Holy Soul Mountain, the highest peak in Martial Soul City, soars into the clouds. Its summit is shrouded in mist. The three sacred temples of Martial Soul City stand atop this mountain.
At the summit of the mountain, besides the Pope's Hall, Elder's Hall, and Douluo Hall of the Spirit Hall, there are also residences for members of the Thousand Families, as well as those who have made outstanding contributions to the Spirit Hall. Among them, naturally, is the former Pope of the Spirit Hall—Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong rose from saintess to pope and became an elite elder of the Spirit Hall. Her residence was located next to a cliff facing a waterfall.
Martial Soul City has no imperial palace.
All the buildings on Mount Shenghun constitute the imperial palace.
Apart from the Spirit Hall Guardian Knights belonging to the Qian family—similar to the imperial guards of the palace—no one else is allowed to enter this place.
Let alone ordinary people, even powerful figures from other countries and cardinals of the Spirit Hall.
To become a cardinal of the Spirit Hall, one must meet a crucial requirement: one's spirit power level must reach level 70, and one must possess seven spirit rings.
Not to mention ordinary people and common folk, even cardinals of noble status cannot freely enter or leave Martial Soul Mountain.
In other words, ordinary people can't even get in here.
If someone wanted to enter Holy Soul Mountain to assassinate someone, it could be described as "courting death," "being impatient with life," "acting recklessly," or even "dreaming."
Of course, Mount Holy Soul is like the imperial palace of an empire. No one would be foolish enough to enter this place with malicious intent.
The courtyard was quiet. There was no sign of cooking fires. A woman stood beside the cliff, gazing at the waterfall in front of her.
The woman wore a gold-trimmed, purple-trimmed, tight-fitting brocade robe. Her long, black hair was styled into a phoenix-like upturned shape, subtly revealing an undeniable nobility. Her face was serene and beautiful, like a clear spring in a secluded mountain, inspiring both awe and a touch of romantic longing in those who admired her noble status.
A maid walked up behind her, looking anxious.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Tuoba Yan and Miss had a fight. Tuoba Yan has kidnapped Miss. I heard that Miss has been taken to a secret room by Tuoba Yan!"
A locked room!
The two words, glaringly obvious, struck Bibi Dong's heart like thunder. Memories of the past, long buried, surged forth like a rising tide.
The Tuoba family.
The Tuoba family is no ordinary family these days.
Since the emergence of Tuoba Yan, the family's status has risen dramatically. First, a Title Douluo emerged, entering the power center of the Spirit Hall; then, under Tuoba Yan's leadership, they destroyed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sec, subdued the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Blacksmith Association, and stood on equal footing with the Qian family; then, with Tuoba Yan's return from Seagod Island, controlling thirty slots for training on Seagod Island, the Tuoba family's status surpassed that of the Qian family.
Some time ago, Tuoba Yan proposed changing the rules of Douluo Continent, and his decision received the support of most people. Although the Tuoba family suffered some losses, they enjoyed immense prestige in the Soul Master world. Even ordinary people showed genuine respect to members of the Tuoba family.
Inside Tuoba Yan's room, Tuoba Yan and Qian Renxue kept the door closed.
She wore a long, golden palace dress, a one-piece garment seemingly woven from gold thread, without excessive embellishment, its style simple yet elegant. A golden stand-up collar protected her long, slender, white neck, and her long, golden hair was casually draped down her back, uncombed. This contrasted sharply with her impeccably tailored palace attire.
If one had to describe Qian Renxue's beauty, the words "elf race" and "God's favorite" would be most fitting.
Qian Renxue shook her head slightly, "Just closing the door isn't enough."
"How so?" Tuoba Yan asked.
"She's very clever. She can easily see through our flaws. If we're going to put on an act, we have to make it convincing."
"Realistic? What kind of realism are you looking for?"
"Only…" Qian Renxue's gaze swept towards the bed in the room.
Tuoba Yan was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood, and said with a mischievous smile, "Are you sure?"
"It's all just an act, cousin. Don't get the wrong idea." Qian Renxue blushed slightly, trying to remind Tuoba Yan.
"Yes, I won't misunderstand. As long as you have no objections, why should I?" Tuoba Yan replied to Qian Renxue without hesitation.
Such a good thing is even harder to achieve than winning the lottery.
If Tuoba Yan refuses, then Tuoba Yan must be crooked.
Qian Renxue crawled into her nest, her face flushed.
During her time as a spy in the Heaven Dou Empire, she had married a Crown Princess. However, being a woman, she never favored her. From then on, Emperor Xue Ye simply considered her "Xue Qinghe" and showed no interest in women. Despite his several attempts, including drugging his Crown Prince, nothing worked.
Instead, Xue Qinghe turned the tables, and from then on, every time he favored the Crown Prince's residence, he would make the Crown Princess faint. Several years passed without any offspring, and His Majesty Xue Ye lost much enthusiasm for procreation.
Qian Renxue reached into the quilt and took out a piece of cloth.
"ah?"
Tuoba Yan was speechless.
Qian Renxue continued to remind Tuoba Yan, saying, "Don't get the wrong idea. I said, if we're going to put on an act, we have to go all the way."
Tuoba Yan nodded and said with a grin, "Understood!"
As he spoke, Tuoba Yan also reached into the quilt. When he took it out again, he was holding a piece of cloth in his hand.
The two had a great understanding of each other.
One by one, they were thrown to the foot of the bed.
The atmosphere in the room began to become subtle.
Tuoba Yan remained motionless.
Qian Renxue remained motionless.
"Cousin, are you sure she'll find out?"
"Confirmed," Tuoba Yan said.
Bibi Dong's maid was turned by the Tuoba family half a year ago. However, she also made a condition: Bibi Dong had done her a favor, and apart from not harming Bibi Dong, she could act as Tuoba Yan's spy for the people's welfare.
They've been turned, yet it seems they haven't.
The message I sent through the maid today will not harm Bibi Dong. In fact, it aligns with Bibi Dong's expectations.
Tuoba Yan was certain that the maid would tell Bibi Dong about his desire for Qian Renxue in the secret chamber.
"Then, let's wait for her." Qian Renxue reached out her hand, not daring to look into Tuoba Yan's eyes, and put her arm around Tuoba Yan's arm.
Tuoba Yan's smile grew even brighter.
Qian Renxue whispered a reminder: "Don't get the wrong idea..."
A pair of sparkling eyes betrayed Qian Renxue's inner thoughts.
Tuoba Yan immediately chimed in, interrupting Qian Renxue, "I know, when you're putting on an act, you have to go all the way!"
He's been through it all.
He felt like he had been tricked today.
The atmosphere had reached this point; if Tuoba Yan remained unmoved, he wouldn't be Tuoba Yan.
As he spoke, Tuoba Yan turned over.
...
"Um!"
