Miss Li Yu, Yet Unmarried

"Your Highness!"

A crisp, unified shout suddenly rang out, snapping the general back to his senses.

He hurriedly turned around and saw two richly dressed figures riding over on horseback.

"Crown Prince! Fourth Prince!"

Sweat beaded on the general's forehead as he quickly bowed.

Li Yu took everything in, his thoughts stirring slightly.

Heaven Dou, the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince.

The identities of the two before him were now clear.

The Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, Xue Qinghe.

The Fourth Prince, Xue Beng.

His gaze fell on Xue Beng first.

This man had been putting on an act to save his own life. Li Yu had not expected him to appear here with Xue Qinghe.

Xue Qinghe.

No, Qian Renxue!

A faint smile tugged at Li Yu's lips. Naturally, he remembered this character, who had occupied so much of the story.

"Trash!"

Xue Beng roared, "You can't even walk when you see a woman! What does Heaven Dou keep you lot around for?!"

The generals and soldiers all lowered their heads in shame.

"Have you figured out what caused that strange phenomenon just now? Yet all you can think about is filthy nonsense!"

Spittle flew from Xue Beng's mouth as his gaze finally landed on Li Yu's face.

The next moment,

his tirade abruptly stopped. His eyes stared blankly at Li Yu, unwilling to look away for even an instant.

Seeing this, the general's eyes flashed with disdain.

You're the same sort of man, yet you have the nerve to criticize us?

If the Crown Prince were not here, you would probably have already pounced on her!

And you call us trash? Without us, could Heaven Dou still be called Heaven Dou?

Xue Qinghe also urged his horse forward. Seeing Xue Beng's appearance, the contempt in her heart deepened.

For Spirit Hall's grand cause, she had disguised herself as Xue Qinghe for over ten years!

By now, Heaven Dou's Second and Third Princes had both been removed.

And this Fourth Prince, Xue Beng, was utterly worthless!

His cultivation talent was terrible beyond words. At his age, he had only reached Soul Power Level forty-something. He posed no threat at all.

What was more, he was an incorrigible playboy, obsessed with women and incapable of achieving anything great.

Thus, the obstacles to her succeeding to the Heaven Dou throne had essentially been cleared away.

Now, only the final step remained!

Wait for Xue Ye to die, then ascend the throne!

At that thought, a chill flashed through Xue Qinghe's eyes before quickly fading.

Then, her gaze fell upon Li Yu as well.

And when she looked, she was slightly stunned.

The woman before her possessed peerless beauty, along with an unusual aura about her.

Even she could not help feeling somewhat inferior.

But although she was currently in Xue Qinghe's body, she was ultimately a woman.

Thus, she quickly regained her senses.

What a seductress. No wonder even Xue Beng, who has seen countless women, was drawn to her! Qian Renxue thought.

She then took a deep breath and softly asked, "Who are you, Miss? Why are you here? Do you know what caused the strange phenomenon just now?"

Li Yu's thoughts shifted slightly at her words.

He then gave Qian Renxue a faint smile. "This humble woman is Li Yu. I was traveling through this place. With my Soul Power Level, I truly do not know what caused that strange phenomenon."

After a pause, he added, "This humble woman is unmarried."

After saying that, a rosy blush crept across Li Yu's face, making him look unbearably shy.

Everyone was instantly dumbstruck, as if their very souls had been stolen away.

With that smile from Li Yu, the seductive charm enhanced by System Bro was fully unleashed. Naturally, ordinary people could not resist it.

Even Qian Renxue's breathing hitched.

What a seductress!

Who asked whether you were married? It is not as if I would marry you!

Qian Renxue cursed inwardly once more, then forcibly suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and examined Li Yu again.

She had not noticed earlier, but after Li Yu mentioned it himself, she realized that Li Yu possessed merely level twenty-one Soul Power.

Thus, she ruled Li Yu out as a suspect.

Besides,

even she, who possessed the God-level Spirit Sacred Angel, had felt a measure of dread beneath that pressure just now.

That was why she took the matter especially seriously.

If another God-level Spirit had been born, it would undoubtedly pose an enormous threat to the Sacred Angel lineage.

Therefore, if it could not be recruited, the threat had to be eliminated.

Yet Li Yu had twenty-one levels of Soul Power. His Spirit must have already been fitted with Soul Rings, so he could not possibly have just awakened it.

That suspicion was naturally eliminated as well.

At that thought, Qian Renxue finally relaxed completely.

Looking at the alluring Li Yu, she suddenly found herself a little interested.

"If Miss Li Yu is still unmarried, you might consider my fourth brother!"

Qian Renxue pointed at Xue Beng. "My fourth brother is the Fourth Prince of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. His status is noble, and he is absolutely worthy of you!"

To Qian Renxue, although Xue Beng posed little threat,

if she could get Xue Beng married early and cut off the possibility of a political marriage, he would pose even less of a threat to her.

All she had to do was fan the flames a little now. Naturally, she was happy to do so.

"Well said!"

At that moment, a dignified voice rang out.

Everyone snapped back to their senses.

"Your Majesty!"

The soldiers and generals dropped to one knee and bowed with lowered heads.

Qian Renxue and Xue Beng turned and bowed. "Father, Your Excellency!"

Li Yu also followed everyone's gazes.

He saw an incomparably luxurious and ornate carriage approaching.

Upon it,

an elderly man sat upright in magnificent robes and a crown. His face was imposing, though he was clearly somewhat haggard.

Beside him stood a figure in green armor. Though his hair was white, his vigor was as sharp as a drawn blade.

Xue Ye and Poison Douluo!

Li Yu immediately recognized the two.

He did not know what traits distinguished Xue Ye, but Poison Douluo's head-to-toe green was easy enough to recognize.

What kind of wind blew these two big shots out here?

Li Yu muttered inwardly, but with Elemental Dissolution, he was not worried in the slightest.

Still, he bowed anxiously on the surface.

"Your Excellency, what do you think?"

Xue Ye spoke softly.

"It has nothing to do with her."

Poison Douluo shook his head slightly. The woman before him was extraordinarily beautiful, but her Soul Power Level was right there for all to see. The strange phenomenon could not be related to her.

Xue Ye nodded, then turned his gaze toward Qian Renxue and Xue Beng.

"Today is the day of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's Autumn Hunt. It was meant to be an auspicious day!"

As he spoke, his gaze shifted toward Li Yu.

When he saw Li Yu's appearance, Xue Ye's eyes flickered faintly.

But he was an emperor and had seen many peerless beauties. He was not as pathetic as Xue Beng, and with Poison Douluo at his side, he quickly steadied himself.

"Miss, you are currently unmarried. Regardless of your background, the status of a prince of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family is worthy of you! Therefore..."

Xue Ye paused. "I see that you seem to have taken a liking to Qinghe. Would you be willing to marry Qinghe?"
