Chapter 7 The Crown Prince's Crisis
[Personal Target (Tang Yuehua) Progress: 60%]
"He only has level nine soul power, and his body is too weak."
Xiao Lin held the soft and boneless Tang Yuehua in his arms and sighed inwardly. He hadn't had his fill before Tang Yuehua couldn't hold on any longer. Only a Soul Master of the same level as Bibi Dong could withstand his Demonic Dragon Body.
His gaze slowly moved down to the slightly protruding belly, and Xiao Lin revealed a smug smile, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.
[Friendly Reminder: If the target's level is too low and the gap between it and the host's level is too large, you can have it refine a small amount of dragon blood to gradually strengthen its physique.]
"Hmm? This is good!"
Xiao Lin's eyes lit up. Strengthening Tang Yuehua's frail body little by little wasn't a bad idea.
He himself is a great medicine that embodies the essence of heaven and earth, and a little bit of dragon blood in his body is enough to transform her.
Xiao Lin gently laid Tang Yuehua, who was resting her head on his arm, down, and got up to look out the window. It was already afternoon.
Compared to Xiao Lin, who was fighting for the great cause of the Dark Dragon Clan, Bibi Dong in the Papal Palace of Wuhun City was indeed frowning.
"Teacher, Elder Kikuki and the others have been rescued. You can rest assured."
Hu Liena addressed Bibi Dong, who sat high on the papal throne, with respect.
"I understand, you may leave."
"Teacher, you've looked worried ever since you came back. I'd like to share your burden."
Hu Liena hesitated for a moment, but did not choose to leave.
"How can you help me with something I can't even do myself?"
Bibi Dong shook her head slightly, her slender fingers gently rubbing her brow. It seemed that the only way to save Qian Renxue was to ask that person for help.
"Go down now, you'll be going to Death Valley for training tomorrow."
"teacher!"
Hu Liena hesitated, unable to understand why the Spirit Hall, with its immense power, would suffer such a crushing defeat. Her teacher's face was even more grim upon his return, and he could barely walk. Moreover, the elders who accompanied him were still unconscious.
"Your Holiness, I have important news to report!"
"Hmm? Speak."
"This... please preview, Your Majesty."
The elder glanced at Hu Liena and silently took out a secret letter.
"Nana, bring me the letter."
Bibi Dong frowned slightly, puzzled as to what could be so mysterious.
"Yes, teacher."
Hu Liena took the envelope, walked up the steps, and handed it to Bibi Dong.
"What?!"
After reading the contents, Bibi Dong's face instantly turned extremely gloomy, and she almost lost control of her terrifying soul power.
"You bastard! Get out of here."
"Yes."
"Teacher, what happened?"
"Nana, I need you to do something."
Bibi Dong said in a deep voice, she felt that something was wrong, that the demonic dragon could not have let Qian Renxue go.
"Please give me your instructions, teacher."
"I want you to go to Tiandou City and investigate secretly to see if there are any differences between Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and before he was kidnapped. Remember to report back to me as soon as possible."
"Remember, don't let anyone find out. To make things easier, I'll personally choose a soul bone for you tomorrow."
Thinking of that strange and unpredictable ability, Bibi Dong took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"Thank you, teacher."
Hu Liena's expression turned solemn. A task that required her teacher to personally select a soul bone for her must be extremely dangerous.
"Don't thank me yet. This is very dangerous. You are my disciple and the person I trust most. Take care of yourself."
Bibi Dong's expression was grave. Even the disguise of the angelic divine armor had been seen through. Even though she had equipped Hu Liena with a high-level soul bone, she was still not at ease.
"It seems that the only way to subdue that demonic dragon is to hurry up and add soul rings to my Soul Devouring Spider Emperor Martial Soul and break through to the God level as soon as possible."
She thought to herself, a strong sense of urgency welling up inside her.
Tiandou City, Imperial Palace
"Sect Leader Ning, this is very strange. That demonic dragon suddenly appeared, kidnapped the Crown Prince, and then disappeared. Now it has released the Crown Prince. What exactly is it up to?"
"Judging from the situation that day, that demonic dragon might be a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, or even a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, that has never been seen before."
Emperor Xueye's face was full of worry. The existence of such unstable factors in his empire made him anxious.
"Your Majesty, we did find some signs of battle on our way to the Star Dou Great Forest, which we suspect were the work of a Title Douluo. I do have a theory in mind, but it's unlikely."
Ning Fengzhi leaned on his cane and looked at Emperor Xueye on the throne.
"Fengzhi, tell me about it quickly."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin, standing to the side, looked on with curiosity.
"Hmm... I guess this is what happened: a dragon egg appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest, and it was discovered by an elder of the Spirit Hall. The elder sent people to guard it, but the aura emitted by the dragon egg attracted powerful spirit beasts from the surrounding area. The elder was outnumbered and hid the egg, but it was picked up by Prince Xue Qinghe, who happened to be in the Star Dou Great Forest, and brought back to the palace."
"After returning, the demonic dragon hatched soon after. As everyone knows, soul beasts like demonic dragons have a love for money and beautiful women that is no less than that of humans. Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is handsome and outstanding. The demonic dragon may be a female dragon, so it took a fancy to the crown prince and captured him from the palace."
"But this demonic dragon was unlucky; it encountered the Spirit Hall's encirclement as soon as it entered the Star Dou Great Forest, and Prince Xue Qinghe escaped because of this."
"This also matches the reason why the demonic dragon suddenly let him go, as the prince mentioned."
"Hiss, that makes sense, but Fengzhi, there's something wrong with what you said."
"Oh? Uncle Bone, what did I say wrong?"
"Hehe, I once asked the Crown Prince, and he said that the demonic dragon was male. I think after it captured Xue Qinghe, it must have found a place to try to force itself on him, but when it found out that Xue Qinghe was male, it lost interest. Just as it was about to kill him, the people from the Spirit Hall came looking for it, so it gave up in frustration."
"Hmm! I think that explanation is closer to the truth. Otherwise, why would he have changed his clothes?"
"Tsk, now that's why he looked so strange when he came back. We were the ones who were abrupt; it's certainly not a good thing if word gets out."
Emperor Xueye nodded slightly, then a look of worry appeared on his face.
"Gentlemen, I am worried that Qinghe may be traumatized by this incident, which could affect his ability to have children."
"This... Your Majesty, even if something goes wrong, it can be treated."
"Physical issues are manageable, but I fear that mental illness is difficult to cure. The succession to the throne is a matter of great importance, and my health is deteriorating day by day. Therefore, I am thinking that if the Crown Prince is not capable in that area, we can consider changing the heir..."
"This... Your Majesty, this concerns the future development of the Heavenly Dou Empire; we cannot act rashly!"
Ning Fengzhi's eyelids twitched. Xue Qinghe was his disciple. If the crown prince were replaced, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would suffer a great loss.
"Alas, I know it is not the right time to do this. I will trouble Sect Leader Ning to urge him on. If a grandson is born, then pretend that I never said these words today."
Emperor Xueye sighed softly and left the main hall, dragging his increasingly frail and aged body.
"this……"
Ning Fengzhi and the other two exchanged glances, both amused and exasperated.
