"Your Majesty, what brings you here?"
Qian Renxue looked at Dugu Bo in front of her, her eyes filled with surprise.
That Dugu Bo would come to see her was something she hadn't anticipated.
Although they had met before, their relationship had never been particularly "friendly."
Dugu Bo had always been associated with Emperor Xue Ye or, more accurately, the Xue Beng faction, and he had never shown her any kindness.
But now...
Qian Renxue was a bit confused.
The next moment, however, her face changed slightly. Dugu Bo was here, but where was Li Yu?
Because Dugu Bo sudden appearance made her forget that Dugu Bo should have been with Li Yu!
But now, Dugu Bo had come to see her, yet Li Yu was nowhere to be seen.
Could something have gone wrong with the "detoxification"?
Qian Renxue face paled, and her emotions grew agitated.
"Where is Yu'er?"
"Why isn't she with you?"
"Could it be...?"
Her fists clenched, her knuckles turning white.
She looked at Dugu Bo, her eyes now filled with a hint of pleading.
"…"
Dugu Bo stared at this side of 'Xue Qinghe' and was momentarily stunned.
This little brat usually seemed so gentle and refined, yet now, when it came to Li Yu, she was acting like a little girl.
Ha, he had been worried that Li Yu wouldn't be able to handle this little brat, so he came to check...
But now, it seemed he had overthought things!
This little brat seemed to have been completely taken in by Li Yu!
At least, that was what Dugu Bo thought.
But...
Here he was, a 93rd-level Title Douluo, and this little brat was actually blocking his way?
What kind of disrespect was that!
"Hmph!"
Dugu Bo snorted in feigned displeasure, letting out a bit of his aura.
"Hm?"
Feeling the sudden release of Dugu Bo aura, Qian Renxue was momentarily startled.
It had only been three months, but the aura Dugu Bo released had grown considerably stronger!
Once a Title Douluo, any increase in soul power would be difficult to achieve.
Every level of soul power would bring a huge increase in strength!
With Dugu Bo status, how could he have had such an improvement in such a short period of time?
She couldn't believe it and then suddenly exclaimed, "Your Majesty, has the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor been resolved?"
She had already heard from Li Yu about Dugu Bo condition.
"Hmph, that little girl, why does she talk about everything to outsiders!"
Dugu Bo grumbled, looking at Qian Renxue with increasing dislike.
"Outsiders?"
Qian Renxue eyes narrowed further.
What do you mean "Outsiders "?
I'm Li Yu Husband; you're the outsider here!
"Won't you invite this old man in to sit?"
Dugu Bo snorted again, completely ignoring Qian Renxue displeasure.
He walked past her, forcing his way into the hall, and sat down on a fur-covered sofa.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue didn't say much. She simply poured Dugu Bo a cup of tea.
She couldn't do much. He was already sitting comfortably, and she couldn't act like a stubborn child and say, "I don't want you here, please leave!"
"Mm~"
Dugu Bo took a sip of tea, nodding his head.
"At least you have some sense!"
Qian Renxue returned a polite smile but didn't respond.
Her message was clear: If you have something to say, just say it quickly. I'm not exactly thrilled to have you here!
"I asked Li Yu if she had any thoughts about establishing her own force."
Dugu Bo suddenly shifted the conversation.
Qian Renxue brow furrowed slightly, but she still didn't speak. Instead, her hand, which had been hanging by her side, gripped her clothes tightly.
"She said she only wanted to help you inherit the throne."
Dugu Bo gaze locked onto Qian Renxue, and at this moment, he released his full spiritual power.
The overwhelming aura of a 93rd-level Title Douluo caused Qian Renxue body to sink, her knees slightly bending as if she was about to collapse to the ground.
However.
Her eyes remained full of determination, and her bent legs slowly straightened, her back also stiffening.
She stared into Dugu Bo eyes, speaking with difficulty but with absolute resolve: "Then I will certainly not let Yu'er down!"
There was no drama, no overly emotional sentiment.
Instead, she expressed her firm resolve to fulfill Li Yu expectations!
And at the same time, it was as if she was telling Dugu Bo: Li Yu is my wife, and her wishes, as her husband, I will fulfill to the best of my ability!
Meanwhile.
Because of the sudden release of Dugu Bo aura, Heaven Dou Empire City, especially within the Imperial Palace, had become somewhat chaotic.
This was a commotion that hadn't even happened when three Title Douluos appeared in the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Soul Battle Arena.
At that time, all three had restrained themselves and didn't want to cause a scene.
But this time.
Dugu Bo had completely exposed his power.
And it was in the Tiandou Imperial Palace.
It was as if he was saying: "Hey, everyone, look! I'm at level 93 now! I'm going to rebel and take the throne!"
Quite arrogant.
"This old man, how did he suddenly breakthrough to level 93?"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi, who were both in Heaven Dou Empire City, felt Dugu Bo aura for the first time.
"93?!"
Ning Fengzhi was slightly shocked. When he last saw Dugu Bo, he was only at level 91. How had he suddenly made such a breakthrough?
"What is he trying to do?"
"Weren't he and Prince Xue Xing always close? Why is he suddenly acting wild in the Tiandou Imperial Palace?"
"Has his cultivation breakthrough made him reckless?"
Ning Fengzhi speculated.
Chen Xin slightly shook his head. "There's no malicious intent in his aura, though it seems like he's showing off?"
On the other side.
"Dugu Bo, what is he doing here?"
Prince Xue Xing was filled with astonishment, and then his expression changed to confusion. Dugu Bo had come to the Tiandou Imperial Palace but didn't come to see him. Instead, he went to Xue Qinghe. What did this mean?
A feeling of being betrayed suddenly surged in Prince Xue Xing's heart, but he quickly pushed the thought aside and hurried toward Xue Qinghe palace.
"Dugu Bo?"
Emperor Xue Ye sat alone at his desk, seemingly in deep thought.
When he sensed Dugu Bo aura, he wasn't moved.
It seemed like no big deal.
"Your Majesty, Title Poison Douluo's cultivation has break through to level 93!"
A figure hidden under a hood appeared before Emperor Xue Ye desk, speaking with some seriousness.
Only then did Emperor Xue Ye raise his gaze, his expression showing some surprise.
His soul master talent wasn't very high, and his cultivation wasn't particularly advanced, so his perception wasn't that clear.
But he did know Dugu Bo previous level.
His gaze turned toward the direction of Dugu Bo released aura, and Emperor Xue Ye eyes grew deep.
"93, East Palace..."
"Are you declaring your allegiance now?"
"Do you think there's no issue with Qinghe now?"
"Am I really overthinking this?"
"Well, of course. In the battle for the throne, there's no such thing as a clean fight. Heh heh..."
Meanwhile.
The hidden powerful forces also looked toward the direction of Dugu Bo aura.
They were surprised and shocked by Dugu Bo breakthrough.
Now, suddenly "going wild" and showing his power, they didn't understand either.
Dugu Bo, who had always been reserved, was now acting so arrogantly. What exactly was he trying to do?
