"Elder Qianjun, you did well!"

Upon seeing Qianjun Douluo, Qian Yunxiao first offered him some encouragement.

Qianjun Douluo said softly, "It was my duty, Your Highness. But when do you plan to kill that woman and take her soul bone and soul ring?"

Qian Yunxiao frowned. "When did I say I was going to kill Ah Yin? Ah Yin will be my wife from now on. Elder Qianjun, you must never entertain such thoughts!"

That one sentence nearly made Qianjun Douluo lose his grip on the Coiling Dragon Staff.

Had he heard wrong? Qian Yunxiao had called that enchantress his wife?!

"Second Highness! Don't let that enchantress's beauty blind you! She's a soul beast! A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast! You don't want a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring?! With her, you might even have a chance to defeat the First Highness!"

In a daze, Qianjun Douluo glanced at Ah Yin.

That female enchantress truly was stunning, so delicate and tender that she made others want to pity and protect her, while also—

In all of Spirit Hall, perhaps only the current Pope's disciple, Spirit Hall's Saintess Bibi Dong, could compare to her! But that did not change the fact that she was a soul beast! How could Qian Yunxiao harbor such thoughts? He earnestly lectured Qian Yunxiao, telling him not to lose his fighting spirit for the sake of an enchantress! "I already told you, she's human, and a beautiful woman who'll bear children easily. It's destiny that she'll be my wife. Elder Qianjun, don't interfere in this matter. And don't tell my father or the others about it either. I won't shortchange you."

Qian Yunxiao made his judgment with ironclad certainty, leaving Qianjun Douluo at a loss for words.

Qian Yunxiao even wanted to bribe him? Qianjun Douluo shook his head. "Second Highness, there's more than one pair of eyes around you. Even if I want to conceal certain matters, I won't be able to hide them!"

Qianjun Douluo was telling the truth.

That beast Qian Xunji would never allow Qian Yunxiao to live peacefully here.

There were surely people sent by Qian Xunji to watch Qian Yunxiao.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Qianjun Douluo, not to reveal that Ah Yin is a soul beast. You can do that much, can't you? Once Ah Yin becomes pregnant, I'll take her back to Spirit Hall."

Qian Yunxiao would definitely have to kill that bastard Qian Xunji. He could not leave him alive.

It was just that Qian Xunji was already an eighty-fifth-rank Soul Douluo, stronger than Qian Yunxiao.

If he wanted to kill Qian Xunji, he would still have to rely on his Many Children, Much Blessing system.

Once he took Ah Yin in and they had a child, earning the system's rewards, Qian Yunxiao refused to believe he could not crush a mere Qian Xunji.

"Yes!"

After a moment of silence, Qianjun Douluo chose to agree.

As long as he said nothing, no one in all of Skywater City would know Ah Yin was a soul beast.

Even the headmistress of Skywater Academy, Shui Youlan's mother Shui Ningxin, was only a seventy-sixth-rank Soul Saint. She could not see through Ah Yin's secret.

That completely put Qian Yunxiao at ease.

Once word reached Qian Xunji that he had married Ah Yin, a woman with no notable background, that man would probably be even more reassured, right? The next day, Qian Yunxiao arrived at Ah Yin's room early in the morning.

Today, Ah Yin had dressed herself with exceptional care.

A long dress of silk and jade-like fabric, paired with silver boots, perfectly displayed her graceful figure, snow-white calves, and delicate jade feet.

Ah Yin was a very conservative woman, and her long dress had long sleeves.

Other than below her calves, she was tightly covered everywhere else.

Qian Yunxiao liked beauties like this.

In public... it was better to be more conservative.

Besides, only by teaching such a woman step by step and making her undergo a complete transformation could one feel enough satisfaction.

This was Ah Yin's first time applying even a little makeup.

Qian Yunxiao elegantly extended his hand.

Ah Yin thought that since she had already agreed to marry Qian Yunxiao, she could now be considered his fiancée.

Holding hands was perfectly normal.

"Ah Yin, you actually don't need makeup. With your beauty, there isn't a single cosmetic on the continent today worthy of your skin."

As they left the small courtyard, Qian Yunxiao spoke to Ah Yin with deep affection.

To be honest, Ah Yin felt a little disappointed.

Qian Yunxiao's words praised her, and that made Ah Yin happy.

But she had spent two whole hours working on this makeup, inside and out.

Since it truly was her first time wearing makeup, she was terribly unskilled and had made many mistakes.

What she wanted now was Qian Yunxiao's approval of the "gift" she had carefully prepared for him, not praise for her beauty.

"Oh..."

Ah Yin pouted at that.

How could Qian Yunxiao fail to understand what she was thinking? He hurriedly said, "But today, you've shown me another kind of beauty. I'm very happy about the effort you made for me. Be honest with your husband—how long did you spend preparing for this, when you've never worn makeup before?"

This was exactly the effect Qian Yunxiao wanted.

First, he made Ah Yin feel a little disappointed, then he made her pleasantly surprised.

"Not long... only about half a shichen!"

Qian Yunxiao had suddenly hit right at Ah Yin's feelings again, making her even sweeter. She told a tiny lie.

Ah Yin did not reject Qian Yunxiao calling himself her husband at all. Instead, she felt incomparably delighted and sweet.

"Mm... I hope that on the day of our wedding, you'll dress up like this once more."

Seeing that his little tactic had worked, Qian Yunxiao was delighted as well.

If he could not get a handle on such innocent Ah Yin, that would be ridiculous. "Why?"

Ah Yin looked at Qian Yunxiao, somewhat confused.

He had just told her not to wear makeup, so why did he suddenly like it now?

She had no objections, though. For Qian Yunxiao, Ah Yin would gladly get up half an hour earlier than him every morning, put on her makeup, and wait for him to wake up so he could see her at her most beautiful.

Then she would remove it after Qian Yunxiao fell asleep.

For the one she loved, Ah Yin was willing to give.

"I want to ruin all your makeup that night."

Qian Yunxiao imagined the night two days later—the night of their wedding.

Ah Yin's hair would be disheveled, and her red lipstick would no longer be only on her lips. She would stand before Qian Yunxiao with tears in her eyes.

"Hall Master, you bastard!!"

Ah Yin had never imagined that Qian Yunxiao had such a purpose. He was simply too bad!

How had the proper and respectable Hall Master suddenly become such a... rogue?

Yet for some reason, she had once deeply hated rogues, especially lecherous ones. They were what she hated most.

But when Qian Yunxiao acted this way, Ah Yin not only did not feel uneasy, she even found herself looking forward to that scene just as he did. On top of that, Qian Yunxiao seemed a little more... intimate.

"Come on, Ah Yin. I'll take you to have a wedding dress custom-made. I'll make you the most beautiful woman in the world. Even the goddesses of the God Realm would feel inferior upon seeing you."

Teasing such an exquisite woman was truly wonderful.

To be honest, Qian Yunxiao was just a "stud."

He did not need anyone else to judge him; he could judge himself.

At the sight of Ah Yin today, Qian Yunxiao had nearly been unable to restrain himself.

In the end, he decided to save this delicacy for the best day!

Ah Yin nodded and silently leaned against Qian Yunxiao.

When they reached the street, Ah Yin could sense that nearly everyone—

From six-year-old brats to ninety-year-old old men, could not take their eyes off her when they saw her.

Ah Yin was already somewhat afraid. She wondered if she should not have dressed like this.

"Don't be afraid!"

Just as Ah Yin was beginning to feel nervous, Qian Yunxiao's words gave her some encouragement.

At that moment, Qian Yunxiao took out a blue blanket from his Soul Tool and wrapped Ah Yin in it.

In truth, Ah Yin was not revealing much at all. It was simply because she was too beautiful.

For outsiders to get even one glimpse of such a wonderful Ah Yin's figure was already a blessing earned over several lifetimes.

She was his personal treasure.
