"You can choose freely." Chen Fan looked at her without forcing her to name herself.
The woman nodded. After that, she also learned about some things, including matters from her previous life.
The Darkness Emperor found the concept of a previous life somewhat vague, but she soon thought of something and realized that she seemed to be living for the second time.
However, she still couldn't recall anything from her previous life. She shook her head. "No matter what happened in my previous life, in this life, I'm still my little lord's person."
Xiao Wu looked at the Darkness Emperor. Although she called her big sister, she considered herself the eldest sister.
The reason was naturally that she had been the first to follow Chen Fan.
"Brother Chen Fan, are you also going to find a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for your third Soul Ring?" Xiao Wu looked at Chen Fan. She felt that there were too few Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the world. With Chen Fan's requirements being so high, finding one would definitely be difficult.
"I haven't thought of whom to look for for my third ring yet. For now, having two rings is enough for me to fool around with." Chen Fan didn't answer for the moment, though he had thought of something in his heart.
Afterward, on the way back to Heaven Dou Imperial City, Chen Fan also unlocked his third mission.
Choose any of the following forces to subjugate. Occupy that force and win over the hearts of its people to unlock the second page of the Imperial Script. Force One: Spirit Hall Force Two: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Force Three: Clear Sky Sect Force Four: Extreme North Empire Force Five: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Force Six: Sea God Island Force Seven: Heaven Dou Empire ...
Chen Fan looked over the forces he could choose from. Among them were some small kingdoms that would be easier to deal with than the Clear Sky Sect.
After laying his plans for so long, he naturally wouldn't choose something easier. He was determined to become the master of the Clear Sky Sect!
"Choose the Clear Sky Sect," Chen Fan silently said.
"Selection successful. Please occupy the Clear Sky Sect within ten days and make everyone submit to you. Also, make the Clear Sky Sect gather the former lower four clans. During this period, the host may intervene."
Chen Fan looked at the mission description and was somewhat dumbfounded when he saw the words "the host may intervene."
Could there be things I won't be allowed to interfere in later?
Chen Fan began to feel that something was off. This system really was making him play a cultivation game.
But that suited him perfectly. There was no point in fighting and killing all day.
Developing things was what a true expert should do.
When he went to war in the future, he could come out, boast a few words, then sit there and watch the show while waiting for the army to achieve a complete victory.
That kind of life really did sound wonderful. However, with such an excessive daydreaming element, it would probably be difficult to realize. For now, he could only fantasize about it.
"You're going to the Clear Sky Sect? Have you told that person?" In Heaven Dou Imperial City, Qian Renxue learned that Chen Fan was about to head to the Clear Sky Sect.
She still felt that it was somewhat unreliable. Wasn't it a little too much of a joke for Chen Fan to go alone?
"No, I've invited two experts to go with me." Chen Fan shook his head at Qian Renxue.
"Who?" Qian Renxue asked.
"Why should I tell you? Don't forget what your mission is. You just need to obediently wait for news of my victory." Chen Fan rolled his eyes at her.
Qian Renxue was somewhat helpless. This fellow really was a headache.
"Call Dugu Bo over later. I have something to give him," Chen Fan said.
"Dugu Bo?" Qian Renxue was somewhat suspicious, but seeing that Chen Fan didn't want to explain, she could only obediently go call him.
While Qian Renxue was away, Chen Fan prepared a package. Inside was the item containing the Soul Tool. He planned to give it to Chrysanthemum Douluo, who specialized in studying Immortal Herbs, and have him help cultivate them.
Dugu Bo didn't know much about Immortal Herbs. He could only be called an expert in poison.
Chen Fan wrote a letter greeting his little fox, Hu Liena.
The letter's contents were to have Hu Liena give the item to Chrysanthemum Douluo and make him take good care of it without swallowing anything recklessly.
If he messed around, Chen Fan would tell his teacher and threaten him with the consequences.
After everything was ready, Poison Douluo was invited over by Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe.
"Boy, what do you want with me?" Poison Douluo looked at Chen Fan and asked rather arrogantly.
Qian Renxue had wanted to stay and eavesdrop, but Chen Fan sent her away.
This made her extremely unhappy. She had done everything for Chen Fan, yet she didn't even have the right to know what was going on.
If I'd known this would happen, I should have stalled a little instead of agreeing to that fellow so quickly.
Only Chen Fan and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo remained in the room.
"Senior, I raided your lair." Chen Fan's opening words immediately made Dugu Bo's brows furrow.
Dugu Bo was quite confused and didn't understand what Chen Fan meant.
"It's like this. Earlier, when I was wandering around Sunset Forest, I accidentally came to the place where Senior cultivates medicinal herbs. From the poisonous miasma, I guessed that it might be your territory, so I took everything inside."
Only then did Dugu Bo understand, though he was also somewhat puzzled.
How could this brat have entered the poisonous miasma I arranged? He was still rather suspicious.
"After taking your things, my conscience bothered me, so I decided to tell you about it, Senior," Chen Fan said with some guilt.
He also produced the evidence.
The moment Dugu Bo saw the Immortal Herbs, his face turned green.
Good heavens, weren't those the medicinal herbs he had cultivated?
"Boy, are you deliberately humiliating me?"
"Or are you declaring war on me?"
Dugu Bo's tone immediately turned hostile.
He slammed his hand on the table and glared at Chen Fan.
His white hair trembled wildly, and the wrinkles on his face bunched together. He looked just like a tiger throwing a tantrum.
"Calm down. I have no intention of provoking an expert in poison. I'm telling you because I truly felt guilty after taking your things. Senior, please don't misunderstand me."
Chen Fan revealed a pure, clear gaze.
Dugu Bo was about to explode again, but in the next moment, he heard Chen Fan say that he could help resolve the problem in his body.
Only then did he restrain himself and look at Chen Fan with some disbelief.
How does this brat know about my condition?
Did Xue Qinghe let something slip?
Chen Fan took out the Spirit Bone produced by his European Emperor physique and placed it before Dugu Bo. He told him that he only needed to store the poison affecting his body inside the Spirit Bone.
Dugu Bo listened as Chen Fan rambled on about a whole pile of things. He was gradually convinced and felt that it seemed to make some sense.
"This is indeed a method. Is this your way of atoning for your crime?"
Dugu Bo looked at Chen Fan. For some reason, he inexplicably began to like this brat.
Wouldn't a normal person who had stolen something try to hide it so that no one would discover them?
If Chen Fan hadn't told him about this today, Dugu Bo might have returned to his lair later, found that it had been looted, and still remained completely in the dark.
Not to mention finding the culprit in the vast Douluo Continent.
"Boy, you do have some conscience. You know that taking other people's things is wrong." Dugu Bo smiled and patted Chen Fan on the shoulder.
Chen Fan smiled as well.
Originally, Dugu Bo hadn't wanted to let the matter go so easily. But Chen Fan had sent him a Spirit Bone and even told him how to resolve the problem in his body, leaving him with nothing to argue about.
His thoughts of asking for something in return had completely vanished as well.
"Considering your attitude in admitting your mistake, I'll forgive you this time." Dugu Bo finally said this.
"If I can cultivate them on a large scale in the future, I'll send some Immortal Herbs over." Chen Fan only said this.
Afterward, the two chatted for a while.
"I have a granddaughter. Because of me, she has also suffered greatly. You seem like a decent person, boy. Would you be interested?"
Chen Fan thought about it. Knowing that Dugu Bo was probably referring to Dugu Yan, he merely threw out a smokescreen.
"I'll definitely visit you another day. If I have any new ideas, I'll tell you as well, so your granddaughter can resolve the problem in her body more effectively."
Dugu Bo was quite satisfied after hearing this. Some time later, Chen Fan saw him off.
