Chapter 117: Traveling Together
Qian Renxue left, and Bibi Dong returned to the Pope Palace with a livid expression.
"Elder Gui, Elder Ju!"
The figures of the two suddenly appeared behind Bibi Dong; one wore golden armor with a bewitching temperament, while the other wore black armor with a gloomy expression. Both bowed in unison, "Your subordinates are here!"
"You two, immediately pass down the order to stop all actions our people are taking against Nan Feihuang. I have thought about it carefully; out of sentiment and righteousness, I was, after all, good friends with Lan Xue back in the day, and I even personally presided over her Title ceremony. Taking action against her son is somewhat heartless and unrighteous. Out of interest, the Gu Lei Kingdom will be extremely helpful in providing grain and forage for the great army after my Spirit Hall establishes its nation in the future. Originally, the relationship was not bad, so there is no need to turn into enemies." Bibi Dong found a way to step down for herself; she had already made arrangements to deal with Nan Feihuang, but now she had to cancel the plan.
She had thought about destroying the Qian Family, destroying the Spirit Hall, destroying the continent, and even destroying herself, but the only thing she had never thought about was destroying the Master.
She also knew that Qian Renxue kept her word; as long as she dared to touch Nan Feihuang, Qian Renxue would inevitably mince Yu Xiaogang into meat paste.
"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope!" Ju Gui Douluo received the order and immediately went down to make arrangements, without asking why Bibi Dong had changed her order so quickly.
Or rather, what Bibi Dong had just issued was the normal order; the previous inexplicable desire to kill Nan Feihuang was truly incomprehensible.
Although the Spirit Hall did indeed have a history of killing geniuses, it was not all of them. Those they killed were all highly talented, without backgrounds, and had no good feelings toward the Spirit Hall, having clearly expressed their desire to join the Upper Three Sects or the Two Great Empires.
In the current situation, Nan Feihuang was not someone without a background; he was the Crown Prince of the Gu Lei Kingdom and the son of the Profound Ice Douluo, and he was almost pouring his heart and soul out to Qian Renxue. That Bibi Dong suddenly wanted to kill him was truly baffling.
To offend Qian Renxue for this, and to forge a deadly feud with the Gu Lei Kingdom and the Profound Ice Douluo, was neither worth it nor wise!
The two Douluo left, and Bibi Dong was left alone in the Pope Palace again. She sighed faintly, "Very well, Xiao Xue, you are truly like me back then; once you give your heart, you will risk everything for it. However, you are luckier than I was."
Qian Renxue had Qian Daoliu behind her, along with a bunch of Title Douluo protecting her; her experiences could not be replicated in her daughter.
Nan Feihuang was also far stronger than Yu Xiaogang; given time, he would surely be able to ascend to the pinnacle of this world.
With their potential, their future had every opportunity to be held in their own hands, unlike her and Yu Xiaogang back then, who could only be at the mercy of others.
The unwillingness and jealousy in her heart seemed to be about to swallow her whole. She swore that she would absolutely not let those two be together so happily.
"Xiao Xue, I will definitely kill Nan Feihuang. In the future, you will just have to go to the God Realm all alone. Even if you cannot become a god, when I achieve the Rakshasa God, I will forcibly take you up there. Do not blame me; if you must blame someone, blame Qian Xunji!"
Even though Bibi Dong had already killed Qian Xunji with her own hands, it had only vented one ten-thousandth of the hatred in her heart. As his daughter, Qian Renxue was merely taking her father's place to bear the remainder of Bibi Dong's hatred.
The eventful night finally passed.
The next day, the morning sun rose, and everything was peaceful.
It was as if the great battle between the three Title Douluo and the confrontation between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue from last night had never happened at all.
At the entrance of the tavern, the Shrek group and the others gathered together.
Qin Ming stepped forward and said, "Everyone, I agreed with Zhao Lao Shi yesterday. Since our goal is the same, the Star Dou Great Forest, we might as well travel together for mutual support."
"Travel with them?" Dugu Yan frowned. She was fine with the rest of Shrek, but she found Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, who had said that women were resources and not people, to be eyesores no matter how she looked at them.
"What, is it beneath you to travel with us? Hmph, this young lady doesn't want to be with this toad lusting after a swan either!" Ning Rongrong looked at Nan Feihuang and said. Actually, she had no good feelings for Dai Mubai either, but she was even more resentful toward Nan Feihuang now.
It was all this guy's fault that her father scolded her, then she ran away from home and suffered all sorts of grievances at Shrek; Nan Feihuang was the culprit.
Besides, with her status, if Nan Feihuang wanted to marry her, he should have proposed more times; how could he give up after one failure? He even wanted her to turn around and try to get in touch with him—what a joke!
She completely failed to grasp where Ning Fengzhi's true concern for her lay.
No matter how strong the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul was, it was only a Support System; if there were no powerful combat-type Spirit Masters to support them, they would be incomparably fragile.
Now Ning Fengzhi had that pair of Sword and Bone by his side, but what about Ning Rongrong in the future?
Among the affiliated families of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, there had not been a talent capable of becoming a Title Douluo born for many years.
By Ning Rongrong's side, she needed a Title Douluo who could protect her. Even if they could not become husband and wife, becoming friends would be good. Otherwise, how could the three people who had always loved her to the bone bear to let her suffer grievances?
Facing Ning Rongrong's furious gaze, Nan Feihuang only felt it was inexplicable and was too lazy to pay any attention to her. She had no utility value to him, and even if she hated him, he did not care at all.
As for Qin Ming agreeing to set off with Shrek, it was within his expectations.
After all, it was rare to run into a teacher, and since both sides had the same destination, traveling together was human nature.
That was fine too. Tang San seemed to have developed murderous intent toward him. Hindered by Tang Hao, it was not convenient for him to slaughter Tang San in front of everyone right now, lest he drive Tang Hao insane.
Nan Feihuang knew that even if Lan Xue broke through to Title Douluo, she was no match for Tang Hao. Now was not the time for a life-or-death struggle with him, unless he grew up, or one day, the Extreme Attribute hidden within Lan Xue's body awakened once again.
However, even if he could not kill Tang San now, it was not a difficult task to add a little trouble that would make Tang San grateful to him. By then, Tang San might even treat him as a superficial friend.
"Alright, alright, didn't we clear up yesterday's misunderstanding? We wouldn't have become friends without fighting; everyone, let go of your grudges. The Star Dou Great Forest is extremely dangerous, and having one more person means one more bit of support," Tang San said with a smile.
"Forget it, for the sake of this Brother Tang, we won't haggle with you all!" Yu Tianheng said.
He really had a good impression of Tang San; he was not weak in strength and knew how to advance and retreat.
The reason he got angry yesterday was because his sister was injured. Although he was a bit impulsive, it was understandable. Later, when he realized he was wrong, he immediately apologized to Nan Feihuang.
He was much better than those Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.
Dai Mubai also said, "That's what I should be saying. For the sake of Xiao San mediating for you, traveling together is fine."
As expected of the original protagonist, this superficial work was always done so perfectly, allowing him to be well-received by both the Imperial Dou and Shrek sides.
I'm a bit busy at home today, so there's less of an update. I apologize to all the book friends and masters; I will make up for it by working overtime when I have time later.
