Douluo: The Peerless Sun and Moon Mechanical God

Chapter 52 Not a Monster, But an Angel: Orange's Perfect Tonic (4K)

Mingdu, Zhanghua Garden.

The warm afternoon sun shone on the soft bed. Lin Qing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she turned over abruptly. Her silver-gray eyes lazily opened a crack, and what came into view was a pair of stunningly beautiful legs, delicate, even, and flawlessly white.

"Where did this monster come from?"

Upon hearing this, the owner of the stunningly beautiful legs moved closer to the bedside. The blonde girl with bright eyes and white teeth bent down and leaned in, her smile clear and pure. The distance between their two equally beautiful faces was almost zero, and their warm breaths brushed against each other's lips.

"Not a monster, but an angel!"

The golden and silver-gray eyes met, and the holy angel's slightly lowered eyes were full of smiles.

Lin Qing had already mastered the skill of recognizing people by their legs; he was just joking with Ye Guyi.

Lin Qing casually reached under her pillow and touched the paper beneath it. The papery texture proved that her bedtime reading hadn't been exposed, ensuring her public image remained impeccable and aloof. She asked softly, "Did you just return to the academy from the Steel Sea?"

"Yes, we arrived in Mingdu at noon and then heard some shocking news."

Ye Guyi nodded slightly, sat down next to Lin Qing, reached out and lifted the thin blanket, and saw the bandaged, strange-looking body. His golden eyes, which were like a clear spring, rippled instantly. He said, "It's all over the academy. You went to the Jingyang Mountains to test your soul tools and ran into the mountain overlord, the 100,000-year-old Golden Sword Lion King."

Severely injured, Zi Mu escaped the territory of the Jingyang Mountains with only a strong will to survive, and was fortunately picked up by the Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan.

You were struck by the Golden Lion King's golden flying sword. After being bandaged and treated by the academy's healing-department soul masters, you returned home to recuperate. Under your protection, Orange and Keke were almost unharmed. They publicly reported Wang Shaojie's unjust actions.

Wang Shaojie disregarded the bonds of friendship and attempted to kill you all to buy himself time to escape.

This matter alarmed the imperial family, and Emperor Sun Moon issued a strict decree to remove him from the imperial clan. The entire Wang family was implicated, and Dean Hongchen also dismissed Wang Shaojie.

In fact, Wang Shaojie's whereabouts are currently unknown, but neither the Sun Moon Royal Family nor the Academy has sent a rescue team to search for him, leaving him to fend for himself in the Jingyang Mountains.

Mentioning the idea of ​​being left to fend for themselves, Ye Guyi couldn't help but grit her teeth. She actually hoped that Wang Shaojie would crawl back from the Jingyang Mountains and accept the execution of the sacred justice!

"Let's not talk about him anymore." Lin Qing had no interest in the dead. "How did your experiment go? The Steel Sea Dragon Emperor has been cultivating for over 200,000 years. He is cruel and tyrannical. He single-handedly caused turmoil in the waters near Corona City. The danger level of the Steel Sea is even greater than that of the Jingyang Mountains."

"We were lucky; we didn't encounter the Steel Sea Dragon Emperor, and Starry Sky Douluo made a wasted trip." Ye Guyi gently stroked the thick bandage on Lin Qing's right shoulder. "However, the Soul Guidance Device was destroyed by the Sea Soul Beast, so we returned to the academy ahead of schedule. The development of the Concealing Breath Soul Guidance Array is far from perfect."

However—I've broken through to the Soul King realm!

In her intense excitement, Ye Guyi ruffled Lin Qing's smooth, silver-gray hair. The weak and helpless Qingzai couldn't resist the devil's clutches and, with dead fish eyes, silently accused the fallen angel of the shameful act of bullying the sick.

"By the way, have you absorbed your fifth spirit ring?"

"Starry Sky Douluo helped me capture a ten-thousand-year-old sea spirit beast with the attribute of light."

The Douluo Continent encompasses everything, and the Sea Gods are all deities with both light and water attributes. Catching a sea spirit beast with a light attribute in the sea isn't unusual. Lin Qing was concerned about something else: "Has the Holy Angel been exposed?"

"Don't underestimate the wisdom of the Angel Family accumulated over ten thousand years. Without using my soul skills, no one can see through my martial soul disguise."

Ye Guyi looked proud, then took advantage of Qingshang to play with Qingtou, kneading his cheeks which felt incredibly soft, and said hesitantly, "On the way to the experiment, Senior Xingkong subtly asked me several times if I could be taken as his disciple. I would like to ask for your opinion."

"I've already taught you the Starry Sky Divine Needle technique, which is passed down through generations. It's only a matter of time before Starry Sky Douluo proposes to take on disciples. I have no objection; it's all up to you," Lin Qing said.

Lin Qing had no objection to Ye Guyi becoming Ye Yulin's disciple. From the perspective of the Sun Moon Empire, Ye Yulin's actions were beyond reproach.

The cooperation between the Sun Moon Empire and the Evil Soul Masters was a national policy decided by Xu Tianran and the Sun Moon Emperor.

In another timeline of the Mingdu Soul Master Competition, Starry Sky Douluo did not discriminate against Huo Yuhao because of his lower limb disability. Instead, he felt a desire to protect Huo Yuhao. Upon discovering that Huo Yuhao was a genius evil soul master, he even considered using the Sun and Moon Divine Needles to kill him directly.

This shows that Ye Yulin is a strong person with principles. Although her principles may be compromised due to her loyalty to the Sun Moon Empire, she is by no means an irredeemable evil soul master.

Even if Ye Guyi inadvertently exposes the Holy Angel, Ye Yulin will most likely not react negatively. After all, the Sun Moon Empire will eventually part ways with the Holy Spirit Cult, and they need to cultivate a powerful figure to destroy the evil soul masters. The Holy Angel is the perfect candidate.

For the sake of the long term, the Sun Moon Empire should protect Ye Guyi.

Of course, before confirming that the ruler of the Sun Moon Empire is 100% one of his own, Lin Qing would never support Ye Guyi in revealing the Sacred Angel Martial Soul.

The situation in Douluo Continent is developing in an extraordinary way. For example, he thought Wang Shaojie had transformed, but things didn't go as planned. The strange thought process of the black guys is hard to understand.

"I quite like high-altitude soul tools —"

With the Holy Angel and the Sun and Moon Divine Needles, Ye Guyi was even more powerful. She made up her mind to follow the Starry Sky Douluo to learn high-altitude soul tools, so that the light of the Holy Angel could shine in the sky and become an eternal nightmare in the hearts of evil soul masters!

"What would you like to eat for lunch, patient? I'll make it for you."

With a bright future ahead on the path of a Soul Master, Ye Guyi was overjoyed and prepared to cook a big meal to share her joy with Lin Qing.

"Well----"

Lin Qing's eyes darted around. Ye Guyi's return home was earlier than he had expected, which could lead to an extremely awkward situation. He immediately began to brainstorm, thinking about how to break the deadlock.

"Squad leader, we've brought you lunch!"

Murphy's Law may be late, but it has arrived. A cheerful, energetic shout rang out from outside the room as two beautiful young women walked hand in hand into Zhanghua Garden. The girl with snow-white skin held a silver metal card.

Like a doll with poorly maintained joints, Lin Qing stiffly raised his head, his expression frozen as if he were under Medusa's gaze.

Beside the bed, Miss Angel crossed her arms, her bright golden eyes peering intently through the clear, bright window at Orange and Coco. Her upturned lips were sweet and charming, giving off the illusion of a gentle and kind neighborly older sister.

"Yes, I've given them all the specially made, ultimate gold access cards."

Okay, okay, we're not going to act anymore. We're taking the fox home, right?

The temperature in the entire bedroom seemed to drop by 100 degrees Celsius. Miss Angel's flat tone was ten times colder than the ultra-low temperature in the core of the far north. Lin Qing clearly felt a bone-chilling coldness creeping over him.

The holy angel was smiling gently, yet it looked as if she was about to lock someone into an underground chamber at any moment—it was absolutely terrifying!

"They insisted on taking me home, helping me lie down, and saying they would bring me dinner before we parted that night—"

"It's okay. We're classmates, a loving family, and it's only natural for us to help each other." Ye Guyi smiled brightly. "Zhanghua Garden is our shared little home. Even if you invite your friends over and you all sneak off to eat together behind my back, I won't be angry."

You don't need to hide it. Just look in the mirror now and you'll know how terrible you are.

Lin Qing lay flat on the bed with his hands folded in front of his chest, realizing that he didn't have the talent to be a scumbag; even getting a free dinner would expose his deeds.

"Bone Robe, you're back?"

Entering the bedroom with practiced ease, Ju Zi and Ke Ke were taken aback by Ye Guyi's domineering demeanor. They had been preparing meals at home since early morning, completely unaware that the female lead had returned in a flash.

"With you all here, it seems I don't need to take care of him." Ye Guyi angrily rubbed Qingzai's head. "Starry Sky Douluo needs to see me, so please do as you please."

Passing between Ju Ke and the other two, Ye Guyi stormed out of Zhanghua Garden in a huff. In her mind, the angel and the devil were arguing wildly. For a second, the devil had the upper hand and advised her to lock all three of them in the underground secret room!

At the last moment, the angel unleashed holy light to suppress the demon and gently comforted Ye Guyi, reminding her that at least the two of them hadn't moved into Zhanghua Garden, and that there was a vast gap between the three of them!

"Guyi and Senior Xingkong have a special connection. Every time Senior Xingkong gives a practical lesson, he always takes special care of her."

Ju Zi sighed, then took out the huge insulated bucket from her storage soul tool, creaked open the lid, and took out an extremely sumptuous feast.

Braised abalone with pearls: The thousand-year-old white jade abalone is cut into beautiful thin slices and soaked in a golden sauce. The pearls are the eggs of the swift-wind blue pigeon, scattered round and plump among the abalone slices.

The second dish was braised fish maw with ham. The milky white broth was as thick as solidified fat. The yellow croaker maw, soaked in the broth, swelled up into a trembling pouch, and the translucent ham had an enticing aroma.

The shark skin chicken broth soup is an absolute delicacy, made with top-grade sea creatures, the Demon Soul Great White Shark. The lingering aftertaste is enhanced by the rich flavor of the yellow chicken. It is served alongside fresh mushrooms and bok choy, freshly sliced ​​peony lobster, and other dishes that are delicious and visually appealing. This complete and nourishing meal is neatly arranged on the bedside table.

"I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I just made a few dishes," Orange said casually.

"These are all elaborate dishes; you've spent the whole morning just running around the stove."

"A drop of water in need is repaid with a spring of water, and a life-saving grace is beyond repayment. We have a responsibility to take care of your food and daily needs," she said earnestly. "Try it and see if it suits your taste."

With delicate hands, she picked up the small bowl, and Ju Zi selected the best parts of the food. Ke Ke even wanted to transform into a palace maid and feed Emperor Qing, but Lin Qing was injured and had not lost his ability to take care of himself. He firmly refused the tempting offer of a life of ease and instead savored the imperial dishes that the girl had carefully prepared all morning.

AUV, Delicious!

Lin Qing admitted his ignorance, his memory stuck on the simplistic notion that shark skin is a urinary organ and how could it be used for cooking. He could never understand the culinary master, Ju Zi, whose skills never disappointed!

Corporal Orange is too underutilized; he is hereby promoted to Chief of Logistics, Senior Orange!

Noticing that Lin Qing was eating faster, Ju Zi rested her chin on her hand, her graceful figure leaning lightly against the edge of the table. Her beautiful eyes curved like crescent moons, with an unfathomable curve, like a satisfied smile, yet also possessing a tranquil and ethereal quality.

The afternoon sun, warm and bright, streamed through the French windows, falling on Orange's long, black hair. Golden dust motes swirled in the air, and Coco couldn't help but pout at the sight of this serene scene.

Qing, who focuses solely on cooking; Ju, a virtuous wife and loving mother; and the extra her.

Orange watched Lin Qing eat heartily, occasionally serving him food and rice. Because her father was a chef, her life's ambition was to find the world's best chef and satisfy her insatiable appetite.

Looking at Lin Qing, who was enjoying the delicious food he had made, he felt a different kind of emotion.

Instead of searching for a father, become a father yourself.

She can be a chef just like her father, cooking different dishes every day. Lin Qing is like her mother and herself when she was a child, sitting at the table, looking forward to the meal. This kind of life, with three meals a day, seems to be colorful and wonderful.

"Dessert after the meal"

Ju Zi opened a vermilion wooden box. The sugar cake was cut into small squares and studded with osmanthus flowers. Lin Qing picked one up and took a bite. The soft and glutinous lotus root starch and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers filled her mouth.

"This is my first time making lotus root starch and osmanthus sugar cake. What do you think? Give me some suggestions!" Orange couldn't hide her anticipation.

"tasty."

The girl enthusiastically brought snacks to feed him; if you pointed out the shortcomings to his face, it wouldn't just be a spoilsport, it would be a hopeless case, a destiny of never being single.

However, Orange wasn't an ordinary girl. She sighed and said, "If you force yourself to finish a less-than-delicious meal just to appease me, then I'll be stuck in the same place forever. Your bold suggestions are actually helping my cooking skills improve!"

"I put too much osmanthus honey in it, it's a bit too sweet," Lin Qing said honestly.

"Understood, General Qing!"

Corporal Little Orange saluted solemnly and offered a self-criticism: "I added white sugar and osmanthus honey, and I probably didn't control the sweetness well. I will definitely learn from this lesson and make another one tomorrow. Please check it out, General!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's not hard work."

After cleaning up the dishes, Orange and Keke stood on either side of Lin Qing, rubbing their hands together eagerly, and said, "The therapy teacher said that you need to change your dressing every day for the first three days. Since Gu Yi is busy with her studies, we'll have to do it for her."

"—Okay, thank you."

The joy here is so great that one forgets the angels!

The mansion of the three princes.

The Wang Shaojie affair has far-reaching implications, prompting the Third Prince Xu Tianzhou to urgently convene a secret meeting with all his staff to discuss the power struggle for the throne.

On the main seat in the hall, Xu Tianzhou's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He had the typical appearance of the Sun and Moon royal family, with skin as black as ink, curly hair and thick lips that made him look almost exactly like the current Sun and Moon Emperor.

The Emperor, Sun and Moon, has been bedridden for a long time, and the competition for the crown prince position has become fierce.

It is widely believed that if the Emperor of the Sun and Moon were to depose Xu Tianran and install a new crown prince due to concerns about the eldest son's disability, the third son, Xu Tianzhou, would be the most likely candidate. Therefore, Xu Tianzhou had the second-highest number of supporters in the imperial court, after Xu Tianran.

"Everyone," Xu Tianzhou said coldly, "Wang Shaojie is nothing to mention, a good-for-nothing who doesn't know his place. His life or death is of no consequence, yet Father Emperor has taken notice of this trivial matter."

There are many unsettling things behind this, and perhaps a powerful figure is secretly involved. If we handle this well, we can replace our eldest brother and ascend to the throne. If we are not careful, my second brother will be my example.
