In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

Qian Renxue smiled faintly, "Then I'll be watching closely."

Before long, the air was filled with a delicious aroma. The two of them were enjoying the fragrant rabbit skewers.

"Aren't you worried about attracting soul beasts by grilling meat so recklessly in the Star Dou Great Forest?" Qian Renxue asked casually as she took a bite of rabbit meat and chewed slowly.

"What's there to be afraid of? This place is located at the border between the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest and the Mixed Zone. Only thousand-year-old soul beasts appear relatively frequently, and ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are extremely rare. Besides, even if a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast attacks, with a Soul Emperor-level expert like you here, what do I have to be afraid of?" Lan Si curled his lips. He knew that there were always two Title Douluos secretly protecting Qian Renxue. Even if a powerful soul beast attacked, there were taller people to hold it off. What did he have to be afraid of?

"You're quite smug." A hint of pride flashed through Qian Renxue's mind. She had only just turned twenty this year, yet she already possessed the strength of a Soul Emperor. Compared to her, the so-called number one young Title Douluo on the continent was nothing at all.

This was even with her neglecting cultivation; otherwise, her achievements could have been even greater.

(ps: When Tang San was twenty, the Heaven Dou Palace Coup occurred. Qian Renxue said that she had been lying low for twenty years. She started lying low when she was eight or nine years old. At that time, she was twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old. Five years later, she became a god in her thirties. Now there are still eight years until the Heaven Dou Palace Coup. Therefore, it is predicted that Qian Renxue will advance to the Soul Emperor at the age of twenty, without consuming immortal herbs and due to neglecting cultivation while lying low.)

"Xue'er..." Lan Si took a bite of mutton.

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Qian Renxue frown and glare at him. "Hmm?"

Lan Si swallowed hard and quickly corrected himself: "Oh no, Miss Leng Xue."

Qian Renxue frowned again, clearly disliking the address. She then let out a long sigh and said, "Fine, fine, just call me Xue'er."

Lan Si nodded and said, "Okay, then you can call me A Si from now on. That's what people who are familiar with me call me."

"A-Si...A-Si..." Qian Renxue murmured, then smiled and said, "Your name is surprisingly easy to pronounce. Speaking of which, A-Si, what are your plans after leaving the Star Dou Great Forest?"

The First Evolution

"I'm going to enroll at the Blue Tyrant Advanced Soul Master Academy in Heaven Dou City." Lan Si didn't hide anything. He was certain that during the time he was absorbing soul rings, Qian Renxue had already thoroughly investigated his background.

"Why not go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Although Blue Tyrant Academy is an advanced Soul Master Academy, its overall strength is not outstanding. In two years, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, held every five years, will be held. With your strength, if you join a Soul Master Academy with a strong team, you will definitely shine in the Soul Master Tournament. The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is quite good. Among this year's team members, there is even a Soul Master with the number one beast martial soul in the world, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."

Qian Renxue patiently persuaded her. She knew that two years later, the Golden Generation trained by that woman would also participate in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition. If she could, she really wanted to personally go on stage, crush that so-called Golden Generation, prove herself, and provoke the other party.

But that's obviously unrealistic. However, things are different now that Lan Si is here. As expected, that woman has already taken Lan Si as her own. If Lan Si goes on stage and defeats that woman's disciple...

That scene must be very interesting.

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Lan Si couldn't help but roll her eyes: "You're right, but you forgot one thing: I'm a commoner, while the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy only admits nobles."

"These are minor matters; leave them to me," Qian Renxue said with a smile.

"You?" Lan Si deliberately gave him a suspicious look.

"What? Am I not good enough?" Qian Renxue said coquettishly.

Lan Si shook his head and said in a serious tone, "It's not impossible. With your talent and temperament, I can tell that you have received a good noble education. I'm just wondering what your identity is. When I saw you absorbing the spirit ring earlier, I saw a pair of wings on your back. The spirit of the Heaven Dou royal family is a swan. You wouldn't happen to be a princess of the Heaven Dou Empire, would you!"

"No, no, the Heavenly Dou royal family's surname is Xue, and yours is Leng. You wouldn't happen to be that old man Xue Ye's illegitimate daughter, would you!"

Upon hearing Lan Si's conjecture, Qian Renxue was instantly amused. To call the emperor of one of the two great empires, Emperor Xueye, "Old Man Xueye," this little guy is truly fearless in his ignorance.

However, this was for the best, saving him from having to waste his breath. He immediately lowered his head and began to put on his Oscar-worthy acting skills, using his soul power to forcibly force the tears out of his eyes. Instantly, tears streamed down his face.

Seeing this, Lan Si couldn't help but think "Wow!" and exclaimed, "Oscar-worthy actor!"

Since that's the case, why don't we, Lan A-Si, play along with her and put on an act?

Anyway, Blue Tyrant Academy will be renamed Shrek Academy in the future, and he doesn't want to get involved with that damned master. Now that he has a better option, why not?

"I'm sorry, Xue'er, I didn't mean to bring up your sad memories." Lan Si got up and sat down next to Qian Renxue, gently patting the latter's back to comfort her.

"Now that you know all this, what do you plan to do in the future?" Qian Renxue raised her head, her eyes red, and asked dramatically.

"I swear, without your permission, I will never reveal your identity to a third person. If I go back on my word, may I never find a wife again." Lan Si conscientiously held up three fingers. Anyway, this was just talk; Douluo Continent isn't like the Primordial World where there's a Heavenly Dao, so lying is free.

For example, the oath might say that he won't be able to find a wife in the future, but that doesn't mean he can't find one now. He has Xiaomao Mi first, and Qian Renxue later, so he might as well only marry the two of them in this lifetime.

Hearing this, Qian Renxue finally stopped crying and smiled, raising her hand, "You keep your word."

"A promise is a promise." Lan Si and she made a high five to swear their oath. And it's true, Qian Renxue's hands were even softer than a kitten's.

Chapter Thirty-Two: Qian Renxue's Decision

"Here, take this." Qian Renxue took out a token with the character "Xue" on it from her storage soul tool.

"What is this?" Lan Si asked, somewhat surprised, as she took the token.

Qian Renxue solemnly said, "This is the token of Xue Qinghe, the current Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire. He is my brother and the only person in the world besides you and Emperor Xue Ye who knows of my existence. Once you arrive at the Tiandou Royal Academy, you cannot mention my existence to anyone except Xue Qinghe, not even when you see Emperor Xue Ye."

"What if I let something slip?" Lan Si asked tentatively.

"They will die, they will never see the sun rise the next day, including the person you told." Qian Renxue revealed a dangerous smile.

"Um... since it's so dangerous, can I just not use this token? If all else fails, I might as well go to Blue Tyrant Academy." Lan Si shuddered for no reason. He was certain that if he exposed Qian Renxue's existence, the latter would really kill him.

"What do you think?" Qian Renxue asked in return, then sat down to the side and leisurely began to eat the roasted rabbit.

"Alright." Lan Si shook his head helplessly. He knew he was on a sinking ship this time. But it was all for the best. With Qian Renxue as his protector, at least during his period of quiet development, he didn't have to worry about being coveted by other forces.

After eating the rabbit meat, Lan Si tidied up briefly and then prepared to leave.

"Hey, Xue'er, do you want to come with me to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy?" Lan Si asked casually.

"No, I plan to go straight back to Tiandou City." Qian Renxue shook her head, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.

Lan Si continued, "Then how will I find you in the future? Will I go to the Crown Prince's residence?"

Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback, then asked, "What do you want with me?"

Lan Si rolled her eyes, giving him a look as if he were an idiot.

"What kind of look is that?" Meeting Lan Si's glare, Qian Renxue said coquettishly, "Fine, I won't joke with you anymore. If you need anything next time, just go to the Crown Prince's residence and find Xue Qinghe. He'll send someone to inform me. But remember, you're not allowed to mention my existence to anyone except Xue Qinghe. Otherwise..."

"I know, I know." Lan Si waved her hand impatiently and muttered, "So fierce, eight out of ten sentences are threats. Be careful you won't be able to get married in the future..."

"What did you say?" Qian Renxue's hearing was amazing. She heard Lan Si complaining and shouted in a sweet voice.

"No, no... nothing. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." As she spoke, Lan Si summoned a blue lotus, leaped onto it, and was about to fly away.

Then Qian Renxue said, "Come back."

"What is it now, eldest sister?" Lan Si asked, somewhat displeased.

“You’re going the wrong way. The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is over there.” Qian Renxue pointed in another direction, then took out a map from her soul tool and tossed it to Lan Si.

Lan Si glanced at the map, feeling a pang of embarrassment. He chuckled awkwardly, turned around, and sped off in the direction Qian Renxue had pointed.

After Lan Si had gone far away, Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo emerged from the shadows.

"Young Master, isn't this too risky?" Serpent Spear Douluo frowned, somewhat worried.

The Porcupine Douluo also frowned and replied, "Yes, Young Master, if Xue Qinghe is linked to you, and this kid becomes suspicious, it will have a huge impact on the Spirit Hall's plan to seize power in the Heaven Dou Dynasty."

Qian Renxue, brimming with confidence, chuckled, "Don't worry, don't let his seemingly foolish appearance fool you. He's actually incredibly cunning, and his ability to calculate risks is top-notch. Even if he guesses something, he won't expose it. Besides, do you really think someone who calls Emperor Xueye 'Old Man Xueye' would risk his life to tip off the Heavenly Dou Empire?"

"For example, since we've decided to recruit him, he'll find out my identity sooner or later. We can take this opportunity to test him out."

Upon hearing this, Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo exchanged glances and smiled at each other. Then, they cupped their hands to Qian Renxue and said in unison, "Young Master is wise."

Qian Renxue nodded with some pride and said, "However, what the two uncles said makes sense. Uncle Shelong, you should go and observe secretly for a while. If there are no problems, then come back."

"Yes, Young Master." Serpent Spear Douluo replied respectfully, and with a flash, he rushed towards the direction where Lan Si was.

..........

The Kingdom of Barak is located in the south of the Heaven Dou Empire, bordering the Province of Fasno. Although it is called a kingdom, its area is only three-quarters the size of the Province of Fasno. It belongs to the Heaven Dou Empire and is one of the four kingdoms within the Heaven Dou Empire.

Located in the heart of the most fertile Lima Plain within the Kingdom of Barak, Soto City is known as the granary of Barak.

After parting ways with Lan Si, Zhu Zhuqing spent some time recuperating from her injuries. Once she was sure that no hidden ailments remained in her body, she hired a carriage and spent nearly three or four days before finally arriving at her destination: Soto City.

It was midday, and under the blazing sun, there wasn't a cloud in the sky and not a breath of wind. Neither the lake at the foot of the mountain nor the towering, thousand-meter-high mountain covered in various plants seemed listless and languid.

After getting off the carriage, Zhu Zhuqing strolled along the main street of Soto City. Perhaps due to the fatigue from the long carriage ride, or for other reasons, her steps were somewhat unsteady.

"If one day you feel you have nowhere to go, you can come to Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou City to find me."

"Just try your best, and that's enough. Even if you fail, it's okay. Because I will protect you..."

Lan Si's words kept echoing in Zhu Zhuqing's mind.

This was the first time someone had said they would protect her, and they actually did it, protecting her from her sister, who possessed the strength of a Soul Master, with the power of a Level 30 Soul Master at the second ring.

Although he used some tricks, he did succeed.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she was in a daze. Ever since they parted, the image of Lan Si had been constantly echoing in Zhu Zhuqing's mind.

Just as she was about to fall into a pit filled with fallen stakes and wild beasts, Lan Si suddenly appeared and caught her in mid-air, saving her from becoming food for the beasts.

Faced with Zhu Zhuyun's coercion, who possessed the strength of a Soul Master, he calmly responded and used a unique weapon to drive her away.

Before losing consciousness, the other person was holding me... bandaging my wounds... and finally, before parting, carrying me away from the forest.

The images lingered in Zhu Zhuqing's mind.

Only after Lan Si left did Zhu Zhuqing realize that the former had left an indelible impression on her.

"Awoo..." Just then, a tiger's roar interrupted Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Zhu Zhuqing Enters the Academy of Scammers

Zhu Zhuqing subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw a couples' bar called Rose Hotel in front of her. Inside the lobby, a Great Soul Master with the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was engaged in fierce combat with a Soul Venerable with the White Tiger Martial Soul. A girl wearing a rabbit headdress and two twin sisters stood behind the two of them, watching the battle.

Upon seeing the Soul Master with the White Tiger Martial Soul, Zhu Zhuqing's pupils immediately contracted, and she bit her red lips, "It's him..."

She recognized him at first glance—her nominal fiancé, Dai Mubai, the scumbag who had abandoned her, put her in extreme danger, and gone off to indulge in debauchery and womanizing.

The last time the two met was more than three years ago. She was nine years old that year, at a critical moment in her breakthrough to the Great Soul Master level, and was in seclusion breaking through to level 20; Dai Mubai was twelve years old, had already broken through to the Great Soul Master level, and his soul power had reached level 28.

When she emerged from seclusion, she learned from the servants that Dai Mubai had fled without a word.

Now, more than three years have passed, and she has changed tremendously in terms of figure, appearance, and strength. Dai Mubai may not even recognize her anymore.
