Chapter 91: Bo Saixi Still Looks Down on Qian Daoliu
Qingluan Douluo and Xiongshi Douluo ignored the Spirit Hall Spirit Masters, instead clasping their hands towards Sea God Island.
"Qingluan, Third High Priest of Spirit Hall."
"Xiongshi, Fourth High Priest of Spirit Hall."
"By order, we request an audience with Bo Saixi, the Sea God Douluo."
The moment their voices fell, a cold snort, like a thunderclap, rang in their ears. Qingluan and Xiongshi both groaned simultaneously as nine brilliant spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—rose into view, instantly completing their Martial Soul possession.
The one who had let out the cold snort was Bo Saixi. A golden light descended a hundred meters opposite them. Though she was not seen, her voice was heard. "What did Qian Daoliu send you here for? Are you invading my Sea God Island?"
The immense pressure instantly turned their faces pale.
The expressions of Qingluan and Xiongshi, both Titled Douluo, changed drastically. Although they had long known that she, like their own High Priest, was a peerless Douluo, they hadn't expected her strength to be so formidable. She wasn't even physically present, yet she could suppress them just by releasing spiritual pressure from a distance.
"Not at all," Qingluan Douluo said. "We came here to prevent a conflict between Spirit Hall and Sea God Island. Additionally, the High Priest asked us to deliver a message to the Sea God Douluo."
"Speak," Bo Saixi's voice echoed again from the golden light. Vaguely, everyone present seemed to detect a hint of disdain and impatience.
He needs others to speak for him, not even daring to come in person, Bo Saixi thought. Compared to Tang Chen, he is simply too far behind.
Qingluan frowned and said, "The High Priest asked me to convey that this matter was not his original intention."
On the other side of the golden light, Bo Saixi's voice was silent for a moment before she replied, "I understand. Let this be the last time. If there is a next time, I will personally go to the continent and destroy your Spirit Hall."
After she finished speaking, the golden light vanished, giving Qingluan and Xiongshi no chance to respond. Annoyed but powerless, they did not act out. Who could blame them when the situation was so far beyond their control? In the sea, not even their own High Priest could defeat the master of that golden light.
"By order of the High Priest, this operation is canceled," Qingluan Douluo announced, turning to the kneeling Spirit Hall Spirit Masters. "All Spirit Masters belonging to Spirit Hall are forbidden from entering Sea God Island for life unless granted permission by the High Priest. Violators will be executed."
Though Qian Daoliu had retreated from the public eye for many years, his authority in Spirit Hall—and indeed, the entire Douluo Continent—was absolute. Even the Supreme Pontiff was his son and had to obey his orders.
"Retreat!" At the command of Xiongshi Douluo, the force of over two thousand Spirit Masters, led by Bibi Dong and four other Titled Douluo, turned their ships around and sped back in the direction they came from, quickly disappearing from sight.
Inside the Elder Palace, Qin Xuan leaned his head into Nong Yu's soft embrace, flipping through "The Ten Core Competitiveness of Martial Souls," which Gui Mei had just brought him.
"The limit for the first spirit ring is 423 years... The fourth spirit ring is 5,120 years... Tsk tsk," he grinned from ear to ear. "This is solid proof. Let's see what those sycophants who praise Yu Xiaogang's theories will say now. The original work said 5,000 years. Because of me, Spirit Hall's fourth spirit ring record was updated to 5,120 years, and that old fellow copied it directly. He has no shame at all."
Just a few days ago, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo had been ordered to pressure the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, using the accusations from families of Spirit Masters harmed by Yu Xiaogang's theories. As he had guessed, the clan could not withstand the pressure and expelled Yu Xiaogang.
"My Lord, is this book really that funny?" Nong Yu asked. Her rounded chest pressed tightly against the back of Qin Xuan's head, with only a layer of bathrobe separating them. She had just finished bathing when Qin Xuan had pulled her over to act as his pillow. As for A Yan, Qin Xuan had bought her some toys from the system's mall, and she was playing by herself quietly.
"Let's not talk about the book for now," Qin Xuan said, shifting his position to press his ear against Nong Yu's lower abdomen. "Nong Yu, your heart seems to be beating very fast."
Nong Yu felt her heart pound even more intensely, and she instantly turned into a steaming beauty. She had anticipated this day ever since she agreed to be his personal maid, but facing it still left her anxious and flustered.
"My Lord's heart is also beating very fast," she whispered, her slender hands unconsciously clutching her collar.
"How old are you this year?" Qin Xuan slowly sat up, cupping her flawless face in his hands. He sighed at her beauty; even among the beauties of the Douluo Continent, her temperament was unmatched.
"Eighteen by lunar age," Nong Yu lowered her head, biting her red lip lightly.
"So you're only seventeen? I'm a bit older than you, twenty," Qin Xuan said. He took a Thousand Gold Coat from his system's storage and draped it over her. "This is a special spirit tool. It can resist blades, prevent miasma, repair itself, and change styles at will."
The moment it was draped over her, the coat transformed into a golden, off-the-shoulder court gown, accentuating her noble temperament.
"From now on, you don't have to be so worried," he chuckled reassuringly. "Although I'm not a good person, I have my own code of conduct and will never force a woman to do that kind of thing."
Nong Yu's beautiful eyes looked at the dress in surprise, a hint of gratitude in her expression. She stood up excitedly, escaping his clutches. "Thank you for your understanding, My Lord."
Understanding my ass, Qin Xuan muttered internally. If Jing Ni hadn't returned, and Ling Yuan wasn't coming later, would I have let you go? But on the surface, he remained composed. Besides, Nong Yu was so beautiful, she was worth a little effort.
