[Douluo] Dream of Thorns

The Black Street is a bit special in the gray area.

At the beginning, it might really be a street with a few gangsters; however, this place is located in a special place, extremely close to the border of the two empires, and the city itself is the richest city in the Barak Kingdom, so it is easy developed.Suotuo City itself is rich and known as the capital of food and grass; the other is next to the Star Dou Forest, which is more dangerous.After these two things, it is easier to get some powerful gadgets or some valuable things here.Coupled with its superior location, it is quite suitable as a place for smugglers to smuggle and sell goods, and the fringe areas of the city gradually became chaotic.

Black Street was originally used as a place for smugglers to wash their goods, like a mercenary market.After a few years, a very powerful soul master came here, washed the black street with thunder, and established the first force; this is the first private force to appear in the black street.Later, it gradually developed like this, including well-known evil forces in the world who are too bored to build a stronghold, or more ambitious gangsters who want to become bigger and revenge on society, or just want to do some black business to make some money, black street The sphere of influence of people is getting bigger and bigger, and the area referred to by the word black street is also getting bigger and bigger.There were several major power changes in the middle, usually because the power was too much and too chaotic, and finally a capable person was raised like a Gu; or it was calm for too long, someone provoked troubles, and the whole balance was destroyed as a result .This kind of thing happens once every twenty years or so, and the next reorganization of the power structure is only a few years away.

Meng Xuanyue's idea was to cleanse this time.

Now the area of ​​Black Street is very large, but the bigger it is, the harder it is to manage. No one can explain why such a rich city has such a large slum.It's not because of their own preferences that those big people always live in the basement. They are all forced by the heavy soldiers near Soto City-there are no serious people here who start their homes.Not to mention the idiots of the seven rings who have climbed up in the past few years, who keep showing off, wishing they could be better than the royal relatives; isn't this rushing to let people investigate?Kill these two people, and they can live a more stable life...

So be it.

After making up her mind, Meng Xuanyue was not in a hurry; she had to put Hu Jinwei first and raise her position.Ji Tong's power has been released by her, this girl is still a little messy.She also said to teach her a lesson before, but when Ji Tong came back, Meng Xuanyue found that she didn't know where to start.She had vented it a while ago, and now she probably knows that Meng Xuanyue looks at her fiercely, and always finds something to occupy her, and there is no hope for that thing. Recently, she always looks lifeless and lifeless. Very well, if you scold, you probably won't listen to it; it's useless to beat her, this girl has been used to it since she was a child.Not to mention poison, although Rose Thorn doesn't have a spirit ring, it has a level of more than 40, so feeding poison is useless.Meng Xuanyue also knows that the girl from the Zhu family is most likely responsible for her current state, but there is no way to snatch her back, nor can she persuade her, so she can only go, hoping that Ji Tong can figure it out on her own a little.

She can't control the affairs of young people.

When reorganizing Hu Jinwei's forces, Ji Tong had a rather boring time; Meng Xuanyue arranged a lot of teaching courses on business management for her, and spent almost three months suffocating in the room all day.After that, Ji Tong received a new task, that is, to interfere with the management of the two seven-ring soul masters as much as possible within the sphere of influence of the two seven-ring soul masters. They can do anything by killing and stealing goods, but they can't leave traces of the Meng family.This was a preparation for killing these two major forces in the future, and it was for consumption; therefore, Hu Jinwei and her territory were also separated, posing as if Ji Tong threw off Meng Xuanyue and went it alone.As the new leader, Ji Tong would bully the weak on his own when he had nothing to do; coupled with the fact that there were many people under his command, it was easy to see the leader's handling style.Meng Xuanyue found that the girl was becoming more and more lifeless, and she always felt that she was developing in the direction of wanting nothing—it can't be said that, she still had a little interest in killing, devouring, and doing these things.This directly led to what Ji Tong did more and more like an autistic looking for fun in the territory of the leaders of the two seventh rings, and then of course no one could see what she was looking for.Generally, under a leader, there are ten or so five-ring and twenty four-ring thugs and a large number of second- and third-ring vassals, and Ji Tong can't beat them in a logical group battle; however, she doesn't have to kill people, just harass.The girl Ji Tong ran so fast that she couldn't catch her at all; however, whenever she was free, she harassed the poor fighters under the task target, which really pissed off the two seven rings.There is no possibility of seeking peace, and the election battle seems inevitable; so the situation began to be turbulent as it should be.

She has been doing this for half a year.At this time, Meng Xuanyue met with Ji Tong in private again, in order to inform the time of the official attack.During this period of time, Ji Tong has done a very good job of consuming work, and the rest will not cause much trouble if the rest is wiped out.While explaining, Meng Xuanyue looked at Ji Tong's expression; the dead air was still there, but she always felt a little timid in her eyes, as if she was avoiding something.For some reason, Meng Xuanyue changed the subject inexplicably: "You have devoured a lot of soul power, and you are probably almost level fifty?"

Ji Tong let out an "ah". "I don't think much, maybe forty."

Having said that, she turned her head away, obviously not wanting to continue talking.Meng Xuanyue had nothing to do with her, she just wondered when she would be able to come out.She wanted to ask a few more questions, but Ji Tong seemed very impatient, so she had to briefly introduce the next task, and the conversation ended like this.

This mental state made Meng Xuanyue very disturbed.She originally thought that half a year of Ji Tong's behavior would pass, but now, looking at it, this year has passed, and the death stillness in her eyes has not even faded.She doesn't take it seriously at all if she really wants to talk about bloodthirsty, and it's normal to be a little grumpy all the time; but she is obviously not just like this now, she seems to have no motivation to continue living.When I asked about her level earlier...even Qiang'er didn't have any weight.

Originally, she planned to consume her whimsical thoughts of single-handedly challenging the Xingluo royal family, but now she accidentally consumed her thoughts of life?

Thinking that it's not the time, and the child Ji Tong is not kissing her now, Meng Xuanyue can only wait and see for the time being.It’s just that after those two were wiped out, we made an agreement with the two leaders of the eight rings who were still alive, divided these sites and vigorously rectified them again. After Moyue for two months, Ji Tong still looked the same .Those who killed these days were all high-level soul masters. Meng Xuanyue dared to say that this girl had earned at least five levels of soul power from those dead people; Yes, the soul skill is freezing.However, there is no other movement, Ji Tong just picks up a few disobedient people for fun all day long, other than that, she just stays in the room in a daze—Meng Xuanyue assigned her work before, and now she is free , and began to be in a daze.After waiting like this for another half a month, Meng Xuanyue finally lost her composure.

"Okay, Rose," she said, "come here."

Ji Tong was flipping through the letter delivered by his subordinates at the time, and when Meng Xuanyue said to come to her, she was a little confused.Now the black street is mainly to consolidate power, Meng Xuanyue will not let her intervene in this kind of thing, she is too young.Without replying, Ji Tong put down the things in his hand and turned around on the seat, assuming it was "passed".Meng Xuanyue was not angry either, she came over and pulled another chair to sit down, and asked her softly, "Qiangwei, do you kill people like this every day?"

"Otherwise? There's nothing to do." Ji Tong said, his tone was also Gujing Wubo.Meng Xuanyue looked at her face that looked more and more like Qiang'er, and suddenly felt a little tired. "Qiang'er..." She tilted her head slightly, and put on a look of self-blame, her tone was very lonely, "Your daughter was seduced by a woman outside, even you forgot... ..."

Ji Tong knows the relationship between Meng Xuanyue and her mother, which is why she is still willing to respect Meng Xuanyue as an elder when she is stronger than her.As soon as her mother's name was mentioned, Ji Tong cheered up a little, and went back to her seriously: "I have indeed passed level [-]."

After level 10, the soul tool her mother left for her can probably sense her mother's position.This thing has quite a lot of functions. It is probably a small object made by myself. After all, her mother has a life expectancy of [-] years, so she can probably learn anything she wants to learn.

"Really?" Meng Xuanyue hooked the corners of her lips, with a half-smile. "I also knew you forgot."

"I can't forget it." Ji Tong shook his head, put his head on the back of the chair, and lowered his eyes. "I just... dare not see her, the location is indeed clear."

As soon as she heard that the location was clear, Meng Xuanyue felt heart palpitations for no reason; then she remembered that she was no longer in a position where she could go anywhere, and she felt a little lost again.In this way, she inevitably became a little angry when she spoke: "That's your mother, why dare she not recognize you just because you fell in love with a woman?"

Ji Tong lowered his head even lower. "It's not because of this." Her tone showed some panic and confusion, but it was rarely popular this year. "I just think about what I am like now... I can't let it go, I really want to grab it and I'm afraid that person will blame me... I just, I don't have the face to see her..."

"Shameless?" Meng Xuanyue repeated seemingly lightly, then snorted coldly, and suddenly changed her face. "You still know that you have no face!" She stood up suddenly, and threw out a few small bottles of potion, and the fragments of the glass bottle wiped Ji Tong's eyes, leaving a bloodstain. "Let it go and can't let it go, and you are afraid of this and that, you really don't look like her daughter at all!"

Seeing this, Meng Xuanyue also became anxious.Ji Tong is usually such a good girl, why is she so unable to turn around when it comes to feelings?It's not as good as when I didn't calm down at the time, at least I have a thought; now... tsk!

It's been a long time since no one dared to do this to Ji Tong, and she was a little surprised when he did this suddenly.The two looked at each other for a while, Meng Xuanyue sighed dejectedly, and then threw herself on the chair as if resigned to her fate. "I know you're having a hard time. I've been hiding for so many years, and it's time for Qiang'er to take care of you... At this time, it's time for her to enlighten you. After all, blood is thicker than water, and you should see her. If you're not sure, just think about it." It's open. I won't need you here for a while anyway, so you just go."

It took a long time for Ji Tong to say oh.Meng Xuanyue sat for a while, and suddenly remembered something, and asked her: "I don't know where Qiang'er is now, if it's convenient, I can give you a ride."

Ji Tong pulled a map from the side, recalling the feeling that guided her at that time, while estimating where the ratio should be.After about a breath, she raised her hand and drew a circle on the map: "Here."

Meng Xuanyue sat there without moving.Ji Tong took a look at her, and with a little force on his hand, the map flew out in a whirl, and just stopped in front of Meng Xuanyue.She just glanced at it lightly, and then froze as if uncertain; picked up the map and looked at it several times before Meng Xuanyue raised her head with a complicated look on her face.

"How did she go to the killing capital..."
