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

Chapter 190 - The Mysterious Ye Guyi

"You flatter me, Sixth Master!" Qian Lingyun tapped the doorframe a few times with her index finger, impatiently urging, "Xiao Wei! Why are you taking so long to change your clothes!"

"Coming, Master."

From the reception room came Shangguan Wei'er's weak yet charming voice responding.

At Qian Lingyun's request, Shangguan Weier changed into a more appropriate outfit and gracefully walked out of the reception room.

Although... although she was filled with resentment and frustration, feeling that a titled Douluo who had risen to power through unscrupulous means had actually been defeated by this little girl, Qian Lingyun.

But she still did a good job of putting on a show, only she still had that naturally charming and obedient look on her face.

"Xiao Wei! Let me introduce you. This is Zhang Lexuan, 24 years old, level 85, a future Super Douluo."

Qian Lingyun placed Zhang Lexuan's hand on Shangguan Weier's hand and said softly, "We're all family now, so you should get to know each other and work for me properly from now on."

"Hello, I am Zhang Lexuan, the master's personal maid." Zhang Lexuan looked at the old woman in front of her expressionlessly, her gloomy eyes filled with scrutiny.

Shangguan Weier also noticed the inexplicable hostility in Zhang Lexuan's eyes. She simply took Zhang Lexuan's hand with a forced smile and shook it off perfunctorily. "I am Shangguan Weier, the head of the Ordinary Alliance and my master's right-hand woman."

"..." Qian Lingyun watched the two arguing with great interest, but had no intention of stopping them.

In her opinion, it was a good thing to put some competitive pressure on these two guys, anyway... once they were involved, she would be the one to benefit.

"Le Xuan, you've worked hard these past few days. Come and rest here with the elders and relax!"

"Xiao Wei, come with me!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Weier gave Zhang Lexuan a defiant look, dramatically shook her proud breasts, and shouted at Qian Lingyun, "Master, slow down! I can't keep up!"

For some reason, seeing Zhang Lexuan's lost and forlorn expression, Shangguan Weier's mood improved considerably.

She couldn't help but sneer inwardly: What good is talent if she doesn't know how to please her master? It's all for nothing!

"Master..." Zhang Lexuan was about to say something when Bai Yuan grabbed her arm. "Lexuan! Let me tell you from my own experience."

"Instead of getting angry now, focus on your cultivation. Once your cultivation surpasses hers, everything will be alright!"

Looking at Bai Yuan's sincere gaze, Zhang Lexuan asked in confusion, "Aren't you an evil spirit master? How do you know so much?"

"I may be a perverted evil spirit master, but I'm not stupid either!" Bai Yuan chuckled, a hint of helplessness in her voice.

"If you were the Holy Maiden, would you give a titled Douluo or a Super Douluo a prominent position? Especially a top student from Shrek Academy! How can you be so stupid?!"

These words made Zhang Lexuan feel so ashamed that she wanted to disappear into the ground.

She recalled in her mind the words Qian Lingyun had said to her during this time, and the one that appeared most frequently was "cultivate diligently"...

"So the Holy Maiden was trying to inspire me to cultivate diligently by having that old woman do it. She really went to great lengths!"

Zhang Lexuan clapped her hands suddenly, completely unaware that the old woman Bai Yuan, whom she had been indirectly criticizing, was looking at her with a complicated expression.

Outside the headquarters of the Ordinary Alliance.

Qian Lingyun and Shangguan Weier boarded a carriage with elaborate decorations that looked extremely luxurious.

The carriage moved slowly, pulled by the spirit beast, the Heavenly Horned Horse, and soon passed through the bustling city center.

As the leader of the three major underground forces in Mingdu, the Ordinary Alliance naturally didn't care about road conditions; their only concern was to move forward.

Ordinary people would absolutely avoid them at all costs if they saw the markings on their carriages.

These luxurious carriages have excellent shock absorption and sound insulation; you can hardly hear any noise coming from outside.

Throughout the journey, Qian Lingyun simply closed her eyes to rest, seemingly contemplating whether to beat Ye Guyi up first before talking to him, or to beat him up only after failing to reach an agreement.

According to the timeline, in the Mingdu Underground Soul Master Competition five years later, Ye Guyi, who was around twenty-four years old, would only be a six-ring Soul Emperor. Now, she is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and at most, she would be a Soul King.

She's just a Soul King, so Qian Lingyun could easily handle her. The real challenge is figuring out how to persuade her to join her.

For a moment, Qian Lingyun began to miss Qian Renxue again.

"Master, what are you thinking about!" Shangguan Wei'er keenly noticed the change in Qian Lingyun's expression and teased mischievously, "Thinking about your sweetheart, aren't you?"

"Eh?" Qian Lingyun was slightly taken aback, a blush creeping onto her face. She angrily slammed her fist on the carriage partition, yelling, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

"Miss Yun! Someone as experienced as me can see through it at a glance, so please stop pretending."

As philosopher Wojciech Shode once said: Life is like a wall; if you can't fight it, you might as well enjoy it!

Shangguan Weier's gossip spirit was burning brightly at this moment. She couldn't wait to know who the person was who could win the heart of such a freakish woman as Qian Lingyun!

"Shut up!!" Qian Lingyun growled, her face dark, as if about to hit her. "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"

"I'm getting anxious! I'm getting anxious!" Shangguan Wei'er pouted and muttered.

"..." Qian Lingyun stared at Shangguan Weier in astonishment, unable to comprehend for a long time how Shangguan Weier had learned the five traditional arts of Blue Star: Laughter, Joy, Clam, and Emergency Skills!

"Oh dear, we're here, we're here." Shangguan Wei'er lifted the curtain of the carriage bed, smiled slightly, and showed it off: "Look, this is the largest, best, and most luxurious love hotel in the entire Ming capital—Liangxiao Hotel."

"Wow, this love hotel you built is more extravagant than a normal hotel!"

After carefully examining the so-called Liangxiao Hotel, even Qian Lingyun had to admire its...stylishness.

The eleven-story pure pink building is paired with a striking pink heart-shaped light sign on the roof, along with windows that are also heart-shaped.

Its novelty would be comparable even on Earth.

The hotel's first floor has no lobby or reception area; upon entering, one is greeted by dazzling lights, extravagant lifestyles, and vast expanses of white.

The waiters working here are dressed scantily; both men and women basically only have a few black ribbons covering their most private parts.

Shangguan Weier skillfully opened a door hidden in the wall and pushed Qian Lingyun into the elevator behind the door.

"How was it? Did you feel a surge of happiness as soon as you stepped in?" Shangguan Wei'er excitedly wiggled around in the elevator, even holding a glass of fruit wine in her hand.

"Hmph, what a chaotic mess!" Qian Lingyun rolled her eyes and pouted in dissatisfaction, seemingly still resentful about being dragged into drinking by people while walking among the chaotic crowd.

"Oh dear, calm down! Mingdu is such a big city, it's normal to feel depressed. Without these drunkards throwing money around, so many of us in the Ordinary Alliance would starve!"

Shangguan Weier nonchalantly downed the remaining wine in her cup, then flung open the door to the cubicle and said, "Alright, alright, we're here. Your beloved Ye Guyi will be staying here."

(Original text: Ye Guyi turned her head away, as if she hadn't heard him, and ignored him.)

"Stop fooling around, aren't you hungry?" Huo Yuhao said helplessly, as if coaxing his younger sister. In reality, Ye Guyi was five or six years older than him.

(I'll take six years, since Qian Lingyun is the same age as Huo Yuhao. This means Ye Guyi is currently nineteen.)
