Douluo's Bone Transforms into a Divine Dragon

Chapter 229 Departure to the Stars, Dugu Yan Makes Her Move

Gu Xuan took Xue Ke back to the palace. Gu Rong was still there, so Gu Xuan told Emperor Xue Ye his thoughts.

After hearing Gu Xuan's words, Emperor Xueye immediately agreed with a wave of his hand.

He wasn't a pedantic person, and Gu Xuan was naturally gifted. If Xue Ke cultivated with Gu Xuan, her future progress would naturally be much faster.

After all, Xueke is his daughter, and it would be good for her if Xueke became powerful in the future.

After confirming Xue Ke's situation, Gu Xuan took Xue Ke to find Dugu Yan and the others, leaving Gu Rong and Emperor Xue Ye to chat.

Emperor Xueye didn't say anything about this, after all, it's good for young people to get to know each other better.

Dugu Yan and the others were resting at the hotel when they saw Gu Xuan return. They were all overjoyed and went to greet him. Then they saw Xue Ke following behind Gu Xuan.

Dugu Yan, Li Li, and Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xue Ke. It was the first time any of them had seen this girl, and they had to admit that Xue Ke's looks and figure were quite stunning.

Besides, if it weren't for that, Gu Xuan probably wouldn't have chosen to marry into the royal family, right? After all, that little lecher Gu Xuan is a sucker for good looks!

On the way, Gu Xuan had already introduced Dugu Yan and the others to Xue Ke. Now that she saw them in person, Xue Ke recognized them immediately.

"Eldest sister, third sister, fourth sister, fifth sister, I am Xue Ke, the seventh fiancée of Brother Gu Xuan," Xue Ke said timidly.

Upon hearing Xue Ke's self-introduction, the three women were slightly taken aback, and then looked at Gu Xuan with unfriendly eyes.

Gu Xuan chuckled, then said calmly, "Yanzi, Rongrong, Lili, Zhuqing, from now on we're all family, so don't look at me like that."

Although the four women, including Dugu Yan, were quite helpless that Gu Xuan had brought Xue Ke along, they did not give Xue Ke any trouble.

Dugu Yan smiled and said, "Come in and have a seat."

Then the four women started chatting with Xue Ke. They were all Gu Xuan's women, so there was nothing else going on between them, and the women quickly became familiar with each other.

Then Gu Xuan took Xue Ke to another room and gave her the Radiant Illumination Pill.

After she absorbed the pill, it was estimated that breaking through to level 40 wouldn't be a problem, and then Gu Xuan took her with him to directly obtain the fourth soul ring.

While Xue Ke was absorbing the pills, Gu Xuan returned to the room where Dugu Yan and the other three women were. He smiled slightly at them and said, "Don't worry, I already told you about Xue Ke's situation before. I promise there won't be any other girls involved in the future."

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's guarantee, the four women all rolled their eyes in unison. Unless the sun rises in the west, Gu Xuan, that scoundrel, would definitely accept anyone who came his way.

Fortunately, Dugu Yan would be with Gu Xuan in his cultivation plan, so with someone watching over him, Gu Xuan wouldn't be able to get close to the girl.

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door. Gu Xuan got up from Dugu Yan's arms and opened the door. Xue Ke stood at the door with an excited look on her face.

The moment Xue Ke saw Gu Xuan, she rushed into his arms: "Brother Gu Xuan, thank you! Because of this pill, my soul power has broken through to level forty!"

Xue Ke is not even sixteen years old yet, but her soul power is already at level forty. This talent can be described as incredibly heaven-defying, so how could she not be excited?

Gu Xuan didn't dare to hold Xue Ke for too long, after all, there were four pairs of eyes watching from behind. Pulling Gu Xuan off her, Gu Xuan patted her little head and said softly, "Don't be smug. Your eldest sister is already level 60, and your third, fourth, and fifth sisters are all level 50. They are about the same age as you. You will need to work harder to catch up with them in the future."

Xue Ke was slightly surprised when she heard this. Although she had already guessed that Brother Gu Xuan's fiancées were not only beautiful but also exceptionally talented, Xue Ke never expected that their talents would be so terrifying!

Xue Ke nodded earnestly and replied, "I will work hard in my cultivation and definitely won't fall behind my sisters!"

Gu Xuan nodded in satisfaction, then led Xue Ke to sit on the sofa. Gu Xuan said, "Let's rest for one night, and we'll set off for the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow morning."

The five women nodded seriously, and then Gu Xuan began to cultivate on the sofa by himself.

There was no other way. Facing five fiancées, Xue Ke was too embarrassed to be too proactive since they had just met, but the other four women were different; they could easily take advantage of Gu Xuan.

Despite Zhu Zhuqing's shyness in front of outsiders, she is just as proactive when she is with Gu Xuan and the others. After all, if she is not proactive enough, the opportunity will be snatched away by others.

The next day, Gu Xuan led the five women directly to the Star Dou Great Forest without any delays along the way.

The reason they went to the Star Dou Great Forest instead of the nearby Sunset Forest was because when Dugu Yan and the others were about to break through their current level, Gu Xuan sent people to the Star Dou Great Forest to search for soul rings that matched their abilities.

Now, apart from Xue Ke, Gu Xuan has already determined the locations of the soul rings of the other three girls, including Dugu Yan. All he needs to do is hunt them down.

Ning Rongrong didn't need to acquire a soul ring; she followed Gu Xuan only to learn how to use the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

She was about to head to Poseidon Island and needed to familiarize herself with the Vast Ocean Universe Cover as soon as possible.

The reason they didn't bring the soul beasts back was that even Zhu Zhuqing and Li Li had already broken through to level 50, and both of them had absorbed soul rings beyond their level, so capturing them would have been too much of a waste of manpower and resources, and it wasn't necessary.

After all, if Dugu Yan and the others go on their own, they can not only gain experience along the way, but also try to kill the enemies themselves, which will also have a training effect.

Starting from Tiandou City, the group arrived at their destination in just half a month.

On the way, Gu Xuan also personally taught Ning Rongrong the power of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, and Ning Rongrong quickly became familiar with it.

Upon arriving at the Star Dou Great Forest, the first soul beast they were to hunt was a Purple Nether Serpent King, a level 43,000 years old. This was the sixth soul ring they chose for Dugu Yan.

With a map, Gu Xuan was able to locate the Purple Nether Serpent King in just three days after entering the Star Dou Great Forest, and then led the five women to hunt it down.

With Gu Xuan's current strength and his powerful spatial abilities, as long as he doesn't encounter any 100,000-year-old soul beasts, it shouldn't be a problem for him to leave safely with the five women.

Even if they encountered a 100,000-year-old soul beast, Gu Xuan was able to lead them to escape, after all, the second soul skill of his sixth soul ring was not just for show.

Gu Xuan led the five women to a canyon deep within the Star Dou Great Forest and located the Purple Nether Serpent King, while Dugu Yan went alone.

Gu Xuan did not plan to make a move for the time being, because he wanted to see how Dugu Yan's current strength would be demonstrated.

Without any pretense, Dugu Yan charged straight at the Purple Nether Serpent King.

Gu Xuan, along with Ning Rongrong, Li Li, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xue Ke, watched Dugu Yan's movements from high above.

After entering the canyon, Dugu Yan immediately released her martial spirit.

Five spirit rings—two yellow, one purple, and two black—rose from her body, and her long, straight, jade-like legs transformed into a snake tail, making her appear as an exotic snake woman, further enhancing her allure and charm.

This canyon contains not only the Purple Nether Serpent King, but also its hundreds of offspring and descendants. However, apart from the Purple Nether Serpent King, only three female serpents are barely ten thousand years old.

As Dugu Yan released her martial spirit, the power she exuded directly suppressed the snakes, causing them to prostrate themselves on the ground, too afraid to move. Even the three female snakes that had broken through the ten-thousand-year level were in the same situation.

This is the domineering nature of the Ancestral Martial Soul, which has an absolute suppressive effect on owners of snake-type Martial Souls and snake-type Soul Beasts.

Faced with the fully unleashed power of Dugu Yan, only the Purple Nether Serpent King, a soul beast, was still struggling to hold on, because it knew that Dugu Yan had come to hunt down its soul ring.

Feeling the suppression that seemed to come from the ancestor of all snakes, the Purple Nether Serpent King's combat power was greatly reduced.

However, Dugu Yan naturally wouldn't hold back. After getting close to the Purple Nether Serpent King, Dugu Yan launched an attack immediately.

The Purple Nether Serpent is also a highly venomous snake-type spirit beast, and the Purple Nether Serpent King's venom is even more terrifying, so Dugu Yan had no intention of using the venom to attack the Purple Nether Serpent King.

The first yellow spirit ring on Dugu Yan's body lit up immediately.

After consuming the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red, her soul skills underwent corresponding changes.

Dugu Yan's first soul skill is called Serpent Spirit Source. This soul skill itself does not have any powerful poison, but if it is inhaled by someone, Dugu Yan can use the poison that enters the other person's body to extract their life force.

The life force extracted from her can be used by Dugu Yan to restore herself or to heal others.

After inhaling the poisonous mist, the Purple Serpent King discovered that the venom of Dugu Yan was less than one-tenth as potent as its own, and it immediately felt the urge to fight back.

P.S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
