Gu Shenggo sipped the tea in his cup as eight pitch-black ten-thousand-year soul rings enveloped him, radiating a terrifyingly profound aura. Like a small mountain, they directly suppressed every member of the Shui Family in the hall except Lan Qingyan.
They all sprawled on the ground, kneeling like dogs, their spines forced down to the lowest point. They struggled to breathe, their faces filled with terror.
"E-Eight rings! A Soul Douluo powerhouse!!"
The fat elder knelt on the floor, trembling like a pig. Remembering how he had just brazenly mocked a Soul Douluo powerhouse, his vision went dark, and he nearly fainted from fright.
Bai Yujie knelt on the floor and looked at Gu Shenggo. Her shapely, alluring body lay prostrate on the ground, her peach-like buttocks raised high. Her seductive face had gone pale with fright, and her fox-like eyes were filled with shock. Eight ten-thousand-year soul rings—there was actually such a terrifying soul master on the continent!
The elders who had been urging Lan Qingyan to sacrifice herself for the Shui Family were panicking like hell. They had never expected Lan Qingyan to bring back a Soul Douluo powerhouse.
"Do you have any more doubts?"
Gu Shenggo looked at the elders sprawled on the ground, as well as Bai Yujie, and asked indifferently. Thick Ice Thorn Vines, like giant icy pythons, emerged and covered the entire hall, forming a cage. Cold air spread everywhere, piercing to the bone—colder even than the temperature outside.
The elders trembled in terror, afraid that the Ice Thorn Vines would attack them. Those incomparably sharp thorns filled their hearts with fear.
"Yes, yes, yes, the First Madam is right. With you here, a mere Soul Saint is nothing but an ant. We believe what the First Madam says."
"Exactly. You are a Soul Douluo powerhouse. Killing a Soul Saint would be effortless. We were foolish."
"Fourth Brother is right. It is our fault for failing to recognize your greatness and causing such a foolish incident."
One elder after another began cursing themselves for their stupidity. Some were even more extreme, slapping themselves across the face with loud smacks in exchange for Gu Shenggo's forgiveness.
Watching the elders make complete fools of themselves, Bai Yujie, kneeling nearby, revealed a mocking look in her seductive eyes. What a bunch of useless trash.
However, when she slightly turned her head to look at Lan Qingyan, who was watching them with disdain, jealousy filled her eyes. That woman had actually gone out and hooked herself a Soul Douluo powerhouse—what absurdly good luck!
She had thought she could use this chance to bring down Lan Qingyan, then join forces with her mother to take control of the Shui Family. Who would have thought that a Soul Douluo powerhouse would appear out of nowhere?
Elsewhere, in a spacious room, a mature beauty who was seductive and full of charm, dressed very scantily with only a thin layer of gauze wrapped around her voluptuous body, was teasing her granddaughter in her arms. She looked seventy percent similar to Bai Yujie.
Suddenly, the mature beauty sensed the powerful aura emanating from Gu Shenggo. Her expression changed drastically, and she abruptly released her granddaughter, leaving Shui Yue'er confused.
"What is it, Grandma?"
Hu Yun did not say much, only telling Shui Yue'er to go play with her sister.
"This aura... it belongs to a Titled Douluo!"
Hu Yun had once encountered a Titled Douluo powerhouse before, and the powerful aura that had appeared now was exactly the same. A Titled Douluo powerhouse had actually come to the residence!
That direction was where the residence's reception hall was located.
Without time to think further, Hu Yun rose from the bed, changed into a somewhat more conservative long dress that wrapped around her mature, voluptuous body, and quickly left the room for the reception hall.
Inside the hall.
Gu Shenggo withdrew his aura, though the eight profound black soul rings continued to slowly revolve around him. Even without that oppressive pressure, the elders and Bai Yujie still felt immense pressure and did not dare stand.
"Get up."
Gu Shenggo spoke indifferently. They immediately felt as though a great burden had been lifted and slowly rose to their feet, not daring to make any sudden movements for fear of displeasing him.
At the same time, a white figure rushed into the hall. It was Hu Yun.
Gu Shenggo also looked toward the mature beauty who had entered the hall and recognized her identity through Lan Qingyan's memories.
Bai Yujie's mother, a level sixty-one Soul Emperor. Her martial soul was also the Three-tailed Ice Fox, and she was one of the Shui Family's only two Soul Emperors.
Hu Yun was eight years older than Lan Qingyan, yet her daughter had married Lan Qingyan's husband as a concubine. This was also something Lan Qingyan could not accept.
Hu Yun looked seventy percent similar to Bai Yujie, but she had an oval face that was exquisite and seductive, adorned with light makeup. Fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes bore the traces of time, adding to her abundant charm. Her lips were full and rosy, while a white neckband encircled her slender swan-like neck.
Her skin was snowy white and as smooth and tender as a young girl's. A white, semi-transparent long dress wrapped around her plump, full body. Her jade-like arms were white as lotus roots, her breasts rose in magnificent swells, and she had a classic hourglass figure. Her waist was as slender as Bai Yujie's, not at all plump, while her buttocks were large, round, and full. Her plump jade legs showed beneath her dress, fair and rosy, and her high heels struck the floor with crisp sounds.
Hu Yun looked at her daughter, who had just risen from the ground, and was about to ask what had happened when she saw the eight black soul rings surrounding Gu Shenggo. She was instantly stunned, and shock appeared on her mature, seductive face.
She immediately understood where the powerful aura comparable to that of a Titled Douluo had come from.
The mature beauty respectfully bent her voluptuous body toward Gu Shenggo. A pleasing smile appeared on her mature, seductive face as she respectfully called out, "Level sixty-one Soul Emperor Hu Yun greets Your Excellency."
Seeing the mature beauty looking at him with a flattering expression, Gu Shenggo set down his teacup and examined her. She looked pretty good—mature and seductive, voluptuous and beautiful. She could be considered high-quality goods.
Upon hearing her mother call Gu Shenggo "Your Excellency," Bai Yujie's eyes filled with confusion. On the Douluo Continent, only Titled Douluo were qualified to be addressed as "Your Excellency."
"I'm only a Soul Douluo right now. It's a little early for you to call me that."
Hu Yun looked at the eight ten-thousand-year soul rings revolving around Gu Shenggo, her heart trembling. This was even more terrifying than a Titled Douluo. She continued flattering him, "Respected Your Excellency, with your strength, it will not be long before you become a Titled Douluo. Whether I call you that early or late, I'll still be calling you that."
"You're very smart, and your tongue is sweet. I like that."
Gu Shenggo glanced at the mature beauty, who was treating him with utmost respect, and praised her. Hu Yun inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing Gu Shenggo praise her sweet tongue, joy immediately appeared on her seductive, beautiful face.
To receive praise from a powerhouse on the verge of becoming a Titled Douluo was truly an honor for her.
That was power. Even though there was at least two generations' worth of age difference between Gu Shenggo and Hu Yun, and Hu Yun was clearly the elder, she still had to greet Gu Shenggo with a smile. Even if Gu Shenggo ordered her to lie on the ground and bark like a dog, Hu Yun would probably comply.
Because on the Douluo Continent, the strong were honored, while the weak had no status.
"Madam Lan and I are friends. At her invitation, I came to resolve the Shui Family's troubles. I will be staying with the Shui Family for some time. You have no objections, do you?"
Gu Shenggo looked at Hu Yun, Bai Yujie, and the elders as he spoke. Hu Yun was the first to nod in agreement, and the others all expressed that they had no objections.
Seeing this, Lan Qingyan revealed a proud smile. What a bunch of trash. Before absolute strength, they still had to obediently act like dogs.
