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

The next day, early morning.

Gently stroking Liu Erlong's rising and falling belly, Qiu Hougong looked up at her and smiled, "Sister, how do you feel?"

"Phew, that feels great! I've lived for over forty years and this is the first time I've felt this good."

Liu Erlong brushed a strand of hair that had fallen to the corner of her eye, lowered her head, and slowly swayed her waist as she spoke to Qiu Hougong.

"How about we play a few more rounds, and then go out for dinner?"

Qiu Hougong gripped the two huge armrests with both hands and laughed, inwardly acknowledging and liking Liu Erlong's fighting prowess.

"Yes, I'm very satisfied with your idea. It's approved."

Reaching out, Liu Erlong pressed Qiu Hougong's hand towards her, her fighting spirit surging. She lightly licked her red lips, and then the two began to fight again...

A month later, Qiu Hougong successfully broke through to level 83 through his continuous cultivation and battles, and his combat power was three times stronger than a month ago.

As Qiu Hougong's combat strength improved in all aspects, Hu Liena and her women, who were already struggling to cope, had no choice but to unite and fight Qiu Hougong using a fighting style that was not revealed to outsiders.

Inside the Emperor's bedroom in the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

"Sister Erlong, you take a rest first, I'll play with this brat."

Qian Renxue helped the panting Liu Erlong from behind, rolled her eyes at Qiu Hougong sitting to the side, and said to Liu Erlong.

"Okay, Xue-meimei. Phew... I'm going to take a shower, I'll be back to help you in a bit."

Liu Erlong helped Qian Renxue up by her smooth shoulders and then turned to walk towards the bathtub next to him.

"Hmm... little brat..."

With a slight tremor and a look of enjoyment on her face, Qian Renxue first tossed her golden hair, then looked up slightly at Qiu Hougong, who was standing close to her, and said softly, "The war on the Tiandou Empire's side has been completely resolved. Now all that's missing is a suitable successor. Who do you think would be a good fit for this position?"

"No need to think about it, of course it should be our own family members sitting here."

Qiu Hougong reached out and patted the plump shock-absorbing pad, saying.

"Hmm... but there's no one suitable in our family, and besides, it's not proper for us to be married."

Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow and said.

"If we want to have a legitimate reason, then we have no choice but to let her come."

Qiu Hougong said.

"Xue Ke? If you want her to come, then Xiao Qiu, you'll have to do it yourself."

Qian Renxue smiled.

"Sis, you think I don't know?"

Looking at Qian Renxue's loving face, Qiu Hougong lowered his head and nuzzled her, saying, "You kept her here back then just for this, didn't you?"

"I'm just following your lead. If you don't like it, then I'll get rid of her after I've used her."

Qian Renxue touched Qiu Hougong's face affectionately.

“My dear sister, leave all the affairs of the Heavenly Dou Empire to me. You can go back and prepare for becoming a god.”

Qiu Hougong held Qian Renxue's small hand and then said gently.

Originally, Qiu Hougong had planned to visit the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan with Liu Erlong in the next few days to discuss the change of family head, but now it seems he would have to wait, because Qian Renxue's matter is more important.

"Okay~ I'll do whatever you say."

Qian Renxue spoke softly, and then, under their fervent gazes, the battle between the two escalated to another level...

The next day, noon.

Looking refreshed, Qiu Hougong walked out of the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace and came to the Moon Pavilion alone.

As soon as they entered the first floor, Qiu Hougong's indescribably handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament attracted the attention of many people.

"Young master, who are you looking for?"

A pretty young woman walked slowly to Qiu Hougong, her face slightly flushed.

"I've come looking for Princess Xueke. Is she here?"

Qiu Hougong smiled and looked at the girl, asking her a question.

"Princess Xueke is currently upstairs listening to our Master's lecture. If you wish to see her, please wait a moment."

The girl said, her already flushed face turning even redder because of Qiu Hougong's smile.

"I see, thank you for letting me know, Miss."

Qiu Hougong thanked the girl, then sat down on a chair and waited quietly.

A dozen minutes later, a soft footstep made Qiu Hougong, who was resting with his eyes closed, open his eyes.

"You're here?"

Qiu Hougong raised his head and looked towards the stairs.

A beautiful woman with a full figure, dressed in a silver palace gown, slowly walked down the stairs. Behind her was a young and pretty girl with short hair, whose looks were not as good as Xiao Wu's.

"These are all somewhat challenging goals, how interesting."

"Close your personal panel," Qiu Hougong thought to himself.

At this moment, the girl who had spoken to Qiu Hougong earlier quickly came to Tang Yuehua and Xue Ke's side and told the two girls about Qiu Hougong.

"Who is he? What does he want with me...?"

After hearing the girl's words, Xue Ke, who had already noticed Qiu Hou Gong, thought about it with a puzzled expression, and then bowed to Tang Yuehua in front of her and said, "Aunt Yuehua, someone is looking for me. I need to see."

"Yes, I'll go with you."

Tang Yuehua was also puzzled by Qiu Hougong's appearance, so in order to protect Xue Ke, she planned to take some people with her to see what was going on.

"it is good."

Xue Ke nodded when she saw that Tang Yuehua wanted to come with her, and then they walked together towards Qiu Hougong's direction.

Upon seeing Tang Yuehua and her companion approaching, Qiu Hougong slowly stood up and smiled at Xue Ke, saying, "You must be Princess Xue Ke?"

"I am Xue Ke. May I ask who you are, young master?"

Looking at Qiu Hougong's handsome face, which could make the sea boil, Xue Ke couldn't help but blush and asked him a question.

"My name is Qiu Hougong, a friend of your brother, the Qinghe Emperor..."

As Qiu Hougong spoke, he reached out and took out a token bearing the mark of the Heavenly Dou Empire, showing it to Xue Ke and Tang Yuehua, who was standing silently beside her. "Emperor Qinghe was worried that you would be threatened by the remnants of the Imperial rebel army, so he specifically sent me to protect you."

"Protect?"

Tang Yuehua glanced at Qiu Hougong, and judging from his young age, she slowly said, "I wonder what level you have reached, young master? Could you demonstrate it to me?"

Qiu Hougong looked at Tang Yuehua and wasn't surprised to see that she seemed a little disbelieving. "You are the owner of Yuexuan Pavilion, Tang Yuehua, Madam Tang, right?"

"Exactly."

Tang Yuehua nodded slightly.

"Madam Tang, you don't need to worry. With my strength, protecting Princess Xue Ke's safety within Tian Dou City is no problem at all."

After Qiu Hougong finished speaking, he released his aura.

"A Contra?! He's actually a Contra..."

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Qiu Hougong, Tang Yuehua was shocked and subconsciously released her domain—the Noble Ring—asked, "May I ask how old you are, young master?"

"fourteen……"

As Qiu Hougong spoke, he extended his arm to Tang Yuehua, saying, "If you don't believe me, you can check my bone age."

"No need, no need..."

Sensing the masculine energy and deep sincerity emanating from Qiu Hougong, Tang Yuehua, who had been composed, blushed slightly. "Since Young Master Qiu has such strength, then Yuehua is relieved. Princess Xueke, please go back with Young Master Qiu. Your lessons for today are all finished."

"I understand, Aunt Yuehua..."

Xue Ke bowed to Tang Yuehua, then looked at Qiu Hougong and said softly, "Young Master Qiu, thank you for your trouble."

“Princess, there’s no need for that, Madam Tang. We’ll take our leave now…”

Qiu Hougong smiled and said something to Xue Ke and Tang Yuehua, then led Xue Ke outside.

Seeing that Qiu Hougong and Xue Ke had completely disappeared from sight, Steward Aud, who had been standing silently beside Tang Yuehua, whispered, "Madam, is this person really only fourteen years old?"

"I don't know either, but regardless of whether it is him or not, the world of the Heavenly Dou Empire is about to change completely."

With a premonition in her heart, Tang Yuehua looked up at the clear blue sky outside the window and said something, then turned and walked towards the second floor...

On a main street in Tiandou City.

Walking beside Xue Ke, Qiu Hougong was still thinking about how to win her over as soon as possible, but the appearance of several unfamiliar auras gave Qiu Hougong a solution.

"Princess Xueke, let's go that way, that way we can get to the palace faster."

Qiu Hougong pointed to a relatively narrow and secluded alleyway next to him and said.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Xue Ke was a little surprised to hear Qiu Hou Gong's name. She used to follow large groups of people back to the Tian Dou Imperial Palace from the main street, so she was not familiar with such remote paths.

“That’s right, Princess, come with me.”

As Qiu Hougong spoke, he walked in front of Xue Ke and led the way for her.

A minute later, Qiu Hougong and Xue Ke walked to the center of the alley.

Just then, five men dressed in black bodysuits suddenly darted out and attacked Xue Ke simultaneously.

"Ahhhh!"

Seeing someone attacking her, Xueke, who was experiencing this situation for the first time, quickly screamed and covered her face with her hands.

But just when she thought she was about to be attacked, five sounds of limbs colliding and screams suddenly reached her ears.

"I'm alright?"

Xue Ke carefully removed her hand, and what came into her view were five men in black lying stiffly on the ground, clearly incapacitated.

"Princess, do not be afraid, the danger has passed."

Qiu Hougong turned to Xue Ke and comforted her. These five assassins, who were only at the Soul King level, could be easily dealt with by Qiu Hougong without even needing to activate his armor.

"Thank you for saving me, young master..."

Xue Ke bowed her head and thanked Qiu Hougong, then pointed to the few men in black lying on the ground, seemingly lifeless, and asked, "Are these the Imperial rebels you mentioned earlier?"

"I don't know. Princess, please stay where you are and don't move. I'll go ask them about their origins."

Qiu Hougong gave a gentle instruction, then turned and walked toward the only black-clad man he hadn't killed.

"Tell me your name and your power, and I might spare your life."

Qiu Hougong squatted down next to the man in black lying in the middle of the alley and asked.

"My lord, please don't kill me. I'll tell you everything..."

The man in black said with a look of fear, "My name is Si Riyue Niao, and I am the captain of a Soul Master mercenary squad."

"The Sun and Moon Bird? What a strange name."

Upon hearing the name Zuosi Sun and Moon Bird, Qiu Hougong couldn't help but mentally complain before continuing, "Why did you target Xue Ke? Don't you know she's a princess of the Heavenly Dou Empire?"

"Sir, we really didn't know. If we had known, why would we have come?"

As the Sun and Moon Bird said, he also deeply regretted accepting this task.

"Who hired you?"

Seeing the appearance of Zuo Si, Qiu Hougong knew he wasn't lying and continued to ask.

"A blond man with two different colored eyes approached us and asked us to do it, saying he would give us 100,000 gold soul coins if we succeeded."

"This is what the Sun and Moon Bird said."

"Blonde hair, heterochromia?"

After hearing Zuo Si Riyue Niao's description, Qiu Hougong raised an eyebrow and then asked, "What's his name? Where is he from?"

"I don't know his name; he told us to call him Young Master Si. As for where he's from, judging from his accent, he should be from the Star Luo Empire..."

After saying this, the Sun and Moon Bird continued to beg for mercy, saying, "My lord, I have told you everything I know, please spare me."

"Your Highness, please turn around and close your eyes."

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information, Qiu Hougong first turned to Xue Ke with a smile and said something, then stood up and suddenly stomped on the neck of the Sun and Moon Bird, breaking it.

"You really live up to your name, Zuo Si Zuo Si."

Qiu Hougong thought to himself, then turned around and walked out of the alley with Xue Ke.
