Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 402 The Chief Executive Officer Plan

"..." Xue Di paused for a moment on the other end. "The number one criminals, Xu Ping and Xu Jiawei, have already been killed by Bing'er and me. If we were to kill all the people involved, then the entire Pingfan Alliance and the Xingluo Royal Family would deserve to die."

"Xu Jiujiu is an accomplice, but she also died once. You saved her life a second time, so it's up to you to decide," Xue Di said. "After all, my matter is now resolved. However, the Xu family has another identity: they were once subordinates of the Spirit Hall, which is your former organization."

"..." Qian Renxue looked helplessly at the communicator.

As expected of the Snow Empress, the queen of the far north, she and her lord, the ruler of this power, were in perfect harmony to a certain extent.

"What does Hyotei-nee mean?"

Hyotei's voice came through the communicator: "Ask her who the retainer was who retrieved the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone back then."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu realized that he seemed to have regained his life and quickly said, "That revered one existed four hundred years ago and has now passed away..."

"...I forgot about that. It seems Xu Jiawei mentioned it was hundreds of years ago when he was struck down by my heavenly tribulation. I overlooked the issue of human lifespan. Well, do whatever you want with him then," Hyotei said. "Come find us when you're done."

Qian Renxue asked, "Where are you?"

"Mixue Ice City is right next to the Arctic Ocean. You'll see when you get there; there are good things there." Hyotei's voice started to become a little intermittent, probably because they were too far away and the signal was bad on their end.

"I'm working myself to death in the south, and you two are having your honeymoon there, right? I know, I'll come find you as soon as I'm done here." Qian Renxue hung up the call.

Xu Jiujiu looked at Qian Renxue cautiously, and Qian Renxue found his worried and fearful appearance somewhat amusing.

"There aren't that many coincidences in this world. What you're thinking is probably right." Qian Renxue tapped her fingers on the table. "Do you need some time to process this?"

For the first time, Xu Jiujiu felt her brain wasn't working properly. Since entering politics, she had to deal with many things every day, but what happened today made her feel as if her fate had changed two years ago.

A 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, a mysterious young master of the Holy Temple, an uncanny martial soul that is impossible to discern, a bizarre ability to disguise himself, and also involving a force from ten thousand years ago.

The room fell silent, and Qian Renxue didn't disturb her, letting her think it over slowly.

"I think I've figured it out." After a long while, he hesitated for a long time before finally speaking his mind.

"..." Qian Renxue listened patiently as she finished rambling, "I need you to become my puppet."

"How exactly do we do it?" Xu Jiujiu pondered for a moment, but still asked the question.

"The young emperor of the Starsea Empire was assassinated by a Shrek Academy spy, who even threatened the young Princess Xu Yun to force the royal family to submit." Qian Renxue pointed out the window, "This matter will soon be spread."

"As expected... those mysterious spies in the south are your people," Xu Jiujiu said. "Although I had my suspicions, it seems I was right."

Qian Renxue glanced at her and continued, "I will have the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Corps of the Sun Moon Empire launch an attack on you. You just need to pretend to resist. After that, you will be my mole planted here."

Xu Jiujiu was slightly taken aback: "You want me to surrender to the Sun Moon Empire?"

"No, you're surrendering to me." Qian Renxue said expressionlessly. "Your life was saved by the Temple. Besides me, whose orders do you want to take?"

After a moment of thought, Xu Jiujiu understood the meaning behind Qian Renxue's words.

The young master of the Holy Temple always represents the Holy Temple, not the Sun and Moon Empire.

"And then?" Xu Jiujiu asked. "I will turn this place into a special region, similar to an autonomous one. You will still be the highest-ranking official here, helping me manage this area." Qian Renxue thought for a moment, "Just like the kingdoms and duchies under the Star Luo Empire a long, long time ago, understand?"

Xu Jiujiu nodded. She was familiar with the development history of the Star Luo Empire. The former duchies and kingdoms were suppressed by the Star Luo royal family and completely unified; while the Heaven Dou Empire split because those few small countries became too powerful.

"So, our current... temporary status is that of a vassal state of the Sun and Moon Empire?"

"That's one way to understand it, but it won't last long," Qian Renxue said. "This place will become a new starting point."

"A new beginning?" He didn't understand for a long time.

"I need a systemic change for the Starsea Empire, transforming it from a one-man show into a parliamentary system. Understand?"

"My brother once established the position of Prime Minister, which was my suggestion." Xu Jiujiu nodded slightly. "I know about this. The original purpose was to prevent my brother from becoming a violent dictator. But I failed. The Prime Minister was controlled by my brother through his subordinates' methods and instead became a pawn to check Dai Hao."

"You are more suited to be the ruler than your brother, or rather, you will temporarily serve as the regent," Qian Renxue said. "Your Xingguan Xu family was once one of the six great families of the Spirit Hall, so you should know that the Spirit Hall had a position called Chief Regent a long time ago. Something similar, understand?"

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Xu Jiujiu immediately understood what she meant and knew what she had to do. She quickly nodded.

"With your abilities, you can do it, right?" Qian Renxue said casually.

"Young Master, may I call you that? From now on, there will be someone by my side," Xu Jiujiu said.

"Who?" Qian Renxue asked.

"She used to be my personal bodyguard, Nebula Douluo, Grandma Manyi. After the empire split, I forced her to leave, not wanting her to be implicated by my Star Sea Empire. So, I sent her to investigate a place for me."

"I've heard of her, you can decide for yourself. But I'm also curious, where did she go?" Qian Renxue nodded.

She was also puzzled as to why the titled Douluo who was supposed to be Xu Jiujiu's personal bodyguard was nowhere to be found, even after Xu Jiujiu's death.

"In the sea southeast of the former Star Luo Empire, there is a special island. Only the emperors of the Star Luo Empire and the head of the Hall of Offerings are qualified to go there, and they regularly transport a lot of supplies there every year," Xu Jiujiu said. "Even I don't know much about what happened on that island. And the head of the Hall of Offerings is currently on that island."

"Are you sending Nebula Douluo to his death?"

"After the Star Luo Empire split, the head of the Offering Hall has been in a wait-and-see attitude. He hasn't joined us, nor has he been recruited by Dai Hao. So, I asked Grandma Manyi to make contact with him," Xu Jiujiu said in a low voice. "However, I feel that island is not a good place."

"Why is that?" Qian Renxue frowned.

She was unaware of the past situation of the Star Luo Empire. Moreover, even the branch altars of the Holy Spirit Cult seemed to have never heard of such a thing.

"In the past, the Star Luo Empire would have some people mysteriously disappear every year. I suspect they were probably sent to those islands over there," Xu Jiujiu said. "However, I don't know what exactly happened there."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue began to ponder.

She vaguely remembered that after the little angel ascended to godhood, she had observed this Douluo plane, which was actually a planet. Around the Douluo Continent, apart from the farthest reaches, there were other continents and islands.

If she can control these islands, it will be very useful for seizing the divine inheritances from other continents later.

I've looked up a lot about the geographical locations of the other two continents, but haven't found anything. Does anyone know?
