Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 467 A Secret Talk at Midnight: Brigitte's Apology

Xu Tianyuan found a place for the four girls to stay in a restaurant in Tianji City.

That evening, a guest arrived at Qian Renxue's residence; it was none other than Bi Ji, the fourth of the Ten Ferocious Beasts.

Qian Renxue invited her in, then looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the enemy if you come out alone like this?"

"It's alright, my visit is a secret," Brigitte said succinctly. "Miss Angel, I've come to see you because I have something I'd like to discuss with you."

Qian Renxue nodded: "Please go ahead."

The four of them, including Qian Renxue, had separate rooms. At this moment, she was alone, receiving the Emerald Swan privately.

"Qiu'er and that one, you shouldn't have brought them here," Bi Ji said softly. "Originally, the Lord wanted to protect them from some undeserved disasters, which is why he chose to send the auspicious beasts to the Sun and Moon Empire."

Qian Renxue glanced at her without revealing her expression, thinking to herself that this soul beast probably really thought she was an idiot.

There's absolutely no way that Bi Ji came out alone; the fact that she came to find her must be at the behest of Di Tian, ​​or even possibly the Silver Dragon King.

"Then why don't you take them back?" Qian Renxue said calmly. "I believe you have a good idea why you sent them to the Sun Moon Empire."

"Then you probably have a pretty good idea why we launched the beast tide." Brigitte's voice was soft, but it was filled with a hint of determination.

Qian Renxue looked at her with a half-smile: "Wasn't it because your soul beasts were hit by Tang Hao's hammer a few times before, and then because a Chosen One appeared in Shrek City, or even the Azure Bull Python from ten thousand years ago, that caused them to act?"

"..." Brigitte frowned imperceptibly. "But, that rumor about the Chosen One, wasn't it deliberately leaked by you?"

"Who told you that?" Qian Renxue tilted her head.

"When the Beast God was sealed in the sky with the two Shrek Seven Devils, they had a brief exchange. From that Haotian Douluo, we even learned about your previous actions. This makes us think that you were plotting against us soul beasts," said Bi Ji.

"In Shrek Academy, the so-called 'chosen ones' are merely the result of the arrival of Haotian Douluo and the Azure Bull Python, which brought with them some divine aura that has been released outwards."

Qian Renxue smiled slightly: "I've noticed that you really do believe whatever others say. After the victory in the continental war four thousand years ago, Shrek Academy even said that the Sun Moon Empire was researching weapons of mass destruction and that they should continue their attack, but at that time the Sun Moon Empire didn't even have a single level nine Soul Master."

"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the overlord of the sea spirit beasts, was labeled an evil spirit beast by the Sea God just because he swallowed a few small fish after waking up; Tang San and Tang Hao would say that they would do anything for their spirit beast wives; and now Shrek Academy even says that ten thousand years ago they were fighting the Spirit Hall for the benefit of all mankind." Qian Renxue continued with a smile.

"Lady Brigitte, the world is full of lies, while you are spotless. With a little diversion, you forget that Tang Hao once dug tunnels under your land, and instead turn your anger towards me."

Actually, Qian Renxue was a little surprised at this point. She didn't expect that Biji had come to force her way out of the palace, nor did she expect that the soul beast clan would be so straightforward.

She even suspected that if Tang San had another son and sent him to the mortal realm, where he seduced a spirit beast wife, the spirit beast race would gradually be tamed.

"You mean, what you've spread isn't just a rumor? It's different from the supposed place where the divine beast perished last time?" "What if I told you that the daughter of the Asura God is also in this city?" Qian Renxue stared into Bi Ji's eyes. "What if I also told you that of those who were among the first to become gods, that little rabbit is already in my hands?"

She couldn't help but have some doubts, because Qiu'er had seen Xiao Wu before.

At this moment, Brigitte breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'm relieved."

"Hmm?" Qian Renxue looked at her.

"Actually, the Lord knows that the rabbit is in your hands. However, Di Tian still wants confirmation from you." Bi Ji shook her head. "Please forgive my rudeness, but Haotian Douluo and Tianqing Bull Python have been repeating this to Di Tian over and over again, which has made him a little suspicious."

Qian Renxue lowered her eyes: "I thought we had a solid cooperative relationship, but I didn't expect that cracks would appear so quickly after I was verbally attacked."

"Don't forget, I'm here to research the techniques of spirit ring ascension and spirit gathering," Qian Renxue said slowly. "Your spirit beast race is destined to be enemies with humans because of the issue of spirit rings. Now you actually doubt the person who can solve this problem in the future just because of a little provocation. Should I call you stupid or what?"

Brigitte hesitated for a moment: "Then how about we make it up to you? Now that I have a definite answer, I will naturally have no more doubts. Moreover, the news that the daughter of the Asura God is also in Shrek City is something we really didn't expect. This information is enough for us to offer our apologies."

Among the spirit beasts, Bi Ji is considered one of the more approachable ones. However, during this beast tide, she also harbored hostility towards Shrek Academy's actions. If Shrek Academy hadn't produced a man-made spirit ring technology (also known as spirit spirit in the original text) that could change her mind like Qian Renxue, then there would have been no possibility of reconciliation between them in the future.

"Oh? How do you plan to compensate me?" Qian Renxue looked at Biji with great interest.

"During this war, a rather arrogant 100,000-year-old soul beast sacrificed itself. Its race was a six-winged dark gold tiger, and it died from the continuous bombardment of those terrible human weapons." A trace of sadness flowed in Bi Ji's eyes. "Because it wasn't killed by humans, its soul ring was considered unclaimed. I collected it and used it to heal other soul beasts. But 100,000-year-old soul beasts always leave behind soul bones."

"A six-winged dark gold tiger?" Qian Renxue was surprised, because she remembered that when she first came to this era, her first opponent was a thousand-year-old two-winged demonic tiger. This kind of soul beast gains a pair of wings for each level it advances, and after 100,000 years, it will have six wings and possess three attributes.

Perhaps it evolved for 100,000 years, so it changed its name.

"Yes, after it sacrificed itself, it left behind a wing-shaped external spirit bone." Brigitte composed herself. "This spirit bone can be considered an apology for what I said before."

They continued their discussion, and after that, Biji didn't mention Qiu'er and Nana again, because she already knew that Qian Renxue, at least on the surface, had not harbored any ill will towards Xingdou's soul beasts.

"If I were a bad person, I would have imprisoned Qiu'er in the Sun Moon Empire, and none of you would ever be able to return," Qian Renxue said.

After the conversation ended, Brigitte hurriedly left. The information she had obtained today was quite extensive, even exceeding almost all previously known intelligence. After receiving confirmation from Qian Renxue, she needed to report the matter immediately.

After Biji left, Qian Renxue coldly looked out the window, feeling a little disappointed.

"Half a month ago..." She closed the window, "The timing of Di Tian breaking the seal and the time when Nana discovered the spatial rift seem to overlap somewhat."
