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

Chapter 317 325326

"Um... my sister? Where is she?!"

Ignoring the astonished looks of passersby, Qian Lingyun rushed into the headquarters of the Ordinary Alliance. She started shouting as soon as she entered, attracting everyone's attention.

Indeed, she was also a little curious about who this person was who dared to impersonate her sister.

Or rather, what exactly is this girl's background?

"Hey hey hey, I'm here!" Shangguan Wei'er heard the noise outside the door, smirked, and dashed out of the office.

She stood in the corridor waving repeatedly at Qian Lingyun, who was looking back and forth in the middle of the hall: "Hehehe, boss, your sister's here! I must say, she's really pretty!"

"How about we consider having her debut in my idol group, so she can become one of those... idols you mentioned!"

"Hmph!" Qian Lingyun snorted coldly, walked straight past Shangguan Weier, pushed open the door and walked into Shangguan Weier's office, and even locked Shangguan Weier, who was following behind her, out of the room!

As she stared at the door that slammed shut with a loud bang, Shangguan Wei'er's face twitched. She clutched her nose, which was bleeding profusely from the impact of the door, and tears streamed down her face.

"Oh no! Why do you always lock me out every time you come to my territory? That's not fair!"

"This is infuriating!"

Frustrated, she stomped her foot at the door. Half of the ordinary workers in the Alliance poked their heads out of their rooms to observe the woman standing there, trembling with excitement.

Fruit swayed in front of her. —Shangguan Wei'er!

"What are you looking at! It's so late, aren't you busy yet? Keep looking and you won't get any bonuses this month! Let's see how you guys survive on your salaries alone!"

Shangguan Wei'er stood with her hands on her hips, angrily roaring at her henchmen, looking exactly like someone going through menopause.

Of course, those who know her real age know that she has long since passed menopause.

In fact, in a few years, she should have stopped...j at her age.

The workers quickly withdrew their heads, not because they couldn't survive with their bonuses deducted, but mainly to save face for their boss.

Those in the know understand that the salaries of the Ordinary Alliance are the highest in the entire Mingdu, and even in the entire Sun Moon Empire.

Countless people would do anything to get a job in the Ordinary Alliance.

"Phew! That finally feels better!"

Seeing the crowd disperse, Shangguan Weier wiped her nose, leaned lazily against the wall, and muttered to herself.

What are they doing in there? Why haven't they come out yet?

Shangguan Wei'er waited idly at the door for a while, but finally couldn't resist her curiosity and cautiously pressed her head against the door...

pat!

She had just pressed her body against the door when it opened.

Suddenly, she lost her balance and fell to her knees with a thud, leaving the two people in the room stunned!

"Um... um... I mean... my... my contact lens fell out, do you believe me?!"

As she spoke, Shangguan Wei'er guiltily began groping on the ground, muttering as she did so, "Hey! Why isn't it here? I must have remembered wrong. Sorry to bother you, I'll be going now, don't bother seeing me off! Goodbye!"

After pretending nothing had happened, Shangguan Weier slowly stood up, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and tried to run away, but as soon as she reached the door, a pair of long legs in black stockings blocked her way!

Gurgle—

Swallowing nervously, Shangguan Wei'er forced a pitiful smile and said in a mournful voice:

"I swear to God! Leader! I really didn't hear anything!"

"..."

Qian Lingyun's brow twitched slightly, and she awkwardly rubbed her forehead, complaining, "Hey! My dear sir! What are you doing?! I didn't say I was going to do anything!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier! You scared me half to death!" Shangguan Wei'er's lips twitched slightly, as if she was muttering something unpleasant.

"My sister... just arrived in Mingdu. Show her around and help her get acquainted with the place. Buy her whatever she wants! I'll reimburse you later!"

On the surface, this was an older sister's concern for her younger sister. In reality, it was a last resort that Qian Lingyun had come up with because she was holding back her anger and didn't want to see that brat Sanyan Jinni for a while.

Just moments before Qian Lingyun closed the door, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion pounced on her.

Looking at that face that looked exactly like Qian Renxue's, Qian Lingyun, who hadn't yet recovered from the shadow of that sword strike that afternoon, subconsciously used a grappling technique to pin the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to the ground.

If it weren't for the familiar tone of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion that snapped Qian Lingyun out of her shock, she probably would have chained the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to the roof beam.

"Fine! I came all this way to see you, and you hit me! Have you forgotten everything you promised me? Have you forgotten the vows we made to each other?!"

With its head pressed to the ground and in close contact with the carpet, the three-eyed golden lion cursed and roared in the tone of a blue-star green tea.

These words startled Qian Lingyun so much that she froze on the spot.

What the heck is this "vow of eternal love"? When did she ever do such a thing?

How could the Three-Eyed Golden Lion describe her as being just like that Chen Shimei?

"What vows of eternal love?!" Qian Lingyun, looking completely bewildered, released her grip on the three-eyed golden lion, frowning and at a loss.

"Have you forgotten about the Life Lake in the core area last year?!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion glared angrily at Qian Lingyun, gritting its teeth and saying in a fit of rage, "What did you promise me? You kept saying you'd go out with Di Tian and the Lord of the Alliance to play with me!"

"And what happened? You never showed up!"

Hearing this, Qian Lingyun also vaguely sensed that something was amiss. Considering this young lady's status as Princess Xingdou and her decisive, action-oriented nature, she couldn't help but ask:

"So...you snuck out?"

"That's right!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion not only didn't deny it... but even proudly puffed out its chest!

"Damn it!" Qian Lingyun's lips twitched, and she was already thinking about whether she should just tie her up and send her to the Starry Sky Forest by express delivery.

If something happens to this little rascal, the Silver Dragon King will surely come looking for him with his sword!

"Hey! I'm warning you! If you try to send me back to Star Dou, don't blame me for telling Di Tian and the others!"

Perhaps it was the telepathic connection that came after the guidance, but the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was already able to catch the little thoughts hidden in Qian Lingyun's eyes.

"Huh? You're threatening me!" Qian Lingyun chuckled, a wicked smile playing on her lips as she grabbed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion by the scruff of its neck. "I'd like to see how they blame me when I send you back to Xingdou!"

"Let go of me first, I want to show you something!"

The three-eyed golden lion, who was being held hostage, was extremely frustrated. Why was Qian Lingyun so difficult to deal with? But she was full of wicked ideas and had already come up with a plan!

Releasing her grip and setting the three-eyed golden lion down, Qian Lingyun crossed her arms and hesitated for a moment, thinking to herself: "You little brat, what haven't I seen? You think you can control me?"

She then nodded with amusement and asked jokingly, "What is it?"

"Give me your hand!" The three-eyed golden lion chuckled and winked mysteriously at Qian Lingyun.

"Oh!" Qian Lingyun responded, caught off guard, and extended her hand, then...

Then Qian Lingyun watched as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion grabbed her hand and ripped off her dress.

The vast expanse of white skin, radiating a dazzling holy light, hurt Qian Lingyun's eyes. She instinctively covered her face with her arm, found a robe from her storage soul tool, and threw it over, covering most of the three-eyed golden lion's body.

Damn, she'd never seen anything like it before...

Hehehe!

Having succeeded in his evil scheme, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion chuckled a few times as it looked at Qian Lingyun's embarrassed appearance. Then, it suddenly lay down on the ground with its legs crossed, striking a very damn... fucking ridiculous pose.

Even her pair of snow-white, rounded thighs would occasionally...

They unconsciously rubbed against each other.

In fact, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion just wanted to see Qian Lingyun's reaction.

As for Qian Lingyun's reaction, she was actually quite happy, like a naughty child who had successfully pulled off a prank.

Qian Lingyun, speechless, had fallen into deep thought!

Why did her innocent and adorable little lion turn into this?!

Which bastard with a death wish did this?!

Hmph! Don't let her know! Otherwise, she'll skin him alive, pull out his tendons, and gouge out his eyes!

The culprit, who had already completed the above steps, was still grumbling and cursing without any knowledge, while the Three-Eyed Golden Lion sat up.

The gray robe slipped off, and Qian Lingyun saw a very large (…)

…)

It was exposed.

The smooth, golden hair cascaded loosely in front of him, giving the three-eyed golden lion a unique charm.

"Hehehe, unexpected, isn't it? Surprised?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion chuckled as it put on its robe, put its arm around Qian Lingyun's shoulder, and comforted her, "Don't worry, follow me. Wherever there are soul beasts, you'll have something to eat!"

"Aaaaaah! How could you have gone astray in such a short time?!" Qian Lingyun pounded her chest and stamped her feet in anger, unable to even catch her breath!

Regardless of whether what just happened was a prank by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, she needs to talk to Di Tian about the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's education!

"I'm a soul beast! Soul beasts don't have your human notions of chastity or shame. For us soul beasts, the victor gets everything the loser has—isn't that perfectly normal?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion patted Qian Lingyun's shoulder dismissively, comforting her, "Relax, relax! There's no soul beast in the world worthy of me. In your words, I'm destined to be alone! I can only joke around with you."

"So, are you still going to send me back? Just so you know, I've dug several tunnels in this ominous place, I'll definitely be running away again!" The three-eyed golden lion lay down on the ground again, looking sly, and said mischievously.

"By then, I'll leave you with the message that you kidnapped me, and see how you explain that to them!"

"You're ruthless!" Qian Lingyun cursed with a dark face, but in the end she still gave in.

She leaned against the wall, frowning, and said, "If I send you back with your foul mouth, it'll be a miracle if Di Tian doesn't treat me to Dragon God's Claw! I'm going to change your foul mouth first!"

"Hey! That's more like it!"

With an smug, "You're so smug!" look on her face, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion called out in a coquettish voice, "Then, before I get tired of playing around outside, please take good care of me, my dear sister!"

"Ugh... that's so cheesy!"

Hearing "Big Sister," Qian Lingyun shuddered. Fighting the goosebumps, she rubbed her arms and said with disdain, "It's so late! Come on, I'll find you a place to stay!"

Straightening up, Qian Lingyun casually opened the door, only to watch as Shangguan Weier suddenly knelt down in front of her, then pretended to look for contact lenses on the floor…

And so, a sinister idea popped into my head…

……

Having once again become a hands-off manager, Qian Lingyun finally felt relieved of a major burden.

Fortunately, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is an auspicious beast of emperors, and its transformation into human form is undetectable to others; otherwise, there would have been quite a commotion!

"These past few days have been so annoying!"

She had to complete her work with the Holy Spirit Church, prepare for her wedding, and also discuss a big business deal with Ye Tianchou's granddaughter.

Work was already busy enough, and now this little devil has come along whom I can neither scold nor hit.

This is truly... damn... a terrible thing!

Looking back at the tattered clothes on the ground, Qian Lingyun raised her hand to burn the fragments, but her arm froze in mid-air as she swung her sleeve, muttering to herself:

"I remember she just said she was an imperial auspicious beast, and that no other soul beast was worthy of her, and that soul beasts all had those bizarre personalities... That's a bit contradictory!"

"Besides, I remember this guy was really arrogant in the original story, and he was cold to everyone else, except... holy crap..."

Her pupils trembled slightly; Qian Lingyun seemed to have guessed something particularly outrageous.

Could it be... that being guided by a mythical beast is the same as being guided by a mythical beast...?! She's just a child who's a little over ten thousand years old!

According to the concept of a 100,000-year-old soul beast transforming into human form, if she were to guide a soul beast that is over 10,000 years old... would that be considered a minor soul beast?

Wait, over ten thousand years old? Over ten thousand years old shouldn't be considered a young soul beast!

Oh! That's all right now!

With a flick of her wrist, Qian Lingyun used her first soul skill to burn the pieces of clothing on the ground into ashes. She then nestled comfortably on the sofa, reminiscing about the story of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion from the original work.

Before the Shrek dating event, someone picked up my handkerchief...

After the blind date, he was supposed to accompany the Shrek Academy's bulls and horses to hunt soul beasts in the Star Dou region... well... Huo Zhongxian shouldn't even think about that.

Since it's impossible to hunt soul beasts with Huo Zhongxian, and it's also impossible to listen to that guy talk about his mother's childhood of eating hot pancakes on her chest.

Speaking of this, she wanted to laugh. She would tell everyone she met how miserable she was, but if she were truly miserable to the point of heartbreak, she wouldn't say it like that.

Whether it's Jiang Nannan selling herself to save her mother or Qian Renxue's unbearable past, both are things suppressed in their hearts, things that can't be extracted even through interrogation.

Furthermore, if Huo Yuhao is really that filial, why haven't we seen him take the time to go back to sweep the tombs and burn paper money?

After he had made a little bit of a name for himself, he pretended to visit the tomb once, and happened to see the tomb after it had been repaired by his father, Dai Hao.

Alright, alright, let's get back to the main topic and continue the calculation:

Since this incident didn't happen, they probably wouldn't have encountered the three Zhongli brothers, who died a long time ago.

In this way, they wouldn't have failed to find the two Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear cubs, nor would they have encountered the three wolf-apes brothers in their panic.

The idea of ​​teleporting leg bones is also nonsense.

Finally, it's estimated that we'll never encounter the endangered Silver Elf.

Later, they opened the brocade pouches belonging to the two old bastards from the Haotian Sect…

Oh! Those two old bastards should be serving time under the guards of Destruction! But it's possible that Tang San still has a backup plan within the Clear Sky Sect…

Let's go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to find the immortal herb?

Hehe... That's impossible. The Yin-Yang Eye is long gone. She ransacked it, leaving no trace of the spring.

From this perspective, Huo Zhongxian would have to kowtow to her a few times. If this place were still here, he would be half-dead and crippled for a long time...

Then, in the so-called Mingdu competition, Wang Qiu'er helped Huo Zhongxian cheat by using the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Technique to win against their Holy Spirit Cult team.

Now! If you've got the guts, come on! She, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, is personally participating.

Use any underhanded methods you can think of! But in the face of absolute power, it's all nonsense!

Then we'll see who twists whose head off.

Then... they stole the Sun and Moon's warehouse, then blew it up, and incidentally also blew up Mingdu... killing several million people①.

Finally, Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er fought fiercely for Huo Zhongxian in Qiankun Wenqing Valley, their fates hanging in the balance...

What the hell!

Thinking of this, Qian Lingyun suddenly opened her eyes and jumped up from the sofa with a start. With this young lady's personality, if she knew something, she might really do something outrageous.

"Xiao Wei!" Qian Lingyun hurriedly reminded her as she made a soul-guided communication call.

"Don't you dare tell anyone that I'm getting married in a few days! You hear me!"

"Ah...this...this..."

"..."

Shangguan Weier's halting words had already given Qian Lingyun the answer.

"When did you tell her?" Qian Lingyun asked in a deep voice.

"It was when we went out to the night market that she asked me if I had someone I liked. Well... since you two are sisters, I... cough cough cough, I told her about your wedding..."

Shangguan Wei'er clearly sensed something was wrong from Qian Lingyun's tone, and she quickly reassured her, "It's alright, Sect Leader, your sister is right beside me..."

Shangguan Wei'er turned around with an embarrassed smile, only to find that her little darling, who had just been eating snacks beside her, was nowhere to be seen...

Both Qian Lingyun on one end of the communicator and Shangguan Weier on the other remained silent for a moment…

"Oh no, this is terrible, something's happened!"

For some reason, surprisingly, Qian Lingyun didn't feel any anger at all. On the contrary, she even felt a little... a little inexplicable emotion.

The feelings were extremely complex, a mixture of relief that I had anticipated these messed-up things, and frustration that I wanted to yell at people for their incompetence.

There was even the anxiety of losing one's little aunt...

"Where are you now? When did she disappear?!"

Soon, Qian Lingyun's calm voice came from the other end of the communicator, and her composed tone made Shangguan Weier look at her with surprise.

Should I say that she truly lives up to her reputation?

Even when her younger sister was lost, she remained so calm.

But is that really the case? Of course not…

If someone were still in Shangguan Weier's office, they would definitely be able to see it clearly:

Beneath Qian Lingyun's calm and composed expression, veins bulged on her fair forehead, and her right hand, resting to the side, was digging deeply into the metal armrest.

The chaotic flow of soul energy, in shades of extreme cold and extreme evil, nearly ripped the floor of the room off.

(As mentioned in the original text, the size of Mingdu is much larger than the combined capitals of the three kingdoms. Xingluo City has a population of eight million, so three times that would be twenty-four million. Considering that Tianhun and Douling are smaller, rounding down the numbers, it's not unreasonable to say that it's twenty million.)

During the first major tournament, the population of Xingluo City surged from eight million to nearly twenty million due to the influx of spectators. It can be inferred that the number of spectators from outside the city was around ten million.

The section on the post-civilization capital's big bang explicitly mentions over ten million spectators and participants.

This equates to approximately 30 million people in Ming capital at the time.

After the explosion, it was also clearly stated several times that one-third of the Ming capital had fallen:

The explosion engulfed a third of Mingdu, and the shockwave spread throughout the entire city.

The core area of ​​the Mingdu explosion was Mingde Hall, which was also the core of the Sun and Moon Royal Academy, and it was the most densely populated area in Mingdu.

Even if we take a conservative estimate, the number of people who died in the explosion was still over a million.

Even if we take a conservative estimate, it's not impossible for it to be tens of millions.

Stealing things and incidentally causing the deaths of millions of people—do you think World War II would have been justified if the sun and moon hadn't risen?

Compared to their battle records, Ye Xishui and Zhong Liwu, these evil soul masters, are all great benefactors.

As for He Caitou's consolation, that's bullshit. He wasn't at the scene of the explosion. A third of the capital collapsed, not to mention other places that were injured by the shockwave. He didn't even see it. How can you believe what he says?

The Holy Spirit Cult's strength has surged dramatically, and the Shrek Academy members deserve much credit for that!
