Tang Qing's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
Tang Chen gave him a deep look, said nothing more, turned around, picked up Tang Hao who was like a lump of mud, took a step, and his figure disappeared at the end of the valley.
With their departure, the battlefield, which had just witnessed the descent of the gods, finally returned to complete peace.
"Owner."
Two fragrant breezes wafted in at the same time.
Zhu Zhuqing and Xue Qinghe approached Tang Qing from either side, their beautiful eyes filled with concern.
Zhu Zhuqing wore a black, tight-fitting leather outfit that perfectly accentuated her stunning curves.
Especially her pair of straight and slender legs, which gleamed with a healthy glow in the afterglow of the setting sun, exuding an explosive beauty.
On the other side, Xue Qinghe was dressed in a magnificent prince's everyday robe, with a slit at the hem of his golden robe.
As she walks, one can also catch a glimpse of her perfect legs encased in white silk trousers, exuding nobility and elegance, and inspiring the imagination.
"Are you... alright?"
Xue Qinghe spoke first, her voice carrying a hint of nervousness that she herself was unaware of.
Tang Qing shook his head, his expression remaining calm.
"It's alright."
He raised his hand and gently stroked Xue Qinghe's handsome face, the touch of his fingertips as delicate as the finest silk.
"Your Highness seems to care about me more than usual today."
Xue Qinghe's body stiffened slightly, a suspicious blush rising at the base of her ears, but she forced herself to remain calm and said:
"You are the king of my Heavenly Dou Empire, so of course I care."
Tang Qing smiled, withdrew his hand, and looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing to the side with eyes full of admiration, and pulled her into his arms.
The girl's body was soft and warm, with a faint fragrance.
"I'm sorry to have worried you."
Zhu Zhuqing buried her head in his chest and shook him vigorously.
"Master is the strongest."
Tang Qing patted her on the back and then gave the order.
"Pass down the order to clear out the Tang Clan's territory and confiscate everything usable."
"The army will camp here for another night."
"yes!"
The guards obeyed and left, while the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner.
...
Night falls outside Tiandou City, at the imperial palace.
In a pool of steaming hot spring, Tang Qing closed her eyes and leaned against the edge of the pool, enjoying this rare tranquility.
Even he felt a bit tired after the series of battles.
A pair of soft, boneless hands were gently kneading his shoulders, the pressure just right, relieving the soreness deep in his muscles.
It is Zhu Zhuqing.
She knelt behind Tang Qing, wearing only a thin bath towel. Her wet black hair clung to her snow-white shoulders, making her skin appear even more translucent and smooth.
From Tang Qing's perspective, one could just see her two rounded and firm legs extending from the hem of her bath towel, looking particularly alluring in the steam.
The girl leaned down and gently kissed Tang Qing's cheek with her warm lips. Then, like a satisfied kitten, she rested her head on his back and wrapped her arms around his neck from behind.
"Master, you've worked hard."
Tang Qing opened his eyes, grasped her hands that were wrapped around him, and felt a sense of calm.
He began to take stock of what he had gained from the battle and his plans for the future.
This time, he severely injured Tang Hao, severing one of his arms. He also removed one of Tang San's leg bones, and successfully obtained his mother Ah Yin's physical body.
It can be described as a great victory.
However, the problem still exists.
Ah Yin's soul is still sleeping in the Blue Silver Grass. To truly revive her, a soul bone alone is not enough; Tang Hao's ninth soul ring—the 100,000-year soul ring that belonged to Ah Yin—must also be stripped of it.
To achieve this, Tang Chen, a huge obstacle, must first be overcome.
Today's battle has proven that, without using divine power, I am no match for that peerless Douluo who has one foot in godhood.
We must improve our strength as soon as possible.
The words of the Goddess of Life echoed in my ears—as soon as possible, reach level ninety-nine and begin the sixth trial of the God of Life's test.
The resources required to advance from level 90 to level 99 are enormous, far beyond what a single sect or school can provide. It would require the resources of an entire nation, or even the entire continent.
A thoughtful glint flashed in Tang Qing's eyes.
"It seems that the pace of unifying the continent needs to be accelerated."
"The Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire... which one should we attack first?"
Just as Tang Qing was deep in thought, a clear voice with a hint of languor came from the entrance of the hot spring.
"Why didn't you call me while you were taking a bath?"
It is Xue Qinghe.
He had changed out of his princely robes and was now wearing only a loose white bathrobe, the open collar revealing his well-defined chest, as he slowly walked over.
Tang Qing didn't turn his head and said calmly:
"Don't you dislike taking baths with men?"
"I remember last time, Your Highness was so hesitant and timid, like a woman. Why are you being so proactive today?"
His words were pointed, but in his heart he was secretly wondering what Qian Renxue was up to now.
Xue Qinghe paused, a blush instantly spreading across his handsome face, and even his voice sounded somewhat unnatural.
"Last time... last time I was just not used to it!"
He was making excuses, but he had already walked to the edge of the pool, untied his bathrobe, revealing a perfect body that would make countless women envious, and slowly sat down in the water.
Warm spring water washed over his waist. Xue Qinghe leaned against Tang Qing not far away, turned his head, and stared at him intently through the misty water vapor.
"I just want to... spend more time with you."
In Xue Qinghe's golden eyes, there were complex emotions, as if there were a thousand words to say, but in the end, they only turned into a silent gaze.
Tang Qing ignored him and slowly closed her eyes, letting the warmth behind her intertwine with the heat beside her.
...
The next day, Blue Silver City.
This city, named after the Blue Silver King Tang Qing, is now one of the most prosperous main cities in the Heaven Dou Empire. Its scale and power even show signs of surpassing Heaven Dou City.
The Blue Silver Palace in the city center is even more heavily guarded and magnificent.
A ray of morning light shone through the window and onto the large bed.
Tang Qing slowly opened her eyes, her gaze clear and bright, without the slightest trace of the drowsiness of just waking up.
A faint jasmine fragrance lingered around my nose, refreshing and delightful.
Beside him, a soft, delicate body was curled up quietly, its sleeping face serene.
She was an extremely beautiful young woman with her signature long purple hair styled into two pretty ponytails, which were now scattered messily on the brocade quilt, adding to her languid charm.
It is white agarwood.
She is the granddaughter of Bai He, the patriarch of the Min clan, and now she is also his woman.
She seemed to sense Tang Qing's movement; her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Owner..."
Her voice was slightly hoarse from just waking up, soft and charming.
