as we brothers work together, we will surely achieve great things!"

"Big brother, I'll listen to whatever you say, please stop hitting me!" Although Douluo was precocious, he also knew the consequences of his actions. He might not understand other things, but he understood that his father had given his older brother authority to discipline him.

"Alright, the medicine is applied. The healing soul master is waiting outside. Don't worry, it won't leave a scar. There's also some food that's ready. Just let me know if you want some. I have to go now."

"Brother..."

"Alright, you'd better watch yourself. If you want a woman, I'll ask my father to grant you a marriage."

……

"solved?"

"Ah."

"how?"

"It's alright, but it's a bit of a hassle. It'll be inconvenient for me if they come to my residence..."

"What are you afraid of? When the time comes, you can marry a crown princess. First, it will solve some hidden dangers, and second, it will be a legitimate way to prevent you from having a place to live."

"Please! Wouldn't that be even more troublesome? How am I supposed to get married in this state? Two women can't have children! What's even harder is choosing a woman who won't discover my identity? Marry someone from the Spirit Hall? That's just too unrealistic!"

"Indeed, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages; let's put it on hold for now."

……

Since their reunion, Qian Shui has been like a wild horse, idling around all day, no longer cultivating, and doing all sorts of strange and unusual things.

Sometimes he flicks his soul power to strike flowers and grass, sometimes he lowers his primordial spirit and martial soul to knead and manipulate them into strange shapes, and sometimes he just sunbathes all day and sleeps soundly, so soft that he's almost boneless.

The servants in the Crown Prince's residence also noticed that since their Crown Prince brought this strange friend back to the residence, he had become more cheerful. What was even more remarkable was that the Crown Prince could also get angry, which was a rare sight indeed.

"Qianshui! Why are you sleeping again?"

"Oh, so what if you're going to sleep? It's no big deal."

Qian Shui was still sleepy. He had long been certain that Qian Renxue wouldn't dare to make a move, lest it ruin everything. He often slept until the sun was setting and didn't even realize he was asleep.

After a long day of work, Qian Renxue returned to the manor and heard that Qian Shui had stayed in his room all day. She knew that the boy must have been lazy again.

"Get up! You must have slept all day again! Get up and eat!" Qian Renxue was tidying up Qian Shui's clothes that she had scattered around the messy room, while also pulling the blanket and calling for Qian Shui to get up and eat.

Skipping one meal won't kill you.

"You haven't eaten all day, it's more than just missing one meal!!"
