Chapter 309: The Time for Revenge Has Come!
"This Kong is too ruthless..."
"Wuwu..."
Star Luo Empire, somewhere.
Xiao Wu rubbed her head, speaking with some sorrow.
She was clearly a soul beast transformed into human form. When she reached the Soul Sage realm, she didn't need to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings.
It was only when she reached the Soul Douluo or Titled Douluo levels that she needed to hunt soul beasts to acquire soul rings.
However, after Kong became a god and altered the rules of Douluo, she could still condense soul rings on her own, but she still had to be struck by lightning—undergo a tribulation.
It was truly somewhat pitiful.
"I don't even need the soul rings you gave me, so why does Xiao Wu Jie still have to be struck...?"
Xiao Wu murmured faintly, feeling so frustrated!
Just now, Xiao Wu had passed her lightning tribulation, the one for the Soul Emperor level. After so many years, she had finally broken through to the Soul Emperor rank.
"The time for revenge has come!"
After a while, Xiao Wu murmured again, the corners of her mouth slightly lifting.
At this moment, Xiao Wu was vastly different from a few years ago, both in terms of her figure and her strength.
Having reached the Soul Emperor level, she was ready to start preparing her revenge!
Tang San, Tang Hao, and also Flender, Oscar, and the others—the events that happened back in the Star Dou Great Forest were something she could never forget.
Da Ming, Er Ming, and the death of that Soft Bone Rabbit—she would take her revenge one by one.
"My current strength is decent enough. Dealing with Oscar and the others is no problem at all."
"But Flender, Tang San, and Tang Hao are a bit..."
"If Tang San is only around level sixty-something, killing him isn't impossible..."
One would be launching a sneak attack, while the other would be completely unprepared—her chances of success were high.
Xiao Wu was very confident. The current her, even Tang San and Tang Hao wouldn't recognize.
After resting for two days, Xiao Wu finally set off toward the Heaven Dou Empire.
She didn't know where her enemies were, but she could start by searching in Heaven Dou City!
Back then, didn't Tang San and the others go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?
She'd go inquire about it first.
The scene shifted to Heaven Dou City.
Two days ago, Kong had obtained the Asura Divine Sword. However, he didn't feel much joy over this super divine artifact.
For some reason, the Spirit Hall seemed to be searching for people with the Deathgod Domain recently, which left Kong somewhat puzzled.
He couldn't figure out what Bibi Dong was up to.
The Deathgod Domain—he had it, didn't he?
He even had the inheritance of the Shura God!
"Kong, the Ice Silkworm stockings are ruined..."
At that moment, the Raiden Shogun held something in her hand, something very transparent and...
Hearing this, Kong's old face flushed. He quickly took the item from the Shogun's hand and said, "It's fine, we'll just go buy another pair."
As for why they were ruined, that remained unknown.
The Raiden Shogun's face, unusually, turned red. She nodded, somewhat confused about why Kong... ahem.
Not long after, the two left the hotel and started strolling around.
Kong's attire had changed drastically from before, now looking very modern.
T-shirt, shorts, flip-flops...
The Raiden Shogun's outfit was similarly a T-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops...
Unlike Kong, the cartoon character on her T-shirt was extremely distorted!
Ordinary people wouldn't be able to pull that off.
Their outfits were custom-made. Because they dressed this way and looked so good, many merchants saw a business opportunity and began to imitate them!
At first, people found it hard to accept. They'd secretly buy the clothes and only wear them when alone.
After all, many outfits in the Douluo Continent were very elaborate, and some were meticulously designed.
They represented a family, a faction, or even a type of martial soul.
Gradually, as more people started wearing such clothes, everyone began going out dressed like this.
Unless it was a special festival or an important occasion, few people would stick to old-fashioned ways.
As the two walked, they eventually arrived at the familiar place—Shui Ningshuang's small shop.
By now, the shop had expanded significantly, doubling in size, a clear sign that Shui Ningshuang's business was thriving more and more.
Seeing Kong and the Raiden Shogun walk in, Shui Ningshuang was momentarily stunned, a trace of surprise flashing across her face.
She genuinely hadn't expected that this person, who had already become a god, would still personally visit her little shop!
Glancing at the other customers in the store, Shui Ningshuang didn't reveal Kong's identity. Instead, she said, "So it's two distinguished guests! I was wondering why there were magpies flying at the door today!"
"Please come in, please come in!"
The customers in the shop glanced at Kong and the Raiden Shogun. For the shop owner to call them distinguished guests, their status must be extraordinary!
After looking at Kong and the Raiden Shogun, the crowd averted their gazes.
They were indeed stunned by their appearance!
But staring at them for too long would be far too rude.
"Shopkeeper, hope you've been well!"
Kong nodded with a smile.
"Hello."
The Raiden Shogun nodded and spoke.
"With you two visiting my little shop, how could I not be well?"
"The usual, then?"
Shui Ningshuang asked with a smile tugging at her lips.
Few men stepped into her shop to buy clothes for their girlfriends or wives, but Kong was different—he came almost every time.
"Hm, the usual, and..."
At this point, Kong paused, a bit embarrassed, but he still said it: "Do you still have those Ice Silkworm stockings?"
"Or other styles would work too. The Shogun quite likes them."
Hearing this, the Raiden Shogun gave Kong a puzzled look. She did like them, but it seemed Kong liked them even more...
Shui Ningshuang's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she tilted her head, giving Kong a knowing look!
She had tested the quality of the Ice Silkworm stockings herself. Unless they were deliberately damaged, they could be worn for a very long time.
Kong: "..."
The first social death after becoming a god.
Thankfully, it was just the shopkeeper...
"Alright, distinguished guest, please wait a moment!"
In no time, Shui Ningshuang prepared a variety of clothes, packing them into large and small bags before handing them to Kong.
After Kong stored the items away, he took out a storage gold card and offered it to Shui Ningshuang.
No matter how strong one was, you still had to pay for purchases.
But Shui Ningshuang shook her head and said, "Distinguished guest, have you forgotten? A few years ago, your milk tea recipe became a share in the business."
"These past few years, we couldn't reach you, so we've been sending your dividends to your grandfather."
"Last year's dividends came in, but when we went to your grandfather's place a while ago, he wasn't there, so I've been holding onto them for now."
Shui Ningshuang explained.
Thanks to Kong's milk tea recipe, Tianshui Academy had been brought back from the brink. Now, they no longer had to worry about funding.
For the past few years, Kong had been in seclusion, unreachable, so they couldn't deliver his dividends to him.
Kong might not care about these gold soul coins, but those who benefited from them couldn't ignore it.
Every year, they would make a trip to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and hand the money over to Yu Yuanzhen.
The last time they went, Yu Yuanzhen wasn't there...
