A Title Douluo Cried

"This..."

Hearing the sound, everyone hurriedly turned to look.

They saw the skinny black-robed man sprawled face-down on the ground, utterly motionless, his face embedded directly in the earth.

The hood covering his head had been torn to shreds, exposing his disheveled hair. Dust and dirt covered his head, even burying more than half his neck.

His miserable state made everyone's hearts pound in fear, yet no one went to save him.

At the very least, he could still make a sound. The burly black-robed man beside him had gone completely silent.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Earth-and-Stone Great Hand!"

A massive hand formed from earth and stone suddenly appeared. It swiftly dug into the ground and pulled out the burly black-robed man. But upon seeing his condition, everyone gasped sharply.

"That's too miserable. Even his face got smashed crooked."

"Look at the teeth on the ground. They're probably all his."

"No way? There are nearly twenty teeth down there."

"Most of them fell out. What else could it be?"

"Gasp!!"

The surrounding guards felt chills run down their backs as they realized the terror of Green Fatty.

At the same time, they thought of what would have happened if Green Fatty had smashed them instead. Their fate would have been even more miserable.

The guards swallowed fearfully, secretly grateful.

"Good thing it wasn't me," someone muttered softly, drawing everyone's gaze.

"Cough, cough, cough. Hurry and save them, hurry!" The man hastily changed the subject and began helping the skinny black-robed man.

A moment later.

The two black-robed men were finally pulled out, but neither could move. They had nearly been smashed beyond human shape.

However.

Although they had been beaten terribly, neither of them had cried out in pain even once.

Even though their noses ached so badly that they wanted to cry, the two black-robed men still endured it through sheer willpower.

Such resolve earned the guards' respect. Even Qian Renxue felt somewhat impressed.

After being struck a few times by the big monster, her buttocks still burned with pain. It hurt so badly that she could not help crying out.

Yet these two black-robed men had their faces smashed crooked and still endured without crying out. Such willpower won the admiration of everyone present.

But just then.

Just as everyone was admiring them.

The skinny black-robed man suddenly began to cry, sobbing hysterically without stop.

"What are you crying for? You're crying over this little pain? I misjudged you," the other burly black-robed man scolded, sounding disappointed.

"What the hell do you know? My Spatial Bracelet is gone! It had my life's savings in it! It's all gone now! You damned monster, I hate you! I hate you!!"

The skinny black-robed man howled hysterically, tears pouring down his face. He did not care about the injuries on his body at all. Even if an arm had been chopped off, he would not have furrowed his brow.

But.

The Spatial Bracelet contained the treasures he had accumulated over a lifetime. Everything he owned was inside, yet it was all gone now. How could he not cry?

"Spatial Bracelet?"

The burly black-robed man's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. He hurriedly looked at his belt, and then his pupils suddenly shrank.

"My belt! My belt!!"

Another sob suddenly rang out, even more hysterical and heart-wrenching. Those close to him grieved, while his enemies rejoiced; anyone who heard it could only sigh.

The guards looked at the two black-robed men with sympathy, silently lamenting their tragic fate.

Then the guards suddenly noticed.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was staring at the little finger of his left hand, standing there blankly and motionlessly like a wooden goose.

Faintly, they could see a pale mark left by a ring on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's little finger, but the ring itself had vanished.

At that moment, everyone understood something and did not dare say a word.

"Take them for treatment. Also, continue gathering intelligence on Green Fatty. Report immediately if there is any news."

"Yes!"

Watching her subordinates leave, Qian Renxue staggered toward her bedchamber.

She needed to find somewhere quiet, because she wanted to cry too.

Not from heartache, but from embarrassment and anger.

The money in her ring was secondary. What truly mattered were her clothes—countless women's garments, including many intimate items.

And now, all of those things were gone. They had been stolen. It was an incredibly severe blow to her.

At the thought of her intimate clothing being taken away, she was so embarrassed and enraged that she wanted to hit someone.

"Damn it, this is too damnable."

Qian Renxue clenched her little white teeth and balled her small fists in humiliation and anger. She felt utterly miserable, on the verge of going mad.

Elsewhere.

Poison Douluo, Dugu Yan, and Green Fatty finally met.

With Dugu Yan's persuasion, the two sides successfully completed the transaction for the title of Earl.

Then, Green Fatty ran off with a series of heavy thumps.

Only after watching Green Fatty disappear completely into the distance did Poison Douluo realize that his back was soaked with sweat and his forehead covered in cold perspiration.

"Grandfather, hurry and pretend to chase Green Fatty. This is the perfect time to build your reputation," Dugu Yan said urgently.

"Chase him? That won't do. What if Green Fatty suddenly beats me up? Wouldn't I just be asking for trouble?" Poison Douluo shook his head, completely intimidated.

"Don't worry. Since he made a deal with me, he definitely won't smash you. Go on, summon your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor and pretend to chase him, or it'll be too late."

"Alright, I'll summon it right away."

Poison Douluo immediately summoned his martial soul. It was a majestic, enormous Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor that inspired awe at first sight.

"Go, Grandfather."

"Alright!"

Poison Douluo swallowed and controlled the imposing Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor as it set off, chasing after Green Fatty with terrifying momentum.

He pursued him all the way from the imperial palace to the city gates before finally stopping.

During that pursuit, countless people saw his heroic figure and all believed that he had driven Green Fatty away.

Everyone cheered for him and applauded his victory.

But no one knew how terrified Poison Douluo had been throughout the chase, afraid that Green Fatty would suddenly turn around and pummel him.

Fortunately.

His granddaughter had made a deal with Green Fatty, which made Poison Douluo vaguely feel that Green Fatty regarded his granddaughter differently.

If he really becomes my granddaughter's husband, what would I have left to fear in this world?

Poison Douluo's eyes suddenly lit up. He felt that the foolish words he had blurted out back then had been an inspired stroke.

Wait, my granddaughter has to like him too. I can't sacrifice her happiness because of his strength. Let her freely find her other half. I'll just silently give her my blessing.

Poison Douluo shook his head, deciding not to mention the matter. Amid the cheers of countless people, he returned.

Outside Heaven Dou City, in an uninhabited forest.

Li Xuan reverted from his Green Fatty state, completely leaving the Experience Card state.

Ding! Experience complete. You have obtained 5% Super Recovery.

"Super Recovery? Not bad. Unfortunately, searching the treasury for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud took too much time, so I could only empty out the treasury."
