Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 182 Qian Renxue's 'Beautiful Dream'

Death Valley, night.

Dusk fell like a veil, and the gentle moonlight enveloped the tranquil campsite.

The flickering campfire cast a warm glow upon Qian Renxue, casting a long shadow on the ground behind her.

"I may have to leave earlier than planned."

Qian Renxue lowered her eyes, her fair fingertips unconsciously stroking, her voice soft and slightly tinged with a hint of sadness.

"Actually, when my soul power reached level 60, my grandfather had already prepared to take me away to obtain a soul ring."

"But back then I..."

At this point, Qian Renxue shook her head slightly, "Never mind, I'm going to go with Grandpa to get my soul ring first thing tomorrow morning anyway."

"I don't know how long it will be before we meet again."

Qian Renxue is not only the high and mighty 'young master' of the Spirit Hall, but she also has another identity—the Crown Prince 'Xue Qinghe' of the Heaven Dou Empire.

She had been away from the Heaven Dou Empire for some time, claiming to be ill.

Although it seems that no prince in the Tiandou Empire can threaten her position as crown prince now, things cannot remain this way forever.

Next, we need to acquire the spirit rings. After acquiring the spirit rings...

Qian Renxue understood that she could no longer return to Wuhun City and had to return to Tiandou.

It will be at least several years before I see Dai Chengfeng again.

It can be said that it is a long way off.

Thinking about this, Qian Renxue suddenly felt inexplicably down for some reason.

Upon hearing this, Dai Chengfeng paused slightly, stopped what he was doing, and quietly stared at Qian Renxue.

Thinking of the identity of 'Xue Qinghe', Dai Chengfeng also knew that Qian Renxue's words about not knowing how long it would be before they met again were not a joke.

"Ah."

However, Dai Chengfeng wasn't too worried. He nodded and responded.

At the same time, he reached out and gently stroked Qian Renxue's long golden hair, his movements gentle and natural, his voice full of comfort.

"It's alright, I can come see you if I have time."

Qian Renxue's eyes lit up for a moment, but quickly dimmed again. She shook her head. "Look at me?"

You can't find me...

In her mind, Dai Chengfeng was completely unaware of her other identity, and only assumed that when Dai Chengfeng said he was going to see her, he meant he was going to Douluo Palace to see her.

But she wasn't in the Douluo Palace, or even in Wuhun City.

Therefore, Dai Chengfeng naturally could not see her.

Dai Chengfeng simply smiled confidently, "How could I not find you?"

“I know you’re not usually in Wuhun City, otherwise it’s impossible that the last time we met was in Tiandou City.”

"If I'm not mistaken, you should live in Tiandou City."

"When I want to find you, I'll just go to Tiandou City."

Instantly, Qian Renxue's heart tightened.

After all, Xue Qinghe's identity was a top secret, and she absolutely could not expose it.

Now that she hears Dai Chengfeng say she's in Tiandou, how can she not panic?

Has my identity been exposed?

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue forced herself to remain calm, but her eyes still betrayed her nervousness. She cautiously probed, "Dai Chengfeng, how did you know I was in Tian Dou?"

Say it.

She leaned forward slightly, her eyes fixed on Dai Chengfeng's expression, not missing a single subtle reaction from him.

Dai Chengfeng naturally understood the advantages and disadvantages of the identity of 'Xue Qinghe', so he naturally wouldn't reveal the truth.

Therefore, his expression remained unchanged, and a relaxed smile still lingered at the corner of his mouth, making it difficult for anyone to suspect anything: "I guessed." "After all, judging from your relationship with Bibi Dong, you are clearly at odds."

"As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain. You can't possibly be in the Spirit Hall normally, otherwise the whole continent would probably know that you and Bibi Dong are at odds."

"But since it hasn't spread, it proves that the two of you don't see each other often."

As Dai Chengfeng spoke, he shrugged, making it seem like it was perfectly natural.

"We don't see each other often, and I saw you in Heaven Dou City last time... so if you're not in Heaven Dou City, where else could you be?"

"Whoo~"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense body gradually relaxed.

As long as Dai Chengfeng doesn't know her identity as the Heavenly Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, and knows where she usually comes from, Qian Renxue is not worried.

They were even secretly pleased.

Dai Chengfeng, you really are...

Qian Renxue looked at Dai Chengfeng with admiration and praise in her eyes, and subconsciously thought about what would happen if Dai Chengfeng were in Tiandou City.

At that time, she could handle government affairs during the day as Xue Qinghe, and meet him at night in her true form as Qian Renxue.

A strange sense of joy welled up inside me.

Qian Renxue nodded quickly in agreement, her eyes filled with undisguised anticipation:
"That's right, I usually live in Tiandou City."

"It's good that we're in Heaven Dou City. Anyway, Heaven Dou City isn't too far from the Spirit Hall."

Dai Chengfeng gently stroked Qian Renxue's long, soft hair again, his gesture filled with affection and doting.

"Um……"

Qian Renxue nodded gently, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

For a moment, the two fell into a brief silence, with only the crackling of the campfire echoing in their ears.

Qian Renxue felt the warm touch on her head and quietly looked at Dai Chengfeng.

In his presence, she no longer seemed to be the aloof young master of the Spirit Hall, nor the scheming Xue Qinghe who concealed her identity, but simply a girl who longed for warmth and companionship.

Thinking about those much-anticipated identities...

For some reason, she felt a wave of fatigue.

These past years, I've lived cautiously in the Heavenly Dou Empire to conceal my identity, constantly on guard against being discovered. It's been exhausting.

Every day, she had to navigate the court as Xue Qinghe, dealing with all sorts of open and covert attacks.

Every night, she had to bear that loneliness and unease alone.

But at this moment, beside Dai Chengfeng, she felt a rare sense of relaxation and peace of mind.

Maybe I can rest for a little while... just a little while...

As Qian Renxue pondered this, she carefully rested her head gently on Dai Chengfeng's shoulder, her movements as soft as if she were afraid of disturbing some beautiful dream.

Sensing Qian Renxue's movements, Dai Chengfeng was slightly taken aback, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

He didn't speak, but continued his actions, and the two quietly enjoyed the tranquility and warmth of the moment.

From the shadows, Qian Daoliu witnessed the entire scene.

He stood quietly in the shadows, watching his granddaughter display such girlish behavior with a complex mix of emotions...

There was relief, heartache, and a touch of worry.

"Hey!"

After a long silence, he sighed softly and murmured to himself, "Xiaoxue has been unable to return home all these years, and now..."

Considering Dai Chengfeng's special status in the Spirit Hall—nominally a student, but actually captured—Bibi Dong would never let him leave easily.

For a moment, Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing in them.

"For Xiaoxue's sake, it seems I have to meet with Bibi Dong again."
