"Little mouse. Who is responsible for that sector?" A faint, interested smile played on his lips.
Taking Leng Yaozhu's delicate hand, Ming Yue walked with her toward the source of the sound.
"Hmm—it should be Cang Ying, the Heartless Douluo." Looking at Ming Yue with complex emotions, Leng Yaozhu replied softly.
"Cang Ying? Then let's dock his strategic resources for next month as a penalty."
By the time he finished speaking, he and Leng Yaozhu had reached the origin of the disturbance. Kicking aside the partition in front of them, a filthy, blood-soaked child appeared before their eyes.
"Ah, what a pitiful child. To think you escaped the initial purge—this wretched world."
Releasing Leng Yaozhu's hand with a sigh, he crouched down and, ignoring the hatred in the boy's eyes, stroked his blood-stained, dusty hair.
Ming Yue continued gently: "Bearing the grudge of a wiped-out clan, you actually dared to launch a sneak attack while we were still here."
"Let me guess, do you still have a younger brother or sister out there?"
Seeing the boy's expression turn to instant terror, Ming Yue flashed a gentle smile and snapped his neck with a surge of soul power.
"How meaningless." Dusting off his hands, Ming Yue stood up and gestured.
A Spirit Pagoda Douluo following close behind immediately understood and began a meticulous search of the surroundings.
"Yaozhu, do you think I'm cruel?"
Only then did he look back at the silent Leng Yaozhu, lifting her hand again to ask.
"What silly things are you saying?" She reflexively retorted, instead cradling Ming Yue's hand in hers.
"I just suddenly feel that even though I have become a Title Douluo, the distance between you and me seems so vast, Yue."
Her thoughts drifted back to the recent battlefield, where even when faced with the legendary Sea God Tang San's projection, Ming Yue had remained calm and in total control.
He had even completely obliterated the opponent's projection!
And she? She had felt a deep, instinctive fear just from the pressure of that projection.
"Yaozhu!" A soft call interrupted her wandering thoughts. Gazing into her beautiful eyes, Ming Yue smiled gently:
"So-called distance, if it is not built upon one-sided longing, does not truly exist."
"Looking at it now, my worries were actually quite unnecessary."
The soft, magnetic voice echoed in her ears. Under Ming Yue's tender gaze, a blush unconsciously bloomed on Leng Yaozhu's fair face.
Quickly understanding the meaning behind his words, she couldn't help but resolve in her heart to cultivate even harder.
At the same time, she began to comfort Ming Yue: "No matter what decisions you make in the future, no matter what you do, Leng Yulai and I will always! Always! Always support you and stand firmly by your side!"
A gentle breeze swept through, stirring the hair of the two as they gazed at each other. Ming Yue bowed his head, his forehead resting against Leng Yaozhu's smooth, jade-like brow.
Their breathing was clearly audible, and the strands of hair entangled by the wind seemed to whisper of their lingering affection.
[Age 24: The disappearance of Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie! The mysterious vanishing of the entire Sea God Clan, leaving behind only a deserted island, has shaken the entire continent!]
[Speculators guess that the Vast Sea Douluo may have mysteriously ascended to godhood, while others guess he took his entire clan and left the Douluo Continent!]
[In the midst of the chaos, only Chen Xinjie's son, Chen Zeyu, knows that his father vanished only after receiving a distress signal from the clan!]
[Age 25: Under your arrangement, the Spirit Pagoda has successfully and thoroughly digested the strategic 'resources' contributed by Chen Xinjie and the Sea God Clan!]
[The number of Super and Peak Douluos in the Spirit Pagoda has surged! There is even one additional Limit Douluo!]
[In the same year, with the resources and guidance you provided, Leng Yaozhu broke through to level 95, becoming the youngest Super Douluo in the history of the Douluo Continent, while Leng Yulai reached level 89, just one step away from becoming a Title Douluo!]
[Age 26: The projection of that little brat you cut down when wiping out the Sea God Clan has always been a thorn in your side.]
[You vaguely remember that the little brat had utilized his top-tier parasitic leeching skills to pull off what you call the 'Ten Thousand Year Great Parasitism' on you.]
[For the sake of the main quest Rescue Prayer of the Plane Spirit, and to clear your own state of mind, you have decided to exterminate the remnants of the Tang Sect and Shrek!]
[Starting from the so-called hidden Tang Sect, you have formulated a meticulous plan titled Exterminate Tang and Eradicate Shrek Plan!]
In the confidential meeting room of the Spirit Pagoda.
The scene was familiar, yet unlike the previous meeting regarding the Sea God Clan, this room was now filled with many more Super and Peak Douluos, and one Limit Douluo!
"You have all reviewed the latest intelligence on the Tang Sect and Shrek. What are your thoughts on the Exterminate Tang and Eradicate Shrek Plan proposed by this Pagoda Master?"
Leaning his chin on one hand while lightly tapping the table with the other, Ming Yue spoke in a calm, indifferent tone.
"Given the current combat strength of our Spirit Pagoda, wiping out these two major forces is not a problem."
"However, if we wish to eliminate both simultaneously without leaving a trace, I believe it is still somewhat problematic."
The conversation was quickly picked up by a council member. He naturally had no objections to Ming Yue's plan.
But considering various other factors, he spoke up.
"Indeed, while the current public Sect Master of the Tang Sect is the Heartless Douluo."
"We do not know how many hidden Super, Peak, or even Limit Douluos they possess. After all, the Tang Sect still bears the name Tang."
As words of agreement echoed, another council member expressed his own view.
"You idiot, when did the Tower Master's plan ever state we should move against both great powers at the same time?"
"According to the sequence, the Tower Master intends to deal with the Tang Sect first, then digest the 'resources,' and only after that can we leverage the momentum to crush Chan Shi. Do you understand?"
However, no sooner had the councilor finished speaking than that newly promoted Limit Douluo let out a cold snort to rebuke him and express his own opinion.
"Heh. Snake Emperor, you make it sound so easy, but the Tang Sect and Shrek have always been of one mind."
"Not to mention that the Tang Sect has undergone several revivals; who knows if they still have hidden trump cards?"
"So, can you guarantee that not a single shred of information will leak out while we are annihilating the Tang?"
Another councilor's sneer rang out. Although everyone agreed with Ming Yue's plan, they held vastly different opinions on how to execute it—and how to execute it perfectly—to the point where they began to argue incessantly.
