First Meeting with Xue Qinghe

Wei Lin had probably never imagined that the lord of Skywater City would bring a group of people to lay bricks. At that moment, he was sitting in the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds atop Tianshu Tower.

"That's roughly everything that's happened during this period."

Ganyu briefly reported on Tianshu's recent direction of operations, even though Wei Lin had told them more than once, "You can make the decisions. I trust you."

"Sister Ganyu, you can make the decisions. I really don't understand how to govern."

Ganyu said nothing, just kept staring at him until Wei Lin felt guilty for no reason.

"All right, all right, I'll find some time to pitch in, but I'm definitely not staying here all the time."

Only then was Ganyu satisfied with his answer.

Wei Lin wasn't going to admit defeat so easily. He took Ganyu's hand and gently kneaded it.

"!!!"

Ganyu's little face flushed red in an instant, but she didn't pull away.

"By the way, where's Xi?"

"Oh, you mean Little Little Lin? I reckon she's gone to Heaven Dou to hunt for Soul Rings."

"??? She went to hunt for Soul Rings? Are you sure she didn't go looking for trouble for me?"

"Don't you know yourself by now?"

Emm... true, I don't seem to be all that well-behaved myself... bullshit! I'm obviously an honest kid!

Meanwhile, on the road to Heaven Dou City.

Wei Xi suddenly sneezed.

"Achoo! Who's bad-mouthing me?"

"Young miss, have you caught a cold?"

The man beside her hurriedly took out some Little Sunflower cold medicine, ready to make her a packet.

"No. Old Mo, why do you have everything prepared?"

Mo Xuan made the cold medicine.

"Young miss, you're still quite weak. It's always useful to have some other things prepared in advance. I may not need to use them, but I can't be without them."

"I'm not that weak, actually. Besides, aren't you here too?"

Wei Xi didn't believe anyone could hurt her with Mo Xuan there, not even Spirit Hall's level 99 Peerless Douluo.

Mo Xuan / Male / Level: 99 / Martial Souls: Ender Mirror / Everglow Mirror / Position: 87th seat of Tianshu Hall

Mo Xuan's Martial Souls were all about their mechanics. For example, his First Martial Soul could create an image of an opponent, and any damage the image received would be transferred to the opponent.

In other words, he could make anyone kill themselves.

The Everglow Mirror, on the other hand, could copy himself or others, and every copy had a hundred percent of the original's full strength.

He was also the only one of the first five people Wei Lin had summoned whose Soul Rings were all complete.

A level 99 Peerless Douluo with twin Martial Souls, plus the resonance of three Soul Cores, plus Four-Word Battle Armor, plus a Level 9 Soul Engineer.

Even in Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King, he would have been in first place by a crushing margin.

His First Martial Soul's Soul Rings were all red, while his Second Martial Soul's were all orange-gold.

If that still wasn't enough, he also had four Soul Spirits: two hundred-thousand-year ones, a three-hundred-thousand-year one, and a six-hundred-thousand-year one.

Even if everyone on the entire Douluo Continent came after him, he'd dare say the advantage was his.

Back then, Wei Lin had fought him.

And guess what? All he could do was copy himself.

Although it was only a half-finished version, one had to understand that so-and-so's Five Directional Flags, even after being nerfed countless times, weren't something an ordinary person could copy.

"Young miss, we're almost at Heaven Dou City."

"Huh? We're already almost there?"

Wei Lin abruptly pulled back the curtain and looked at the city ahead.

"Tsk, it doesn't even feel as big as Tianshu."

Wei Lin slowly stepped out. She wasn't wearing anything particularly lavish, just a little pink dress, white stockings and little leather shoes on her legs and feet. Her hair was tied in two ponytails, with a tiny silver crystal crown on her head.

One glance was enough to tell that her background was anything but ordinary.

Wei Xi chose not to continue riding in the sedan chair. The bumpy ride had made her backside ache.

If she didn't get carsick, she would have wanted to drive here.

"Old Mo, keep up. I want to see what this Heaven Dou City is like."

Wei Xi quickened her pace a little. This time, she was definitely going to have some fun.

As for hunting Soul Rings? What a joke. Did she need to hunt for Soul Rings? She could just buy one directly from the shop.

Old Wei was paying anyway. They were the same person, so there was no need to draw a line between them, was there?

Her Martial Souls were the Holy Angel and the Human Emperor Banner. The latter didn't need a Martial Soul; she would produce them herself. For the Holy Angel, she had chosen a thirty-thousand-year Holy Spirit.

It had directly provided her with three Soul Rings.

In other words, she was now a six-year-old level 33 Battle Soul Elder.

"So this is Heaven Dou City? It doesn't seem like much."

Wei Xi licked a tanghulu, her voice muffled.

"Still, compared to other cities, it's a lot better."

"This is Heaven Dou's capital, after all. It's already quite impressive that it's developed this far."

Mo Xuan didn't seem to feel much about it. In his opinion, the Douluo Continent wasn't much to speak of.

As a member of Tianshu Tower's conservative faction, he had always thought the bastards in the radical faction were far too conservative.

If you ask me, we should just send an army and bring this place into our territory.

Who could stop us? Who would dare?

Mo Xuan didn't know that Tianshu's NPCs were forbidden from leaving Tianshu.

As he saw it, it was just that the radicals always wanted to take things one step at a time.

"Little princess, surely our Heaven Dou City can be considered prosperous?"

An elegant youth of seventeen or eighteen slowly walked toward her.

A squad of guards was at his side.

"And you are?"

Although Wei Xi already had an answer in mind, she still put on a puzzled little expression.

Seeing Wei Xi's adorably lethal head tilt,

Xue Qinghe felt as though his heart had been pierced.

So cute...

How could there be such a cute little girl in this world? Especially with Wei Xi still chewing on a tanghulu.

Her little cheeks bulged like a hamster's.

"Ahem, I am Xue Qinghe. May I ask your name, young lady?"

"Huh? Me? Wei Xi."

Wei Xi?

Xue Qinghe repeated the two characters of her name under her breath. Suddenly, she remembered the Martial Soul Awakening half a month ago that had shaken the world. Could it be...

"Judging by your age, young lady, you must be six already. I wonder, have you undergone your Martial Soul Awakening? I could still be of some help."

"I have. It caused such a stir half a month ago. How could you not know?"

Xue Qinghe froze. Wait... you're just laying your cards on the table like that?

That left her completely at a loss.

"Your Highness, why are you so silly?"

Xue Qinghe didn't question how Wei Xi knew her identity.

Her identity wasn't a secret. Anyone who knew anything about her could figure it out.

She was in Heaven Dou City and had guards with her. Didn't that already give away the answer?

"Miss Wei Xi, since you've just arrived, how about I show you around Heaven Dou City? I'll pay for everything."

Wei Xi blinked and felt the few Gold Soul Coins in her pocket.

With a rich lady offering to treat her, it was hard to refuse.

"Then sorry for the trouble, Your Highness. Just call me Xi."

"All right. Then don't call me Your Highness either. It makes me feel old. Just call me Qinghe."
