Douluo Continent: Starting with a Self-Created Soul Ring 117

Chapter 117: Master is a Big Lecher

After taking Yu Xiaogan under his wing, Qian Xunji quickly spread the news. Before long, the entire continent knew that Yu Xiaogan had sought out the Martial Soul Temple and had voluntarily joined.

“The young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect actually joined the Martial Soul Temple!”

“Haha, I wonder how red the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect’s face is now?”

“The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect probably never imagined that the young master who was expelled from the sect would actually take the initiative to join the Martial Soul Temple, right?”

“Definitely didn’t expect it! Who would have thought?”

“Exactly! No matter what, he was the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect. He didn’t care about his identity at all when he chose to join the Martial Soul Temple. He completely disregarded the sect!”

“Yeah, by doing this, he completely severed his ties with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect. He can forget about ever returning to the sect in his life!”

“So foolish! He should have found a way to return to the sect. After all, he was the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect…”

“I think he never intended to go back. He probably hates the sect to the core, and joining the Martial Soul Temple is just to make the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect a laughingstock!”

“Whoa… I don’t think so.”

“After all, he was once the young master…”

“Yeah, even if he was expelled from the sect, it was because of his own problems!”

“The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect didn’t mistreat him; Yu Yuanzhen poured a massive amount of resources into him!”

“Right, it’s only thanks to Yu Yuanzhen. Elsewhere, with that kid’s talent, he wouldn’t have a chance to get those resources…”

“So it’s his own fault for being incompetent and ungrateful. Not only that, but he’s trying to get revenge on the sect right after leaving… this…”

“…”

For a time, Yu Xiaogan and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect once again became the focus of discussions in the Soul Master world. Initially, it was Yu Xiaogan who was ridiculed, but now the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect had joined the ranks of the ridiculed.

These voices quickly reached the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect. The disciples who had previously mocked Yu Xiaogan were extremely angry when they learned that he had immediately joined the Martial Soul Temple.

It was bad enough that they lost face, but now it was dragging down the entire sect! They also felt extreme contempt for Yu Xiaogan’s act of betrayal.

Even if the Sect Master expelled you, you can’t stab your own sect in the back like that! The Sect Master is your father!

“He joined the Martial Soul Temple so quickly?” Yu Yuanzhen was slightly taken aback when he heard the news, his expression somewhat inexplicable.

Although he expelled Yu Xiaogan from the sect to help him, allowing him to join the Martial Soul Temple without any worries, the fact that Yu Xiaogan joined the Martial Soul Temple so immediately after leaving still made him feel a little heartbroken.

He really didn’t consider his father’s or the sect’s reputation at all!

“So he joined the Martial Soul Temple after all!” Gu Ziyue, who had arrived at the Tian Dou Sacred Palace, also learned immediately about Yu Xiaogan joining the Martial Soul Temple.

However, Gu Ziyue merely let out a faint, cold laugh and didn’t pay much attention to it afterward. He had already instructed Li Chanfei at Bi Bi Dong’s side.

If anything happened at Bi Bi Dong’s side, Li Chanfei would notify him immediately.

Although he knew that after transforming Bi Bi Dong from a girl to a woman, she definitely wouldn’t fall for Yu Xiaogan again, Gu Ziyue still had Li Chanfei keep an eye on things. He believed it, but couldn’t let his guard down.

He wasn’t worried about Yu Xiaogan changing his affections; he was worried about what Yu Xiaogan might do. In his judgment, Yu Xiaogan approached Bi Bi Dong with ulterior motives after joining the Martial Soul Temple.

Open attacks are easy to avoid, but hidden arrows are hard to guard against. Gu Ziyue worried that Yu Xiaogan might use some underhanded methods to approach Bi Bi Dong. If it were an open and above-board approach, Gu Ziyue wouldn’t be worried.

After setting aside Yu Xiaogan’s matter, Gu Ziyue continued to review the several files in front of him. These files contained information about several sects and forces in the Tian Dou Imperial Capital.

After Gu Ziyue suggested to Qian Xunji that they could win over some sects, he was sent out on this mission to personally prove the feasibility of the plan.

“There’s no need to consider the Qi Bao Liu Li Sect; it’s far too difficult. Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo are both in their prime. With them around, the Qi Bao Liu Li Sect is a top-tier sect and definitely won’t consider siding with the Martial Soul Temple!”

“Unless Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo are gone one day, it might be possible!”

“Or until the emergence of other auxiliary Martial Souls that truly threaten the Qi Bao Liu Li Pagoda’s position as the number one auxiliary Martial Soul, then there might be a chance to win over the Qi Bao Liu Li Sect.”

“Of course, there’s another possibility: when the Martial Soul Temple becomes overwhelmingly powerful and unstoppable, Ning Fengzhi, in his shrewdness, might very well choose to side with the Martial Soul Temple.”

Gu Ziyue first ruled out the Qi Bao Liu Li Sect. It was too difficult.

“No… actually, there is room for manipulation. Just take out the绮罗郁金香 (Qiluo Yujinxiang – a mythical herb) that can help the Qi Bao Liu Li Pagoda evolve into the Nine Treasures Glazed Glass Pagoda!”

“Knowing that Tang Yuehua’s Martial Soul, the Wish-Fulfilling Ring, will threaten their position as the number one auxiliary Martial Soul in the future, bringing out the Qiluo Yujinxiang has a high chance of success!”

“The problem is how I know that Qiluo Yujinxiang can evolve the Qi Bao Liu Li Pagoda. Even Chrysanthemum Douluo doesn’t know this, let alone me.”

“And even if I take it out, it’s not guaranteed to succeed, so let’s put it aside for now!”

Gu Ziyue shook his head and continued to review the information on other sects.

“The Elephant Armored Sect, the Sparrowhawk Sect…”

Then, Gu Ziyue saw the Elephant Armored Sect and the Sparrowhawk Sect among the various sects. These two sects were relatively close to the Tian Dou Imperial Capital, and were two sects Gu Ziyue was familiar with.

After the re-election of the Seven Great Sects in the original story, one became the head of the Upper Three Sects, and the other became one of the Lower Four Sects.

Right now, the Elephant Armored Sect was only one of the Lower Four Sects, and the Sparrowhawk Sect was not among the Seven Great Sects. However, it was still a relatively powerful force.

“Let’s go with the Elephant Armored Sect!” Gu Ziyue quickly made a decision.

If Gu Ziyue had to choose, he would choose the simplest one that was also representative. The Elephant Armored Sect, as one of the Lower Four Sects, was certainly representative enough.

As for whether it was simple, Gu Ziyue was basing his judgment on the original story. He wasn’t sure if it would truly be easy to subdue the Elephant Armored Sect. However, judging from the Elephant Armored Sect’s performance in the original story, it should be feasible to conquer them.

“Your Holiness, a woman is looking for you!” Just as Gu Ziyue made his decision, a tall, thin old man walked in.

The man looked quite old, about fifty or sixty years old. This was Salas, the Gold Bishop who took over the management of the Tian Dou Sacred Palace after Li Chanfei left, an 85th-level Soul Douluo.

Decades later, he would still be the Gold Bishop of the Tian Dou Sacred Palace, his Soul Power level seemingly only reaching 87. He had some strength, but had no more potential and would never break through to Title Douluo in his life, completely incomparable to Li Chanfei and She Long.

It was apparent from his appearance; She Long and Li Chanfei were not young either, but they still looked young. This Salas looked quite old and already had white hair.

“Someone is looking for me?”

“Do you know who it is?”

Gu Ziyue was somewhat surprised. He hadn’t expected anyone to come looking for him. He had only been at the Tian Dou Sacred Palace for a short time, hadn’t he?

“Your Holiness should have an impression of her. If I’m not mistaken, Your Holiness kissed her at the Soul Master Tournament!” Salas said with a smirk.

Although he hadn’t witnessed it firsthand, he had heard about Gu Ziyue’s romantic escapades during the Soul Master Tournament. So he always thought that His Holiness and he were kindred spirits.

“Ning Shuangjiang?” As soon as Salas spoke, Gu Ziyue knew who it was.

“That’s right, it’s her. I knew Your Holiness would remember her!” Salas replied with a smile.

“Tell her I’m not here, and let her leave.” Gu Ziyue didn’t intend to see her. That woman would surely demand him to take responsibility for her again.

Gu Ziyue was willing, but he had just won over Bi Bi Dong. If he went around flirting with other women immediately after leaving the Martial Soul Temple, Bi Bi Dong would definitely be angry.

In this world, it was normal for powerful men to have multiple women, but powerful women generally didn’t want their men to have too many women; they preferred to be the only one. The stronger the woman, the more so, let alone Bi Bi Dong.

Gu Ziyue was confident in getting Bi Bi Dong to accept his other women, but it had to be gradual. Just being surrounded by beauties immediately after being assigned to a new post wouldn’t do.

“Your Holiness, although she’s Ning Fengzhi’s cousin, she’s not a core disciple of the Qi Bao Liu Li Sect, so Your Holiness doesn’t need to worry about anything!” Salas, thinking Gu Ziyue was worried about Ning Shuangjiang’s status, quickly spoke.

“I know, I just don’t want to see her right now!” Gu Ziyue said with a smile.

He was still quite interested in Ning Shuangjiang. He didn’t have the time to actively pursue her. But if she came to him on her own, Gu Ziyue wouldn’t let her go. After all, that woman was Ning Rongrong’s mother!

“I understand. Then I’ll tell her that Your Holiness is in seclusion and ask her to come back later!” Salas raised an eyebrow at Gu Ziyue and smiled obsequiously.

“Mn, that’s good. Thank you, Bishop Salas!” Gu Ziyue smiled and agreed to Salas’s suggestion.

“Not at all, not at all!” Salas chuckled and then left.

Watching Salas’s back, Gu Ziyue shook his head with a smile. He didn’t dislike Salas, who was somewhat lecherous.

Gu Ziyue had already found out that while Salas was lecherous, he had never forced himself on any woman.

【Master, you really do have your eye on that Ning Shuangjiang, huh?】 Xiaotao’s voice rang out in Gu Ziyue’s mind.

【Just tell me, is Ning Shuangjiang pretty or not?】 Gu Ziyue smiled.

【Humph～Master is such a heartbreaker. You just got Bi Bi Dong, and you’re already thinking about other women!】 Xiaotao snorted. Although she didn’t want to admit it, she couldn’t deny that Ning Shuangjiang was beautiful.

【Yeah, I’ve always had my eye on my Xiaotao too!】

【Xiaotao, work hard on your cultivation. When you can maintain your human form for longer, Master will let you experience the joy of being a woman!】 Gu Ziyue laughed heartily and teased Xiaotao.

【Humph, I’m not giving myself to you, you big lecherous Master! I’m not talking to you anymore!】 Upon hearing Gu Ziyue’s words, Xiaotao immediately blushed and fell silent, no longer communicating telepathically with Gu Ziyue.

Thump thump thump～

Xiaotao, whose consciousness had fully returned to the Peachwood Soul Bone sword, seemed to hear her own heart beating rapidly. She was both shy and expectant.

Although she said she didn’t want to, after witnessing Gu Ziyue and Li Chanfei’s “live broadcasts” so many times, it was impossible for her to say she didn’t want to. She just wasn’t willing to admit it.

She had mastered the ability to transform half a year ago. As a sword spirit, she had her own thoughts. Although she could see everything outside while residing in the Peachwood Soul Bone sword, the fact that she couldn’t move was incredibly painful.

Therefore, Xiaotao had always been trying to control herself. Initially, she hadn’t thought about transforming; she just wanted to be able to control the Peachwood Soul Bone sword to move, instead of just activating its Soul Skills.

Unexpectedly, while she was experimenting, one day she discovered that she had mastered the ability to transform. At first, she was very excited and thought she had been resurrected!

But soon she realized that she hadn’t been resurrected, she had only mastered the ability to transform, and the duration was very short, only a few minutes.

After Gu Ziyue learned that she could transform, he asked her to cultivate diligently to extend the duration of her transformation.

Before, she could sense that Gu Ziyue seemed to have some ulterior motives, but she hadn’t expected that Gu Ziyue’s ulterior motives were this.

Stinky Master, bad Master! Master is a big lecher!

…

“This bastard, he just took up his post and went into seclusion!” After learning that Gu Ziyue was in seclusion, Ning Shuangjiang had no choice but to leave.

After her attempt to get Gu Ziyue to take responsibility two years ago failed, she hadn’t had a chance to see him since. She had originally planned to stay in Martial Soul City.

However, after she told Ning Fengzhi, he strongly opposed it, so she had to leave with Ning Fengzhi. She had intended to listen to Ning Fengzhi and forget about Gu Ziyue.

Because Ning Fengzhi strongly opposed it, and Gu Ziyue didn’t seem to want to take responsibility for her, she was willing to listen to Ning Fengzhi.

Over the past two years, Ning Shuangjiang had also broken through to Soul King. She thought she had forgotten Gu Ziyue. But when she heard that Gu Ziyue had come to Tian Dou Imperial Capital, she couldn’t help but seek him out.
