Sitting in the room, Qi Ling looked at Bai Ling'er, who was busy at work, and said, " Ling'er, stop what you're doing. Actually, there's something else I want to tell you."
"Besides wanting to show you around, there's another reason I've called you here. I have a bet with someone on the Douluo Continent, and I'd like you to participate."
Qi Ling then told Bai Ling'er the contents of the bet. After learning that Qi Ling had used the entire Douluo Continent as a wager, Bai Ling'er said, "Sigh? Master, isn't this bet too big?"
"There's no other way. Some things must be resolved as soon as possible. The longer they drag on, the more unfortunate it will be for the people of the Douluo Continent," Qi Ling said. "The struggle for supremacy among kings and nobles has nothing to do with ordinary people. War can only bring destruction and suffering to the people."
"Therefore, I hope to resolve this matter with the least possible conflict, and reaching such an agreement with Qian Xunji would benefit everyone."
"My lord, you've thought this through very thoroughly," Bai Ling'er said. "In that case, I'm willing to go to the Douluo Continent and participate in this competition."
"Thank you, Ling'er," Qi Ling said with a smile. She then inquired about the Bai Ling'er Dragon Clan, since Qi Ling was now essentially Dragon God and naturally wanted to show concern for her own people.
After some conversation and dinner, the sun began to set. Qi Ling smiled and said, "It's getting late. I'll rest here tonight, and I'll take you back tomorrow."
"Oh? Oh? My lord, are you going to rest now?" Bai Ling'er asked. "Or... I could stay with you a little longer?"
"Yes, that's fine. Ling'er, what would you like to talk about?" Qi Ling asked.
The two chatted for a while longer, but Bai Ling'er eventually came out helplessly. When Blue Dragon and the others saw Bai Ling'er come out, they couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Ling'er, why did you come out? Did you not succeed?"
Bai Ling'er shook her head regretfully and said, "No, I... I can't say it!"
"Sigh, you're usually so clever, why are you so shy now!" Blue Dragon said anxiously. "No way, hey, you guys, bring out all the potent medicines you've been hoarding! Today we're going to fight the Master to the death!"
Seeing that the group of lewd old men were about to start making their move, Bai Ling'er said, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, "Hey! Uncle Lan, what are you doing! Honestly, if you keep messing around like this, I'm not going to talk to you anymore!"
Blue Dragon said somewhat awkwardly, "Ah, haha, we're just thinking of you. Besides, it's rare for our lord to come here, so of course we should make the most of this opportunity!"
"No, there's still a chance." Bai Ling'er blushed and said, "I plan to go to that world with my lord, so I'll be staying with him for a long time."
Hearing Bai Ling'er say this, the Old Dragon immediately showed expressions of relief. The Blue Dragon laughed and said, "Hahaha, that's good, that's good! Ling'er, you can rest assured and go with the master. We'll take good care of Dragon Valley!"
So the next day, Qi Ling took Bai Ling'er back to the Douluo Continent. After all, time was of the essence. Although the Dragon Clan hoped that he could stay a little longer, the competition was the priority.
Upon returning to Dragon God Island, Qi Ling introduced Bai Ling'er to everyone. Xiao Wu and the others had met Bai Ling'er before, but the Dragon Maiden and Xi Xi were meeting them for the first time.
"Huh? It's actually the White Spirit Dragon clan? That's quite rare!" The Dragon Maiden circled around Bai Ling'er, seemingly very interested, and said, " The White Spirit Dragon clan is the noble clan among the Dragon Clan, and also the clan with the purest bloodline."
"If you have a child with your master, it will surely be incredibly powerful, right? It will definitely lead the Dragon Clan race to prosperity."
Since they were both Dragon Clan, the Dragon Maiden didn't take her words to heart at all, but Bai Ling'er blushed deeply. Qi Ling also said speechlessly, "Please, Dragon Maiden, don't act like a gossipy aunt urging someone to get married! Besides, consider Ling'er's feelings too! It's like an arranged marriage!"
The Dragon Maiden couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Hahaha, Master, really, do I need to ask Ling'er what she's thinking? It's written all over her face, do you think I can't see it?"
Upon hearing the Dragon Maiden's words, everyone immediately looked at Bai Ling'er, causing her to blush deeply. She hurriedly said, "I... I'm going out for some fresh air, it's so hot in here..."
After that, the Dragon Maiden didn't say anything more. However, when Qi Ling was about to leave Dragon God Island and return to Dragon's Glory, she specially kept Bai Ling'er behind, in addition to Bo Saixi.
" Ling'er has been staying in Dragon Valley, so she hasn't experienced many battles. In fact, her power is far from being fully unleashed," the Dragon Maiden said. "Let me teach her a few things these next few days."
"Although there may not be much improvement, it's better than nothing! Don't worry, Master, I'll have Ling'er return before the competition starts."
Qi Ling was naturally at ease with the Dragon Maiden's arrangements. As a relic left behind by the Dragon God, Qi Ling didn't believe that Dragon God Island wouldn't have something that could help the Dragon Clan.
So Qi Ling and the others returned to Dragon's Glory. As soon as they Dragon's Glory, Qi Ling sensed Qian Renxue's familiar aura, indicating that Bibi Dong had found her.
When Qi Ling saw Qian Renxue again, she was greatly surprised. The current Qian Renxue was even more like a qualified knight, dignified, righteous, noble, and breathtakingly beautiful.
Feeling embarrassed by Qi Ling's stare, Qian Renxue said, " Qi Ling, why are you staring at me? We're at the city gate; everyone's watching."
Qi Ling finally realized what was happening, while everyone around her seemed unfazed. Bibi Dong even laughed, "It's no wonder you reacted this way, Xue'er, it's just that you've changed so much."
"Really? Have I changed that much?" Qian Renxue asked Qi Ling.
"Ah, this..." Qi Ling didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only say, "You've changed a lot, you've become even more handsome. You look much more imposing than before."
"You smooth talker! I don't see any change in you!" Qian Renxue laughed. "I've already heard about the bet you made with Qian Xunji from my mother. Tell me the details."
"Great, that's perfect. I also have some updates I'd like to share with everyone," Qi Ling said. "Then let's all come to the City Lord's Mansion so I can summarize the information I have."
Many people came to the City Lord's Mansion this time, after all, this is an important competition that concerns everyone, and everyone has the right to know.
After everyone arrived, Qi Ling told them about her speculations regarding the Dragon Maiden, specifically Qian Jiyin's potential participation in the competition.
Upon hearing about such a formidable opponent, everyone's expressions darkened. Especially since, according to Qi Ling, apart from him, no one present could reliably defeat Qian Jiyin, which meant they had already lost the first round.
"Is this Qian Jiyin really that powerful?" Tang San asked at this moment.
"He's very strong," Qi Ling said. "Moreover, he's in the Devil Realm; he must have gained something else. We have no choice but to forfeit this match."
