Nuclear Domination From Douluo: Chapter 38

Gu Yuena curiously fiddled with the small pendant.

"Brother Dongfeng, what did you give Na'er?"

Xue Qinghe felt that it looked somewhat like a Soul Tool, but weren't Soul Tools basically useless aside from storage?

Could there be other kinds of Soul Tools, or was this something akin to a divine artifact?

"This jade pendant is called Red Dust Protection. It's a triggered Soul Tool that can withstand a Titled Douluo's attack, though it can only be used a limited number of times each day. I relied on it to escape from Tang Hao."

Tang Dongfeng reasonably exaggerated the effects of Red Dust Protection.

That way, when others assessed his strength, they would factor in more external items.

As a result, they would develop a mistaken understanding of his true strength.

And at certain times, that mistaken understanding could prove fatal.

Only by keeping more trump cards could he catch enemies off guard and kill them in desperate circumstances.

Young Mistress, You're Confused!

The following morning, outside the Prince's Mansion.

Tang Dongfeng led Gu Yuena by the hand as they walked out of the Prince's Mansion.

A carriage was parked outside. It looked plain and unremarkable, but the interior was extremely comfortable.

Xue Qinghe had specially prepared this carriage for him. It counted as her personal property.

"Brother Xue, don't see us off anymore. If Na'er and I don't leave now, it'll be dark before we know it."

Tang Dongfeng blatantly lied. It was clearly only noon, with the sun shining brightly overhead.

"Brother Dongfeng, I know you find me too nagging. I won't say any more... I won't say any more. Take care on the road. When you return, I'll definitely have everything handled properly for you."

Xue Qinghe patted his shoulder, then rubbed Gu Yuena's little head.

Having a little sister around unexpectedly brightened her mood. Unfortunately, Xue Ke was not her real younger sister.

Sooner or later, she would leave the Heaven Dou Empire behind, leaving nothing but a puppet empire in name.

As for her younger sister Xue Ke, the child who had clung to her since childhood, Xue Qinghe did not know how she should deal with her.

She could kill those princes without mercy, because there was no affection between them.

But Xue Ke had grown up under her watch. She only hoped that Xue Ke would not be dragged into this in the future.

Xue Qinghe saw Xue Ke's shadow in Na'er, which was why she felt so sentimental.

"Brother Xue, don't work yourself too hard either. See you later."

Tang Dongfeng carried Gu Yuena into the carriage and bid Xue Qinghe farewell.

Na'er, seated in the carriage, waved at her as well.

It was Na'er's first long journey, and she was rather excited.

As for the matter Xue Qinghe had mentioned, it was to find Xue Ye and discuss the price of winning over Sea Dragon Douluo.

After getting into the carriage, Tang Dongfeng comfortably sprawled out in a lazy recline. The floor was covered in Soul Beast fur, making it exceptionally comfortable.

Gu Yuena, meanwhile, curiously looked around, inspecting this place and touching that one.

"Na'er, there's food over there if you get hungry. If anything comes up, just call Uncle Sea Dragon. Your brother is going to sleep a little longer."

Tang Dongfeng found a comfortable corner, lay down, and soon began snoring.

Gu Yuena immediately quieted down. She went to the carriage curtain and poked her little head outside.

"Na'er, why did you come out?"

Sea Dragon Douluo, who was driving the carriage, suddenly noticed the adorable Gu Yuena and immediately asked.

He and Na'er had gotten acquainted the previous night.

As for Gu Yuena's talent, Sea Dragon Douluo could only say that she was every bit as monstrous as her unreliable brother.

The pressure emitted by that Silver Dragon Spear could actually suppress his Sea God Dragon, greatly reducing his strength.

It could be said that the Silver Dragon Spear was the nemesis of all Beast Martial Souls, especially dragon-type ones.

"Uncle Sea Dragon, I'm sleeping with Brother. Drive a little more steadily."

Gu Yuena flashed a sweet smile, then turned and returned to the carriage.

Right afterward, she lay down beside Tang Dongfeng, wrapped an arm around his neck, and quietly fell asleep.

"Hmph. Neither of them is paying any attention to me, and they're even treating me like a coachman."

Sea Dragon Douluo muttered under his breath.

This pair of siblings was truly outrageous!

He was a Level 96 Super Douluo, an undisputed powerhouse across the entire Douluo Continent.

Yet before these two siblings, he had been reduced to driving a carriage, with no one even coming out to talk to him.

Only the Soul Beasts pulling the carriage kept making indistinct noises. He had no idea what they were saying, and in any case, he could not understand them.

Heaven Dou City, Prince's Mansion.

"Young Mistress, they have already left Heaven Dou City."

Snake Lance Douluo stood respectfully beside Xue Qinghe.

There were roughly a dozen Titled Douluo in Spirit Hall. He and Pufferfish were among the weakest of them.

That was why they had been sent here to help Qian Renxue accomplish her great undertaking, and why they dared not defy her wishes.

After all, this young mistress valued profit above all else. Once they lost their usefulness, they would become discarded pawns.

Snake Lance Douluo would rather offend the two elders, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, than show even the slightest disrespect toward Qian Renxue.

That was the deterrence brought by Innate Level Twenty, a God-tier Martial Soul, and her background combined.

Even with Snake Lance's strength, he had no chance whatsoever of killing Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue possessed far too many secrets. If she wanted to escape, no one would be able to catch her.

Just the Simulation Skill of that Angel Soul Bone alone made it impossible to find her.

A 99,999-year soul bone was beyond even a Super Douluo's ability to see through, let alone a mere Level 91 Titled Douluo like him.

"In that case, let us depart. Tell Father that I have entered seclusion. Also, pass along Tang Dongfeng's message and see what he can offer to win him over."

She walked away from the desk, and ripples suddenly spread across her body as both her figure and appearance changed.

Qian Renxue appeared to be eighteen or nineteen years old. Her skin was whiter than snow, her nose high and straight, and her phoenix eyes slightly slender.

A tiny mark rested between her brows. Her golden eyes were calm as still water.

There was not the slightest energy fluctuation around her. She looked like an ordinary person.

Qian Renxue wore a golden palace gown. The dress was a single piece, seemingly woven from golden threads, without excessive decorative patterns.

Its style was ancient and elegant, and its high golden collar protected her snow-white, slender neck.

Her long golden hair was casually draped behind her without being carefully arranged.

It formed a striking contrast with her neat palace attire.

"Young Mistress, should we bring Pufferfish along?"

Snake Lance Douluo swallowed and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Qian Renxue.

The young mistress rarely revealed her true appearance, but every time she did, he found it difficult to look away.

Sometimes, he even felt that dying for the young mistress would be worthwhile.

"No need. I have another task for him. Let's go."

Qian Renxue entered the secret passage beneath the Prince's Mansion. From there, they could leave unnoticed.

A long while later.

A carriage bearing the Spirit Hall insignia departed from the Spirit Branch Hall and headed straight out of Heaven Dou City.

"Young Mistress, isn't this too risky?"

Snake Lance Douluo still felt that Qian Renxue had not thought this through. It felt as though she was becoming distracted by trivial matters.

"What do you know? He is far from as simple as he appears to you."

Qian Renxue had specially sent people to Suotuo City to inspect the scene.

Based on her understanding of Titled Douluo, turning everything within fifty li into level ground was not something even a Level 96 Super Douluo could easily accomplish.

Not to mention that Tang Dongfeng had given Na'er a jade pendant yesterday that could withstand a Titled Douluo's attack.

It was easy to imagine.

He possessed far too many extraordinary things. He could not be judged by common sense.

When Tang Dongfeng came to the Prince's Mansion, Xue Qinghe had personally examined his injuries.

In truth, his condition had been extremely terrible. His internal injuries were even worse than his external ones.

His internal organs had shifted out of place, and his meridians were a complete mess from all the ruptures, yet some mysterious force had kept him alive.

Only a few days had passed, and he was already full of life again, lively and energetic.

Qian Renxue even suspected that Tang Dongfeng possessed divine power within his body and could barely make use of it.

As for his Level 23 Soul Power, it was not even worth mentioning.

Come to think of it, it was strange. How could he possibly be only Level 23 at the age of twelve?

Both were inheritors of gods. Qian Renxue had reached Level 23 when she was just over six years old, while Tang Dongfeng had taken nearly twice as long.

"Young Mistress, you're confused! I suspect Sea Dragon Douluo has already discovered Pufferfish's and my tracks. If you now approach that boy as the Spirit Hall Saintess, aren't you pushing yourself into an abyss?"

Snake Lance Douluo earnestly tried to persuade her.
