Little Xue Sister, You're Not Behaving (Seeking Readership, Readership is Important)

Qin Ming's death stirred no waves.

Even though he was once the youngest Soul Emperor on the Douluo Continent.

Even though he was a teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy in life.

Even though he was also the leader of the Tiandou Royal Team.

None of these identities, origins, or honors mattered.

In the face of his order for the Tiandou Royal Team to hold back during the spirit battle, which led to everyone's cultivation foundations being destroyed by Tang San, they all became evidence of "ingratitude and betrayal" in the eyes of Heaven Dou Royal Academy's upper echelons.

His former glory was swept away, and after his death, no one mourned him—only cold accusations and scorn remained. His corpse was directly ordered by "Xue Qinghe" to be thrown into the mass grave in the Tiandou Mountain Range, without even a proper tombstone.

After Xia Wuyou finished arranging matters at Yanhuang Academy, he too received an invitation from the Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe."

The two arrived at the Seven Treasures Glazed Hotel, and under Ning Caichen's guidance, they quickly reached the private room "Xue Qinghe" had already prepared.

Several young women in slit cheongsams filed in, placing exquisite dishes on the table, and Ning Caichen tactfully withdrew.

Inside the hotel room, Xia Wuyou and "Xue Qinghe" sat facing each other.

"There's no aura of a Title Douluo nearby?"

Xia Wuyou noticed that within the Seven Treasures Glazed Hotel, there was no presence of a Title Douluo.

Ning Fengzhi had taken Sword Douluo to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace to meet Xue Ye and discuss the earlier matter—that was understandable.

But he hadn't expected that Ci Xue Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo, the two responsible for protecting Qian Renxue, were also not nearby.

Just then, "Xue Qinghe" spoke with a smile, his tone warm yet retaining royal dignity.

"Dean Xia, I've long heard of your reputation."

"Meeting you today, you truly live up to your name."

"I received word of your takeover of Yanhuang Academy yesterday, but I was tied up with administrative affairs and couldn't visit in time. I came specially today, first to congratulate you on your new post, and second to see for myself if you're as strikingly handsome as the rumors say."

"But I didn't expect to run into your dispute with Lord Taitan and the members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy at Yanhuang Academy's gate. This reflects poorly on our Heaven Dou royal security, and I ask for your forgiveness, Dean Xia."

With that, "Xue Qinghe" downed three cups as a self-imposed penalty.

"Heh, Your Highness the Crown Prince flatters me."

Xia Wuyou sized up Qian Renxue. He had to admit, this little angel was quite skilled at winning people over, even using the Heaven Dou royal family as a model.

"Heh! Dean Xia, we hit it off at first sight—calling me 'Your Highness the Crown Prince' is too distant. You're a bit older than me, so just call me Qinghe."

"Brother Xia, you're new to Tiandou City, and Qinghe doesn't know your tastes. These are all signature dishes from the Seven Treasures Glazed Hotel—I hope you'll enjoy them."

"Xue Qinghe" warmly took Xia Wuyou's arm, unreservedly treating him like a brother.

"Oh? Brother Qinghe, is it?"

Xia Wuyou instead grasped Qian Renxue's wrist, playing with her smooth, delicate hand, his gaze full of amusement.

Seeing Xia Wuyou's move, Qian Renxue's heart trembled.

Could it be that Xia Wuyou was into both men and women?

According to the investigation, Xia Wuyou should be a normal man who liked beautiful women—he'd even gone on a date with Yanhuang Academy's Jiang Zhu last night.

"Ahaha, Brother Xia, what are you doing?"

Qian Renxue subtly tried to pull her hand back, but when she saw Xia Wuyou had no intention of letting go, the smile on her face turned stiff.

Xia Wuyou grinned.

"Heh! Brother Qinghe, you're not being honest!"

Though the fight at Yanhuang Academy's gate was over, he had never withdrawn his Eye of Time and Space Spirit from start to finish.

"My right eye tells me I should call you Brother Qinghe, but my left eye tells me I should call you Little Xue Sister."

"Boom!"

At Xia Wuyou's words, Qian Renxue's surface remained calm, but inside, it was like a thunderbolt, stirring up a storm.

Had Xia Wuyou seen through her identity with his spirit?

A fierce killing intent surged within Qian Renxue!

But then she remembered that Xia Wuyou was stronger than her, possessed a Time and Space attribute spirit, and—more critically—Ci Xue and Snake Lance were nowhere nearby. Qian Renxue was instantly at a loss.

"Brother Xia, that joke isn't funny! Qinghe is the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire—how could I be a woman? You must be mistaken, right?"

Qian Renxue stared at Xia Wuyou, her words laced with probing.

She had endured hardship, disguised herself, and lurked in the shadows for over a decade, painstakingly becoming the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. She would never allow anyone to sabotage the Martial Soul Hall's plan to usurp the state.

"Little Xue Sister, are you thinking of silencing me?"

Xia Wuyou met Qian Renxue's gaze.

Their eyes locked in midair, colliding.

Qian Renxue already had her answer.

The Eye of Time and Space could see through the disguise of the Angel Head Spirit Bone.

Xia Wuyou already knew her secret of being a woman.

"Uh... Brother Xia, Little Xue has her reasons. About me being a woman, this is a secret of the Heaven Dou royal family. Could Brother Xia please help Little Xue keep this secret?"

Finding no way to deal with Xia Wuyou now, Qian Renxue could only brace herself and come up with some excuse to buy time.

Still unsure of Xia Wuyou's stance on Martial Soul Hall, she dared not reveal her true identity outright.

"A secret of the Heaven Dou royal family? Tsk tsk, Little Xue Sister, you're not being honest. Innate Level 20 Spirit Power, and a god-level Six-winged Angel Spirit—such a formidable little angel, and you claim to be from the Heaven Dou royal family?"

"Let me remind you, the Six-winged Angel Spirit is the inherited spirit of the Angel Family in Martial Soul Hall. Little Xue Sister, are you telling me this little angel could have been born into the Heaven Dou royal family?"

"Is the Heaven Dou royal family that impressive? How come I never knew? Did the Heaven Dou Empress cheat on her husband? Or did your father, Qian Xunji, shoot the wrong target back then?"

Xia Wuyou directly used Spatial Teleportation.

He pulled the stunned Qian Renxue into his arms.

Then lightly tapped the back of her neck.

Under Xia Wuyou's powerful spirit power.

He directly undid Qian Renxue's disguise.

"You actually know how to undo the disguise of the Angel Head Spirit Bone? And Xia Wuyou, you bastard, how exactly did you find out who I am?"

Just then, Qian Renxue snapped back to reality. She realized that this bastard Xia Wuyou had taken advantage of her, and her cheeks flushed bright red, mixed with an emotion called shame and anger.

"Oh! Little Xue Sister, you're asking about that? Undoing the disguise of the Angel Head Spirit Bone? Isn't that as easy as using your hands?"

Feeling the softness in his arms, Xia Wuyou gave a wicked smile.

"Hmph?! Xia Wuyou, you lecher, let me go! How dare you lay your hands on me? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Qian Renxue was now both embarrassed and furious.

In her twenty-plus years of life, aside from being held by her grandfather Qian Daoliu as a child, she had never had such intimate contact with any man. Now, held in Xia Wuyou's arms and ambushed by this bastard, she felt utterly uncomfortable, and even her spirit power was somewhat disturbed.
