Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 208 This eerie atmosphere!

P.S. Could it be?! Could it be?! Will tomorrow be a battleground?!

"You're so pretty, miss!"

While Ning Rongrong and Qian Renxue remained silent, Han Feng suddenly grinned and chuckled.

Ning Rongrong was naturally confused, but Qian Renxue's delicate body trembled. All her previous tension vanished in an instant, replaced by excited joy. Qian Renxue smiled with relief, but her pale golden eyes were filled with tears. Although Qian Renxue tried her best not to embarrass herself in front of Han Feng, tears still flowed uncontrollably.

Why is Qian Renxue nervous?

Isn't it precisely because she's worried that with the passage of time, her relationship with Han Feng has changed, that a rift has formed, and that they've grown distant?

But Han Feng's words completely dispelled all the tension!

Wasn't that exactly what Han Feng said the first thing after he opened his eyes when I rescued him?

That day, it was those words that warmed Qian Renxue's already cold heart. And now, it is those words that make Qian Renxue feel as if she has returned to the Star Dou Great Forest of that year, and as if she can see that annoying yet endearing little Han Feng again!

"I think Xiaofeng looks better in a dress!"

Qian Renxue was overjoyed and burst into tears, seemingly blaming Han Feng for making her cry, and said in a coquettish tone.

Qian Renxue's words made Ning Rongrong's eyes light up!

She had never seen Han Feng wear a skirt before. That day, Xue Ke stirred up trouble and wanted Han Feng to wear a skirt, but Han Feng refused righteously. She thought Han Feng didn't know how to wear one!

Noticing Ning Rongrong's gaze, Han Feng rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "I had no choice! If I had a soul tool back then, I would have absolutely refused to comply, even at the cost of my life!"

After Han Feng finished speaking, Ning Rongrong's eyes inevitably dimmed, and at the same time she felt a little envious of Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue didn't continue teasing Han Feng. She simply wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, walked step by step to Han Feng, slowly raised her slender hand, and gently stroked Han Feng's cheek. She murmured with relief and sweetness, "Our little Feng has grown up! He's already a Soul Master. Sister can no longer protect him like before..."

Qian Renxue deliberately concealed her soul power fluctuations, never exceeding the Soul Master level, which was also her initial self-assessment.

Han Feng grinned shamelessly and declared without hesitation, "From now on, it's my turn to protect Sister Qianqian!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue subconsciously wanted to pat Han Feng's head, but suddenly realized that Han Feng was already much shorter than her. In a few years, she would probably have to raise her hand to touch Han Feng's head!

After a slight pause, Qian Renxue still patted Han Feng's head and rubbed it hard, as if she wanted to remember the feeling!

At this moment, Qian Renxue thought to herself, "In a few more years, I won't be able to touch it anymore!"

At the same time, seeing Qian Renxue and Han Feng's intimate appearance, Ning Rongrong's eyes almost burned with rage!

If it were just a simple sibling relationship, that would be fine, but Qian Renxue clearly harbors ulterior motives towards Han Feng!

Seemingly noticing Ning Rongrong's expression, Qian Renxue felt a surge of superior pride for no reason. She even winked at Ning Rongrong unconsciously and moved closer and closer to Han Feng, eventually even trying to hug him!

At this moment, Ning Rongrong couldn't hold back any longer. She suddenly appeared between Han Feng and Qian Renxue, grabbed Han Feng with both hands, stopping Qian Renxue's movements, and asked Han Feng pitifully, "Han Feng, you still haven't told me how you know Sister Qianqian!"

Interrupted by Ning Rongrong, Qian Renxue felt a little disappointed, but still had a sense of triumphant exhilaration.

Han Feng, on the other hand, seemed oblivious. Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, he smiled apologetically and quickly explained, "It was my oversight. Actually, that happened when I was eight years old. That year, I had just broken through to level 20 and went with my parents to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for my second spirit ring. However, we encountered an accident and got separated from my parents."

"It was Sister Qianqian who saved me back then. It was also Sister Qianqian who hunted down the spirit beast with the second spirit ring. That's how I met Sister Qianqian!"

To avoid worrying Ning Rongrong, Han Feng deliberately ignored the matter of the Flame Spirit Cat and the Lazy Giant Ape, and instead recounted his experience of meeting Qian Renxue in a roundabout way.

After listening to Han Feng's words, a look of reminiscence appeared on Qian Renxue's face—she felt that her most correct decision was that year when she ventured into the Star Dou Great Forest alone!

Before Qian Renxue could even sink into her memories, Ning Rongrong was clearly taken aback and asked blankly, "The second spirit ring? That Overactive Rhinoceros? But I remember you said that the Titan Giant Ape casually killed the Overactive Rhinoceros, and you just happened to stumble upon it, which is how you absorbed the Overactive Rhinoceros's spirit ring?"

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's expression froze instantly. She looked at Han Feng, her expression gradually darkening. She pinched Han Feng's cheeks with her jade-like hands, pulling hard as she asked calmly, "So, I'm a Titan Ape, right?"

How could Han Feng possibly include such a savage and ugly soul beast as his character?!

At this moment, even if Han Feng was simple-minded, he knew something was wrong. He swallowed hard, chuckled awkwardly with a shifty look in his eyes, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead as he seemed to be thinking about how to answer.

But as Qian Renxue drew closer, the scent emanating from her snow-white neck startled Han Feng: "Sister Qianqian, how come you... smell like Brother Xue?"

Qian Renxue's heart skipped a beat, and she almost jumped back. However, her years of undercover experience had honed her acting skills to perfection. Instead of retreating, she advanced, almost pressing her face against Han Feng's. Her eyebrows furrowed, and she said sternly, "Stop changing the subject! My sister and Brother Qinghe both live in the palace. This is a royal-supplied perfume, so naturally it smells the same! You still haven't told your sister what the Titan Ape is all about!"

To cover up this lie, after Qian Renxue returned to the palace, she had to give her perfume to Xue Ke under the guise of a specially supplied perfume. Because of his studies at Yuexuan, Han Feng met with Xue Ke almost every day. Once he confirmed this information with Xue Ke, Han Feng would naturally have no more doubts!

After hearing Qian Renxue's explanation, although Xue Qinghe and his sister Qianqian had the same scent, which made Han Feng quite unhappy, he still nodded when he thought that Xue Qinghe was also a woman.

However, Qian Renxue's persistent questioning cornered Han Feng, leaving him with no way out. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him. He retrieved the Crystal King Peony from his soul tool and handed it to Qian Renxue, saying, "Sister Qianqian, didn't you previously stagnate in your cultivation because of forcing it to grow too quickly? This Crystal King Peony can help clear your blocked meridians and help you advance further!"

"Didn't Sister Qianqian want a gift? I wonder if Sister Qianqian is satisfied with this gift?"

Upon hearing Han Feng's words, Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, and then felt her eyes well up with tears!

She never expected that Han Feng would remember the lie she casually told back then; that Han Feng would take the request she made out of envy so seriously!

Qian Renxue even forgot to pretend to be angry. She looked at Han Feng, then at Crystal King Peony, and was speechless for a moment.

"Oh! Sister Qianqian, please accept this! It's Han Feng's heartfelt gift!" At this moment, Ning Rongrong came up, partly to help Han Feng out of the predicament, and partly because Han Feng and Qian Renxue's lips were almost touching, which made her feel compelled to step forward!

Ning Rongrong placed the Crystal Peony into Qian Renxue's hand, then smiled slyly and said meaningfully, "Although Han Feng said he would protect you, sister, he won't protect you forever! One day, he won't be able to protect you anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue became somewhat angry, giving Ning Rongrong a disapproving look, and asked Han Feng, "Xiao Feng, won't you always protect your sister?"

To everyone's surprise, Han Feng actually nodded and said matter-of-factly, "That's right! Even I can't protect my sister forever, can I?"

Isn't this just common sense?

After all, two people can't be together forever. Eating, sleeping, going to the bathroom—there will always be times when they have to separate. With Han Feng's limited understanding, he naturally wouldn't grasp that for girls, their so-called "always protecting me" is more symbolic than the actual meaning Han Feng envisions.

Qian Renxue choked upon hearing this, forced a couple of laughs, and her eyes dimmed slightly.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong smiled smugly as she saw the change in Qian Renxue's expression!

A woman who has not been hurt by Han Feng's "Iron Will" is not worthy to be my enemy!

Back then, I cried so much my eyes were swollen because of what Han Feng said!

However, Ning Rongrong miscalculated. Over the past two years, Han Feng had made some progress. Noticing the change in Qian Renxue's expression, Han Feng subconsciously explained, "Sister Qianqian, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong? But I didn't, did I? After all, I'm going to Yuexuan for further studies, and you also need to go back to the palace, Sister Qianqian..."

"Tsk!" Ning Rongrong clicked her tongue lightly. She had spent two years trying to soften Han Feng's heart, only to end up saving her love rival!

Qian Renxue, seeing Han Feng's unapology-filled and bewildered face, immediately understood what was going on. She quickly suppressed her distress and smiled, saying to Han Feng, "It's alright, it's alright! Xiao Feng did nothing wrong!"

At the same time, Qian Renxue passed Han Feng and her gaze collided with Ning Rongrong's. In a place where Han Feng could not see, invisible sparks burst forth in mid-air!

Qian Renxue realized that, regardless of her true feelings for Han Feng, she cared more about Ning Rongrong and Han Feng's relationship than she had imagined. Ning Rongrong, in turn, realized that Qian Renxue was clearly aiming for her position as Han Feng's official girlfriend. For a moment, the two women seemed to have reached a consensus.

"Let's start the war!" Qian Renxue and Ning Rongrong understood each other's meaning almost simultaneously, and both of their beautiful eyes narrowed!

At this moment, Han Feng frowned. He felt that something ominous was exploding behind him!
