The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 257 Eye Drops and Revenge

Qian Renxue noticed Li Xun entering the study as soon as he did, and rolled her eyes at him, asking, "If I said I was disturbing you, would you leave?"

Qian Renxue has been on the throne for a long time, and most of the people in the palace have been replaced. Now, except when she appears as Xue Qinghe during court assemblies, she usually maintains her original appearance.

Compared to a few years ago, Qian Renxue is now more charming, but she still retains a touch of naivety.

"When did you learn to kick people out, Senior Sister?" Li Xun chuckled and found a place to sit down near Qian Renxue.

"Because you'll definitely have something to do when you arrive, and it'll most likely not be anything good."

Qian Renxue put down her pen, stretched her tired body backward, and caught Li Xun's restless gaze out of the corner of her eye. She smiled and said, "So, what bad news have you brought this time?"

"Senior sister, that's pure slander. Teacher has always called me a lucky star." Seeing that Qian Renxue seemed to have noticed his gaze, Li Xun decided to openly admire her.

Qian Renxue was no match for Li Xun's thick skin, and she quickly gave in, sitting up straight: "Since you're a lucky star, tell me what good news you've brought. Don't tell me you're here to help me."

"There really is some good news." Li Xun immediately recounted the story of Sword Douluo's breakthrough.

"Really!" Qian Renxue was overjoyed, and her tone became a little more enthusiastic. Seeing Li Xun nod, her face beamed with a smile.

She knew why Chrysanthemum Douluo came to Tian Dou, and she had clearly stated that Bibi Dong didn't need to interfere, but in reality, she wasn't that confident.

No one knew the power within the Spirit Hall better than her. If Bibi Dong and her grandfather stood together, even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would not be able to withstand the pressure from the Spirit Hall.

But now that Sword Douluo has broken through to level 98, everything will change. Even her grandfather, for the sake of the Spirit Hall's future, cannot blindly favor Bibi Dong.

Qian Renxue stood up happily, picked up the food box from the table, and placed it in front of Li Xun: "This is indeed good news, a reward for you."

"Senior sister, don't be too happy yet. You also need to be prepared that His Holiness the Pope will continue to exert pressure." Seeing Qian Renxue's eagerness, Li Xun poured cold water on her.

"It's alright, you just continue with your work, leave the rest to me." Upon hearing the word "Pope," Qian Renxue's joy was immediately halved.

Li Xun nodded, saying nothing more. Using too much eye drops can easily backfire.

Then, the two seemed to have forgotten about Bibi Dong and started chatting about everyday things again, just like when they were children. However, when they talked about cultivation levels, some unpleasantness occurred.

The incident began when Li Xun, upon learning of Qian Renxue's current cultivation level, inappropriately rolled his eyes, which was witnessed by Qian Renxue, whose soul power had just reached level sixty-nine.

This was like stirring up a hornet's nest, and Li Xun was bombarded with criticism.

But the argument between the two was quickly quelled by the two red spirit rings shining at Li Xun's feet.

Heaven Dou City, the headquarters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, this is Chrysanthemum Douluo's third time here.

Bibi Dong's order was for Tian Dou to remain silent and await orders from the Spirit Hall.

However, Qian Renxue had already clearly refused this order, so Chrysanthemum Douluo had no choice but to take a different approach and focus his main target on Ning Fengzhi.

But Ning Fengzhi had been dodging the question the previous two times. This time, he insisted on getting a clear answer so he could go back and deal with His Holiness the Pope.

Chrysanthemum Douluo put down his teacup impatiently: "Old Poisoner, I've been waiting for two hours. Is Ning Fengzhi playing a trick on me? Why hasn't he returned yet?"

"The sect leader has gone out on business. He will naturally return once the matter is settled," Dugu Bo said in a nonchalant tone.

Chrysanthemum Douluo was taken aback upon hearing this. He sensed that something was amiss today, and squinted as he looked Dugu Bo up and down: "Old Poisoner, what do you mean? I am here on the orders of His Holiness the Pope."

"I know you were sent by the Pope, but what can I do when the sect leader is out?" Dugu Bo noticed Chrysanthemum Douluo's gaze and retorted in the same manner.

Since breaking through to level 95, he had wanted to find an opportunity to deal with Kiku and Kiku more than once, but he held back for the sake of the bigger picture.

Now that both Ning Fengzhi and Li Xun agree that he should take action, it suits his wishes perfectly.

However, after thinking about it, Dugu Bo still felt that he couldn't make things too obvious, so he remained somewhat restrained in his words and did not directly provoke him.

But who is Chrysanthemum Douluo? He has followed Bibi Dong for many years and has long since developed the ability to read people's expressions. Poison Douluo's clumsy performance immediately aroused his vigilance.

My mind instantly began to analyze the current situation.

Before he could think of anything, he noticed the Poison Douluo's undisguised gaze and frowned, "Old Poison, what do you mean?"

"What, Chrysanthemum Douluo? You're allowed to look at me, but I'm not allowed to look at you." Poison Douluo was not afraid at all and met Chrysanthemum Douluo's gaze.

The two of them stared at each other, locked in a stalemate, and the atmosphere around them began to become oppressive.

After a long while, the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding and got up at the same time.

"Old man, I think you're deliberately picking a fight. Haven't you learned your lesson from the past?" Chrysanthemum Douluo sneered.

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

Dugu Bo snorted coldly: "I think you're the one here to cause trouble. But since you brought up the past, why don't we go outside and try?"

Their eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight. Without another word, they pushed open the window and flew out one after the other.

Outside Tiandou City, the two faced off in the air.

"Old man, I knew long ago that your soul power had broken through to level 94, but if you think that makes you a match for me, you're sorely mistaken."

"Martial Soul True Form." Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes flashed with a cold light, and a giant, extraordinary chrysanthemum bloomed from the sky.

Poison Douluo laughed heartily, his soul power surging, and a giant, jet-black and emerald-green python, about twenty-five meters long, appeared from the ground: "Chrysanthemum Pass, your intelligence is outdated."

After saying that, the giant python lashed out with its tail, whistling as it struck Chrysanthemum Douluo's face.

"When did you break through to level 95?" Chrysanthemum Douluo was astonished to notice the fluctuations in Poison Douluo's soul power. He hadn't expected that the other party had made such a great improvement in the past few years.

However, given the current situation, he had no time to think further: "So that's why you're acting so strangely today. You want revenge for what happened back then, but do you really think you can defeat me just because you've reached level 95?"

"Fifth Soul Skill, Gathering of Cold Essence".

Petals appeared in the air, then a gentle breeze swept by, and Chrysanthemum Douluo's figure vanished instantly, easily dodging the impending attack.

Thud—

The snake's tail lashed out with unparalleled force, shattering petals along its path with the shockwave.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Golden Stamens Flowing with Rosy Clouds".

Chrysanthemum Douluo appeared behind Dugu Bo, and the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum slowly bloomed, with petals like crescent blades attacking Dugu Bo.
