The One Who Knows Everything, a Little Reward

The One Who Knows Everything, a Little Reward

"Can you take off that disguise? It's unpleasant to look at." Instead of answering her question, Lu Mingchuan softly spoke a few words.

Upon hearing them, Qian Renxue's pupils contracted slightly. She gestured twice with her hand, signaling the two Titled Douluo hidden in the shadows to restrain themselves, then cautiously asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Lu Mingchuan was not surprised. After all, it would have been strange if a single sentence could make Qian Renxue remove her disguise. Still, looking at the confused man before him, he sincerely marveled at Qian Renxue's superb acting. If he had not read the script beforehand, he probably would have been fooled as well.

"Alright, Qian Renxue, right? You can remove your disguise now."

Hearing that, Qian Renxue rose to her feet and stared at Lu Mingchuan. "How did you discover me?" Logically, with that soul skill on her, if she did not wish to expose herself, virtually no one should have been able to see through her.

She thought of Bibi Dong in Spirit City. Could she have told this man about her existence? But she immediately dismissed the thought. Although Bibi Dong disliked her greatly, what she was doing was still important. She would not disregard the bigger picture.

While her thoughts ran wild, Lu Mingchuan spoke.

"Don't overthink it. Take a look at this first." As he spoke, he tossed out a book. Still wearing Xue Qinghe's face, Qian Renxue caught it. The moment she saw the cover, her pupils shrank.

The book was titled "Douluo Continent," which easily made one think of the Douluo Continent they lived in. But surely he had not handed her a book introducing the continent just because he had nothing better to do in the middle of the night.

She opened the cover and flipped through it. After reading only a portion, she shut it again. The information revealed within was simply unbelievable. Having read just a few chapters, she had deduced that Tang Hao was the legendary Clear Sky Douluo.

Who would have thought that after that battle, the mighty Clear Sky Douluo had hidden away in a small village, drinking himself into contentment every day? Yet she had no choice but to believe it, because the contents could easily be investigated. Besides, deceiving her would not benefit this man in any way. So, more likely than not, what the book said was true.

At least, the portion she had read was true. The rest still needed to be examined, but that could be investigated slowly. Overall, this book would be of great use to her. With that thought, she looked at Lu Mingchuan in confusion.

"Why are you giving me this?" That was what puzzled her most. She was certain that aside from him glancing at her a couple of times recently, they had no other connection.

Lu Mingchuan felt a headache coming on and regretted it. If Alicia had not been so noisy recently, and if he had not casually pulled out the complete set of Douluo Continent for her, she would not have pestered him for days to help save Qian Renxue.

As for where the complete set of Douluo Continent had come from, the things he got from lotteries included practically everything, just nothing particularly useful.

"Just consider it an act of kindness. I can't stand Tang San and his lot." He had wanted to smile at Qian Renxue, but when he looked at Xue Qinghe's face, he suddenly could not smile.

Qian Renxue pondered for a moment after hearing that, then waved her hand and removed her disguise. Lu Mingchuan then saw Qian Renxue, one of Spirit Hall's three beauties: pale golden hair, rosy red lips lightly pursed, delicate skin, exquisite features, and a lovely figure. She truly deserved to be called a beauty capable of toppling kingdoms and cities.

But Lu Mingchuan glanced at Huang Quan beside him, whose expression remained blank. Having these three was enough for him.

"Alright. Since you're being so honest, I should be more forthright as well." Qian Renxue extended her hand toward Lu Mingchuan with a faint smile. Seeing this, Lu Mingchuan smiled too and reached out to shake her hand.

This time, it was not Xue Qinghe's face, so he could smile. Afterward, Lu Mingchuan gave Qian Renxue some more information before leaving the Crown Prince's Mansion with Huang Quan. Qian Renxue remained in her original form, staring at the empty room as she walked over to the bookshelf.

After fiddling with it a few times, she saw a section of the wall split open, revealing a passage. Holding "Douluo Continent," Qian Renxue stepped inside. Within was a small secret chamber.

The chamber was very clean. There was only a wardrobe containing quite a few women's clothes, a small bed, and a bath barrel. She set the book on the small table, removed her clothes, and slipped into the bath barrel, which had already been filled with hot water.

"Mmm~" She let out a soft, seductive hum, then opened her slightly hazy eyes and picked up the book from beside her. She began reading again. After a long while, she felt the water had grown a little cold, so she put down the book and rose from the water. Instantly, beads of water rolled down her body, passing through valleys and forests before flowing into the sea.

After drying herself, she put on her nightclothes, picked up the book, and lay sprawled on the small bed as she continued reading. She read very quickly. Whether it was a skill honed while acting as the Crown Prince or due to her powerful body, she had read through more than half of it before long.

When she reached the part about Qian Xunji's secret chamber and Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue's long-standing doubts were answered. In an instant, she felt a suffocating pain in her heart. Enduring it, she continued reading.

After quite a while, when she saw Bibi Dong's pleading, tears immediately poured from her eyes like floodwaters released from a dam. Her hands tightly gripped the pillow beneath her. At that moment, she desperately wanted to go in and strangle that love-struck version of herself to death.

In the end, she and her mother had come to this. After some time, Qian Renxue collected herself and established two targets she absolutely had to kill in her heart: Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.

As for whether the contents were true, by the time she had reached the middle, she was already mostly convinced. Besides, even if it was false, it would not affect her determination to kill Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, especially that disgusting bastard Yu Xiaogang.

She carefully put away the book, then sat cross-legged on the bed and began cultivating. She could now be said to be someone who knew everything, but if she wanted to do anything, she needed great strength. Therefore, the most pressing matter was to cultivate diligently.

As for that Xue Beng who pretended to be a wastrel, and Prince Xue Xing, hmph, before someone who knew everything, all schemes were futile. Moreover, she no longer intended to inherit the Angel God's divine position.

Just thinking of that disgusting segment of the God's Examination from the book made her feel revulsion from the depths of her heart. The God Realm had most likely interfered with it, and most importantly, it required the sacrifice of her grandfather, Qian Daoliu.

That point alone made it impossible for her to continue the inheritance. So for now, she needed to cultivate while waiting patiently. As for Lu Mingchuan, after returning home, he vividly recounted to Alicia how he had helped Qian Renxue. Alicia listened with narrowed eyes and a smile. After a long while, when he finally stopped talking, she patted her soft thigh.

"Alright, alright. You've worked hard, my dear Ah Chuan. Here's a little reward for you."

Alright, Alicia's part was done.

Bet you didn't expect it—I was super fast today.
