It was also the weakest and most useless hereditary Martial Soul among all the imperial families throughout history.
He couldn't understand why this kind of Martial Soul had been chosen as the imperial family's Martial Soul. Even more baffling was that the bunch of good-for-nothings in the Star Luo Empire hadn't managed to conquer the Heaven Dou Empire, which didn't even have a Titled Douluo.
Seeing that Xue Qinghe still wanted to keep up the act, Ye Qingzhou exposed his disguise:
"Your Highness, should I call you Crown Prince or Sister Qian Renxue?"
The name Qian Renxue reached Xue Qinghe and Snake Lance Douluo, who was hidden nearby. Snake Lance Douluo seriously doubted that he'd heard correctly, while Xue Qinghe remained silent for a long time.
Looking at Xue Qinghe, who stood frozen in place, Ye Qingzhou said with a smile, "Sister Qian Renxue, did you think my father and I didn't keep in touch by letter? He's told me everything about you."
"Otherwise, why do you think I was bold enough to let my Prayer Angel Martial Soul resonate with your Angel Martial Soul?"
Xue Qinghe shuddered slightly. He hadn't expected Ye Qingzhou to go this far.
He'd underestimated him after all.
"I never imagined that you and your father would still exchange letters. Then why is the relationship between the two of you...?"
Ye Qingzhou shifted the subject to Qian Renxue and said calmly, "Sister Qian Renxue, you should understand this feeling better than I do. But compared to you, I'm more willing to fight back instead of changing myself to chase after something illusory."
"Something illusory..." Qian Renxue naturally understood what Ye Qingzhou meant.
She and Ye Qingzhou could be called kindred spirits.
One parent had died young, while the other was still alive but ignored them.
But Luo Feng was far, far better than her mother, Bibi Dong.
Seeing the despondent look in Qian Renxue's eyes, Ye Qingzhou continued, "Sometimes, we don't have to betray our own hearts for the sake of pursuing something we long for but the other person won't give us. We should try to fight back and prove that we're not easy to push around. Don't you agree?"
"Even though we still exchange letters, I won't forgive him easily."
"Not unless he truly fulfills his responsibilities as a father."
"Besides, Sister Qian Renxue, letting Bibi Dong inherit Spirit Hall wouldn't be a good thing for Spirit Hall."
Qian Renxue was still pondering Ye Qingzhou's words.
"I understand. I'll give it some serious thought."
Bibi Dong really was quite extreme. Even if she hadn't deliberately shown it in front of Qian Renxue, all she'd revealed was her hatred of Qian Renxue and the Angel bloodline.
Luo Feng had warned her about this before, too.
He'd told her to be wary of Bibi Dong.
It seemed the Qian Family's power still couldn't be allowed to fall into an outsider's hands.
"Little Ye Qingzhou, more than all that, I'm curious about which god's divine power the Prayer Angel inside you comes from."
"It's completely different from the divine power of the Angel God I know. It's even much stronger than the Angel God's."
They were both successors of gods. The Angel God had chosen her, and she'd possessed innate full Soul Power.
The divine power surging from Ye Qingzhou had also come from a god.
There was no need for them to hide this from each other.
As far as she knew, no one else on the continent had been chosen by a god as an heir.
Because of her Angel Martial Soul, she felt even closer to Ye Qingzhou.
Just as Qian Renxue had expected, Ye Qingzhou explained, "The Life God King, one of the Five Great God Kings who stand above the entire Divine Realm. The Angel God you mentioned, Sister Qian Renxue, is only a First-Level God in the Divine Realm."
A God King?!
The words God King struck Qian Renxue's mind like a bolt of lightning.
Her Qian Family represented the Angel God, yet she'd never heard of God Kings.
There were five God Kings who stood above the entire Divine Realm, and one of them had chosen Ye Qingzhou.
It was utterly shocking.
It also explained why a mere Prayer Angel could be stronger than her Six-Winged Angel.
Just then, Ye Qingzhou looked Qian Renxue up and down.
Noticing that Ye Qingzhou was brazenly looking her over, Qian Renxue furrowed her brows slightly.
Was there something dirty on her?
"Sister Qian Renxue, since our Angel Martial Souls can resonate with each other, do you think we might be able to perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Qian Renxue considered the idea carefully.
For two Soul Masters to perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they needed to meet three conditions: synchronized Soul Power, synchronized minds, and compatible Martial Souls.
As far as he knew, the Martial Soul Fusion Skills were Yue Guan and Gui Mei's, Dragon Duke and Snake Granny's, and the Star Luo imperial family's Hell White Tiger.
The resonance between their Angel Martial Souls just now had fulfilled one of the conditions: Martial Soul compatibility.
"We can try, but there's no room to do it here in the Heaven Dou Empire."
She needed to find a safe place to test it.
Ye Qingzhou understood Qian Renxue's concerns.
"Then I'll go home and wait to hear from you, Sister Qian Renxue."
Ye Qingzhou hopped off the bed and prepared to leave.
Looking at Ye Qingzhou's small figure, Qian Renxue asked, "You're leaving already? Won't you stay a little longer?"
Ye Qingzhou kept walking toward the door and waved to Qian Renxue. Without saying a word, he left.
Only after confirming Ye Qingzhou had gone did Snake Lance Douluo emerge from the shadows.
"Miss, can we really trust that boy, Ye Qingzhou?"
Clearly, Snake Lance Douluo was still unwilling to trust Ye Qingzhou. He firmly believed that anyone whose heart wasn't with Spirit Hall would eventually betray them and reveal Qian Renxue's secret.
Unlike Snake Lance Douluo, who remained suspicious, Qian Renxue chose to believe him:
"Mm. If he were really our enemy, my identity would've been exposed long ago. Uncle Snake, sorry for the trouble, but please make a trip and tell Grandpa about Ye Qingzhou."
"Remember, only Grandpa can know."
She felt that she needed to tell her grandfather about the god behind Ye Qingzhou: Spirit Hall's Grand Pontiff, the level-99 Peerless Douluo and high priest of the Angel God.
Snake Lance Douluo nodded. "Understood, Miss. Please be careful in everything you do during this time."
"You can leave it to me. Go." With that, Qian Renxue watched Snake Lance Douluo leave.
A few days later.
Ye Qingzhou's study was enveloped in an immense aura of life. The entire room brimmed with vitality.
Just moments ago, he'd received the details of the First Trial of Life. It wasn't exactly difficult, but it wasn't exactly easy, either.
[Life God's First Trial: Reach Soul Ancestor rank before the age of twelve; heal at least ten people.]
"Reaching Soul Ancestor rank before I turn twelve is only a matter of time. But how am I supposed to heal ten people?"
"I'll ask Grandpa."
Ye Qingzhou got out of bed and headed for Ye Shuyuan's study.
Ye Qingzhou pushed the door open, but Ye Shuyuan wasn't inside.
"Strange..."
Seeing that the study was empty, Ye Qingzhou searched the clinic, but couldn't find Ye Shuyuan anywhere.
