Soul Land 2: Body Sect

Chapter 313: Jin Peng: Clown!

[Task of Rakshasa VII - Revenge: Destroy the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Task overachieved, reward: 20% Rakshasa affinity.]

[Task of Rakshasa VIII - Slaughter: Kill an unlimited number of soul masters above the level of Soul Saint within three years, using their flesh and souls to restore the Rakshasa Scythe and Rakshasa's divine position. Reward: Rakshasa affinity.]

The completion of the task echoed in Huo Dongxue's mind, but she paid little attention to it.

After annihilating the entire White Tiger Duke's Mansion, Huo Dongxue suddenly felt a wave of loneliness.

The revenge is complete... What next?

Huo Dongxue looked up at the misty sky, her eyes empty and lost.

...

"I've been harmed by indulgence, looking so haggard."

Du Qianjue observed his dark circles in the ice mirror, his hand trembling slightly holding a wine glass.

"From today onwards, I swear off alcohol!"

Snap—! The jade wine glass was shattered.

"Husband~" The sultry voice of Xue Linglong sounded behind him, causing Du Qianjue to shudder violently.

"I can't take it anymore, really can't!" Du Qianjue said with a woeful expression, "I really don't have a single drop left!"

"Really? I don't believe it!" Xue Linglong giggled as she snuggled into Du Qianjue's arms, her flawless face flushed, "Aren't you supposed to show me who's the real king here? I'm still not quite clear on that!"

"Come on, the ten-thousand-year snow lotus has produced another seed, eat it quickly, then we can continue!"

"No... Ah!"

...

Two hours later, Du Qianjue, leaning against the wall, stumbled out of the room with trembling legs.

Behind him, the deep door seemed like an abyss that devoured everything, trying to pull him back in.

It had been fifteen days since Du Qianjue's wedding.

They were supposed to go on a honeymoon, but Du Qianjue and Xue Linglong ended up entwined on the ice bed for more than ten days.

Even though Du Qianjue had divine-level combat capabilities, the saying that there's no field that could exhaust the ox proved true—he was thoroughly defeated by Xue Linglong!

"Wait until I recover, and we'll see who wins!" Du Qianjue said fiercely as he looked back.

"Waiting for you~" Xue Linglong's laughter followed him.

"Hiss, definitely next time!" Du Qianjue quickly fled.

Back in the room, Xue Linglong, no longer as vigorous as before, lay exhausted on the bed, her forehead covered in sweat beads.

Yes, she was forcing herself!

Xue Linglong bit her lip, a trace of grievance flashing in her eyes.

What a beast!

She had thought it would take at most a week to exhaust Du Qianjue, to let him realize who the real king was. But after a week, she was nearly at her limit, yet Du Qianjue could still hold on.

Every time she spoke up, Du Qianjue could rally again...

If not for clinging to a thread of vitality, Xue Linglong would have been defeated long ago...

Feeling the weakness and soreness all over her body, Xue Linglong was on the verge of tears, quickly picking a petal of snow lotus and stuffing it into her mouth. The cool sensation wandered in her abdomen, and her flushed face finally regained some paleness.

"Humph... I will not admit defeat!"

Xue Linglong's somewhat haughty words echoed languidly in the room…

Outside.

The Main Sect had returned to its original state, the bright red decorations and carpets removed, and the leveled mountaintop replanted with trees.

Arriving at the grand hall of the Main Sect, the sight of Du Qianjue startled both Du Busi and Jin Peng.

" Qianjue, you can't be serious? How did you end up so disheveled?" Du Busi couldn't help but ask.

Du Qianjue glanced at Du Busi and said irritably, "Uncle Ancestor, you're not looking much better, are you? At most, we're equal!"

Jin Peng tightly pursed his lips, his old face nearly crinkling with suppressed laughter.

Originally, seeing Du Busi flourish like an old tree in bloom had irked him slightly, thinking they had agreed to remain bachelors for life. Yet Du Busi shamelessly broke their pact!

How sour Jin Peng felt seeing Du Busi and Wang Xian'er tie the knot, and how loudly he laughed seeing Du Busi with dark circles and chapped lips.

The two exchanged a glance and sighed simultaneously.

Then, Jin Peng couldn't hold back any longer, his boisterous laughter almost bringing down the grand hall of the Main Sect.

"Cough, Uncle Ancestor, seeing as Jin Peng Uncle Ancestor seems quite spirited, and we're both not in the best shape, why don't we let him take care of the sect affairs for a while?" Du Qianjue eyed Du Busi with a smirk.

Du Busi also seriously nodded, "Right, I think so too. Jin Peng, we'll leave it to you then. We need to rest up and won't be around to bother you!"

The pair left together, leaving a puzzled Jin Peng sitting alone in the vast hall.

I'm really foolish, truly.

It must be said.

Although Du Busi initially resisted, the truth is human nature—Du Busi naturally ended up enjoying it, and Wang Xian'er became the real aunt of Du Qianjue.

Life is full of surprises.

After arriving at Du Qiansi's courtyard, Du Qianjue immediately noticed the flowers everywhere.

These were planted by Wang Xian'er after she moved in, her life attribute making her fond of beautiful plants.

" Qianjue, you're here?" Wang Xian'er put down her watering can and greeted him with a smile.

"Uncle Ancestor Grandma!" Du Qianjue also greeted her naturally.

His own matchmaking, what's there not to accept?

"Just wait, I'll brew some tea for you both!" Wang Xian'er left with a gentle smile.

So virtuous...

Du Qianjue couldn't help but glance at Du Qiansi, who glared back at him before settling down at the tea table.

"How's Tang Ya doing?" Du Qianjue asked after sitting across from Du Qiansi.

During the wedding, Du Qianjue naturally couldn't stay uninformed. He was aware of the happenings on the continent, such as the war between the Sun-Moon Empire and the three great empires, the internal strife in the Sun-Moon Empire after losing Xu Tianran, and the three empires' unending desire for the Main Sect to intervene.

However, the news of Huo Yuhao becoming Huo Dongxue and wiping out the White Tiger Duke's Mansion hadn't reached the Main Sect yet.

Thus, Du Qianjue was unaware.

As for Tang Ya, taking the opportunity of Bi Ji coming to the Main Sect, Du Qianjue mentioned it to her, and Bi Ji naturally didn't refuse, finding a nearly life-expired ten-thousand-year emerald swan for Tang Ya.

Not all spirit beasts can consistently reach a hundred thousand years, even for powerful species like the emerald swan. This swan clearly lacked a powerful bloodline, only capable of reaching ten thousand years.

After Bi Ji consulted its wishes, it agreed to be sacrificed to Tang Ya, a process requiring Bi Ji's assistance as the swan lacked the intellect and cultivation to perform the sacrifice on its own.

What Du Qianjue asked about was precisely this matter. (End of chapter)
