Douluo Continent: You become gods, I become immortals

Chapter 44 My Obedient Daughter, Li Yingxue!

Li Yingxue gave her opponent no chance to react. With a swift movement, she closed in like a cheetah and decisively activated "Berserk Rhythm".

Her seemingly petite body now contained explosive power; every punch and kick was precisely timed to the critical point of the opponent's surging soul power.

"Want to unleash a soul skill? Did you even ask my fist first?!"

The man originally wanted to use his Soul Master cultivation to create distance and unleash his Soul Skill, but he was relentlessly suppressed by Li Yingxue's ever-present physical techniques.

Whenever his soul power surged, Li Yingxue's attacks would come like a tidal wave, cleverly interrupting his soul skill release.

This isn't a battle of spirits; it's practically a one-sided, crushing lesson!

Finally, with a dull thud, the man was sent flying off the stage by Li Yingxue's sharp side kick, crashing heavily outside the fighting platform.

Throughout the match, apart from the initial three seconds of aggressive attack, Li Yingxue dominated the game for almost the entire time.

She played with great gusto, thrilling the audience. Xiao Bai, who had bet everything on Li Yingxue, was ecstatic with his winnings. As for the other gamblers, they were kneeling on the ground, holding their heads in their hands, shedding tears of blissful "bankruptcy."

Immediately afterwards, as if she had tasted fresh blood, Li Yingxue became somewhat addicted to fighting.

At Xiaobai's urging, she fought several battles in a row, turning the Soul Arena upside down.

As they left the arena, Xiao Bai waved her hand with an air of magnanimity: "Let's go! Your sister Bai won big today, so I'll treat you to a lavish meal and a stay at the most luxurious hotel around here!"

After saying that, he grabbed the still-unsatisfied Li Yingxue and headed straight for the most luxurious VIP building in the vicinity.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the gaps in the heavy curtains onto Li Yingxue's face.

Li Yingxue slowly opened her eyes with a splitting headache, feeling dizzy from the hangover.

She looked around in a daze at the unfamiliar ceiling, the clothes scattered in disarray, and the empty wine bottles lying on the floor. Before she could sort out her thoughts, the faint breathing sound beside her made her freeze.

"Who?!"

Almost instinctively, without thinking, Li Yingxue unleashed a fierce whip kick that swept out with a whooshing sound, sending the person next to her flying off the bed!

"Ouch!"

-

With a familiar scream, the man was slammed onto the carpet.

Only then did Li Yingxue see the other person's face clearly—it was Xiaobai!

"It's you?! What are you doing here?!"

Li Yingxue instantly regained her senses, frantically pulling the blanket over herself, her face deathly pale.

Xiao Bai rubbed her aching back, grimacing as she got up, a mocking smile that was incredibly irritating on her face: "Who else could it be but me? My 'good daughter,' you blacked out last night, crying and making a scene."

As she straightened her disheveled clothes, she spoke slowly and deliberately: "I finally managed to drag you into the room, and just as I was about to leave, you clung to me tightly, calling out 'Mother' incoherently."

Xiao Bai leaned closer, deliberately drawing out her words with a mischievous grin: "Remember now? You were calling me so affectionately last night, my darling~ daughter~!"

With Xiaobai's reminder, those fragmented and extremely embarrassing memories suddenly flooded into my mind.

The scene freezes on myself hugging Xiaobai's leg and crying loudly—and it turns out to be exactly the same as what Xiaobai said!

It's all over, completely over.

Li Yingxue buried her head in the blanket in despair, curling up into a ball, wishing she could die on the spot.

This kind of socially awkward situation just happened right in front of Xiaobai, who is most familiar with her!

Seeing his "good daughter" so ashamed and indignant that she even wanted to suffocate herself, Xiaobai couldn't help but burst into laughter.

She skillfully put on her clothes, then considerately picked up the clothes on the ground one by one, and finally picked up a brand new set of clothes and threw it on Li Yingxue's head.

"Stop hiding! Get up and wash up quickly, the sun's already high in the sky, we still need to go have breakfast!"

"I'll be waiting for you outside, my sweet daughter."

"~

After saying that, Xiaobai, fearing a beating, quickly opened the door and ran away.

Just as the door closed, "bang!" A pillow slammed hard against the door!

"Go to hell! You damned fox!"

It wasn't until the afternoon that the two women finally returned to normal and stepped into the Soul Arena again.

As soon as they entered, a nervous-looking staff member came up and blocked their way.

"What do you want to do?"

Xiao Bai instantly went into alert mode, staring sharply at the other party.

"Please don't misunderstand! It's like this, our manager has something important to discuss with us."

The staff were extremely respectful, especially when they looked at Li Yingxue, their eyes filled with awe. Yesterday's sweeping victories had even defeated Soul Sect experts; she was truly a formidable figure.

"Alright, lead the way." Li Yingxue exchanged a glance with Xiaobai, deciding to see what the other party was up to.

"Thank you for your understanding. Please follow me."

Led by the staff, the two passed through the noisy battle arena and went straight to the manager's office.

Inside the Arena Manager's Office.

The Soul Arena manager, who usually held sway in Soto City, actually stood up and bowed deeply the moment Li Yingxue and Xiaobai entered.

"My name is Li Le. I greet Miss Li Yingxue and Butler Xiaobai!"

This greeting, delivered with sincerity and without the slightest perfunctoriness, left Li Yingxue and Xiaobai stunned in place.

"Who are you?" Xiaobai squinted, carefully examining the middle-aged man in front of her. He seemed somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite place him.

Seeing this, Li Le quickly and respectfully explained, "It's normal that Butler Xiaobai can't remember. My position wasn't under your direct jurisdiction back then."

He paused, then continued solemnly, "Reporting to Steward Xiaobai, I was also a former subordinate of the Li family. Not long ago, after the patriarch transferred most of the family's assets to the Spirit Hall, in order to properly settle the old ministers, the patriarch specially dispersed us to various reasonable positions, hidden in the shadows, in preparation for any eventuality."

At this point, Li Le straightened his back, a hint of pride in his eyes: "And I was assigned here to serve as the general manager of this Soul Arena. During this time, I have been secretly monitoring intelligence and the flow of funds in the vicinity for the family."

"I see—" Li Yingxue nodded thoughtfully, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes.

It seems that her father's thoughts are far more profound than she imagined.

These people hiding in the shadows, it seems now, are all indeed key figures.
