Confession Is Treated Leniently
"Old Long, Mad Rhino Senior, you two can wait here outside!" Lu Yuan turned around and said to Long Xiaoyao and Mad Rhino Douluo.
"Yes, my lord!"
"Yes, Young Master Yuan!"
Lu Yuan nodded, then pushed open the door and went inside!
With a creak, Lu Yuan closed the door and walked inside.
Outside Xue'er's room was a screen painted with exquisite fish and bird patterns. Lu Yuan walked around the screen and inside was a large bed with curtains hanging down. Qian Renxue was sitting upright on the edge of the bed with her back to Lu Yuan.
Hearing footsteps behind her, Qian Renxue's pleasant voice rang out. "You've come!"
"Hmm!" Lu Yuan hummed softly, then strode towards Qian Renxue.
"Xue'er!" Lu Yuan called softly.
Qian Renxue turned around, revealing an almost perfect jade-like face. The purity and holiness of Angel were fully embodied in Qian Renxue.
Lu Yuan was stunned at first glance; Xue'er was actually using her original appearance.
"Xue'er, why didn't you disguise yourself?" Lu Yuan asked.
Qian Renxue glared at Lu Yuan reproachfully and said, "Would you let me wear a disguise when I'm with you?"
"No way!" Lu Yuan smiled, then suddenly realized that when he was alone with Qian Renxue, he naturally wanted to see Xue'er's beautiful face. Who would want to see Xue Qinghe's sour face?
Although he was quite good-looking and had a refined air about him, he was still a man's face. Seeing Qian Renxue with that face made Lu Yuan feel a little uncomfortable, especially when he wanted to take advantage of her.
"Then why did you ask that question?" Qian Renxue rolled her eyes, her charm at that moment truly captivating.
Lu Yuan stepped forward and stood opposite Qian Renxue, gently taking her hand in his.
Xue'er's hands were soft and warm, and felt surprisingly good.
When Lu Yuan took her hand, Qian Renxue glanced at him helplessly, but didn't pull her hand away. They had kissed several times already, Qian Renxue holding hands didn't make her feel shy anymore.
"Xue'er, are you alright now?" Lu Yuan gently squeezed the soft hand in his, gazing into Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes, and asked.
"The situation is not bad now. Xue Beng was given twenty lashes by Xue Ye and imprisoned in the Prince's Mansion. Prince Xue Xing has also been punished by Xue Ye. His influence in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy has been almost completely eliminated. Now the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy is under my control."
"Moreover, Xue Ye is quite satisfied with my performance this time. My position is now more and more consolidated, and my prestige has also increased a lot. Many of the ministers who were originally neutral are now willing to serve me. You scoundrel, your plan has succeeded!"
Qian Renxue said softly.
"Hmm!" Lu Yuan nodded gently, reaching out to touch Qian Renxue's cheek. It was warm, smooth, and felt wonderful to the touch.
Qian Renxue glared at Lu Yuan, annoyed. This guy always liked to take advantage of her whenever he was with her.
However, I don't seem to reject this feeling very much; on the contrary, I have a strange sense of anticipation.
That's really strange.
"What about Ning Fengzhi?" Lu Yuan asked softly. "Now that your position is becoming more and more secure, doesn't that old fox have the idea of betting on you? According to the current situation, as long as something happens to Xue Ye, then the only one who can inherit the throne is you. That old fox should be able to see that."
"Given his personality, it's impossible that he wouldn't take action!"
"Ning Fengzhi does have the idea of supporting me, but he has said a lot, but it's all just talk and he hasn't shown any real support!" Qian Renxue said.
"Ha! This old fox is still so cautious. It seems he still has some reservations!" Lu Yuan said.
"But there's no rush. Take it one step at a time. With your current condition, if you take it slow, you'll be able to take control of the Heaven Dou Empire sooner or later. By the way, Xue'er, have you poisoned Xue Ye yet?" Lu Yuan asked.
"Yes! It's a slow-acting poison, but it's extremely potent and there's no antidote. Xue Ye will die sooner or later, it just might take a few years!" Qian Renxue said.
"No antidote?" Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "Everything in the world has its counterpart, and there is no poison that cannot be cured. Xue'er, don't be too careless."
As he spoke Lu Yuan recalled the plot of the original novel. The poison Xue'er used was a poison specially developed by the Breaking Clan. It was a very strange mixed poison that neither Dugu Bo nor Tang San could cure, but Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Breaking Clan, could.
This is a potential problem, and we need to find a way to eliminate it!
Lu Yuan would not allow any accidents to happen regarding Xue'er.
"Hmm!" Qian Renxue nodded after hearing Lu Yuan's words. Indeed, what Lu Yuan said made a lot of sense.
Lu Yuan smiled slightly, gently put his arm around Qian Renxue's waist, and pulled her into his embrace.
The two hugged tightly for a while, then Qian Renxue sighed and said, "You brat, don't you have anything to say to me about that Dragon Emperor Douluo?"
Lu Yuan was taken aback. Sure enough, he still had to face this problem!
"Xue'er, come, let's sit down and talk!" Lu Yuan pulled Qian Renxue to sit down.
"Come on, tell me, I'm listening!"
Qian Renxue sat down, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Yuan.
"Xue'er, where would you like to start listening?" Lu Yuan asked.
"Everything!" Qian Renxue looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. I need to know the whole story, so don't leave anything out!"
"Confess and you'll be treated leniently, or you'll rot in jail!" Lu Yuan sighed inwardly and said, "Alright, then I'll tell you about Old Long. It all starts with my Martial Soul and bloodline."
"Martial Soul and bloodline?" Qian Renxue looked at Lu Yuan curiously.
"Yes, you know my Martial Soul is the Golden Dragon!" Lu Yuan said.
Qian Renxue nodded; she was naturally well aware of this.
She had also experienced firsthand the power of Lu Yuan's Golden Dragon Spirit, which was definitely no less powerful than her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
But when did Lu Yuan have another bloodline?
She knew nothing about this.
"Actually, besides the Golden Dragon Spirit, I also possess pure Golden Dragon Bloodline!" Lu Yuan said softly.
"How come I don't know this?" Qian Renxue looked at Lu Yuan.
"Because my Golden Dragon Bloodline only awakened after you left, I didn't know it before that!" As he spoke, Lu Yuan told Qian Renxue about the process of his bloodline awakening.
Qian Renxue listened, nodding occasionally.
"So that's how it is. Your bloodline only broke through its shackles and fully awakened under the pressure of Golden Crocodile Douluo." Qian Renxue said softly, her tone filled with relief. This happened after she left, so it seems that the stinky guy didn't hide it from her after all.
Qian Renxue felt much better, but she still had questions, "Then, what does this have to do with that Dragon Emperor Douluo?"
