Douluo Continent: Revitalizing the Blue Lightning Overlord Clan

Chapter 143 A Beautiful and Kind-hearted Little Angel

Chapter 143 A Beautiful and Kind-hearted Little Angel

"Young Master, this kid's vitality is truly terrifying. He has not died despite suffering such severe injuries, and his body is even repairing itself."

"However, his meridians are all severed. Even if he survives, his talent will be greatly diminished in the future, and he will find it difficult to make any further progress."

"What a pity! This kid is not even sixteen years old yet, and he has already reached the Soul Emperor realm. He's truly a monster!"

Serpent Spear Douluo removed his hand from Yu Tianyun's bandaged body, his eyes flashing with shock. Finally, he turned his gaze to Qian Renxue and said:

"Young Master, why don't we just kill him? He's crippled anyway."

"No! Heal him with all your might." Hearing the Serpent Spear Douluo's suggestion, Qian Renxue's face darkened. Her gaze towards the Serpent Spear Douluo was filled with speechless exasperation, and she silently muttered to herself:

"Could this guy be a spy planted by those damned guys from the Clear Sky Sect? All he thinks about is muscles!"

Meeting the clear yet foolish gaze of the Serpent Spear Douluo, Qian Renxue explained helplessly:

"When we brought him back, many people saw us. If we kill him, we will inevitably be investigated and killed. Then we will become mortal enemies with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, and our plan to seize the country, which we have painstakingly built up over the years, will surely fall through."

"Your subordinate understands. Young Master is truly farsighted!" The Serpent Spear Douluo, suddenly realizing the truth, sincerely admired his young master's strategy.

"Get out of here!" Qian Renxue waved her hand at him, extremely impatient.

"Yes, young master." Serpent Spear Douluo bowed and took his leave.

After the room quieted down, Qian Renxue turned her gaze to Yu Tianyun, who looked like a mummy.

Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but recall the scene when she discovered Yu Tianyun. It was the first time she had ever seen a man's thing, and just thinking about it made her grit her teeth in hatred.

Seeing Yu Tianyun's current miserable state, he couldn't help but feel a secret pleasure, and spat out, "Scumbag, he deserves to be struck by lightning!"

"However, your talent is truly surprising; you've actually cultivated faster than me."

"I have indeed wasted too much time over the years, it seems I need to set aside more time for cultivation."

As she spoke, Qian Renxue shifted her gaze to Yu Tianyun's head, where only his mouth, nose, and eyes were visible, and continued to mutter to herself:

"I hope you can recover, otherwise, I'll be very lonely without any rivals."

After saying that, a thought suddenly popped into her mind, and a mischievous smile appeared on her beautiful face. She walked up to Yu Tianyun and extended her hand.

"Snap!"

A crisp slap rang out, and Yu Tianyun's head tilted to one side.

"Snap!"

She didn't stop, and slapped the other side of his face. Then, her beautiful eyes looked down, and she stretched out her jade finger and flicked the listless Xiao Tianyun. Instantly, Xiao Tianyun seemed to be awakened, stretching the bandages taut.

Qian Renxue's pretty face flushed slightly, but she couldn't help but chuckle. Finally, seemingly satisfied, she said, "Consider this punishment for offending my eyes. I'll punish you every time I see you before you wake up!"

……

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Tianyun's fingers trembled slightly, and his consciousness began to gradually return. However, each glimmer of consciousness was accompanied by unbearable pain emanating from every part of his body.

He tried hard to open his eyes, but found his eyelids incredibly heavy, as if weighed down by lead. He finally managed to open them a crack, but all he could see was a blur.

He tried to move his body, but even the slightest movement sent him into a near-fainting fit of pain. He let out a weak groan.

"Am I...am I still alive?"

"Yes, you're still alive!"

A gentle male voice rang out, and a blurry face appeared in Yu Tianyun's vision. The face seemed to be surrounded by a golden halo, radiating a soft light. Yu Tianyun murmured:

Are you an angel?

"Uh!...No! I am Xue Qinghe."

Qian Renxue was stunned; she almost thought she had been exposed.

"Xue Qinghe...no..."

Yu Tianyun subconsciously wanted to say, "Isn't Xue Qinghe an angel?" But then he realized what he had said and sat up in shock from his deathbed.

"Ah!~" A surge of intense pain rushed over him, and Yu Tianyun lay heavily back on the bed.

The pain also made him more conscious, and allowed him to see the face of the person in front of him clearly.

That was Xue Qinghe's face, and the golden light was just Xue Qinghe's hair. At this moment, he was lying on a soft bed in a spacious and bright room.

At this moment, Yu Tianyun was terrified. He almost let something slip, otherwise his life would have been in danger.

Fortunately, his face was covered by bandages, otherwise Qian Renxue would definitely have noticed.

Qian Renxue looked at Yu Tianyun, who had regained consciousness, and said gently:

"Brother Yu, what happened to you? Why are you so badly injured? Luckily, I ran into you on my way back from my teacher's place, otherwise you might have lost your life."

Yu Tianyun regained his composure. From Qian Renxue's words, he understood that she had saved him. Suppressing his pain, he weakly said:

"Thank you so much, Brother Qinghe, for saving me! I must have been struck by lightning!"

Qian Renxue was slightly startled, then secretly chuckled to herself, thinking:

"He really got struck by lightning! That's karma!"

Qian Renxue, however, remained expressionless and continued to speak with concern:

"Brother Yu, this lightning strike is truly rare. Is there some hidden story behind it?"

Yu Tianyun felt a bitter taste in his mouth and said with a wry smile:

"Perhaps I was just unlucky and happened to be caught in a thunderstorm, which is why I suffered this calamity."

Qian Renxue scrutinized him, as if judging the truthfulness of his words, and after a moment said:

"Brother Yu is very lucky to have survived this tribulation of lightning. He will surely have good fortune in the future."

"Sigh, as long as I can recover and not become a cripple, that's enough."

Yu Tianyun sighed and said that he had realized that his physical condition was extremely bad, but he was not so worried. With the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone and the Blue Silver Domain, it would not be difficult for him to fully recover, it would just take some time.

Qian Renxue comforted her:

"Brother Yu, rest assured, I have already given orders to do everything I can to treat you, and I am confident that you will recover completely."

Yu Tianyun said gratefully:

"Thank you so much, Brother Qinghe. I am deeply grateful. If you ever need my help in the future, I will go through fire and water for you, even at the cost of my life!"

Qian Renxue was naturally pleased to hear this. Gaining the support of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect would undoubtedly make her plan to seize the country much smoother. However, she did not show any eagerness on the surface and still said humbly:

"Brother Yu, you flatter me. We are both from the Heavenly Dou Empire, and Brother Yu is a rare genius in the empire. How could I stand by and watch him die?"

……

In the following days, under the care arranged by Qian Renxue, Yu Tianyun's injuries gradually improved. However, he remained wary of Qian Renxue and kept a close eye on his surroundings.

He only cautiously used the healing soul skill of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone when he sensed that no one was paying attention to him, relying on his powerful mental strength. His injuries had already healed to about 70-80%.

Qian Renxue would visit him every day, offering words of comfort and concern before leaving. Yu Tianyun was very grateful to Qian Renxue for saving him, and promised to support her. In Yu Tianyun's view, it didn't matter whether the plan to seize the country succeeded or not, as long as Qian Renxue didn't try to destroy his family like her mother did.

Of course, Yu Tianyun's motives weren't pure either; it would be impossible for him not to be moved by such a beautiful little angel.

He never made excuses to cover up his filthy thoughts; he just wanted to get closer to Qian Renxue.

On this day, Qian Renxue came to visit as usual.

Qian Renxue smiled and said:

"Brother Yu, you look great, you've recovered quite well."

However, she was surprised by Yu Tianyun's vitality. Other Soul Emperors who suffered such serious injuries would not recover so quickly, even if treated with all their might by a healing Soul Saint.

Although she had asked Ye Lingling's mother, the Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Saint, to treat him, she also said that Yu Tianyun's recovery ability was extremely amazing.

Ye Lingling's mother was unaware that she had taken on her son-in-law's job, since Ye Lingling and Yu Tianyun had only been dating for a short time and hadn't even met each other's parents yet.

At this time, after a week of recuperation, Yu Tianyun's external injuries had completely healed without leaving a single scar. However, his hair had not yet grown back, making him look somewhat comical. Moreover, most of his internal meridians had been unblocked.

Yu Tianyun clasped his hands and said:

"Thanks to Brother Qinghe's care, I am now fully recovered and should return to report to my family that I am safe and sound."

A hint of reluctance flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. Her conversations with Yu Tianyun over the past few days had benefited her greatly and changed her opinion of him. Although he was a scumbag, his ideas on governing the country were novel and feasible.

Over the past few days, Yu Tianyun has been telling Qian Renxue a variety of historical anecdotes from Blue Star, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, from feudal empires to republics. This has made Qian Renxue look at him with new respect, as if she has discovered a treasure, and she wishes she could keep him as a pet.

Qian Renxue's expression quickly returned to normal, and she said:

"It's time to go back and take a look. However, Tianyun, I have some questions for you. What are your thoughts on the Spirit Hall's ambition to unify the continent?"

"The Spirit Hall?"

Yu Tianyun frowned slightly as he looked at Qian Renxue's face.

Qian Renxue sighed and explained:

"Tianyun, you must be aware of the power of the Spirit Hall."

Yu Tianyun nodded, wanting to know what Qian Renxue was trying to say.

Qian Renxue continued:

"The Spirit Hall commands more than half of all the Spirit Masters on the continent, and in recent years, its ambitions have become increasingly apparent. I am very worried about the future of the empire."

Yu Tianyun rested his chin on his hand, pondering:

"Should I praise the Spirit Hall in front of her? Maybe that will help us take things further. Let's do it!"

Yu Tianyun cleared his throat and slowly said:

"Brother Qinghe, please forgive my bluntness."

Qian Renxue smiled gently.

"Please feel free to speak."

"Brother Qinghe, in my opinion, the empire is too corrupt. It is common for nobles to oppress commoners, and they do not value commoner geniuses. The most obvious example is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which recruits children of nobles. Most of the students in those academies are spoiled brats, wasting a lot of the empire's resources. Moreover, there are very few advanced soul master academies in the entire empire that can recruit commoners."

"Most commoner soul masters only attended junior soul master academies, and then they were unable to afford to study at intermediate and advanced soul master academies. It wasn't that they didn't want to go, but they simply didn't have the money to support them."

"The Spirit Hall helps ordinary people across the continent awaken their spirits. When they encounter a talented spirit master, they extend an olive branch, providing the necessary cultivation materials and free schooling."

"The Spirit Hall respects commoner spirit masters and provides subsidies to low-level spirit masters, which has attracted a large number of supporters among them. Although this money comes from the two great empires, Brother Qinghe must also know that without the Spirit Hall, would the empires continue to provide subsidies? Perhaps even if they did, would those gold spirit coins really reach those commoner spirit masters?"

"To be honest, neither I nor my family dislike the Spirit Hall. On the contrary, we admire it greatly. A gentleman judges by his actions, not his intentions. The Spirit Hall's actions are truly benevolent deeds that benefit the continent. Even if the Spirit Hall were to unify the continent one day, I would not be surprised."

"Moreover, if the mainland can truly be unified, it will be a blessing for the entire continent. There will be no more wars between countries, and the common people will no longer suffer from the ravages of war."

……

Listening to Yu Tianyun's inspiring words, Qian Renxue's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"So he doesn't dislike the Spirit Hall after all. I really want to win him over completely."

Thinking this to herself, she maintained her composure on the surface, letting out a long sigh and saying:

"Tianyun, everything you say is true. I am also at my wit's end. I am struggling to maintain the empire. Tianyun, would you be willing to help me?"

Yu Tianyun feigned helplessness.

"Brother Qinghe, I really want to help you, but I simply don't have the time. I need to focus on my cultivation right now. However, I will do my best to support you with the power I have."

Qian Renxue nodded slightly, a knowing smile on her face: "Tianyun, I was being presumptuous. It's only right that you prioritize cultivation."

Yu Tianyun clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Brother Qinghe."

……

Watching Yu Tianyun's departing figure, Qian Renxue couldn't help but smile. Saving Yu Tianyun's life was nothing more than a small favor for her, yet she gained Yu Tianyun's support, as well as the subsequent support of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, and Yu Tianyun's views on the Spirit Hall. This made her eager to win Yu Tianyun over.

"His talent is second only to mine, he doesn't reject the Spirit Hall, and he's handsome... Ugh, he's a scumbag! Qian Renxue, what are you thinking?"

Although Yu Tianyun was becoming increasingly interesting to her, the thought of his philandering and promiscuous lifestyle with his three wives and four concubines made her feel somewhat annoyed.

After bidding farewell to Qian Renxue, Yu Tianyun headed towards Lanba Academy. In the past few days, he had been recalling the entire process of being struck by lightning, and he had already made some guesses in his mind.

Thunderous Hell Vine!

Yu Tianyun suspected it was his first spirit ring; the lightning that day seemed to be drawn to him.

Like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the Thunderous Hell Vine has a unique cultivation method; it relies on attracting lightning to rapidly increase its cultivation level.

His first spirit ring came from the Thunderous Hell Vine, so this is the only explanation that makes sense.

"The Thunderous Hell Vine is supposed to attract lightning power to increase cultivation, but my cultivation hasn't increased at all!"

"So, all that lightning strike was for nothing? Should I hide every time it rains from now on?"

"Why haven't I encountered this situation on rainy days before?"

Yu Tianyun was puzzled and angry that he had been struck by lightning for no reason, had not gained any benefit, and had almost been struck to death.

"No, there must have been something different about me that day compared to before for me to be struck by lightning."

"Different places?"

"The lifespan of this spirit ring used to be 600 years, but after I came out of Dragon Valley, it became 50,000 years. And since then, I don't think I've ever released a spirit ring during a thunderstorm."

"That should be it. Maybe we'll figure it out next time we try. But if we guess wrong, it would be terrible to get half-dead from being struck by lightning again."

"Although my physical body seems to have become stronger after being attacked like this, the pain is even more intense than when I ate the Eight-Starred Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delight."

……

Yu Tianyun was lost in thought when he unknowingly arrived at Blue Tyrant Academy.
