Meeting Qian Renxue

Is that Qian Renxue?

Though he did not know her personally, the girl's appearance, that breathtakingly beautiful face, and her sacred, noble aura made Gu Han recognize her at once, leaving him momentarily dazed.

However, Gu Han was not a shallow person who forgot how to walk whenever he saw a beautiful woman.

Rather, if this was Qian Renxue, then she had not yet left Spirit City for Heaven Dou Imperial City to approach Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and carry out the Swapping the Cat for the Crown Prince plan.

Could he influence Qian Renxue and thereby influence the future plot and trajectory of Douluo Continent's world, earning Heavenly Points in the process?

Yet although his thoughts carried a selfish motive, Qian Renxue's peerlessly beautiful and exquisite face still gave Gu Han an inexplicable feeling of beauty and tranquility.

He wanted this moment to continue forever.

Though his heart had not fluttered, simply seeing her and feeling that she was incomparably beautiful truly gave him the urge to spend his life with her.

Perhaps this is love at first sight, the kind that belongs to me.

Gu Han could not help thinking.

He had already met stunning beauties like his teacher Bibi Dong and his senior sister Hu Liena.

But Bibi Dong might have been innocent and kind when she was young. After the Secret Room Douluo incident, however, she had turned far too dark and ruthless.

And her temperament was impossible to read.

Even Yu Xiaogang had never expected Bibi Dong to wipe out his entire clan just to vent his anger for him.

How could Gu Han dare form too deep a bond with Bibi Dong? He only needed to keep up appearances and be a diligent, qualified disciple.

After all, Bibi Dong was probably using him more than anything else.

It was enough to act the part.

As for his senior sister Hu Liena, though she was beautiful too, her looks were far too seductive and carried the feeling of a fox spirit. In any case, when Gu Han looked at Hu Liena, he did not feel the urge to marry her and spend the rest of his life with her.

Perhaps Senior Sister would make quite a good lover.

Gu Han thought oddly to himself.

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue stood by the window, quietly reading a book. She had also noticed Gu Han's gaze.

But Gu Han was only a six-year-old boy.

Although cultivating the Sacred Dragon Body Forging Technique had accelerated Gu Han's development, making him much taller and stronger, so that he looked seven or eight years old, he was still a child.

Moreover, Gu Han was exceptionally handsome, an utterly adorable little boy.

Being good-looking really did come with privileges.

At any rate, Qian Renxue was rather pleased to be watched with such admiration by an exceptionally cute and handsome little boy like Gu Han.

Inside the Archives of the Pope's Palace.

Qian Renxue had more or less guessed Gu Han's identity.

She was actually quite curious about him.

Having heard that Gu Han was the "good-for-nothing" rumored throughout Spirit City to possess Innate Soul Power of only level 0.25.

Qian Renxue truly wanted to know why that proud and cold woman would accept such a "good-for-nothing" as her disciple. It completely contradicted her impression of that woman.

Out of curiosity about Gu Han, Qian Renxue had originally planned to wait for him to come over and speak to her.

But unfortunately, Gu Han showed no intention of coming over, which left Qian Renxue somewhat helpless. After reading for quite some time, she found herself unable to settle down.

A child was still a child, after all!

"Little brother, are you reading here too? What's your name?"

Having decided to take the initiative, Qian Renxue closed the book she had been reading and returned it to the shelf. Then she walked toward Gu Han, a gentle smile blooming across her beautiful face as she asked in a crisp, pleasant voice.

"My name is Gu Han. What about you, Sister?"

Curious as to why Qian Renxue had come to speak with him first, Gu Han closed the book in his hands and asked as well.

"Just call me Sister Xue'er!"

Qian Renxue smiled faintly and said nothing more. However, she put on a surprised expression and asked, "You said your name is Gu Han. Could you be the Gu Han from the recent rumors in Spirit City, the one who became His Holiness the Pope's disciple?"

"Mm."

Gu Han nodded and gave a self-mocking smile. "Looks like you know about this good-for-nothing too, Sister."

"You're not a good-for-nothing!"

"Well... I know a little about His Holiness the Pope. She is a very proud woman. If she was willing to accept you as her disciple, there must be something extraordinary about you."

"It's just that other people don't know about it. They simply see that your Innate Soul Power is rather low and label you a good-for-nothing."

"But most people in this world are like that. They often only see the bad in others and fail to see the shining qualities they possess."

Qian Renxue spoke earnestly, with deep feeling.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, Sister."

Gu Han quite agreed with Qian Renxue's words. Qian Renxue truly was worthy of being the only woman in Douluo Continent who focused wholeheartedly on building a career.

Though Tang San ultimately caused all her efforts to fall short.

Still, Qian Renxue had done everything before that very well.

"Since you think what I said makes sense, it seems my guess was right. There really is something extraordinary about you, Xiao Han. Can you tell Sister about these secrets?"

Qian Renxue blinked and smiled at Gu Han.

"It's not really a secret."

Gu Han laughed. He had not intended to hide it, so he directly told Qian Renxue the whole story of how he had become Bibi Dong's disciple.

"Your Martial Soul, with Innate Soul Power of only level 0.25, actually has so many useful special traits?"

"Although you cannot perform Martial Soul Possession, it can eat, and what it eats can be digested and absorbed. It can even feed back part of the soul power and life force from that digestion into your body."

"Then, using this trait, you found a way to make it evolve by feeding it dragon flesh and spirit medicine with the Light Attribute?"

"You're really amazing, Xiao Han!"

Learning that Gu Han had found a way to evolve his Martial Soul based on its traits, Qian Renxue was greatly surprised and deeply impressed by him.

After all, Gu Han was only a six-year-old child, yet he was clever enough to find a way to make his Martial Soul evolve.

Though this mainly relied on the Martial Soul's own traits, being able to discover those traits and find the right direction to develop them was an ability in itself!

"Xiao Han, can you show me your Martial Soul: Sacred Dragon? I've never seen a Beast Martial Soul that could leave a Soul Master's body, exist independently outside, and possess a corporeal body!"

After hearing Gu Han out, Qian Renxue became extremely curious about the Sacred Dragon and could not help wanting to see this special Beast Martial Soul that could evolve through eating.

"Of course!"

Gu Han had not expected Qian Renxue to be interested in the Sacred Dragon. Naturally, he did not refuse. With a faint smile on his handsome little face, he agreed.

Then, before Qian Renxue, Gu Han summoned the Sacred Dragon.

For a moment, amid a burst of golden light.

A creature about one meter long suddenly appeared before Gu Han. Its body resembled that of a little pig, though it was not nearly as plump. It was covered in a layer of golden fur, with broad patches of fine dragon scales growing across many parts of its body. It had a round head that nevertheless resembled a dragon's, bright golden eyes, and a mouth full of sharp teeth. Two bulges protruded from its head, while a pair of large, round ears spread out like fans. Its slender tail was covered in many golden dragon scales, and two pairs of small Golden Dragon Wings grew from its back.
