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

Chapter 237 - Zhongli Wu: Family, does anyone know this? This is the Saintess Steamed Shrimp Head!

Zhongli Wu felt that coming here today was a mistake. Originally, Yan Feng being beaten was a big deal or a small deal. He just wanted to take this opportunity to teach this little girl who had just arrived and was thinking of undermining his power a lesson.

Who would have thought…

Sigh! What a cold and heartless world!

Is Ye Xishui really his biological mother?! It feels...sigh!

"Mother, I have other matters to attend to, so I must take my leave!"

Zhongli Wu looked somewhat embarrassed. He picked up Yan Feng and got up to leave, but Ye Xishui only gave them a cold look and said, "Don't bother seeing me out!"

After Zhongli Wu left with Yan Feng, Ye Xishui's cold expression turned into anger. She grabbed Qian Lingyun from behind the curtains by the ear and pulled her out.

Those gloomy eyes stared straight at Qian Lingyun, making this usually bold girl tremble with fear.

Ye Xishui said coldly, "I told you to compete for the position of sect leader, is this how you compete? Are you really stupid or just pretending?! I..."

Before Ye Xishui could finish speaking, Qian Lingyun chuckled, a flattering smile appearing on her pretty face.

Seeing the jade box Qian Lingyun handed her, Ye Xishui was slightly taken aback, then subconsciously took it and asked, "What is this?"

"Why don't you open it and see for yourself!" Qian Lingyun winked mysteriously and opened the box for Ye Xishui.

Ye Xishui reached out and touched it, then grabbed Yu Xuantian's semi-transparent soul from the box, exclaiming in surprise, "The soul of a Title Douluo? For me?"

Seeing that Ye Xishui's mood had improved slightly, Qian Lingyun started talking nonsense again. Her ability to talk nonsense with a straight face was truly frightening, and even Ye Xishui couldn't help but fall for it.

Qian Lingyun said, "Grandmother doesn't know that to kill this old bastard, I fought him for three hundred rounds in the sky, narrowly escaping death, before I finally managed to kill him. If you don't believe me, you can go ask the Sixth and Eighth Offerings!"

"Really! That's quite something! It's rare that you have this kind of thought!" Ye Xishui carefully put away Yu Xuantian's soul and coughed a few times.

Seeing Qian Lingyun standing to the side grinning foolishly, Ye Xishui frowned, gave Qian Lingyun a light slap on the back, and said, "Don't do it again!"

Afterwards, Ye Xishui even specifically sought out Wu Yun and Zhang Peng to inquire about this matter.

To everyone's surprise, Wu Yun and Zhang Peng exchanged a bewildered glance, scratched their heads somewhat awkwardly, and said, "What three hundred rounds? Wasn't it supposed to be over in three rounds?"

"Three rounds? This girl's been keeping it pretty secret!"

……

After returning to his room, Zhongli Wu felt increasingly aggrieved by his actions, and even more angry by his reluctance to back down. He summoned Feng Ling to discuss how to limit the power of Qian Lingyun, the Holy Maiden.

If the Seventh Ring dares to beat the sect leader's disciple to the point that his own mother wouldn't recognize him, wouldn't the Eighth Ring beat up the elders who are loyal to the sect leader?

Once she reaches the Ninth Ring Road, she'll probably just ask him, the leader, to step down!

"Master, what's the matter?" Feng Ling asked tentatively, sitting in her chair and looking at Zhongli Wu's gloomy face. "Is there some trouble?"

Zhongli Wu gave Feng Ling a deep look, a rare hint of helplessness appearing in his cold eyes. He sighed softly:

"Little Feng, the Rakshasa Saintess has been getting increasingly restless lately. Her reputation among the elders and even the lower-ranking disciples is rising higher and higher! If it weren't for her insufficient cultivation, I'm afraid... sigh!"

"Your Excellency is overthinking this. Although the Holy Maiden Rakshasa is a prodigy, her foundation within our sect is still shallow. She is far from enough to threaten your position!"

Feng Ling's eyes lit up, and an idea came to her.

She feigned surprise to provoke Zhongli Wu: "What, does the sect leader think his status in the sect is inferior to that of the Holy Maiden?"

"Hmph! How could that be!" Zhongli Wu was slightly taken aback, and an angry expression involuntarily appeared on his face. Although it was very subtle, Feng Ling still caught it. She pretended to be affectionate and shouted loudly:

"Why is the cult leader acting like this? This isn't the heroic cult leader we know!"

Oh! I still hold such a high place in your hearts?

Startled, Zhongli Wu remained silent for a moment before calmly explaining:

"I just felt we needed to limit her power and teach this arrogant little brat a lesson!"

Ha, I was fooled after all!

A strange smile appeared on Feng Ling's lips as she thought to herself:

He keeps claiming to be omnipotent, and he's actually fooled himself. If you don't die, how will the Holy Maiden rise to power, and how will I become the Grand Priest of the Rakshasa God and break through to the Limit Douluo level in the future?

Even if it weren't for the saintess, I'd still find a way to get rid of you, you old bastard, just for my own sake!

"I think this is inappropriate!" Feng Ling shook her head seriously, analyzing the situation for Zhongli Wu:

"The Holy Maiden is the successor of the Supreme Leader, and doing this is likely to incur the Supreme Leader's displeasure."

Zhongli Wu said discontentedly, "Then tell me what I should do!? I can't displease my mother, but I can also teach this girl a lesson?"

"The Holy Maiden loves money. Didn't she recently set up the Ordinary Alliance to do business with her? In my opinion, the leader only needs to give her some capital and let her do business on her own. Before long, she'll go astray!"

"By then, won't her money and her person still be entirely under your control, cult leader?!"

At this point, Feng Ling couldn't help but reveal a smug smile. She looked eagerly at Zhongli Wu, who was frowning and deep in thought, and soon got the answer she wanted to hear.

"That makes sense, and that's the only way to do it!"

Zhongli Wu nodded with a worried expression, gesturing, "Go and call Rakshasa here!"

"Yes!" Feng Ling accepted the order and withdrew.

Having found the girl covered in black soot from the fireworks at the Soul Guidance Test Field, Feng Ling fell into deep thought.

Is this crazy woman, covered in gunpowder dust and looking disheveled, really Qian Lingyun?!

"Oh, Vice Leader, what a rare guest!"

Having had her fill of playing, Qian Lingyun took a towel from the servant beside her and wiped the dust off her face, revealing her pretty little face.

"The cult leader sent me to find you!" Feng Ling said with a straight face.

In fact, she had already said everything she could, except for revealing the color of Zhongli Wu's underwear.

Well, actually nobody's really interested in the color of Zhongli Wu's pants.

"Got it, you want me to pretend to be a naive and clueless person who's obsessed with money, right?" Qian Lingyun said with a wink.

I don't think there's any need to pretend; you look just right as you are!

Feng Ling muttered a few words to herself and pulled Qian Lingyun into Zhongli Wu's room.

Upon entering, Qian Lingyun spoke first, directly interrupting Zhongli Wu's rhythm:

"Wow, the leader looks great lately! What tonics have you been taking? I highly recommend them!"

Zhongli Wu: "!?"

Feng Ling: "?!"

After a long while, Zhongli Wu finally came to his senses and solemnly took out the gold vouchers he had taken from his private stash of money and handed them to Qian Lingyun.

Qian Lingyun feigned a flattered expression, accepted the gold voucher from Zhongli Wu's hand, and blurted out, "Master, you're usually so stingy, even asking for ten million is a hassle, how come you're so quick to give me a hundred million now? Did you rob the Sun and Moon Warehouse?"

"Cough cough cough!"

Zhongli Wu coughed in anger at Qian Lingyun's words and almost slapped her.

But when he saw the clear foolishness on Qian Lingyun's face, his mood improved for some reason.

He felt that this girl's nonsensical and silly behavior, combined with his mother's cold attitude towards him and her protection of Qian Lingyun, made him realize that...

It's not hard to see that the methods this girl used to bribe and curry favor were definitely taught to her by her mother, Ye Xishui.

But all those strange ideas of hers were actually her own.

It's outrageous that shrewdness and stupidity can coexist in one person!

After thinking for a moment, Zhongli Wupi said with a forced smile, "I heard you recently acquired the Ordinary Alliance and even opened a breeding farm to start a business!?"

"Yes," Qian Lingyun nodded honestly, "I want to open a chain of stores and make a fortune!"

"What if you don't make any money and end up losing money?" Zhongli Wu asked curiously.

"That doesn't matter, anyway, all the money I spent was given to me by you!"

"..."

Qian Lingyun's frankness silenced Zhongli Wu once again. In all these years, Qian Lingyun was probably the only person who could leave him speechless.

Then, he added another ten million, gritting his teeth and cursing angrily:

"Take the money and get out of here to do business. I don't want to see you this year!"

"Fine, you're the boss since you pay me. I'll get lost as you wish!"

Qian Lingyun grabbed the money and ran, disappearing from Zhongli Wu's senses in the blink of an eye...
