In a magnificent palace in Heaven Dou City, two youths sat holding hands. One was refined and gentle, the other incomparably handsome. One had some embarrassment in her eyes, while the other's burned with fervor.
Behind them, a girl in an emerald-green dress wiped at her nosebleed, thinking incessantly, Don't stop, don't stop! I'm lending you my husband!
One young person could not bear it any longer and said, "Brother Xinghe, aren't you tired from holding my hand? Won't you let go for a moment?"
The other youth said, "Brother Qinghe, I'm not tired. I don't know why, but the moment I saw you, I felt incredibly close to you, as if you were my brother who had been lost for many years!" His hand kept kneading hers, as though he were enjoying the feel of it.
That was right, Bai Xiao had met Qian Renxue, and Bai Xiao was extraordinarily excited! This was the number one beauty of Douluo Continent. Ever since Bai Xiao had taken Qian Renxue's offered hand, he had not let go.
At the side, Dugu Yan seemed to have awakened some strange attribute. She was not worried in the slightest about her husband holding another girl's hand. Bai Xiao secretly rejoiced. This is the benefit of an information gap!
Bai Xiao and Dugu Yan were both very happy.
As for Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing—sorry, Bai Xiao did not think much of them at all!
Bai Xiao had Dugu Bo use the method he had used to modify him to modify those two things as well.
Of course, Bai Xiao used the lowest-grade version. Those two bumpkins, Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing, eagerly accepted the modification. Their Martial Souls absorbed some Dragon Clan bloodline, and their lifespans increased by more than a hundred years.
Those two fellows were overjoyed. Bai Xiao had repaid the favor Dugu Bo owed Prince Xue Xing, leaving Dugu Bo with no lingering worries.
Bai Xiao was also able to meet Qian Renxue, the number one beauty of Douluo Continent whom he had been thinking about.
In order to win over Dugu Bo, a Title Douluo, Qian Renxue gladly agreed to this meeting. As a result, she encountered Bai Xiao, this thing that kept kneading her hand.
For the greater good, Qian Renxue restrained the urge to beat Bai Xiao up and asked him warmly, "Brother Xinghe, what do you think of the imperial family?"
Bai Xiao's expression instantly turned solemn. "Your Highness the Crown Prince, forgive my bluntness, but I am deeply disappointed in the noble system of Douluo Continent!"
Qian Renxue's heart churned. What does he mean by saying this to me, the Crown Prince? How am I supposed to respond? Yet she still asked warmly, "Oh? Why is that?"
Bai Xiao smiled and asked Qian Renxue in return, "Who do you think has contributed the most to human civilization?"
Without hesitation, Qian Renxue said, "The gods!"
Bai Xiao smiled again. He raised his right index finger and waved it before him. "Gods? No. I say it should be ordinary people, low-level Soul Masters, and those who have made outstanding contributions to the development of soul tools!"
Qian Renxue asked in confusion, "Why?"
Bai Xiao explained, "What do you think the role of high-level Soul Masters is in human society?"
Qian Renxue fell silent for a moment before saying, "Military deterrence!"
Bai Xiao revealed a smile. "Correct. To human society, high-level Soul Masters are like weapons—extremely dangerous weapons—used to eliminate soul beasts and enemies within their own camps!"
Yet they often occupied the most resources!
The food of countless thousands across Douluo Continent came from the hands of ordinary people and low-level Soul Masters.
Yet they often possessed the fewest resources. On Douluo Continent, an ordinary family of four only needed one Gold Soul Coin a year if they lived frugally!
And in this world, those with the most Gold Soul Coins were often high-level Soul Masters. They often held important positions, serving as the governors of cities, or as 'weapons with thoughts,' harvesting the people's interests through absolute force.
As for nobles, do you think they are useful? Their extravagant spending and hypocritical nobility enslave the people.
Have they contributed anything to civilization?"
Qian Renxue fell silent. She felt that this youth was rather handsome—if only he were not constantly kneading her hand.
From afar, Dugu Bo felt that Bai Xiao was cursing him.
