Qian Renxue Came Calling, Burning with Jealousy

"My little shop really has been lively today."

"To what do I owe the honor of Your Highness's visit?"

Not long after Su Yu had seen Ning Rongrong off, Qian Renxue arrived on her heels, an oppressive air surrounding her.

Qian Renxue had come in a fury, her face cold with jealousy.

"Brother Su, I heard you tattooed a pair of angel wings on the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect today."

"It seems you're quite interested in this Ning Rongrong, Brother Su!"

"You were even willing to put in so much effort."

"My crown prince's residence has never treated you poorly, Brother Su, so why have I never seen you put that much care into me?"

"Could it be that you're the sort to forget your friends at the sight of a pretty face?"

Qian Renxue spoke with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, her tone dripping with sourness.

Qian Renxue felt deeply aggrieved and angry.

Heaven knew how devastated she had been when Snake Lance Douluo reported that Su Yu had tattooed a pair of angel wings on Ning Rongrong.

Who didn't know that the Qian Family was synonymous with angels?

On the entire Douluo Continent, only the Qian Family had any connection to angels.

Yet now Su Yu had tattooed a pair of angel wings on Ning Rongrong. This was practically a slap in the face of the Angel Clan.

Without the Qian Family bloodline, was she even worthy of laying a finger on anything to do with angels?

If that group in the Worship Hall found out about this,

they certainly wouldn't let Ning Rongrong off easily.

Su Yu might even be charged with grave disrespect.

Qian Renxue's head had throbbed when she learned of it.

She had wanted nothing more than to bite Su Yu to death.

Of all the things he could have tattooed,

he just had to choose something related to angels.

Wasn't that an outright provocation to the Angel Clan?

He really knew how to cause trouble for her.

If she hadn't valued Su Yu's potential, Qian Renxue wouldn't have gotten so worked up.

Of course, that wasn't what angered Qian Renxue most.

It was that Su Yu had treated Ning Rongrong too well.

Although she also had two tattoos Su Yu had given her,

the sunflower and sun flower couldn't compare to Ning Rongrong's angel wings, no matter how she looked at them.

Qian Renxue was so angry that her chest ached.

The corners of Su Yu's mouth twitched as Qian Renxue interrogated him.

Damn it!

Qian Renxue getting jealous while wearing Xue Qinghe's face was just too bizarre, however he looked at it.

If he hadn't known Qian Renxue's true identity,

Su Yu might have thought the person before him was gay.

The dignified crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire was giving off the sourness of a resentful wife. The sight was utterly surreal.

And Qian Renxue was being a little too unreasonable.

"Your Highness, weren't you the one who insisted on the sunflower and sun flower?"

"Back then, you kept saying you wanted to be the sun's favorite."

"So why are you blaming me now?"

Su Yu was speechless.

As a tattoo artist, he had let Qian Renxue choose her own designs back then.

He had never made a choice for Qian Renxue.

Over the years, with the help of her sunflower and sun flower tattoos, Qian Renxue had cultivated as though heaven itself were aiding her, breaking through all the way to the Soul Douluo realm.

In the original story, even by the time of the Heaven Dou Palace Coup, Qian Renxue had only been a Soul Saint.

But now, Qian Renxue was already a Soul Douluo.

That alone showed just how much the two tattoos Su Yu had given her had helped.

Qian Renxue had gained so much, yet she still complained that Su Yu hadn't cared enough.

This was turning the natural order on its head.

"That does seem to be what happened!"

Qian Renxue fell silent.

Su Yu's rebuttal left her at a loss for words.

All the sour remarks she had prepared were now stuck in her throat, and she couldn't get a single one out.

It seemed she really couldn't blame Su Yu.

After all, it had been her own choice.

Seeing Qian Renxue struck speechless, Su Yu decided to strike back.

He wasn't the sort to take a loss without retaliating.

"Speaking of which, Your Highness, I'm curious why you chose the sunflower and sun flower back then."

"As your employee, I shouldn't pry into your private affairs."

"But you said we were friends, so there shouldn't be any secrets between friends, right?"

"Those two tattoos don't seem to suit your status."

Su Yu narrowed his eyes and asked with a wicked grin.

Of course he knew why Qian Renxue had chosen those two tattoos.

But he had never asked before.

Today, however, Qian Renxue had dared to make sour remarks at him.

Su Yu had to pay her back and turn the tables on her.

Qian Renxue froze at Su Yu's question.

"Well, uh..."

Could she tell him why?

Of course not!

Her identity was her greatest secret.

Qian Renxue had poured countless effort and painstaking care into disguising herself as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe over the years.

At such a young age, she had left her home and homeland behind.

Now that she was only a few years away from replacing Xue Ye, she absolutely could not expose herself.

"What, you've gone quiet because the question is hard to answer?"

"It seems Your Highness doesn't consider me one of his own either."

"You aren't even willing to share such a little secret with me."

Su Yu pressed his advantage, stabbing at Qian Renxue's heart.

As a transmigrator, if he couldn't even handle one woman, how could he live up to his identity as a transmigrator?

Qian Renxue's face flushed red. Her mouth opened and closed, and in the end, all that came out was a helpless sigh.

"Brother Su, I'm sorry. I really can't tell you about this."

"But when the time comes, I promise I'll tell you all my secrets."

"I really do consider you one of my own."

"My feelings for you are real."

Qian Renxue apologized sincerely.

She admitted she had acted impulsively today.

She shouldn't have taken her temper out on Su Yu over such a small matter.

But that was mainly because Qian Renxue cared too much about Su Yu.

Su Yu was a promising prospect she had set her sights on.

In her heart, Su Yu was worth far more than even several Titled Douluo.

Su Yu hadn't expected Qian Renxue to bow her head and apologize so quickly, so he stopped stabbing at her heart.

She really knew when to bend and when to stand tall.

"Since Your Highness has put it that way,"

"I naturally won't hold it against you."

"You and I are brothers, brothers for life."

"But to make up for the hurt you caused me,"

"you have to sleep in the same bed with me tonight."

Su Yu wrapped an arm around Qian Renxue's shoulders and blew mischievously into her ear.

Su Yu often teased Qian Renxue in all sorts of ways.

It couldn't be helped. Qian Renxue was a must-have heroine in Douluo.

Naturally, Su Yu wouldn't pass up any chance to get close to Qian Renxue.

Today, Qian Renxue had delivered herself to his door and even given him an opportunity.

Su Yu would be a fool not to take advantage.

"That wouldn't be very proper..."

Qian Renxue's face turned bright red with embarrassment.

She was still an untouched maiden. How could she sleep in the same bed as Su Yu?

He wasn't her husband.

Even if the two of them lay in the same bed and nothing happened, it would still be wrong.

"What's improper about it?"

"Your Highness, you aren't thinking of something inappropriate, are you?"

Su Yu continued to speak into Qian Renxue's ear, his tone teasing.

"It's perfectly normal for brothers to eat and drink together."

"Your Highness is so resistant. Surely your thoughts haven't gone astray?"

Qian Renxue surrendered and accepted her fate.

She had discovered that Su Yu's little mouth really could chatter!

In any case, she and Su Yu were just friends, so nothing should go wrong.

Then she would agree!

It would also be a good chance to bring her closer to Su Yu.

"Jie jie jie!"

Seeing Qian Renxue agree,

Su Yu immediately broke into a wicked, triumphant grin.

Sure enough, Qian Renxue was easy to fool while posing as Xue Qinghe.

If Qian Renxue hadn't been posing as the man Xue Qinghe, Su Yu really wouldn't have found so many chances to take advantage of her.

"Brother Su, before that, there's something else I'd like to ask of you."

"I'd like you to give me another tattoo."

"For the design, I'll choose Sun God Apollo's golden bow and arrow."

The tattoo design manual Su Yu had drawn was opened to a brilliant golden bow and arrow, with every detail about the tattoo recorded on the page.

Qian Renxue had come to see Su Yu today not just out of jealousy; she naturally had serious business as well.

She needed more tattoos to help her grow stronger.

Her tattoos had to surpass Ning Rongrong's.

As soon as she finished speaking,

a strange expression appeared on Su Yu's face.

"What the heck?"

"Is Qian Renxue going to keep marching down the path of becoming the Sun God without ever looking back?"

With the blessings of her sunflower and sun flower tattoos, Qian Renxue was already the sun's favorite.

If she added Sun God Apollo's golden bow and arrow to that,

wouldn't that mean...
