Chapter 108: Subjugating Chrysanthemum Douluo
Pei Qing suddenly stopped flying, his gaze narrowing as he looked down in surprise.
Two very familiar figures appeared before his eyes.
Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo—no, was that Xiong Jun?
Pei Qing instantly understood what was happening and couldn't help but mourn for the two of them.
A Title Douluo, considered a famous powerhouse on the continent, yet so easily abandoned, even left here to fend for himself.
How tragic!
Pei Qing looked at the deceased Ghost Douluo, shook his head, and felt even more disdain for Bibi Dong.
It was truly shocking that someone like Bibi Dong could garner support.
She was too cold-hearted; in the entire Pope's Hall, only Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo supported Bibi Dong. Yet now, with Ghost Douluo dead and Chrysanthemum Douluo still salvageable, Bibi Dong simply abandoned him, not even considering saving him.
Recalling the original plot, Bibi Dong seemed to be like this too—after Ghost Douluo's death, Chrysanthemum Douluo was directly swept into a corner, completely abandoned as if he were trash, even used as cannon fodder to escort provisions.
"Bi Ji, Lord of the Great Sun, you're back!"
What strength Xiong Jun possessed! Although he was inferior to Bi Ji in cultivation, his combat power far surpassed Bi Ji's previous self. Even with Bi Ji's current evolution, she might not be 100% able to defeat Xiong Jun.
Moreover, since the two of them didn't deliberately conceal their whereabouts, Xiong Jun instantly detected their presence.
"Xiong Jun, what happened? What's with this human? Are they your prey?"
Bi Ji descended from the sky, curiously looking at Chrysanthemum Douluo lying on the ground, having lost all hope of survival, and asked with some curiosity.
"That guy Di Tian told me to find something tasty to entertain the Lord of the Great Sun. These guys ran into me, and instead of fleeing, they dared to attack me, so I taught them a lesson."
Xiong Jun gave Bi Ji and Pei Qing a simple smile, scratching his head, feeling inexplicably awkward.
"Xiong Jun, give me some face and hand him over to me, alright? I'll owe you a favor."
Although Chrysanthemum Douluo's strength was ordinary, keeping him alive would still be useful, as he could serve as a protector for Lingling and Bing'er.
"Done! If the Lord of the Great Sun is interested in this trash, just take him. Old Xiong has no objections."
Xiong Jun waved his hand indifferently, not taking Chrysanthemum Douluo seriously at all.
Pei Qing nodded, casually pulled a life-preserving Dragon Spirit Leaf from his soul guidance device, broke open Chrysanthemum Douluo's mouth, and tossed it in.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was still alive, just severely wounded and dying; now, a single Dragon Spirit Leaf was enough to sustain his life.
"Bi Ji, please help him with the treatment."
Pei Qing looked at Bi Ji and then spoke.
Bi Ji had no objections and directly scattered a large amount of life energy.
Under Bi Ji's treatment, Chrysanthemum Douluo's severely wounded and dying condition began to recover rapidly, and it didn't take long for him to return to normal.
The only thing that hadn't recovered was his depleted soul power, but this wasn't a big problem for a Title Douluo.
Chrysanthemum Douluo, having recovered, struggled to stand up from the ground. He glared resentfully at Xiong Jun, his eyes bloodshot!
Xiong Jun curled his lip in disdain, even threateningly raising his paw.
He was ready; if Chrysanthemum Douluo made any unusual move, he would immediately give him another swipe.
Xiong Jun truly didn't understand why the Lord of the Great Sun wanted such a weak human; he couldn't even block one of Old Xiong's paws, so he wondered what use he was.
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, you should deal with Ghost Douluo's body first, then wait for me in the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Having been abandoned by Bibi Dong, you probably don't plan on returning to Spirit Hall, do you?"
"If that's the case, why don't you come and work for me?"
Pei Qing looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo, speaking with a very calm gaze.
The Chrysanthemum was considered a top-tier Martial Soul, and it would be a great pity for it to disappear from the Douluo Continent.
So Pei Qing decided to take in Chrysanthemum Douluo. As for whether Chrysanthemum Douluo would agree?
With a bigger fist, Pei Qing believed no one would refuse.
"Pei Qing... do I, in this state, still have the qualifications to serve you?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice was hoarse. Being casually abandoned by the master he served had dealt a great blow to his heart.
At this moment, he looked at Pei Qing, his eyes dead and filled with sorrow.
"If you want to work for me, then you can work for me. If you don't, I won't let you leave so easily. Either way, you'll have to work for me."
Pei Qing chuckled; he had no intention of letting Chrysanthemum Douluo go.
"Since my life was saved by Pei Qing, I will work for Pei Qing starting today!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded without hesitation, picked up Ghost Douluo's body, and headed out of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Watching Chrysanthemum Douluo leave, Pei Qing turned his head back to Bi Ji and Xiong Jun.
"Let's go; Senior Di Tian must be waiting for us."
Without further hesitation, they headed toward the depths of the Lake of Life.
Not long after Pei Qing left, the golden Three-Eyed Golden Lion, resembling a Tibetan mastiff, appeared. Seeing no one, she grunted twice in dissatisfaction, then sniffed and walked directly toward the depths of the Lake of Life.
At the Lake of Life, Pei Qing felt the rich soul power. Although it wasn't his first time here, he still marveled at the environment.
"Lord of the Great Sun, welcome! My master has already told me your request. We have discussed it and are very willing to help you."
Di Tian looked at Pei Qing with a gentle smile. He was arguably the clearest about his master's intentions regarding this Lord of the Great Sun.
Moreover, having served as a Dragon God's guard for a period, he had some understanding of the Lord of the Great Sun's authority. One could say that this individual's minimum achievement would be a God King.
Therefore, being able to gain such a powerful ally for the Soul Beast Clan couldn't be better.
"Thank you, Senior Di Tian!"
Pei Qing nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face. He knew his worth and understood that Di Tian valued him because of that worth.
Therefore, he kept Di Tian's kindness in mind for future help. If he truly became a god in the future, he wouldn't show no appreciation.
At the very least, he would take good care of the Soul Beast Clan, as he wasn't the type to be ungrateful—eating with a bowl and then cursing after putting it down.
