Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 401 The Past of the Snow Empress's Embryo

"The Martial Soul Hall..." A look of confusion appeared in Xu Jiujiu's eyes.

"She needs some time to process her past memories, after all, her soul has been reassembled," Electrolux's voice rang out.

"Mm." Qian Renxue nodded.

On the other side, the young emperor and Xu Yunxian woke up again. After all, their cultivation levels were relatively low, and they didn't have many worries on a daily basis.

The young emperor can be considered a puppet for a long time; all the imperial edicts and such are actually the princess's will. Xu Yun is currently just a rather naive girl. If we were to compare her to someone else, she might be Xu Tianran's younger sister, Xu Tianzhen, or Xue Ke from a long, long time ago.

After they woke up and learned what had happened to them, they looked at the expressionless Qian Renxue with some trepidation.

About fifteen minutes later, he let out a bitter laugh.

"Why don't you just let me die? Anyway, you and the Sun Moon Empire will start a war sooner or later. Wouldn't it be perfect if our Xu family were wiped out?" Xu Jiujiu shook his head.

Qian Renxue took a deep breath.

If it weren't for Haihuan Douluo's words, she might have really done it and wouldn't have gone to such lengths to revive Xu Jiujiu.

However, Haihuan Douluo deliberately mentioned the remnants of the Spirit Hall, and also mentioned the fate of those who had once resolved to rebel...

"...Have you regained your memories?" Qian Renxue asked.

"It's back to normal," Xu Jiujiu said, patting his head.

"Take care of things within the palace first, then come talk to me." Qian Renxue glanced at her. "Do you know what you're supposed to do and how to do it?"

"..." Xu Jiujiu bit her lip, but still nodded. "Since you brought me back to life, then I'll listen to you."

Her meaning was clear: since she had already died once, Qian Renxue's actions were like giving her a second life, leaving her no choice but to submit.

After all, Qian Renxue wasn't as easy to talk to as some other spiritual entity. Her relationship with Xu Jiujiu wasn't exactly an equal exchange.

Qian Renxue nodded to Xu Jiujiu and softly hummed in agreement. Then she and Ye Xishui left temporarily.

A day later, the Xinghai royal family sent an undercover agent to invite Qian Renxue into the palace.

Qian Renxue returned to Xu Jiujiu's side: "What's your decision?"

"Do I have a choice?" Xu Jiu smiled bitterly, then said a bunch of self-help words, such as, "Although I don't know what your relationship is with the Spirit Hall from ten thousand years ago, I think the Spirit Hall is better than Shrek Academy."

The implication was that "I've come to terms with it."

"..." Qian Renxue listened patiently to her finish speaking, then lowered her hands. "I'll ask you. About two years ago, or maybe less, did your Star Luo Empire collaborate with the Mingde Hall traitor of the Sun Moon Empire to obtain a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo?"

He hesitated for a long time, but still nodded: "You know about that matter?"

"I know. Who orchestrated this?" "It was that level nine soul master from Mingde Hall who took the initiative to contact the Star Luo royal family at the time, and my elder brother agreed without hesitation. I heard about it later and felt something was wrong. Because this would undoubtedly be playing with fire. Once the matter is exposed, it will undoubtedly attract many people to fight over it, and even cause chaos within our palace."

Qian Renxue showed interest and gestured for her to continue.

"My brother has shown greed. In fact, no one can refuse a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo," Xu Jiujiu said. "Moreover, I am, after all, a princess of the royal family. I must consider the royal family. Even though I know that thing is a hot potato, I have no choice but to accept this dangerous gift."

"I had the simplest and most common method of transportation used, but unexpectedly, the package was still stolen and its whereabouts remain unknown. Someone found a dagger with the Shrek Academy mark at the crime scene, but because my elder brother is a believer in Shrek, he didn't go to confront them. As a result, even now, no one knows whether Shrek Academy was responsible."

"So, how did you handle this matter afterward?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Later, my elder brother killed everyone involved in this matter," Xu Jiujiu said helplessly. "Because he didn't want this to affect Shrek Academy's reputation. I now suspect that he already knew that Lei Yan and Gui Teng, these two titled Douluo, were invited to the Hall of Worship simply because they came from Shrek Academy."

Qian Renxue nodded, then raised her hand and turned on the speakerphone of her communication soul tool: "Sister Xuedi, Sister Bingdi, can you hear me?"

Xu Jiujiu was taken aback; after her resurrection, her strength was the same as it was in life.

However, she was completely unaware that Qian Renxue had just made this call. Wasn't this young master's cultivation level similar to hers?

"I heard you, thank you, Xiaoxue." Xue Di's voice came from the communicator.

"What do you plan to do with this accomplice?" Qian Renxue asked.

"..." Xue Di paused for a moment, "Has she already died once? Like what you told us yesterday?"

"Yes, she was essentially killed by Shrek Academy and Sea Douluo working together. But I promised you I would help you find all the murderers," Qian Renxue said. "So she can't die yet."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but tremble slightly.

When a person comes back to life, there are generally three possible scenarios.

The first type is completely unaware. For example, in Tang San's previous life, he jumped off the Ghost's Sorrow cliff and arrived in the Douluo Continent. Tang San did not know that his arrival in the Douluo world was part of the former Asura God's plan, so he felt no pressure and grew up with good luck without knowing it, until he died at the hands of angels and Rakshasa.

Only then did he realize that his life was actually being manipulated by a higher being. So he changed, became timid, and even wished he could take control of everything, treating other lives as food and devouring their value bit by bit.

The second scenario is that she knows the specifics of her resurrection. For example, Xu Jiujiu now feels a natural fear and submission towards the person who brought her back to life, because she knows that if the other party can bring her back to life, they can also make her lose her life again.

The third type is Qian Renxue. She was resurrected, but she still understands her own thoughts and what she wants to do. She understands that she is different, unlike anyone else now. Only humans are limited by that damned pride, even missing the hard-won opportunity to rise again.

This is what Qian Renxue's two consciousnesses comprehended together when her spiritual power was exhausted.

The essence of life and death is reincarnation. If human life can be reincarnated, then perhaps the world is the same. This laid the most basic logical foundation for her to reach higher levels in the future.

Clearly, Xu Jiujiu understood that what followed was the verdict on her life.
