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

Chapter 331 350351—Where did these wild and treacherous words come from!

In fact, Qian Renxue also liked the little girl, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Of course, it wasn't the kind of distorted liking, but rather... tsk!

It's the kind of affection you have, like the love you have for your younger siblings or for your cats and dogs.

"She likes you so much, don't you have any thoughts about it? If you were to take her in as well, I wouldn't really object!" Qian Renxue looked at the two of them with a half-smile, a string of pink heart-shaped bubbles vaguely appearing on her forehead!

"I can't give her an uncertain future. This matter... let's talk about it when I'm still alive!" 'Qian Lingyun' glanced at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion again and replied expressionlessly.

"Yun'er, you've really suffered because of all this! Why don't you..."

As she spoke, tears welled up in Qian Renxue's eyes. She lowered her gaze and said wistfully.

"It's alright! Not exactly tiring!" Qian Lingyun walked forward with a half-smile, leaning against Qian Renxue. She lightly touched Qian Renxue's earlobe and whispered, "Maybe I'm enjoying it!"

"hiss!"

Qian Renxue frowned, a ticklish, tingling sensation shooting from her tailbone to the top of her head, instantly giving her goosebumps. She hissed softly, looking at 'Qian Lingyun' in confusion, thinking: [When did she realize my ears are so sensitive? Is it just my imagination?]

"Hmph!" Qian Lingyun looked at Qian Renxue's flushed face with a playful glint in her eyes, secretly chuckling: "Did you think I only learned operational techniques in the Holy Spirit Cult, and didn't learn that kind of exploratory thinking?"

Just as the atmosphere was getting increasingly heated, and the two were about to make their efforts to create the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire, a certain golden light bulb couldn't help but cough a few times.

The three-eyed golden lion said in annoyance, "Hey, hey, I'm still here! Please don't ignore me, okay?"

Qian Renxue: "Sorry, we'll be more careful next time!"

Qian Lingyun: "You want to come too?!"

Qian Lingyu and Qian Renxue: "?!"

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Qian Renxue slammed her hand on the desk, angrily saying, "She's just a child!"

"Yes, yes, child, a child thousands of years older than you!" Qian Lingyun said nonchalantly, fiddling with her nails, completely ignoring Qian Renxue's words.

"you!"

Qian Renxue was furious. Where had her adorable, sweet, and gentle Xiao Yun'er gone, who had no bad habits except for being stubborn?

When did she become such a mean-spirited jerk? It's so annoying! She's so angry! She really wants to... really wants to hear her crying and begging for mercy like she did yesterday!

"Don't be angry, it's no use being angry! I'm leaving the concubine to you, I'm leaving now!" 'Qian Lingyun' got up from in front of Qian Renxue and lazily walked towards the door.

Before leaving, she pinched the three-eyed golden lion's little face, indicating, "You'll stay in the palace for the time being, and listen to her in everything! I still have things to take care of, so I'll be going now!"

After speaking, Qian Lingyun walked out of the Crown Prince's East Palace without looking back, heading straight for the Imperial Study where the Emperor usually stayed.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Princess!"

Along the way, the palace maids and servants who were hurrying along the roadside immediately stopped in their tracks and lined up to pay their respects when they saw Qian Lingyun.

"Hmm! The weather's nice, everyone get back to work!"

Qian Lingyun nodded to the palace maids, gave a light snort, and waved her hand, signaling them to disperse.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has left the palace and has not yet returned!"

The guard at the door whispered a reminder.

At this moment, Qian Lingyun suddenly realized that in such a short time, the old emperor's imperial carriage probably hadn't even returned from Mingde Hall yet!

Hastily!

She pondered for a moment, then said softly, "It's alright, you go ahead with your work. I'll wait for Father at the door!"

About an hour later, a large group of people was walking towards them from the long corridor in the distance.

Without even asking, just from this scene, everyone knows that the emperor has returned to the palace!

Seeing Qian Lingyun waiting quietly in front of the palace gate, the old emperor was a little puzzled. Hadn't he just returned from Mingde Hall?

Logically speaking, shouldn't his daughter-in-law be studying at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy with his daughter?

How did I suddenly end up in the palace? That's really strange!

After dismissing his attendants, the old emperor approached with curiosity and asked in a low voice, "Girl, didn't you just go to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy with Tianzhen? Why are you back now?!"

"Father, I have a request!" Qian Lingyun lifted her skirt, about to kneel before the old emperor, but he stopped her, saying, "Just tell me what you want. Don't kneel like that. If your mother sees you, I'll be in trouble!"

"Oh! It's like this, Father, I hope... that His Highness the Crown Prince can take a concubine!" Qian Lingyun said softly, her head lowered. Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the old emperor's expression changed, and he tentatively asked:

"Did Tianran bully you? If so, your father will teach him a lesson for you!"

"Father, you're overthinking it!" Qian Lingyun hurriedly waved her hand and explained, "His Highness the Crown Prince treats me extremely well; I have no complaints whatsoever!"

"If you have no complaints, then why did you allow him to take a concubine? It makes absolutely no sense!"

The old emperor frowned, realizing that things were not so simple!

Well! Looks like I'm definitely going to lose face today!

Thinking this, a blush crept across Qian Lingyun's face. In a barely audible voice, she slowly said, "His Highness the Crown Prince's health is a little too good!"

"The workload is too much for me to handle alone, so I'm looking for a concubine to share the burden..."

At this point, seeing Qian Lingyun's blushing face and shy expression, as if she wanted to bury her head in her chest, the old emperor finally understood.

It's because her son is so healthy!

What kind of nonsense is this!

He was terrified! He thought the young couple had just had a fight!

Thinking it over, he stroked his beard, looked at his understanding daughter-in-law with a half-smile, and teased, "So that's how it is! So, you went to Mingde Hall to study just to take a few days off, right?"

"Forget it, you don't need to ask about this anymore. I grant your request. You can find a concubine for Tianran yourself!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I take my leave now!"

With a flushed face, Qian Lingyun bowed to the old emperor, then covered her face with one hand and clutched the hem of her clothes with the other, running away as if her life depended on it.

Not long after, Qian Renxue, who was in the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, received an imperial edict from her adoptive father, the Emperor.

The message can be summed up in just four words: Quickly take a concubine!

Upon receiving the imperial edict, Qian Renxue's lips twitched, and she felt a pang of jealousy as she looked at Qian Lingyu, who was dozing off beside her.

She angrily crushed the teacup in her hand, sighing, "My dear Yun'er! You really leave no room for compromise! Do you really enjoy controlling other people's lives that much?"

Qian Lingyun, far away at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, would never know that Qian Renxue is now itching to rush over from the East Palace to beat her up.

She is very busy now, as she needs to send people to deliver Mingdetang's orders to the Rheinmetall Armory.

She also needs to personally go to the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters to prepare for the Holy Spirit Cult's grand martial arts competition next week with Feng Ling.

After retracting her clone, Qian Lingyun tossed the secret to the growth of the Charming Douluo to Xu Tianzhen, then made up an excuse and left.

"This Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is really big. Why doesn't anyone set up a ride-hailing service within the academy?"

While she was lost in thought, Qian Lingyun's communication device started beeping.

"Hello, who is this?!"

After the call was connected, Qian Lingyun said slowly and deliberately, "If you want to talk business with me, please give me your address directly, and I will come in person within three days."

"If this is my personal hairstylist, please don't rush me, I'll get back to you when I'm done!"

"if…"

"My lord, it is I!"

A slightly shy, hoarse female voice came from the communication device, causing Qian Lingyun to frown.

The voice sounded familiar to her; it seemed to belong to one of her holy servants, but she couldn't remember which place that servant came from.

"Give me your name, my lovely girl. If you don't, I swear I'll find you and kick your ass hard with the gold-plated toe of my high heels!"

Qian Lingyun spoke in a strange tone, leaving Hu Yanyunshan on the other end of the communicator completely bewildered.

After a long silence, Hu Yanyunshan cautiously replied, "My lord, I am Hu Yanyunshan, the one who went to Shrek Academy!"

"Oh! It's you! What's wrong? Did He Caitou break through to level 50 ahead of schedule?" Qian Lingyun straightened up, and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips.

He Caitou's head is worth a fortune! If we give his dog's head to our emperor eunuch, he'll be happy to settle the bill! Hehehe!

"No, my lord, it's a girl named Nan Qiuqiu. Not long ago, she actually joined the inner court with a cultivation level of four rings! I think it's necessary to report this to you..." Yun Shan said seriously.

Nan Qiuqiu? Is that the arrogant young lady?

Qian Lingyun hesitated for a moment, feeling a little surprised. This girl could enter Shrek Academy's inner courtyard with only a fourth-level ring, so she must be quite something!

"Okay, I got it. Just let me know if anything comes up. That's all the task I'm giving you. Once you're done, go do your own thing!"

"You're still young, you should learn to enjoy life. Why not try dating? If you pick a good one, I might consider reimbursing your dating expenses!"

Qian Lingyun chatted and joked with her subordinates, and as they talked, they arrived at the main gate of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

At the gate, the gatekeeper, who had never seen Qian Lingyun before, suspiciously stepped out from his post and blocked her path, asking, "Miss, I've never seen you before! Please wait a moment, tell me your name, class, and who your teacher is!"

"I am... Soul Extinction, a new member of the Mingde Hall. This is a special pass given to me by Hall Master Jing Hongchen!"

Qian Lingyun naturally wouldn't make things difficult for such a dutiful gatekeeper. Instead, she took out the access card that Jing Hongchen had given her and swiped it on the gate.

"Um... please wait a moment, let me check with my superiors!"

The gatekeeper was startled when he saw the highest-level access card in Qian Lingyun's hand and the pass issued by Jing Hongchen.

Whether the matter is true or false, it's not something a gatekeeper like him can decide. So he simply ran back to the gate and used the communicator to notify his superior.

When his superior rushed to Lin Jiayi's office, breathless, and confirmed the matter, he took the communicator from Lin Jiayi's office and notified the conscientious security guard:

"The access card and pass are genuine; they were given to us personally by the Master of the Red Dust Hall. Let them through quickly, don't keep the Crown Princess waiting too long!"

"Princess?!"

Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper was slightly taken aback, looking at the woman standing beside him in surprise. He hurriedly handed the items back, his voice trembling as he said, "I was blind and didn't recognize Her Highness the Crown Princess. Please forgive me!"

"It's okay, you're just doing your job, there's nothing to be surprised about!"

After putting away her access card and pass, Qian Lingyun turned and left the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, disappearing into the bustling streets.

A sorting warehouse of the Rheinmetall Arms Factory in Mindu…

"Master!"

Upon seeing Qian Lingyun, the evil spirit master responsible for guarding the gate hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

"Hmm, where is the Third Elder?!" Qian Lingyun looked around, satisfied with the busy Soul Masters around her.

This is the last batch of soul tools to be delivered to the Southern Lin Hai Army Group. After this batch is delivered, we will prepare soul tools for several other major clients.

"Master, the Third Elder has switched shifts with the Eighth Elder today!" the Soul Master on the left said cautiously.

The world is actually very small; almost the entire Holy Spirit Cult already knows about Zhongli Wu's death.

The instigator of all this, the former Holy Maiden and current leader, Qian Lingyun, is becoming increasingly sinister in the mouths of the Holy Spirit Cult's disciples.

Absurd feats like having three heads and six arms, being eight feet tall, and tearing apart titled Douluo with bare hands have caused quite a stir.

"Alright! Then take me inside and have a look. I remember the Third Elder hid someone here!"

And so, Qian Lingyun walked into a secret passage deep within the branch office, her hands behind her back.

Before she could even take a step, a dark shadow landed almost instantly in front of Qian Lingyun's feet, a putrid smell rose up, and green smoke filled the small area.

Only when the green smoke rose did two figures emerge from the shadows.

"Xiao Jiang, you're being too sensitive. It's so late at night, who knows if it's a mouse or a cat? Don't be so suspicious about the little noises. This place is almost riddled with holes by your corrosive poison balls." The speaker was a rather short evil spirit master with an iron-gray face and upturned nostrils.

"Hmph!" Xiao Jiang flicked her pinky finger, rolled her triangular eyes, and snorted disdainfully, revealing two buck teeth. "This is called being prepared. Didn't the Third Elder praise me for being quick-witted last time? Better to kill the wrong one than let the right one go. Who cares if it's a cat or a mouse? Mao Mao, you can't always be so careless. If the Third Elder finds out, you'll get whipped again."

"Hey! You two have disturbed the leader, what is your punishment?!"

The evil spirit master following Qian Lingyun was terrified. These two scoundrels were truly blind! The powerful sect leader was still standing there, and they were actually chatting!

"Brother Li, what did you say?! The cult leader?!"

The one named Xiao Jiang was the first to react. He rushed out of the secret passage, knelt down with a thud, and hurriedly pleaded, "This subordinate was blind and offended the leader. Please forgive me!"

"It's alright. If I were injured by you two Soul Kings, I might as well give up my position as sect leader!"

Qian Lingyun used her soul power to help the evil soul master up, and comforted him, "If everyone in my Holy Spirit Sect were as vigilant as you, how could I not flourish! Get up! Take me to see the woman the Third Elder is hiding!"

"Yes, yes, Mao Mao, hurry, open the door for the cult leader!"

The tongue-tied Mao Mao didn't say a word, but nodded vigorously. He quickly walked to the edge of the dark passage, and with a tap of his right foot on the ground, "Poof!" a stone slab shattered, followed by a rumbling sound.

On the smooth wall of the secret passage, a small door, large enough for one person to walk through in one direction, was revealed.

Even standing outside the secret passage, Qian Lingyun could still feel a chilling wind emanating from inside.

"Please come in, Master. Your subordinates will wait for you outside." After saying this, the two evil spirit masters turned and walked out.
