Outside a quiet and luxurious room on the top floor of the dueling arena.
DouDou skipped and hopped to a stop at the door, straightened her clothes and hair, and then knocked on the door politely.
"Your Majesty~ Your Majesty~ It's me, DouDou!"
"Come in."
Qin Chen's gentle, smiling voice came from inside the room.
DouDou pushed open the door and entered, only to be momentarily stunned by the scene inside.
Wow, so many beautiful women here!
The spacious room was filled with fragrant aromas, a veritable feast for the eyes.
Dressed in a white gown, Miss Xue'er, with her noble and pure temperament, stood gracefully beside the king.
The stunningly beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure, Liu Erlong, the chief financial officer, was leaning lazily against the window.
The one pouring her tea with a cold expression was Zhu Zhuqing, the king's personal steward, who had a voluptuous figure.
And then there's Catwoman Huaxi, who just made the list, comfortably nestled in the King's arms, occasionally nuzzling him, her face full of contentment.
Wow.
DouDou blinked her big eyes, not feeling embarrassed at all, but instead moving closer.
"Looks like I've arrived just in time!"
She moved directly in front of Qin Chen, deliberately showing off her rather well-proportioned figure.
He even spun around to show off his new spirit ring.
"Your Majesty, look, look! I'm on the list too!"
"Did this make our dueling arena look good? Are there any rewards?"
Looking at the lively DouDou, Qin Chen couldn't help but smile.
After recovering, DouDou became more cheerful and loved life even more than before.
And aren't you worried at all? Aren't you afraid a bunch of people will come and take you away?
Qin Chen smiled and nodded: "That's certainly an honor. I'll give you a raise and double your bonus!"
"oops!"
With a pout, she said, "Who wants that stinky money? I don't need money right now."
She reached out and grabbed Qin Chen's arm, shaking it gently.
"Come shopping with me, come pick flowers with me, okay?"
Upon hearing this, the temperature inside the room seemed to drop a few degrees.
Liu Erlong looked over with a half-smile.
Zhu Zhuqing had just poured the tea and was about to bring it over when she turned around and put it back.
Qian Renxue also turned her head to look at her with a cold face.
Qin Chen hadn't even had a chance to speak.
"Thump, thump."
There was another knock on the door.
This time, the voice wasn't as cheerful as DouDou's; instead, it was calm and restrained.
A clear, cool voice, like an icy spring, rang out from outside the door, filled with utmost respect.
"king."
"Someone outside is looking for Miss Xue'er, saying they've come to take her back."
It was Xue Linglong, who had just stunned everyone in the dueling arena.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue frowned, knowing that the only person who could come looking for her here was Uncle Snake Spear.
He came straight here now, and he seems to be in a hurry.
Could something have happened at the palace?
Although she really wanted to spend more time with Qin Chen, Qian Renxue was someone who could distinguish between what was important and what was not.
"Qin Chen, it seems I have to go now."
Qian Renxue looked at Qin Chen deeply, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.
She hasn't heard the answer to that question yet.
"Wait for me... I'll come find you after I'm done with my work."
After saying that, she didn't wait for Qin Chen's response.
She straightened her skirt, regained her haughty and aloof demeanor, and strode out of the room.
The room fell silent for a moment after Qian Renxue left.
"Da, da, da."
But at this moment, Xue Linglong walked straight to Qin Chen and knelt down on one knee.
Her usually cold and aloof face was now filled with respect.
"Your Majesty, I am reporting to you."
"Because the daily rankings have continuously published information about Huaxi and Doudou."
"There are quite a few people gathered near the dueling arena now."
"Quite a few rats have already infiltrated and are gathering information everywhere."
"Should we just clean up these clueless creatures?"
Normally, she wouldn't need to ask for permission for such a trivial matter, but now, because of the Heavenly Ranking and the chaotic situation, she dared not make a decision casually.
Qin Chen leaned back on the sofa, his face completely expressionless.
"Need not."
"Since they want to find out, let them all come in."
"After all, we're in business, how can we turn away customers?"
"The more people there are, the more benefits they will bring."
Qin Chen tapped the armrest lightly with his fingers a few times as he spoke: "However, we can't break our rules."
"Watching the show is fine, and spending money is welcome, but anyone who causes trouble will be killed on the spot."
A simple sentence, regardless of who it is or what power it comes from.
"It's a bit much trouble for you."
The last sentence made Xue Linglong pause, her head bowed, and a smile appeared on her cool face.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After finishing her report, she did not get up immediately.
Under the watchful eyes of Hua Xi, Zhu Zhuqing, Liu Erlong, and Dou Dou standing nearby.
The Snow Douluo, who was seen as a god of death by outsiders, slowly stretched out his hand.
She gently lifted Qin Chen's right hand, which was resting on his knee.
Then, she gently pressed her pale pink lips onto the back of Qin Chen's hand.
"To clear obstacles for you is the whole meaning of Linglong's life."
If those in the audience outside saw this scene, their eyes would probably pop out and shatter into pieces.
Her lips were cold and soft, and the sensation was clearly transmitted to Qin Chen through the back of his hand. A few seconds later, Xue Linglong reluctantly let go of his hand.
As she stood up and turned to leave, she reverted to her usual aloof and unapproachable demeanor.
"Oh, me too~ Me too~"
Once the man left, DouDou immediately clung to him again, chattering incessantly beside Qin Chen.
Meanwhile, in the dimly lit corridor on the second floor of the dueling arena.
Xue Linglong slowed her pace, raised her hand, and touched her lips with a somewhat infatuated expression.
Her once cold eyes softened into a pool of spring water at that moment.
"king..."
She murmured something to herself, then regained her composure and walked downstairs.
"Da, da, da."
The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor.
In the words of veteran viewers of the dueling arena, it's the countdown to death reaping your life.
Sunset Forest.
The Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, who had been laughing heartily, was now pacing anxiously.
"Oh my, my little darling!"
Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter, who was sitting on the rock in a daze, and tried to persuade her with earnest words.
"Let's go! Let's go now!"
"You've seen this list of beauties, too. If you make it onto the list, those lunatics will definitely pounce on you!"
"Even though Grandpa is a Title Douluo, he can't withstand so many people!"
"Let's find a secluded mountain valley where nobody knows us and hide for a while."
"Can we come back after the list is released, if it's safe?"
Dugu Bo and his generation were fearless.
But this time I'm really scared, I'm afraid something will happen to my precious granddaughter.
Quite a few people know about this place, and they're all crazy!
He believed that if his granddaughter made the list, someone would definitely come looking for her!
However.
Sitting on the rock, Dugu Yan shook her head. Her tone was soft, but her stubbornness was like that of an ox.
"What if I leave and he comes back and can't find me?"
"and..."
She touched her beautiful face, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes.
"You said it yourself, I have a chance to be on the list."
"If I make the list, my name will spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent!"
"He'll definitely come looking for me then!"
Hearing his granddaughter's words, Dugu Bo felt a tightness in his chest and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You...you silly girl!"
"What time is it? You're still thinking about that heartless man?"
"If he wanted to find you, he would have come long ago. Why would he have waited until now?!"
Dugu Bo was so angry that he stomped his feet.
Looking at his granddaughter, who was hopelessly in love, he couldn't bear to hit her or scold her to wake her up; all he could do was sigh to the heavens.
"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan glared at him disapprovingly, "You're not allowed to speak ill of him!"
Oh God, someone please save this old man!
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything, I won't say anything..."
Dugu Bo plopped down on the ground, staring at the Heavenly Ranking with utter despair, praying that he wouldn't be listed.
