I’ve already become a titled Douluo, and only now the system arrives?

Chapter 118: Qin's Offerings

"Master, please come over and lie down."

Ah Yin, with a gentle hand, led Qin Xiao into the bedroom and motioned for him to lie on the bed.

"Okay."

Qin Xiao nodded and slowly lay down.

"Master, close your eyes and relax, you don't have to do anything."

"Ah Yin will move."

Ah Yin spoke again.

Her voice was soft and weak, like an invisible hand caressing one's heart.

Qin Xiao did as told, imagining various scenes in his mind, marveling at how proactive Ah Yin seemed to be.

While Qin Xiao was lost in thought, a pair of cool hands touched his forehead and began to gently knead.

"Master, how do you feel?"

"Comfortable? Relaxed?"

Ah Yin's voice echoed beside Qin Xiao's ear.

"Wait."

"Is this what Ah Yin meant by relaxing me?"

Qin Xiao suddenly realized.

It was quite different from what he had imagined, but then, he let it go.

The reborn Ah Yin, like a blank slate, had forgotten many things. Her actions now seemed more instinctive, coming from within.

"Very good, very nice, keep going like this."

Qin Xiao said, letting himself go.

Soon, he fell into a deep sleep.

When Qin Xiao opened his eyes again, it was already morning.

Ah Yin was no longer by his side.

However.

At that moment, he heard a rush of footsteps.

It was Ah Yin, coming towards him with a box in her hands.

"Master, you're awake. Oh, this was sent by Dean Liu a couple of days ago, from the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire for you."

"Oh?"

Qin Xiao was momentarily surprised. Something from Qian Renxue?

He got up and took the box from Ah Yin, opening it immediately.

Then, he was startled.

Inside the box were various deeds.

There were residences, manors, and shops.

Qin Xiao estimated that in a place as valuable as Tian Dou City, the total value of these deeds would probably not be less than twenty to thirty million Gold Soul Coins.

Such a high value would tempt even a Title Douluo.

"As expected of an Emperor, such a grand gesture."

"This is good, having my own territory will make things more convenient."

Qin Xiao nodded, pleased with Qian Renxue's actions.

After putting away the box, Qin Xiao asked, "Ah Yin, it seems Zhu Qing is not here, do you know where he went?"

Actually, not just Zhu Qing, even Meng Yiran was missing.

He became curious.

"Your Highness, Zhu Qing and Yiran left with Teacher Zhao to the Star Dou Forest for soul hunting yesterday morning. They said they can't rely on you for everything and also want to experience hardships on their own."

Qin Xiao nodded in understanding, "That's good."

Knock knock knock.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Ah Yin proactively went to open it.

Creak.

The door opened.

There stood the elegantly dressed Liu Erlong.

"Dean Liu, what brings you here?"

Ah Yin asked somewhat puzzled.

Liu Erlong gently pursed her lips, then said to Ah Yin, "Miss Ah Yin, could you please step aside for a moment? I have something I need to discuss with His Highness."

"Ah, okay." Ah Yin nodded.

Saying so, she stepped outside.

Tap tap tap.

The sound of Liu Erlong's slender heels clicked crisply on the floor.

Qin Xiao looked over; Liu Erlong was indeed stunning today.

Heavy makeup, red lips, wavy hair.

A white blouse, a pencil skirt, black stockings, and a pair of stilettos, the perfect image of a mature woman.

Even Qin Xiao couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Today, I came"

Liu Erlong finally mustered the courage, about to state her purpose.

Qin Xiao asked indifferently, "To settle a debt, right?"

Inside the Tian Dou Palace.

"Master, Snake Lance is requesting an audience."

Outside the Emperor's chambers, the Snake Lance Douluo asked in a deep voice.

Soon after.

A voice from inside the palace responded, "Come in."

Hearing this, Snake Lance Douluo pushed open the door and entered.

Qian Renxue had disguised herself as Xue Qinghe, wearing luxurious attire and looking at him indifferently.

"Elder, what urgent matter brings you here so hastily?"

"Master, Qianjun, and the two envoys from the Demon Slayers have sent an urgent report."

Snake Lance Douluo handed a letter to Qian Renxue.

"Oh?" Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow, "Previously, Meng Shenji reported that Qin Xiao entered the Tian Dou Royal Academy and took Yu Tianheng away. Could it be that Qin Xiao has already dealt with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? I wonder how he handled Yu Tianheng."

"Based on my guess, with Qin Xiao's ruthlessness, it's very likely that he crippled Yu Tianheng in front of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's gate." Snake Lance Douluo speculated, a smile forming on his lips, "Haha, it's easy to imagine the expressions on those people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"Is that all you think of as ruthless?"

Just then, another voice sounded from outside the hall. Porcupine Douluo entered, "In my opinion, Qin Xiao must have executed Yu Tianheng, thoroughly humiliating the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. That fits his character."

"It's impossible." Snake Lance Douluo shook his head, "Do you think the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is weak? They are one of the top three sects, and Yu Yuanzhen is a renowned powerhouse, while Yu Tianheng is his grandson."

However, he was interrupted by Porcupine Douluo before he could finish.

"Save your breath."

Porcupine Douluo shook his head dismissively, "Haotian Sect was also one of the top three sects, with many elders. Let me ask you, what was their fate?"

"Don't tell me that because Yu Tianheng is Yu Yuanzhen's grandson, it would make any difference. Even if he were Yu Yuanzhen's son, it would still be a dead end."

"But..."

Seeing Snake Lance Douluo still wanting to insist on his idea, Porcupine Douluo interrupted him, "Enough with the 'buts.' The letter is in the hands of the Master. Let's have the Master read the letter and inform us of the actual situation."

After saying this, they both turned to look at Qian Renxue, waiting for an answer.

"Please wait a moment, Elders."

After saying that, Qian Renxue immediately opened the letter. Honestly, she was also eager to know what astonishing actions Qin Xiao had taken this time.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupine Douluo, Qian Renxue's expression began to change constantly.

Curiosity, confusion, bewilderment, shock. Various complex emotions flickered across her face.

After reading the short letter four or five times, making sure not to miss a single detail, Qian Renxue finally spoke.

"Master, what exactly happened?"

Porcupine Douluo eagerly looked at Qian Renxue, hoping for an answer.

Snake Lance Douluo also wanted to know, "Master, please tell us, who guessed correctly?"

Qian Renxue shook her head with a wry smile, "I'm afraid neither of you guessed correctly."

"What happened then?"

Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupine Douluo asked in unison.

"Qin Xiao killed Yu Tianheng in front of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's gate, along with over a hundred disciples of the clan."

"What a ruthless man!"

Porcupine Douluo was astonished.

"Too conservative, I was too conservative, underestimating this killer's methods." Snake Lance Douluo also admired Qin Xiao's fierceness, which had greatly exceeded his expectations.

"Elders, please calm down, I haven't finished yet."

Qian Renxue interrupted the two, adding, "The letter also mentioned that after Qin Xiao killed Yu Tianheng and many disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he also executed Yu Yuanzhen's son, Yu Xiaofeng."

What?
Even Yu Xiaofeng was killed?
Porcupine Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"Yu Xiaofeng was Yu Yuanzhen's most beloved son, far stronger than the infamous 'Waste Master' on the Douluo Continent, and the rightful heir to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"Still too conservative, Qin Xiao's actions are truly boundless."

It took a while for the two to recover.

"Then, a major battle between Qin Xiao and Yu Yuanzhen was inevitable, right?"

Porcupine Douluo looked to Qian Renxue, hoping for an answer, "Who prevailed between them?"

Who prevailed?
Recalling the content of the secret letter, Qian Renxue's expression turned peculiar. Was there even a comparison between Yu Yuanzhen and Qin Xiao?

"The two Elders may not know, but in the battle between Qin Xiao and Yu Yuanzhen, Qin Xiao didn't even use his soul rings."

Porcupine Douluo's eyelids twitched, "That confident?"

Snake Lance Douluo snorted, "That's not confidence; that's overconfidence. It seems this time the kid might have overplayed his hand."

"However, he didn't."

"The outcome of the battle was Yu Yuanzhen's defeat, and before dying, he requested that his debts with Qin Xiao be settled with his death, sparing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan from destruction."

Undoubtedly, Qian Renxue's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Snake Lance Douluo's head.

Yu Yuanzhen's defeat and death, what did it signify?
Both Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupine Douluo knew all too well.

"Another powerful force has fallen to dust. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, once one of the top three sects, now only has its name left."

"Qin Xiao, this kid, is truly the nemesis of the top sects. So far, only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect seems to be in line with his standards."

Porcupine Douluo couldn't help but sigh.

Watching one powerful figure after another fall, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow.

"The worst is yet to come."

Snake Lance Douluo added, "This generation is facing a gap in talent. Apart from Yu Yuanzhen, there was no other Title Douluo, and now with Yu Yuanzhen's fall, the clan no longer has its protector. The days ahead will be tough."

Qian Renxue nodded, "The opportunity for the lower four sects to rise to the top three sects has arrived. It depends on whether they are ruthless enough to take a bite out of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"But even if another sect takes the place of the top three sects, will it still be the top three sects?"

Doubts arose in everyone's mind.

And they quickly came to a conclusion.

The answer was no.

The strength of the lower four sects was far from that of the top three sects. Even if they were to rename themselves as one of the top three, it would be in name only.

But, don't forget the powerful Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Whether a new top three sects will emerge and share the world with them depends on their will.

"Master, I just received news that Qin Xiao has returned to Martial Soul City. Shall we contact him again?"

Porcupine Douluo suddenly spoke.

Qin Xiao, he's back?
For some reason, Qian Renxue felt a wave of confusion.

"Contact him again?"

Snake Lance Douluo crossed his arms and glanced at Porcupine Douluo, "Have you forgotten that Qin Xiao has rejected the Master's invitation more than once? Approaching him again would just be humiliating ourselves. Are we going to offer our dignity to him as a doormat?"

"Moreover, the Grand Worship has already sent Qianjun and Jiangmo to negotiate with Qin Xiao, offering such a huge price. Not just Qin Xiao, even I would be tempted."

"You?"

Porcupine Douluo raised an eyebrow, disdainfully saying, "Save it, I doubt you'll ever have a chance to enter the Hall of Worships in this lifetime.

But that being said, with such generous conditions from the Grand Worship, Qin Xiao has no reason to refuse. I think we just need to wait a few days, and we'll get accurate news from the Spirit Hall."

Snake Lance Douluo said, "No need to think too much about it. It's a done deal. Qin Xiao must have joined our Spirit Hall. Next time we meet, we can even call him Worship Qin without any issue."

"Let's wait and see then."

Qian Renxue nodded, eager to know the outcome of the negotiations between Qin Xiao and the two Worships.

Unfortunately, the letter didn't specify.

Elsewhere.

In Spirit City.

Outside the Angelic Hall, Qianjun and Jiangmo stood side by side.

"Big brother, you talk."

Suddenly, Jiangmo Douluo stepped back, letting Qianjun Douluo take the lead.

"You?" Qianjun Douluo frowned.

Jiangmo Douluo looked aggrieved, "Big brother, in front of you, I'm always just a child."

"Sigh."

Qianjun Douluo stared at Jiangmo Douluo for a long while, eventually sighing in resignation.

He had decided to bear the consequences of their mission's failure.

"Big brother, don't be so pessimistic. According to the time, the Grand Worship might be in seclusion now, and it might be a few months before he comes out. We can still hold on for some time."

Jiangmo Douluo hurriedly spoke up.

However.

Just as he finished speaking, a powerful voice echoed from inside the Angelic Hall.

"Is that Qianjun, Jiangmo outside?"

Hiss. The Grand Worship isn't in seclusion? Jiangmo Douluo gasped.

"Replying to the Grand Worship, it is indeed us, brothers."

Qianjun Douluo quickly responded.

Boom.

The tightly closed doors of the hall suddenly swung open.

The voice of Qian Dao Liu came from inside:

"Come in and talk."
