It was only a joke, because Snow Empress had already burst out laughing. She was teasing Lin Yu.

The two of them had gone through life-and-death situations together many times, so their relationship had become this casual.

Lin Yu said, "Still laughing? You won't even think of a reliable plan for me, and all you can think about is making things harder. Forget it. I might as well rely on myself instead of relying on you."

Snow Empress said in surprise, "You already know how to make the Qian Renxue from the past cuddle up to you?"

Lin Yu furrowed his brows in thought. There was one way. "It's only worth a try, and I still need to find the right point in time."

He then asked Qian Renxue about various matters concerning the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Qian Renxue did not know what Lin Yu wanted to do, but she answered everything truthfully.

After Lin Yu finished learning what he needed, he activated the Starry Express's power of traversal. An expanding phantom enveloped him, and the radiance of time and space bathed him in light.

After witnessing the temporal and spatial traversal power of Lin Yu's martial soul, Qian Renxue was deeply amazed. She could not help wondering if, after Lin Yu grew into a Level-100 God, he might become a god of time or space in one stroke.

Whether a god of time or a god of space, both were First-Level Gods of the God Realm, and their status was not to be underestimated.

However, the Level-100 endpoint of the Starry Express was actually the God of Trailblazing. It could traverse countless worlds at will and embark on an eternal journey of trailblazing. How could it possibly be limited by the mere Douluo Continent?

Time once again rewound to the interrogation room in the dungeon.

The Starry Express appeared out of thin air, and Lin Yu returned from more than twenty years in the future.

Snow Empress was utterly astonished. "Why have you come here again? Could it be that you want to find an opportunity in the dungeon to cuddle up to Qian Renxue?"

"But she only met you recently. Even if your ability to foresee the future is proven true this month, it would still be extremely difficult to suddenly try to cuddle up to her."

"Or are you planning to force yourself on her? That is a way. From what I can see, she's at most a Soul Ancestor right now. As long as I strike quickly enough, I'll have a chance to force her to cuddle up to you before she can react."

After transforming into human form, Snow Empress's thoughts had become as lively as a girl's.

Of course, she still preferred to use her strength to bully others. Thus, the moment she saw Lin Yu return to the dungeon, she assumed he intended to force himself on Qian Renxue.

Snow Empress was eager to try.

Lin Yu said, "Snow Empress, we civilized people should act civilly. We pay attention to mutual consent. How can we be so crude?"

But in truth, Lin Yu knew that he would not have any chance even if he tried to be crude. Qian Renxue was not an ordinary Soul Ancestor. If she dared to appear alone, it meant she had the means to protect herself.

If he could not take her down in a short time, Pufferfish and Snake Lance would follow close behind. By then, the misunderstanding would become enormous.

His previous plan had been completely shattered, and Lin Yu would fall into an incomparably awkward situation. No matter how he explained it, he would never be able to make himself clear.

Snow Empress said, "Then why did you come here? Do you want to directly persuade Qian Renxue to cuddle up to you of her own accord?"

Lin Yu said, "That's impossible. No girl would cuddle up to you so easily. I came here only to modify the piece of paper I left behind."

During his previous traversal, Lin Yu had left behind a piece of paper containing dozens of predictions about future events.

Now, he added another one.

Snow Empress did not know what Lin Yu was trying to accomplish. Adding this prediction was no different from the other dozens, as Qian Renxue would still have to personally verify it over the next twenty years.

At that moment, footsteps echoed from within the dungeon.

Lin Yu had no intention of meeting Qian Renxue, so he immediately activated the Starry Express's traversal and left.

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, had no idea that within such a short time, Lin Yu from two different timelines had already traversed away one after another.

She still saw only the piece of paper he had left behind.

Several years later, when Lin Yu appeared from his traversal, he had arrived in an incomparably prosperous city.

The capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Moon Xuan Pavilion, evening.

Moon Xuan Pavilion was extremely busy at that moment. All the students and teachers were occupied with the annual graduation ceremony, and no one noticed Lin Yu suddenly appear in the corridor.

A Soul King-level powerhouse guarded the entrance of Moon Xuan Pavilion. Anyone without an invitation from Moon Xuan Pavilion would be treated as an idle outsider and denied entry.

However, things were quite lax inside Moon Xuan Pavilion. There were nobles who had come early to look around, ordinary workers, and teachers and students. The place was extremely noisy and crowded.

Lin Yu had disguised himself and changed into a decent outfit. With his exceptionally handsome appearance, some people mistook him for a visiting noble despite his unfamiliar face.

Quite a few nobles had already gathered inside. Some had even brought their relatives, friends, sons, and daughters, all to see the Moon Xuan Pavilion famed throughout Heaven Dou City and witness the grandeur of its annual graduation ceremony.

Moon Xuan Pavilion remained busy until nightfall, and Lin Yu and Snow Empress were able to attend the grand graduation ceremony.

Snow Empress was somewhat nervous. "Lin Yu, we only have a few hours left, yet we're here watching a graduation ceremony. Aren't we neglecting our real task?"

Lin Yu said, "Don't be nervous. We still have several hours, so there's plenty of time. Do you see that pretty girl among the students?"

Snow Empress did not understand why Lin Yu had suddenly taken an interest in a pretty girl wearing Moon Xuan Pavilion's uniform while watching the graduation ceremony.

But the girl really was beautiful, and she possessed a unique air that only members of the royal family could have. At a glance, she seemed completely out of place among the others.

Lin Yu said, "Don't be fooled by her beauty and unique bearing. I've been watching her from just now until now, and I've noticed that her gaze is always lingering among the handsome men onstage. She doesn't even look at the ugly ones."

"So I'm certain she must really like handsome men deep down."

Snow Empress: ???

Lin Yu said, "I observed her repeatedly and found the common features among the handsome men she likes. Most of them can be found in me, so I'm certain I'm exactly her type. If you don't believe me, I'll show you right now."

Snow Empress felt as if the heavens had collapsed. At this crucial moment of life and death, Lin Yu was actually trying to court another girl.

Shouldn't you be cuddling up to Qian Renxue? Why are you interested in someone else?

But Lin Yu seemed to have forgotten everything else. His eyes were fixed on the girl in the crowd, shining brightly like a hunter who had spotted a pure-white lamb.

He hid himself well, however, silently moving with the crowd and gradually drawing closer to the pretty girl.

Xue Ke had been at Moon Xuan Pavilion for two years, and next year would be her third year, after which she would soon graduate. The handsome senior students onstage would never be seen again after graduating that night.

She felt extremely regretful, which was why she had come especially to watch. She wanted to see them one last time.

After all, given her identity as a princess, she could not casually seek them out. If Xue Ye found out, he would probably scold her for making a princess's conduct seem improper by casually pursuing men, and then lock her up again.

This left Xue Ke tied down, unable to act freely. She could only sneak glances at them.

But Xue Ke soon lost interest in watching the handsome senior students onstage. When she turned her head again, she was shocked to discover that an even more handsome man had appeared right beside her.
