Douluo Continent V: Suppressing Tang San with the Might of the Super Beast God

The next day, Yunlan Sect.

As the first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the window, Qiu Hougong and Yun Yun, who had known each other for over six hours, finally stopped their actions amidst a high-pitched battle cry.

"Yun'er, are you alright?"

Gently brushing aside Yun Yun's disheveled hair, Qiu Hougong looked at her with a very gentle tone and said.

"Phew, it's nothing... I'm fine, Brother Qiu..."

Taking deep breaths, Yun Yun used Qiu Hougong's arm for support to lift herself up. Bathed in sunlight, she looked so pure and beautiful. "I feel very comfortable now, and besides that, I find that my fighting spirit has become more robust, and my physical strength seems to have improved a bit."

"Yes, that's normal..."

Qiu Hougong smiled and pulled Yun Yun back into his arms. Then he leaned close to her slightly reddened ear and said gently, "Over time, changes like this will continue to happen, so from today onwards you won't need to cultivate so hard."

"Yes. Brother Qiu, it's so great to have met you. I want to be with you forever, okay?"

Yun Yun lay on Qiu Hou Gong's body and spoke softly, her bright sapphire eyes filled with love for him.

"Of course, we'll always be together, and we'll never be apart..."

Qiu Hougong looked at Yun Yun with loving eyes, "Alright, let's go to sleep. We can leave the sect's affairs to Yunshan today."

"Okay, whatever you say. Hey, Brother Qiu, don't move it, just leave it like that."

"Huh? Why is that?"

"Because I want... I want to remember it well."

"Oh? Hahaha. Okay, go to sleep, I'll tell you a little story."

"Hmm~"

....................................

The river of time continued to flow in its predetermined direction, and in the blink of an eye, another two years had passed.

During this time, Qiu Hougong, whose strength had reached the level of a two-star Dou Sheng, led the entire Snake-People race to migrate to the Monster Mountain Range and establish a kingdom. In the process, Qiu Hougong also successfully found a person he quite liked.

"Yanran, there was still something wrong with your movements just now..."

Inside a training ground of the Holy Venerable Palace, Qiu Hougong, clad in a black and gold robe, slowly approached Nalan Yanran, who was practicing her fist and foot techniques in the center of the training ground. He then raised his hand to demonstrate, "When doing this movement, your palm should first be clenched into a loose fist, and then clench tightly the instant it touches the target. Moreover, at the same time as you punch, your waist, legs, and feet must all exert force to maximize the power. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Master. I understand."

After listening to Qiu Hougong's words, Nalan Yanran, who had already memorized the precautions he mentioned, nodded and then continued to move according to Qiu Hougong's instructions.

"Okay, okay. Continue with the same movements as before, and then change direction after three hundred punches."

Qiu Hougong praised Nalan Yanran, who had already performed the movements correctly.

Just then, a soft rubbing sound came from behind Qiu Hougong, followed by a pair of delicate white hands covering Qiu Hougong's eyes. "Guess who I am?"

"My dear Yue Mei, you're being naughty again..."

Reaching out to remove the small hand blocking his view, Qiu Hougong suddenly turned around and pulled the beautiful snake woman in front of him into his arms. "Why are you using your snake tail again? Is it because your legs aren't used to it?"

"Because I've found that you like me better this way..."

Reaching out to embrace Qiu Hougong's neck, Yue Mei gently swayed her graceful figure as she whispered in his ear, "Every time I use this form, your fighting spirit is exceptionally strong. Haven't you noticed?"

"I hadn't really noticed that before, but now it seems to be true."

Qiu Hougong smiled as he looked at the charming and beautiful Yue Mei before him and said.

At that moment, a surge of information suddenly flooded into Qiu Hougong's mind, and the smile on Qiu Hougong's face deepened.

"What happened? Why are you so happy?"

Noticing Qiu Hougong's change, Yue Mei asked softly.

"News has come from Wutan City, I need to go there first..."

Qiu Hougong reached out and rubbed it, then said gently to Yue Mei, "Keep an eye on Yanran's training for me, I'll be back soon."

"Okay~ But I want a reward, otherwise I won't accept it~"

Yue Mei gently swayed Qiu Hou Gong's arm.

"Okay, I'll definitely reward you properly when I get back."

Qiu Hougong agreed, and then he instantly disappeared from Yue Mei and Nalan Yanran's sight.

The Empire of Gama, Utan City.

On the wide street, a cute little girl dressed in a light blue dress was walking aimlessly forward.

However, just as she was about to pass a stall, a sparkling bracelet caught her eye.

"What a beautiful bracelet, and the feeling it evokes?"

Slowly crouching down, Gu Xun'er instinctively sensed that the bracelet in front of her was different and gently stroked it twice with her small hand. Then, she looked up at the stall owner wearing a straw hat and a white smiling mask and politely asked, "Hello, how many gold coins does this bracelet cost?"

"This chain is made of special materials and has a complex craftsmanship. If an ordinary person were to buy it, it would cost at least a million gold coins. But little sister, you can take it as you please, I won't take a single penny."

The stall owner said calmly.

"Give it to me directly? Why is that?"

Hearing the stall owner say that, Gu Xun'er's little head was filled with big questions, "Can you tell me why?"

"Of course, because this item is destined for you, little sister, and if you wear it, you'll be able to sleep well tonight."

The stall owner continued.

"Hmm? How did he know this? Could it be..."

After much deliberation, Gu Xun'er finally decided to accept the item. "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The stall owner spoke calmly, and then Gu Xun'er continued walking into the market...

That evening, Gu Xun'er returned to her room and sat on the edge of the bed, then said to the air in front of her, "Elder Ling."

"Your subordinate is here."

Elder Ling appeared before Gu Xun'er and bowed respectfully.

"Could you take a look at this bracelet for me?"

Gu Xun'er took off the bracelet from her wrist and said.

"Yes, ma'am."

Old Master Ling respectfully accepted the bracelet. After examining it, he said, "Miss, this bracelet is made of extremely special materials, and the energy it emits is very pure. Moreover, it can perfectly repair the effects of 'it' on your body, and it is of great help to the repair and expansion of your meridians."

"No wonder I always had this strange feeling; it turns out this little thing is actually so useful..."

After listening to Elder Ling's explanation, Gu Xun'er reached out and took the bracelet, putting it on her wrist. Then she continued to ask him, "Elder Ling, did you notice anything special about the stall owner who sold me the bracelet today?"

"Miss, according to my observation, the person who sold you the bracelet is also a Dou Huang, with a strength of around five stars."

Elder Ling continued.

"A five-star Dou Huang? There's actually a five-star Dou Huang level expert in Wutan City?"

Gu Xun'er was startled, and then she became very curious about this mysterious Dou Huang.

"Mr. Ling, I'd like to meet with this stall owner again tomorrow. What do you think?"

Gu Xun'er looked at Elder Ling, who was bowing his head and speaking to her.

"No, Miss..."

Upon hearing that Gu Xun'er actually had such a plan, Elder Ling immediately spoke up to stop her, saying, "Although that person is not as strong as me, he is currently causing trouble. If Miss gets too close to him, I cannot guarantee your absolute safety."

"Yes, I know. I already have a plan in mind about how to approach him, but before that, I need to confirm whether what he said before was accurate..."

Gu Xun'er nodded, then continued to say to Elder Ling, "Elder Ling, please go back and rest first. We can make decisions on other matters after tonight."

"Yes, ma'am."

Elder Ling bowed and said this, then quickly disappeared from Gu Xun'er's sight.

"Who exactly are you?"

After Elder Ling left, Gu Xun'er first raised her hand to look at the bracelet on her wrist and whispered a few words, then lay back on the bed and closed her eyes.

The next morning, Gu Xun'er gradually woke up from her sleep.

"He wasn't lying to me after all; this stuff actually helped me."

Looking at the bracelet on her wrist, Gu Xun'er jumped out of bed with joy.

After washing up carefully, Gu Xun'er pushed open the door and said to the courtyard in front of her, "Elder Ling."

"Yes, madam. What are your orders?"

Ling Lao, who quickly appeared in front of Gu Xun'er, said respectfully.

"Go to the market and see if that stall owner is there. If he is, tell him to come here to see me..."

Gu Xun'er instructed Elder Ling, "Remember, be polite when you invite him, and absolutely do not let him become dissatisfied with us."

"Yes, Miss. I'll take care of it right away."

After Elder Ling finished speaking respectfully, he disappeared from the spot.

A few minutes later, Elder Ling reappeared beside Gu Xun'er, and standing before them was a young man so handsome that trains would derail upon seeing him and trees would look at him with long legs—Qiu Hougong.

"Are you the stall owner who sold it to me yesterday?"

Gu Xun'er looked at Qiu Hougong and said that this was the first time she had ever seen such a handsome boy.

"Good, it seems you slept very well last night, little sister..."

Qiu Hougong smiled and nodded, then continued, "Your complexion has improved a lot."

"It's all because of the bracelet you gave me..."

Gu Xun'er raised her hand and shook it at Qiu Hougong, then said, "But besides the bracelet, I'm more curious about your background. Can you tell me?"

"My name is Qiu Hougong, and I am not from the Jiama Empire..."

Qiu Hougong said calmly, "The reason I came here is to see if there is anyone here who is destined to be with me. It seems that I have found them."

"Although he's not very strong, he looks very young. If I could get him to join the family, it would be entirely beneficial for me..."

Looking at Qiu Hougong, Gu Xun'er thought for a moment, then said, "My name is Xiao Xun'er. Actually, I also feel that we are quite destined to be together, so would you like to be friends with me?"

"Friends? Sure, I'd love to be your friend."

Seeing Gu Xun'er say this, Qiu Hougong, knowing that the first step of the plan had been successfully implemented, smiled slightly, and then the two began to chat and laugh...

In the following years, Qiu Hougong, whose strength continued to increase, spent most of his time traveling around Wutan City with Gu Xun'er, apart from spending time with his wife and daughter and getting closer to Nalan Yanran.

"Brother Qiu, you're here!"

Outside Wutan City, thirteen-year-old Gu Xun'er ran up to Qiu Hougong, then looked at him with a grin and said, "Today is the day for the younger generation of the Xiao family to test their Dou Qi levels. Will you come with me?"

"Of course, Xun'er, I'll take you there right now."

Qiu Hougong smiled and nodded to Gu Xun'er, then teleported over with Gu Xun'er in a teleportation.

A second later, Qiu Hougong and Gu Xun'er appeared behind a large tree after entering the Xiao family's training ground.

Just as they stepped out from behind the big tree, a cold voice suddenly came from the center of the training ground, "Battle Qi, Level Three!"

"These classic lines really bring back memories of those days."

As Qiu Hougong pondered this, his deep eyes also turned toward the center of the training ground.

Beside a rather large test stone tablet, a boy with decent looks and a fairly robust build stood expressionlessly.

"Xiao Yan, I was so busy getting to know Xun'er that I forgot to pay attention to you. So how should I treat you now?"

After closing the personal information panel, Qiu Hougong couldn't help but think about how to deal with Xiao Yan.

Just as Qiu Hougong was quickly searching through his mind for solutions, the next person to take the test stepped forward.

"Xiao Mei, Battle Qi: Seventh Stage! Level: Advanced!"

As the examiner's voice rang out, Qiu Hougong, who had already devised a plan, looked up at the girl in the center who was pleased with her score.

"Xiao Mei... this woman is not very significant. Although I can understand the choices she made, I can't accept them."

Turning his gaze away from Xiao Mei, who was being cheered on by the Xiao clan, Qiu Hougong bent down and said gently to Gu Xun'er, who was standing in front of him, "Xun'er, it's almost your turn."

"what?"

Gu Xun'er blushed slightly from the hot breath Qiu Hougong blew over her, but she didn't move an inch. "Brother Qiu, how did you know?"
