Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

According to the Zhu family's rules, even the parents would not cultivate any relationship with the final winner until the winner was decided.

At this moment, Chen Yao is the only man in her life with whom she has ever been so physically intimate!

Even his father was someone who had never had one before!

However, no matter how much Zhu Zhuqing resisted and struggled, it was all in vain under Chen Yao's iron-like hands. In fact, her twisting movements seemed to be flirting, which aroused Chen Yao's interest, and he couldn't help but laugh loudly.

But Zhu Zhuqing was not the only one filled with shame and indignation at Chen Yao's dissolute behavior. Even Gu Yuena and Qian Renxue, who were standing to the side, had sharp eyes and frosty expressions.

However, Chen Yao didn't need to worry about Qian Renxue, who was just a captured maid. As for Gu Yuena, Chen Yao had spent the last few days trying to persuade her to accept his extremely unpleasant personality.

Speaking of which, Gu Yuena's million-year lifespan is a complicated story, and she was much easier to fool than Tang Yuehua.

Even though she was powerful enough to sweep away the current enemy, she was filled with jealousy and anger. However, she still remembered what Chen Yao had said. Seeing him flirting with other women and defiling the sacred and pure teacher-student relationship in her eyes, she remained silent and quietly picked at the food in front of her, which looked like a delicacy but tasted like wax.

After enjoying himself to the fullest under the murderous gazes of Gu Yuena and Qian Renxue, Chen Yao finally released the humiliated and indignant Zhu Zhuqing.

Unable to bear the humiliation, Zhu Zhuqing stormed out without even saying goodbye, slamming the door behind her.

But Chen Yao didn't care. He was never one to suffer losses. He had taught Zhu Zhuqing some practical skills today, and he had gained some real benefits. Even if Zhu Zhuqing didn't come back, he wouldn't lose anything.

Even though Zhu Zhuqing later angrily told the Zhu family about it, Chen Yao was unable to use his soul power and soul rings to take action, but Gu Yuena had never revealed herself in front of the Spirit Hall.

If the Zhu family came knocking, Gu Yuena would naturally teach them what reason is. And she was certain that after being humiliated, the Zhu family wouldn't dare to seek help from the royal family, because compared to the royal family and the Dai family, the Zhu family was always at a disadvantage. If the royal family found out that the Zhu family's daughter, who was about to compete for the throne, had been treated lightly by them, they would never let it go.

Even if an accident were to occur, and the Zhu family reported to the royal family, Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, would not be afraid of the Star Luo Empire's fewer than two Title Douluos, or the Star Luo Emperor whose strength was only barely at level 95.

Moreover, these are all the worst-case scenarios. Given Zhu Zhuqing's stubborn nature, he doesn't believe that after witnessing his abilities, she would give up and accept her fate because of this little grievance.

Therefore, Chen Yao had Zhu Zhuqing completely under his control from beginning to end, and there was no way he could cause any trouble.

Chapter 180, Unwilling to Give Up, Returning to the Door

After returning to the Zhu family, Zhu Zhuqing was filled with shame and indignation, and was constantly tormented and burned by the resentment in her heart.

I was restless in my dorm room, pacing back and forth.

For a moment, she even had an impulse to tell the Zhu family what had happened today, and to have them send people to destroy that courtyard and kill that disgusting old man, Chen Yao.

But as her anger surged, she paused again just as she lifted her leg.

He suddenly felt as if all his energy had been drained away, and he slumped softly onto the bed, his face pale and his eyes lifeless.

After she informs the Zhu family, perhaps the Zhu family, for the sake of their reputation, will actually seek revenge for her and let her vent her anger.

But what happens after that?

The Zhu family would never understand her grievances.

This incident will cause the Zhu family to treat her even more indifferently. In fact, the royal family may even think that she has been defiled and is no longer worthy of the prince, and kick her out of the game ahead of time.

The power struggle between these two families, which has been passed down since ancient times, is not something that can be easily withdrawn from.

If it were really that easy, how could she have endured so much pressure for so long?

Therefore, if this matter is exposed, Zhu Zhuqing will be regarded as a stain by both families, and may even be dealt with in advance.

At her age, facing such an outcome is nothing short of despair and unacceptable!

The thought of this possibility immediately dissipated most of Zhu Zhuqing's anger. She felt a chill run through her body, causing her to hug her legs and curl up on the bed. Her face twitched, and her eyes were glistening, as if they were about to burst open at any moment, filled with a desolate, helpless, and broken feeling.

But in the end, she managed to control her emotions and not let herself burst into tears. Ever since she was three years old, she had known that crying wouldn't solve anything in the Zhu family. No one would comfort her; she would only be met with endless ridicule.

At the same time, she did not complain about her situation, because she understood that no one but herself could truly understand her, and that overthinking would only waste time and push her further into the abyss.

Zhu Zhuqing wiped away the tears welling up in her eyes, huddled in the corner of the bed, and stared at the ceiling.

Since she couldn't get the Zhu family to avenge her, she was left with only one other option.

That meant forcing myself to forget what had happened in the past two days, to act as if Chen Yao had never existed, and to continue my previous cultivation, steadily improving my strength according to the rules.

But the road ahead was already visible. She had once thought that hard work could close all the gaps, but it was precisely because she worked harder that she could see the gap more clearly and felt more and more desperate.

If it weren't for that stubbornness and unwillingness in her heart, she really wanted to be like her fiancé, whom she had never met, living a life of debauchery and self-destruction, so that she could at least enjoy these few more years of prosperity.

But her personality dictated that she couldn't accept her fate with a clear conscience.

Now, Chen Yao has given her a glimmer of hope. The guidance she received in just one afternoon has greatly benefited her, and her understanding of martial spirits has improved noticeably.

This opportunity, which she had longed for and which she had hoped would change her destiny, was now right in front of her. Could she really just ignore it and let it slip away?

Furthermore, Chen Yao has already taken advantage of her quite a bit, and the matter is now settled, irreversible, and there is no way to retaliate. Should she just accept it?

For a moment, Zhu Zhuqing's mind was in turmoil. She frowned slightly, turned her head to look to the side, and looked through the window towards Chen Yao's residence. Her eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment.

The next day, Chen Yao got out of bed and looked at Gu Yuena, who was sleeping soundly with a peaceful expression and a smile on her lips. Chen Yao felt relieved.

Yesterday, his behavior was a bit excessive. He touched Zhu Zhuqing inappropriately in front of Gu Yuena. Although he didn't say anything, he was very angry after returning to his room.

Fortunately, Chen Yao employed a three-pronged approach: the Black Beard Martial Soul flanked him from both above and below, while the Supreme Bone unleashed its divine power, causing Gu Yuena to wail incessantly and roar like a dragon.

Finally, he unleashed his unparalleled skills, combining the three into one, advancing simultaneously, leaving Gu Yuena terrified, her soul nearly leaving her body, almost succumbing to the dragon's embrace. Only after achieving his goal was he able to completely soothe her, and she fell into a deep sleep, her heart, body, and mind all satisfied.

With two clicks of his tongue, Chen Yao dressed himself and went downstairs, only to bump into Qian Renxue, who had dark circles under her eyes.

Yesterday, Chen Yao's unbridled actions towards Zhu Zhuqing infuriated Qian Renxue. After returning to her room in a huff, she heard the endless battle between the two men upstairs. The commotion and the wide range of impact were like a primordial catastrophe, leaving people horrified and deeply shocked.

It would be strange if Qian Renxue could sleep.

Sensing Qian Renxue's resentful yet slightly aggrieved expression, Chen Yao couldn't help but chuckle. He still clearly remembered how unruly Qian Renxue had been in front of him back in the Spirit Hall.

But without a doubt, Chen Yao preferred Qian Renxue's expression at this moment.

With a grin, Chen Yao stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Qian Renxue's slender waist, his hand roaming freely over her rounded back.

Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks flushed red and her whole body felt hot. Then she heard Chen Yao's voice in her ear.

"Xue'er, you say you hate Bibi Dong, but aren't all your actions influenced by her?"

When Qian Renxue heard Chen Yao compare her to that old woman, she instinctively wanted to refute him, but then she suddenly froze.

Because Chen Yao's words were true, upon looking back, she was also shocked to discover that everything she had done to Chen Yao was actually a subconscious imitation of how Bibi Dong treated Chen Yao!

"It seems you've realized it too."

Although unwilling to admit it, Qian Renxue nodded.

"Then I'll tell you today that I hate Bibi Dong's actions. That's why I gave up such good conditions at the Spirit Hall and chose to escape. During the four years I was at the Spirit Hall, I harbored a lot of resentment towards Bibi Dong. We may be irreconcilable enemies for life. Do you want to have a relationship like mine with her?"

Chen Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, still smiling, but his words sent chills down Qian Renxue's spine and made her face turn pale.

She looked terrified, shook her head repeatedly, and dared not speak. She just gripped Chen Yao's clothes tightly with both hands, her eyes filled with a pleading look.

Seeing this, Chen Yao smiled and stopped trying to scare Qian Renxue. Instead, he gently stroked her soft hair and spoke again.

"Actually, my previous resistance to you was not because I disliked you. Our martial souls are compatible, and we are like a match made in heaven. You are also stunningly beautiful, and there are few women in the world who can compare to you. At least, among the women I have seen so far, apart from Bibi Dong and Gu Yuena, no one can match you."

Given these circumstances, coupled with the fact that your feelings for me are palpable, and my inherently promiscuous nature, I should cherish your love above all else. But why have I treated you this way? Do you know why?

Hearing Chen Yao's words of praise for her, which were unprecedented, Qian Renxue was overjoyed, but then she was startled. Her expression changed slightly, and she asked cautiously.

"Is it because of Bibi Dong?"

"Indeed, with such perfect qualities, you bear the shadow of Bibi Dong in every gesture. If you have no interest in me, that's fine, but if you can learn her domineering nature, you will naturally be as powerful as her, dominating the continent."

-

But you insist on having feelings for me. Leaving aside whether it's worth it or not, the way you're copying her, if used on me, will only increase my disgust.

Upon hearing Chen Yao's words, Qian Renxue was struck dumb, suddenly realizing the truth. Subconsciously, she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, her dissatisfaction with Bibi Dong growing even stronger.

That damned old woman, relying on her little bit of strength, acted recklessly and didn't care about other people's feelings at all. She almost led her astray.

If Chen Yao hadn't reminded her today, and she had continued to do as she always had, she probably would have drifted further and further away from Chen Yao, and then she would have had nowhere to cry!

She cursed inwardly, but reacted quickly, grabbing Chen Yao's hand immediately.

"Xue'er didn't want this either, Brother Chen Yao, please teach me what to do?"

As she spoke, a flash of light appeared on Qian Renxue's body, removing her disguise and transforming her back into her exquisite and charming appearance. She had not forgotten Chen Yao's high praise for her appearance just now.

Then she put on a wronged look, tears streaming down her face.

Upon seeing Qian Renxue's posture, Chen Yao felt a surge of emotion. His Supreme Bone, which had finally had a moment of rest, stirred again.

He remained expressionless, his hands silently beginning to roam over Qian Renxue's body, and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke.

"Xue'er, you are fine as you are now. Actually, I like you very much from the bottom of my heart. Seeing you like this, with your strength sealed, it breaks my heart. This is undoubtedly a waste of your potential, but in order to avoid being discovered by the Spirit Hall, I have no choice but to do this. Xue'er, do you understand my good intentions?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was also moved.

"Brother Chen Yao, it's all my fault for making you worry. I don't care about the soul power seal. I just want to stay by your side. I will never go to the Spirit Hall to inform them. That old woman will never be able to find you!"

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Chen Yao's expression shifted slightly. While he hadn't entirely spoken carelessly, he was genuinely concerned about Qian Renxue's talent.

After all, Qian Renxue possesses an innate soul power level of 20, which is unparalleled throughout the ages. In addition, she is compatible with his own soul power and is devoted to him. If she could change her personality, she would definitely be a powerful ally for Chen Yao.

Chen Yao felt a little regretful that he had sealed her soul power, preventing her from making any progress.

Hearing Qian Renxue's attitude now, I feel that it's perfectly acceptable to break the seal on him and cultivate together.

However, we need to give Qian Renxue some sweetness in order to make her more devoted.

Thinking about it, Chen Yao realized that this was the way.

"Xue'er, I want you to stay by my side because of my own selfish desires, but I can't bear to see you waste your talent. Can you stay here with me until I reach the Title Douluo level and am no longer afraid of Bibi Dong? Then I will take you back to the Spirit Hall to assert my dominance."

Upon hearing Chen Yao's words, Qian Renxue's face lit up with joy. She didn't care about anything else and nodded emphatically.

"I am willing!"

Chen Yao grinned, and then a mass of darkness surged up from beneath him, with several black tentacles emerging and beginning to coil around Qian Renxue's graceful body.

Amidst Qian Renxue's flushed face, Chen Yao spoke with an wicked smile.

"Xue'er is such a good girl, but Gu Yuena hasn't woken up yet, so we can't break the seal for you. How about we take you there first?"

Chen Yao's voice trailed off, and Qian Renxue's face grew increasingly red, her body burning hot, but her eyes were full of anticipation as she nodded.

Chen Yao's smile was deep, and he had long anticipated Qian Renxue's attitude, after all, Qian Renxue had been longing for this for a long time.

In addition, Qian Renxue is not young anymore, and has long passed the marriageable age in Douluo Continent. He is too lazy to be coy and plans to win her over in one fell swoop, so that Qian Renxue can be completely at ease and stay here with peace of mind.

Thinking this, Chen Yao gathered his soul power at the Supreme Bone, put his arm around Qian Renxue's soft, boneless waist, and led her to the room.
