Judgment High Priest Appears!

Judgment High Priest Appears!

The next morning, bright sunlight shone across the floor, and the crisp, pleasant birdsong outside the window woke the beauty in bed.

"Mm~"

Qian Renxue's long lashes trembled as she slowly opened her eyes.

Before her was the youth's handsome face. His eyes were open as he looked at her with a smile.

"Xue'er Sister, you're awake!"

Seeing his face so close to hers, Qian Renxue quickly recalled last night's intimacy. Her pretty face instantly turned red, and she hurriedly pulled up the blanket to cover half her face, leaving only a pair of lively, shy eyes exposed.

Ling Yuxuan brushed aside the golden strands of hair stuck to Qian Renxue's forehead, gently stroked her little face, and gave her a light kiss. He said tenderly, "Xue'er Sister, I love you!"

"Hmph! You've already taken all the advantage!"

Qian Renxue still hid half her face, her heart filled with bashfulness.

Last night, aside from what they should not have done, they had done everything else!

Seeing Qian Renxue's shy appearance, it was hard to imagine that the cold and aloof Saintess in everyone else's eyes could have such an adorable side. Ling Yuxuan could not help but tease her properly.

"What are you laughing at, Little Rascal? You still dare laugh? Hurry up and get out of bed to make me breakfast!"

Seeing Ling Yuxuan's shameless, grinning expression, Qian Renxue could not help lifting her foot and kicking him off the bed.

"Hehe, Xue'er Sister, as a girl, you can't be this violent."

Ling Yuxuan rolled aside to dodge, caught her flawless jade-like foot with his right hand, and pulled a feather from his Storage Ring with his left.

"Hehehe, Xue'er Sister, you brought this upon yourself!"

When Qian Renxue saw the feather in Ling Yuxuan's hand, she tried to pull back her little foot, but Ling Yuxuan held it firmly in his grasp.

"No, don't, Little Rascal. I was wrong. Isn't that enough?"

Ling Yuxuan revealed a malicious smile. "Xue'er Sister, resistance is futile. Accept my judgment obediently!"

The feather in Ling Yuxuan's hand began lightly tickling the sole of Qian Renxue's foot.

"Ha, hahaha, hahahaha! Xiao Xuan, Little Rascal, let me go!"

Faced with Qian Renxue's pleas, Ling Yuxuan remained completely unmoved.

Seeing that Ling Yuxuan showed no reaction at all, Qian Renxue put on a pitiful expression and stared at him with her watery eyes.

"Xiao Xuan, can you really bear to bully such a gentle, virtuous, considerate, and adorable Xue'er?"

Qian Renxue's coquettishness was one of her greatest weapons against Ling Yuxuan.

Ling Yuxuan stopped what he was doing and cupped Qian Renxue's pretty face in both hands.

"Xue'er Sister, please don't give yourself irrelevant labels. There wasn't the slightest trace of gentleness when you chased me around with the Angel Sword trying to chop me up. Virtuous? Who was it that turned two grilled fish into lumps of charcoal last time?

Kind, considerate? Hehe, I've never seen that either. So only the last two words, 'adorable,' are correct."

After Ling Yuxuan said that, Qian Renxue lowered her head in embarrassment. She obediently lay in his arms and softly murmured, "Xiao Xuan, why do you like me so much? My temper is bad, and I always like making trouble for you without reason. You've given me so many precious things—Martial Soul Evolution, ferocious beast Soul Rings—yet I can't give you anything."

Ling Yuxuan held Qian Renxue tighter in his arms.

"Liking someone doesn't need so many reasons. It's Xue'er Sister—forever, only Xue'er Sister. If Xue'er Sister hadn't found me back then, I might have long since died at the bottom of that dry well. When my life was at its darkest, Xue'er Sister became the only light in my heart, illuminating my dark life. Back then, I swore that I would make Xue'er Sister the happiest woman in the world."

Yet according to the original course of events, she would never have experienced being loved. She would only struggle through the world of fame and fortune in the Heaven Dou Empire, then have her identity exposed by Tang San, hopelessly fall in love with him, and bring about a tragic ending.

Perhaps that was not love either. It was merely an obsession born from meeting someone exceptional at the right age.

But Ling Yuxuan's arrival had changed everything. The current Qian Renxue belonged to him alone.

Lifting Qian Renxue's chin, Ling Yuxuan deeply kissed her delicate, crimson lips.

After a long while, their lips parted. They looked into each other's eyes, each filled with the other's reflection.

"Xue'er Sister, it's time to get up. Otherwise, that position of yours is going to make it very easy for me to commit a crime!"

Qian Renxue blushed and climbed off Ling Yuxuan.

"Xue'er Sister, let me help you get dressed."

Qian Renxue nodded with a red face. That Little Rascal had already seen all of her last night anyway, so she no longer felt it mattered.

The scene shifted as Ling Yuxuan led Qian Renxue to the Judgment Holy Temple.

"Xiao Xuan, shouldn't we be going to Spirit Hall Academy for the ranking tournament's opening ceremony? Why are we here?"

Ling Yuxuan tilted his head and smiled at Qian Renxue.

"I'm taking you to meet some people."

"Who? Is there anyone else in this space besides the two of us?"

"Yes, but they have been sleeping all this time. Just yesterday, they awakened from their slumber.

Xue'er, the Angel God Temple has its High Priests, so naturally my Judgment Holy Temple has its own High Priests as well!"

Qian Renxue suddenly understood. Were not those grandfathers of hers all High Priests of the Angel God Temple? She had stayed in the Judgment Holy Temple for so long, yet had never seen its High Priests!

She had thought there were no High Priests here. So they had all been asleep!

Ling Yuxuan looked at the Titled Douluo Summoning Cards in his system space. There were eight in total—yes, eight. A few days ago, the system had given him another three Summoning Cards, leaving Ling Yuxuan with eight altogether.

Ling Yuxuan silently recited in his heart, "System, use all the Titled Douluo Summoning Cards."

Eight Light Gates unfolded before Ling Yuxuan, and figures emerged from them one after another.
