Chapter 47

The bloodied Snake Lance Douluo "struggled" to turn around and asked Qian Renxue.

When Snake Lance Douluo noticed Qian Renxue staring blankly into space, his anger flared.

I'm seriously injured here, and you're still spacing out?

So what if you lost?

With your talent, Young Mistress, you can win next time.

If Qian Renxue hadn't forgotten to defend herself against Tang Dongfeng's trump card at the crucial moment—

Why would he, Snake Lance Douluo, have needed to take that Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus head-on?

Ow, it fucking hurt.

And you don't even care about these old bones of mine.

"I'm fine. Thank you, Snake Spear Elder."

Qian Renxue came back to her senses and thanked Snake Spear Elder first.

After all, Snake Lance Douluo had been injured because of her.

"What are you two doing in the Star Dou Great Forest, putting on this touching master-and-servant act? You're a Titled Douluo. It's just a flesh wound, yet you're acting like you're about to die."

However, there was always someone ill-timed enough to shatter the pleasant mood.

Tang Dongfeng slowly walked over and pushed aside the melodramatic Snake Lance Douluo. He still had something to discuss with Qian Renxue.

Even he, a Soul Grandmaster, had suffered only minor injuries from that explosion.

You were a dignified Titled Douluo who had activated your Martial Soul Avatar to block it. Could you really be worse off than Zhao Wuji?

The power of this Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus was, at most, about the same as the Nuclear Explosion Tang Dongfeng had thrown at Zhao Wuji back at Shrek Academy.

It wasn't that powerful. It only looked frightening.

"Tang Dongfeng, the Young Mistress has already lost. What else do you want?"

Having been pushed aside, Snake Lance Douluo immediately moved to block Tang Dongfeng again. He could not just stand there and watch this dangerous person approach his Young Mistress.

"Snake Lance, do you still want to trade blows with me?"

After Sea Dragon Douluo dismissed his barrier, a Deep Sea Dragon Spear condensed in his right hand. He looked eager to give it a try.

Beating up weaklings was his specialty.

"You people from Sea God Island are going too far!"

Snake Lance Douluo's face turned livid. All he could do was stand there obediently, raging helplessly.

I already look like this. Can't you give me a moment to play things up?

Did you have to ruin my tall, perfect image in the Young Mistress's heart?

"Your Highness, don't worry. I know my limits. Snake Spear Elder only suffered minor injuries. Even if you had used the Six-winged Angel to flee the center of the explosion at full speed, you would have suffered, at most, minor injuries."

Tang Dongfeng said this nonchalantly.

He had no particular hobbies; he simply enjoyed playing with explosions.

The system had just notified him that injuring a Titled Douluo had earned him a charitable ten Points.

You bastard, this grudge is settled.

Tang Dongfeng had originally wanted to blow Qian Renxue away. Logically speaking, Qian Renxue occupied a large share of the world's fortune in Douluo Continent.

If he blew Qian Renxue away, he should have gained more Points than from people like Dai Mubai and Oscar.

But what happened?

Snake Spear Elder had blocked all the damage.

The Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus had only blown Qian Renxue's hair slightly out of place.

"Tang Dongfeng, I owe you one condition. Tell me when you've thought of it."

Qian Renxue looked somewhat despondent. This battle had dealt her a severe blow.

In her eyes, the incomparably powerful Angel Martial Soul had turned out to be so lacking.

When sparring with others, it had always suppressed them at every turn. Yet in the end, even the Angel Martial Soul had a day when it lost its advantage.

She did not blame Tang Dongfeng for injuring Snake Spear Elder.

Even if she had been the one injured, she would have had no regrets.

Tang Dongfeng's willingness to go all out in this match was the greatest respect he could show her.

It seemed she needed to cultivate more and let fewer mundane affairs tie her down. Right now, she had no advantage whatsoever.

Today's battle had been a defeat for the Angel God's inheritor against the Sea God's inheritor.

"Just luck, just luck. If Your Highness had possessed a Martial Soul Avatar and unleashed the power of the Angel Domain, I would have been the one who lost."

If Tang Dongfeng had known what Qian Renxue was thinking, he probably would have blurted out:

I still had even stronger methods hidden away.

But one had to know how to conceal oneself. Once the trump cards in one's hand were exposed, they would no longer have the same miraculous effect.

Although a Nuclear Explosion was incomparably powerful, I was equally constrained by it.

I couldn't exactly blow my opponent to death and perish myself as well, could I?

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, I would not use a Nuclear Explosion lightly.

Not unless I solved the problem of being unable to control it.

And the answer to that problem lay in the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud that His Highness Xue Qinghe had helped me secure.

If Emperor Xue Ye did not even have the resolve to take out the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, then I would rather make a deal with Qian Renxue and obtain the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from her.

Just steal it outright?

Did you even know where a national treasure was kept?

"Loss is loss. I, Qian Renxue, can afford to lose. I'll definitely win it back someday."

Qian Renxue shook her head, knowing Tang Dongfeng was talking nonsense.

By the time she became a Soul Saint, Tang Dongfeng would not be standing still waiting for her.

With just two Soul Rings, Tang Dongfeng could already create explosions at the Soul Douluo level.

She would not foolishly imagine that after she became a Soul Saint, Tang Dongfeng would still be only a Soul Elder or Soul Ancestor.

"Then we'll discuss it another day. Your Highness, Tang Dongfeng bids you farewell."

Tang Dongfeng cupped his hands toward Qian Renxue in salute, preparing to take Na'er to obtain her Soul Ring.

After today's battle with Qian Renxue, he had gained a rough understanding of his own strength.

It could be said that he was absolutely invincible among those of the same rank.

Qian Renxue's strength was at the Quasi Soul Emperor level, level sixty.

The maximum power output of the Nuclear Fusion Reactor in his Dantian was probably around the same level.

The only difference was that his Soul Emperor-level energy output could be sustained indefinitely.

Qian Renxue, along with other Soul Emperors, would have less and less Soul Power the more they expended.

"Hehehe, Brother beat the bad woman!"

Gu Yuena happily jumped up like a cheerleading captain.

"Na'er, Brother beat the bad woman, but you also have to defeat a soul beast and obtain your own first Soul Ring, understand?"

Tang Dongfeng rubbed Gu Yuena's soft silver hair.

He had seen how worried the little girl had been about him.

He suddenly realized that bringing Gu Yuena home had indeed been quite interesting.

Since Gu Yuena had entered his home, then from now on, he would be the only one allowed to bully her.

As for those fellows from the God Realm, it was fine if they did not come. But if they dared to come—

For every one who came, one would die.

"Little sister, your brother already beat me, and you still call me a bad woman?"

Gu Yuena's words made Qian Renxue laugh in exasperation. They had only known each other for a few days, yet Gu Yuena was already so biased toward Tang Dongfeng?

She suddenly felt that her identity as the Saintess did not seem all that impressive.

It did not even carry as much weight in Gu Yuena's heart as the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou.

"Brother was going to hit you. If you're not a bad woman, then what are you?"

Gu Yuena retorted again.

She even seemed ready to throw her weight around.

With both Brother and Uncle Sea Dragon here, she simply could not stand Qian Renxue.

"Alright, let's go."

Tang Dongfeng pinched Gu Yuena's cheek, ready to go hunt soul beasts.

As for a chance encounter in the Star Dou Great Forest, he could do without it.

He still preferred teasing Qian Renxue while she was disguised as Xue Qinghe.

"Wait."

However, Qian Renxue suddenly called out to stop him.

Na'er, Have Some Candy

"Your Highness, what exactly do you want?"
