Gaining the Sea God's Recognition, Failing the Inheritance, and the Sovereign's Successor
That night, the moon was high and the wind was strong.
The Spirit Hall's hidden power, accumulated over many years, was fully mobilized.
The Snake Lance Douluo and the Porcupinefish Douluo, who had been protecting Qian Renxue, then appeared.
Led by Qian Renxue, they headed towards the national treasury...
Now, Qian Renxue, as the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, is in charge of all matters related to the national treasury.
All the personnel here have long been replaced by people from the Spirit Hall.
Inside the Imperial Palace, Poison Douluo was driving a carriage, also approaching the national treasury.
Thanks to his special status in the Heaven Dou Empire, no Guards stepped forward to check or obstruct him...
Inside the Qiankun Palace, the Xue Ye was embracing his young concubine, diligently engaging in sexual activity.
Hoping to add a few princes to the royal family, he was unaware that a calamity targeting the Heaven Dou Empire was unfolding right under his nose...
The next day, early morning.
Two astonishing pieces of news spread throughout Heaven Dou City.
The first piece of news: the Heaven Dou Empire's treasury has been completely looted!
The second piece of news is that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was assassinated and died a gruesome death in his Bedchamber. His body was mangled and his heart was cruelly removed!
Rumors have even circulated that Xue Ye, enraged to the point of collapse, has fallen into a coma and is currently being treated in the Imperial Palace!
In short, the entire Heaven Dou Empire was plunged into complete chaos, and the situation was extremely volatile...
On the other side, Heaven Dou City.
A dozen or so carriages were speeding towards Spirit City.
The Pufferfish, the Snake Lance, Chrysanthemum, Ghost Douluo, and the Holy Dragon Douluo are lurking in the shadows, providing covert protection.
In the first carriage, the beautiful Qian Renxue reverted to her daughter's attire.
Leaning against her beloved man's chest, a blissful smile graced her beautiful face.
Her delicate hand playfully drew circles on the man's chest, creating a warm and sweet atmosphere.
Jin Lingfeng gently stroked the beauty's back with his right hand, feeling the warmth emanating from their bodies, which was extremely pleasant.
Upon returning to Spirit City, he will finally hold his wedding with his beloved Qian Renxue. He has been waiting for this day for a long time...
"Xue'er, you've really suffered these past years."
Jin Lingfeng gently stroked the beauty's cheek, speaking with heartache.
Qian Renxue raised her head and met the deep affection in the eyes of her beloved man, feeling deeply moved.
But she deliberately pursed her lips and said in a resentful tone:
"Lingfeng, I think you're definitely regretting it."
"After you marry me, you won't be able to go out and fool around."
"You must be very disappointed that I can't find your Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing!"
Jin Lingfeng smiled bitterly; Qian Renxue was still the same as before.
He quickly cupped the beauty's delicate hand in his palm, and said with a mischievous grin:
"Xue'er, if you still don't trust me..."
"After we got married, you made sure to feed me well every day."
"That way I won't have the energy to look for other women..."
The man's ambiguous words immediately reached Qian Renxue, making her cheeks flush crimson.
She bit her thin lips tightly, wishing she could bite the bastard in front of her to death right now, for uttering such shameless words!
After a long while, the battle ended.
Jin Lingfeng looked at the blushing, shy beauty in his arms and asked:
"Xue'er, have you found the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud that I asked you to keep an eye out for?"
Qian Renxue pursed her lips, still feeling the saltiness in her mouth, and looked disgusted.
He took out a triangular, star-shaped, crystal-clear treasure from the Soul Tool.
Suddenly, a blue light filled the entire space inside the carriage.
A vast and inexhaustible aura of energy flowed from the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
Even the several Titled Douluo hiding nearby were alerted.
Jin Lingfeng stared intently at the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
Qian Renxue asked in confusion:
"Lingfeng, you seem so excited. What exactly is the purpose of this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"
Jin Lingfeng explained with a smile:
"Xue'er, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is a divine artifact imbued with the Sea God's Power!"
"With it, I have hope of receiving the Sea God Inheritance and achieving godhood!"
As the inheritor of the Angel Clan, Qian Renxue naturally understood the importance of divine status and inheritance, and was happy for her beloved man.
However, at that moment...
A wisp of powerful energy shot out from the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and entered Jin Lingfeng's mind.
He closed his eyes slightly and leaned against Qian Renxue's fragrant shoulder...
When Jin Lingfeng opened his eyes again, he found himself in a blue world, filled with the scent of the sea.
The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was hovering above his head.
Suddenly, an aged voice rang out from the surroundings, filled with deep excitement:
"You've finally appeared, my destined one!"
"Your physique and talent are unparalleled throughout history!"
"Perfectly suited to inherit my legacy!"
Immediately afterwards, terrifying Sea God's Power surged in the space, transforming into blue light and merging into Jin Lingfeng's body, rapidly transforming his physique!
Jin Lingfeng was overjoyed; he hadn't expected to gain the Sea God's approval so easily!
This fortune, which should have belonged to Tang San, now belongs to me!
But then, something unexpected happened!
Jin Lingfeng's Second Martial Soul, the Primal Chaos Bead.
At this moment, it automatically condensed above his head, unleashing an energy that surpassed everything, expelling all the Sea God's Power from his body!
Immediately, the Sea God panicked, and a trembling voice rang out:
"This humble servant had no intention of offending the successor of the Sovereign; please forgive me, Sovereign..."
Of course, Jin Lingfeng had already fainted when these words were spoken, and he didn't hear them...
In a daze, Jin Lingfeng opened his eyes.
He found himself nestled in a woman's soft embrace.
"Lingfeng, you're finally awake!"
Qian Renxue cried out excitedly when she saw the man she loved in her arms wake up.
Jin Lingfeng slowly sat up, recalling everything that had just happened.
He spoke tenderly to the girl he loved:
"Xue'er, I just used my spiritual power to enter the inner space of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud."
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Then, his gaze fell upon the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, which was now suspended in front of him, its radiance gone.
He was puzzled: why did he fail to receive the Sea God Inheritance?
Qian Renxue nodded gently, nestled into the man's arms, Youyou whispered:
"Lingfeng, I'm so glad you're alright."
"If anything happens to you, I will absolutely not live on..."
Simple words, yet they contain endless affection in the heart of a young girl.
Jin Lingfeng smiled sincerely and tightened his grip on the beauty's hand.
With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
Suddenly, he reached out his hand.
Using his mental power, he took the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud into his palm and said with a smile:
"Xue'er, I have gained the approval of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud."
"Gain two active skills."
"First skill, Vast Sea Protective Shroud."
"It can utilize its area-of-effect invisibility to conceal its presence."
"Second skill, Vast Ocean Immobilization Shield."
"It can immobilize Soul Master whose mental strength is less than three times mine, restricting their Soul Power and mobility."
"As for other skills, they remain to be developed."
Jin Lingfeng excitedly explained, "The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud truly lives up to its reputation as a divine artifact containing the Sea God's Power; it is indeed extraordinary."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's eyes narrowed slightly as she stared intently at the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. This was truly a divine artifact among divine artifacts!
Half a month later, a grand procession of carriages entered Spirit City.
