The hall was completely silent.
The smile on Emperor Xueye's face was still frozen at the corner of his mouth.
The next second.
His pupils suddenly contracted, his smile froze, and he stood there dumbfounded as if struck by lightning.
Snap.
The thin letter slipped from his trembling hand and floated gently to the clean floor.
"No...it's impossible..."
The Snow Night Emperor muttered to himself in a daze, his eyes filled with terror.
"This...how is this possible?!"
Prince Xuexing and Xue Beng exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.
"His Majesty?"
Xue Qinghe frowned slightly, bent down, and picked up the letter from the ground.
He looked down.
In just one glance, his gentle eyes were instantly filled with a turbulent storm!
The letter contained few words, yet every word was piercing to the heart!
"Blue Silver King Tang Qing fought alone against the combined forces of Sword and Bone Douluo, and won a great victory."
"Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, led all three thousand disciples of the school to kneel and submit, and the sect was incorporated into the Northern Territory."
Xue Qinghe's hand holding the letter trembled slightly.
He murmured softly.
"Blue Silver King... What a Blue Silver King..."
He actually... defeated the combined forces of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo all by himself?
Those were two Title Douluos at level 90 or above!
With their combined strength, they would dare to challenge even a level 97 Title Douluo!
They actually lost?
Moreover, it completely subdued Ning Fengzhi, that arrogant old fox who had always stayed away from the two great empires.
What the Heavenly Dou royal family, no, the Heavenly Dou Empire, had failed to achieve for thousands of years, he accomplished so easily!
Such a domineering and invincible man, who overwhelms the world...
Xue Qinghe, or rather Qian Renxue, felt an unprecedented burning sensation surge up from the depths of her heart and instantly spread throughout her body.
Her incomparably beautiful face unconsciously flushed with a captivating blush.
Her heart was boiling!
She vowed to conquer this man!
A strong sense of urgency rose in Qian Renxue's heart.
No, we have to speed things up!
We must complete the disguise mission as soon as possible and inherit the angelic position!
Only by possessing the power of a god could this man willingly submit to one's will!
Just as Qian Renxue was overwhelmed with emotion, Emperor Xueye on the throne finally recovered from his great shock.
He seemed to age ten years in an instant, and his voice trembled as he issued the command.
"Guards! Block the message!"
"Block this message immediately!"
"Everyone...everyone who knows this message, get rid of them all!"
His eyes were filled with fear.
"This message must absolutely not be sent out for now! Otherwise, the Heavenly Dou Royal Family will be in grave danger!"
Prince Xuexing and Xue Beng also came over to read the letter, and were equally terrified, their faces turning pale and their bodies trembling like leaves.
"But…but Your Majesty," Prince Xuexing said in a trembling voice, "even if we don't spread the word, what about the Blue Silver King…"
Xue Qinghe had regained her composure. She put the letter away, her voice steady.
"Uncle, there's no need to worry."
"The Blue Silver King has never bothered to do such things."
"He prefers to let the facts speak for themselves."
"Therefore, as long as we keep the information under wraps, this message will not be leaked before the North officially announces it to the outside world."
...
Half a month later.
The Northern Frontier, the Blue Silver Kingdom.
The former city has been completely transformed and has become the political and military center of the entire North.
The city lord's mansion was also expanded into the current Blue Silver Royal Mansion.
Inside the study, Tang Qing finished dealing with the last military and political affairs document, leaned back in his chair with a slight weariness, and rubbed his temples.
A faint, lingering fragrance wafted by.
Zhu Zhuqing carried a plate of delicate pastries and a cup of fragrant tea, and walked in quietly with light, cat-like steps.
She placed the tea and snacks on the table, then walked behind Tang Qing and stretched out her slender hand to massage his temples just right.
"Your Majesty, are you tired?"
Her voice was soft, with a touch of lazy magnetism, like a kitten's paw gently scratching at one's heart.
Tang Qing closed her eyes, enjoying her service, and her tense nerves relaxed.
"Fortunately, we've finally got the initial framework set up."
Zhu Zhuqing's fingers were skillful, and her pressure was just right, making him feel very comfortable.
As she massaged him, she brought her warm lips close to Tang Qing's ear, her breath as fragrant as orchids.
"Your Majesty, shall we go and stretch our legs a bit?"
Tang Qing opened her eyes, a smile playing on her lips.
"Oh? How would you like to do it?"
Zhu Zhuqing walked around to his front, took his hand, and gently shook it, saying in a coquettish tone.
"Let's go practice. I haven't sparred with you in ages."
The girl's coquettish manner shed her usual aloofness, revealing a unique charm that belonged only to her.
Those captivating eyes were filled with cunning and anticipation.
Seeing her like this, Tang Qing's heart stirred, and she stood up with a smile.
"Okay, as you wish."
The two arrived at the martial arts training ground in the backyard of the Prince's mansion.
Zhu Zhuqing took a few steps back, facing Tang Qing from a distance, and her aura changed.
His usual gentleness and coquettishness vanished, replaced by the sharpness and focus of a top assassin.
"Zhu Zhuqing".
"Martial Soul, Netherworld Cat".
"Level 53, Agility-based Battle Soul King."
She spoke each word with utmost seriousness.
Please enlighten me.
Over the past four years, thanks to Tang Qing's unreserved investment of resources and her own relentless and arduous training, she has achieved remarkable success.
Her soul power has soared from level 20 to level 53.
This speed has already left Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the other so-called Shrek Academy geniuses far behind.
As soon as she finished speaking, five spirit rings rose from beneath her feet: two yellow, two purple, and one black!
Martial Spirit Possession!
Her figure became even more slender and voluptuous, a long cat tail appeared behind her, and sharp black nails popped out from her hands.
"First Soul Skill, Netherworld Thrust!"
Zhu Zhuqing let out a delicate shout, and her figure instantly disappeared from the spot, turning into a blurry black shadow that rushed straight towards Tang Qing's face!
However, faced with her lightning-fast attack, Tang Qing simply raised her hand casually.
He didn't even look at Zhu Zhuqing's movements; he simply grabbed at the air.
The next moment, Zhu Zhuqing appeared out of thin air. Tang Qing casually grasped her incredibly sharp cat claws in his palm, no more than half an inch from his throat.
Unable to move.
"Too direct."
Tang Qing said calmly, "Your attack was too obvious."
Zhu Zhuqing gave a defiant snort, and her third soul ring lit up.
"Netherworld Slash!"
Several black claw-like shadows appeared out of thin air and attacked Tang Qing from all directions.
Tang Qing remained motionless, but a faint emerald green light emanated from his body.
The moment all the claw shadows came into contact with that layer of light, they vanished silently, like ice and snow melting away.
"Zhu Qing, although your strength is already outstanding among your peers."
Tang Qing released her hand and looked at her.
"However, I'm still a long way from there."
Zhu Zhuqing pouted and dispelled her martial spirit true form.
"I'm not fighting anymore!"
She ran to Tang Qing's side and hugged his arm in a somewhat spoiled manner.
"I can't beat you at all during the day."
Upon hearing this, Tang Qing looked down at her, a mischievous smile appearing in his eyes.
He reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace and whispering in her ear.
"You can't beat me tonight either."
