"Take it. I'll come by tomorrow!"
With that, Qian Renxue slammed the door shut.
The thought of sending Shi Nian to the Extreme North to mine grew even stronger in her heart.
"I'll have someone make a sign tomorrow!"
"It'll say: Shi Nian and dogs are not allowed inside!"
"When I deal with things between Wanwan and me, I'll have it hung at the entrance to the Back Hall!"
Qian Renxue silently plotted to herself.
Meanwhile, Bai Wanwan, standing beside her, was also deep in thought.
"No, no!"
"This is completely wrong. I'm supposed to become the Angel Knight, not let Sister become the Dragon Knight."
"I need to make a more thorough plan next time."
Bai Wanwan silently calculated in her heart.
What happened today absolutely could not happen again.
Being passive or taking the initiative—this was a matter of principle!
The room fell silent.
Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan exchanged a glance, then, with perfect mutual understanding, sat cross-legged on the bed as though they had entered Meditation Practice.
The reason it was only "as though" was because both of them were preoccupied with their own thoughts and had not truly entered a cultivation state. They were merely putting on an act.
Time passed swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, two months went by.
Over those two months, while keeping an eye on the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan had also firmly established themselves in Heaven Dou City and seriously addressed the matter of their feelings for each other.
Although they both understood the other's feelings, the final layer of paper between them had never been pierced.
During those two months, Bai Wanwan's Soul Power had also broken through to the level-sixty bottleneck. She only needed to attach another Spirit Ring to become a Six Rings Spirit Emperor.
Early morning.
The Back Hall of the Canglan King's Mansion.
Seated before a stone table, Bai Wanwan looked at Qian Renxue and parted her cherry lips. "Sister, I'm planning to take Moxiong out for a while. While I'm heading to the Star Dou Great Forest to attach a Spirit Ring, I'll also take the opportunity to visit our Fief, Suotuo City."
Qian Renxue paused slightly in the middle of drinking her porridge, then gently nodded.
"Mm. Going to the Star Dou Great Forest to attach a Spirit Ring is important business, and it would be good to visit Suotuo City as well. No matter what, it is our Fief."
"With me here, nothing will go wrong with matters in Heaven Dou City."
"But once you're done, you have to come back right away, okay?"
Qian Renxue smiled and lowered her head to continue drinking her porridge.
"Don't worry."
"I'll be back in as little as ten days, or at most a month."
Bai Wanwan smiled as well.
She definitely had to go to the Star Dou Great Forest. After all, she had agreed with Di Tian that once her Soul Power broke through, she would return with him to the Star Dou Great Forest to meet the Silver Dragon King.
Besides, she had some questions that she needed to ask the Silver Dragon King.
As for bringing Moxiong along, it was because she planned to do a few things in Suotuo City.
Or rather, make some preparations in advance.
"When are you planning to leave?"
Qian Renxue reached out to straighten the hair beside Bai Wanwan's ear and asked softly.
"After breakfast."
"The sooner I leave, the sooner I'll be back."
Bai Wanwan blinked playfully.
"Mm~"
Qian Renxue gave a soft hum and said nothing more, instead quietly planning something in her heart.
At present, the matter between her and Bai Wanwan was naturally the most important thing—without question. As for the imperial family's affairs, they were important, but not as important as what lay between her and Bai Wanwan.
Only that final layer of paper remained. All it took was the right moment to pierce it.
As for that moment, she could wait for it—or create it herself.
Naturally, Qian Renxue knew what Bai Wanwan was thinking. But she and Bai Wanwan thought alike: they could not get the difference between taking the initiative and being passive mixed up.
She was the Sister.
As Bai Wanwan's younger sister, she would always be the younger sister.
This was a matter of principle.
I've decided. When Wanwan comes back, I'll create an opportunity and push her down myself.
Qian Renxue silently made up her mind, the corners of her lips curling up almost imperceptibly.
Seeing Qian Renxue's slightly raised lips, Bai Wanwan's eyes narrowed involuntarily.
"Sister, what are you thinking about? You look very happy."
"Nothing. I just thought of something pleasant."
"Really?"
"Really!"
As Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan traded questions and answers, both wore extremely serious expressions.
Bai Wanwan lightly rubbed her fingertips together, a thoughtful look appearing in her eyes before she revealed a mischievous expression.
"Hehe~"
When I come back, I'll find an opportunity to push Sister down.
High-level hunters often appear in the form of prey.
I have to distinguish clearly between taking the initiative and being passive.
Bai Wanwan secretly made up her mind.
Just as Qian Renxue understood her, she also understood Qian Renxue very well.
So she decided to strike first!
"Wanwan, what are you thinking about?"
A thoughtful glint flashed through Qian Renxue's eyes.
"Cough, nothing. Like Sister, I just thought of something pleasant."
Bai Wanwan gave a light cough, her expression returning to seriousness.
"Really?"
"Really!"
Their eyes met, and they smiled at the same time.
"Tsk~"
Wanwan, you think I'm on the first floor and you're on the second, but in reality, you're on the first floor while Sister is at the very top.
Qian Renxue thought to herself, though her expression remained perfectly calm.
Soon, breakfast was finished.
After saying goodbye to Qian Renxue, Bai Wanwan left Canglan King's Mansion and headed beyond Heaven Dou City.
After leaving Heaven Dou City, Bai Wanwan crooked a finger at Moxiong, signaling for him to come over.
Once Moxiong approached, Bai Wanwan quietly instructed him to handle other matters.
After hearing Bai Wanwan's instructions, Moxiong thought for a moment before asking a very serious question. "Young Lady, what are you going to do?"
"Do you not need this subordinate to protect you from the shadows?"
Bai Wanwan lightly waved her hand. "No need. I have some matters to deal with. I'll go find you in Suotuo City afterward."
"Don't worry. I'm not as weak as you imagine. You don't need to protect me at all times."
Hearing this, Moxiong considered it again and again before lightly nodding to Bai Wanwan. "Young Lady, then this subordinate will head to Suotuo City first."
"Mm, go on. Just wait for me in Suotuo City."
Bai Wanwan waved her hand.
Only after giving a few more reminders did Moxiong head in the direction of Suotuo City.
Once Moxiong's figure vanished at the end of her sight, Bai Wanwan slowly raised her head and spoke two words. "Di Tian!"
"Mm, I'm here."
"Are you ready to return to the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Di Tian's figure emerged in midair.
"Mm, let's head to the Star Dou Great Forest."
Bai Wanwan looked at Di Tian standing in the air, a faint smile on her lips.
Di Tian reached out and sliced through the space before him, and a spatial rift appeared.
Di Tian entered the spatial rift first, with Bai Wanwan following close behind.
After they had both entered the spatial rift, it gradually disappeared.
