Chapter 251 The First Meeting of the Douluo Federation_1

(I'm really not starting a new book. These two chapters have been revised; dear readers, please refresh and reread.)

Outside the inner city, Poseissi stood there, her beauty stunning, her aura otherworldly.

Many eyes were on her, but no one dared linger too long.

Because lingering too long, they all felt it was a desecration.

"Xi Xi, is it really you?"

Qiandaoliu walked out of Thunder Emperor City, looking at the woman outside the city with a somewhat dazed expression.

After so many days and nights, the figure that haunted his dreams finally appeared before him again.

How could he not be excited?

And besides,

Snakelance Douluo had said, she had come for him.

Thinking of this made him even more excited.

He must have figured it out, definitely figured it out.

After so many years, Poseissi must feel he's better than Tang Chen.

No, that's not right.

According to Qin Xiao's words, Tang Chen is already dead...

Does it mean Poseissi came to find him, not necessarily because she thinks he's that great, but because he's the one who lived to the end?

Tch, who cares.

Being alive is what truly matters.

"No matter what, I'm the one who got the last laugh, right?"

"I won, totally won."

Rubbing his hands together, and after touching his hair, Qiandaoliu finally approached Poseissi.

"I thought you'd take another bath and change your clothes before coming over."

Poseissi said somewhat irritably.

This guy hasn't changed at all over the years, always liking to fuss over pointless pageantry.

"You've got a point; I came too hurriedly, and forgot such an important thing."

Qiandaoliu felt Poseissi had a point and was about to return to the city to freshen up.

"Enough, stop being so slick; no matter how much you dress up, you'll look the same." Poseissi huffed.

"Xi Xi, you haven't changed over the years, have you?" Qiandaoliu said with an awkward smile.

Without saying anything else,

Just with that tone, it was unmistakably Poseissi.

"I won't waste words with you. I'm not here to catch up but for another matter."

Poseissi cut to the chase.

"Of course, I know you have other matters."

"Just say it, I'm ready."

Qiandaoliu stood tall, ready to hear Poseissi pour out her emotions.

"Alright, since you're ready, I'll get straight to the point. This time I've come with Qin Xiao's intent; he wants to include the Sea Tribe into the Douluo Alliance, and I've been appointed as the representative for the Sea Tribe.

In other words, he hopes I become a member of the Douluo Alliance Council."

Poseissi paused, feeling her statement was not precise enough, and added, "By Sea Tribe, I don't mean just Sea Soul Masters but also includes some soul beast races, like the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan...

Right, and the Deepsea Devil Whale King also sent a message through me; he has joined the Sea Tribe, no longer an enemy to humankind and Sea God's Island..."

However,

After hearing Poseissi's words, Qiandaoliu felt as if struck by lightning, his head buzzing, his mind a blank.

What's going on?

Why is reality so different from what I imagined?

No way, it must be an illusion.

Thinking thus, he secretly pinched himself.

Hisss...

It hurts...

So Poseissi came to him really just for some public affairs?

Qiandaoliu found it hard to accept this fact.

After all, he had come with full joy, and the disappointment was too great.

Still, he couldn't help asking, "Are you done?"

"I'm done."

"That's all you have to say? Are you sure you've covered everything, or do you need some more time to think?"

"I'm very sure, no need to think it over..."

Poseissi answered very affirmatively.

Yet, Qiandaoliu was anything but calm.

Poseissi clearly saw Qiandaoliu's face changing expressions rapidly, like a changing traffic light.

Turning green, then black, then white, then green again.

"Are you alright?"

Poseissi asked, puzzled.

"Me, what could possibly be wrong with me?"

"It's just seeing you made me so happy, I got a little carried away."

Qiandaoliu desperately used his smile to cover up the sadness in his heart.

To mourn the love that had ended before it even began.

Such bad karma.

Had he known not to think too much, all this would've been avoided.

"Well then, since I'm here in Spirit City, shall I go in for a visit?"

"Oh, that's not right."

Poseissi suddenly noticed the words above the city gate, "The current Spirit City should be called Thunder Emperor City."

"As it should be."

"The Douluo Alliance's first meeting is still a few days away; I'll arrange someone to show you around properly."

Qiandaoliu led Poseissi into Thunder Emperor City with a strained smile.

...

At night.

In a luxurious mansion,

Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, Ah Yin, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, a group of women, gathered together.

They talked about everything, chirping away like a flock of sparrows.

"Not much time has passed, but the changes are really fast. We used to call Second Dragon Sister 'Dean,' and now we just call her 'sister.'"

Meng Yiran was feeling a bit nostalgic.

"Speaking of which, I have something to say. Have you noticed that lately, Second Dragon Sister has been a bit off?" Ning Rongrong initiated a gossip topic.

"I feel like Second Dragon Sister has gained a lot of weight; there's a bit of a bulge in her lower abdomen... and she especially likes eating sour things..." Dugu Yan pondered for a moment then whispered.

The others didn't speak but nodded in agreement.

They had also noticed these anomalies.

Ning Rongrong said mysteriously, "I've read some books and asked around, under this condition, Second Dragon Sister is very likely to be... Judging by the looks of it, at least three or four months along..."

"To be..."

"That's truly enviable."

"..."

After listening to Ning Rongrong, the others' eyes revealed a longing gaze.
