Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Wuhun City, Disgrace of Yu Xiaogang

After traveling for a while towards Wuhun City, Su Ming and his group noticed a carriage waiting on the road ahead, bearing the emblem of the Heaven Dou Royal Guard.

One of the guards approached respectfully, "Captain Su Ming, Senior Dugu Bo, His Highness believed you'd return, so he asked us to wait here for you. Please, feel free to rest in the carriage."

Su Ming felt a warmth in his heart, appreciating how considerate Qian Renxue was.

Inside the carriage, Su Ming handed the True Dragon Crown to Dugu Bo. Since the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor shared a lineage with the True Dragon, Dugu Bo could use this item. Su Ming knew it wasn't suitable for Dugu Yan, as her current strength couldn't handle its power and could even lead to severe backlash.

"Old monster, this artifact isn't much use to me, so it's yours. Your defenses are too weak; if it hadn't been for me back there, you might not have made it. You don't even know how to maintain distance," Su Ming teased.

Dugu Bo rolled his eyes, though he knew Su Ming's words were a way to reassure him about accepting the gift. Despite understanding this, he still felt slightly irked.

"Hmph! Little brat, how was I supposed to kite someone when Yu Yuanzhen was ready to risk it all?" Dugu Bo grumbled as he carefully inspected the True Dragon Crown. He'd heard it could briefly boost power levels significantly, and it was indeed a rare treasure.

After ten days of travel, they finally reached Wuhun City, a city bustling with vitality, nearly as grand as Heaven Dou City, yet with a harmony that was immediately apparent to Su Ming.

The group arrived at their designated lodging, arranged by Wuhun Hall, where Su Ming learned that Qian Renxue had even slowed her travel pace to accommodate their arrival, arriving only a day earlier.

Meanwhile, news that Su Ming and his companions had survived their encounter with Yu Yuanzhen left Tang San's group utterly astonished. They assumed that Dugu Bo must have had external help because, otherwise, it seemed impossible to survive Yu Yuanzhen's might.

Even Yu Xiaogang was skeptical. He understood his father's strength well, equipped with three ancestral spirit bones and the True Dragon Crown. At full power, Yu Yuanzhen's level could temporarily reach the peak of level 97, so how could anyone survive such an onslaught?

Yet, Tang San was focused more on his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, who now bore a missing right arm. No matter how much they asked, Yu Xiaogang refused to speak of it. In truth, Yu Xiaogang had faced a heavy price for leaving. Bibi Dong had honored her promise to let him go, but only after exacting her price.

His right arm was that price.

Moreover, Bibi Dong had completely crippled his spirit power, leaving him with a martial spirit he could no longer cultivate, and both his spirit rings now lay in a dormant, gray state. Humiliated by this, he was unwilling to share the truth.

But Tang San, noticing the uneasy expression on Flender's face, pressed him. "Dean Flender, do you know what happened?" Tang San's cold stare sent chills through Flender as he remembered how Tang San had used Titan as a human shield. With a heavy sigh, Flender reluctantly explained, "Xiao Gang went to Wuhun Hall a few days ago to ask Bibi Dong about twin martial spirit cultivation, hoping to help you overcome its conflict, but things… didn't go well."

Flender's words darkened Yu Xiaogang's expression. He never expected Flender to betray his secret. Now, with no way to evade it, Yu Xiaogang reluctantly shared a half-true version of events, omitting his more dishonorable actions.

Tang Hao, on the other hand, was taken aback. He had always believed Bibi Dong held old affections for Yu Xiaogang. That was one reason he entrusted Tang San's training to him since Bibi Dong was the only known success in cultivating twin spirits to Titled Douluo. Now, seeing Yu Xiaogang's compromised state, Tang Hao realized he held no remaining value.

Resolving to train Tang San himself after the tournament, Tang Hao planned to strengthen Tang San's Killing God Domain, a key factor in his past victories against three Titled Douluo.

"Wuhun Hall, Bibi Dong, to harm my teacher—I swear vengeance!" Tang San vowed, his face twisted in hatred. Yu Xiaogang felt touched by his loyalty, unaware that Tang San's words held only superficial sincerity. Tang San already had a grudge against Wuhun Hall; this only added one more justification.

In the meantime, as Su Ming settled into the accommodations provided by Wuhun Hall, he heard a knock on his door. To his surprise, it was Qian Renxue. He pulled her inside, setting a barrier around the room.

"Qian Renxue, what brings you here?"

Qian Renxue chuckled at his cautiousness, reminding him that she was still in her disguise as the prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. It was only natural for her to inquire about their journey after recent events.

In the privacy of the room, Qian Renxue dropped her disguise and resumed her true form, much to Su Ming's satisfaction. He had previously requested this, explaining that it was awkward to converse with her in her male guise, knowing her real identity.

Qian Renxue understood his intentions all too well, though she kept her thoughts to herself. She knew he simply preferred her female form, and truth be told, she was more comfortable this way as well.

"Su Ming, I have to ask, how exactly did you escape Yu Yuanzhen's pursuit? Did he really just let you go?" she asked, feigning curiosity, though she already knew from the journal that Su Ming had used his fully-formed Susanoo to finish the fight in a single blow. Unfortunately, she hadn't witnessed it herself, so she missed out on the experience firsthand.


Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Playing Hard to Get with Qian Renxue?

"Of course, it was the old monster's strength," Su Ming replied smoothly, showing no sign of hesitation. "You may not know, but he's already reached level 97. With the quality upgrade to his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor venom, he could kite Yu Yuanzhen with ease."

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes, giving him a skeptical look. Was she supposed to believe that?

"Then?" she pressed. "Are you saying you and Dugu Bo took Yu Yuanzhen down?"

"Yes," Su Ming shrugged, "but it was mainly the old monster's work. Qian Renxue, I'm just a humble Soul King—how could I be Yu Yuanzhen's match? It was hard enough just protecting my teammates."

Qian Renxue stared at him with a hint of frustration. He was being so evasive. Su Ming had said he only saw her as a friend, and he seemed to be sticking to that, showing no real sign of deeper interest. Qian Renxue had initially thought he was playing hard to get, but now, even after knowing each other for quite some time, he hadn't made a single move. Was his interest really not there?

Annoyed, she thought, Am I not as attractive as those girls around him? She couldn't help comparing herself, feeling that her appearance and charm were unmatched. Could Su Ming really be so disinterested?

Su Ming, on the other hand, was inwardly satisfied with his approach. He already had Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, and Huo Wu; his relationships with Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing were progressing well, and he had caught the attention of Shui Bing'er and her sisters. There was no reason for him to chase Qian Renxue. He figured her complex personality required her to make the first move. With someone as scheming as Qian Renxue, he mused, it's best if she comes to me.

If Su Ming read her correctly, Qian Renxue had a slight tendency towards seeking things she couldn't easily attain. And judging by her puzzled expression, his reverse tactics were working.

"Fine," she said, not entirely satisfied. "Since you're alright, I'll be going."

Just as she turned to leave, she paused, her tone mysterious. "Oh, one more thing, Su Ming. I thought you'd find this interesting."

"What is it?" he asked, intrigued.

"Yu Xiaogang came to see Bibi Dong a few days ago, asking her for a cultivation method for twin martial souls. In return, she cut off one of his arms and crippled his entire cultivation. He's a complete waste now."

Su Ming froze for a second before bursting into laughter. "That Yu Xiaogang got exactly what he deserved! His disciple is a sworn enemy of Wuhun Hall, and yet he had the nerve to think he could ask favors from the Pope? Did he think he was someone special?"

Indeed, Su Ming wasn't entirely surprised; his system had already informed him that Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong had access to Yu Xiaogang's skeletons. What puzzled him was that Bibi Dong had only crippled him rather than killed him outright. Bibi Dong's goal was to slowly expose Yu Xiaogang's misdeeds, revealing to the world that his so-called "theories" were mostly plagiarized or flawed.

Just as Su Ming thought Qian Renxue would leave, she unexpectedly leaned in and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. Then, without another word, she activated her spirit bone skill, resuming her disguise as Xue Qinghe, and left his room.

Su Ming was caught off guard by her bold move. Was this some kind of reverse tactic on her part? Apparently, Qian Renxue was determined. If Su Ming wouldn't make a move, she thought, then she'd step up and change his mind. After all, she was confident in her charm and would make him hers. But in truth, her heart was racing, and her face was flushed; this was her first time kissing someone.

Back in her room, her Titled Douluo guards appeared. Dolphin Douluo blurted out, "Young Master, why is your face so red?"
