In Spirit Hall of the Douluo Continent, Bibi Dong's face instantly turned deathly pale, and her whole body trembled.
If Zhao Xiao had not said that insufficient cultivation would cause someone to explode and die upon forcibly entering the Two Realms Passage, then her daughter might truly have died without anyone ever knowing why!
"Damn it! What exactly is Star Extremity Sect trying to do? As the ones leading all this, could they really not know about this?"
Jin'e Douluo, standing nearby, thought for a moment and sighed.
"Perhaps they really do not know. According to what Zhao Ming and Sun Qing said before, they were merely the ones carrying out orders, not the true decision-makers behind the scenes."
"This time, we truly have Zhao Xiao to thank for knowing the specifics. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Qian Daoliu likewise let out a long sigh of relief. No matter what, Qian Renxue was his granddaughter. By all appearances, she had narrowly escaped disaster...
Inside the Heaven Dou Empire's Imperial Palace, upon hearing Zhao Xiao's words, everyone present was first stunned, then sighed in unison, their faces filled with regret.
"What a pity. If Zhao Xiao had not warned them, Qian Renxue would surely have died in the Two Realms Passage."
As a princess of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Ke's upbringing should not have allowed her to think this way. But when she remembered how Qian Renxue had caused her brothers to die, hide their true abilities, or disappear, and how even her father's poisoning had, after investigation, turned out to be Qian Renxue's doing, how could she possibly feel any goodwill toward Qian Renxue?
Merely sighing over it like this already showed that she was well-bred.
Xue Beng, standing beside her, wore the same regretful expression.
"Yes, what a terrible pity. Why did Zhao Xiao not appear earlier or later, but at precisely this moment? Sigh..."
As Xue Ke and Xue Beng's Imperial Uncle, Xue Xing hoped for the same outcome. However, he understood very clearly that, as a member of the royal family, he had to maintain grace in public. Thus, despite thinking so, he still shook his head.
"Qian Renxue is resourceful and intelligent. She might not obediently follow the main group to the Three Thousand Dao Provinces. Perhaps, if Lin Wanwan had not appeared, she would have found a way to slip away midway. So the possibility of her dying in the Two Realms Passage was not particularly high..."
Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo who had been invited over, fell silent for a moment before shaking his head.
"If Zhao Xiao had not said it, this old man would instead have believed Qian Renxue was doomed. Leaving everything else aside, even if Qian Renxue wanted to escape, she likely would not have had the ability."
"You do not actually think an ordinary person with little power could pull any tricks in front of a Title Douluo, do you? That is the situation Qian Renxue is facing now."
"Of course, if Lin Wanwan did not care about the survival of Hundred Flowers Palace and chose to help Qian Renxue, then the outcome might have been different."
Dugu Bo did not dare speak too absolutely. After all, these people were members of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family. Though he did not fear them, there was no need to offend them either.
"...That makes sense."
At Shrek Academy, Ma Hongjun's face became utterly furious.
Among the Chosen Ones from the Douluo Continent who had gone to the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, three were members of the Shrek Seven Devils who had shared life and death with him. Yet now, all three of them had encountered their own miserable fates!
Dai Laoda...
Forget it. Better not mention him.
The moment Ma Hongjun thought of Dai Mubai's incomparably tragic state, he could not help shuddering.
Others might not know what kind of person Dai Laoda was, but as someone equally amorous, how could Ma Hongjun not know?
Without his second brother, he might as well be dead!
Yet Dai Laoda could not even die now, even if he wanted to!
The Sword-Wielding Grand Eunuch had not only broken every bone in his body and soaked him in a medicated bath under the pretense of reshaping his muscles and bones, but had even fitted him with a mouth restraint to stop him from biting his tongue and killing himself.
And supposedly to strengthen Dai Laoda's internal organs, he kept feeding him all sorts of horrifying-looking things—spiders, centipedes, unknown insects, and even things that looked like maggots...
In just this short while, he had already been fed an entire vatful...
Ugh~
Ma Hongjun repeatedly shook his head, throwing that sanity-shattering image from his mind.
No, no, he could not think about it anymore. If he kept thinking, he was really going to throw up.
He declared that he had never seen a master as perverted as the Sword-Wielding Grand Eunuch...
He would even swear on his own second brother that if he ever encountered a master as perverted as the Sword-Wielding Grand Eunuch, he would absolutely seek every opportunity to kill himself and free himself from it!
"Still, although the Sword-Wielding Grand Eunuch said that severed limbs could be restored once cultivation reached a sufficiently high level, even if Dai Laoda recovered from what happened today, would any girl still be willing to kiss him?"
"After all, the things he ate today were broadcast live across the entire continent."
After lamenting Dai Mubai's fate, Ma Hongjun could not help lamenting the fates of the sixth-ranked Ning Rongrong and seventh-ranked Zhu Zhuqing among the Shrek Seven Devils as well.
"Rongrong should not have too much to worry about. No matter how you look at it, Zhao Xiao seems quite considerate toward Rongrong. Even if she truly has to go to the so-called Three Thousand Dao Provinces, Zhao Xiao will surely have a way to protect her. Zhuqing, on the other hand..."
Ma Hongjun subconsciously looked toward Zhu Zhuqing's Live Stream Room and could not help sucking in a cold breath.
"Zhuqing, Zhuqing, I really do not know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky. You had barely landed before you were picked up by a little brat."
Within the Light Screen belonging to Zhu Zhuqing, she was currently staring wide-eyed at a little brat who looked thirteen or fourteen but was actually only a little over ten years old.
She was grateful that he had rescued her from the jaws of a beast, but what did he mean by calling her a fat girl the moment he opened his mouth?
Where was she fat?
A little brat was still a little brat. He truly had no eye for beauty at all. This was called being curvy, all right!
Zhu Zhuqing glared at the little brat in dissatisfaction and could not help muttering.
"Little fellow, you are still too young. You do not understand women. When you grow up, you will understand what fat means and what curvy means."
The little brat tilted his head slightly. After feeding a piece of roasted meat to the golden Maoqiu on his shoulder, he smiled and handed the other freshly roasted piece of meat in his hand to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Here, fat girl. You should eat more. Your body is so frail; it must be because you did not eat and drink properly before."
Zhu Zhuqing: ...
No, my body was frail?
As the "Hell Spirit Cat," she had always been among the best of her peers since childhood. No matter how one looked at it, her body could not possibly be described with the words "frail."
But when she thought of how this little fellow, who was only a little over ten years old, had punched a fierce beast so brutally that it blasted straight through it, even though that beast had smashed an entire mountain apart, Zhu Zhuqing truly had no mood to argue with a little brat over whether her body was frail. Without the slightest hesitation or politeness, she snatched the roasted meat he offered and took a savage bite, as though the meat were the little brat himself...
"You little brat, I—huh, wait a moment..."
