Changing Qian Renxue's Fate

Noticing Lin Yu's gaze, Qian Renxue said coldly, "At such a young age, you already know to stare at a woman's legs? Do you want to reach out and touch them too?"

"If Sister Xue'er is willing, I wouldn't mind experiencing it," Lin Yu joked.

"You wish! Turn your head over there. Don't look at things you shouldn't be looking at!"

"Fine, I'll turn around. You don't have to be so fierce about it!"

Lin Yu obediently turned his head and began enjoying Qian Renxue's service.

"Comfortable!"

"Sister Xue'er, this feels amazing. I didn't expect you to be so good at this!"

Qian Renxue gritted her teeth. "Shut up!"

"Sister Xue'er, don't just massage my neck. Rub my shoulders too!"

Qian Renxue grew increasingly annoyed. "I know!"

"And my waist! It feels kind of sore here!"

"That's right! That's right! That angle is perfect!"

Qian Renxue was nearly at her limit. "Shut up! Stop directing me. Just lie there!"

"A little harder, Sister Xue'er!"

"That's not enough pressure!"

"Yes, yes, yes! This angle, this spot, this amount of pressure! It's perfect!!"

"Ahhh! Why do you have so much nonsense to say?! You're driving me crazy! Can you just be quiet and stop talking?!" Qian Renxue roared, gritting her teeth in fury.

Then she viciously pinched Lin Yu's waist.

"Mmgh, ah~!"

Lin Yu roared in pain, "You're supposed to be giving me a massage, not pinching me to death!"

Half an hour later, the massage ended. Qian Renxue slammed the door and stormed out.

Watching Qian Renxue leave, Lin Yu thought, It seems she hasn't become the Qian Renxue I remember at all. Then again, she'd only been undercover for four years, and she was only thirteen.

The next day, at seven in the morning, Qian Renxue came to Lin Yu's room.

Seeing Lin Yu still sound asleep, she directly threw back his blanket and forcibly woke him up. "Get up. The second day's training begins!"

"What? What time is it? Let me sleep a little longer, just a little longer!"

Lin Yu pulled the blanket back over himself and continued sleeping.

"Heh." Qian Renxue gave a wicked smile, clenched her fist, and punched Lin Yu straight in the stomach.

Bang!

Pfft!

"Damn! What are you doing?!"

Lin Yu clutched his aching stomach.

Qian Renxue grinned. "Hehe. If you don't get up on time at seven over the next few days, this is how I'll help you wake up."

"I give up." Lin Yu sighed inwardly. That punch had completely driven away his sleepiness.

Left with no choice, he got up, washed up, and began another day of combat training.

Before he knew it, five days had quietly passed.

Lin Yu's combat ability and instincts had improved astonishingly.

He was no longer a complete novice in battle.

In terms of combat ability alone, five days of training had allowed Lin Yu to nearly surpass an eight-year-old who had trained hard for two years.

For those five days, Lin Yu underwent Qian Renxue's intense training every day. They stayed together, ate together, meditated and cultivated together, fought together, and spent those brief five days together.

Their relationship had grown much closer.

Then, in the early hours of the fifth night, Lin Yu discovered Qian Renxue secretly crying alone out on the balcony.

It was the first time Lin Yu had seen Qian Renxue's soft, vulnerable side.

Lin Yu could probably guess why Qian Renxue was crying. Tomorrow was the day she would leave.

The day she would return to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace—a place that should never have belonged to her.

"Why are you crying?"

Lin Yu slowly walked to Qian Renxue's side and looked at her calmly.

Qian Renxue had already wiped away her tears. "When was I crying?"

Lin Yu reached out and touched Qian Renxue's chin, where a tear still remained unwiped. "Then what's this?"

With her lie exposed, it seemed to strike an even more sensitive and vulnerable part of Qian Renxue's heart.

She suddenly could no longer hold it in and unleashed the emotions she had suppressed for so long. Tears streamed down her face as she bit her lip lightly and said through a sob, "I... I don't want to go back anymore. I want to stay in Spirit City with Grandpa and the others."

"I don't want to keep pretending, keep wronging myself, and do things I don't like at all!!"

"But... but I have no other choice."

Back then, Bibi Dong had convened a high-level meeting and suddenly proposed the Heaven Dou Infiltration Plan, intending for Qian Renxue, who possessed exceptional disguising abilities, to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

She was to disguise herself as a prince and seize Heaven Dou's imperial power, thereby taking control of the Heaven Dou Empire's forces and joining hands with Spirit Hall to destroy the Star Luo Empire, ultimately accomplishing the grand ambition of unifying the Douluo Continent.

As soon as the plan was proposed, it received the approval of many of Spirit Hall's higher-ups.

At the time, if Qian Renxue had not wanted to go and had chosen to refuse, no one could have forced her.

But provoked by Bibi Dong's words, the young Qian Renxue fell into Bibi Dong's trap.

She lost her composure, her competitive spirit was stirred, and she wanted to prove herself to Bibi Dong. In the end, she resolutely decided to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Yet not long after arriving, Qian Renxue regretted it. But once some things had begun, it was difficult to turn back.

She could only grit her teeth and persevere. Although she had nearly grown used to it, she still deeply resisted life in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace and missed her days in the Papal Palace terribly.

Watching Qian Renxue cry, Lin Yu suddenly felt a little pained as well.

The Lin Yu of the past had merely been the son of a Six-Winged Angel Clan chief. Among the upper ranks, he had been nothing more than a complete nobody.

So he had never thought of interfering with Qian Renxue's life path.

But now, as an Inheritor of God and the personal disciple of Great Worship Elder Qian Daoliu, his status within Spirit Hall was already extraordinary.

Perhaps Lin Yu could try—try to change Qian Renxue's fate.

He took out the tissue he had prepared long ago and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Qian Renxue's eyes. "Sister Xue'er, you actually do have a choice. If you don't want to go, then you don't have to."

"What could a child like you possibly understand? You make it sound so easy. How could it be that simple?"

"I was the one who decided to go back then, and now I'm still the one who wants to give up and come back. This is such an important plan—if I can go whenever I want and return whenever I want, how could I be allowed to treat it so childishly?"

"Everyone is now expecting me to successfully seize Heaven Dou's imperial power, lead the Heaven Dou Empire's forces in joining Spirit Hall to unify the Douluo Continent, and take Spirit Hall to even greater heights!"

"I could force my way back, but if I gave up halfway, what would everyone think of me? What would they say about me behind my back? As Spirit Hall's Young Master, a dignified descendant of the Six-Winged Angel Clan's god—"

"If I were someone so childish, so willful, who gave up halfway, how could I command respect in the future?"

"And I would have let down the effort and persistence of these past four years. Unless... unless I could return and—"

"Unless returning could bring Spirit Hall greater value than seizing Heaven Dou's imperial power, right?" Lin Yu cut in before she could finish and gave her a firm answer. "Then of course you can! Because you will become the Inheritor of the Angel God!"
