The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 119 Pampering is not about doing whatever you want

"Permanently existing?"

Sword Douluo tapped the azure spear with his finger, then tentatively tried to bend it, but the spear didn't budge an inch. There was no sign of it breaking.

Click—

Sword Douluo immediately increased his strength, and as the power reached a certain level, the azure spear snapped in two.

Looking at the spear broken in two in his hand: "This spear can withstand a force of about level 70. However, you can't just look at that; you also need to consider the enhancement that spirit rings provide to a spirit master."

Li Xun nodded upon hearing this. He wasn't arrogant enough to look down on other powerful individuals.

With a thought, the ground, along with the azure spear in Sword Douluo's hand, instantly turned into blue dust, leaving only a few blue seeds.

"Can this seed still grow?" Sword Douluo asked curiously, holding the seed up to his eyes.

"Sure, but without my soul power to activate it, it might take a long time."

"That's quite interesting." Sword Douluo smiled and put the seed away. "Any other abilities?"

"there is none left"

Li Xun glanced at Sword Douluo, then at Dugu Bo beside him: "We've been out for quite a while now, let's go back to the sect."

Without waiting for the two, he picked up the remaining seeds of the Blue Silver King from the ground and quickly took to the air.

"You brat, I still have your Blue Silver Emperor bonsai." Dugu Bo sneered and chased after him in a flash.

"Grandpa Dugu, please hold this for me first, and give it back to me when we get back to the sect," Li Xun called out without turning his head, eager to return home.

"Xiao Xun, since you're in such a hurry to return to the sect, let me give you a ride to speed things up." Sword Douluo's third spirit ring lit up, instantly increasing his speed, and he arrived beside Li Xun in the blink of an eye, flying alongside him.

"No need, Grandpa Sword, I'm pretty fast this way too." Li Xun chuckled and quickly declined Sword Douluo's offer.

"He hasn't gotten that old, but he's become more and more polite."

Sword Douluo grabbed Li Xun by the back of his collar and pulled him in front of him: "No matter how fast your cultivation progresses, or how high the age of your soul rings you absorb, aren't you still just a child in front of Grandpa Sword?"

"Yes, yes, Grandpa Jian is right." Feeling the strong hands on his shoulders, Li Xun nodded obediently.

"Poison Master, don't rush. I'll take him for a while, then it'll be your turn." Sword Douluo smiled at Dugu Bo, who was rushing to his side.

Dugu Bo rubbed his hands together and grinned, "It's alright, you go first."

"What are you trying to do?! Ah!!"

Before Li Xun could finish speaking, Sword Douluo steered his flying sword into the sky in a rapid spiral. In an instant, it transformed into a black dot in the sky.

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

"I heard Xiaoxue is back?" Pope Bibi Dong glanced at the documents in her hand and then casually looked at the people below.

Chrysanthemum Douluo, with his hand on his chest, bowed and carefully considered his words: "Yes, we are currently at the Grand Priest's place."

"Hmph!" Bibi Dong casually tossed the documents in her hand onto the table. "I heard she's been having close ties with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School lately?"

"Yes." Chrysanthemum Douluo straightened up, not daring to look up: "It was Salas who introduced him."

"This good-for-nothing doesn't even know what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is up to, yet he's acting as a go-between for some money."

Bibi Dong's eyes turned cold: "Someone reported that Salas abused his position to amass wealth and control the promotion channels of the branch halls. He is to be sent back to Wuhun City to report on his duties."

"You and Ghost Douluo will temporarily assume the duties of bishops of the Heaven Dou Temple and closely monitor the actions of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"First the Broken Clan, then Dugu Bo, and now he's courting the various bishops. What is Ning Fengzhi up to?!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo cautiously glanced at Bibi Dong. "Your Majesty, I have received intelligence that the Dragon-Snake Clan has recently been in contact with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Heh, Ning Fengzhi has been allied with the three upper sects for so many years, and now he's actually starting to care about these small families?"

Bibi Dong sneered, "After years of secretly clashing with the Spirit Hall, they've suddenly started to align themselves with us. This unusual behavior must have a purpose. Go and get to work."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chrysanthemum Douluo bowed respectfully, then slowly walked out of the hall.

Bibi Dong rubbed her forehead, lost in thought.

Shortly after, he got up and walked out of the Papal Palace toward the Hall of Worship.

"Grandpa, I've reached an agreement with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. As long as I hand over Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to them, they will be incorporated into the Spirit Hall." Qian Renxue smiled and said to Qian Daoliu, "Moreover, they will guarantee not to harm the lives of the two elders."

She had already received news that Li Xun was going to advance to the Soul King level.

The other party has already demonstrated qualities worthy of my attention. This time, I returned to Wuhun City to discuss with my grandfather the matter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School joining the Wuhun Hall.

"Xiaoxue, you're still too naive. If the Spirit Hall were to hand over two elders just to get them to join, not only would it lose face, but the people below would also be disheartened."

"And it would be terrible if something were to happen to either of the elders."

Qian Daoliu frowned and pondered for a moment: "Since the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is interested in joining the Spirit Hall, how about we ask them to change their terms? Soul bones or something else would be fine."

"Grandpa, don't worry, I've thought it over. This matter won't have any impact on our temple."

Qian Renxue smiled faintly and tugged at Qian Daoliu's sleeve: "Even if Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo fall into their hands, they shouldn't suffer any serious harm. At most, they'll just suffer some physical pain."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue with some surprise: "What do you mean by that?"

"Grandpa, the fact that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School intends to join our Martial Soul Temple proves that they have already made up their minds internally."

Qian Renxue looked up at the towering angel statue: "And Dugu Bo will inevitably be affected by it in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Now is a crucial moment for our cooperation. I believe Dugu Bo will make a choice for the greater good."

"Xiaoxue has really grown up." Qian Daoliu suddenly laughed, looking at Qian Renxue with a loving expression. "But Grandpa still can't agree to your request."

"They are now Bibi Dong's people. What you need to consider is what to do if Dugu Bo suddenly decides to kill the two elders."

"Grandpa, it was because they were Bibi Dong's people that I agreed to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's conditions."

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu mention Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue's eyes filled with complex emotions, and her expression gradually turned cold: "Grandpa, the Spirit Hall belongs to our Qian family. Why are you always so concerned about Bibi Dong?"

"Xiaoxue, you're still young. What you need to do is grow up quickly. You'll naturally know everything then," Qian Daoliu sighed.

"But I've already agreed, so Grandpa, aren't you going to help me either?" Qian Renxue looked at Qian Daoliu in astonishment.

But then she noticed a look of worry on her grandfather's face. Qian Renxue was startled and quickly hugged Qian Daoliu's arm, pressing her head against it: "Grandpa, why?"

"For the future of the Spirit Hall." Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue, who was hugging him and acting coquettishly, and comforted her, "In this world, the strong prey on the weak, and the strong are respected in the end. Only when you become so strong that you are invincible can you do whatever you want."

"Go, Xiaoxue, persuade Bibi Dong or get Ning Fengzhi to change the terms. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is indeed a great help, and that child named Li Xun is indeed a genius."

"But risking the abandonment of two elders is too high a price to pay. If Ning Fengzhi could change the terms, I believe it would benefit both the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Now I'm going to test Xiaoxue's adaptability."

The brief moment of peace could not stop the departing figure. Qian Daoliu watched Qian Renxue walk away, his eyes filled with reluctance.

If he hadn't been increasingly unable to see through Bibi Dong, how could he have agreed to let Xiaoxue go to Tiandou to do some kind of undercover work at such a young age?

After all, given Bibi Dong's hatred for Qian Xunji and him back then, she might very well transfer that anger onto Qian Renxue.

However, after so many years, Bibi Dong's emotions have stabilized, and Xiaoxue should be out of danger.

"You're back."

A clear, cold voice, tinged with an ambiguous meaning, rang out from behind Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue paused, slowly turned around, and looked at Bibi Dong expressionlessly: "What do you want, Your Holiness?"

PS: This chapter may be controversial. My plot is based on the original story where Qian Renxue's infiltration plan failed, and she and Bibi Dong were to separately command Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall, but he refused. For details, please see Chapter 198 of the original novel: The Origins of the Three Peerless Douluo.
