Douluo: Unrivaled God General, Fooling Qian Renxue at the Start

Nan Feihuang had been cultivating for a while, but his gaze frequently drifted toward Lü Lingqi.

When a Soul Master absorbs a spirit ring, it typically involves two stages. The first is enduring the violent energy attack from the ring itself—if the soul master can't withstand it, their body will explode. The second stage involves refining the body's strength using the energy of the spirit ring, enhancing physical attributes and developing new soul skills.

Nan Feihuang relaxed upon seeing that Lü Lingqi had safely passed the first stage.

Watching this, Lan Xue smiled slightly and teased, "Darling, isn't Lingqi beautiful? Even though she's mute, her talent is extraordinary. Do you like her?"

"Yes, I do!" Nan Feihuang answered earnestly. There was no need for pretense. He liked her—after all, Lü Lingqi wasn't part of the original "Three Kingdoms: Heroes 2" game, but he had added her to the game because of his fondness for her fierce and heroic demeanor.

If Lü Lingqi was willing, he'd gladly be with her.

What did it matter if she was mute? He'd find a way to cure her, and even if that didn't work, it wasn't a big deal—her talent was undeniable.

"Well then, marry her," Lan Xue suggested with a casual tone. "But her status as a slave isn't ideal. At best, she'd be a concubine or something, but her talent is strong enough that, in the future, she could become a noble consort if her abilities grow."

Lan Xue's son was the future king. It wasn't unheard of for him to take a secondary wife before formal marriage.

"A consort?" Nan Feihuang pondered for a moment, deciding not to argue with Lan Xue. But deep down, he wasn't content.

Consort? Slave status? He thought to himself. If I like her, I'll make her my queen.

After all, wasn't his own mother a commoner? Now, she was queen.

Lan Xue, knowing her son well, caught a glimpse of Nan Feihuang's reluctance. She immediately understood what he was thinking and warned, "Huang'er, don't think of making her your primary wife. At least I was a legal citizen of the Thunder Kingdom when I married your father—not a slave. Plus, I was the direct disciple of the former headmaster of Tianshui Academy, which puts me on par with most nobles. But Lingqi's status is far too low. If you make her your primary wife, people will mock you."

She cared for her son deeply and couldn't bear to see him suffer, even if it meant lowering Lü Lingqi's status.

In this era, being born a slave was too shameful. No queen could ever come from such a lowly background.

"Besides, your father is already arranging your primary marriage," Lan Xue continued.

"What?" Nan Feihuang was shocked. "Mother, I'm only six! Are you and Father seriously that bored?"

"What's wrong with that? Among royalty and nobles, betrothals from birth are common. You're the crown prince of our kingdom. A proper marriage to a woman of equal status is essential. Don't worry, the girl your father is arranging for you will definitely match you in every way—status, looks, everything. And don't worry, I'm not going to tear you and Lingqi apart. You can stay with her as long as you want. Just make sure to keep things balanced."

Nan Feihuang was dumbfounded, his mind swirling with only four words: I want to break off this engagement!

Who knew what kind of woman Nantian Chen would choose for him? Marrying someone he'd never even met—it was unacceptable!

Just then, the yellow spirit ring that encircled Lü Lingqi pulsed before disappearing into her body. She had successfully absorbed the ring, and her soul power surged, now reaching about level 13.

"Ah! Ah!" Lü Lingqi happily rushed over to Nan Feihuang, lowering her head as if waiting for praise.

Nan Feihuang laughed, gently patting her silver-white hair. "Well done, Lingqi. What's your soul skill?"

Watching their interaction, Lan Xue smiled approvingly. It was clear that Lü Lingqi liked her son as well. A mutual affection—how wonderful, she thought.

Since Lü Lingqi couldn't speak, she demonstrated her soul skill directly. Summoning her martial soul, her Flying Lian Halberd glowed with a heavy golden light. With a swift throw, the halberd shot toward a nearby tree, reducing it to dust with a single hit.

A single-target attack. Though its sustained power wasn't quite on par with Dian Wei's Ghost Halberd, it was faster and seemed to have some additional effects.

"Throwing your Flying Lian Halberd like a flying knife, with golden light—is this...the Flying Blade skill?" Nan Feihuang asked, testing his guess.

"Ah! Ah!" Lü Lingqi nodded enthusiastically. Her master really understood her. This was indeed her first soul skill: Flying Blade.

Nan Feihuang was elated. In the world of military skills, Flying Blade was no low-tier move. Getting it as a first soul skill was a lucky surprise.

While its damage didn't surpass the Ghost Halberd by much, it had an incredibly special ability—disrupting the enemy's focus. In the game, it could throw off an opponent's charge-up time for executing their military skills.

In this world, it would likely disrupt an opponent's soul power, making it harder for them to release their skills. If an enemy couldn't quickly cast their soul abilities, it would give her a significant advantage at the start of any battle.

Successfully acquiring the first spirit ring was a great start.

After resting for the night, the group resumed their journey the next day. As they ventured deeper into the forest, they neared territories occasionally patrolled by thousand-year soul beasts.

In this small hunting forest, a thousand-year soul beast was considered a local tyrant. Whether a ten-thousand-year soul beast existed in these parts was uncertain.

Boom!

A 500-year-old Ax Mantis was frozen solid before collapsing at Lan Xue's feet, leaving only its head exposed.

Lan Xue waved her hand at Xun Yu. "Gou Huo, finish it."

Standing before the spirit ring, Xun Yu didn't bother correcting Lan Xue's mispronunciation of his name. He walked over and crushed the Mantis's head.

Soon, he finished absorbing the spirit ring. His martial soul, which could now be transformed into a military banner, granted him the ability to summon soldiers.

"Ambush Formation!"

Xun Yu summoned a group of twenty infantry soldiers and commanded, "Spread out and search for soul beasts with an attack power above 600 years. Report back immediately upon discovery!"

"Yes!" The soldiers dispersed in all directions.

This soul skill wasn't just useful in battle—it had many other applications as well. They could scout dangerous soul beast territories because they weren't real people, just energy-based constructs. Even if they were killed, they wouldn't leave corpses behind.

As long as Xun Yu had enough soul power, he could continually summon replacements.

Lan Xue felt that having Xun Yu around would make things much easier for her.

The group found a spot to rest, waiting patiently for the soldiers' reports.

Sure enough, the soldiers returned soon after. "Report! Three miles ahead, there is a Silver Moon Sky Wolf."
