Chapter 149 Qin Xiao's Little Hobby_2

What!

After hearing Liu Erlong's words, Meng Yiran, Zhu Zhuqing, as well as Meng Yiran were all shocked.

The name of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan was as familiar to them as a thunderous sound.

The number one beast Martial Soul, one of the upper three families.

To mention any of these titles was enough to make the vast majority of Soul Masters look up in admiration.

"Your Highness once told me that the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan is far from comparable to the Hao Tian Clan. How could there possibly be a powerful expert capable of threatening Your Highness?"

"Indeed, Your Highness also mentioned to me that he had previously visited the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, where the clan leader Yu Yuanzhen had taken his own life for the continuation of his clan."

Meng Yiran and Zhu Zhuqing recalled what Qin Xiao had said, their faces filled with confusion.

"What? You're saying that Qin Xiao also attacked the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan?"

Off to the side, Meng Yiran heard of this matter for the first time, her eyes filled with astonishment.

She still remembered how Qin Xiao had stormed into the Sky Dou Royal Academy and abducted Yu Tianheng.

She hadn't expected that what followed was Qin Xiao grabbing him and attacking the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, ultimately leading to the clan leader's death.

Even Dugu Yan could guess that Yu Tianheng's fate was more likely to be grim.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dugu Bo, "Your Highness is low-profile, and he said that it's not worth making a fuss over such a small matter."

Dugu Yan: "..."

Annihilating a clan leader and the heir of the sect leader, is this a small matter?

Then is there anything big left in the world?

"Actually, you don't have to be too sad for Qin Xiao."

"Although this lad had a short life, in just a short dozen or so years, he experienced wonders beyond what most people can imagine."

"Not to mention, the three great sects of the upper three families, the biggest organization of Soul Masters apart from the Martial Soul Hall, were destroyed by Qin Xiao—one wiped out and one crippled. Such a feat, I, an old man, have never seen in my decades of life."

While speaking, Dugu Bo's eyes were filled with a wistful expression.

The deeds of Qin Xiao were such that even he had to acknowledge his admiration with a capital A.

Looking back on his own life, Dugu Bo wasted decades, and not to mention comparing it with Qin Xiao's entire life, even the time after he got to know Qin Xiao seemed quite ordinary.

In the end, Dugu Bo's conclusion was that he had lived his long years as though they were spent on a dog.

In contrast, after hearing Dugu Bo's words, Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, and Liu Erlong's eyes sparked with some spirit, but not much.

They still couldn't detach themselves from the reality of Qin Xiao's death.

"Alas, why the suffering?"

"If Qin Xiao knew about your current state of utter grief, even in death he wouldn't rest in peace."

Dugu Bo, feeling helpless, had no choice but to speak again in an attempt to console.

Yet, no one still bothered with him.

"Enough, enough, you must let Qin Xiao rest in peace, right?"

Dugu Bo said once more.

"What does Your Highness mean?"

At last, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes showed some spark of interest.

Dugu Bo said, "Qin Xiao's body is still warm. Let us erect a cenotaph for him, to bury him, and let him rest in peace."

After hearing Dugu Bo's words, Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, and Liu Erlong all ceased their weeping.

Dugu Bo was right.

Laid to rest in the earth, in peace.

Soon, the three women didn't need anyone else's help and chose a spot with good feng shui in the basin area where the Icefire Polarized Eyes were located.

Of course.

The so-called good feng shui was the spot that Zhu Zhuqing, Liu Erlong, and Meng Yiran, after discussing, found most pleasing to the eye.

Qin Xiao's clothes were folded with care by Zhu Zhuqing and placed into the pit.

However, when everyone was about to bury them, Meng Yiran suddenly said, "Sect Master Du Gu, could you step aside for a moment?"

Dugu Bo, without much thought, nodded and walked away directly.

He thought that Meng Yiran, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others wanted to pour out their hearts to Qin Xiao.

In reality, however...

After Dugu Bo had left, Meng Yiran took out a thin gauzy skirt.

It was the kind that looked as if one were barely wearing anything at all when shined upon by light.

"Yiran, what is this..."

Zhu Zhuqing widened her eyes, not understanding Meng Yiran's actions.

"This skirt is filled with too many stories between Your Highness and me. I'm afraid Your Highness will be lonely over there, so let this skirt replace me for now, accompanying His Highness..."

Saying this, Meng Yiran placed the gauzy skirt into the grave.

Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth, her expression becoming complicated.

At this moment.

Just as Meng Yiran was about to cover the grave, she was stopped by Liu Erlong, "Please wait a moment."

"President Liu, what would you like to do?"

Meng Yiran looked at Liu Erlong with confusion.

Liu Erlong took out a white shirt and a black skirt...

"President Liu, if nothing happened between you and His Highness, you don't have to go this far..."

Zhu Zhuqing said softly, trying to persuade her.

She thought that Liu Erlong had an unrequited love for Qin Xiao...

After all, when Qin Xiao got involved with Liu Erlong, he and Meng Yiran were not there.

However, when Meng Yiran and Zhu Zhuqing saw Liu Erlong pull out a pair of tattered stockings with an embarrassed face, their expressions immediately changed.

"President Liu, please."

Zhu Zhuqing gestured invitingly.

Meng Yiran also stepped to one side to indicate her stance with her actions.

"Alright," Liu Erlong said as she stepped forward and slowly crouched down.

She placed the blouse, the skirt, and the stockings beside Qin Xiao's clothes.

In her mind, scenes of her interactions with Qin Xiao involuntarily surfaced....

For a time, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

"Zhu Qing, why don't you also leave a few items as a memento..." Meng Yiran suggested.

Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment before slowly nodding, "Alright then."

As she spoke, she took out an item.

"This is..."

Meng Yiran was taken aback, it was a thin piece of cloth and a string...

"This is a th..."

Zhu Zhuqing wanted to explain it to Meng Yiran, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Forget it, this thing is hard to explain. You just need to know that His Highness was very fond of me wearing it..." Zhu Zhuqing said, and she also put the item into the grave.

Afterward, the three of them buried it.

They also set up a stone monument with only four words on it: Qin Xiao's Tomb.

...

Time flies.

Seven days hurried by.

At an unknown peak, within an unnamed cave,

Qin Xiao shook off the dust from his body and slowly stood up.

His eyes flickered with a sharp gleam.

"Phew..." he exhaled deeply, "I've finally stabilized my injuries for the time being... but my strength has been greatly diminished."

Stabilizing the injuries didn't mean they were completely healed.

The hunger of the Thunder Emperor Spirit was far beyond Qin Xiao's expectations.

These past few days for him were filled with cravings: I want, I want, I still want...

The cultivation he had gained was all devoured by the Thunder Emperor Spirit.

"If it weren't for feeding it several Immortal Herbs before to lay a foundation, it might have really drained my body," Qin Xiao felt a chill in his heart.

Luckily, he had a good stockpile before.

"However, with the current situation, I can't use my Martial Soul for the time being, and I can't even use all of my Soul Power..."

"I was thinking that once I was able to move, the first thing would be to seek revenge against the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan and the Xingluo Empire, but looking at the circumstances now, that will have to wait."

Qin Xiao muttered to himself, shaking his head in resignation.

Going to Sea God's Island to satiate the Thunder Emperor Spirit was urgent.

"First, I'll return to Blue Tyrant Academy to see if Zhu Qing and Yiran are in any danger," he thought as he left the cave.

Transforming into a bolt of lightning, he headed straight for Tiandou City.

...

On the other side,

Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan.

"Uncle, Uncle, are you there?" Yu Xiaogang called out anxiously at the door of Yu Luomian's residence.

"Come in."

Yu Luomian's voice sounded somewhat weak.

Yu Xiaogang was startled. Was Yu Luomian feeling unwell?

Could something have happened?

A sense of foreboding crept into his heart.

Entering the room, he saw Yu Luomian lying on the bed.

His eyes widened in shock!

Yu Luomian's complexion was as pale as paper; his lips were cracked with tiny wounds, and his eyes were clouded.

"Outrageous!"

"How could a Soul Douluo Level powerhouse look so sick?"

His mood suddenly became agitated.
