Qian Renxue

During the two days Qian Daoliu helped Ye Renxin condense his Soul Core, Qin Heng and Ye Lingling had already become friends.

It couldn't be helped. Ye Lingling was simply too curious about Qin Heng. She desperately wanted to know his secrets, as well as the things that would happen in the future.

On top of that, the shameless Qin Heng deliberately guided her with his inner thoughts, making Ye Lingling believe that they had truly been close friends in their past lives. In just two days, he had made this somewhat aloof girl open her heart to him.

Once Qian Daoliu had finished his business, he saw Qin Heng and Ye Lingling chatting happily and shook his head helplessly. That brat clearly was not the devoted type, but Qian Daoliu could not be bothered to say anything more.

That night, Qian Daoliu brought Qin Heng to the Crown Prince Residence without anyone noticing.

Qian Renxue had not returned yet, so Qian Daoliu and Qin Heng waited directly in the study.

Qin Heng's inner thoughts rang out at just the right moment: Tsk, I never even entered Xue'er's study in my past life! I really want to see what Xue'er looks like disguised as Xue Qinghe.

The two sat there for over an hour. It was not until late at night that movement sounded outside. Judging by the maids' voices, the Crown Prince had returned.

A moment later, "Xue Qinghe," reeking of alcohol, entered the study. The instant she stepped through the door, a childish voice rang in her ears: Xue'er's disguise as Xue Qinghe really is flawless. The Angel Suit's head Soul Bone is truly impressive.

Qian Renxue froze for a moment, then instinctively took a step back and snapped, "Who's there?"

In the next instant, Snake Lance and Pufferfish appeared at the same time, positioning themselves in front of Qian Renxue.

"It's me. Both of you, withdraw," Qian Daoliu's voice followed, accompanied by a sacred aura that washed over them.

Snake Lance and Pufferfish did not dare delay in the slightest. After bowing, they immediately turned and left.

"Grandpa! Why are you here?" Qian Renxue immediately removed her disguise and threw herself into Qian Daoliu's arms.

Qin Heng had always used Qian Renxue as a pretext to fool Qian Daoliu, claiming that he and Qian Renxue had been very familiar in their past lives.

But in truth, he had only ever seen Qian Renxue in the anime. This was the first time he had seen her in person. Caught off guard by such beauty, Qin Heng's mind went blank for a moment. He felt like he had fallen in love.

The reason Qin Heng had revealed his inner thoughts to Ye Lingling was because he liked her aloof, cool temperament. But Qian Renxue was different. This woman was simply too perfect.

A long lace dress of white and gold flowed around her. Her golden hair cascaded down to her waist, making her dreamlike jade features appear even more sacred. Her azure eyes were clear as a mountain lake, while her faintly visible, fair legs beneath the hem of her dress glimmered with a gentle luster beneath the soul-guided lights. She truly seemed like an Angel descended upon the world.

Qian Daoliu held his granddaughter, but his gaze remained fixed on Qin Heng's face. From Qin Heng's inner thoughts, he had learned that this fellow shared an unusual relationship with his granddaughter, but he had yet to determine what exactly that relationship was.

Now, Qian Daoliu had his answer. Qin Heng's eyes held admiration, nostalgia, and above all else, affection.

This brat definitely had feelings for his granddaughter.

Qian Daoliu was instantly furious. You already liked my granddaughter and had even gotten together with her, yet you still flirted around right in front of us. Damn brat!

Angry as he was, Qian Daoliu had not lost his reason. He transmitted his voice to Qian Renxue. "Xue'er, this child is Qin Heng, the one I mentioned in my letter."

Upon hearing her grandfather's voice transmission, Qian Renxue immediately turned to look at him.

Not long ago, she had received a letter delivered by the vice commander of the Angel Legion, an elder of the Qian Family.

The letter had been written by her grandfather, and its contents all concerned Qin Heng. Using the Qian Family's unique cipher, Qian Daoliu explained that Qin Heng was a reincarnator and had been a god in his past life. He also told Qian Renxue all the secrets he had learned from Qin Heng.

Qian Renxue's first reaction after reading the letter had been disbelief. But she knew her grandfather's personality well. He would never deceive her about something like this.

So, with a try-it-and-see attitude, Qian Renxue had Snake Lance buy two ten-thousand-year Whale Rubbers for her. She melted them down and consumed them.

Just as her grandfather's letter had said, after consuming the two ten-thousand-year Whale Rubbers, her physical constitution greatly improved, and her Soul Power rose by an entire rank.

After confirming that the Whale Rubber was effective, Qian Renxue completely believed the contents of the letter.

Her emotions were incredibly complicated. Learning so suddenly that the mother who had always disliked her had been willing to self-destruct and die for her left Qian Renxue utterly bewildered. She could not understand why Bibi Dong would do such a thing. Didn't Bibi Dong hate her and wish she were dead?

What troubled Qian Renxue even more was that, besides Bibi Dong, there was actually a man who had also been willing to self-destruct for her.

Bibi Dong was her mother, after all. Bibi Dong's actions could still be explained as maternal love. But a man who was completely unfamiliar to her as she was now had also been willing to die for her.

This made Qian Renxue even more curious about Qin Heng, whom she had never met.

Today, she had finally met Qin Heng. Seeing such complicated emotions revealed in the eyes of a child, Qian Renxue could not help but let out a soft laugh.

Seeing Qian Renxue smile only strengthened Qin Heng's resolve to win over this little Angel. His inner thoughts promptly rang out beside Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu: It's so wonderful to see this smile again after being given another life! This time, I must protect Xue'er and protect this smile.

Qian Renxue could not help feeling her ears heat up upon hearing Qin Heng's inner thoughts. That was far too direct.

But then she thought about it. Those were Qin Heng's inner thoughts. Of course they would be direct!

This made Qian Renxue even more interested in the little fellow. She looked Qin Heng up and down, then her eyes widened in shock. "Why are your Soul Power fluctuations so strong? You're almost a Soul Elder already. Didn't you awaken your Martial Soul only recently?"

Qin Heng grinned. Asura Armor covered his body, and two purple Soul Rings emerged beneath his feet.

"Thousand-year First and Second Soul Rings. Is this the effect of tempering the body with Whale Rubber?"

"No, Xue'er, you're mistaken. This brat's physical constitution was already far stronger than that of ordinary soul masters. Even without consuming Whale Rubber, he could have endured a First Soul Ring of eight or nine hundred years. It would not have been impossible for him to gamble on a thousand-year one."

After hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Qian Renxue was so shocked that she could not close her mouth. What six-year-old child possessed such a powerful physique?

At that moment, Qin Heng's inner thoughts rang out: Hehe! My physical constitution is so strong entirely because of a cultivation technique I created myself. Back when we were at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, I already passed the technique on to Grandpa Qian. Now I can pass it on to Xue'er as well.

"Xue'er..."

"What did you call me?" Qian Renxue decisively interrupted Qin Heng. "You're only six years old now, while I'm already seventeen. Shouldn't you be calling me big sister?"

"But I'm Grandpa Qian's disciple! By seniority, you should be calling me Martial Uncle," Qin Heng argued reasonably.
