Dou Huang! (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Star Luo Empire.

Prince's Residence.

"Report! Miss Zhu requests an audience!"

The guard's voice had barely fallen when Dai Weisi's door was already knocked on.

"Enter."

Dai Weisi looked toward the door and saw Zhu Zhuyun push it open and walk in, her expression anxious.

"Zhuyun, calm yourself."

Dai Weisi's expression was calm, as if nothing in the world could startle him.

But Zhu Zhuyun was still unsettled.

"Do you know what news I just received? That dear little sister of mine actually latched onto a Title Douluo! How do you expect me to stay calm?"

"A Title Douluo? Isn't that a good thing?" Dai Weisi pulled Zhu Zhuyun over. "Title Douluos are extremely rare even in our Star Luo Empire. If your sister can win over a Title Douluo for our royal family, isn't that good?"

As he saw it, Zhu Zhuqing was still a member of the Zhu Family. A Title Douluo she won over was basically one their royal family had won over, wasn't it?

What capital did Zhu Zhuqing have to win over a Title Douluo?

Aside from herself, Dai Weisi truly could not think of anything else.

And Zhu Zhuqing, who already belonged to someone outside the Dai Family, was fundamentally unqualified to compete for the Imperial Throne.

Did Zhu Zhuyun not understand that?

No. In truth, she understood it better than anyone, but she could not bring herself to believe that the little sister she had crippled had actually latched onto a Title Douluo!

She had clearly only raised her Soul Power by six ranks in six years, and whenever she met Zhu Zhuyun, she was always so timid and shrinking. Zhu Zhuyun could not believe that such a Zhu Zhuqing could pull off something like this!

The instant she learned of this matter, the worst possible guess appeared in her mind.

For the past six years, all of her dear little sister's weakness had been an act!

And that led to the next question.

Why had she pretended to be trash?

Because back then, she had no way to oppose her!

Then why had she revealed herself now?

Because she already had the capital to oppose her!

The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became!

Especially...

"If that little sister of mine whispers sweet nothings into his ear and gets a Title Douluo to kill me, I have no confidence in escaping from a Title Douluo!"

This was what worried her most. Considering how much harm she had done to Zhu Zhuqing, if anyone said Zhu Zhuqing did not hate her deep down, she would rather believe she could become a Title Douluo on the spot.

In other words, she was very likely to face an assassination by a Title Douluo!

Just thinking about it made her scalp go numb.

Dai Weisi comforted her. "Don't worry. Within the Imperial City, even if he is a Title Douluo, he must obediently follow the rules of our royal family. If he dares make a move, he'll die!"

"A Title Douluo won't be willing to trade his life with someone else's."

"What if I'm not in the Imperial City?"

Zhu Zhuyun was not comforted. It was not as if she could stay in the Imperial City for the rest of her life, right?

If she went out, then she would have to worry every second that a Title Douluo might suddenly pop out and slap her to death!

Dai Weisi's originally haughty gaze suddenly froze. Immediately after, he laughed again.

"We can't handle this matter, but we can handle the person causing the problem!"

"It's just a pity about that Title Douluo if we do."

Zhu Zhuyun leaned intimately against Dai Weisi's chest, her voice carrying a note of grievance. "Am I more important, or is a Title Douluo who isn't of one heart with you more important?"

Dai Weisi immediately burst into laughter. "Of course my imperial consort is more important. However, the strong people under me all have their own assignments right now. At present, I can only send out two Soul Saints."

"That trash sister of mine is only twelve years old. Two Soul Saints are enough! I refuse to believe that Title Douluo can stay by her side at every moment!"

"Hahaha, good. Then that's what we'll do! Once the source of the problem is gone, what reason will that Title Douluo have to offend our Star Luo Royal Family?"

He believed that a subordinate like Zhu Zhuqing was not enough to make a Title Douluo fly into a rage. As long as they prepared sufficient apologies and gifts afterward, the matter would pass.

To the strong, everything was merely about benefits. Trading one Zhu Zhuqing for a great deal of wealth and the friendship of Star Luo's future heir was a sufficient price!

This was the atmosphere of Star Luo!

Star Luo Riverway.

After seeing off the new friend he had just made, Jiang Qianhai once again began his solitary fishing life.

Today was an ordinary day for him, but at the same time, it was also a special day.

Because...

After today's settlement, he would advance to Battle Emperor!

Over eight days, with the boost from the daily settlement, Jiang Qianhai could gain more than two million Experience Points on average each day. The Experience Points accumulated over those eight days were just enough for Jiang Qianhai to advance from Eight Star Battle King to the Battle Emperor realm.

By the riverbank.

As Jiang Qianhai waited for a fish to bite, he toyed with the white stone Xue Qinghe had tossed him, feeling rather curious.

"What's the principle behind this thing making calls?"

This little stone was not even the size of a fist, and he could not see anything inside it either.

Yet it could actually transmit information. That truly left him a little unable to figure it out.

"Honestly, in a fantasy world, why am I talking science with it? As long as I know it works like a phone, that's enough."

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye night fell. Soon, midnight was about to arrive.

Ding! Calculating today's gains. Calculation complete. Beginning settlement.

Settlement result: Today's Experience Points gained *3

Jiang Qianhai sat cross-legged in an open area. As the system's voice fell, he felt the Dou Qi within his body grow restless. Then the quality and total amount of his Dou Qi rose rapidly, slowly climbing to a critical point.

Without the slightest obstruction, Jiang Qianhai naturally crossed the threshold between Battle King and Battle Emperor.

The instant he crossed that threshold, Jiang Qianhai sensed a certain kind of energy in the space around him. It was energy of the same attributes as his Dou Qi. However, his Dou Qi had been opened up from the system's Dou Qi Seed, and it possessed all five attributes, so the energies he sensed in space also came in five kinds.

That was also why he could refine pills.

Aside from that, he also vaguely sensed another special kind of energy.

Space!

However, right now he was only a One Star Battle Emperor. Although he could keep flying with Battle Qi Transformation Wings, he still had a long way to go before he could shake space.

Even so, he could briefly remain suspended in the void.

The very brief kind.

Moreover, the might of a Battle Emperor was far beyond what a Battle King could compare to.

A Battle King could only sense and weakly mobilize the attribute power in space, while a Battle Emperor could almost control a large amount of attribute energy within a certain area of space.

It was like carrying the might of heaven and earth; the effect it produced was outright crushing.

Now, his strength on paper had firmly reached the Title Douluo level. Compared to before, when he could only rely on the amplification of Word Spirit to contend with a Title Douluo, now he could directly fight an ordinary Title Douluo in a battle of life and death!

If he activated Word Spirit, he was also confident he could go head-to-head with a Super Douluo. As for who was stronger and who was weaker, he had never fought one, so he did not know. In any case, he would not lose.

With speed more than five hundred times that of an ordinary Title Douluo, even if a level 99 Ultimate Douluo came, they would not be able to catch up to him!

As his realm completely stabilized at One Star Battle Emperor, a terrifying pressure spread out in all directions with Jiang Qianhai as the center. After startling a number of Soul Beasts, that pressure instantly vanished completely.

The next moment, a person with wings on his back streaked across the sky, kicking up a gust of wild wind.

In a dozen or so minutes, he flew to the Star Dou Great Forest.

After returning, he landed steadily on the ground.

Looking at the brilliant starry sky, Jiang Qianhai pinched his chin and pondered a serious question.

"Should I still sleep?"

A moment later, he shook his head.

"I'm not sleepy at all. Sleep my ass!"

Immediately after, he took out his night-fishing lamp and set it up. Very soon, a night-fishing platform took shape by the river.

How many Fishermen dreamed of having a body that would not grow tired?

After that, twelve days flashed by.

With a rumble, the aura of a breakthrough once again rose from Jiang Qianhai, who was still fishing. A moment later, his realm had already reached Three Star Battle Emperor!

After his aura stabilized, he stretched lazily for a long time.

"I've been out for so long. It's about time to go back. I can take a walk around other places while I'm at it."
