Douluo Dalu: Every Breath Steals Tang San's Women

Chapter 68: Xue Qinghe’s Arrangements

Heaven Dou City!

Crown Prince’s Residence!

Inside a simply decorated study!

Two middle-aged men in golden armor, one fat and one thin, were recounting what they had seen and heard today with expressions of disbelief.

"Reporting to Young Lord, the movements of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School that you asked us to monitor have yielded results today."

"Today, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School went north of Jialing Pass to intercept and kill Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Lan Chen."

"The situation exceeded our expectations. Lan Chen possesses a Domain ability that can suppress a Titled Douluo; he could even manipulate plant vines and entangle Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong for a period of time."

"Furthermore, in the battle between Dugu Bo and Chen Xin, with Lan Chen’s assistance, Dugu Bo defeated Chen Xin—who was being supported by Ning Fengzhi—head-on."

"For the publicly recognized weakest Titled Douluo to defeat the Sword Douluo, known for having the highest attack power on the continent, head-on... Lan Chen’s support ability far exceeds that of Ning Fengzhi. His value is simply immeasurable."

Clearly, these two golden-armored middle-aged men were the two Titled Douluo that Lu Chen had sensed through his Blue Silver Domain.

They were Snake Lance Douluo, She Long, and Porcupinefish Douluo, Ci Xue.

They reported directly to the Young Lord of Spirit Hall, or rather, to the identity she was disguised as: the Heaven Dou Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe.

Standing behind the desk with his hands behind his back, facing away from them, was Xue Qinghe, dressed in white casual attire.

After hearing the account from Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo, a strange brilliance bloomed in her eyes.

Possessing a Domain, suppressing a Titled Douluo, and having terrifyingly strong support abilities that even surpassed the continent’s recognized number one Support Soul Master, Ning Fengzhi.

In Xue Qinghe’s eyes, Lan Chen was now equivalent to Guan Yu, who had successfully proven his value by slaying Hua Xiong while the wine was still warm.

How much Cao Cao loved Guan Yu back then is how much Xue Qinghe loved Lan Chen now.

Xue Qinghe’s desire to recruit Lan Chen reached its peak at this moment.

Xue Qinghe suddenly turned around, eyes shining, and exclaimed: "Lan Chen, he truly did not disappoint me. Not only does he Cultivate quickly, but his Spirit Ability is also terrifyingly strong. If I can recruit him, he will surely help me achieve my great cause!"

Xue Qinghe could already imagine it: she would be responsible for combat, and Lan Chen would be responsible for support. Relying on her Angelic Domain and Lan Chen’s support and Domain abilities, they could fight anyone.

Even when they both became Titled Douluo, they would be enough to sweep away all enemies on the Douluo Continent, including her mother, that Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall: Bibi Dong!

Xue Qinghe frowned, pacing back and forth. After a while, she spoke with a solemn tone: "Now that Lan Chen has obtained the protection of Dugu Bo, and with his support, Dugu Bo can even defeat Chen Xin head-on."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can no longer pose a life-threatening danger to him. I cannot bestow favors upon Lan Chen, so there is no way for me to recruit him."

"The current strategy is to understand his past. Starting from Lan Chen’s past is the only way to successfully win him over."

Xue Qinghe made a decision and immediately looked at Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo, ordering: "Elder Snake Lance, return to Spirit Hall and check the archives. Find information regarding Lan Chen’s Spirit and Domain."

"The name Lan Chen is fake, and his appearance is fake, but his Spirit and his Domain cannot be fake."

"The archives of Spirit Hall contain everything, with information on all Spirits and Domains that have appeared on the Douluo Continent over the past tens of thousands of years."

"As long as we search carefully, we will find clues. That way, we can deduce Lan Chen’s true identity and background. Once we master his past, we will surely find a way to recruit him."

Speaking to the end, Xue Qinghe looked very serious: "Elder Snake Lance, if necessary, you can seek out my grandfather and ask him to provide help. Just say it is my intent."

"Also, everything I have ordered you must absolutely not be known by that woman. Do you understand!"

Snake Lance Douluo stood tall, cupped his hands, and performed a salute: "Rest assured, Young Lord. This subordinate understands."

"I have already memorized Lan Chen’s Spirit. It gives me a feeling of familiarity, as if it involves some past events from over a decade ago."

"After I return to Spirit Hall and investigate the sequence of events, I will come to Heaven Dou City to report to the Young Lord."

The voice faded, and Snake Lance Douluo turned and left. With just a flash, he had disappeared from the Crown Prince’s Residence.

Familiarity... some past events from over a decade ago...

Xue Qinghe wore a solemn expression. Hearing Snake Lance Douluo say this, she had a premonition that there was a massive secret involved.

But no matter what the secret was, it could not affect her determination to recruit Lan Chen.

Subsequently, Xue Qinghe looked at Porcupinefish Douluo: "Elder Porcupinefish, go and continue to monitor the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong failed to intercept Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Lan Chen. The two sides have already formed a grudge and will definitely not let it go easily."

"There will certainly be follow-up developments. I need to know what they will do next in order to better control the current situation."

Hearing this, Porcupinefish Douluo stood straight, also cupped his hands, and performed a salute: "Young Lord, please remain calm. This subordinate will go and investigate now."

After speaking, Porcupinefish Douluo also turned and left. Walking out of the study, his figure flickered, and he soared into the sky, silently leaving the Crown Prince’s Residence.

After Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo left, only Xue Qinghe remained in the study.

Although her expression was calm, her heart was not. A sense of urgency had arisen.

Xue Qinghe, who was actually Qian Renxue, awakened her Angelic Spirit at the age of six, possessed Innate Full Spirit Power, and 10 levels of God-bestowed spirit power—meaning she possessed Innate 20-level spirit power.

Innate 20-level spirit power; she became a Spirit Grandmaster at the age of six. This allowed Qian Renxue to start ahead of other Spirit Masters.

Now, thirteen years later, Qian Renxue was nineteen years old, and her strength had already reached the Spirit King Realm.

A nineteen-year-old Spirit King already surpassed 99% of the Spirit Masters on the Douluo Continent. Although Qian Renxue did not feel overly proud, having such a Realm at such an age still made her quite satisfied.

But compared to Lan Chen, Qian Renxue felt very dissatisfied with her own Cultivation progress.

In Qian Renxue’s view, Lan Chen was at most Innate Full Spirit Power. Even so, he had become a seven-ring Spirit Saint at around thirty years old.

And at Qian Renxue’s current cultivation speed, by the time she was around thirty, she would at most be a seven-ring Spirit Saint.

Comparing them like this, Qian Renxue felt a strong sense of urgency.

Qian Renxue thought to herself: ’My years of undercover life have greatly slowed down my Cultivation progress. With my Innate 20-level spirit power talent, my Realm should never have stopped at Spirit King.’

’The appearance of Lan Chen has served as a reminder to me. He is a Support Soul Master and can have such astonishing Cultivation speed. I should also focus on Cultivation for a period of time, otherwise, would I not be wasting this Innate 20-level spirit power talent?’
