Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends.

The Crown Prince's residence, a secret room.

Qian Renxue sat upright behind her desk. In front of her was not a memorial, but a letter that exuded a faint, cool fragrance.

"Your Highness personally inquires:"

More than a month has passed since we last met, and my longing for you is like madness. However, I have recently felt unwell, and after consulting the Imperial Physician, I learned that I am already carrying Your Highness's child, more than a month along. Recalling our wonderful night at Fucui Palace, I am overjoyed; this pregnancy is truly a gift from heaven. Thinking of Your Highness's impending arrival, my heart leaps with happiness, yet I also know this matter is of great importance, hence this urgent news. I hope Your Highness will take care and await good news.

Sincerely, Eva.

Flesh and blood, Your Highness's bloodline, a beautiful night.

Every word made Qianren's vision go black.

She suddenly gripped the letter in front of her tightly, the thin paper almost crumbling into pieces.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" she hissed, her voice filled with obvious shock and fear.

Although he disguised himself as a man, he was still a woman at heart!

Eva is a woman too!

Although she was in a daze that night, but... but how could that soul bone be?

Although Qian Renxue didn't want to believe it, a cold voice in her mind was refuting her thoughts.

What if?

That was, after all, an angelic divine armor and soul bone nearly 100,000 years old! It was a gift from the gods!

It perfectly mimics a man's appearance and body, even perfectly replicating his aura and soul power fluctuations. Who can say that it cannot simulate complete functions?

Qian Renxue suddenly stood up and paced anxiously in the secret room, her long golden hair becoming slightly disheveled with her movements.

No, she had to find out; she needed to know exactly what had happened that night.

"Uncle Yu Long!"

From the shadows, the Serpent Spear Douluo Yu Long silently emerged and bowed respectfully.

"Little Lord."

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, suppressing her turbulent emotions, and tried to keep her voice calm, but her eyes were sharp as knives as she stared intently at Yu Long.

"Uncle Yu Long, a month ago, that night at Fu Cui Palace, when you were outside, did you hear or sense anything unusual?"

Yu Long's body stiffened for a moment. He raised his head and looked at Qian Renxue's pale and tense face, a complex and hesitant look flashing in his eyes.

After a few seconds of silence, he said in a low voice, "Young Master, I was indeed on guard outside the palace that night. There was quite a commotion inside."

"What's going on?" Qian Renxue's heart sank to the bottom. "Explain yourself!"

"It's Eva's and His Highness's voices..."

Yu Long carefully chose his words, trying to describe the scene to Qian Renxue in an extremely calm manner.

"Your subordinate... Your subordinate thought at the time that it was Young Master's deliberate act to bewitch that vixen. After all, Young Master is a woman. Your subordinate never expected that Young Master... could actually... uh..."

Yu Long didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning couldn't be clearer.

He heard the sounds coming from inside the hall and naturally assumed that Qian Renxue was acting for the mission, because in his mind, Qian Renxue was a woman and it was impossible for her to actually do anything substantial to another woman.

Boom!

Yu Long's words were like a final, heavy blow, slamming into Qian Renxue's already crumbling mental defenses.

Even her bodyguard, Uncle Yu Long, who watched her grow up, said the same thing, believing she was acting, which seemed to confirm the facts of that night.

Qian Renxue stumbled and barely managed to steady herself by grabbing the cold wall for support.

Absurd! Utterly absurd!

But if the divinely bestowed soul bone truly possesses such heaven-defying power, and if Eva is indeed pregnant, the timing is indeed perfect.

The Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire had an affair with the Empire's favorite concubine, and they even became pregnant.

Once this secret is exposed, her painstakingly planned scheme will collapse instantly, and the Spirit Hall's scheme will be destroyed.

What will Bibi Dong think of her? What will her grandfather think of her?

But at the same time, what if... what if that child really is her bloodline?

She is the child of Qian Renxue, a descendant of the sacred blood of a six-winged angel.

What should she do? Protect him?

Recognize him?

However, if the child is truly hers, she will certainly not act like Bibi Dong.

"Young Master? Are you alright?"

Yu Long looked at Qian Renxue's distraught appearance with concern, and his heart was filled with shock.

How powerful is the angel disguised as a soul bone given by God?

Qian Renxue abruptly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, although there was still lingering fear in her eyes, she had forcibly suppressed most of the chaos.

She can't make a mistake! Absolutely not!

"This matter is top secret!" Qian Renxue commanded Yu Long without room for doubt.

“Uncle Yu Long, what you heard and felt that night must remain buried in your heart. You must not utter a single word about it to anyone, including your grandfather and the Pope.”

"Your subordinate understands and vows to protect the young master's secret with his life." Yu Long knelt on one knee and solemnly promised.

"Also, keep a close eye on everything happening at Fucui Palace, especially regarding that child. Report any unusual activity to me immediately."

Qian Renxue walked to the window, looking at the deep night outside, her back view appearing unusually lonely.

"Yes!"

Yu Long retreated silently, and the secret room fell silent once more.

Qian Renxue stood alone in the shadows, the letter in her hand, carrying a cold fragrance, felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

The news of Eva's pregnancy had spread like wildfire throughout the palace. Overjoyed on a snowy night, various forces were bound to stir with urges.

Eva made an extremely ruthless move, completely pushing her to the brink of despair.

Is the child really hers?

She didn't know, she really didn't know.

Qian Renxue stroked her neck, where the phantom pain from the hickeys still seemed to linger.

In order to make Qian Renxue completely believe that Eva had expended a lot of soul power to use black magic that night.

The effects of the black magic were obvious, leaving Qian Renxue completely baffled as to the truth of that night.

After all, besides the marks on her body, Eva had also tampered with Qian Renxue's memories and perceptions.

This caused an unprecedented upheaval in Qian Renxue's judgment.

"Waiting for good news?"

Qian Renxue looked at the last four words of the letter, and a cold and bitter smile appeared on her lips.

Eva was pressuring her, using the child to bind her tightly to herself.

"What wonderful news!"

Qian Renxue murmured to herself, her eyes flashing with golden light.

"Eva, I'll play along with you in this charade. But in the end, the outcome is still uncertain!"

Chapter 34 Xiao Wu

Qian Renxue slowly brought the letter close to the candle flame, watching it turn to ashes.

The firelight illuminated her pale face, half of which appeared sacred and awe-inspiring in the light, while the other half was shrouded in deep darkness in the shadows.

The truth may only be revealed when that child is born.

Before that, she must play the role of a perfect crown prince.

Floating Emerald Palace.

Eva leaned back on the soft fur-covered couch, looking at the image of the Crown Prince's residence on the magic mirror before her.

"Oh."

Eva chuckled lazily, toying with a strand of blonde hair between her fingers, her eyes sparkling with a playful, cat-and-mouse glint.

"It seems our little angel has completely lost her composure."

Eva stroked her flat stomach, which was, of course, empty. The so-called pregnancy pulse was just a magical illusion she had created, enough to fool even the imperial physicians and titled Douluo.

Eva had already made preparations for everything after the child's birth, and that night she collected the blood containing the pure angelic power of Qian Renxue.

The blood was now contained in a tiny crystal bottle, which she was currently caressing in her hands.

"Bai Xue, my dear daughter."

Eva's gaze drifted to the distant west, as if piercing through space to see the pure and kind princess.

"When you come to this continent, your mother will prepare a great gift for you. You will have the most noble status, the most powerful martial spirit, and become your mother's most perfect creation and most powerful pawn."

Eva intends to blend this drop of sacred blood into a magic potion and inject it into Snow White's body, making her an undisputed angel.

Eva's smile grew increasingly sinister.

Using Qian Renxue's bloodline to create Snow White with a six-winged angel martial soul, it confirms that this child is the offspring of the angel lineage. At that time, she will simultaneously control the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall.

The plan was so perfect that even Eva herself couldn't help but praise it.

Whether Qian Renxue was angry or wavering, she could not escape her grasp in the end.

As for Snow White's own wishes? Eva's red lips curled into a cold smile.

Kindness—that was precisely the quality she could best utilize.

She will love the child, in a way that is absolutely controlling.

"Little Qianrenxue, enjoy this surprise."

Eva raised a glass of blood-red wine and offered a distant toast in the direction of the Crown Prince's residence, her eyes deep and unfathomable.

……

The edge of the core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest.

Here, the towering ancient trees have lost their absolute dominance, and the sunlight can now dapple down.

However, this once peaceful place is now filled with the pungent smell of blood and violent energy fluctuations.

A pink figure tumbled awkwardly in the air; it was none other than Arou, the 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Soft Bone Rabbit, who had transformed into human form.

Blood trickled from the corner of Arou's mouth, her beautiful face stained with blood and filled with pain.

Her pink dress was also torn, revealing deep, bone-revealing wounds.

There was also a wound on her chest that emitted a purplish-black light.

The cause of this wound was Bibi Dong's sixth soul skill - Eternal Wound.

Ignoring physical defenses, it directly damages the source of the injury, severing the life force.

"mother!!"

Having only recently taken human form, Xiao Wu had no power at the moment. She could only hide in the pink light shield protecting her from A Rou and scream anxiously.

"Go! Xiao Wu, hurry! Let's get into the core area!"

Arou's voice was hoarse and resolute. She endured the excruciating pain and used her last bit of strength to fiercely throw the pink light shield protecting Xiaowu toward the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest, the core area where the life force was most abundant.

The light shield transformed into a streak of light and instantly disappeared into the dense forest.

"No! Mom! Don't leave Xiaowu behind!!"

Xiao Wu's cries became muffled as they flew away at high speed.

Almost at the same moment Xiao Wu was thrown out, several powerful attacks struck again.

The leader was none other than Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall.

She hovered in mid-air, surrounded by a chilling aura of evil. Nine soul rings spun slowly beneath her feet, especially the last blood-red 100,000-year soul ring, which exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.
