Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul is actually Bibi Dong.

Chapter 200 Accepting Xue Ke and Ye Lingling

After Ning Rongrong agreed, Su Mo naturally did not refuse Ning Fengzhi's suggestion.

So the next day, Su Mo and the others didn't slowly follow the army back to the Heavenly Dou Imperial Capital. Instead, they returned directly to the Heavenly Dou Imperial Capital via Su Mo's teleportation.

Ning Fengzhi took the initiative to persuade Xue Ke and other high-ranking officials of the empire, while Su Mo waited to reap the benefits and temporarily returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to cultivate.

The unexpected encounter with Qian Renxue, along with the different content of the eighth trial of the Nine Trials of the Sea God compared to Tang San in the original story, made Su Mo truly begin to take his own strength seriously.

He sensed that he would need sufficient strength to complete the mission.

Otherwise, the eighth trial of the Sea God would not be so easy for him to complete, and he might not even be able to complete it.

"What? My brother's in trouble?"

"How is this possible..."

While Su Mo was diligently cultivating, Ning Fengzhi had already found Princess Xue Ke and told her about Xue Qinghe's accident.

Upon hearing the news, Xue Ke was naturally not confident. Only after confirming with Ning Fengzhi several times did Xue Ke break down in tears.

"Princess, now is not the time for you to be sad!"

"A country cannot be without a ruler for a single day. Now that Qinghe is in trouble, you are the only one left in the entire Tiandou royal family!"

You need to pull yourself together!

Seeing Xue Ke's sadness, Ning Fengzhi quickly comforted her.

"Then... what should I do?"

Xue Ke looked at Ning Fengzhi with teary eyes, her gaze filled with sadness and helplessness.

Xue Ke had absolutely no idea what to do about the Heaven Dou Empire.

"The most important thing now is to stabilize the Heaven Dou Empire," Ning Fengzhi said in a heavy tone.

"But... but what should I do?" Xue Ke looked at Ning Fengzhi helplessly; she really didn't know what to do.

She had absolutely no idea how to stabilize the empire.

She knew absolutely nothing about national affairs.

"If you were to become the ruler of this empire, Princess, do you think you are capable of the job?" Ning Fengzhi asked Xue Ke slowly.

"I...I can't do it, I can't do it..."

Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Xue Ke was stunned. She felt no joy, only fear.

Born into an imperial family, Xue Ke possessed some political acumen, so she knew very well that she simply couldn't do it with her abilities.

She had no political investments, was a girl, and had no support behind her except for her identity.

Adding to the fact that the Blood Collapse Prince actually killed Emperor Xueye for the sake of the throne, she felt extremely disgusted and afraid of power, so she had no desire to become the master of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered slightly when he saw Xue Ke's appearance.

Just as he expected, it seems that persuading Xue Ke shouldn't be too difficult.

"Sect Leader Ning, I don't want that position. Is there any other way?"

Xue Ke looked at Ning Fengzhi and asked him a question.

Xue Ke's bright, clear eyes seemed to reveal her true helplessness and ignorance, yet also seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

Looking into Princess Xueke's eyes, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, as if she had seen through him. However, Ning Fengzhi thought he was probably overthinking it.

"Princess Xueke, do you know Su Mo?"

"His Majesty Qinghe and Su Mo were very good friends before. Every time His Majesty Qinghe visited our sect, he would have a long chat with Su Mo!"

"Because they share a common ideal: to end this chaotic world, unify the entire continent, and bring lasting peace and stability to the world!"

"Su Mo originally intended to help Qinghe achieve this ideal, but now it seems that he can only fulfill their shared ideal for Qinghe!"

"Princess Xueke, are you willing to marry Su Mo?"

"Only if you marry Su Mo can Su Mo fulfill their shared dream for your brother!"

Following the original plan, Ning Fengzhi told Xue Ke his thoughts.

"Marry...marry Su Mo?"

Xue Ke, who had been listening attentively to Ning Fengzhi's words, blushed immediately after hearing what Ning Fengzhi said next.

She hadn't expected that Ning Fengzhi had come to see her about this matter.

"Yes, Princess Xueke, what do you think?"

Ning Fengzhi nodded and continued to ask.

"You don't have to reply to me now. Think it over carefully first..."

Ning Fengzhi didn't expect Xue Ke to agree immediately; he wanted her to think it over carefully.

"Sect Leader Ning, I'm willing!"

Before Ning Fengzhi could finish speaking, Xue Ke boldly looked at him and readily agreed.

Seeing Xue Ke's eyes, which were filled with a shy yet excited expression, Ning Fengzhi immediately understood what was going on.

So Princess Xueke is also one of Su Mo's admirers!

As early as after Su Mo won the championship in his first Soul Master Competition, he became an idol of young people and an object of admiration for young girls.

In addition, Su Mo's performance in his second Soul Master Competition made him even more admired by girls.

So when Ning Fengzhi learned that Xue Ke was also an admirer of Su Mo, he was a little surprised, but not at all.

"Okay, then leave the rest to me!"

Ning Fengzhi smiled with satisfaction.

……

A few days later, the high-ranking officials of the empire who had accompanied Qian Renxue on the expedition also returned.

However, after they returned, they learned that Princess Xueke was about to marry Su Mo, and that after marrying Su Mo, Princess Xueke would humbly hand over the imperial power to Su Mo on behalf of the Tian Dou royal family.

Furthermore, those high-ranking officials who remained in the empire had already approved of this matter.

They immediately realized that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was behind this whole affair.

At first, everyone was somewhat angry, but in the end, they mostly chose to accept it.

After all, once Xue Ke married Su Mo, Su Mo was considered a member of the royal family.

Moreover, they were well aware of Su Mo's excellence, and it was a good thing for the Heavenly Dou Empire to have such an outstanding leader.

Besides, unless forced into a corner with no other choice, no one would willingly pledge allegiance to a woman!

Su Mo's rise to power was indeed a good choice for them.

Su Mo has the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School behind him, which can quickly stabilize the situation after he takes power, preventing the Heaven Dou Empire from experiencing too much turmoil due to the unexpected death of Emperor Qinghe.

Two days after their return, Princess Xueke successfully married Su Mo after a grand wedding.

All the high-ranking officials of the empire attended the wedding, and Xueke officially announced the transfer of imperial power at the ceremony.

After marrying Xue Ke, Su Mo made Xue Ke experience the taste of love that very night.

Xue Ke also allowed Su Mo to experience the sense of accomplishment of conquering a princess.

Which man hasn't fantasized about conquering a princess?

After successfully taking control of the Heaven Dou Empire, Su Mo did not launch any further attacks on the Star Luo Empire for the time being.

Su Mo also entrusted the management of the empire to Ning Fengzhi.

For Su Mo, the most important thing is still to cultivate and improve himself. Becoming the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire is just a transition for him.

What he truly wanted to pursue was to become a god.

Not long after, Su Mo conferred the title of Imperial Concubine upon Ning Rongrong.

Ye Lingling was also conferred the title at the same time!

"Lingling, I want you to become my imperial concubine. Will you?"

Before that, Su Mo naturally approached Ye Lingling alone to ask for her opinion in person.

Although Ning Rongrong said that Ye Lingling liked him, and Su Mo had sensed it to some extent, Su Mo still wanted to ask her directly.

"I...I'm willing!"

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Ye Lingling immediately agreed excitedly.

She had always liked Su Mo, but she hadn't shown it before because of Ning Rongrong.

Now that Su Mo has become emperor and married Princess Xue Ke, she naturally won't hide her feelings anymore.

Upon seeing Ye Lingling agree, Su Mo immediately stepped forward and embraced her.

"I...I've actually liked you for a long time!"

Ye Lingling hugged Su Mo tightly, directly expressing her feelings for him.

"Yes, I know!"

Su Mo hummed in agreement, then lowered his head and kissed Ye Lingling.

"Ugh—"

After a heated debate, Su Mo carried Ye Lingling back to her room and gave her a thorough makeover.

So after taking Princess Xueke as his concubine, Su Mo also took Ye Lingling, the woman who had always secretly liked him, as his imperial consort!

……

Shrek Academy.

After the last Soul Master Competition, Oscar and Ma Hongjun chose to graduate.

However, after graduation, they did not choose to leave Shrek Academy, but instead chose to stay and become teachers.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun are now teachers at Shrek Academy.

"Of the original Shrek Team, only the two of us are still here!"

That evening, Ma Hongjun and Oscar were drinking together.

"Tang San is dead, and I never expected Boss Dai to be dead too!"

"And the dean and the others have been missing for so long, we don't know how they are!"

Ma Hongjun said sadly.

Speaking of Dean Flander, Ma Hongjun was very worried. He was Flander's personal disciple and had a deep affection for him.

After Flanders went missing, he also searched for him, but without any clues, he had no choice but to give up in the end.

"The Dean and the others are the Golden Iron Triangle, their strength is comparable to a Title Douluo, they'll definitely be fine!"

"They must have gone somewhere!"

Upon hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Oscar quickly replied.

Although he knew that such words were somewhat self-deceptive, it was still better than having no hope at all.

"Forget it, let's not talk about those unpleasant things!"

Ma Hongjun smiled and stopped talking about Flanders and the others.

"I never imagined that Su Mo would actually become the emperor of Heaven Dou!"

As the two drank, they couldn't help but talk about Su Mo again.

They were filled with emotion and envy at Su Mo's current status as the emperor of Tian Dou.

"Yes, of the people from the Shrek Academy team back then, Su Mo is the most successful now; he's even become the Emperor of Heaven Dou!"

Oscar also remarked in amazement.

There was inevitably some envy and jealousy in his tone.

"I heard Su Mo is already a Soul Douluo. I wonder how he cultivated himself; it's insane!"

"Compared to us, he's the real monster!"

When Ma Hongjun talked about Su Mo, he was very envious. However, he was not jealous of Su Mo at all, and even admired her a little.

He truly admired Su Mo. When Su Mo first entered Shrek Academy, he was the one with the lowest cultivation level in their Shrek team.

Now, however, they have completely forgotten about everyone else.

"Indeed, that guy is a monster!"

Oscar agreed with Ma Hongjun's words, and then said in a complicated tone, "If Tang San hadn't been killed by Su Mo, I would have gone to join Su Mo, but just thinking about how Tang San died at his hands makes me not want to go..."

Su Mo rose to prominence, and Oscar, as his former companion, naturally considered going to join Su Mo's cause.

"Tang San..."

"What happened back then can't be entirely blamed on Su Mo; it was Tang San's father who chased after Su Mo first!"

Upon hearing Oscar's words, Ma Hongjun offered an explanation on Su Mo's behalf.

They were present at the time, so they all heard the conversation between Su Mojian Douluo and Tang Hao, and knew that Tang Hao was in the wrong first.

"But no matter what, Tang San was his former comrade. How could he do that!"

"Besides, it was Tang San's father, not Tang San himself, who was chasing Su Mo. If Su Mo wanted revenge, he should have gone to Tang Hao!"

Oscar, however, still cared a lot.

After hearing Oscar's words, Ma Hongjun glanced at Oscar and then said nothing more.

He disagreed with Oscar; Flanders had taught him that revenge was the only way to get revenge.

Tang San's father is so powerful, he's a Title Douluo, and he's even capable of killing the former Pope of the Spirit Hall. Su Mo would only go after Tang Hao if he wanted to die.

Therefore, it is understandable that Su Mo would choose to take revenge on Tang Hao's son since he could not get revenge on Tang Hao.

Tang Hao bullied the weak, attacking Su Mo despite being a Title Douluo.

Therefore, no matter how Su Mo retaliates, it won't be excessive.

What still shocks him is that Su Mo was able to escape from Tang Hao's pursuit.

He guessed that Tang Hao might not have been able to kill Su Mo because no one could use their spirit rings or spirit skills in the City of Slaughter.

It can only be said that Tang Hao was too foolish to choose to make a move in a place like the City of Slaughter.

"Yes, yes, you're right!"

"But you can say such things to me, don't go around saying them outside!"

"Su Mo is now the Emperor of Tian Dou. It's extremely dangerous for you to speak ill of him!"

Ma Hongjun then nodded perfunctorily in agreement with Oscar's words and began to persuade Oscar.

"Yes, I know. I definitely won't say anything when I get out!"

Oscar was startled by Ma Hongjun's warning and immediately sobered up a bit.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun did not choose to go and seek refuge with Su Mo.

However, some people from Shrek Academy went to seek refuge with Su Mo.
