—------------------—
After the little test, Wang Dong sobered up and was in a panic, not knowing what to do.
From that night on, Wang Dong fell into deep distress, deeply regretting that she had listened to the arrangements of her elder and second fathers and disguised herself as a man.
Not only is my daily life troublesome, but now even my friendship has deteriorated without me noticing!
The original trip plan to Mingdu was cut short, and Wang Dong's goal changed from traveling to relax to win back his friends.
However, two months later...
At the gate of Mingdu capital.
Changing back into women's clothes, with long pink-blue hair reaching her waist, Wang Dong'er, who was extremely beautiful, welcomed the farewell procession. She sighed as she did not see the person she wanted to see the most in the procession.
Ling Luochen stepped forward with a complicated expression and said to Wang Dong'er, "Dong'er, Xiao Xiao asked me to tell you that she's very confused right now and wants to focus all her time and energy on cultivation. We can deal with these complicated emotional issues later."
Wang Dong'er sniffled, nodded with her head drooping, and cried, "Senior Ling, I really didn't mean to lie to her. It was all my eldest and second fathers, and my bastard old father who's gone nowhere, who asked for it."
"My eldest and second fathers were worried that I was too good-looking and would be bullied if I entered Shrek. I was young at the time and did as they said. Who would have thought that not only would I still be hunted by lunatics even after disguising myself as a man, but now even Xiao Xiao ignores me, wuwuwu..."
Ling Luochen looked up and down at Wang Dong'er, who had grown up a little. She was indeed extremely beautiful. Ling Luochen felt ashamed of herself and Jiang Nannan was also a little bit behind her.
However, it seems that they are not as beautiful as the pair of sisters that the Duke of Zhenguo brought back when he returned to the city. Ning Tian said that they were the most beautiful girls she had ever seen in her life.
Of course, Wang Dong'er was beautiful, but she was also truly miserable. They had prepared several tests for Wang Dong'er, but who would have thought that she would die after the first one...
Zhang Lexuan stepped forward, wiped Wang Dong'er's tears with a tissue, and comforted her softly, "Now that things have come to this, don't be too sad. We believe you will have a chance to make amends in the future..."
Wang Dong'er is the young master of Haotian Sect, and she can't afford to suffer any harm here.
"Yeah..." Wang Dong'er responded with a sniffle, and her mood finally improved a little.
Xu Sanshi did not go up. He felt that he was not suitable for this kind of scene. He just glanced at Jiang Nannan next to him and asked her if she wanted to go up and persuade them.
Jiang Nannan gave a helpless look in response, saying that she and Wang Dong'er were not familiar with each other, and it was impossible to persuade her in this situation. Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen had already said everything.
"Okay, this is really a mess. Those guys from the Haotian Sect who only know how to use hammers probably have muscles in their heads."
Xu Sanshi complained in his heart about the Haotian Sect's unreliability. At the same time, he unnoticedly activated the invisible communicator in his earlobe and sent a message to a very distant place:
The young master of Haotian Sect is leaving, and the situation is turning from danger to safety.
A genius blacksmith who was secluded underground stopped swinging his hammer and sent a message to Xu Sanshi to investigate further and report back.
Xu Sanshi quickly sent another message, saying that Wang Dong'er, who had been crying for a while, had boarded the return carriage at the urging of her elders, and Ling Luochen accompanied her out of the country, just like when she came, except that there was one less person.
In the retreat area thousands of meters underground in the Heavenly Palace, Xu Tianxi removed more than 90% of the impurities from a piece of common metal, silver, then put the metal and the forging hammer aside, took out the ultra-long-range photography and live broadcast soul guide, and observed the gate of Mingdu City and the conditions along the way from a distance.
Seeing that Wang Dong'er really got on the carriage for her return journey as Xu Sanshi had said, Xu Tianxi couldn't help but wipe his sweat secretly and breathed a sigh of relief.
The dirty stuff was finally sent away and we are safe for now.
Nearby, forging technical instructor Gu Zhaoqiu saw Xu Tianxi stop forging iron and turn to watch the remote live broadcast. He raised his delicate eyebrows slightly and asked:
"Is that the young master of the Haotian Sect in the carriage that you're avoiding? She's quite pretty, isn't she?"
"It's her."
Xu Tianxi said with a serious face: "If it was just her, I wouldn't be afraid at all. I have never been inferior to others in my life, and I am not afraid of competing with my peers."
"But she's not entirely herself. She's a tool carefully crafted by the god behind her. This is terrifying. I'm not avoiding her, but the inhuman being behind her. His methods are too dirty."
"Sister, remember this. Don't be alone with her for too long. If anything happens, remember to call Di Tian and Gu Yuena. I'm worried that something might happen to you alone."
Gu Zhaoqiu nodded, not quite understanding, a thoughtful glint in his red eyes.
Seeing that Gu Zhaoqiu still didn't understand the seriousness of the situation, Xu Tianxi gave another example: "Remember our last battle in the ocean? Both Sea God Island and Haotian Sect were ordered by that person to forcibly seize the ferocious beasts of the Tongtian Baxia clan. Your bloodline is superior to theirs."
Gu Zhaoqiu shuddered suddenly, took a few steps forward, and cursed: "Di Tian said that god-level strongmen cannot interfere in the affairs of the lower realm. How can this old thing be so shameless?"
"Originally, he couldn't. But this old bastard sent his daughter, the Young Master of the Haotian Sect, down from the God Realm. Using her as a cover, he can naturally pull off some small moves. Moreover, this person holds a high position of power in the God Realm, and few can restrain him."
Xu Tianxi sighed, grasped Gu Zhaoqiu's shoulders with both hands, and said solemnly, "I have sufficient reason to suspect that his first target is you, not the Tongtian Baxia clan. It's because his subordinates in the Douluo plane are afraid of Di Tian and the others that they didn't attack you directly."
"Anyway, remember the same thing as me: caution is always the best course of action. I know you are an imperial auspicious beast, blessed with luck and destiny, but this is limited to the energy of this Douluo plane. The God Realm is a higher level existence than the Douluo plane."
No matter how high the potential of the Son of the Plane is, and even if the Lord of the Plane secretly protects him, he cannot withstand the attack from the God King of the God Realm, who is not in the same dimension. If a genius does not convert his potential into strength, he will be vulnerable in front of a true strong man.
Gu Zhaoqiu was silent. He raised his head slightly, and saw Xu Tianxi's face reflected in his red eyes. He said worriedly, "But if that person is determined, do we have to hide forever?"
"Of course not."
Xu Tianxi shook his head and said with a firm look, "I'm afraid of him now because I'm not a god yet. When I break through the limit of my cultivation and achieve god-level, I won't have to hide from him anymore."
"Even before my soul power breaks through the hundredth level, I can first break through my physical body and mental strength to the god level. In that case, even if a true god attacks, he will be unable to do anything to me. Then I can also use the legacy of Senior Mountain Dragon King for my own benefit."
The so-called holy body can challenge the emperor, the alternative enlightenment can fight against the supreme, the holy body can fight against the emperor. His mental power has always been his strength, and the physical cultivation has the huge energy given by the Mountain Dragon King. Before the soul power reaches the hundredth level, it is hopeful to let the physical body and mental power break through first.
Coincidentally, in the original novel, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power before becoming a god didn't seem to have reached the Divine Yuan Realm, as measured by later generations. Instead, his physical body, thanks to various opportunities, became even stronger, allowing him to challenge Di Tian head-on.
Meanwhile, Tang Wulin, relying on the spiritual power inherited from the Golden Dragon King to become a god, his physical performance was vaguely inferior to Huo Yuhao's before he became a god...
The reason for this is that the soul core smelting method in the Douluo III era was simplified too much, and the quality was not as good as that in the Douluo II era. The requirements for the body were not as high, so naturally there were not many benefits after the soul core was formed. After all, artificial souls were not as good as real souls.
In any case, the deeper the foundation before becoming a god, the stronger the strength will be after becoming a god. As long as it can enhance strength, you can try one or two feasible and unscrupulous methods.
After hearing what Xu Tianxi said, Gu Zhaoqiu's heart was slightly relieved. His gaze on Xu Tianxi became softer, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He asked softly:
"Why do you always seem to want to protect me? You're making me feel bad."
Xu Tianxi was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly asked, "I call you Elder sister, right?"
"Yes."
Gu Zhaoqiu's eyes were eager. He walked to Xu Tianxi in small steps, leaned forward with his slender swan neck, stared straight at Xu Tianxi, and said with a breath as sweet as orchid:
"But as a Elder sister, I don't want you to be my brother only."
Xu Tianxi's face froze, and he immediately raised his head and pressed her forehead, "Elder Sister, calm down. We are sworn Brother and Sister."
"When did it happen? Wasn't it just a verbal agreement?" Gu Zhaoqiu stared at Xu Tianxi with a fiery look of aggression.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Tianxi said seriously, "Strictly speaking, you are of the beast race and I am of the human race. Our races... are not suitable, right?"
"I think it's very suitable. Aren't you the last Mountain Dragon King of the Dragon Clan?" Gu Zhaoqiu's eyes were filled with a cunning smile.
Xu Tianxi's cheeks twitched, and he wanted to cry but couldn't. "I was just trying to trick your foolish Silver Dragon King. It doesn't count."
A Silver Dragon King who was bathing in a very dangerous place in the Star Dou Great Forest clicked on it to express his anger. The Mountain Dragon King was indeed very disloyal.
"But I took it seriously."
Gu Zhaoqiu leaned closer to Xu Tianxi, and put his arms around him from behind, almost forcing him onto the forging table. The smile on his lips became more playful:
"Two months ago, when the Young Master of the Haotian Sect came, someone asked her whether pure friendship existed between men and women. I've also thought about this question, and I don't think so."
"My dear brother, what do you think is my biggest pursuit in coming to the human world?"
"Go to the Body Sect to avenge myself, kill Du Bu Si, eliminate the harm to the Soul Beast Clan, and maintain the dignity of the Little Star Overlord!" Xu Tianxi answered without hesitation and decisively.
"That's one of them."
"Use a pair of curious eyes to see the most beautiful scenery in the world and see scenery that is different from the Star Dou Great Forest." Xu Tianxi continued.
"This is the second one, what else?" Gu Zhaoqiu said approvingly.
Xu Tianxi said with a bitter face, "I can't think of one yet. You can't be looking for me, the human who helped you block the knife from Du Bu Si back then? I just didn't want to see the beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest go crazy and attack the human world."
"If you want to repay the favor, I suggest you go find my elders. They are the main force that can stop Du Bu Si."
Gu Zhaoqiu's bright red eyes flashed, as if hesitating.
Xu Tianxi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to move the guy's arms away.
Why should I talk about feelings during this precious time? Talking about feelings will only affect the speed of my becoming a god.
Now I am living a precarious life with a heavenly sword hanging over my head. Who has the mind to waste precious cultivation time on love affairs?
Wouldn't it be nice if we all worked together to develop our own careers and not cut sausages and stab the other side?
However, just the slightest movement would lead to fierce resistance.
Gu Zhaoqiu was like a ferocious wolf that noticed its prey escaping. He held his arms tightly and stared at Xu Tianxi with his eyes.
Xu Tianxi sighed and said, "Sister, it's not good to force feelings. Let's talk about this after I become a god, okay?"
A cruel smile appeared on Gu Zhaoqiu's beautifully chiseled face: "I'm going to force it! I'm holding you very tightly now. I don't believe you'll be willing to attack me."
After saying that, her cheek quickly caught Xu Tianxi's sight.
Xu Tianxi suddenly felt a light touch on his cheek, and his mind went blank.
Is this... the way the beastmen stamp their territory?
