Chapter 499 - 351: Take Care of My Little Cub

"You...!"

The Southern King glared angrily.

"Lord Southern King... Don’t be angry, let’s return to the Imperial City first."

Liu Xinggong quickly advised.

But in his heart, he was cursing.

The Southern King’s doppelganger behaves like a brainless fool. Can’t he see the current situation at all?

Everyone in the Imperial City knows Jing Shishu’s temper.

If you get him angry, he won’t care about anything.

If this doppelganger gets blown up, it’s a big question if they’ll even survive going back.

Then he quickly gave a hint to Dong Ke.

"That’s right, Lord Southern King, let’s return to the Imperial City first."

But seeing that the Southern King continued to stare intently at Jing Shishu,

Sighing, the two of them supported him on either side, regardless of his protests, and resolutely flew him away from there.

As he watched the three disappear into the horizon, Chen Xuan came to Jing Shishu’s side, curiously asking, "This Southern King’s doppelganger seems a bit off here."

He pointed to his head.

"It’s more than just off, it’s as brainless as a pig."

Jing Shishu scoffed disdainfully.

"To think a sliver of soul can create a perfect doppelganger, the Southern King is really daydreaming."

Back then, the Southern King even visited the National Preceptor to create this doppelganger.

He asked for the key among them.

But the advice from the National Preceptor was that to create a perfect doppelganger, at least half of the soul must be divided, yet that would be too damaging to the main body.

Unyielding, the Southern King eventually only divided around ten percent.

In the beginning, it was fine.

But as time went on, the issues gradually surfaced.

In the end, it became a disaster.

An attitude of unrivaled arrogance, fearing nothing.

"How is a doppelganger refined?"

Faced with Chen Xuan’s inquiry, Jing Shishu’s expression suddenly turned serious and warned, "Refining a doppelganger is not only troublesome, but it also requires a soul, which you should know once you reach the Dao Realm."

"Yes, as a junior, I’m aware of that."

Chen Xuan nodded slightly.

"The soul is fundamental to a Martial Artist. Cutting the soul has a great impact on your cultivation. Only an old fellow like the Southern King, with no hope, would take this step."

"You... a genius among geniuses, shouldn’t abandon a bright future for a doppelganger."

"Thank you for the warning, Lord Jing."

He bowed slightly, "However, I still wish to know, and I have my thoughts, so I ask Lord Jing to enlighten me."

"You...!"

Jing Shishu looked at him helplessly, feeling that everything he said just now was in vain, as none of it was listened to.

"Think it over, I’ll return to the Imperial City in three days, if by then you still want it... I’ll tell you then."

After speaking, he left without giving him a chance to respond, tearing space and leaving.

"Hehe!"

Chen Xuan suddenly chuckled softly, the little old man is rather attentive.

Three days!

It’s exactly the deadline Emperor Yu gave to the Southern King.

However, he was determined to obtain the method for refining a doppelganger, although the soul affecting cultivation, for him... it shouldn’t be significant.

Creating a doppelganger... might bring unexpected surprises in the future.

"Commander Jing was right, you can tell from the Southern King’s doppelganger, he’s considered lucky, the unlucky ones are just fools."

At this moment, Pang Sida approached him, also trying to persuade him.

"I have yet to thank Patriarch Pang, truly sacrificing yourself to help, which deeply touched me."

Chen Xuan cupped his hands and smiled.

"Those words make me feel ashamed, Prince Xuan had everything prepared, I’m really a bit superfluous."

Punching to kill one at the second level of the Dao Realm.

If the Southern King’s doppelganger hadn’t appeared, these few wouldn’t have been enough for him to kill.

Plus, he actually managed to invite Jing Shishu, truly a solid background, though whether it’s due to Princess Qin Ying’s face or something else.

"That’s not entirely true, anyway, I will remember this favor from Patriarch Pang, and will welcome you at Prince Xuan’s Mansion in the future if you have any needs."

Then he looked at the figures emerging in mid-air.

All these were people from the major families, wanting to come after the battle ended.

"Hmph!"

Chen Xuan snorted coldly, then cupped his hands to Pang Sida, "Here come the flies, I’ll return to the Prince’s Mansion first. Farewell!"

"Farewell!"

Pang Sida cupped his hands in reply.

As soon as Chen Xuan departed, those people arrived.

"You certainly came at the most opportune time!"

With a mocking tone, Pang Sida then stepped away into the air, too lazy to deal with these people.

It’s often said that giving aid in time of need is more valued than adding beauty to beauty, but these people... they care not to even add a flower, only wanting to freeload.

As if everyone else was a fool.

He truly looked down on these big families from the Molan Mansion.

Short-sighted and narrow-minded.

...

Upon returning to the Prince’s Mansion, Chen Xuan found Gu Pengyou, Xian Si, and Qin Ke waiting for him.

"You sure hid it deep enough."

Xian Si couldn’t help but exclaim as he saw Chen Xuan approaching.

To have secretly summoned Jing Shishu from the Imperial City in advance without telling anyone, truly shrewd.

"That was the Southern King!"

"Had I not prepared multiple plans, I’d be finished by now."

Chen Xuan sat at the topmost seat.

Truly exhausted, but fortunately the crisis was averted, and now Ning Xin and the others could remain worry-free.

The process, however, was truly perilous.

That Southern King’s doppelganger, at the fourth level of the Dao Realm, left him powerless to retaliate.

"Rules!"

What exactly were the rules, he forgot to ask Jing Shishu earlier.

"By the way, Master, what about these things?"

Qin Ke revealed a pile of black flags in his hand, which were what he had been tasked with earlier.
