Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 174—This woman actually…

"That sounds interesting." Zhongli Wu pondered for a moment, then finally nodded in approval of Qian Lingyun's suggestion. "It will take some time to notify all the elders and patrons to return for the meeting. We will vote on your suggestion at the meeting three days from now, on the evening of the third day."

"Understood, I'll persuade them." Qian Lingyun stood up, retrieved her report, and teased, "I've already found the Blue Silver Saintess and the Fire Phoenix Saintess for you. There has to be one, two, or three among the three saintesses! Don't expect me to be the youngest!"

Zhongli Wu listened with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, and explained with considerable surprise, "You don't need to worry about that. Your position as the Holy Maiden Chief and the next leader of the sect is not something those two can shake."

"Okay, goodbye."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Qian Lingyun walked out of the room in a generous manner, leaving Zhong Liwu alone sitting in the room, lost in thought.

He felt that something was not right, but he just couldn't put his finger on it.

……

"Master, you're back!"

As soon as they returned to the room, Zhang Lexuan stood up from the small stool next to the sofa with a solicitous expression and took off Qian Lingyun's coat.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Qian Lingyun took off her belt and placed it in Zhang Lexuan's hand. She casually lay down on the sofa and quietly stared at the ceiling, seemingly lost in thought.

"Owner…"

"explain."

"Are the Soul Masters here...?" Zhang Lexuan asked in a voice almost imperceptible to the naked ear, while cutting fruit with a fruit knife with her head down. "Are they... not normal Soul Masters?"

"Yes, the Soul Masters here are basically what you call Evil Soul Masters!" Qian Lingyun turned to the side, draped Nao Da over her arm, and teased, "What, scared?"

"No, I just noticed they seemed to be very respectful to their master, so I was just asking."

"I see."

After a long pause, Qian Lingyun finally spoke up: "Le Xuan! I have something to ask you."

"Please speak, Master. Le Xuan will answer all your questions without reservation."

Zhang Lexuan put down what she was doing, held the fruit plate, and stood respectfully to the side, gazing at Qian Lingyun with tender affection.

"Please sit down first. I just wanted to ask if Shrek Academy has a lot of prejudice against soul tools," Qian Lingyun asked.

"Hmm..." Zhang Lexuan thought for a moment, then sat down next to Qian Lingyun's legs. While thinking, she used her fingers to massage Qian Lingyun's calves.

"Hmm... Hiss... How come you can massage? Are you that virtuous?" Qian Lingyun looked down and saw Zhang Lexuan pressing her slender calves repeatedly with her slender fingers as if playing a musical piece. The inexplicable soreness made her groan softly.

"Master, you flatter me. I know a lot of things." Zhang Lexuan smiled slightly, and increased the force of her hands. The pleasure of her meridians being massaged made Qian Lingyun's eyes narrow slightly, her face flushed, and she hummed a few times from time to time.

Seeing Qian Lingyun's expression of enjoyment, Zhang Lexuan paused briefly in her movements and said, "Master, you seem to be sleeping poorly lately. Shall I help you relax your neck and shoulders?"

"Okay," Qian Lingyun said, enjoying the leg massage while eating the fruit from the plate.

After about fifteen minutes, at Zhang Lexuan's request, Qian Lingyun comfortably took off her long dress, leaving only a thin undergarment draped over her body, and plopped down on the bed.

"Le Xuan! You haven't answered my question from before!" Qian Lingyun said, resting her chin on the pillow.

"Master, you also spent some time at Shrek Academy. The Soul Guidance Department usually only recruits students left over from the Martial Soul Department. This already shows the problem," Zhang Lexuan said, her nimble fingers moving back and forth across Qian Lingyun's back joints. Under the warm massage of her hands, Qian Lingyun thought to herself, "Indeed, bringing Zhang Lexuan back was an incredibly wise decision. Putting aside her cultivation and talent, her massage skills alone are comparable to two or three Tang Yas."

Once we've thoroughly researched the method for the second awakening of the Body Sect, we'll find a way to give Zhang Lexuan's martial soul a second awakening.

"Wait, the Body Sect!"

Qian Lingyun's eyes, which had been slightly closed, suddenly opened. She put her arm around Zhang Lexuan's shapely, long legs and said in a low voice, "Let's call it a day! I have something to take care of."

"Yes."

Zhang Lexuan hesitated for a moment, then quickly stepped aside, watching Qian Lingyun meticulously put on her clothes and walk straight towards the door. Before leaving, Qian Lingyun turned back and said, "Don't neglect your cultivation. If others think you're easy to bully and cause you trouble, just fight them. If they kill you, it's on me."

"Yes, Master," Zhang Lexuan replied softly, and sat cross-legged in front of Qian Lingyun to begin her cultivation.

Outside the door, Qian Lingyun raised her hand and summoned a Holy Spirit disciple. After asking about Feng Ling's current location, she knocked on the dungeon door and found Feng Ling, who had just finished devouring a soul.

"Vice Sect Leader, where is that Title Douluo from the Body Sect we captured last time?" Qian Lingyun asked, standing at the dungeon entrance, fiddling with the bell on the door with one hand and gripping the iron gate with the other.

"Oh! It's the Holy Maiden!" Feng Ling raised her narrow eyes and glanced at Qian Lingyun, her lips twitching slightly. She waved away the nearby guards and turned to say, "Come with me."

In the gloomy, low tunnel, even breathing felt oppressive. The two walked one after the other on the stone path, neither of them taking the initiative to start a conversation.

Finally, Feng Ling stopped and asked, "Holy Maiden, is there any possibility of further advancement in your Divine Revelation Technique?"

"Yes," Qian Lingyun looked up at Feng Ling, pondered for a moment, and said, "After I reach level 99, I will take the lead in forcibly drawing divine essence into your body. If you can withstand it, your strength will naturally increase significantly."

"By the time you reach level 99..." Feng Ling's lips twitched, and she shook her head in disappointment, "I'm afraid that's still a long way off!"

"Alright, alright, this road is already narrow, and you're blocking it again. Just because you have a good figure doesn't mean you can be so great!" Qian Lingyun impatiently raised her hand and slapped Feng Ling across the face...

"Hiss!" Feng Ling hissed softly, waving her sleeve to cover her lower back, and turned around to glare fiercely at Qian Lingyun.

Her grey-blue eyes practically spit fire as she gritted her teeth and said in a chilling voice, "Have we elders been too lenient with you, Holy Maiden? Have you become so disrespectful?!"

"Feels pretty good!" Qian Lingyun leaned against the stone wall nonchalantly, with a smug look that said, "If you're not happy, you can hit me." Her cheeky appearance made Feng Ling angrier and angrier. She punched the stone wall next to Qian Lingyun's face, and a bunch of pebbles fell down with a rustling sound.

But is Feng Ling truly helpless against Qian Lingyun? Of course not, she also holds one of Qian Lingyun's lifelines in her hands—her allowance.

"Holy Maiden, I forgot to tell you that I am in charge of distributing the church's property. Considering your repeated acts of insubordination and disrespect for elders, your holy maiden stipend will be halved this year."

After speaking, Fengling said no more and walked deeper into the tunnel without looking back.

"What the hell... my allowance, what's an allowance, pocket money?" Qian Lingyun pondered for a moment, then realized what she meant. While chasing after them, she cried out in a pitiful voice, "Vice Sect Leader, I was wrong! Let's talk this out, don't deduct my pocket money!"
