The Trifling Pain of Childbirth...

That night, at Lin Wanwan's vehement insistence, the two women still stayed in the same palace despite Qian Renxue's equally vehement objections.

"Xiao Xue, take off your clothes."

Lin Wanwan's words instantly startled Qian Renxue, who had been admiring the palace's extreme luxury. She instinctively clutched her clothes tighter and stared at Lin Wanwan warily.

"What are you trying to do? It's broad daylight, so don't try anything funny. I told you, we're both women. There can never be a future between us."

On Douluo Continent, countless people had already begun cursing Lin Wanwan.

"What the hell? Is this woman sick? It's broad daylight, and she wants to have sex in public?"

The cultivators of the Eight Regions were far too open-minded. Men and women were one thing, but women with women too?"

"Calm down, calm down. Maybe that's a specialty of the Heavenly Domain, hehehehe. But then again, do you think the Light Screen will cut off at the most crucial moment?"

"Probably not..."

"Now that you mention it..."

At that moment, although countless people across Douluo Continent were cursing Lin Wanwan, who knew how many were secretly cheering her on in their hearts...

In the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Beng found Qian Renxue increasingly familiar the more he looked at her. After a long while, he finally turned to Prince Xuexing beside him and asked.

"Imperial Uncle, don't you think this Qian Renxue looks a little like Crown Prince Xue Qinghe? And Xue Qinghe just so happens to have gone missing too..."

Prince Xuexing had also been eagerly anticipating what came next, but Xue Beng's words made him freeze for a moment. Then, he kept examining Qian Renxue, finding her more and more similar to his eldest nephew, Xue Qinghe.

In an instant, an ominous premonition surfaced in his mind.

"Could this Qian Renxue be Xue Qinghe disguised as a woman?"

Prince Xuexing's words nearly made Xue Beng live up to his name and completely lose it.

"Imperial Uncle, did you forget that the heavenly curtain said her name is Qian Renxue? There aren't many people on the continent with the surname Qian, and she also possesses the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. Don't you find that strange?"

"You mean..."

Xue Ke, standing nearby, rolled her eyes speechlessly at her Imperial Uncle and decisively spoke up.

"Fourth Brother means that Eldest Brother Xue Qinghe may have met with disaster long ago, and Qian Renxue has been impersonating him!"

Xue Ke's words made Xue Xing suck in a sharp breath.

If the Heaven Dou Empire's First Prince, Xue Qinghe, really had been impersonated by Qian Renxue, and Qian Renxue was connected to Spirit Hall, then the conspiracy behind this...

At that thought, cold sweat soaked Xue Xing's back.

If Qian Renxue had not been chosen by chance and sent to the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, then Spirit Hall's conspiracy would likely have truly succeeded!

Prince Xuexing could not help looking toward Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

"Senior Dugu, was Imperial Brother's poison truly incurable before?"

Hearing this, Dugu Bo nodded.

"Before I encountered little friend Tang San, Xue Ye's poison truly had no cure. If it had continued, he would not have lasted long before breathing his last, dead beyond doubt."

After receiving confirmation from Dugu Bo, Xue Xing's face instantly turned blacker than the bottom of a pot.

If things had followed their original course, then after his Imperial Brother passed away, Xue Qinghe would undoubtedly have inherited the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire. And Xue Qinghe was Qian Renxue of Spirit Hall in disguise. In that case, if Qian Renxue, having become the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, casually leaked some of its secrets, would the Heaven Dou Empire not stand absolutely no chance against Spirit Hall?

After all, who would have imagined that the ruler of a nation would actually betray that nation?

This time, they had truly escaped by the skin of their teeth.

"No, I need to question Spirit Hall. What exactly are they trying to do? Do they really think our Heaven Dou Empire is so easy to bully?"

The moment Prince Xuexing's words left his mouth, both Xue Beng and Xue Ke immediately stopped him.

"Imperial Uncle, don't act rashly. We have no evidence."

"That's right, Imperial Uncle. Everything just now was only our speculation. We can't produce any evidence. As long as Spirit Hall denies it outright, there is nothing we can do."

"So you're saying that aside from enduring it, we have no other choice?"

"That's indeed the case. After all, among those from the Heaven Dou Empire who went to the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, aside from Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, everyone else has already been wiped out..."

At the mention of this, everyone present fell silent.

No one could have imagined that Xue Ye, the Heaven Dou Empire's Emperor and a mighty level eighty-eight assault-type battle Soul Douluo, would die so miserably...

If the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family was restless due to discovering the connection between Qian Renxue and Xue Qinghe, then Spirit Hall's Pope, Bibi Dong, was now left with nothing but unease.

"Xue'er, you must restrain yourself! That Lin Wanwan before you is no good person. You mustn't agree!"

"No matter what, you cannot follow in my footsteps!"

Qian Daoliu's face showed visible awkwardness upon hearing this. How could he not understand what Bibi Dong was talking about? In the end, it was all his unfortunate son Qian Xunji's fault!

Sometimes, as his father, he truly wanted to resurrect Qian Xunji and personally kill him all over again...

"Well, Bibi Dong, everything is in the past. People should look forward and not always dwell on the past. Don't you agree?"

Hearing this, Bibi Dong turned to look at Qian Daoliu, her gaze filled with mockery.

"Great Offering, have you forgotten that the one who did that to me back then was your son, Qian Xunji?"

Qian Daoliu: ...

At that moment, his desire to resurrect Qian Xunji and kill him again reached its peak...

Meanwhile, inside the palace of the Magic Boat, Lin Wanwan looked at Qian Renxue with utter confusion, not knowing what nonsense she was spouting. She merely took out a jade bottle from her Storage Pouch and waved it.

"Xiao Xue, this is a secret treasure of our Hundred Flowers Palace. It can replace the true blood of ordinary Fierce beasts, helping you refine yourself, condense Divine Radiance, quickly complete the Blood Transporting Realm, and enter the Hole Heaven Realm."

"I don't know much about the Star Extremity Sect. I only know that it is one of the Heavenly Domain's overlords, with tremendous power and deep foundations. I also don't know why the Star Extremity Sect chose us, but I imagine that as long as we have strength, we will be able to protect ourselves even within the Star Extremity Sect."

"I asked Sun Elder just now. Even at the speed of the Star Extremity Battleship, it will take around half a month to reach the Star Extremity Sect. During those half a month, I will help you break through from the Blood Transporting Realm to the Hole Heaven Realm as soon as possible."

Hearing Lin Wanwan say this, Qian Renxue's pretty face flushed slightly, and she silently spat at her own improper thoughts.

She had nearly believed that Lin Wanwan was overcome with lust and wanted to have sex in broad daylight...

"Um, Wanwan, what do I need to do?"

"It's very simple. When you take a bath later, I'll put this into the bathwater."

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Wanwan continued.

"However, you're a little older, so when refining your body and nurturing Divine Radiance within it, it will be more painful than for ordinary cultivators. After all, you'll need to Change Tendons and Wash Marrow, shedding your mortal form and remaking your bones. You understand, right?"

"But don't worry. When the time comes, I'll use the Hundred Flowers Palace's special secret art to ease your pain. In theory, it should be about equivalent to the pain of childbirth."

Hearing Lin Wanwan say this, Qian Renxue nodded.

Pain like childbirth?

Although she had heard childbirth was painful, what kind of suffering had she not endured in the past to become stronger and prove herself?

How could the trifling pain of childbirth compare to the pain I endured back then to become stronger?!
