Douluo: System Cross-Dressing as Qian Renxue Empress Consort

Qian Renxue was not the least bit embarrassed and acted as if nothing had happened, looking at Li Yu with a confused expression.

Qian Renxue had seen Zhu Zhuqing efforts with her own eyes.

She understood and sympathized with Zhu Zhuqing.

At this moment, seeing Zhu Zhuqing being insulted while Li Yu acted as if nothing was wrong, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

"Isn't this your 'little brother'?" she thought. "Your 'little brother' is being bullied, and as the 'big brother,' you're not doing anything? Isn't that pathetic?"

In reality, if it were a different situation, she would have spoken up long ago.

But unfortunately, her current identity was 'Xue Qinghe,' the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, and interfering with someone else's "family matter" in such a setting wasn't appropriate.

At least not until she ascended to the throne.

It would be easy for others with ill intentions to use that against her.

But Li Yu was different. He was currently the captain of the Qian Yu Academy team and also Zhu Zhuqing team leader. If one of his team members was insulted, it would be reasonable for him to step in.

Li Yu understood exactly what Qian Renxue meant. He was also aware of the situation.

However, Qian Renxue was too impatient. Did she really think that he would allow Zhu Zhuqing to be insulted without taking action?

"Cough, cough." Li Yu lightly cleared his throat.

His voice wasn't loud, but in the quiet "melon-eating" atmosphere of the crowd, with the help of his mental energy, it was particularly "clear."

"Two of you, is it appropriate to criticize my team members in front of me?" Li Yu voice wasn't loud, and it seemed devoid of any strong emotions, but everyone could feel the coldness in his words.

Everyone turned their attention to Li Yu and then glanced at Zhu Zhuqing behind him.

It was only then that they realized there was another "melon master" present!

Dai Weisi, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuyun in the arena froze, their expressions subtly changing.

Dai Weisi quickly regained his composure, narrowing his eyes. "Miss Li Yu, in what capacity are you speaking right now?"

Without waiting for Li Yu to answer, his gaze shifted to 'Xue Qinghe' beside him, and he mocked, "I've heard that Heaven Dou's Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is gentle and refined, but today I've truly seen the full picture. You're quite 'refined' indeed!"

Clearly, he was mocking Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince, for being unable to manage his own consort.

'Xue Qinghe' closed her eyes and appeared to be ignoring everything.

Dai Weisi clenched his fist, feeling his anger rise but restrained himself.

"Insulting my team members and now insulting my... husband?" Li Yu chuckled, though his smile was cold.

He stood up and looked toward the prominent figures on the stage.

With a faint smile, he said, "Today was supposed to be a serious occasion, but unfortunately, some of the underlings didn't want to keep things serious, which has likely turned into a joke for all of you."

The prominent figures didn't respond much. They were just "melon-eating" like everyone else, more curious about what Li Yu would do next.

Li Yu stopped smiling, his gaze turning cold as he looked at Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun in the arena. "May I ask if the distinguished guests here could show some courtesy and allow me a moment to handle some personal matters?"

"What do you think this is…" A Platinum Bishop from the Spirit Hall suddenly turned cold, reprimanding Li Yu, his oppressive aura immediately bearing down on him.

Qian Renxue opened her eyes and looked at the Platinum Bishop.

Her true identity was known only to a few, and since this was just the third round of the tournament, the second-round participant from Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, had not arrived.

This meant that the "big figures" weren't as big as they seemed, and there wasn't even a Title Douluo present among them.

Though Ning Fengzhi was present, the Sword Douluo Chen Xin wasn't, and they were communicating in the shadows.

Before Qian Renxue could react, a light, mocking voice rang out, "Handling a little personal matter won't take long. Why be so stingy?"

Qian Renxue froze for a moment and turned to see a white-haired old man sitting in the seat next to Li Yu.

The audience on the other side gasped in surprise. "Grandfather!"

It was Dugu Bo.

He hadn't released his aura, but with just a look, the Platinum Bishop's oppressive aura shattered, leaving the man drenched in cold sweat, trembling, and hurriedly saying, "I greet Your Majesty!"

Everyone's expressions changed immediately, and they hurriedly bowed toward Dugu Bo position, saying, "I greet Your Majesty!"

"Well, well, old poison master, you've improved again. You actually dare to show up in Spirit Hall City?" A faint laugh sounded from the next moment.

Following that, a somewhat... flamboyant figure of the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo in black armor appeared.

There was a history between Chrysanthemum and Dugu Bo.

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo had once pursued and nearly killed Dugu Bo, but in the end, Prince Xue Xing of Heaven Dou had forced them to retreat with the Heaven Dou army, saving Dugu Bo life.

As a result, Dugu Bo was willing to assist Prince Xue Xing with certain tasks.

Now, enemies were meeting once again, and the atmosphere became tense.

Even Qian Renxue palms were sweating.

This was the very situation she had been worried about.

Many people close to Li Yu had enmities with Spirit Hall, and when everything was revealed, how would she navigate the situation? What would Li Yu choose?

Everything was uncertain.

She felt helpless and could only remain silent as she sent out a thought, transmitting a message.

"Heh, Chrysanthemum, what can you do to me now?" Dugu Bo stood up.

Yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, black!

Nine Soul Rings rose from his feet, and his 96th-level Super Douluo cultivation was released without any concealment.

"What!"

Not only Chrysanthemum, Ghost Douluo, and the hidden Sword Douluo Chen Xin, but everyone present, who had been paying attention to this moment, was stunned.

Dugu Bo had jumped from his previous 91st-level Soul Power to an amazing 96th-level in such a short time!

How was this possible?!

Everyone's faces became grim.

At the 96th-level, Dugu Bo poison abilities must have reached an unimaginable level!

From this moment on, every force would need to reconsider the consequences of offending Dugu Bo!

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo both released their Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—while their faces turned serious.

"Old poison master, this is Spirit Hall City. Have you thought about the consequences?" Chrysanthemum's tone was no longer calm.

"Heh heh." Dugu Bo laughed and then sat back down.

He added, "I'm not so foolish as to ignore the situation, but our enmity is something that must be settled sooner or later."

After a pause, he continued, "As I said earlier, a little time to handle some personal matters. Surely, everyone can spare a bit of time. It's not like anyone is too busy for this, right?"

With that, Dugu Bo glanced around, seemingly seeking the opinion of the crowd.

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo both seemed a little hesitant.

The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament was being held in Spirit Hall, and the order here represented Spirit Hall's face. How could they allow "small matters" to take priority and "make exceptions"? If that happened, where would Spirit Hall's face be?
