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

"Don't worry, Yanran. You'll find out soon enough."

Qiu Hougong reached out and patted Nalan Yanran's head with a smile.

Just then, a soft and charming voice suddenly rang out from behind the auction stage, and a voluptuous woman in a red dress walked out from there.

"Greetings, esteemed gentlemen and ladies. Welcome to the Mittel Auction House. I am Ya Fei, the auctioneer for this auction..."

As Ya Fei stood on the auction stage, she carefully explained the process. Gu Xun'er and Nalan Yanran, who were sitting in Qiu Hou Gong's room, finally understood his purpose in coming here.

"Brother Qiu, what do you mean?"

Gu Xun'er turned to look at Qiu Hougong and asked, while Nalan Yanran also cast a questioning glance at her from the side.

"I'll take you home after the auction; I can handle things here myself."

Qiu Hougong replied, and then the three of them chatted while waiting for the auction to end.

One hundred and fifty minutes later, Qiu Hougong, having finished watching Ya Fei's brilliant commentary, got up and left with Gu Xun'er and the other two women.

After sending them back to the Xiao family and the Holy Venerable Palace respectively, Qiu Hougong, who had already sensed that Ya Fei was there, opened a spatial rift and went inside.

Click!

As the sound of a three-piece cup shattering rang out, Ya Fei looked at Qiu Hougong, who had appeared in her room at some unknown time, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"My name is Qiu Hougong, and I am a wanderer..."

Removing the shattered Three Talents Cup from beside Ya Fei's snow-white legs, Qiu Hougong smiled and said to Ya Fei, "Your name is Ya Fei, right?"

"Yes, this humble woman is indeed Consort Ya..."

Ya Fei nodded, then asked cautiously, "Senior, have you come to see me because you need something?"

"Yes. I do have something to attend to..."

Qiu Hougong nodded, then took out a booklet from his system inventory and said, "This technique is called the Nine Revolutions Soft and Gentle Technique, and its rank is High Heaven Rank. Now, I will give it to you to cultivate."

"A high-level Heaven-rank cultivation technique?!"

Upon hearing Qiu Hougong's words, Ya Fei, who was extremely shocked, thought she had misheard. "Senior, are you joking with me?"

"Whether it's a joke or not, you'll know for yourself when you see it."

As Qiu Hougong spoke, the booklet in his hand slowly flew to Ya Fei's front and slowly opened.

"Well……"

Having received so much information for the first time, Ya Fei couldn't help but let out a soft hum, but she was immediately shocked by the information that appeared in her mind.

"The gentle flow of the Nine Transformations continues endlessly... This is actually a Heavenly Rank cultivation technique!"

Ya Fei thought to herself, but soon another question began to surface in her mind.

"Senior, you have bestowed such a precious treasure upon Consort Ya. What do you need Consort Ya for?"

Ya Fei looked at Qiu Hou, who was still smiling, and said in a respectful voice.

"I don't need you to do anything. You just need to know that from today onwards, your family will no longer pose any threat to you..."

As Qiu Hougong spoke, he reached out and moved Ya Fei to a chair next to him, saying, "Because I will stay by your side forever."

"Yes, thank you, senior."

Seeing Qiu Hougong say this, Ya Fei, who had already sensed his deep sincerity, said softly, "Although I don't know Qiu Hougong very well, judging from his generous behavior, following Qiu Hougong shouldn't be a bad thing..."

Time flies, and another five months have passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Qiu Hougong used spatial teleportation to enter Ya Fei's room as usual.

However, unlike before, this time Ya Fei did not sit quietly in a chair waiting for her to appear.

"Xiaoya, what are you doing?"

Looking at the slender figure behind the thin gauze curtain, Qiu Hougong, without using his divine sense to see through her, sat in his chair and spoke softly.

"I'm taking a shower, Brother Qiu, please wait a moment, I'll be done soon."

"That's what Ya Fei replied."

"Okay, no rush. Take your time."

Upon hearing Ya Fei's voice, Qiu Hougong, wondering why she would be taking a bath at this time, smiled and agreed. Then, a light blue panel appeared before his eyes.

"Heh... I think I know what Xiaoya is trying to do now."

After reading the information on the panel, Qiu Hougong, who already had the answer in his heart, smiled slightly, then closed his eyes and listened quietly to the sound of flowing water coming from inside the thin gauze.

Twenty minutes later, Qiu Hougong opened his eyes after the sound of running water disappeared. Immediately afterwards, a beautiful purple figure walked out from behind the thin veil.

"I'm sorry, Brother Qiu, I've kept you waiting."

As she slowly approached Qiu Hougong, Ya Fei, her pretty face slightly flushed, said...

"It won't be long, this little bit of time is nothing..."

Qiu Hougong smiled and pulled Yafei into his arms. Then he took out a wine pot, two wine cups, and a dish of snacks from his system inventory. "This is a fine wine that I have aged for many years. Would you like to have a cup to try?"

Sitting on Qiu Hougong's lap, Yafei took a deep breath, then pressed herself against Qiu Hougong and said softly, "I want to, but I'm not a big drinker. If I get drunk, please don't mind, Brother Qiu."

"Haha, Xiaoya, don't worry, how could I possibly dislike you..."

Qiu Hougong put his arm around Ya Fei's soft waist and laughed loudly. Then he picked up a full wine glass and brought it to her lips, saying gently, "Come on, have a taste."

"Hmm~"

Ya Fei nodded, then opened her red lips and bit the wine glass in front of her.

"How is it? How does it taste?"

Seeing Ya Fei's increasingly rosy cheeks, Qiu Hougong's smile deepened.

"It's delicious! This is the best wine I've ever tasted..."

Ya Fei licked her red lips, then picked up another wine glass filled with wine and handed it to Qiu Hougong, saying softly, "Brother Qiu, have a drink too."

"Okay, let's do it together."

Qiu Hougong smiled and agreed, and then the two of them started drinking, one cup after another.

Twenty minutes later, Ya Fei, whose pretty face was as red as an apple, reached out and took Qiu Hou Gong's large hand from her waist, then placed it where it should be. "Brother Qiu, I want to tell you something."

"what's up?"

Qiu Hougong looked at the heavily intoxicated Consort Ya and asked.

"Something very important..."

Looking at Qiu Hougong's face, which she found so captivating, Ya Fei gently pointed to the large bed beside her and said, "Let's go over there, I'll tell you slowly."

"Okay, let's talk about it slowly."

Qiu Hougong nodded, then picked up Ya Fei and walked to the side...

Over the next month, Qiu Hougong brought Ya Fei to the Holy Venerable Palace to hone her combat skills with Gu Yuena and Lin. Ya Fei's progress was also remarkable.

That day, Qiu Hougong, who had just finished honing his skills with Gu Yuena and the others, instantly arrived above the Xiao family's territory, intending to take Gu Xun'er back to the Holy Venerable Palace to train with Nalan Yanran.

However, just as he was about to land in Gu Xun'er's courtyard, a tall and slender figure walking inside the Xiao family's residence caught Qiu Hougong's attention.

Name: Xiao Yu

Mental state: Excellent

Physical condition: Excellent

Current age: 18 years old

Current Rank: Three-Star Fighter

Current Battle Qi Technique: Intermediate Xuan-level Skill - Spirit Feather Technique

Current key person in the relationship: Xiao Ning (younger brother)

Host affinity: Zero

Current combat strength: 300 (combat experience is slightly lacking).

Character evaluation: A student at Canaan Academy, and also one of the three beauties of the Xiao family.

"Xiao Yu, well... although she doesn't have many scenes, she's a very nice person."

After closing the information panel, Qiu Hougong, having already made up his mind, first went to Gu Xun'er's courtyard and took her back to the Holy Venerable Palace.

More than ten minutes later, Qiu Hougong, having finished handing over all the training tasks for the day, teleported back to the sky above the Xiao family. He then silently appeared behind Xiao Yu, who was training in the back mountain, and commented, "Hmm, the moves are quite sharp. It's a pity that the control over battle qi is still insufficient, otherwise the power would be increased by about 20%."

"Flying Feather Nine Slashes, Third Form - Feather Fierce Slash!"

Upon hearing Qiu Hougong's voice and realizing that a stranger was standing behind him, Xiao Yu suddenly turned around and unleashed his strongest attack at Qiu Hougong.

However, to Xiao Yu's shock, not only did her attack fail to injure Qiu Hougong, but her sword was also tightly gripped by Qiu Hougong's fingers.

"hateful!"

Realizing she was no match for her, Xiao Yu gritted her teeth. Just as she released her sword and was about to turn around and seek help from her clan, she was shocked to find that her body could no longer move.

"When a stranger appears behind you, your first reaction is to attack rather than speak. Hmm, that reaction speed deserves praise..."

With a flick of his wrist, Qiu Hougong placed Xiao Yu's sword back at her feet. As he slowly walked up to Xiao Yu, he continued to comment, "It's a pity that you're facing me this time. If it were someone with similar strength but who likes to talk, you would have already won."

"Who are you? What brings you to the Xiao family?"

While struggling to break free of her restraints, Xiao Yu gritted her teeth and spoke to Qiu Hougong in front of her.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in the Xiao family's resources..."

Qiu Hougong smiled and released the restraints on Xiao Yu, then continued, "I just thought you had good talent and wanted to take you as my disciple."

"Take me as your disciple?"

Picking up the sword from the ground, Xiao Yu quickly distanced herself from Qiu Hougong, saying, "Do you think I would believe what you're saying?"

"You won't, but you must believe..."

Qiu Hougong looked at Xiao Yu and said slowly, then an aura far beyond Xiao Yu's comprehension surged from his body, "Because I have no reason to lie to you."

"What a terrifying aura! Just how strong is he?"

Overwhelmed by Qiu Hougong's imposing aura, Xiao Yu forcibly controlled his hands, which were trembling instinctively, and then raised them to bow to Qiu Hougong, saying, "Junior Xiao Yu greets senior."

"No need for formalities..."

Qiu Hougong waved his hand at Xiao Yu, then continued, "Now, are you still going to refuse to become my apprentice?"

"Master, please accept my bow."

Hearing Qiu Hougong say this, Xiao Yu, knowing her opportunity had arrived, immediately changed her mind. Since she only had tutors, not a master, at Canaan Academy, there was no problem with her becoming Qiu Hougong's disciple.

"Alright, alright. Disciple, you may dispense with the formalities..."

Qiu Hougong helped Xiao Yu up from a distance, then took out a small booklet from his system inventory and handed it to Xiao Yu, saying, "My name is Qiu Hougong. This advanced Heaven-rank cultivation technique is called the Nine-Character Heart Control Technique. Now I will pass it on to you. You must cultivate it diligently and remember that you must not be passive or negligent. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Master. Your disciple will definitely cultivate diligently and never let you down."

Upon receiving the cultivation method of the Nine-Character Heart Control Technique, Xiao Yu, upon discovering just how powerful this technique was, immediately bowed to Qiu Hou Gong with great excitement.

"Alright, let's go. Your master will take you to a quiet place to cultivate."

Qiu Hougong helped Xiao Yu up again from a distance, and then the two of them instantly left the back mountain...

Two weeks later, under Qiu Hougong's tutelage, Xiao Yu's combat strength and cultivation level improved rapidly, and the relationship between the two also became increasingly intimate.

"Master..."

On a small hill outside Wutan City, Xiao Yu, carrying a sword, respectfully bowed to Qiu Hougong, who had his back to him, and said, "This disciple's holiday at Canaan Academy has come to an end."

"Yes, I understand..."

Qiu Hougong turned around and looked at Xiao Yu, saying, "In order to ensure that your cultivation speed does not slow down, I plan to go to Canaan Academy with you."

"Oh? Master, are you coming too?"

Hearing Qiu Hougong say this, Xiao Yu was quite happy and said.

"Okay, tell me the approximate coordinates of Canaan Academy, and I'll take you there directly."

Qiu Hougong nodded and said.

"Yes, Master. The location of Canaan Academy is..."

Xiao Yu spoke, and then the two walked towards the spatial rift that had been opened.

Black Corner, Canaan Academy.

In the mentor's office, Ruolin, having just finished dealing with some matters concerning the students, got up to water the potted plants on the balcony.

However, just as she got up and was about to touch the kettle, a knock on the door, neither too loud nor too soft, suddenly reached her ears.

"Please come in."

Ruolin, who had sat back down, spoke, and then two figures walked in from outside the door.

"Xiao Yu, you're back. And who is this?"

Ruolin nodded at Xiao Yu, who looked quite well, then turned to Qiu Hougong, who was standing in front of her, and asked.

"My name is Qiu Hougong, and I am Xiao Yu's master."

As Qiu Hougong spoke, he also felt a sense of affirmation for Ruolin's appearance and stats.

"Xiao Yu's master?"

Ruolin was startled, then looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, is what this Young Master Qiu said true?"
