Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

Captured, sealed away, traded...

And then it was given away?!

"This is a disgrace, this is my disgrace!" Within the embryo, the Snow Emperor's soul had bloodshot eyes, was panting heavily, and was filled with hysterical rage. "Damn humans, I will crush you all to death!"

"what!!!!!"

But no one will ever hear her anger; standing on the Investiture Platform, even her rage seems laughable.

Chapter 123 Princess Becomes Empress, Star Crown

While Xu Jiawei was busy, Xu Jiujiu was also undergoing a transformation inside the Xinghuang Hotel.

She's grown up...

As the night passed, Xu Jiujiu seemed to have transformed from a naive and lovely princess into a mature and majestic empress. A girl's growth often only takes a single, insignificant night, especially since Xu Jiujiu thoroughly enjoyed this night.

The next day, warm sunlight shone through the hazy curtains onto Xu Jiujiu's face. She opened her eyes as if waking from a dream and stretched lazily with a contented expression.

"Ah, this feels so good~" The aloof empress transformed back into the naive princess at this moment.

As a celestial herb, the Qiluo Tulip is certainly not exclusive to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. The Star Crown Martial Soul is also highly compatible with it. The most direct manifestation of the evolution of a Martial Soul is the change in the Soul Master.

After absorbing the Qiluo Tulip, Ning Rongrong exuded an ethereal and noble aura. Although she naturally possessed this aura as the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it was amplified countless times after the Qiluo Tulip evolved her martial soul.

Xu Jiujiu is clearly different from Ning Rongrong. After her martial soul evolved, the Qiluo Tulip brought out her lofty queenly aura. Not only her aura, but Xu Jiujiu's appearance also seemed to have grown up a few years, reaching the most beautiful age of a young girl.

In other words... it has fully grown up.

The aloof empress made such a languid gesture, and her expression was so contrasting that Ye Qing was even slightly agitated.

Originally, Xu Jiujiu was basically considered to be a beauty of Zhang Lexuan's level in Ye Qing's assessment, but after taking the Qiluo Tulip, her assessment in Ye Qing's eyes has risen to the level of Brigitte.

"Is this the joy of nurturing?" Ye Qing stared at Xu Jiujiu's face, thoughtfully touching his chin.

Raise a princess who won't prick you!

"Xuan, I'm level 57!" Xu Jiujiu, as if waking from a dream, sensed her soul power and her expression immediately lit up with joy.

When Ye Qing met her last year, she was level 45. She had leveled up four times in a year. After being discouraged by Ye Qing, Xu Jiujiu obviously devoted more of her time to cultivation. With the help of the royal family's abundant cultivation resources, she successfully broke through to the Soul King level, reaching level 51.

After consuming the Qiluo Tulip, she directly increased her level by six in one night. If she were to maintain her cultivation speed after becoming a Soul King, it would take her more than a year to cultivate this level of soul power.

Ye Qing didn't care about her soul power level. Instead, he reminded her, "The improvement of soul power is just the most inconspicuous effect of the immortal herb. Its real effect is to allow the soul master to undergo a transformation and change the martial soul. Don't worry about your soul power. Release your martial soul and let's take a look."

After a long while, she nodded hastily, placing her hands in front of her as if holding her heart. Brilliant starlight immediately shone in her hands, and then she placed the starlight on the top of her head, whereupon a magnificent and majestic crown appeared.

Compared to the Star Crown Martial Soul of a long time ago, the current Martial Soul seems to have evolved from simple lines to extreme colors. Although the overall shape has not become more bloated, the number of stars adorning the Star Crown has increased from twenty-four to forty-eight. The largest star shines brightly between her eyebrows, making her look noble and majestic.

As the one who underwent the evolution of her martial soul, Xu Jiujiu was most aware of the changes in her own martial soul.

She could clearly feel that her martial soul was much stronger than before. Her Star Crown Martial Soul had completely evolved, from only being able to draw upon the power of stars to now being able to use the power of the sun, moon, and stars.

The power of the five spirit rings and the seven spirit skills on the two spirit bones has also been greatly enhanced due to the evolution of the martial spirit.

The biggest change is to her fourth soul skill, Star Guardian. Originally, this soul skill required a full twenty-four days to fully charge all the stars, and it could only be charged at night.

However, the evolved soul skill not only doubled the number of stars it could store, but also reduced the energy consumption. Most importantly, it could absorb the power of the sun, moon, and stars, and could even absorb the power of the sun to recharge during the day.

Originally, she could only charge one star a day, but if she focused on charging, she could now charge three stars a day.

The power remaining in the stars is not only more abundant in quantity, but also significantly improved in quality, yielding greater benefits in less time than before.

Other soul skills also received varying degrees of enhancement.

After experiencing the changes within her body, Xu Jiujiu's eyes reddened again. Her soul power increased dramatically, and her martial soul underwent a leap in evolution. Apart from the legendary immortal herbs, she didn't know what else could achieve this.

This means that what Ye Qing gave her was the real Qiluo Tulip.

"Xuan, this is too precious." Xu Jiujiu leaned gently against Ye Qing's chest, her voice choked with emotion.

At this point, Ye Qing certainly wouldn't give her a straight-laced, foolish response. He should press his advantage now, not deliberately lower his wits.

Ye Qing smiled slightly: "To me, it's not as important as you."

It's very oily, but very effective!

The same words, if said to someone who doesn't like you, would sound incredibly cheesy. But if you say them to someone who likes you, it's like a double dose of masochism.

For example, Xu Jiujiu right in front of me.

Upon hearing Ye Qing's answer, the princess's eyes widened in delight. The thought that she held a place in Ye Qing's heart even more important than the immortal herb filled her with a secret joy, and a sense of happiness enveloped her.

"Alright, get up and go have some breakfast."

……

"Xuan, what do you think I should call my evolved martial soul?" Xu Jiujiu asked Ye Qing during the meal.

"The emperor among the stars, let's call it the Star Crown, if your brother doesn't mind. After all, this name seems a bit offensive to an emperor of a country," Ye Qing replied casually while eating breakfast.

Asking someone who's terrible at naming things to help with the name is really showing great taste; they must be worried he'll end up with a name like "Star Crown Pro Max Plus."

But Xu Jiujiu seemed quite satisfied with the name: "Starry Crown is great! I think it's excellent!"

"Hmm, it's indeed very nice. Let's call it the Star Crown then. There's nothing offensive or offensive about it." At this moment, a somewhat amiable yet authoritative voice rang out from the doorway.

"Hmm? Royal Brother!" Xu Jiujiu paused slightly while eating, then turned around in surprise after swallowing the food.

At the entrance, Xu Jiawei looked at Ye Qing with a complicated expression. Beside him, on the left and right, were Nebula Douluo Manyi and Shattered Star Douluo.

Chapter 124 No, it's already in my hands?

Xu Jiawei stepped into the room, followed closely by the two Title Douluos.

"Royal brother, Grandma Manyi, Grandpa Suixing!" Xu Jiujiu greeted them one by one, her beautiful face adorned with a sweet smile.

She was in a really good mood, not only because she had a boyfriend like Ye Qing who was willing to give her immortal herbs, but also because of the evolution of her martial soul.

The evolution of a Martial Soul is something every Soul Master dreams of, as it means that their strength and potential have been enhanced. The more powerful a Soul Master's Martial Soul is, the more they desire their Martial Soul to become even stronger.

Except for the rats of the Haotian Sect.

"Greetings to the three of you." Ye Qing stood up, cupped his hands and bowed slightly to them, then swept the remaining food on the table into his soul tool and released a tea set to brew tea.

"Everyone, please take a seat."

Xu Jiawei didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly opposite Ye Qing. For him, there was no place in the entire Star Luo Empire that he couldn't sit, but Ye Qing had indeed gained his approval.

Manyi and Suixing also sat down on the side. Ordinary soul masters would definitely not be able to sit with Xu Jiawei, but they were both powerful titled Douluo, and their status was obviously not comparable to that of ordinary soul masters.

As for Xu Jiujiu...

Under Xu Jiawei's extremely complicated gaze, she smiled and sat down next to Ye Qing, taking his arm.

"It's true what they say, daughters are like birds that fly away when they grow up." Xu Jiawei shook his head helplessly. "She's not even married yet. If she really gets married, she probably won't come to see her brother for three to five years."

Xu Jiujiu's face suddenly turned red, and she retorted softly, "No way, Your Majesty, you're just teasing me!"

However, Manyi and Suixing also joined in teasing Xu Jiujiu. The three of them had a relationship similar to that of Ning Rongrong and Sword Bone Douluo. Although they were not as close as the latter three, Manyi and Suixing had basically watched Xu Jiujiu grow up.

The four of them bantered back and forth, while Ye Qing, with a smile on her face, brewed tea and listened to their conversation.

Of course, Ye Qing could sense that Xu Jiawei and the other two, who seemed to be teasing Xu Jiujiu, were actually observing him openly and secretly. He couldn't understand why these people always acted so stealthily. Why couldn't they just talk things out openly and honestly?

drunk.

But since they are the family members of one of my future wives, I'll put up with it!

After chatting for a few more rounds, Xu Jiawei finally stopped and turned his attention to Ye Qing.

Alright, the feeling of sneaking around is finally gone. Now it's time to get down to business, right?

Ye Qing and Xu Jiawei looked at each other and met eyes, Ye Qing maintaining her composed and confident smile.

"The Star Crown, Ye Xuan, I underestimated your generosity. I never expected you would be willing to give such a precious treasure as the Immortal Herb to Jiu Jiu." Xu Jiawei sighed with a complicated tone.

Ye Qing looked down at the small hand that had been intertwined with hers for a long time, and replied in a relaxed tone, "What's with all this talk about hands? I have the things, they're useful to Jiu Jiu, and she needs them too, so I gave them to her. It's definitely more effective for Jiu Jiu than for me."

After a long while, she gripped Ye Qing's hand tighter, her beautiful eyes filled with emotion.

Xu Jiawei frowned in confusion. He had considered many possibilities, but he never expected Ye Qing to give such an answer. However, when he saw Ye Qing and Xu Jiujiu gazing deeply into each other's eyes, the veins on Xu Jiawei's forehead twitched involuntarily.

Hesitantly, the case is solved. Turns out, he's just a hopeless romantic. No wonder he would come up with something so useful.

When you think about how someone with a love-struck mind would do something like this, it's not surprising at all.

"No matter what, since you've chosen to give the immortal herb to Jiu Jiu, as Jiu Jiu's elder brother, I naturally won't let you give it away in vain." Xu Jiawei coughed lightly twice, interrupting the sweet gaze between them.

"Brother, do you have any treasures you can give back to Xuan?" Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu's eyes lit up.

Since she met Ye Qing, it seems that Ye Qing has always been the one giving her useful things, such as the Eternal Star Soul Bone before, and now this Qiluo Tulip Immortal Herb, while all she can give back to him is that piece of scrap metal like gold soul coins.

Although Xu Jiujiu didn't say it, she was still quite upset inside.

As a princess of a nation, having to live off her boyfriend is like not being able to find any "Happy Beans" while playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

It's not fun at all.

Upon hearing Xu Jiawei's statement that he wouldn't let Ye Qing's efforts go to waste, Xu Jiujiu immediately understood that his elder brother had found something good to return the favor with!

Ye Qing also subconsciously glanced at the excited Xu Jiujiu. Judging from the girl's excited appearance, he felt that his previous guess was probably really going to come true. Even if Xu Jiawei did not intend to give him the Snow Emperor embryo as a return gift, Xu Jiujiu would probably try her best to persuade Xu Jiawei to send the embryo over.

What a wonderful wife! She truly knows how to care for me and think of me. Giving her this magical herb was definitely worth it.
