Douluo: Why is Qian Renxue not in love anymore?

Chapter 21 Flanders, Liu Erlong (2)

Upon hearing this, Li Muyun's lips curled up into an uninhibited smile. He did not retreat a single step, but instead leisurely took a step forward to face Liu Erlong who was about to explode.

"The road is so wide. I'm eating your rice. Should I give way to you?" His words were a bit joking, yet polite. His voice was neither too loud nor too low, just enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

The air around them seemed to freeze for a moment, and everyone held their breath to see how this child would deal with this legendary strong woman.

Liu Erlong was also stunned. She didn't expect to meet such a fearless person in front of the inn in this remote town. She looked at Li Muyun carefully. Although the child's face was immature, his calm temperament was hard to ignore.

"Which family are you from? Let your elders speak out." Liu Erlong's voice was low and powerful, and every word was as piercing as ice. She took a step forward with a fierce momentum, like a flaming lion about to pounce on its prey.

Li Muyun remained calm, and the unruly smile on his lips became even wider. He shook his head gently: "I'm just a civilian soul master, what's wrong with that?"

The air around us became increasingly tense, and the whispers of passers-by were like the chirping of insects in the distance, subtle but clearly audible.

An elderly traveler spoke tremblingly, his voice full of consolation and helplessness. He tried to calm this unnecessary conflict in his capacity as an elder.

Upon hearing this, Li Muyun glanced at the old man with a hint of respect in his eyes, and then turned to Liu Erlong, still with that unruly smile on his face. "Of course we have to give way, but it depends on who we give it to."

"Kid, do you know who I am? I am the Soul Emperor. If you don't get out of the way, you'll be in big trouble." Liu Erlong's words burst out like a raging fire. She took a step closer, and the sense of oppression made the surrounding space tremble, and even the air seemed to solidify.

Facing this sudden pressure, Li Muyun did not move at all, but a hint of amusement flashed in his deep eyes, "So what if I am a Soul Emperor? The rules of soul masters have always been that the strong are respected, but the way of the strong lies in the heart. If you ask others to give in just based on the level of soul power, how is it different from being tyrannical and unreasonable? Some people say that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre."

Liu Erlong asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Li Muyun didn't understand. How could Liu Erlong not know the meaning of this sentence? You have to know that this is the teaching philosophy of Shrek Academy!
Li Muyun explained, "It means that a soul master who doesn't dare to cause trouble is not a good soul master."

Liu Erlong frowned, his eyes were filled with anger, "What a sharp-tongued boy! Do you know that in the world of soul masters, strength is the only hard truth? Without strength, no matter how many verbal disputes you have, you will only become a laughing stock!"

At this moment, Flanders, who was in the inn, heard the two sentences, "A soul master who dares not cause trouble is a mediocre person, and a soul master who dares not cause trouble is not a good soul master." He felt that these two sentences made sense. It seemed that Shrek Academy was still lacking a teaching philosophy. Well, this is it.

"Strength?" Li Muyun took a step back and let Qian Renxue out. "You see, she is my strength, she is my confidence, she is the one that none of you can afford to offend."

After Li Muyun finished speaking, the air around him seemed to freeze for a moment, and everyone's eyes involuntarily focused on the silent little girl beside him - Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue??? Can't you be a little more low-key?

Helplessly, she had to call out the two Title Douluo who were secretly protecting her. If you like to be high-profile, then why not let me be high-profile! Liu Erlong is her enemy. Although it is not easy to take action now, it is still acceptable to collect some interest.

Qian Renxue originally thought about killing Liu Erlong and Flanders here, but then she changed her mind and realized that these two people had not played any role in the previous life and did not pose any threat. If she killed them, it would affect her God's perspective.

"Grandpa Thorny Porpoise, Grandpa Snake Spear, come out." As Qian Renxue's gesture fell, two figures appeared from the night like ghosts, one on the left and one on the right, standing silently beside Qian Renxue.

The Thorny Porpoise and the Snake Spear were wearing black cloaks, their faces hidden in the shadows, but the terrifying pressure emanating from them made everyone present feel unprecedented shock.

With the appearance of two Titled Douluo-level masters, the atmosphere in front of the inn instantly became extremely tense and depressing.

Li Muyun raised a cynical smile, "Originally, we wanted to experience the joy of ordinary life in this small place as ordinary people. But it seems that some people just don't understand the principle of 'one step back, the sky is wide open'." He gently patted Qian Renxue's shoulder, indicating that she didn't need to say more, and he took a step forward and said seriously: "Now that we have come to this point, we won't hide it. The person behind me is not only the eldest daughter of a prominent family, but also a figure who can shake the continent in the future. Her words and deeds are enough to make the strong people on this land tremble."

Liu Erlong's expression instantly became complicated, showing shock and disbelief. Her eyes moved back and forth between Qian Renxue and the two Titled Douluo, and finally fixed on Li Muyun's confident face.

"He can send out two Titled Douluo to protect him at once. Could he be..." There was a hint of trembling in Liu Erlong's words. The unfinished speculation hung in the air, but it was enough to stir up huge waves in the hearts of the people around him.

At this moment, Li Muyun chuckled and interrupted the subtle silence: "Yes, she is the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall - Hu...Lina."

Li Muyun deliberately pronounced the three words "Hu Lina" clearly and powerfully, as if these three words themselves contained unspeakable power.

Qian Renxue: When did I become Hu Lina?

Hu Lina: Stop it, I'm still playing in the mud.

There was a hint of doubt and surprise in Qian Renxue's eyes. She turned her head to look at Li Muyun. Her clear eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

How did he know that Hu Lina would become the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall in the future?

Is it because of his ability to see the past and the future?

No way? Am I really going to be his wife in the future?

At this moment, Flanders stood up from his seat, walked quickly to Liu Erlong, and persuaded him: "Erlong, apologize. In this world, strength is indeed important, but form is stronger than people. We are in the wrong for what happened today."

Liu Erlong bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes still burning with anger, but also flickering with struggle. She knew that Flanders' words made sense, and she was even more aware of the subtlety of the situation.

Finally, she took a deep breath, turned her eyes away from Li Muyun's cynical smile, and looked at Qian Renxue and the two Titled Douluo beside her. She said in a low and reluctant voice: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I was reckless."

As Liu Erlong's low and reluctant apology fell, the tense atmosphere seemed to ease a little. Flanders gently patted Liu Erlong's shoulder, "Erlong, let's go."

In the inn, the candlelight flickered, illuminating the stunned faces. Just as Liu Erlong and Flanders were about to leave, a slightly panicked innkeeper hurried out from behind the counter, holding the account book tightly in his hand, with a trembling and uneasy voice: "You two, please... please stay, your meal bill has not been settled yet..."

He stood cautiously among the crowd, his eyes occasionally glancing at the two Titled Douluo wearing black cloaks and emitting a cold aura, as well as Qian Renxue, who had an extraordinary demeanor beside them. He muttered to himself: These are not ordinary diners, they are clearly the daughters of some powerful family!
Hearing this, Li Muyun smiled lightly and took out a jeweled purse from his bosom. His action revealed a sense of freedom and uninhibitedness: "Don't panic, the bill must be settled. I'll pay for the two of them. Please book five rooms for us."

Liu Erlong and Flanders looked at each other. Although they were unwilling, they also understood that it was wise to give in at this moment. They turned around slowly, with a hint of heaviness in their steps, but also revealed their helpless acceptance of reality.

Before leaving, Liu Erlong's gaze swept across Qian Renxue and Li Muyun again. The complex emotions in her eyes disappeared in an instant and finally turned into an imperceptible hatred.

Upon seeing this, the innkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully took the purse thrown to him by Li Muyun, his hands trembling slightly, for fear of being negligent in the slightest.

He quickly opened a corner of his purse, and the bright light of the gold soul coin instantly illuminated the dim corner, causing the people around him to exclaim. After confirming that it was correct, he smiled gratefully and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir! Please wait a moment, I will arrange a room for you right away."
