Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 346 The Yuanen Family
Inside the silver space, Da Ming and Er Ming still looked shaken.

The killing intent that Tang San just exuded was definitely not a joke.

They truly brushed shoulders with death.

Despite his calm demeanor, Da Ming had experienced great ups and downs in his life.

Fortunately, he made the right bet.

Erming suddenly let out a long sigh of relief. He reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his gaze toward Qian Gu Qitian was filled with a sense of awe.

He finally realized how ridiculous his probing at the restaurant had been.

This young man was able to hold his own against Tang San.

After a few years of honing their skills, Erming couldn't even imagine how terrifying their strength would become.

Qian Gu Qi Tian took in the expressions of Da Ming and Er Ming, a faint smile on his face:

"Gentlemen, I am very satisfied with your pledge of allegiance. Welcome to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Da Ming sighed inwardly and said:

"Now that Erming and I have joined the Star Dou Great Forest, should we acknowledge someone as our master, or you?"

Qian Gu Qi Tian met Da Ming's gaze and said very seriously:
"I'm just a gofer. Remember, you will only ever have one master, and that is the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena."

This is a matter of principle.

He can act as a de facto leader, guiding the soul beasts towards a new era.

However, as Gu Yuena's husband, Qian Gu Qitian must give Gu Yuena respect.

His domineering attitude in the Star Dou Great Forest was merely to establish his authority.

"I understand." Da Ming nodded. "Then how should we address you from now on?"

"random."

Qian Gu Qi Tian waved his hand dismissively, seemingly unconcerned.

Now that Da Ming and Er Ming have tried to kill Tang Wulin, Tang San has shown no mercy to them either.

Given Tang San's personality, it's impossible for the three of them to reconcile.

Both Da Ming and Er Ming were fully aware of this.

Perhaps they felt a pang of regret when they saw Tang San appear, but now they are completely convinced.

After the silvery-white light disappeared, the group returned to the restaurant.

The restaurant staff demonstrated excellent service skills when the group reappeared, and did not make a fuss about it.

It is a universally acknowledged fact that powerful Soul Masters can move mountains and fill seas.

As the political center of the Sun-Moon Federation, Mingdu is also a place where hidden talents abound.

Today, only Chuanling City, which is still under renovation, can compare with it.

The locals living here are naturally used to this.

The round trip from Soto didn't actually take too much time.

Ten minutes later, the restaurant had just finished preparing the meal.

The broken table was now perfectly intact. This was not because the restaurant had replaced it, but because Qian Gu Qi Tian had used the power of the Time Law to reverse the time of the table back to the state it was in before it was shattered.

Of course, the group wasn't there to eat.

Now that the matter is settled, Qian Gu Qi Tian said directly:

"Alright, I'll talk to Na'er. Da Ming will meet with her again later."

"As for Erming, I have something to discuss with you..."

Da Ming nodded and said:
"Alright, then I'll wait for your good news."

Watching Da Ming's departing figure, Er Ming was about to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

So he turned his gaze to the eternally great Qitian and asked in a deep, muffled voice:

"My lord, is there something you need that you left me alone with?"

"Pfft~"

Hearing Erming address Qian Gu Qitian, Nanali couldn't help but laugh.

But then she suddenly realized something and tried her best to control her expression.

Qian Gu Qi Tian was somewhat speechless. He glanced at Nanali beside him and hugged the little pet, whose face was flushed red.

"Laugh if you want to. I'm not an unfeeling person."

Nanali suddenly didn't want to smile anymore. A happy smile filled her eyes, and her voice was soft and sweet:
"Master, you're so kind~"

Looking at the two of them, Qian Gu Qi Tian and Nana Li, who were snuggling together, Er Ming scratched his head, unsure whether he should look or not.

After giving Nanali a sweet treat, Qian Gu Qi Tiancai said to Er Ming:

"Do you remember what I told you before, that you have a bloodline lineage in Douluo Continent?"

Erming's eyes changed from clear, foolish gaze to a deep, serious look, and he said in a low voice:
“My lord, I remember. You said you would take me there…”

Eternal Equal to Heaven: ...

He didn't know how Erming could use such a silly nickname with such a serious expression.

The eternal Qitian sighed and said:
"Don't call me 'Lord Man' anymore. From now on, just call me by my name."

After thinking it over, Qian Gu Qi Tian decided that it would be better not to address Er Ming in a way that showed a clear difference in status between them.

After all, the other party was an ancestor of Yuanen Yehui. When Erming met Yuanen Yehui's elder, he suddenly used an even more exaggerated form of address. Qian Gu Qitian was afraid that he would be attacked by the Yuanen family.

Although he didn't really care, he still had to consider Yuan En Hui's feelings...

"This...is not good..."

Erming was somewhat conflicted.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's settled then."

The Emperor Qitian made the decision directly.

"Meet me outside Spirit City three days from now."

"Spirit Transmission City? Where is that?"

Clearly, Erming, who doesn't pay much attention to the human world, is unaware that Shrek City has been renamed.

"It's the original Shrek."

……

Three days later, Qian Gu Qi Tian, ​​along with Yuan En Ye Hui, encountered Er Ming, who had been waiting there, in the eastern suburbs of Chuan Ling City.

A few days ago, when Yuan En Ye Hui learned that Qian Gu Qi Tian was going to take her back to her family, she was not as nervous or excited as she had imagined.

Perhaps I used to have some feelings for my family.

But after all these years, she, who has achieved the legendary status of "Equal to Heaven," now has a new home.

At that time, her heart was not yet completely closed off, but Qian Gu Qi Tian forcefully broke in and completely filled her young heart.

Once, Yuan En Ye Hui's home was her parents; now, Yuan En Ye Hui's home is Qian Gu Qi Tian.

But—she still has to go back eventually.

In her current ancestral land, the only thing she cherishes is her father.

When Erming saw Yuanen Yehui, with her long purple-red hair, walking towards him, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

In the darkness, he could feel a faint bloodline connection with Yuanen Yehui.

As Erming looked at Yuanen Yehui, Yuanen Yehui also stood behind Qian Gu Qitian, looking at Erming somewhat awkwardly.

Is this... the ancestor that Brother Qitian mentioned, my ancestor?
"Qi Tian... this, is this Xiao Yehui?"

Erming's voice sounded somewhat uneasy.

Qian Gu Qi Tian nodded, and he whispered to Yuan En Ye Hui beside him:
"Little Yehui, this is the Titan Giant Ape I told you about, from the Star Dou Great Forest. Your martial souls were also inherited from him."

Yuan Enhui called out timidly:
"Ancestors."

At this point, Ye Hui is not as mature as she was in the original timeline, which is actually a good thing.

Premature maturity means enduring pain; this is the price of growth.

This was undoubtedly painful for Yuan Enhui.

The appearance of the legendary Qitian changed everything.

"Hahaha!" Erming laughed heartily, all his previous gloom vanishing at this moment.

"Little Yehui, since this is our first meeting, I don't have anything to give you, but... you must accept this."

As he spoke, Erming drew a rune in the air with his right hand, and a flash of light appeared. In the center of the rune, there was a clump of blood that was as clear and bright as a ruby.

As Yuan Enhui gazed at the drop of blood, her first martial soul, the Titan Giant Ape, suddenly stirred with emotion.

Her martial spirit yearns.

Erming's face turned pale for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.

A gentle smile appeared on his face as he slowly pushed the drop of blood into Yuanen Yehui's brow.

Even the mighty Qitian could not stop it.

The drop of blood that Erming injected into Yuanen Yehui's body was a drop of primordial true blood that had been nurtured within him. For Yuanen Yehui, whose martial souls shared the same origin, it was no less valuable than consuming a divine herb.

The primordial blood entered Yuanen Yehui's brow, and as soon as it entered, the blood in Yuanen Yehui's body felt restless.

But soon, that feeling gradually subsided.

The original true blood is different from the essence blood. It will not bring Yuanen Yehui a qualitative leap, but will change the quality of Yuanen Yehui's martial soul without her realizing it.

This subtle and gentle approach is more suitable for Yuan En Ye Hui now.

Yuan Enhui's eyes were bright. Although she didn't know what Erming had injected into her body, she could sense that it must be something very precious.

She quickly bowed and said:

"Thank you, ancestors!"

"Hey~" Erming quickly helped Yuanen Yehui up and said with a smile, "I already told you, this is a gift for you."

Qian Gu Qi Tian nodded:
"You have a heart."

As he spoke, a stream of life energy flowed into Erming's body from a place unseen by Yuanen Yehui.

Erming's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

"Alright, it's time for us to get going."

The Yuanen family is located in the central-eastern part of Douluo Continent, which is actually not too far from the present-day Chuanling City.

It was a city called Shangling City, located next to the former Star Dou Great Forest.

This is a second-tier city, surrounded by mountains, and the Soul Guidance Train needs to go through a tunnel to pass through it.

Nowadays, Qian Gu Qi Tian rarely rides the Soul Guidance Train, and this time is no exception.

Because of the close proximity, Qian Gu Qi Tian did not choose spatial jump, but instead used the wind element.

This time, he only needs to bring Yuanen Yehui.

"Yehui, hold me tight."

Qian Gu Qi Tian embraced Yuan En Ye Hui's slender waist and whispered in her ear.

After feeling Yuan Enhui's arms embrace him, Qian Gu Qitian rose into the air, leaving a long trail behind him.

Seeing the two so close, Erming quickly followed.

In just twenty minutes, the three arrived above Shangling City.

Shangling City is surrounded by mountains, which are covered with lush vegetation. The environmental protection here is surprisingly good. As soon as you enter Shangling City, the air becomes noticeably fresher, and even the sky seems bluer.

Shangling City is not large. Because the Titan Giant Ape Clan is a reclusive sect, they do not live in the bustling city center, but in a manor in the western suburbs.

To put it nicely, it's a manor; in reality, it's more like a village, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, backed by vast, dense forests. It has a real Shangri-La feel to it.

Thanks to the Yuanen family's proper management, although the village is entirely located on a mountain, a winding mountain road passes by the door of all the villagers, and soul-guided vehicles can drive up it, making transportation very convenient.

As Yuanen Yehui, held in Qian Gu Qitian's arms, looked down at the mountain village below, her eyes involuntarily welling up with tears.

Although she said she had let go, revisiting the familiar place still touched her most vulnerable heart with these familiar sights.

This place once held countless beautiful memories for her, but it also held countless painful ones.

As they approached the village, Qian Gu Qi Tian descended from the sky, carrying Yuan En Ye Hui.

It would be somewhat disrespectful to continue flying at high altitudes near someone else's territory.

The remaining people, three of them, needed to walk in.

Along the path, Erming's eyes were filled with curiosity. He could clearly sense an atmosphere so familiar to him in this small village, how could he not be excited?

Almost everyone here is a descendant of him!
As a being that has existed for countless years, he is no longer a pure soul beast. In a sense, he is at least partly human and has similar characteristics to humans. Even as a soul beast, the inheritance of life is the most important thing.

Having always believed he had no descendants, how could he not be overwhelmed by the sight of so many offspring? The feeling was simply too wonderful. It was a kind of wonder he had never experienced in his tens of thousands of years of life.

Erming hadn't been this happy in a long time, and he couldn't wait to appear before his descendants.

He didn't want to prove anything, nor did he want his descendants to call him their ancestor. He just wanted to see them live happily and continue his bloodline, and that would be enough for him.

For the first time in his life, he felt a strong sense of goodwill towards humanity, even more so than Tang San had felt before.

Qian Gu Qi Tian and his two companions stopped before they reached the Yuanen family's ancestral lands.

He politely stopped a villager and said gently:
"Uncle, please inform your clan chief that an old friend has come to visit."

The middle-aged man looked at the three unfamiliar people in front of him and asked with some confusion:
"You are?"

The villager did not refuse, because judging from Qian Gu Qitian's attire and demeanor, he did not seem like an ordinary person. However, seeing the clan chief was not an easy matter, and he still needed to find out the details.

“Just say the words ‘Night Glow’ and he will understand.”

"Okay, you all wait here."

The villagers nodded and then left.

Soon, as the news was reported, the higher-ups of the Yuanen family learned that the former devilish daughter had returned.

Inside the ancestral home of the Yuanen family, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face gritted his teeth and said:

"That jinx actually dared to come back!"
