I can finally get rid of this damn situation where no one is available.
After walking out of Panlong Sword Sect, Duger was in a very happy mood. He was not worried that his master and senior brother would turn against him or run away. What he wanted from the beginning to the end was just the Dragon Fang.
Moreover, if Wu Chang couldn't even take care of two injured people, he would not be worthy of being an alien warrior.
Through the battle with Yu Hongsheng, Duger has almost verified his current martial arts strength. In the case of water around him, no martial artist below the innate level should be his opponent.
But in this world, there are innate masters and even higher masters. With his current abilities, he cannot guarantee his own safety. He must find a way to improve his strength as soon as possible.
It would be best to awaken a skill that assists in attack or defense.
However, how to derive offensive skills from loyalty and trend is indeed a difficult problem...
…
"Master?" Seeing Douge at the entrance of the cave under the moonlight, Luo Shuang put away the dagger in his hand, walked out of the darkness, and asked, "Did you fail?"
"If I fail, I will be pursued by the enemy. Besides, I will never lead them to the princess." Doug frowned and scolded, "Princess, you have been a little lax these days. You have made mistakes in judgment on these trivial matters several times."
"Master, I..." In the moonlight, Luo Shuang looked at the stern-faced Doug. Looking at the face that made her both afraid and loved, her heartbeat inexplicably quickened a few times, and she stumbled and was unable to speak.
"Stretch out your hand." Douge pulled out the cane from his waist and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps I have done too much for the princess recently, which has made the princess lazy. This is my fault. For the sake of Qingwu Kingdom, I must be strict with the princess. Please forgive me."
"Master, I know I was wrong. Can you please stop hitting me?" Luo Shuang looked at the shiny rattan that was touched by Douge. The fear that she had long forgotten surged into her heart. She put her hands behind her back, unwilling to stretch them out.
"Princess, think about your dead father and brother?" Doug's expression became more severe.
"..." Luo Shuang looked at Doug aggrievedly, gritted her teeth, and stretched out her hand.
Snap! The cane in Doug's hand fell down and landed heavily on Luo Shuang's palm.
Ah! With a short scream, a red mark appeared on the palm of Luo Shuang's hand.
She subconsciously pulled her hand back and looked at Doug in astonishment. In her memory, the cane was only used to symbolically whip her, and it had never been as heavy as it was today...
"This whip will make you forget the revenge of your father and brother." Du Ge looked at Luo Shuang coldly and said, "Remember the pain in your palm. The steel knife that Duke Dingguo used to cut your father's neck was a thousand times more painful than this. Please extend your hand again, Princess."
Luo Shuang was stunned for a moment, tears welled up in her eyes. She glared at Doug, then stretched out her hand again in angrily.
Snap! The second whip fell.
Another red mark.
Doug said: "The second whip is for your arrogance and laxity. You have forgotten my teachings. Now, even Wu Chang can see your little tricks. In the future, more and more people will follow you. If you slack off once, others will look down on you. If you slack off ten times, your identity will be like toilet paper, worthless."
The princess endured the pain and looked at Doug without saying a word.
Snap! The third whip fell.
Doug continued, "The third whip is to hit your little girl mentality. From the moment you decided to take revenge, there will be no youth or love in your life. Useless emotions will only harm you and all those who have sacrificed for you."
Luo Shuang's eyes suddenly widened, his heartbeat quickened again, and for a moment he forgot the pain in his palm. He knew, he knew everything!
Luo Shuang swallowed her saliva, her expression a little flustered: "Master, I..."
With a sigh, Du Ge put away the cane and said, "Princess, I know what you are thinking, but you must remember that I am your master. If something happens between you and me, it will be the biggest scandal in the world. It will not do any good to you, me, or the future of Qingwu Kingdom. There is a natural gap between the monarch, his subjects, and his disciples. Whoever crosses it will die."
"I..." Luo Shuang looked at Douge, wanting to say something but stopping herself. At this moment, she suddenly regretted her decision to become his disciple. She had never expected that the word "master" would eventually become a prison for her.
"Unless one day, you are in power." Doug looked at Luo Shuang and gave her a new hope. "When you can shut up everyone in the world, you can do anything."
Douge looked at Luo Shuang, took out a bottle of medicine from his arms, and handed it to the princess: "Princess, I was a little too harsh today, please forgive me."
Luo Shuang poured out some medicine from the medicine bottle and smeared it on her palm. Looking at the three red marks on her palm and pondering Doug's words carefully, her mood gradually calmed down.
After hesitating for a moment, Luo Shuang said, "Master, Wu Chang is not here. I want to ask you something."
Doug said, “Ask.”
Luo Shuang looked at Doug and asked, "Are you a demon?"
"No." Doug said decisively.
"..." Luo Shuang's hand that was applying the medicine suddenly stopped, and a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes.
“Princess, no matter it is the devil or the immortal god, they will eventually leave this world, but mortals will not.” Duger said slowly. He inexplicably thought of Wang Chong in the previous world. That body was tempered to the extreme by him. He didn’t know what happened to that body after the soul returned.
Is that so?
Luo Shuang chuckled secretly and asked, "Can I trust you?"
Doug looked at her and said, "You can always trust me. I won't allow anyone to hurt you while I'm here. This is my promise to you."
"Yes." Luo Shuang nodded gently. When she raised her head again, she was already full of energy. "Master, thank you for the three whips today. I won't make such low-level mistakes again in the future."
"That would be the best." Duger nodded, looked at the cane in his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Princess, no matter what, it is not justified for a subject to beat the king, and it is suspected of rebellion. In the future, there will be more and more people around the princess, and if outsiders see it, it will damage the princess's dignity. How about this! Please give this cane a name."
"Give a name?" Luo Shuang was stunned.
"Allow it to have the power to strike down the tyrants and corrupt officials." Du Ge said, "Then I will feel at ease when I use it to discipline the princess."
Gulp!
Luo Shuang subconsciously shrank his neck. You hit me with it, and you want me to give it a proper name? "How about calling it the King Whip?" Douge decided on the name without waiting for Luo Shuang to speak. He was a persistent person. Since he had made up his mind to make derivative products, he would do it to the extreme.
Having a formal name will make it more legitimate for you to beat the princess in the future, and it can also help you show off your status as a loyal subject.
In classical novels, Bao Zheng's guillotine, Yuchi Gong's golden mace, Wen Zhong's whip, She Taijun's dragon-headed cane...
Who among those who possess the weapons to “attack the tyrants above and the treacherous ministers below” is not a famous loyal minister?
"Okay." Luo Shuang said embarrassedly.
As soon as the words fell.
Douge had already drawn his sword, and in the moonlight, he carved the eight words "Strike the tyrant above, strike the treacherous ministers below" on the cane, then handed the sword to Luo Shuang: "Princess, please nominate."
Luo Shuang swallowed and reluctantly carved her name on the vine.
"Let's go!" Douger put away the whip with satisfaction and called the princess, "I have already subdued Longya. From now on, we have our own intelligence organization."
"Is it safe?" Luo Shuang asked.
"Don't worry, Princess. We have only taken care of the leader of Longya. Give me a few days and I can completely control Longya in our hands." Doug smiled. "There is one more thing I want to tell the princess in advance. In order to subdue Longya, I told them that I helped the princess restore her country, but I am coveting the throne myself. This is disrespectful..."
"Master, you don't need to explain to me. I understand that we must act in an emergency." Luo Shuang smiled and interrupted him, "No matter what, I trust you, Master."
