Qian Renxue: What a Domineering Little Man! (Request Monthly Ticket)

Qian Renxue had already questioned Ning Fengzhi yesterday.

She was now disguised as the Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe. Ning Fengzhi was the Crown Prince's teacher, and the two were allies.

However, Ning Fengzhi had not revealed the secret. He explained that if she wanted accurate information, she could only ask Dugu Bo and Lu Duzhou in person.

Lu Duzhou and Dugu Bo arrived at the Eastern Palace. After exchanging pleasantries, Xue Qinghe directly stated her purpose.

"Dugu Mianxia, I invited you both here today because I wish to learn the secret behind your granddaughter's Absorb Soul Ring Beyond Theoretical Limit, as well as the secret of Martial Soul Evolution."

"Whatever conditions you have, feel free to name them."

Dugu Bo smiled.

"The secrets belong to Xiao Zhou. Your Highness should discuss them with him."

Xue Qinghe looked toward Lu Duzhou.

"Little Brother, what are your conditions?"

Lu Duzhou put on a thoughtful expression, only speaking after a moment.

"Your Highness, I would like to speak with you alone."

Xue Qinghe gave Lu Duzhou a surprised glance, then looked at Dugu Bo.

Seeing that the latter said nothing, Xue Qinghe nodded slightly and rose to her feet.

"Brother Xiao Zhou, come with me."

The two entered the room next door. Lu Duzhou released his Martial Soul and activated the Blue Silver Domain.

An isolated space was formed.

Then, Lu Duzhou's next words nearly made Xue Qinghe attack on the spot.

"Lu Duzhou pays his respects to Your Highness, the Princess."

Qian Renxue's expression changed slightly, but she maintained her smile.

"Xiao Zhou, what are you doing? Where is there a princess here?"

Lu Duzhou smiled.

"Your Highness, there is no need to conceal it."

"I possess an Eye-type Soul Skill that can see through all disguises."

"Although Your Highness's disguise is extremely advanced and can deceive nearly everyone, including His Majesty the Emperor, it cannot deceive me."

"Your Highness is definitely a woman."

Qian Renxue's thoughts raced. She immediately realized that Lu Duzhou had merely seen through her gender and not uncovered her true identity, and she secretly let out a breath of relief.

"What do you want?"

She spoke coolly.

Lu Duzhou smiled and stepped forward, pressing the matter.

"Your Highness, does His Majesty the Emperor know that you are a woman?"

"Do you wish to inherit that position?"

Qian Renxue looked into Lu Duzhou's eyes as she answered.

"Father Emperor does not know."

"Mother Empress concealed everything back then. Later, everyone involved was dealt with."

"Now, you are the only one in the entire Imperial Palace who knows."

"As for that position, This Palace naturally intends to claim it."

Lu Duzhou nodded.

"Then that is good. Our transaction can proceed."

"Your Highness, you are a woman, but the Crown Prince is a man. The Crown Prince needs women and needs heirs."

"Therefore, I hope you will marry Older Sister Dugu Yan as the Crown Princess."

"In reality, you and I will be together. I will help you conceive and bear a child."

"Our child will become the future emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire!"

Qian Renxue was truly shocked by the young man before her.

Compared with her plan to assassinate Xue Qinghe and replace him as Crown Prince, Lu Duzhou's idea was the true method of swapping the plum tree for the peach tree.

Through a fake marriage, he would bind her to the Dugu Clan and have their son inherit the throne. In name, it would be the Xue Family's Heaven Dou Empire, but in reality, it would become the Lu Family's empire.

She could not help feeling somewhat discouraged.

The youth before her was not even Twelve Years Old. He had risen step by step from an orphan with Half-level Innate Soul Power into a prodigy who stirred the major factions, and now he even had a plan to scheme for an entire nation.

Meanwhile, she had infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire for so long, yet she had achieved almost nothing worth mentioning.

She had to admit that this plan truly tempted her.

First, once she married Dugu Yan, her status as the Heaven Dou Empire's heir would be almost completely secured.

Without Dugu Bo's support, that useless Second Prince would have no ability to compete at all.

Second, Lu Duzhou was powerful, deeply calculating, and quite handsome. He was an excellent marriage prospect.

Finally, she was not truly of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal bloodline, so she felt no resistance whatsoever toward Lu Duzhou's desire to have his own bloodline inherit the Heaven Dou Empire.

Even taking the worst-case scenario into account, if there were no Lu Duzhou, she would still have to find someone to bear children with after inheriting the throne in the future.

The current Lu Duzhou was the most suitable choice.

"Fine. I can have a child with you."

"Can you tell me all the secrets now?"

Lu Duzhou smiled and stepped closer.

"I would first like to see Your Highness's true face."

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes.

"You are just a little brat right now. Even if you saw me naked, you could not do anything!"

As she spoke, she removed the disguise from her face, revealing an exquisite and breathtakingly beautiful countenance.

Lu Duzhou sighed sincerely.

"Your Highness is truly the most beautiful woman I have ever seen!"

A smile curved Qian Renxue's lips at his words.

No matter how gifted and monstrous you are, Lu Duzhou, you have still been conquered by my beauty, haven't you?

She stepped forward, grabbed Lu Duzhou's hand, and said in a coquettish tone.

"Tell me quickly!"

Lu Duzhou smiled.

"The first secret is actually very simple. Melt Whale Rubber and consume it, and it can greatly strengthen the Physical Body, allowing one to Absorb Soul Ring Beyond Theoretical Limit."

"As for Martial Soul Evolution, one needs to consume an Immortal Herb. Immortal Herbs are Immortal Grade Spirit Medicines comparable to Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, and they are exceedingly rare."

"Every Immortal Herb has different effects."

"Tang San, Aimi, and I all consumed Immortal Herbs, but our Martial Souls did not transform."

"The only Immortal Herb I had left that could evolve a Martial Soul has already been given to Ning Fengzhi. It is for Ning Rongrong to consume."

After a pause, Lu Duzhou suddenly pulled Qian Renxue into his arms and stared into her eyes.

"However, I still have an Immortal Herb that can help someone break through to become a Title Douluo."

"As long as Your Highness becomes my woman, that Immortal Herb will be yours."

Qian Renxue had been thinking about the Immortal Herb when, in a moment of carelessness, she was pulled into Lu Duzhou's embrace.

It was her first time being so intimate with an unfamiliar man, and her ears could not help turning red.

"You are too young. How long would I have to wait before you can make me a woman?"

Qian Renxue cradled Lu Duzhou's face and lightly kissed his cheek, smiling as she spoke.

"How about you give it to me now?"

Lu Duzhou immediately released her, taking several steps back to create distance.

"Your Highness, as long as we proceed according to our plan, I will definitely give you what I promised."

"That will be all for today."

"I will discuss the matter of the Crown Princess with Dugu Mianxia. Once there is a result, I will notify you. Do not be impatient."

After saying that, he turned and walked directly toward the palace where Dugu Bo was waiting.

Qian Renxue pursed her lips and watched Lu Duzhou's departing back, sighing inwardly.

"What a domineering little man!"

After returning to Dugu Bo's manor, Lu Duzhou and Dugu Bo entered a room.

After activating the Blue Silver Domain and sealing off the outside world, Lu Duzhou recounted the terms of his cooperation with Qian Renxue.

"What!? You want Yanyan to become the Crown Princess!?"

"And become Empress in the future!"

Dugu Bo stared at Lu Duzhou, his eyes filled with scrutiny.

"You brat actually dared to use my granddaughter as part of a deal! You had better give me a reasonable explanation!"
