Chapter 21: Successful capture, two years have passed in an instant.
The Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, the Crown Prince's Residence.
Following Qian Renxue to her secretly built basement, several familiar figures soon appeared before Qiu Hougong.
"Tang San, Flander, Zhao Wuji, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar..."
Qiu Hougong glanced at Tang San and the others who were locked in the prison and were in a coma, then pulled Qian Renxue's slender waist into his arms. "Sister, when did you catch them? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I received the message from my subordinates yesterday, and it was just delivered this morning. And..."
Qian Renxue smiled and leaned against Qiu Hougong's chest, then lowered her head and gently blew into his ear, "It's not just them, I also caught someone else, someone who has some connection with our mother."
"Is it related to our mother?"
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Qiu Hougong realized that someone he wanted to see was missing from the prison cell. "Where is he?"
"Oh? It seems you already guessed it, Xiao Qiu..."
Seeing Qiu Hougong's expression, Qian Renxue smiled and pointed forward, then said, "The innermost part. I was also surprised when I first heard his name. I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain."
"I was surprised too. Let's go take a look."
Qiu Hougong nodded, then put his arm around Qian Renxue and walked forward.
Reaching the deepest part, Qiu Hougong looked into the interior of the prison.
Inside the prison, a man in tattered clothes, with gray hair, and who looked to be in his fifties, lay unconscious on the ground.
"Sis, shall we go inside and take a look?"
Qiu Hougong looked at Qian Renxue and said.
"it is good."
Qian Renxue nodded, then said to the guards standing watch in front of the prison, "Open the door."
"Yes, my lord."
The guard said respectfully, then turned and opened the cell door.
Upon entering the cell, the guard immediately brought out two chairs, placed them in a suitable position, and then quickly left.
"Sister, please sit down..."
Qiu Hougong took Qian Renxue's hand and sat down together, then looked at the man lying on the ground, "Is he Yu Xiaogang?"
"Yes, he's the son of Yu Yuanzhen, the current head of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. When he was young, he came to Spirit City because of a mutation in his spirit, and later met and fell in love with our mother..."
Qian Renxue recounted to Qiu Hougong the stories she knew about Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang, her grip tightening from a light touch. "Originally, I could somewhat understand why Yu Xiaogang never returned after leaving Wuhun City. After all, the situation was against him at the time, and enduring it might have given him an opportunity in the future. But I never expected that he would fall in love with another woman just a year after leaving my mother, completely disregarding her situation!"
"Sis, don't be angry..."
Qiu Hougong gently patted Qian Renxue's hand and comforted her, "Let's collect some interest for Mother first."
"Um……"
Qian Renxue nodded, "I've already written to Mother about this. We'll teach Yu Xiaogang a lesson before sending him back to Wuhun City, and then..."
"Leave the matter of sending Yu Xiaogang back to Wuhun City to me."
Qiu Hougong said directly.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you..."
Qian Renxue nodded gently to Qiu Hougong, then turned to look at Yu Xiaogang with icy eyes, "Now, what method should we use to make him 'enjoy' 'enjoy'?"
"I have a few methods, but I don't know if they can meet your needs..."
Qiu Hougong's lips curled into a murderous smile, then he leaned close to Qian Renxue's ear and whispered his thoughts.
"Okay, Xiao Qiu, your idea is really good. Let's do it your way."
Qian Renxue nodded in satisfaction after listening to Qiu Hougong's suggestion, then raised her hand and used her soul power to wake Yu Xiaogang up.
"Um...where is this?"
Yu Xiaogang covered his head with his hands, still not understanding what was happening, when he suddenly heard someone calling his name, "Yu Xiaogang".
"Who? Who's calling me?"
Yu Xiaogang looked up and saw Qiu Hougong and Qian Renxue staring at him coldly. Only then did he remember that he had been arrested.
"Who are you? Why are you arresting me? Where is Flander?"
Yu Xiaogang looked at Qiu Hougong and said.
"You'll find out who we are in a moment, as for the others..."
Qiu Hougong looked at Yu Xiaogang and said, word by word, "You should worry about yourself first."
"What do you want? Let me tell you, I am..."
Seeing Qiu Hougong's strange look, he knew trouble was about to strike and hurriedly spoke, but before he could finish, Qian Renxue interrupted him with a slap from afar...
For the next two and a half hours, Qiu Hougong and Qian Renxue each used their unique skills to deal with Yu Xiaogang in a clear and thorough manner.
During this time, Flander and the others were awakened by Yu Xiaogang's shrill screams, but before they could figure out what had happened, they were knocked unconscious again by the cell guards.
"That's enough, Sister Xue..."
Seeing Yu Xiaogang faint for the tenth time, Qiu Hougong, who had already obtained the information he wanted, deactivated the Scorpion King Armor Mode and then said gently to Qian Renxue beside him, "Let's stop here for now. We'll leave the rest to Mother to handle later."
"Alright, let him go for now."
Having vented her anger slightly, Qian Renxue nodded, and then the two walked together out of the prison...
The following morning, Qiu Hougong, having 'quickly' escaped from Qian Renxue's encirclement, returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
As soon as Qiu Hougong returned to his room, he was surrounded by Xiao Wu and several other girls who had already woken up and were waiting for him to come back.
"Little Qiu-ge~ You're finally back. I missed you so much~"
Xiao Wu clung to Qiu Hougong's arm and acted coquettishly.
"I miss you so much, Brother Qiu."
Ning Rongrong also spoke up, acting coquettishly.
"I miss you all too..."
Qiu Hougong embraced Xiaowu and Ning Rongrong, and also took the hands of Zhu Zhuqing and Ling Yuan, who were standing silently to the side. "I have good news for everyone. Flander and the others have been captured. They are currently being held by Sister Xue'er."
"Ah? Flanders and the others have already caught them? That's great!"
Xiao Wu was delighted to hear Qiu Hou Gong's words, and the other three women were also happy about it.
"Once Sister Xue'er has resolved the major issues, I'll take you there. We can settle any scores then..."
As Qiu Hougong spoke, he brought up another matter, "But besides this matter, I have something else to tell everyone, which is that I have to leave Tiandou City for a while and go back to the Spirit Hall."
"Oh? When are you leaving, Brother Qiu, and when will you be back?"
Ning Rongrong held Qiu Hougong's large hand with great reluctance and said.
"I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'll be back in no time."
Qiu Hougong gently rubbed Ning Rongrong's head to comfort her.
"Little Qiu, the distance from Heaven Dou City to Spirit City is quite long. Do you need me to accompany you back?"
Ling Yuan asked.
"Sister Lingyuan, don't worry, Sister Xue'er has already made arrangements."
Qiu Hougong smiled.
"Okay, we'll wait for you here."
Ling Yuan nodded.
"Alright, let's not talk about that now. Let's go out and have some fun. I've found another interesting place..."
Qiu Hougong changed the subject, and then the group walked out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, chatting and laughing...
The next morning, after telling Ning Fengzhi that there was no need to send anyone to capture Flanders and the others, Qiu Hougong left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School amidst the reluctant gazes of Xiao Wu and the other girls. Then, under Qian Renxue's careful arrangement, he took Yu Xiaogang, who had puffy eyes and a spiky face, and embarked on a journey back to Wuhun City.
Three days later, Qiu Hougong successfully brought Yu Xiaogang, who had fainted from hunger, to Wuhun City.
"Young Master, you're back."
At the north gate of Wuhun City, Chrysanthemum Douluo, dressed in a golden robe, bowed to Qiu Hougong.
"Grandpa Ju, no need for formalities..."
Seeing this, Qiu Hougong reached out and helped Ju Douluo up, then pointed to Yu Xiaogang, who was being dragged on the ground, and said, "I'll go to the Pope's Palace to pay my respects to my mother first. Please take this man to the dungeon."
"Yes, my lord."
Chrysanthemum Douluo accepted Yu Xiaogang's gift respectfully, then watched Qiu Hougong leave.
Upon arriving at the Papal Palace, Qiu Hougong immediately saw Bibi Dong, dressed in papal robes, reclining on the papal chair with her eyes closed, resting.
"Xiao Qiu, you're back."
Opening her beautiful eyes, Bibi Dong saw that Qiu Hou Gong had returned and immediately got up and quickly went to Qiu Hou Gong's side, then hugged him tightly.
"Mother, I'm back."
Qiu Hougong reached out and hugged Bibi Dong's supple waist in response.
"You silly child, you've been gone for so long and you haven't even come home..."
Bibi Dong gently scolded Qiu Hougong, then straightened up and carefully examined Qiu Hougong's body, "Let your mother see if there's anything that's gotten thinner."
"Mother, I'm alright..."
Qiu Hougong smiled and pressed down the jade-like hands that kept groping her body. "How have you been lately? Have you been getting enough rest?"
"It's alright, everything is going smoothly at the Spirit Hall..."
Bibi Dong smiled and then took Qiu Hougong's hand and walked towards her papal chair.
The two sat on the papal chair, chatting and laughing. After a few minutes, Qiu Hougong began to talk about Yu Xiaogang, "Mother, Yu Xiaogang is in the dungeon right now, you see..."
"What am I looking at? What am I looking at..."
When Qiu Hougong mentioned Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong didn't react in any particular way. "Do whatever you want with him. Don't worry about anything else."
"Ah? Mother, you..."
Qiu Hougong was somewhat surprised to hear Bibi Dong's words. He had originally thought that Bibi Dong still had feelings for Yu Xiaogang, whether it was love or hate. However, judging from Bibi Dong's expression just now and the fact that the system hadn't issued any notification sound, Bibi Dong had now completely let go of Yu Xiaogang.
"Silly boy……"
Bibi Dong reached out and touched Qiu Hougong's face. "The past is the past, and your mother doesn't care. The only things your mother cares about now are you, Xue'er, and Nana."
"I understand, Mother."
Seeing Bibi Dong's reaction, Qiu Hougong not only abandoned his plan to immediately go to the dungeon to torture Yu Xiaogang, but also felt happy for Bibi Dong. After all, his main purpose in bringing Yu Xiaogang back was to help Bibi Dong resolve her inner conflicts, and now that Bibi Dong's inner conflicts had been resolved, Qiu Hougong could continue with his original plan...
Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two years, with his own unremitting efforts and the help of the system, Qiu Hougong successfully broke through to level 77 and also obtained the super-suppressed version of the ability - Super Beast Armament.
Besides these, several major events also occurred throughout the Douluo Continent.
"Oh, isn't this our Empress returning? Welcome, welcome!"
In a courtyard within the Spirit Hall, Qiu Hougong, dressed in a black and gold robe, walked with a smile to Qian Renxue, who was wearing a white dress, and then pulled her into his arms, saying...
A year ago, the ailing Emperor Xue Ye passed the throne to Xue Qinghe before his death. After Xue Ye's passing, Xue Qinghe went all out and purged all Xue family members and supporters except for Xue Ke. He then launched a war against the various kingdoms and duchies within the empire, intending to completely seize control of the entire Heaven Dou Empire from the Spirit Hall.
Upon learning of the civil war within the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire initially intended to seize the opportunity to gain a share of the spoils. However, their efforts were thwarted by the Spirit Hall, leaving them with no choice but to focus on strengthening their internal power in order to prevent and respond to potential future wars.
"You brat, stop teasing me."
Qian Renxue gently pushed Qiu Hougong's chest and explained shyly.
Besides ascending to the throne, Qian Renxue's own strength has not diminished.
Now, her soul power cultivation has reached level 79, and her combat strength is the second strongest among Qiu Hougong's girlfriends.
"I wasn't teasing you, Sister Xue'er. What Xiao Qiu said is all true."
Hu Liena, dressed in a light purple dress, walked up to the two of them and said with a sweet laugh.
Hu Liena has now become the new Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, and her own strength has reached level 65, which is higher than Xie Yue and Yan.
"Yes, yes, what Brother Qiu said is true."
Ning Rongrong, wearing a light blue dress, ran over and said with a smile.
Since Ning Rongrong's soul power level broke through to level 48 and she consumed the Qiluo Tulip that Qiu Hougong bought from the system shop, evolving her martial soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Ning Rongrong was officially designated by her father, Ning Fengzhi, as the next sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. However, even so, Ning Rongrong, who wholeheartedly wanted to stay by Qiu Hougong's side, did not stay in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to study with Ning Fengzhi, but instead settled down in Martial Soul City with Qiu Hougong.
"Alright, Nana, Rongrong. Stop teasing Xue'er with Brother Qiu and come sit down."
Xiao Wu, wearing a pink miniskirt and white stockings, spoke first. Then she pulled Qiu Hougong and Qian Renxue to sit down at the dining table.
After two years of diligent training and with the help of Qiu Hougong, Xiao Wu's soul power level has broken through to level 52, and her combat strength has also been greatly improved.
"Xiao Qiu, stop fooling around. Today is your fourteenth birthday, make a wish."
Sitting next to Qiu Hougong, Bibi Dong, dressed in a deep purple dress, spoke softly.
Unlike two years ago, Bibi Dong, now fully equipped with both of her spirit rings, has finally reached level ninety-nine in spirit power. Her combat strength has also surpassed that of Qian Daoliu, making her the strongest person in the Spirit Hall.
