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

Chapter 314 319320—The Crown Princess's Wedding Preparations: You can't handle this, let me.

The most unreliable Wu Yu rolled up her sleeves, ready to confront Zhong Liwu, but Bai Yuan grabbed these two newly promoted title holders who were even stronger than her, and pointed at Qian Lingyun, explaining with a wry smile:

"She's no longer a saint, because she's become the leader!"

"Holy crap, cult leader, you've been promoted!"

For a moment, Wu Yu's mouth gaped open as if she could swallow a duck egg. She couldn't help but swear and handed over the bucket in her hand.

Taking the bucket, Qian Lingyun shook it, finding it quite heavy, and asked in a low voice, "What is this?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to make a dress with sequins? So we just ripped all the scales off those two mermaids!"

Wu Yu lifted the lid of the wooden bucket in her hand, revealing the contents inside.

Qian Lingyun leaned down and saw that the bucket was filled with dense, layered blue fish scales, which emitted a faint sapphire blue light, as if telling the story of their extraordinary nature.

I must say, these scales are really beautiful!

swish swish...

Qian Lingyun picked up a few pieces and held them in her palm. A cool sensation refreshed her. A thought struck her. She turned to Shangguan Weier and said in a deep voice, "Making a phoenix coronet and wedding gown is difficult! But making a nice dress with these materials shouldn't be hard!"

"This is something we can give a try!" Shangguan Wei'er exchanged a subtle glance with Yuma and then agreed.

Yes, how could Yuma not prepare these things? She just planned to team up with others to give Qian Lingyun a little surprise!

"Let's just take it one step at a time. If it really doesn't work out, we'll just buy something passable on the street and make do!"

Qian Lingyun picked at her ear, feeling incredibly annoyed. She vanished from the room, leaving only the words:

"Speaking of which, I have to go to the palace this afternoon. They say there's something strange they want me to see. I'll be going now!"

"Hmm," they mumbled, not even looking up, just quietly eating sunflower seeds...

"We've gone far!" Feng Ling closed her eyes to assess the situation, then said with a slightly serious expression, "How are everyone's preparations going?!"

"I'm all set on my end. My 48-person maidservant team consists of beauties carefully selected from the Ordinary Alliance, all with cultivation levels of at least the fifth ring," Shangguan Wei'er said, casually grabbing a handful of mermaid scales from the bucket and tossing them around. She then glanced sideways and asked, "And you?!"

"I've prepared four soul-guided combat vehicles, all level eight, painted with gold paint; they can be used as wedding cars!"

The ever-unconventional Mei Douluo flicked the ring on his hand, indicating that everything was ready and they were just waiting for that day to arrive.

"The wedding cars are all level eight soul tools?!" Darren, sprawled on the table, raised an eyebrow and said, "That's incredibly extravagant. Aren't you going to show us?"

"That thing is huge, it can't fit in this room! We'll talk about it later!" Mei Douluo shook her head, but instead nudged Bai Yuan, saying, "Yuanzi, what about you!?"

"I..." Bai Yuan frowned, still struggling with whether or not to tell him about going to help Xu Tianran set his leg in a couple of days.

Finally, Yuma stepped in to help her out: "What Bai Gongshang does is rather secretive, so let's not talk about it!"

"You've said so much, but I still have a question," Wu Yu asked curiously, puzzled.

"I still don't know who the groom is. Can any of you tell me?"

"Exactly, exactly! What kind of person is so lucky to marry such a top-notch woman like my Sister Yun?" Wu Yun couldn't help but chime in.

"Ugh! The groom is the Crown Prince, the one without legs!" Zhang Lexuan threw her pen on the table and said with a gloomy face:

"If he dares to do anything shameful behind the Lord's back, I'll tear him apart alive!"

"Um... that's a good idea, but you shouldn't think about it that way. My daughter is so young, she can't be a widow!" Yuma coughed a few times and said helplessly.

"Wait a minute, if the groom is the Crown Prince, then doesn't that mean... Sister Yun will immediately become the Crown Princess, then the Empress, and then the Empress Dowager!" Wu Yun counted on her fingers, calculating the generations, and finally came to a very impressive conclusion:

Given that Chong Qianlingyun has a high probability of becoming a Limit Douluo in the future, the Sun Moon Royal Family is ultimately climbing too high!

"By the way, do I need an invitation or something to attend a banquet? I don't have one yet!"

Suddenly, as if remembering something important, Wu Yu leaned closer to the group and said with an embarrassed smile, "Do you have any extra invitations? Could you send one to me and my sister?"

"Idiots, what kind of invitations do you need!" Darren pointed at Feng Ling, Zhang Lexuan, and then at the Wu Yu sisters, teasingly saying, "The four of you can form a bridesmaid group and follow the bride in. Who can stop you?"

"Yes, yes, that's a great idea! Let's sneak in and eat at the banquet! The food at the Crown Prince's wedding feast must be amazing!"

Looking at Darren, who was offering her advice, Wu Yun asked expectantly, "And you? If you have an invitation, where will you sit?"

"Me!?" Darren pointed at himself, slightly taken aback, and hesitated before saying, "If nothing unexpected happens, I should be on the woman's side of the family. Oh, and I'm supposed to sit at the children's table..."

"Don't even mention sitting at the children's table, you can sit at the table by yourself without any problem!" Yuma looked at the two young women in front of her with a sense of anxiety.

Will bringing this group of lunatics to the wedding banquet really not cause any trouble?

No, on that day, she absolutely had to keep a close eye on these lunatics and make sure they didn't cause any trouble...

……

After rushing out of the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, Qian Lingyun's speed immediately slowed down.

With nothing to do, she kicked a protruding pebble on the road, walking and kicking it along the way, and soon deviated from her planned route, ending up in a desolate woodland.

"This is so annoying! What the hell says that marrying into the royal family requires learning royal etiquette?" Qian Lingyun cursed as she kicked, her heart filled with resentment.

As planned, this beautiful afternoon, she was to go to the Rheinmetall Armory to inspect the fifth comprehensive experiment of the Soul Guidance Vehicle.

That evening, she was going to the Xishui Alliance to check on the rare metals that would be exported from the three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent this month.

But because of this ridiculous royal etiquette training, she had no choice but to completely revise her previous plans.

This feeling of losing control of what you're doing is terrible.

After walking along the woodland for another ten minutes or so, the fresh air calmed Qian Lingyun's anxious mood a little.

Until... the few ten-year and hundred-year soul rings floating around in the air caught Qian Lingyun's attention, and she used her mental detection to scan all living things within a five-kilometer radius.

The east is normal, the south is normal... the west... wait?

A large, black worm torn to pieces and four or five men dressed as Soul Masters standing next to its corpse caught Qian Lingyun's attention.

"A seventh-ringed spirit ring with a younger generation hunting spirit ring? A fourth spirit ring from around 4,500 years ago?"

With a quick glance at the already cold corpses of the worms and the Soul Master, Qian Lingyun was able to assess the strength of these guys.

One seven-ring, two six-ring, and three juniors with three or four rings.

The blood souls that needed to be nourished by souls were gone, and these lowly minions were no longer worthy of Qian Lingyun's attention.

Unfortunately, before Qian Lingyun could withdraw her mental probe, the unfortunate child who had absorbed the soul ring had already finished.

As luck would have it, a pair of mouth-like things came out of his mouth.

Then a gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd:

"Wow! Could this be the legendary external soul bone? As expected of the young master!"

Huh?! What? An external soul bone?

"I think I heard something incredible! Which lucky guy is it this time?"

Pausing and looking back, Qian Lingyun used her mental detection to lock onto the young man who had sprayed the nozzle. She observed him carefully for a while, and then flashed to the very center of their group!

"Huh! Who is it?" The leading Soul Saint cautiously pulled his two juniors behind him and took a few steps back as he looked at the mysterious woman who had suddenly appeared in front of him.

"I think I heard some incredible vocabulary, but... oh, I think I forgot..." Qian Lingyun tilted her head and lightly bit her fingertip, pretending to be deep in thought.

Seeing the group cowering like cats before a tiger, Qian Lingyun sneered and pointed at the 'lucky one': "I was just kidding, I haven't forgotten."

"I remember clearly, what you were talking about... seemed to be external soul bones!"

"Hand over the soul bone, and I'll spare your lives!"

"Senior, we are from the Viscount Hanshan Mansion of Mingdu. Although we do not know where you are from, please do not make things difficult for us."

Sensing the faint, menacing aura in the air, Soul Saint couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance and had no choice but to grit his teeth and negotiate with Qian Lingyun.

"What's Viscount Hanshan? Never heard of him!" Qian Lingyun picked a wildflower from the ground, slowly plucking at the petals, looking at the leading Soul Saint with some impatience.

"I have a happy occasion in a few days. Although it's not very convenient to have blood, it's not that I absolutely can't have blood."

"Hehehe, external soul bones are too precious for you to handle. You might as well hand them over to me to manage!" Qian Lingyun said with a wicked smile.

This woman was definitely after the external soul bone! Damn it!

The "lucky guy" tried to quickly retract the pair of pink mouthparts into his body, but he was ultimately too young.

If you refuse something good that's offered to you, what's the difference between you and a fool?

Qian Lingyun didn't give him a chance to think at all. She walked directly to his side, her jade hand stroking the poisonous flesh-colored mouthparts, as if she were caressing a treasure, completely unaffected by the poison.

That makes sense. Faced with the ultimate poison, all other toxins have no choice but to submit, let alone the toxins inherent in this thousand-year-old worm soul beast.

Even the toxins of a 100,000-year-old poison-type soul beast are nothing special.

"stop!"

The leading Soul Saint mustered his courage and shouted, "If you want to touch the young master, you'll have to start with my..."

Several thuds of flesh being torn apart rang out, followed by a series of muffled thuds as flesh slammed heavily onto the ground.

Even in death, the horror in the eyes of these men did not fade.

"Walk over your corpses, is that it? Fine! I'll grant your wish!"

Having instantly killed five people, Qian Lingyun didn't even turn her head; her gaze remained fixed on the mouth of the 'lucky one'.

"Strange, is this thing attached to my tongue or my teeth? Hey! Put it back so I can see!"

The "Lucky Guy" stared in horror at the female demon before him, cold sweat pouring down his face.

The Soul Saint his family had spent a fortune hiring was torn to pieces by this woman without even turning her head. Could this be a legendary Title Douluo?! If he is a Title Douluo, then he is...

"Hey! Can't you understand me?" Qian Lingyun looked at the seemingly terrified guy in front of her, rubbed her lips in annoyance, and muttered to herself:

"Forget it, I'll just tear it off!"

Ignoring the 'lucky guy's' pleas, Qian Lingyun twisted his neck with one hand and grabbed the joint of his mouthpiece with the other, forcefully tearing the not-yet-fully-fused external soul bone out of his mouth.

Kicking at the lifeless corpse on the ground, Qian Lingyun stepped over it without a care. Instead, she was more concerned about the blood still dripping from her hand.

Casually using her soul power to wash away the bloodstains, Qian Lingyun walked along, fiddling with the pair of strangely shaped external soul bones with great interest.

"Does it possess a certain talent for using poison and stretching?"

After playing with the newly acquired external soul bones for a while, Qian Lingyun imagined what it would look like if those two strange-looking things popped out of her mouth.

Ugh... It's a little upsetting to think about, but this thing really suits me!

After hesitating for a while, Qian Lingyun finally decided to absorb it.

It's still an external soul bone, after all; absorbing it can enhance one's combat power to some extent.

She returned along the same route and found a large rock at the very edge of the Demon Forest to rest. While drinking tea, she absorbed the soul bone.

In about fifteen minutes, Qian Lingyun covered her mouth and stood up from the rock, turning her gaze to the towering tree three meters away.

With a thought, four proboscises shot out from Qian Lingyun's mouth, piercing directly through the thick trunk of the tree!

Retracting her sharp mandibles, Qian Lingyun subconsciously licked her lips and swirled them around:

"Is there really such a big difference between the absorption effects of a four-ring Soul Master and an eight-ring Soul Douluo?"

Does an external spirit bone have the characteristic of growing along with its host?

However... a three-meter launch distance is truly remarkable!

In the next half hour, Qian Lingyun found some other things to experiment with the other effects of the external soul bone. Finally, due to time constraints, she reluctantly left the Demon Forest.

……

They arrived at the entrance of the Sun and Moon Imperial Palace without any hindrance. The old nanny responsible for welcoming Qian Lingyun hurriedly went to greet her, bowed, and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess, you've finally arrived! This servant has been waiting here for a long time!"

"Crown Princess? That's too early! I'm not even married into the family yet!" Qian Lingyun paused, then looked at the old nanny with a wry smile, and said softly, "Tell me! What happened?"

"No, not at all. It's just that the wives of the other princes all came to the palace to pay their respects today. As the future Crown Princess, you were late in coming, so..."

Looking at Qian Lingyun, the old nanny struggled to organize her thoughts, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh! I get it, I get it!"

"So they think I'm ill-mannered!" Qian Lingyun looked at the old nanny dismissively, scoffed, and said, "I'm not even married into the family yet! These young girls dare to talk nonsense about me. How will I live after I'm married?"

"Lead the way, I'll see who dares to gossip about me behind my back today."

"Yes," the old nanny could not refuse and had no choice but to nod, leading Qian Lingyun in another direction.

Along the way, Qian Lingyun looked around with the mindset of a picnic, and her calm and composed demeanor surprised even the old nanny who had been in the palace for decades.

It was clearly stated in Douluo Continent I that external spirit bones can be torn off before they are fully fused. Tang San's Eight Spider Lances were not fully fused at first. They were fully fused after being suppressed by the pressure when he went to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
