Capítulo 78: Lady Paimon
When Dugu Bo first broke through to become a Title Douluo, he was once hunted down by Yue Guan. The two had a deep-seated grudge.
However, Yue Guan was a man of principle and didn't team up with Gui Mei to attack Dugu Bo together.
At this moment, Dugu Bo's eye twitched uncontrollably, and the look he gave Yue Guan was filled with pity.
Can someone at rank 95 really challenge Zhongli?
Zhongli is a mighty figure capable of "moving mountains and filling seas"!
He had witnessed Zhongli relocate the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well right before his eyes!
"Good, good, good..."
Dugu Bo couldn't help but mutter to himself. A sparring match sounded excellent!
As long as Zhongli was just a bit careless and ended up killing Yue Guan, wouldn't his grudge be avenged right on the spot?
Yue Guan and Zhongli stood about fifty meters apart—a distance that, for Title Douluos, could be covered in the blink of an eye!
"Yue Guan, rank 95 assault-type Title Douluo, title: Chrysanthemum."
Nine soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—quickly rose from under Yue Guan's feet.
A resplendent chrysanthemum appeared in his hand.
From afar, Paimon was stunned. The chrysanthemum floating in Yue Guan's hand—it seemed like she had seen it somewhere before!
After releasing his martial soul and soul rings, Yue Guan said expressionlessly, "Guest Official, Zhongli, please grant me your guidance!"
Before Zhongli could even release his "martial spirit," several figures appeared, "running" over and arriving beside Paimon.
"Huh? Qinghe, why are you here?" Paimon asked in surprise.
The newcomer was none other than "Xue Qinghe." Since Zhongli was a her guest and was now sparring with an elder from the Spirit Hall, how could she not be present?
No matter her true intentions, she had to be here.
By her side were the experts arranged by the royal family to protect the "crown prince."
"Paimon, I heard that Zhongli, the guest official, was sparring with an elder from the Spirit Hall. I was worried that the Spirit Hall might harbor ill intentions and harm Lord Zhongli, so I hurried over…"
"Xue Qinghe" said this without even blinking.
Yue Guan, Gui Mei: "…"
Zhongli, Paimon: "…"
Paimon glanced at "Xue Qinghe." If she remembered correctly, "Xue Qinghe" was someone from the Spirit Hall, right?
How could she say such things with a straight face?
"Um… Zhongli is very powerful, no need to worry about him…"
Paimon crossed her arms, looking unconcerned, though in truth, she was deeply worried.
She knew Zhongli was immensely strong—he could easily suppress even a demon god like Osial.
But Zhongli was her only reliance in this otherworld!
If something were to happen to Zhongli, how could she not be worried?
"Your Highness, Elder Chrysanthemum and Lord Zhongli are merely sparring. Our Spirit Hall would never do something so underhanded," Hu Liena said with a grim expression to "Xue Qinghe."
She didn't know "Xue Qinghe's" true identity, nor did she know that there was someone like Qian Renxue.
Someone had slandered the Spirit Hall right in front of her, and if she didn't fight back, what kind of disciple of the Pope would she be?
This was her first time seeing "Xue Qinghe," but she knew who the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire was.
From the conversation between Paimon and "Xue Qinghe," it wasn't hard to deduce that the person before her was indeed the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire!
"Would they or wouldn't they? Who knows?"
"Xue Qinghe" replied disdainfully, truly the number one detractor of the Spirit Hall.
The "guards" beside her nodded in agreement—this was exactly the attitude a crown prince should have!
Towards the Spirit Hall, this should indeed be their stance.
In addition to protecting the crown prince's safety, they were also responsible for gathering intelligence on this occasion.
The fact that the crown prince's guest elder was dining with elders from the Spirit Hall would surely raise suspicions, wouldn't it?
"You!"
Hu Liena was furious, pointing at "Xue Qinghe."
She felt a deep hostility from this "Xue Qinghe," though she couldn't figure out why.
After all, few people could withstand her charm, especially those weaker than her.
But this "Xue Qinghe" not only resisted her charm but also seemed hostile towards her.
Wasn't this the first time they had met?
Why would "Xue Qinghe" harbor such animosity towards Hu Liena?
Because Bibi Dong had transferred all the love meant for her daughter onto this disciple, how could she not be hostile?
Not killing Hu Liena on the spot was already a concession for the sake of the bigger picture.
"Impudent! Watch your words! This is the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, how dare a mere girl like you question him!"
The guards unleashed their aura, reprimanding Hu Liena harshly.
What kind of rabble would dare to shout at the Crown Prince?
This was unacceptable!
"You… you all!"
"Nana is the Pope's disciple! How dare you!"
Yan immediately jumped to Hu Liena's defense, unwilling to tolerate anyone targeting her.
The moment he mentioned the Pope's disciple, a flash of killing intent flickered in "Xue Qinghe's" eyes.
A traitor, calling herself the Pope's disciple!
If it weren't for her letting Tang San go...
Hearing this, the guards hesitated for a moment. The Pope's disciple?
That carried some weight, but not much.
"Heh, a disciple of the Pope? Unless she's stronger than us, she's still just a disciple!"
"Of course, if she were the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, then she'd have the qualifications to speak directly to the Crown Prince."
Such was the reality!
In a world where the strong were revered, one either had strength or status.
Hu Liena, as just a disciple, couldn't truly represent the Spirit Hall!
"Hey, stop fighting, stop fighting! Zhongli and the old man are about to start fighting!"
Paimon flew between the two sides, frantically trying to defuse the situation.
They couldn't start fighting here before Zhongli and the others did!
"Yes, Lady Paimon!"
The guards looked at Paimon and replied with utmost respect.
Hu Liena and the others twitched at this sight. These guys could change their attitudes faster than flipping a book!
They didn't care about a disciple of the Pope, showing no respect at all.
But towards Paimon, this martial soul, they were extremely respectful—they even called her "Lady Paimon"!
On closer thought, they indeed had to address her as Lady Paimon!
Despite her small size and seemingly lack of combat power, she was Zhongli's martial soul!
Once she absorbed a spirit ring...
"Yes, Lady Paimon!"
The three quickly bowed to Paimon, their faces showing respect.
"Me?"
"Lady?"
Paimon blinked in confusion.
This was the first time she had ever been addressed like this!
"Xue Qinghe" smiled and said nothing more. There was no point in making things difficult for Hu Liena and the others.
The people in the shadows also looked at Paimon with a hint of reverence.
Unlike those who relied on connections, Paimon was the martial soul of a Title Douluo. She wasn't someone without power.
People like Hu Liena, who were backed by connections, were only given face out of respect for the Pope, Bibi Dong.
Behind closed doors, who would actually respect her?
No strength, no true status.
"I hope that in my lifetime, I can witness Lady Paimon gaining nine spirit rings, each at least 50,000 years old."
"If I could witness such a miracle, I'd die without regrets!"
Indeed, a twin martial soul was already a miracle, and nine spirit rings over 50,000 years old were beyond anything one could even dream of.
