The Great Stage of Douluo, My Name is Qian Xunji

When it comes to human rights, one must remember that the world of Douluo Continent is an imperial system—a system that still maintains nobility and slavery, with clearly defined social classes.

Setting aside the status of a slave, even if someone were a completely innocent commoner, a noble could still kill them; because they are nobles, they possess the legal right to take lives.

This is also the reason why Martial Soul Hall enjoys such a good reputation.

Who wouldn't like a kind-hearted person who goes around doing good deeds everywhere?

"I don't want to look at this at all. It makes me want to kill someone just by reading it. Old man, you continue with the work!" Qian Xunji set the report down and looked at Qian Daoliu.

"..." Qian Daoliu did not answer him.

Qian Xunji found himself ignored, so he said, "Then leave it to Bibi Dong! She seems to be quite fond of those little girls."

Qian Xunji pulled a report from the pile. This group of missing children was being constantly transported and moved to different locations, but the direction remained unchanged, pointing directly to one place—the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!

As a family notorious for their promiscuity, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had many concubines, maids, and servants among its male members. These people were sourced from subordinate sects and families as tribute, or purchased from human traffickers.

"You are still holding a grudge and seeking revenge."

"She almost became one of them back then, so she should be very familiar with it. What is wrong with letting her be in charge?" Qian Xunji refused to admit it, then continued to make things difficult for Bibi Dong—well, making things difficult until they fit perfectly.

Chapter 31: Making Use of Waste

Over the years, Qian Xunji had been dumping the most difficult tasks into Bibi Dong's hands. This woman was truly tough; she went and did them regardless.

There were times she was on the verge of death, dozens of times she suffered heavy injuries, and minor injuries were too numerous to count.

This was the reason Qian Xunji had never killed her. Before she was corrupted by darkness, Bibi Dong was truly a good person, perhaps even excessively so because she had been raised to be too pure; she could not bear to look at the dark side of things.

Some of these tasks were not even assigned to her by Qian Xunji; they were things Bibi Dong had volunteered to do.

With such a strong-willed person who possessed significant power, the casualties of Martial Soul Hall had decreased significantly over the years.

It could be considered making use of waste, Qian Xunji thought to himself while resting his chin on his hand.

When Bibi Dong saw the new task assigned to her, her expression turned ugly.

It was not because Qian Xunji had given her a thorny task, but because the target this time was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

It was the family of her former lover, Yu Xiaogang.

Because of the incident where the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had tried to capture her, Bibi Dong felt great disgust toward them, one could even say she detested them to the core.

She had always been this way: if she loved someone, she wanted them to live; if she hated someone, she wanted them to die.

Paranoid and crazy!

If she were an Uchiha, she probably would have awakened a Mangekyo Sharingan.

Over the years, she had hunted down quite a few pieces of trash from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and now it could be said that she and the sect were locked in a life-or-death struggle.

It could be said that if not for the fact that Bibi Dong's strength was not yet sufficient, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect would likely have been wiped out by now.

This also made the situation of her ex-boyfriend, Yu Xiaogang, very awkward within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

Although it was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect that had tried to capture Bibi Dong and suffered retaliation, that did not stop them from venting their anger on Yu Xiaogang.

However, Yu Xiaogang had a good father, the Thunder Douluo, who had spent a massive amount of resources on his advancement. Even though there were complaints within the clan, it did not stop Yu Xiaogang from consuming those resources.

His reputation within the clan was already poor, so this incident was merely a minor annoyance.

That incident from back then left Bibi Dong with very complicated feelings regarding the trio of Yu Xiaogang.

When the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect came to capture Bibi Dong, Yu Xiaogang hid in his room and refused to come out, while Liu Erlong, his rival in love, stood up to help Bibi Dong.

It was ironic and absurd!

After Bibi Dong escaped, Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang were spared due to their Yu Clan bloodline, but because their Martial Soul Fusion Skill was forcibly broken, they were both severely injured, and Flender was almost killed by the vengeful Thunder Douluo.

The Golden Iron Triangle fell apart after this incident.

Liu Erlong began to doubt the man she had admired and secretly loved for many years because of Yu Xiaogang's cowardly behavior. Eventually, unable to continue deceiving herself, she left.

Flender also became dissatisfied with Yu Xiaogang because of Liu Erlong's departure and followed her away.

Yu Xiaogang was actually a very arrogant person; he could abandon others, but others could not abandon him. After being discarded by his teammates, he became somewhat twisted, determined to regain his confidence and reputation by proving the success of his theories.

However, to Liu Erlong, who was straightforward, hot-tempered, and valued emotions, this behavior was even more incomprehensible.

His girlfriend, Bibi Dong, was still being hunted by his own people—including his own father—yet Yu Xiaogang could still quietly research some bullshit theories.

Liu Erlong's mother was a victim deceived by a scumbag, and Liu Erlong had hated her own scumbag father since she was a child. Seeing Yu Xiaogang's actions, she was extremely disappointed.

Not to mention helping Bibi Dong escape (after all, a mere Soul Grand Master didn't have the strength for that), but as her boyfriend, couldn't he at least show some concern? Or try to gather some information?

Turning a deaf ear to the world outside and focusing only on his research?

Wasn't this just deceiving himself and pretending that he didn't have a girlfriend at all?

After reading the detailed intelligence, Bibi Dong did not waste any words. She gathered her direct subordinates and immediately left Martial Soul City. Her aura was murderous throughout the journey, and everyone who saw her subconsciously stepped aside.

Chapter 32: The Zhu Family and A Ke

Star Luo Empire

A junior academy affiliated with the Star Luo Royal Academy.

A Ke had already enrolled alongside Zhu Zhuqing. Ever since listening to A Ke's words last time, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have had an epiphany; she no longer let her mind wander every day.

She began cultivating with her life on the line. It could be said that apart from necessary sleep and basic biological needs, Zhu Zhuqing spent every remaining moment on cultivation.

Although she initially felt that A Ke's words were impossible to achieve.

But after careful study, Zhu Zhuqing discovered that it was still possible to reach the goal.

The current Star Luo Emperor was the White Tiger Douluo, Dai Yutian.

Born into nobility, Zhu Zhuqing naturally possessed knowledge far beyond that of commoners. According to the records in her family's archives, the lifespan of a Title Douluo far exceeded that of ordinary people. An ancestor of her family who was a Title Douluo had lived to be two hundred and fifty-six years old, and that was only because he had passed away early due to numerous hidden injuries.

The current Star Luo Emperor was only in his fifties this year. At his age, he was considered relatively young among Title Douluo, so he would not be confirming an heir too early.

In the records to date, the youngest Title Douluo was that scoundrel, Tang Hao.

Although he was a Title Douluo, because of his past actions, no one acknowledged his title.

He became a Title Douluo at the age of 44.

This gave Zhu Zhuqing hope. Of course, she did not intend to surpass Tang Hao; as long as she could reach the Soul Douluo realm before the final duel, she could at least save her life.

Title Douluo were too rare, and a Soul Douluo could also be considered a top-tier powerhouse. In Zhu Zhuqing's view, saving her life should not be a problem.

With her Innate Soul Power of level seven, becoming a Soul Douluo was difficult, but there was still hope.

What she lacked now was time; she had to become a Soul Douluo before the Star Luo Emperor grew old and wanted to confirm an heir.

Therefore, Zhu Zhuqing was now cultivating with her life on the line.

················································

Children on the Douluo Continent married early, reproduced early, and were precocious.

In the junior Soul Master academies, there was no shortage of students pursuing their female classmates for romance.

However, there were no suitors around Zhu Zhuqing and A Ke. It was not because the two were not beautiful enough, but because both of them were already taken.

Zhu Zhuqing had her fiancé, Dai Mubai. Although Dai Mubai was currently being suppressed by his older brother to the point of being a mess, in front of others, he still held the authority a prince should have. It would be easy for him to kill a minor noble who pursued his fiancée.

A Ke, meanwhile, chose to partner with Pei Qinhu.

There was no helping it; talented and beautiful female Soul Masters were a scarce resource in the eyes of those men, and the children born would also inherit their mother's talent. Many nobles had approached the Duke of Spirit Cat seeking marriage alliances.

Especially since A Ke's Martial Soul was not the Hell Spirit Cat, which could perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with the royal family's Evil Eye White Tiger, there was no need to worry about offending the royal family even if they married into another house.

The Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul was a family of Soul Masters kept by the royal family specifically for Martial Soul Fusion Skills; this was a secret known to everyone among the Star Luo nobility.

At this time, the teammate Qian Xunji had found for A Ke also came in handy.

As a member of a branch of the royal bloodline and a genius with Innate Full Soul Power, Pei Qinhu did not face much resistance when he wanted A Ke to be his fiancée.

The two soon became engaged.

The Duke of Spirit Cat was still a little disappointed. Although Pei Qinhu was a genius with Innate Full Soul Power, it would take a long time for him to grow up and convert his potential into strength.

There were too many accidents along the way, and the risks were too high.

Compared to investing, the Duke of Spirit Cat would rather have married A Ke directly to those powerhouses who had already matured.

However, deep in his heart, he still wanted to keep A Ke in the Zhu Family to cultivate a Title Douluo of their own.

It was a pity that the current Zhu Family was too weak to protect her, so he could only compromise...

···············································

Chapter 33: Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun

Unlike Zhu Zhuqing, who was suppressed by her eldest sister, Zhu Zhuyun.

Zhu Zhuyun chose to win over A Ke, this "younger sister" who possessed exceptional talent and a genius fiancé.

When they met in the academy, they could greet each other politely and courteously, and their relationship seemed quite good.

Although A Ke was considered a good friend to Zhu Zhuqing, she did not have any great ill will toward Zhu Zhuyun.

Both sisters were being swept along, victims of this royal struggle.

It was clearly a duel between two princes, yet they insisted on pairing both men with fiancées to be buried with the loser.

Or they would become one of the winner's concubines, at most receiving some preferential treatment due to the uniqueness of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but ultimately remaining trapped in the imperial palace, becoming tools for the Emperor to use his Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

The current Star Luo Empress was the most typical example. As a Soul Douluo, the Star Luo Empress could be considered a powerhouse, but after she became Empress, she lost the rights that those powerhouses possessed.
