[Ding! Map expansion package reached Heaven Dou City. A bindable Suppression Target has been detected. Bind immediately?]

"Bind."

[Ding! Bound Suppression Target Xue Qinghe detected. He is the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, of noble background. Background Suppression activated. Reward unlocked.] [Reward: Ancient Imperial Dynasty successor identity for the host of Douluo Continent.]

Unlike when he had bound Xiao Wu, Xue Qinghe had triggered the reward simply by revealing his identity.

And that was only Xue Qinghe's identity. If her true background were revealed, who knew what reward it would trigger?

But what exactly was this Ancient Imperial Dynasty successor identity supposed to be?

The Legacy of the Beast God had produced two powerful Fierce Beasts from underground.

Could this Ancient Imperial Dynasty possibly send a whole army of terracotta warriors bursting out of the ground?

"You don't need to be afraid. If you get lost, I'll have someone escort you home."

Xue Qinghe still wore a gentle expression. Anyone who saw him would have to give him a thumbs-up and praise him for possessing the bearing of a ruler.

"No need, Crown Prince. You're truly a good person."

Without another word, Lin Qi handed Xue Qinghe a good-person card.

He had triggered a reward so generously. If he was not a good person, then who was?

Xue Qinghe shook his head with a laugh.

People usually called him an enlightened prince or a qualified Crown Prince. This was the first time anyone had called him a good person.

"Are you sure you don't need help?"

"No. We have something to do."

With that, Lin Qi waved his hand and pulled Xiao Wu into the crowd, where they vanished.

"Those two little brats have no manners at all. They showed His Highness the Crown Prince not the slightest courtesy. Only someone as tolerant and magnanimous as His Highness would overlook their offense."

It was that passerby again, speaking indignantly.

"Receiving the title of 'good person' is worth more than a thousand flattering compliments."

After saying that, Xue Qinghe left as well, leaving the bootlicker standing there awkwardly.

After walking a short distance, Xue Qinghe spoke to the guard behind him.

"Follow those two children. If they encounter danger or get lost, lend them a hand."

"Yes."

One of the guards, Porcupinefish Douluo, acknowledged the order and headed in the direction Lin Qi and Xiao Wu had gone.

At the same time, Porcupinefish Douluo could not help but admire Qian Renxue's disguise.

The Young Master truly played the part of a benevolent Crown Prince perfectly. Even the real Xue Qinghe might not have been able to do it this well.

"That person really was the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire? The Crown Prince actually had nothing better to do than stroll around like an ordinary person?"

Once they were farther away, Xiao Wu asked in confusion.

She held no particular reverence for the identity of Crown Prince. She was merely curious.

"What's so strange about that? Forget Crown Princes—even emperors sometimes travel incognito to inspect their lands."

"Really?"

Xiao Wu thought perhaps she simply lacked experience. After all, she was a Soul Beast.

"You can relax now. The pill Master Meng gave you is definitely effective."

"That's good."

Xiao Wu initially responded casually, but it took her a while to realize what he meant.

Her steps abruptly stopped.

"Y-you mean there was a Titled Douluo nearby just now?"

"No."

"That's a relief. You scared me to death."

Xiao Wu patted her chest repeatedly.

Of course. Titled Douluo were not so easy to encounter. They were not cabbages growing in a field.

"You encountered two Titled Douluo just now."

Xiao Wu's hand froze halfway through patting her chest.

She did not doubt that Lin Qi was lying. She merely lamented how terrible her luck was.

Hadn't they said Titled Douluo were rare, people seldom saw them in their lifetimes?

It was all lies told to Soul Beasts!

At the same time, Xiao Wu felt a wave of relief.

Luckily, Master Meng's medicine was effective. Otherwise, her identity would have been exposed again.

"Do you know where the Soul Fighting Arena is? Are we just going to search around at random?"

"Look. Isn't it right up ahead?"

Lin Qi pointed forward. A magnificent building stood not far away.

For Lin Qi, there was no need to ask for directions or look for landmarks.

As long as he wanted to go somewhere, he could simply wander around and arrive there.

"Fine, forget I said anything."

Xiao Wu had forgotten that Lin Qi possessed heaven-defying luck. Getting lost simply did not exist for him.

Porcupinefish Douluo, who had been following Lin Qi and Xiao Wu from afar, was puzzled when he saw them enter the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

Could these two children be the children of some Soul Fighting Arena staff member?

Out of caution, Porcupinefish Douluo did not leave. Instead, he followed them into the Soul Fighting Arena.

Lin Qi knew perfectly well that someone was tailing them.

He had even guessed that it was one of Xue Qinghe's two guards.

But that was exactly what Lin Qi wanted.

He still did not know what use the Ancient Imperial Dynasty successor identity would have.

Besides, "Xue Qinghe" was a treasure mountain. How could he let her go just like that?

He had to make Xue Qinghe reveal more of her background in order to trigger more rewards.

"Kid, do you know what kind of place this is? This isn't somewhere you should be."

At the Soul Fight registration counter, a staff member radiating fierce energy stared expressionlessly at Lin Qi.

"Of course I know. I'm here to register for a Soul Fight."

This time, not only the staff member, but everyone else participating in the Soul Fights looked toward Lin Qi.

"Kid, are you trying to get yourself killed when you haven't even grown all your hair yet?"

"Hahaha! When I awakened my Martial Soul back then, I also thought I was incredibly powerful. But I wasn't stupid enough to seek death by entering a Soul Fight."

"You should leave quickly. This isn't a place for children to play house."

Among the many Soul Masters, some treated it entirely as a joke, while others were openly malicious. Only a few kindly advised Lin Qi and Xiao Wu to leave.

There were not many kind-hearted and upright people among Soul Masters who took part in Soul Fights.

Most of them might not have been outright villains, but they certainly were not overly kind-hearted saints.

"Shut up, all of you."

At that moment, a dignified voice rang out.

"Mr. Ge, why are you here?"

"Steward Ge, what are your orders?"

The newcomer was a man who looked to be around fifty. He had fair skin and resembled a gentle scholar.

Yet the moment he appeared, those fierce Soul Masters immediately reined in their arrogance.

"If you want to fight, then go fight. If any of you dare make another disturbance, don't blame me for personally seeing you off."

"Yes, yes, yes. We're leaving right away."

The Soul Masters were like mice that had seen a cat. When Mr. Ge told them to shut up, they did not dare make even the slightest sound.

"I am the person in charge of the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena. May I ask you to come with me?"

The Soul Masters who had not yet gone far were instantly shocked.

Mr. Ge was actually so respectful toward two children? Even if these two children were the Heaven Dou Emperor's own children, there was no need for this!

In the eyes of these Soul Masters, Mr. Ge was both powerful and terrifying.

Why would someone like him casually show kindness to two children?

Not only them—even the Soul Fighting Arena staff found it utterly unbelievable.

"Lin Qi, should we go?"

Xiao Wu asked softly.

Lin Qi said, "Go. Why not?"

Lin Qi had guessed something. Perhaps this was the belated benefit of being an Heir of the Ancient Imperial Dynasty?

Sure enough!

After following Mr. Ge to a luxurious room, Mr. Ge dropped to his knees with a thud.

"Your subject Ge Ming pays respects to Your Majesty. Long live our Emperor! Long live our Emperor! Long live our Emperor!"
