Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

Chapter 53 Leaving Quietly
To the east of the Star Forest, a soft fish belly white color gradually appeared.

I don’t know how long it took, but beams of warm sunlight penetrated the gaps between the leaves, and the mottled light and shadows danced on the grass like elves.

In the interweaving of light and shadow, two figures snuggled together.

When Cheng Xiao slowly opened his eyes, he clearly felt two warm arms tightly wrapped around his neck, and his chest seemed to be pressed against something, but this was not important. What was important was that it was very soft.

His mind suddenly became clear, his eyes suddenly opened, and Cheng Xiao hurriedly lowered his head to look. What came into his sight was an exquisite and beautiful face, like a work of art carefully carved by God.

For some reason, the two of them hugged each other unconsciously and fell into a deep sleep. You know, their current posture is very ambiguous, her arms are around his waist, and his arms are around her waist. Fortunately, she does not look like Xue Qinghe, otherwise, she would be regarded as good brothers with some secret relationship.

Qian Renxue's eyelashes were slender and curled, like a row of light feathers, and were trembling gently at this moment. Her face looked even softer in the morning sun, and her skin was as white as jade, with a faint pink glow.

The sound of soft breathing could be heard slowly, as if he was sleeping very soundly.

"She doesn't seem to have woken up yet." After watching quietly for a while, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but mutter to himself when he saw that Qian Renxue showed no signs of waking up.

However, just when Cheng Xiao was thinking about whether to wake up Qian Renxue, his abdomen suddenly deflated, and then a gurgling sound was heard.

Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, as if she heard the sound of Cheng Xiao's stomach, and the jade arms around Cheng Xiao's neck loosened quietly, but she still had no intention of opening her eyes to wake up.

"How can you sleep so well?" Upon seeing this, Cheng Xiao muttered softly, and then he carefully moved his hand away from Qian Renxue's soft and slender waist. Then, he supported himself on the ground with one hand and sat up with the other hand around Qian Renxue's waist.

With their bodies in such close contact, Cheng Xiao and Qian Renxue both trembled slightly. With such close contact, Cheng Xiao's throat became a little dry. Looking at the bright red lips so close to him, he actually had an urge to kiss her.

His breathing gradually became rapid. He bit the tip of his tongue to suppress the sudden impulse. Then Cheng Xiao stood up holding Qian Renxue. Feeling the softness of the delicate body in his arms and the elegant fragrance that kept entering his nose, Cheng Xiao suddenly felt something was wrong.

Holding Qian Renxue in his arms, he rushed to the big tree, put her down gently, and leaned her against the tree trunk. Then Cheng Xiao raised his hand to wipe the water droplets that had appeared on his forehead at some point, and then spread out the power of shadow. After confirming that there were no soul beasts around, he breathed a sigh of relief.

His eyes swept across that delicate face, Cheng Xiao let out a long sigh, then turned around, covered his emptied stomach, summoned the shadow soldier Fang, and quickly disappeared from the place. He planned to get some food to fill his stomach.

After Cheng Xiao left, Qian Renxue, who was leaning against a tree trunk, quietly opened her eyes. A blush appeared on her delicate and beautiful face. Her golden eyes kept flashing with complex expressions. Her slender and long fingers clenched into fists, and after a moment, they slowly loosened.

With complex expressions flashing in her bright eyes, Qian Renxue slowly stood up. She looked at the place where Cheng Xiao left, hesitated for a while, sighed slowly, and then took out a token from the soul guide she carried with her. The token was simple in style, but it contained a special energy flow.

"I hope he can understand what I mean." Qian Renxue gently placed the token in her hand on a stone under the big tree.

After putting the token away, two pairs of golden energy wings slowly stretched out from behind Qian Renxue. She took one last look at the direction where Cheng Xiao had left. The four wings behind her shook slightly, and the whole person quickly took off from the ground. With the golden feathers falling, she flew high into the sky and disappeared into the sky.

After a while, when Cheng Xiao asked the shadow soldiers with food to rush back, they found that there was no trace of Qian Renxue except a shining token under the big tree.

"After waking up, did you leave quietly?" Cheng Xiao smiled bitterly, and was stunned for a moment, then walked forward and picked up the token left by Qian Renxue. When he turned the token over, he saw the word "snow" engraved on it.

After a long silence, Cheng Xiao put the token engraved with the word "snow" into the storage soul guide given to him by Ju Douluo.

The shadow soldiers standing behind Cheng Xiao seemed to have sensed the change in the king's mood, and they remained silent without making a sound.

"Let's go. At least, this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest has yielded some great gains." Cheng Xiao turned his head, his gaze fell on the three-eyed demon ape, and smiled faintly.

…………

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

In the spacious and bright Pope's Palace, there was a stunningly beautiful woman sitting. She sat lazily on the throne with a cup of fragrant tea in her hand, and the golden scepter that symbolized the Pope's identity was casually placed aside.

The woman was very tall and had extremely fair skin. She wore a nine-curve purple gold crown on her head and a golden long dress from head to toe. The dress was sparkling with precious light, and a closer look revealed that it was inlaid with hundreds of gems of various shapes.

At this moment, a golden light surged in the Pope's Palace, countless golden petals fell from the sky, and Ju Douluo's figure appeared silently in front of the woman.

"Your Holiness, I have already taken care of what you asked me to do." Ju Douluo Yue Guan knelt on one knee and said respectfully.

"Oh?" Bibi Dong showed curiosity and said calmly, "Tell me the result, whether you join or refuse."

"Reporting to His Holiness the Pope." Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan raised his head and said, "Cheng Xiao chose to join the Spirit Hall and has become my disciple. As for Xiao Wu, who also has full innate spirit power, I didn't find her. I guess they separated after entering the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Your disciple?" Bibi Dong nodded slightly, then smiled, "Congratulations to Elder Ju for receiving a genius with innate full soul power. As long as he is taught properly, he will definitely become a Titled Douluo in the future."

"Elder Ju, as the Pope, I want to thank you on behalf of the Spirit Hall."

Hearing this, Ju Douluo Yue Guan trembled and said quickly: "It is all thanks to His Holiness the Pope. As an elder of the Spirit Hall, recruiting geniuses to join the Spirit Hall is just my job."

"Hearing this, Bibi Dong said calmly: "Yueguan, you did a good job. Since Cheng Xiao has chosen you as his master, you should just teach him well. I hope that in the near future, I can see another Titled Douluo in the Spirit Hall."

"Yes, Your Holiness." Ju Douluo bowed and accepted the order, then reported some other things to Bibi Dong before leaving the Pope's Palace.

After Ju Douluo left, Bibi Dong on the throne sneered.

"Great Priest, just wait and see. It's only a matter of time before I take control of the Spirit Hall. I want to see if you have any other way to delay me from completely taking control of the Spirit Hall!"
