Douluo's self has a soul beast clone

After being resurrected.

Li Chang'an had already decided to play it safe.

He must keep a low profile!

The extreme north is too dangerous.

Although this time it was also his bad luck, accidentally walking into a gathering place of Ice Jade Scorpions, and coincidentally the Ice Emperor was inside. Otherwise, even if it were an ordinary hundred-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion, even if he couldn't beat it, he could still escape with his own bloodline's prestige. He wouldn't have lost a life. It was simply too bad luck.

But this encounter also reminded him that his current strength is still very weak. There is a huge gap between him and soul beasts like the Ice Emperor who have hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation. He must at least have the cultivation equivalent to a hundred-thousand-year soul beast to be able to not fear these ferocious beasts.

So before that, he should hide from those ferocious beasts whenever possible. It's not shameful to protect oneself when weak.

Li Chang'an doesn't think he can just mess around because he has nine lives. After all, his resurrection mechanism is not an unsolvable existence. If someone can foresee or sense his resurrection location in advance, then they can kill him one life while he is still in the egg state of reshaping his body.

Then lie in wait at his next rebirth location and kill him again when he resurrects!

If this cycle continues, let alone having nine lives, even having ninety thousand lives would not be enough.

What's more, even if the enemy can't know his resurrection location, they can actually choose not to kill him, but to seal him up or imprison him.

This way, without death, the resurrection mechanism will not be triggered. Li Chang'an will have no way to escape and can only stay in place and be slaughtered.

So the Nine-Infant bloodline's nine lives talent given to Li Chang'an seems very awesome, but in fact, as long as you understand his resurrection mechanism, the enemy has many ways to deal with him. It is not an unsolvable ability.

"Humph! Wait, after I have one hundred thousand years of cultivation, I will get my revenge sooner or later!" The eight-headed giant snake snorted, then tried its best to restrain its aura, while shrinking its body, and began to look for the next prey...

...

Tiandou Royal Academy.

Student dormitory.

Li Chang'an, who was sitting cross-legged on a futon, slowly opened his eyes, feeling one-ninth of his power had disappeared. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. He didn't expect that dying once on the snake body side would cause one-ninth of the power to be lost on the main body side as well.

Damn, it seems that the connection between the main body and the snake body is far closer than he imagined!

The nine lives brought by the bloodline talent are shared by the human body and the snake body. And the damage and loss are also shared by both sides. They suffer together and prosper together.

It seems that I have to be careful in the future and must not just die once because I have nine lives. Otherwise, each time one-ninth of the power is lost, and the growth in strength stagnates, who can bear it.

"Fortunately, although the source power has been weakened, I have not dropped a level. In addition, on the snake body side, the lost head can grow back after hunting and eating a large number of high-level soul beasts. By then, the missing power can be quickly compensated, so it won't drag down my growth progress."

Next.

Li Chang'an entered a period of steady growth. Because he understood the method of hiding soul rings, he had no scruples about absorbing the soul power shared by the snake body. The speed of soul power growth was much faster than before.

Just as he was enjoying the joy of rapid soul power growth, one day news suddenly came from the three education committee members, telling him that the Crown Prince wanted to see him.

Li Chang'an was stunned, the Crown Prince? Isn't that Qian Renxue disguised as Xue Qinghe?

Although he was recruited as a驸马(husband of a princess), he had only met his father-in-law, Emperor Xue Ye, and had not met the rest of the royal family. Not even his nominal fiancée, Xue Ke, let alone this cheap "older brother-in-law."

As for another older brother-in-law, Xue Beng, who was also in the academy, Li Chang'an rarely went out because he was focused on cultivation. He had only heard of this guy, but never seen him.

So this was the first time he met a member of the royal family other than the emperor.

Although Li Chang'an was a little surprised that the other party wanted to see him, he didn't find anything strange about it.

After all, he is the future guardian of the royal family, who is placed with high hopes. As the future emperor, it is normal for "Xue Qinghe" to build a good relationship with him and win him over.

"This day has finally come."

Thinking that he was about to meet the Crown Prince named Xue Qinghe, but actually Qian Renxue in disguise, even Li Chang'an's heart couldn't help but feel a trace of nervousness. After all, if his true talent was exposed, even the Tiandou Royal Family would probably not be able to protect him.

If Qian Renxue wants to kill someone, even if he is the emperor, he will not be spared. The reason why Emperor Xue Ye is still alive now is mainly because if he dies, the empire will be in chaos. So he cannot die temporarily. It's not that she doesn't dare to kill him!

Although "Xue Qinghe" is already the Crown Prince, he has not yet grasped too much power. He must take it slowly, little by little, and gradually grasp the power of the empire. That's why she only gave him chronic poison, and didn't directly assassinate him like she did with those princes.

It's not that she can't, but the time hasn't come yet.

So if Li Chang'an exposes his true talent and causes Qian Renxue to be jealous, then even with Dugu Bo's protection, he will definitely only have a dead end.

Under such circumstances, how could he not be nervous?

...

The agreed meeting place.

Located in the most prosperous area of Tiandou City, Emperor Street.

Li Chang'an came to a quaint teahouse according to the address.

The scale of this teahouse does not seem very large, with only three floors, but it is decorated in a quaint style, giving people a very high-end feeling.

At this time, there are only scattered guests in the teahouse, which seems very quiet. But judging from the luxurious clothes of these people, those who can come here are either rich or noble!

Li Chang'an walked in and went straight to the innermost private room on the second floor, without directly pushing the door in. Instead, he politely knocked on the door first. Just as he was about to speak, a voice came from the room first.

"Is it Brother Chang'an coming?"

This was a man's voice, which seemed very close in every way, "Please come in."

After receiving permission, Li Chang'an reached out and pushed open the door, only to find that there was not only the Crown Prince in the private room. On the contrary, there were actually three people.

They were a young man, a middle-aged man, and an old man.

Among them, the young man was about twenty years old. Although his appearance was not very handsome, he had a straight nose and a dignified appearance. He was wearing a clean blue cloth robe, which gave people a very refreshing feeling. Especially the noble air of being pampered, he was obviously the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) who invited him here.

The other two people.

One has a refined and gentle appearance, with a spotless white robe. He looks about forty years old, with gentle eyes, and looks like an ordinary person.

The other person has white hair and beard, but the skin on his face is as smooth and delicate as a child's, not at all like the skin that an old man of seventy or eighty years old should have. Fully interpreting what is called鶴髮童顏(white hair and youthful face).

Looking at the three people in front of him.

Recalling the original work, Li Chang'an had guesses about the identities of the three people in his heart.
