Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 39 Angels' Scheme, Dai and Tang Biting Each Other

"Did you find anything?" Qian Renxue's expression was grave. Using her senses, she could detect the difference in this first spirit ring. Although its color was simply white, it was clearly different from a ten-year spirit ring. Others might not be able to detect it, but she was certain that the fluctuations emanating from this white spirit ring were at least five hundred years old.

"This spirit ring was obtained from a type of ice silkworm," Xue Di transmitted to Qian Renxue. "I couldn't possibly be mistaken!"

"Are ice silkworms really that resilient? How could they travel all the way from the far north to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

"I remember telling you before that in the far north, there exists a special ice silkworm that, by sleeping and consuming ice marrow, has a cultivation level even higher than mine. My friend told me that she once chased after it, but the ice silkworm eventually ran into the sea and disappeared," said Xue Di.

"You suspect that this Ice Silkworm eventually became this Soul Ring? How is that possible? With Xiao Huo's physical condition, even a 600-year-old Soul Ring would probably burst him out of his skin," Qian Renxue said.

Xue Di narrowed her eyes, observed carefully, and then said, "No, I guess this ice silkworm must have suffered some kind of calamity, and then had no choice but to seal its cultivation, just like I sealed my own cultivation. Then, as Xiao Huo's strength increases, this soul ring will gradually be unsealed."

Qian Renxue pondered for a moment. The Snow Empress certainly knew more about spirit beasts than she did. Perhaps that was indeed the case; otherwise, there was no way to explain why this spirit ring was so special.

"It seems that Xiao Huo has obtained some incredible opportunity." Qian Renxue stroked her chin. "In that case, his chances of successfully taking revenge are even greater."

"You're a Soul Master too, aren't you envious?" Xue Di asked.

"It's alright, I'm used to it." Qian Renxue shrugged indifferently. That was indeed what she thought. Anyway, she always missed out on good things. It was like that in her past life. In this life, she had only been away from Huo Yuhao for less than half an hour when Huo Yuhao obtained such a heaven-defying soul ring.

And what about her? What did she get? She got a gray stream of air.

She didn't know what that gray current was. In her mind, it was something that had come to possess her and was not a good thing.

While others seized great opportunities, she received a ticking time bomb.

"Are we still going to make a move?" Xue Di asked.

Qian Renxue paused for a moment, then waved her hand: "Let Xiao Huo go and follow these two people first. I have a plan."

"What plan?" Xue Di asked curiously.

"I overheard their conversation. They wanted to recruit Xiao Huo into a sect called Tang Sect. Let Xiao Huo go then," Qian Renxue said.

"Tang Clan? Never heard of them."

"He's also my enemy." Qian Renxue's voice was cold in the mental message she transmitted to Xue Di. "Let Xiao Huo go in and have some fun. Maybe he'll cause some trouble again."

"I get it! Isn't this what you told me about before...?" Xue Di thought for a moment, "...a tool! Right, didn't you say that the two people who transported my embryos were tools?"

"In short, having Xiao Huo join is currently advantageous to me. The Tang Clan is now in decline, and it needs a great opportunity to rise again. If Xiao Huo is that great opportunity... then will the Tang Clan help him take revenge? It wouldn't be a bad thing if the Tang family and the Dai family fought each other, would it? It would also prevent me from being exposed in my current state."

"What if Xiao Huo gets brainwashed?"

Qian Renxue's eyes dimmed slightly: "That means he doesn't care about his mother, and our investment has failed. As investors, it's not a problem to take back this 'tool,' is it?"

Xue Di shuddered. This guy was truly a devil. Just half an hour ago, he was talking to Huo Yuhao about future plans, and then he could casually say that if he didn't obey, he would just get rid of him.

Moreover, Xiao Huo had obtained a great opportunity. It can be said that after obtaining this special soul ring, his spiritual power would definitely increase by leaps and bounds. However, Qian Renxue seemed to be completely unconcerned about this, and her words revealed a sense that "killing him is as simple as giving him gold soul coins."

"Luckily, I made a vow with her that transcends heaven and earth," Xue Di thought to herself.

Qian Renxue didn't really care. Her only rivals were the God Realm and even something as ethereal as "fate." The so-called Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were nothing more than places destined to be destroyed sooner or later. "Let's go, there's nothing more to see," Qian Renxue said, turning and leaving.

"...Speaking of which, Xiao Yuhao, do you know? Actually, I noticed you the moment you stepped into the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest."

In Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, a plump, white worm said, "But I didn't dare to show myself back then."

"Brother Tianmeng, why is that?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously.

"Because there were two people with you at the time... no, to be precise, it should be a person and a beast. They were both terrifying." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice was deep.

"You mean, Sister Qian and Sister Xue?" Huo Yuhao was taken aback. "They're good people! They've helped me so much! And what's with that person and beast?"

"That white-haired girl, I guess there's a 60% chance she's a soul beast in human form who obtained some incredible opportunity and erased her own aura," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said slowly.

Huo Yuhao was taken aback: "Speaking of which, Sister Xue seems to really know a lot about soul beasts! She even told me not to kill soul beasts indiscriminately!"

Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Bingcan was also taken aback: "What did you say her name was? Sister Xue? Have you seen her martial spirit?"

Huo Yuhao thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook his head helplessly: "They haven't revealed their martial souls to me, but her ability might be ice. Because she said she's frozen people before."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm solemnly said, "If that's the case, then this Sister Xue is very likely a soul beast from the far north! And she should be from the Ice and Snow Maiden clan. However, she probably hasn't reached the level of a ferocious beast, because ferocious beast-level soul beasts cannot transform into human form. But, I remember, the Ice and Snow Maiden clan seems to only have one Snow Empress..."

The sound behind it faded away.

Huo Yuhao responded with an "oh".

"There's another blonde girl, right?" Tianmeng Bingcan said. "If Sister Xue is unbelievable, then this Sister Qian you mentioned is...shocking."

Huo Yuhao's mind was in turmoil: "If that's the case, why praise them so much and not choose them as hosts?"

"Because... I dare not..." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled awkwardly, "I told you, when I was in the far north, I was constantly being hunted down and had no choice but to escape into the sea, eventually arriving at Xingdou. If the Ice and Snow Maiden saw me, she would either absorb me directly or take me back to the far north and offer me to the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor."

"And that blonde Qian-jie, if I'm not mistaken," Tianmeng Bingcan's voice lowered, "she carries a hint of... angelic aura."

"An angel?" Huo Yuhao was taken aback. "I had a similar feeling. She seemed to possess a strange kind of affinity, and also a... captivating quality. This angel of hers didn't have the... evil described in history."

He wasn't unaware of angels; his mother had mentioned them in her stories. However, in those stories, the angels belonged to the evil Spirit Hall. The name of the Angel Clan had been lost to history, but this Spirit, this divine position, had been passed down through generations—of course, under the guise of villainy.

"Ten thousand years ago, when I was being absorbed by ferocious beasts at the bottom of the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, I sensed the aura of an angel descending upon Star Dou. At that time, the angel seemed to be fighting an enemy. She was constantly scanning the entire Star Dou Great Forest, and I and the group of ferocious beasts had to lie in wait at the bottom of the lake and conceal our presence."

"The angel must have discovered us at the bottom of the lake, which is why her aura conveyed a message. The angel goddess was telling us that she wouldn't disturb us; she was just looking for someone," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said with emotion. "That was the angel's aura. Whether you were a Soul Master or a Soul Beast, you had no choice but to willingly submit to that aura."

Huo Yuhao won't kill him now.

From the author's perspective, if the conflict is broken now, there's nothing left to write about. What's the point of continuing after that? Is Qian Renxue going to modernize the Douluo Continent?

From the perspective of the story, Qian Renxue did not know that Huo Yuhao was the chosen one of destiny in Dou Er.

Moreover, they first brainwash people into fighting each other, and then the subsequent plot gives them hope before making them despair, making them realize that they can't do anything.

Next phase preview: Qian Renxue enters the Sun Moon Empire and unexpectedly encounters a battle between the Shrek Academy Inspection Team and evil soul masters on the way. What will her choice be...?
