Douluo Continent: Protector Qian Renxue, Martial Soul: Dark Demon Dragon

Chapter 30: The Black Dragon Duke, serving as the Protector of the Heavenly Dou Empire!

In the living room, Xue Qinghe sat beside Xue Ye and suggested with a smile, "Father, you see, Senior Lin Xiao possesses the strength of a Super Douluo and is willing to serve our Heaven Dou Royal Family. He is a Super Douluo belonging to our Heaven Dou Royal Family. What do you think, should we bestow upon him a title?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye pondered for a moment, stroking his chin. Lin Xiao was a super Douluo who did not belong to any faction, and their Heaven Dou Empire was determined to obtain him. If they were to grant him a title, they would have to be generous without hesitation!

Otherwise, if the Star Luo Empire found out that their Heaven Dou Empire was still stingy and had snatched Lin Xiao away from them, then their Heaven Dou Empire would truly have nowhere to cry.

They had spent their lives fighting for the Heavenly Battle, but they didn't have their own Title Douluo. Although they had several Soul Douluos, they always felt powerless when facing powerful sects or the Spirit Hall without a Title Douluo.

"A title must be conferred! Lin Xiao is a Super Douluo, one of the people standing at the very top of the Soul Master realm. Our Heaven Dou Empire has never had a Title Douluo of its own!"

As she spoke, Xue Ye looked at Lin Xiao sitting opposite her and said meaningfully, "Lin Xiao, what title do you think our Heavenly Dou Empire should bestow upon you?"

Lin Xiao's expression was cold and indifferent as he calmly said, "Your Majesty may bestow whatever titles you wish. I have no such requests, and this does not prevent me from serving the Heavenly Dou Empire and Your Highness!"

Lin Xiao's demeanor suggested that he had no desires or wants, and that he simply wanted to serve the Heaven Dou Empire and fulfill his promise from back then, nothing more, without any further requests.

Looking at Lin Xiao in this state, Xue Ye pondered to himself, "Although this person looks young, his true age is unknown, and he seems to have no desires or ambitions. How exactly did Qinghe persuade him, and what promises did she make to bring this reclusive super Douluo to the Heaven Dou Empire?!"

His son, Xue Qinghe, never told him about this. Perhaps, after many years, even Qinghe himself believed that this Super Douluo ultimately did not choose to come to the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Qinghe, what title do you think I should bestow upon Lin Xiao?" Xue Ye asked, looking at Xue Qinghe sitting next to her, unsure of what to do.

Xue Qinghe looked at Lin Xiao and then said, "Father, the titles of nobility in our Heavenly Dou Empire, from lowest to highest, are: Baron, Viscount, Earl, Marquis, and Duke. I believe that Senior Lin Xiao is worthy of being granted the title of Duke!"

Among the five noble titles, the Duke holds immense power and owns his own fiefdom, making him a powerful regional governor. He is the true representative of real power in the Heaven Dou Empire. Unlike the other four titles, there are no more than ten Dukes in the Heaven Dou Empire, each holding a high position and great influence.

"Duke, tomorrow I will announce to the world that Lin Xiao is hereby conferred the title of Black Dragon Duke of our Heaven Dou Empire, the tenth duke of the Heaven Dou Empire!" Xue Ye said decisively.

He was naturally very clear about what title should be conferred upon Lin Xiao, this Super Douluo, but it was more appropriate for Xue Qinghe to propose it than for him to do so. After he passed away, when Xue Qinghe became the Emperor of Heaven Dou, Lin Xiao would become Xue Qinghe's most loyal supporter!

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince," Lin Xiao said respectfully to the two.

"I have decided to bestow upon you the title of Duke, Lin Xiao, and also to appoint you as the Protector and Guardian of the Heavenly Dou Empire. Within the Heavenly Dou Empire, apart from myself and Qinghe, no one else can give you orders!" Xue Ye said in a deep voice.

His conferment of titles was the limit; there was nothing more to bestow. The Duke's power was already immense, and with the added title of Protector of the Nation, Lin Xiao could be said to be untouchable and even commanded by anyone except him and Xue Qinghe!

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Lin Xiao will certainly not let down Your Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince!" Lin Xiao said respectfully, but in his heart he was sneering.

It can now be said that the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire is a member of the Spirit Hall. Even the Duke of the Heaven Dou Empire, Lin Xiao, who also serves as the Protector of the Heaven Dou Empire, is a member of the Spirit Hall. The fate of the Heaven Dou Empire may change in a few years.

Finally, Xueye scheduled the ceremony for bestowing the title of Duke and the title of Protector of the Nation for the next morning, and then left the Crown Prince's residence. Lin Xiaoqianrenxue saw Xueye off and returned to the living room.

Qian Renxue sat on the sofa and couldn't help but burst into laughter, her mouth agape: "Hahaha, I never expected this! It's completely unexpected! By some twist of fate, Brother Lin Xiao has directly become a duke of the Heaven Dou Empire, and also serves as the Heaven Dou Empire's Protector-General! Xueye's arrival was perfectly timed!"

Lin Xiao picked up the hot tea on the table and said while drinking it, "Indeed, if Xueye hadn't come, I might only have been able to serve as the commander of your Royal Guard Knights, Xiaoxue. But Xueye arrived without warning, so I no longer need to hide it."

"Exposed directly to the snowy night, I never expected that he would be so generous to me, directly bestowing upon me the title of Duke and making me a protector of the Heavenly Dou Empire."

Lin Xiao couldn't help but marvel; it was truly unpredictable. They never expected things to turn out this way. Of course, the main reason was that Lin Xiao's background was clean, making it almost impossible to find out anything about him.

Moreover, Xueye only conferred the title of Duke and the title of Protector of the State after observing Lin Xiao and confirming that Lin Xiao truly had no desire for the title.

Otherwise, it would only bring harm and no benefit to the Heaven Dou Empire. Lin Xiao also saw this point, which is why he acted as if he had no desires. Of course, he really had no interest in the Heaven Dou Empire's investiture.

"Xiaoxue, do you have time tomorrow? After my investiture ceremony, I plan to take you somewhere," Lin Xiao said, looking at Qian Renxue in front of him.

"Where?" Qian Renxue asked curiously.

"I know you've neglected your cultivation for many years and your soul power level isn't high, but this place can rapidly increase your soul power level without shaking your foundation or having any side effects!" Lin Xiao explained.

"There are places like this?" Qian Renxue didn't quite believe it. Anything that could quickly increase one's soul power level usually had huge side effects, and could even damage one's foundation and exhaust future potential.

"You'll know when you go tomorrow."

"Can you come back that day? Xueye is being very strict with me now, and I have to deal with a lot of documents every day," Qian Renxue said helplessly.

"Of course, it's right here in Sunset Forest. At my speed, returning on the same day is no problem at all," Lin Xiao said with a smile.
