Qian Renxue's Kiss!

Ah, this, ah, this...

Now, Huyan Zhen seemed to know nothing but "ah, this..." He was not the only one; even Bibi Dong and the others were briefly unable to react. Li Chang'an's move had been far too swift.

Why did it sound as though Li Chang'an's killing of Huyan Zhen's two grandsons had been some tremendous injustice? Did he have to be this fierce?

"Ding, you successfully achieved Divine Manifestation before Huyan Zhen. Points +16."

"Ding, you achieved Divine Manifestation before Ghost Douluo..."

After collecting a wave of points, Li Chang'an continued looking at Huyan Zhen without changing expression. He had still overestimated his opponent. He had not expected that after just a few questions, the other man would be reduced to this. There was no challenge at all, was there?

Bibi Dong reacted the fastest. She looked at Li Chang'an approvingly and nodded slightly before saying sternly to Huyan Zhen, "May I ask whether Sect Master Huyan can answer a few of my disciple's questions, so that I may reach a judgment as soon as possible?"

Bibi Dong's words were practically divine assistance. What else could that judgment be? It was nothing more than judging whether Huyan Zhen looked down on Spirit Hall, and deciding what Spirit Hall should do about it.

Huyan Zhen looked at the three Titled Douluo in Papal Hall, then at Li Chang'an, this child, and a wave of desolation immediately filled his heart.

In his eyes, the three Titled Douluo were now less terrifying than Li Chang'an. Those three questions of his were truly enough to kill a man and pierce his heart!

"Your Holiness the Pope, I was wrong. My two grandsons were in the wrong from the start. They should never have bullied the young with their age. When I return, I will whip them myself. I only ask that Your Holiness the Pope not blame me for my momentary folly."

"Furthermore, my Elephant Armor Sect is willing to accept all the previous conditions and enter into a friendly partnership with Spirit Hall. We shall never become enemies!"

After saying this, Huyan Zhen seemed to have aged several years in an instant, and his body trembled faintly. He truly could not understand, even in his dreams, how such a favorable situation today had been shattered just like that—and how he had even been saddled with the charge of grave disrespect!

"Good. Sect Master Huyan, please rest assured. Spirit Hall will not mistreat an ally like the Elephant Armor Sect!" Bibi Dong smiled and nodded, greatly relieved in her heart.

The Elephant Armor Sect had always been the hardest of the Lower Four Sects to win over. Once they were secured, the other sects would be of no concern. Her disciple's move today had helped her immensely once again.

It was truly hard to imagine that a child with twin martial souls and such outstanding talent could also possess such a mind—and be so handsome as well. It seemed that this person had claimed every advantage the world had to offer.

Having such a disciple, Bibi Dong was truly fortunate...

After seeing Huyan Zhen off, Bibi Dong walked down and personally rubbed Li Chang'an's little head, her affection plainly visible. Only then did she let Li Chang'an return to his lessons.

"What do the two Elders think of my disciple?" After Li Chang'an left, Bibi Dong looked at Ghost and Yue Guan and asked. The pride in her voice was impossible to conceal.

"A heaven-sent genius!" After thinking it over, Yue Guan found that only those four words could express how he felt.

"If this child became an emperor, he could usher in an era. If he became a sect master, he could lead his sect to become the greatest in the world. If he became an enemy, I suggest turning that enemy into a friend." Ghost pondered for a moment before saying this.

"Old Ghost, are you really going to praise the child that much?" Yue Guan looked at his partner speechlessly. It was the first time he had ever heard him speak like this.

Ghost shook his head without explaining much. After interacting with Li Chang'an several times, he had discovered that the child's greatest quality was not his talent, but his attitude.

That was right. Talent alone was not frightening, but what was frightening was having talent and status while still knowing oneself clearly and respecting others. For such a person to accomplish great things would be far too easy!

Compared to Li Chang'an, all other geniuses would likely pale in comparison...

One month later, morning, outside Spirit City.

Surrounded by several people, Qian Renxue boarded a carriage and prepared to leave Spirit City for Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Once she reached Heaven Dou City, the plan to exchange the civet cat for the crown prince would officially begin. By then, there would no longer be a person named Qian Renxue in the world. All information would be strictly confidential, and only the Heaven Dou Empire's crown prince, Xue Qinghe, would remain!

Qian Renxue would not be fighting alone either. Among the people Bibi Dong had assigned to her were three covert lines for transmitting information, as well as two Titled Douluo sent by the Hall of Elders. Their strength was formidable, and the arrangement was exceptionally thorough!

Qian Renxue looked in the direction of Spirit City, then thought of someone and their wager. She could not help smiling softly.

What a pity, Womanizer. I have to leave early. You are the first man to stir my heart. I will always remember you.

Just as Qian Renxue was about to board the carriage, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.

"Is someone in such a hurry to leave? I said I would see you off."

Qian Renxue turned around in surprise and saw a youth leaning against a tree in the distance.

The youth wore white clothes, his slightly long hair falling casually over his shoulders. His hair was still somewhat damp, clearly from the sweat of running here.

What drew even more attention was the youth's stunningly handsome face. His features were perfect, his skin was exceptionally good, and there was even a hint of carefree irreverence in his eyes.

"What are you doing here?" Qian Renxue suddenly recalled something, and her smiling face flushed again, looking so tempting that one wanted to take a bite.

"I said I would see you off. Shall we talk somewhere else?" Li Chang'an said, glancing at the guards around Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue had intended to refuse, but for some reason, when the words reached her lips, they became, "Sure."

After greeting several guards, Qian Renxue followed Li Chang'an into a small forest in the distance. Why the distant forest? Because Li Chang'an felt that the two elderly Titled Douluo were not looking at him too kindly.

But so what? I'm picking up girls with my own ability. Qian Renxue wants to come with me—what can you do about it?

The two old men looked at each other, unsure of what to do. In the end, they simply pretended not to see anything. After all, one was the First Elder's beloved granddaughter, while the other was the Pope's disciple. Neither was someone they could afford to offend.

They could only hope that the young lady would not be snatched away by a pig...

In the small forest in the distance.

Li Chang'an took a few steps closer and leaned toward Qian Renxue's ear, whispering, "Fulfill our wager first. Don't tell me you plan to go back on your word. Don't make me look down on you."

Qian Renxue's ears had turned red. "Who, who's going back on their word? A kiss is just a kiss!"

Then, as though she had exhausted all the strength in her body, Qian Renxue first closed her eyes before tremblingly leaning toward one of Li Chang'an's cheeks to kiss him.

Li Chang'an, meanwhile, kept his eyes open as he watched Qian Renxue's cherry lips approach. He swiftly adjusted his position so that his own lips would meet hers.

"Mm, mmm~..."

Qian Renxue only felt as though a tongue had entered her mouth...
