On the way to Sea God Island, Qi Ling lay leisurely on the cloud she had created, legs crossed, with some kind of grass of unknown species dangling from her mouth, seemingly lost in thought.
Seeing Qi Ling like this, Xiao Wu couldn't help but have a mischievous idea. So she pounced on Qi Ling, then opened her mouth and snatched the grass from Qi Ling's mouth, happily putting it in her own mouth.
"Ugh, so sour!" Xiao Wu frowned, quickly spitting the blade of grass aside, and said angrily, "Honestly, Brother Qi, why are you carrying such a sour blade of grass in your mouth!"
Qi Ling smiled helplessly, "You silly girl, you didn't even tell me you were going to steal my grass. If I had known beforehand, I would have definitely gotten you a sweeter one."
"Hmph! You know perfectly well, you're just bullying me!" Xiao Wu pouted, but then she asked Qi Ling, " Brother Qi, what are you thinking about that's been so lost in thought? Tell me!"
Qi Ling laughed and said, "I was thinking, you're riding on top of me, and you're making it hard for me to breathe."
Although Xiao Wu was currently lying on top of Qi Ling, her light body wouldn't put any pressure on Qi Ling at all; Qi Ling was just teasing Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu then realized that her current posture was indeed a bit unseemly. If it were just her and Qi Ling here, it wouldn't be so bad, but with Luna and Yu Tianyi nearby, it was quite embarrassing.
Xiao Wu couldn't help but glance at Luna and Yu Tianyi beside her. The two seemed to be in perfect unison, one shifting her gaze to the left and the other to the right, but the blush on their faces betrayed their true thoughts.
After all, Qi Ling and Xiao Wu had been intimate, so it didn't matter if they did anything very intimate with each other. But Luna and Yu Tianyi were still innocent and naive children who didn't understand anything.
However, Xiao Wu was clearly unwilling to just leave like this, because it was a rare opportunity to see Qi Ling again, but she hadn't had a chance to be intimate with Qi Ling for the past few days, not even a slightly intimate gesture, which made Xiao Wu very restless.
So Xiao Wu quietly lay on Qi Ling's chest and gently drew circles on his body with her fingers, leaving Qi Ling feeling quite helpless.
In this strange and awkward atmosphere, Qi Ling said helplessly, "Sigh, whatever, why should I care so much!"
Then, Qi Ling hugged Luna and Yu Tianyi to her sides, with one of them on each side and Xiao Wu in the middle, completely filling Qi Ling's body.
"I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table. I've never been a gentleman!" Qi Ling thought to himself.
Held in Qi Ling's arms, Luna and Yu Tianyi showed no other reaction other than their faces turning even redder. In fact, the sudden shock left them completely at a loss for how to react.
Qi Ling had long been certain of Luna's feelings; after all, he couldn't let down a girl who was willing to risk her life for him.
After returning to the Douluo Continent, seeing everything Yu Tianyi had been doing quietly, Qi Ling realized that sometimes sacrifices don't always have to be grand and dramatic. Especially with the rather resentful look in the girl's eyes, Qi Ling couldn't ignore her feelings.
So Luna quietly lay down on Qi Ling without saying a word, while Yu Tianyi blushed and said, "Master, is this a bit inappropriate? After all, Senior Sister Xue Ke arrived before me, won't she be angry?"
Qi Ling then said, " Xue Ke? That girl... I'll go find her after I get back."
"Don't get distracted, Brother Qi!" Xiao Wu said, "You're holding all three of us right now! I won't allow you to think about anyone else!"
"Okay, fine, I don't want to think about it then," Qi Ling said helplessly.
The four of them remained in that position for a while, until Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask, " Brother Qi, you still haven't told me what you were thinking just now? You were so serious, it couldn't be something simple."
Qi Ling laughed, "Hehe, you noticed that? Xiao Wu, your observation skills are still so sharp."
"I am indeed thinking about some things, and they are not just my own matters, but matters concerning the Douluo Continent, or rather, matters concerning all Soul Master and all the people of the Douluo Continent."
"All Soul Master, all the people?" Xiao Wu raised her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Ah, Brother Qi, you're not talking about the Divine Court, are you?"
"The intelligence is about the Divine Court," Qi Ling said. "To be honest, Qian Xunji is no match for me right now, so I don't consider him a particularly serious threat."
"However, the Divine Court has the foundation of the Spirit Hall. Not only does it use faith to bind most Soul Master to their side, but it also has a powerful family background with dozens of Titled Douluo!"
"Faced with such an opponent, even if we win, it will be a pyrrhic victory, and it could even be a catastrophe for the entire Douluo Continent! Every soldier has a family waiting for them to return, so I don't want this war to become so brutal."
Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, Xiao Wu was at a loss for words, because it seemed to be a rather serious issue concerning the well-being of all people, something Xiao Wu couldn't comprehend.
"Then, Brother Qi, have you come up with any solution?" Unable to come up with a solution, Xiao Wu could only ask Qi Ling in the end.
Qi Ling shook her head helplessly and said, "I've thought about whether to just kill Qian Xunji and Xue Qinghe directly, so that the problem can be solved once and for all. But unfortunately, the difference in strength between us isn't that big right now, and Qian Xunji is very cautious; he won't die easily."
"And more importantly, what binds these Soul Master is their faith. After meeting the people of Sea God Island, you should know how terrifying faith can sometimes be. Unfounded trust is sometimes the furthest distance from understanding."
"Therefore, if Qian Xunji cannot personally issue orders to the Divine Court, even if he dies, there will likely be others who continue to carry out his commands! I have no doubt that Qian Xunji is the kind of person who wouldn't hesitate to drag the entire world into hell."
"Oh my god, Brother Qi, this guy is so evil!" Xiao Wu couldn't help but exclaim. "But we can't kill him, and we don't want too many casualties. What should we do?"
"That's the problem I've been thinking about, but I haven't come up with a good solution yet," Qi Ling said helplessly. "This isn't a problem that can be solved with strength; it's a problem that requires brains, and even more so, a problem that requires heart."
Xiao Wu at Qi Ling, Xiao Wu exclaimed with admiration, "Wow! Brother Qi, you're such a great person! I feel like I've never heard anyone else say things like this before!"
Yu Tianyi looked at Qi Ling with eyes that seemed to sparkle like stars, and said, "Master, now I understand why Senior Sister Xue Ke always said that if you were to become king, you would do a much better job than her! You are truly amazing, Master!"
