You See? Getting Impatient Again

Qian Ren Xue's emotions came quickly and faded just as fast. She had been an adult in her previous life, after all, and soon composed herself. Her sky-blue eyes met the wine-red ones directly.

"So, you gave me a chance to start over and change my fate. I'm very grateful. As long as it doesn't violate my principles, I'll follow your arrangements."

"You don't have to be so formal!" Now it was Qian Gu Huang Yu who felt a little embarrassed.

Qian Gu Huang Yu rose to her feet. Her earlier playfulness and hesitation vanished, and her fair face revealed vitality and pride. It was as though blazing flames had risen in her wine-red pupils, vowing to burn the Tang Family Continent to ashes.

She raised her slender jade-like arm, spread her fingers, and made an inviting gesture.

"Come with me and turn this damned world upside down!"

The blue-eyed girl answered with a smile. Their delicate hands clasped together, declaring that the gears of a new era had begun to turn.

The two exchanged information once more, though this time it mainly concerned their cultivation and future development.

"So, Xue'er, you haven't even awakened your martial soul yet?" Qian Gu Huang Yu raised her brows in surprise upon hearing that Qian Ren Xue had not awakened her martial soul.

"Mm. But once I awaken it, I'll still have Innate Full Soul Power at level twenty."

Ignoring Qian Gu Huang Yu's overly familiar pet name, Qian Ren Xue answered seriously.

"What about your soul rings and soul bones?"

"I can use the soul rings from my previous life, or acquire new ones. As for soul bones, as long as I cultivate to the level at which I absorbed the corresponding soul bones in my previous life, I can regain them."

"Xue'er, keep the soul bones as they were, since they're part of the Angel God Armor. As for the soul rings, there's no need. Trust in the progress of science." Qian Gu Huang Yu offered her advice regarding Qian Ren Xue's development.

Even by godhood standards, Qian Ren Xue had only possessed Six Black, Three Red in her previous life. In Douluo Dalu 3, that was merely the standard configuration of a Limit Douluo.

Someone like Qian Gu Die Ting had nine red rings! He was on the same level as Tang Buddha Ancestor!

"Alright, I'll listen to you." As a primitive person who had just emerged from a cave, Qian Ren Xue understood that her configuration had fallen behind the times and raised no objections.

"Oh, right, Xue'er, how about changing your surname to Yue? That way..."

"No!"

Before Qian Gu Huang Yu could finish, Qian Ren Xue anxiously interrupted her. "Qian" was her only remaining connection to her father and grandfather in this era where she had no one else.

It was something Qian Ren Xue was unwilling to give up.

Qian Gu Huang Yu understood. After all, asking someone to change their surname was no easy matter.

"Don't be so anxious! Could you at least hear me out?"

Qian Ren Xue had wanted to refuse, but considering that she was technically this person's subordinate now, and that she would likely need to rely on her Holy Grail to resurrect Bibi Dong in the future, she agreed.

Seeing that Qian Ren Xue did not object, Qian Gu Huang Yu continued, "I told you before that the Federation's Southern Legion is now controlled by the Angel Family. The Clan Head of every generation of the Angel Family inherits the position of commander of the Southern Legion."

Qian Ren Xue nodded. Qian Gu Huang Yu had indeed introduced her to the major forces on Douluo Star.

"And the Angel Family's surname is Yue." A mischievous smile curled across Qian Gu Huang Yu's lips.

"Once you awaken your martial soul and people discover that you're a Six-winged Angel with Innate Full Soul Power at level twenty, the Yue Family will definitely come looking for you and recognize you as one of their own. If your surname is Yue from the start, that naturally saves some trouble. Besides, you can't possibly keep calling yourself Qian Ren Xue, can you?" Qian Gu Huang Yu explained.

"You want me to take over the Southern Legion?"

At this point, how could Qian Ren Xue fail to understand what Qian Gu Huang Yu was thinking?

"The Holy Angel is merely an inferior martial soul to your Six-winged Angel. They can't compete with you. And they'll devote all their resources to you," Qian Gu Huang Yu said.

If Qian Ren Xue joined the Spirit Pagoda, given her talent, the Spirit Pagoda certainly would not skimp on resources. But some things, such as the Angel Soul Spirit Yue Zhengyu had in the original work, were likely things only the Angel Family possessed. Besides, the Spirit Pagoda was only so large, and it was already firmly Qian Gu Huang Yu and the others' territory. There was no point in adding another Qian Ren Xue to divide it up. It would be better to have Qian Ren Xue seize the Southern Legion instead.

"What, Xue'er? Don't tell me you're scared because you failed to steal the Heaven Dou Empire in your previous life?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu delivered the finishing stab at just the right moment.

"How could that be? I'll go." Miss Qian Ren Xue had taken the bait after all.

"But I'll choose my own name."

"Of course." Qian Gu Huang Yu showed complete respect for Qian Ren Xue's wishes.

"Le Qian Xue. That will be my new name." After a brief moment of thought, Qian Ren Xue gave the name that preserved the most of her original "characteristics."

"Mm, it's a very nice name."

"By the way, Xue'er, what is your Treasure?" Qian Gu Huang Yu suddenly asked.

Xue'er was summoned into this era by me as a Saber. Just because the Holy Grail exploded doesn't mean her Treasure is gone too, right?

"Angel Holy Sword." Qian Ren Xue lifted her chin, her blue eyes reflecting a pride that could not be concealed.

The Angel Holy Sword was the Angel God's exclusive divine artifact and one of Qian Ren Xue's proudest possessions.

"With that, inheriting the Southern Legion is practically guaranteed. But until you're strong enough, don't reveal the Angel Holy Sword lightly before outsiders."

"Alright." Qian Ren Xue naturally understood that the tallest tree in the forest was the first to be battered by the wind, so she had no objections.

Qian Gu Huang Yu suddenly leaned close to Qian Ren Xue. Her jade-like hands firmly gripped Qian Ren Xue's fragrant shoulders, while flames of gossip burned in her wine-red eyes. "By the way, did you have any children in your previous life?"

Qian Ren Xue's pretty face reddened, and she shyly turned away. She had no idea why Qian Gu Huang Yu's train of thought had suddenly jumped in that direction. Could it be...

"N-No."

"Did you ever like anyone?"

"N-No."

"Yay!"

Qian Gu Huang Yu jumped happily, looking as excited as if someone had become pregnant with her child.

This had always been something that puzzled Qian Gu Huang Yu: whether Yu Meng Di, Ye Gu Yi, and the Angel Family of Douluo Dalu 3 were Qian Ren Xue's descendants.

After all, Qian Gu Huang Yu did not want to believe, emotionally, that Qian Ren Xue would fall in love with someone else after her godhood was shattered.

Now that the person involved had denied it herself, Qian Gu Huang Yu's confusion had been answered.

Though it seemed that Qian Ren Xue was the confused one now.

After another series of discussions, just as their conversation was about to end, Qian Ren Xue suddenly called out to Qian Gu Huang Yu.

"Xiao Yu,"

To show intimacy, Qian Ren Xue used a pet name as well, though given her seniority, she was more than entitled to call her that.

"Can you use the method you used to revive me to revive my mother? I still have many..."

Before Qian Ren Xue could finish her request, Qian Gu Huang Yu interrupted her.

"You see? Getting impatient again."
