After a crazy night with Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, Ye Xuan asked the two sisters Ling Yu and Ling Yun to temporarily replace the two who could not get out of bed. In this way, Ye Xuan took turns to communicate deeply with the girls during the game, which made the audience wonder why Shrek changed players so frequently, but the truth that only the girls knew would never be made public.
As the game progressed, Yu Xiaogang could no longer intervene in the team's tactical arrangements. After all, he had no idea about the actual abilities of the girls, and every time he arranged and positioned them, he was like a clown.
As the bottom of the team, Tang San also became a breakthrough point in the battle many times. If it were not for those Tang Sect techniques, he would have been directly eliminated several times.
Different from the original work, since Shrek Academy did not absorb Lan Ba Academy, in addition to the Five Elements Academy, Shrek Academy, Tiandou Royal Academy, and Lan Ba Academy have all reserved a place in the promotion match in this preliminaries. It can be said that the remaining dozens of academies are all competing for the remaining six places.
The elimination round ended quickly. As expected, the Five Elements Academy and the three most popular academies all successfully advanced. Ye Xuan had no intention of showing up to watch the game except when he played at Shrek Academy, which made many people who wanted to test the wind complain bitterly.
The next promotion match will be held at the Royal Knights' Grand Parade Ground. In addition to the invited audience, only soul masters can enter to watch the game. It can be said that the audience of the preliminaries gathered most of the soul masters currently in Tiandou Imperial City.
"Your Majesty Lian Douluo, there will be Shrek Academy competitions every day from now on. Don't disappear from playing~"
Looking at Ye Xuan who was sitting aside bored, Emperor Xue Ye seemed to have made up his mind and said with a little smile, "I wonder if Your Majesty has the idea of visiting the palace. I have some juniors I want to introduce to Your Majesty to see if they can catch Your Majesty's eye."
Dozens of days were enough for Emperor Xue Ye's men to investigate Ye Xuan. Although they didn't dare to observe Ye Xuan directly, they dared to observe him indirectly through his power. Ye Xuan was used to these sights. As long as they didn't fall on himself and women, he didn't care.
"As far as I know, Your Majesty seems to have three princes and one princess. I wonder which one you want me to see?"
"I will hold a banquet in the palace tonight. I hope Your Majesty will come. Your Majesty will know it by then."
Looking at the smiling Emperor Xue Ye, Ye Xuan nodded slightly, agreeing to the other party's invitation. Silas on the side seemed not to see it, and his attention was still on the team fighting below. This made Xue Ye, who was paying attention to the bishop of the Spirit Hall, a little confused, but when he thought that Ye Xuan's title was obtained in the Spirit Hall but he did not stay in the Spirit Hall, he soon felt relieved.
The night shrouded Tiandou City. Because it was during the competition, both the inner city and the outer city were much more prosperous than usual. Looking down from above, the star-like soul guide lights almost illuminated the entire city.
With the kitten, Ye Xuan quickly came to the door of the Tiandou Royal Family. Although this city is called Tiandou Imperial City, the real royal residence is the Imperial City in the center of the inner city, which is also where Emperor Xue Ye will hold a banquet tonight.
"How about it, compared to the Imperial City of your Xingluo Empire, which one is more prosperous?"
Stroking the head of the girl who was hugging his arm tightly, Ye Xuan casually looked around the magnificent and scattered buildings.
"It seems that Tiandou Imperial City is more luxurious, but I rarely went into the palace before. If the master wants to see it, he might as well go find my sister~"
"Okay, there will be plenty of opportunities later. There are people waiting in front. Let's go faster."
At the door of the tall palace in front, a straight and slender figure was standing and waiting. The girl next to him was full of curiosity, and her eyes switched back and forth between Ye Xuan and Zhu Zhuqing without any hesitation.
"Xue Ke, don't be rude! Your Majesty, I'm sorry to make you laugh. I hope Your Majesty doesn't take it to heart."
After scolding the girl next to him in a low voice, the young man pressed the girl's head and bowed to apologize with a little apology.
"You should be Xue Qinghe, right? Zhuqing, go and talk to Xue Ke~ I will go in with His Royal Highness the Prince."
As he approached, Ye Xuan patted Zhu Zhuqing's hips. After watching the girl run towards Xue Ke with a blush on her face, Ye Xuan looked at Xue Qinghe with a smile at the door.
"It is my honor to be remembered by His Majesty, please~"
Bowling slightly, Xue Qinghe followed Ye Xuan one step behind, and the two chatted as they walked into the palace. Behind them, Xue Ke pulled Zhu Zhuqing with excitement and curiosity. From the blush on the girl's face, it was clear that the two girls were talking about adult topics.
"It is my honor that His Majesty Lian can attend the banquet. Qinghe, you and Xiao Ke should entertain His Majesty and the others well."
Looking at Xue Qinghe who came in with Ye Xuan and the two girls behind him, Emperor Xue Ye's eyes lit up and his mouth curled up slightly. Obviously, the candidate for the crown prince has almost been determined. Prince Xuexing and Prince Xuebeng below showed a trace of resentment for a while, but the moment Ye Xuan moved his eyes away, they suddenly put on a smile.
"Okay, Father!" With excitement in his tone, Xue Qinghe bowed to Emperor Xue Ye and took Ye Xuan and Zhu Zhuqing to sit down, "Your Majesty, please."
Sat down happily. Ye Xuan had just investigated Xue Qinghe in front of him clearly. It was obvious that Qian Renxue had already replaced the prince with a cat. The young man in front of him was Qian Renxue disguised as a man.
Not far away, two hidden auras seemed to be ready to pounce at any time. Obviously, they were Snake Spear Douluo and Thorny Porpoise Douluo, the guards brought by Qian Renxue from the Spirit Hall.
While drinking, Ye Xuan seemed to appreciate Xue Qinghe sitting next to him. After a few glasses of wine, he began to put his arm around his shoulder. The Emperor Xue Ye above looked at Xue Qinghe, who had a close relationship with Ye Xuan, and nodded with satisfaction. Xue Qinghe, who was hit on the chest by Ye Xuan from time to time, forced himself to suppress his rapidly beating heart, with a blush on his face that was not sure whether it was due to drunkenness or shyness.
The banquet lasted for several hours. On the surface, it seemed that the guests were well-received and the host was happy. Finally, at the nod of Emperor Xue Ye, Ye Xuan and Xue Qinghe left first. Seeing Ye Xuan leave, Zhu Zhuqing also pulled Xue Ke and caught up with the two after bowing slightly to Emperor Xue Ye.
"It seems that the next emperor, His Majesty has already chosen a side~" Without caring about the different expressions of the ministers below, Emperor Xue Ye spoke quietly, and the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet, "Why are you all silent? Go on, the banquet is not over yet."
Ye Xuan, who left with Xue Qinghe, didn't know what happened in the palace. He just continued to hug Xue Qinghe's shoulders and followed him to the prince's residence. Soon, Zhu Zhuqing pulled Xue Ke to follow. The two women just talked in a low voice and followed the two people in front.
After placing the two women in the side hall, Xue Qinghe took Ye Xuan to his own study. As the door closed, the two auras that had been following from a distance also appeared in the corner of the study. Xue Qinghe smiled and motioned Ye Xuan to sit first.
"Your Majesty, I don't know why you chose to stand on my side?" Although he was very happy that he was favored by Ye Xuan at the first time, Xue Qinghe still asked cautiously, after all, he didn't know if he was exposed.
"Pah~"
With a snap of his fingers, a space wave spread out in all directions. Without any disguise, Ye Xuan directly enveloped the entire prince's palace in a sealed space. Xue Qinghe's smiling face froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"Oh, you actually found out. It seems that your strength is different from what it appears to be, Prince~" Sitting in front of Xue Qinghe without any hesitation, Ye Xuan crossed his legs, his tone full of playfulness.
"Huh~ When did you find out?"
After exhaling, Xue Qinghe, no, now she should be called Qian Renxue, the hypocritical smile on her face disappeared, and she looked a little dreadful and depressed. Behind her, two figures wrapped in black robes, one fat and one thin, appeared. The pressure of Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo gathered together, and the two protected Qian Renxue within the range of their pressure.
"Oh, I noticed it when I saw you. I didn't expect you to have a hobby of dressing up as a man." Not caring about the pressure from the two Title Douluo in front of him, Ye Xuan thought it was like a kitten baring its teeth at him, except that these two kittens were a bit ugly.
"So, you deliberately took advantage of this saint before?"
As the angry voice sounded, Qian Renxue's clothes that originally belonged to the prince disappeared, revealing the golden dress she was wearing. The previous appearance was just a trick created by the soul guide. Looking at the girl with long golden hair and a slender figure in front of him, Ye Xuan's eyes scanned up and down without hesitation.
"Answer my question!"
Seeing that Ye Xuan did not respond to his thoughts at all, three pairs of white wings suddenly appeared behind Qian Renxue, and the two Title Douluo beside her also attacked Ye Xuan at the same time.
"How come you're just like your mother, that crazy woman, who starts fighting as soon as she disagrees with you? Didn't she tell you my strength?"
The blue lightning snake swam out from Ye Xuan's open fingers, and instantly wrapped itself around Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo. With two screams, the two Titled Douluos lost their lives in an instant. Like two pieces of charcoal, they fell from midair, leaving only a few tiny arcs flickering on their bodies.
"How...how is it possible?"
She sat back down all of a sudden, Qian Renxue tightly grasped the armrests of the chair with both hands, her rosy lips murmured, obviously she couldn't believe that she relied on the Bei to kill instantly at the first time. There was a little helplessness in her eyes as she scanned back and forth between the two corpses. Qian Renxue's body trembled constantly as she leaned on the chair, and slowly raised her head, her eyes finally meeting Ye Xuan's cold eyes.
"You are so ignorant and cute~"
The voice sounded slowly, and Ye Xuan walked slowly to Qian Renxue, who was already stiff and dared not move. He pinched the girl's chin and lifted Qian Renxue's head. Ye Xuan looked into her golden eyes. From her panicked and evasive eyes, Ye Xuan saw his own reflection.
"Only level 69, I really don't know what she was thinking. If she had focused on training, she would probably be a Soul Douluo now. The good innate level 20 soul power was wasted like this~"
Rubbing the girl's delicate cheeks with his fingertips, Ye Xuan's casual words made Qian Renxue raise her head suddenly. The original panic in her eyes had been suppressed, and now it was replaced by resentment and dissatisfaction.
"You! What do you know! I'm about to succeed! I'll take an empire directly into my pocket, and my mother will definitely not look at me the same way as before!"
"Hahaha~ Yes, she really won't look at you the same way as before, even if your so-called plan to steal the country fails. After all, she is no longer the madman she used to be. Now she is just a bitch under my command~"
"What...what? Impossible, you are lying to me, she is a Titled Douluo!"
Looking at Qian Renxue who broke free from his fingers in front of him with an unbelievable face, Ye Xuan just felt extremely interesting, "Isn't it just a Titled Douluo~ Didn't two of them die just now?"
The lips that were originally open suddenly stopped making sounds, and Ye Xuan's words immediately brought Qian Renxue back to her senses. The instant killing of the two Titled Douluos just now has already shown that his strength is no longer on the same level as ordinary Titled Douluos. Is it really the same as he said? Qian Renxue's delicate body curled up slightly, her eyes were full of entanglement, and Ye Xuan's words lingered in her mind.
"Why don't you continue to resist?"
Pulling up the girl curled up in the chair, Ye Xuan put one hand around her waist and the other hand on Qian Renxue's back, and immediately pressed the soft body into his arms.
The fullness on her chest was slightly deformed under the pressure, like a doll that had lost its soul. Qian Renxue did not respond at all. The two Title Douluo who were the protectors of the way had been killed by me, and even her mother seemed to have become Ye Xuan's slave girl. Qian Renxue did not know how to respond to such a shocking message.
Looking at the girl who seemed to be directly played with in his arms, Ye Xuan felt a little bored. He did not expect that Qian Renxue could not bear it just like this. Obviously, the belief that has been supporting the girl all these years is to prove herself to Bibi Dong, and the news brought by Ye Xuan undoubtedly shattered her last support. Although her body has not been played with, she has no motivation to move forward.
"Master, Xue Ke wants to come over. Do I need to delay her?" Zhu Zhuqing's voice sounded at the door. It was obvious that Ye Xuan and Xue Qinghe had been alone in the study for a long time. The real target of the little princess Xue Ke was obviously Ye Xuan, not Zhu Zhuqing. She was probably a little impatient at this time.
"No need. Let her come in directly." Looking at Qian Renxue in his arms, Ye Xuan shook his head regretfully, hugged her and sat on the chair, his hands wandering back and forth on the girl's seductive curve.
"Brother, why are you talking to His Majesty for so long? What are you talking about~Brother?" The lively girl pushed open the door and ran into the study with small steps. What came into view were the two charred corpses on the ground and Qian Renxue held in Ye Xuan's arms in front. The smile on Xue Ke's face became stiff. Zhu Zhuqing, who came in behind her, closed the door of the study and turned a blind eye to the corpse on the ground.
"Wuwuwu... Your Majesty... I didn't see anything, please... spare the Tiandou royal family..."
After covering her mouth and blocking the retching and screaming, Xue Ke didn't hesitate at all. With a trembling voice and crying, the girl knelt on both knees and made a sitting gesture to Ye Xuan. She didn't dare to think about who the strange woman was, nor did she dare to think about where her brother went. Xue Ke's reaction was very quick.
"Don't be so scared. After all, I have helped you catch a traitor. Let me introduce you. This is the saint of the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue~"
Pinching Qian Renxue's wrist, like a kitten waving, Ye Xuan lifted up the other's soft hand and shook it. Qian Renxue raised her head and looked at Xue Ke kneeling on the ground in front of her with her eyes flickering. She seemed to think of her own life experience. It seemed that the lives of both of them were not lived for themselves. For a moment, she actually felt a sense of sympathy for Xue Ke.
"Your Majesty..."
The girl kneeling on the ground couldn't stop trembling. Xue Ke, whose mind was blank, didn't know what to say at this moment. She racked her brains at this moment, hoping not to implicate the royal family behind her. Although the girl acted innocent to the outside world, she was from the imperial family after all. She understood that her current life was built on the background of the Tiandou Empire and the surname Xue.
Obviously, the girl regarded the two corpses and Qian Renxue in Ye Xuan's arms as assassins who came to assassinate. From the beginning, she wanted to excuse the royal family and change her words to beg for mercy directly. This was one of the few ways Xue Ke could think of.
"Tsk... How can one of them be so fragile~"
Looking at Qian Renxue in his arms and Xue Ke on the ground, Ye Xuan felt a little speechless. He didn't expect that one of the two girls directly lost her target and became a doll with no reaction, and the other was directly scared into a quail. For a while, Ye Xuan felt a little headache.
"Kitty, take this little swan with you. Lead the way, to your bedroom~"
He put his head next to Qian Renxue, and Ye Xuan's words rang in the girl's ears. Qian Renxue's eyes moved, and she just mechanically pointed the way for Ye Xuan. Behind him, Xue Ke followed Zhu Zhuqing step by step, and now she was not as bold and lively as when they first met.
In the spacious room, a large bed occupied most of the space. Qian Renxue, who appeared to be Xue Qinghe, had a simple style in the bedroom, with nothing else except the big bed.
With the door locked, Ye Xuan reduced the space blockade covering the entire prince's palace to the size of the bedroom. As for the two corpses in the study before, they had already turned into ashes under the fire element.
"There's really no other way. It seems I can only accept you two first~"
He placed his index finger on Qian Renxue's white forehead. In the other's slightly puzzled gaze, the active ability was activated. It took a few minutes for Qian Renxue's eyes to regain their alertness. Pushing away the girl's delicate body that actively came close to him, Ye Xuan came to Xue Ke, pinched her chin, and made her raise her head. After a few seconds of trance, Xue Ke also lost her fear under the active ability, and only curiosity and expectation remained in her eyes.
