She was clearly beautiful, yet she seemed like a Rakshasa, making it difficult for Gu Yuena to accept her.
Thus came her haughty little display.
Gu Yuena shoved her little hand into her bag, pulled open her pocket, and turned her head away.
Wuwuwu, how could this bad woman have her favorite candy?
Back at the Prince's Mansion, Xue Qinghe had sent all kinds of food to her room.
Over time, Qian Renxue had thoroughly figured out Gu Yuena's food preferences.
Gu Yuena simply did not know that the bad woman before her was Brother Xue, whom she liked second most.
"Alright, hurry up and take it."
Tang Dongfeng took the candy from Qian Renxue's hand and stuffed it into Gu Yuena's pocket.
The little girl clearly wanted it badly, yet because of him, she had stubbornly refused her favorite food.
"Hmph, Brother gave this to me."
Gu Yuena eagerly pulled the candy from her pocket, tore open the wrapper, and popped it into her mouth.
She was not eating Qian Renxue's candy. She was eating the candy Brother had given her.
"Yes, yes, you're eating your brother's candy."
The corners of Qian Renxue's lips rose slightly.
This little girl was so adorable. Her haughty expression reminded Qian Renxue of Xue Ke.
When she got the chance, she would bring Xue Ke over to play with Gu Yuena. Their personalities were similar, so they should get along well.
"Hurry up. We need three Soul Rings. Let's hunt them down and get out of here as soon as possible."
Tang Dongfeng sighed. He should have let Uncle Sea Dragon take Na'er alone to hunt Soul Beasts.
Who knew they would run into so much trouble along the way?
Dragon Duke and Snake Matriarch had kindly helped them, so he could not just abandon them.
Besides, Qian Renxue had not come to the Star Dou Great Forest early or late to hunt Soul Rings. She had chosen this exact time, so she was definitely here for him.
Now he had made his stance clear. He knew Qian Renxue was disguised as Xue Qinghe, yet he had not said anything.
That meant he would not interfere in the affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire. They could do whatever they wanted.
Even if they unified the Douluo Continent, what would be the point?
He possessed the Sea God's inheritance. If he wanted to, he could become a god immediately.
The so-called Sea God's Nine Trials were nothing but a joke in his eyes.
"Tang Dongfeng, we won't become enemies, right?"
Qian Renxue quietly walked to his side, like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.
At that moment, little foodie Gu Yuena was tugging on Sea Dragon Douluo's sleeve, happily eating candy.
She looked around at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings and had no time to bother with the two people ahead of her.
"Your Highness, do you really want to stand against me that badly?"
Tang Dongfeng was speechless.
Why did she always have to make a choice in her world?
Either join Spirit Hall, or become Spirit Hall's enemy?
"I don't want us to become enemies, but no one can say for certain what will happen in the future."
Qian Renxue denied it without hesitation.
It was not as though they would never become enemies just because she did not want them to.
Spirit Hall was not hers alone to command. Its current Pope was her biological mother—Bibi Dong.
When it came to geniuses, Bibi Dong had always believed that if they could not be recruited, they should be killed as quickly as possible.
Much less a peerless genius like Tang Dongfeng, who was destined to become a god.
If he could not stand with Spirit Hall, then he had to be destroyed.
"Your Highness, I won't join any faction."
Rather than joining someone else's faction, he might as well establish one himself.
No matter how powerful a faction was, could it withstand a Nuclear Explosion?
Spirit Hall was powerful, but once he could create Nuclear Fusion, a single nuclear bomb would reduce Spirit City to ashes.
What would any of that matter then?
He cultivated only so that he could have a say and make others afraid to bully him.
Just as Duke Ai had said: dignity existed only upon the edge of a sword, and truth existed only within the range of cannon fire.
He sought strength not to bully others, but so that others could not bully him.
No matter the world, only the strong earned respect. The weak had no voice.
"Tang Dongfeng, if my family wants to kill you in the future, will you kill me?"
Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment before finally asking the question.
If Bibi Dong became Tang Dongfeng's enemy, how should she choose?
Perhaps she would help her mother.
If so, what right would she have to ask Tang Dongfeng not to kill her?
"Do you really want to become my enemy that badly?"
Tang Dongfeng stared at her. She clearly knew he would be a formidable enemy, yet she kept considering the possibility of opposing him.
How was he supposed to answer that?
"No."
Qian Renxue shook her head.
They had known each other for two years, and she had a rough understanding of Tang Dongfeng's personality.
If they were not enemies, he would be her best choice.
But Spirit Hall's goal was to unify the continent.
That would inevitably involve many factions, including the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, where Tang Dongfeng might very well have friends.
"Then isn't that enough? You don't want to be my enemy, and I have no interest in going against your Spirit Hall."
Who could say for certain what the future held?
Tang Dongfeng did not give Qian Renxue a definite answer, because he did not want to deceive her.
If they truly became enemies...
Sorry, but he absolutely would not show mercy.
If someone wanted him dead and he still tried to talk about feelings, that would be courting death.
"I'll take that as your agreement. If she tries to make a move against you, I'll do my best to stop her."
Qian Renxue was not worried that she herself would fall out with Tang Dongfeng.
From Tang Dongfeng's demeanor, he clearly would not interfere with the Heaven Dou Empire's affairs or affect her plans.
As long as everyone lived peacefully together, everything could be discussed.
"System, can you scan Soul Beasts?"
At that moment, Tang Dongfeng failed to notice the joy on Qian Renxue's face.
Host, identifying a Hundred-year Soul Beast costs 1 Point, a Thousand-year Soul Beast costs 10 Points, a Ten-thousand-year Soul Beast costs 100 Points, and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast costs 1,000 Points.
The system quickly gave its answer. Damn it, injuring a Titled Douluo with an explosion only earned him 10 Points.
Yet finding a designated Thousand-year Soul Beast also cost 10 Points.
What a profiteer!
Later, he would have to find more Titled Douluo and use the Shrek Seven Devils to farm some Points along the way.
The Red Dust Protection he had given Gu Yuena had cost 1,000 Points to exchange for.
That was enough to locate a designated Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
"System, scan for Thousand Jun Ants, and scan Na'er as well. See whether she can absorb one."
To be safe, Tang Dongfeng still had the system scan Na'er's physical strength.
After all, Na'er was only one of Gu Yuena's personalities. Her body was not as powerful as the Silver Dragon King's.
Ding. 20 Points deducted. Host has 752 Points remaining.
Most of his Points had still come from Shrek Academy.
That time alone had given him 650 Points, equivalent to lightly injuring Sea Dragon Douluo with a small-scale explosion sixty-five times.
Scan complete. Na'er, the split personality of Gu Yuena, can currently absorb a 1,500-year Soul Ring. Thousand Jun Ant search complete. Please check the map.
At the same time, the system projected a map before his eyes.
Roughly 150 li away from them, there was a 1,200-year Thousand Jun Ant.
"While it's still early, everyone, pick up the pace."
Tang Dongfeng did not spell it out.
He merely altered the group's direction without anyone noticing, leading them toward the Thousand Jun Ant's nest.
You Call This a Light Unicorn?
"Tang Dongfeng, are you really a Soul Grandmaster?"
