"Your Majesty, our army can allocate two Soul Douluo Level Powerhouses,"
the one who spoke next was a soldier clad in battle armor.
He had an imposing demeanor, and his presence alone commanded respect; an aura of cold harshness surrounded him, as if he had climbed out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
He was the Fleet Admiral of the Xingluo Empire, the one who held the military power of the empire.
"Your Majesty, our family can dispatch three Soul Sages..."
"Your Majesty..."
No sooner had one person spoken than others quickly chimed in.
The Star Luo Emperor said with gratification, "All of you are my loyal ministers and mighty pillars."
"It is our honor to relieve Your Majesty of your worries."
"Not to mention a single Titled Douluo-level Expert, even if Your Majesty wishes to go to war with the Martial Soul Hall, we will give our full support."
"..."
Some people said eagerly.
The Star Luo Emperor said, "Very well, then please go and prepare. In one week, all powerhouses are to gather in front of the palace and depart together to eliminate the formidable foe."
...
Meanwhile.
At Blue Tyrant Academy.
Qin Xiao felt that these past few days had been a rare period of relaxation.
Qian Renxue, Ning Fengzhi, Qiandaoliu, Du Gu Bo, and so on...
All these people who were connected to Qin Xiao seemed to have disappeared without a trace; not a single one had come looking for him.
Of course.
He was happy to be at leisure.
These days, he spent his time visiting the scenery of Tiandou City by day, and at night, he was also enjoying his time with Zhu Zhuqing, simply having the time of his life...
"Eh?"
"There seems to be some movement in Yiran's room?"
Suddenly, Qin Xiao sensed a soul power fluctuation and walked out through the door.
Creak.
As luck would have it, Meng Yiran also opened her door and stepped out, her face brimming with joy.
Qin Xiao sized up the young girl and said, "You've made a breakthrough."
"Mhm, mhm."
Meng Yiran nodded vigorously, "Although I faced some dangers this time, even walked on the brink of death, I gained quite a few insights, and my Cultivation Level has increased to level 36."
"That's very good."
Qin Xiao nodded. He had seen the effort Meng Yiran had put in.
Especially her performance in Slaughter City, which had been particularly noteworthy.
Qin Xiao said, "By the way, I have a gift for you."
"A gift?"
Meng Yiran was taken aback.
At that moment, Qin Xiao already had in his hand an impressively large chrysanthemum.
The chrysanthemum was a magnificent purple, and what was peculiar was that each of its furry petals was extraordinarily cute. The whole flower was unified in appearance yet exuded no scent.
The center of the flower, the pistil, stood half a foot taller than the petals, its tip shimmering with a faint golden luster.
"Wow, such a beautiful flower,"
Meng Yiran's eyes lit up with surprise as she joyfully took the flower in her hands. "Your Highness, thank you. I will definitely take good care of this flower."
Care for it?
Qin Xiao couldn't help but laugh; this was an Immortal Herb, the mystic heaven chrysanthemum!
"Yiran, you've misunderstood. This flower is called mystic heaven chrysanthemum, and I didn't give it to you for its beauty,"
"Then what is it for?"
Meng Yiran asked with a puzzled look.
Qin Xiao simply smiled and replied with one word, "Eat."
"Eat?"
Meng Yiran was stunned for a moment; Qin Xiao's answer was unexpected.
But she would not refuse any request from Qin Xiao.
To eat a flower was merely a task from His Highness.
She nodded firmly, "As long as Your Highness wishes it, Yiran will eat."
"Hahaha."
Seeing this, Qin Xiao couldn't help laughing, "I am not trying to tease you. This flower, also known as Immortal Herbs, will bring you unimaginable benefits once eaten."
"What!"
Meng Yiran's eyes widened in astonishment.
Qin Xiao, seeing her reaction, said, "Don't make such a fuss. Go to your room and take it now, and you'll be thanking me later."
"Yes."
Meng Yiran agreed and turned back into her room.
...
A few moments later.
Meng Yiran had completely consumed the mystic heaven chrysanthemum and was now sitting cross-legged on her bed, her eyes tightly closed, finely attuning herself to the strangeness the mystic heaven chrysanthemum brought.
Gradually, a breeze started to stir around her, created by the flow of her soul power.
Her hair drifted gently.
Then, the soul power fluctuation gradually strengthened, and a howling gale had started to sweep through the room.
It was at this moment that Meng Yiran's soul power began to break through.
Level 37, level 38, level 39, level 40...
The speed of this breakthrough was truly unstoppable.
However, even though Meng Yiran did not gain her fourth soul ring, her soul power continued to rise, but she had no idea what realm she had reached.
"So, His Highness did not deceive me, Immortal Herbs really can be eaten, and after eating them, the speed of strength enhancement is simply... astonishing!"
Meng Yiran felt at a loss for words.
Apart from shock, she really did not know what else to say.
"Wait, not only did my cultivation level improve, but my body also seems much stronger than before."
Meng Yiran suddenly discovered, beneath her skin, there was a faint glow circulating, her strength had more than doubled compared to before.
"It appears that there are many more benefits from the mystic heaven chrysanthemum to be slowly discovered."
"I wonder where His Highness got such a treasure and then presented it to me. This kindness, it's impossible to repay..."
Meng Yiran's thoughts became even more complex.
Qin Xiao had given too much, she could return too little.
"Wait, repay?"
Meng Yiran suddenly remembered something, did His Highness just say that I would thank him?
Could this be a hint to me?
The more she thought about it, the more it seemed possible, so she called out softly to the outside, "Your Highness, are you there?"
Almost without any gap, Qin Xiao's voice came from outside the door.
"I am here, what's the matter?"
He really was there!
Meng Yiran felt a tremble in her heart, followed by a flush of unnatural red on her face.
She looked at the clothes she was wearing and felt they were somewhat superfluous.
After thinking for a moment, Meng Yiran got out of bed, took out a set of thin gauze dress from under the bed, and put it on herself.
To know, this was the dress she wore the first time she looked for Qin Xiao, and since then, Meng Yiran had kept it.
"Your Highness, may I ask you to come in?"
Only then did she say another soft sentence to the door.
"???"
Outside, in the courtyard, Qin Xiao was full of confusion.
What's wrong with this girl?
Could taking medicine lead to a deviation in her cultivation?
With doubts in his heart, Qin Xiao still entered the room.
However.
When he saw Meng Yiran's attire, his eyes widened.
"Yiran, what are you..."
He couldn't help but remember that night, and the delicate waist of the girl behind the gauze dress...
"Yiran doesn't know how else to thank you, can only do this..."
Meng Yiran said as she plunged into Qin Xiao's arms.
And her slender body started to twist slightly.
Hiss...
Qin Xiao immediately felt sensitive parts all over his body being touched.
And by then, Meng Yiran had already helped Qin Xiao take off his outer garment, revealing his muscular physique.
Then, a red lip landed on Qin Xiao's chest, and the nimble little snake slowly slid down, Meng Yiran also slowly squatted down, lightly licked her lips, "Your Highness, I wonder if you like this..."
Qin Xiao's pupils constricted, was this meant to be so exhilarating?
...
Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan.
"Second brother, I'm back."
A figure suddenly appeared in Yu Luomian's room, startling him.
Yu Luomian suddenly turned around, and saw a familiar face.
Without a doubt, it was Yu Yuanzhen!
"Big brother, you've recovered your cultivation!"
Yu Luomian was first shocked, then his face lit up with joy.
"Haha."
Yu Yuanzhen laughed heartily, "You don't know, this trip not only restored my cultivation, but I've also made further progress, my cultivation level has reached level 96!"
"Really?" Yu Luomian's eyes lit up with delight, "Then you've really turned misfortune into a blessing."
However.
Yu Yuanzhen's expression changed after hearing Yu Luomian's words, his face gradually becoming serious.
"Second brother, misfortune is misfortune, even if there is a bit of benefit from it, it's still a disaster."
"I can't forget Xiao Feng's and Tianheng's tragic deaths."
"I also can't forget the fall of hundreds of disciples from our Tyrant Dragon Family."
"Such a great loss cannot be made up for by the increase in my cultivation, nor can their hatred be put down because of it."
Yu Yuanzhen declared firmly, "The reason why my cultivation has improved is precisely because of Xiao Feng, Tianheng, and the deceased Tyrant Dragon Family disciples' spirits in heaven helping me. They are waiting for me to avenge them."
"I must eliminate Qin Xiao, only then can I comfort the spirits of the others in heaven!"
