Qian Renxue noticed Su Zui's surprise and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Su Zui was quite excited and immediately picked Qian Renxue up in his arms. "Snow Sister, I just used my Martial Soul ability to deduce it, and I've found a way to restore your Martial Soul."
Upon hearing Su Zui's words, Qian Renxue froze, even her breath caught in her throat for a moment.
Ever since her Martial Soul became Fallen Angel, Qian Renxue had resigned herself to her fate. She even thought that she would be trapped in the word "fallen" for the rest of her life and would never be able to touch the light again.
At that moment, Su Zui's words gave her a glimmer of hope.
Qian Renxue was held in Su Zui's arms. She stared blankly at Su Zui, her voice trembling slightly. "Xiao Zui, you... you're telling the truth? I still have a chance to fully recover?"
Su Zui nodded emphatically and recounted everything she had seen.
"I just saw that you need three things to change your Martial Soul back."
"The first one, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red."
Su Zui explained slowly.
"The flower that brings love to the heart is called the King of Flowers; it has the power to bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, and it also has the ability to defy fate..."
"The second item Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower."
"This is a pure Yang immortal item, specifically designed to counteract all Yin and evil impurities. The malevolent Baleful Aura and residual dark impurities accumulated in your Martial Soul can be gradually washed away with it, completely removing the corrupt aura from your Martial Soul..."
"The last item: the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent Inner Core."
Su Zui spoke earnestly, each word clear. "Its supreme Yang power is the most domineering. On the basis of the first two immortal items stabilizing your Divine Soul and purifying impurities, it uses the primordial true fire of the Blazing Sun Serpent's inner core to reshape your bloodline Martial Soul and awaken your dormant Six-Winged Angel origin."
"All three are indispensable."
Looking at Qian Renxue's increasingly bright eyes, Su Zui smiled and said, "Snow Sister, be optimistic! Your essence is still that of Angel, only corrupted by external forces. As long as you gather these three things, you can definitely shed your fallen form and regain the glory of Six-Winged Angel."
The room was still dim, but a long-lost light shone in Qian Renxue's eyes.
All the pent-up frustration, resentment, and despair that Qian Renxue had been suppressing for so long vanished in that instant.
She looked at Su Zui, her heart warming, her eyes slightly reddening.
However, at that moment, Su Zui suddenly composed himself and his expression became extremely serious.
He tilted his head slightly, his gaze fixed on Qian Renxue's face, and asked softly, "Sister, do you have a lover?"
A sudden remark instantly silenced the entire quiet passageway.
Qian Renxue instantly, her mind going completely blank.
Caught off guard, she met Su Zui's clear and earnest eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, her heart pounded wildly, and a burning sensation spread from her neck to her entire face.
A bright red flush instantly spread across her fair face, making her look exquisitely beautiful.
She instinctively held her breath, her eyes darting around in a panic, her mind instantly in turmoil.
She thought that Su Zui had finally come to his senses.
She thought this brat was testing her feelings, wanting to know if she had someone she liked and if she was single.
Countless fragmented thoughts exploded in her mind in an instant. Qian Renxue's ears burned, and she was immersed in a shy reverie. Even her hands and feet felt slightly hot and stiff.
Just as her mind was racing, her cheeks flushed, and she was secretly struggling with how to respond, Su Zui's leisurely voice rang out again, shattering all her fantasies.
"The reason I asked this is because the conditions for picking and acquiring the Lovesick Heartbreak Red are extremely demanding."
"This flower cannot be touched by a heartless person. Only those who constantly think of their beloved and whose hearts are filled with deep affection can resonate with it, successfully pluck it, and gain its approval."
With just one sentence, all of Qian Renxue's romantic thoughts were instantly shattered.
Just moments ago, Qian Renxue was filled with shyness and her heart was pounding, but her face instantly darkened, and all the shyness in her eyes disappeared, replaced by anger and frustration.
I was blushing and my heart was pounding for ages, only to find out that's not what they meant at all!
All that talk of enlightenment or testing someone's feelings was just her own wild imagination!
That brat is deliberately keeping us in suspense!
Qian Renxue puffed out her cheeks slightly in anger, her beautiful eyes glaring at Su Zui with a resentful look, and her fists clenched quietly.
She took a deep breath, suppressing the awkward mix of embarrassment and anger in her heart, and said firmly, "You don't need to worry about that."
Whether I can gain the approval of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red is something I know in my own heart; you don't need to worry about it.
Her tone carried a clear hint of temper, indicating that she was quite annoyed by Su Zui.
Su Zui was slightly taken aback when he saw her puffed-up face, not understanding why she had suddenly become angry.
But the next second, a thought involuntarily popped into his mind.
Unexpectedly, Snow Sister already has someone she likes.
Otherwise, given the stringent requirements of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, she would never have been able to gain full confidence in being accepted.
For some reason, the moment this thought popped into Su Zui's head, an inexplicable surge of anger welled up inside him.
A dull ache in my chest, an indescribable awkwardness and irritability.
He frowned almost imperceptibly, inwardly grumbling to himself.
Which bastard dared to steal our cabbage?
That's absolutely despicable!
However, Su Zui felt somewhat discouraged afterward.
Qian Renxue is my older sister. She has a lover, so why would she need to report to me specifically?
Su Zui felt a strange sense of unease.
Logically speaking, since Snow Sister has found a lover, it means she can get rid of the lovesickness and heartbreak, and can also transform her Martial Soul back into Six-Winged Angel, which is a good thing.
But what exactly is causing my sadness?
Su Zui felt that this must be what it's like for a parent to watch their precious Xiao Bai being eaten by a pig.
Just then, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice rang out lazily.
"Hey Xiao Zui, are you jealous?"
The sudden speech of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm startled Su Zui.
He quickly said to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, "Tian Meng, don't be silly. What am I jealous of? I'm just a little heartbroken, like someone has stolen my cabbage."
The more Su Zui spoke, the less confident she felt, and eventually she couldn't speak anymore.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm patted Su Zui's head mischievously. "Xiao Zui, let me tell you a story. After you hear it, you'll understand what you're like now."
Before Su Zui could refuse, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice slowly rang out, carrying a hint of mockery and clarity.
"Once upon a time, there was a man who covered his ears and then reached out to steal a bell. He thought that if he couldn't hear the bell, no one else could either."
And the name of this story is "Stealing a Bell While Covering One's Ears"!
