Qian Renxue Was Dumbfounded

PS: I apologize to those who were dissatisfied with the previous chapters.

However, the premise of this book lacks a rigid main plot. I cannot reveal that the protagonist is the culprit right now, only for everyone to hunt him down to release the Soul Beasts and then kill them all. There wouldn't be much left to write if I did that.

I have to intersperse other plotlines!

Regardless, thank you to the friends who have stuck with me this far. Thank you!

...Main Text...

"The Grand Elder's granddaughter must be outstanding!"

"Then I thank the Grand Elder for his kindness!"

Lin Yue didn't hesitate at all and agreed immediately.

Bibi Dong was damaged goods, but Qian Renxue was not.

Furthermore, with the connection to Qian Renxue established, his future maneuvers would be much easier to execute.

After he conquered the entire Soul Beast race, they not only provided him with feedback in cultivation but also contributed a steady stream of faith power.

Even if Lin Yue were to lie flat now, relying on the faith power of the Soul Beast race, he would be able to create his own God Position within a few years.

Back then, even after the Sea God conquered all life in the ocean, it still took him over a thousand years to gather enough faith power to create his own God Position.

Even though the faith power Lin Yue received every moment was far greater than what the Sea God had, it was still impossible to accumulate enough in an instant.

Therefore, Lin Yue thought about harvesting a wave from human Spirit Masters as well; that way, he could create his own God Position even faster.

Besides, he had nothing better to do.

Lin Yue already had an idea of how to harvest faith power from human Spirit Masters.

Well... rather than calling it harvesting, it would be more accurate to call it a scam!

Lin Yue prepared to use the power of Martial Soul Hall to have them promote him.

He would claim that his Martial Soul Space contained a vast number of Soul Beasts and that they could even breed within it.

Then, he would tell everyone that given enough time, he could cultivate a massive amount of Soul Beasts.

This would fill everyone with anticipation, and they would subconsciously contribute their faith power to him.

Even if they realized later that they had been deceived, the faith power already contributed would not be taken back.

In any case, he would scam as much as he could!

Regardless, he would never release the Soul Beasts. Bringing a few out occasionally wouldn't hurt; it would only increase the world's confidence and expectations in him.

Once the Soul Beast race entered his Containment Shelter, they became his resources and his source of power. How could he possibly release them?

They were his property.

As for whether it was wrong to deceive the world?

Well, apologies, but Lin Yue planned to let everyone know in the future that he was the one who made the Soul Beast race disappear anyway—so what was a little deception?

He was dying to see how everyone would react once they found out the Soul Beast race had been contained by him.

"Hahaha, good, good, good!"

"In that case, are you willing to make a trip to the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Qian Daoliu had no idea of the dark thoughts in Lin Yue's mind and laughed upon hearing this.

"Of course, I also want to go and see my fiancée!"

Lin Yue smiled and agreed.

"Lin Yue, after breaking through to Titled Douluo, have your abilities changed?"

After betrothing Qian Renxue to Lin Yue, Qian Daoliu's gaze toward him became much warmer, and he began to inquire about Lin Yue's current situation.

He simply wanted to understand.

Even if Lin Yue's Martial Soul remained the same, his value was still immeasurable.

"Grand Elder, after breaking through to Titled Douluo, my Soul Skill allows me to control all the Soul Beasts I have contained."

Lin Yue revealed a little bit.

"Really?"

Qian Daoliu was pleasantly surprised. It seemed that Lin Yue's combat power was quite impressive.

A group of Soul Beasts with over ten thousand years of cultivation was something even a Titled Douluo might not be able to handle.

In other words, Lin Yue truly possessed the combat power of a Titled Douluo.

"It is a pity that all the Soul Beasts have disappeared; otherwise, with your Martial Soul's ability, the possibilities would be even greater."

Qian Daoliu couldn't help but sigh.

If the Soul Beasts hadn't vanished, Lin Yue's Martial Soul Space could have contained a massive group of Soul Beasts with over fifty thousand or even a hundred thousand years of cultivation.

That would have been incredible.

"How about this, Lin Yue? Follow me and cultivate for a few days. I will teach you some practical Self-Created Soul Skills!"

After a regretful sigh, Qian Daoliu spoke to Lin Yue.

At Qian Daoliu's level, he was certainly capable of creating his own Self-Created Soul Skills.

"That would be wonderful, many thanks, Great High Priest!"

Lin Yue did not refuse.

This was exactly what he had been hoping for!

Aside from his raw cultivation, he truly lacked any decent soul skills.

The only two soul bone skills he possessed were both auxiliary in nature.

And so, for the next few days, Lin Yue followed Qian Daoliu to learn.

Qian Daoliu was indeed worthy of being one of the Three Peerless Douluo, and the most veteran among them, as he had mastered quite a few Self-Created Soul Skills.

Although they were not as powerful as soul ring skills, they served to temporarily patch some of Lin Yue's shortcomings.

Heaven Dou Empire.

Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.

When Qian Renxue returned to her bedchamber, she saw a letter resting on her bed.

"It's a letter from Grandfather!"

Upon seeing the special mark on the envelope, Qian Renxue's expression brightened, and she hurried forward to pick it up.

"What?"

"How could Grandfather have found me a fiancé, and Elder Lin Yue at that!"

After reading the contents of the letter, Qian Renxue was completely stunned.

She truly had not expected that her grandfather would betroth her to someone else, let alone a man she had never met.

She had known the name Lin Yue for a long time, but she had never laid eyes on him.

With a blush, Qian Renxue continued reading the letter.

She wanted to know why her grandfather would betroth her to Lin Yue.

Soon, Qian Renxue finished the letter.

In it, Qian Daoliu had explained everything she needed to know.

He detailed Lin Yue's proposal to alter the plan, as well as the soul beast resources Lin Yue possessed.

Only then did Qian Renxue understand why her grandfather had betrothed her to Lin Yue.

This Lin Yue was simply too important to her.

Qian Renxue had been somewhat resistant at first, but after learning how outstanding and vital Lin Yue was, her resistance faded.

On the contrary, Qian Renxue began to grow curious about him: "Lin Yue... what kind of person are you exactly?"

She was truly shocked that he could conceive of simply replacing Emperor Xue Ye.

She had occasionally thought about killing Emperor Xue Ye, but her subsequent plan had always been to ascend the throne as the Crown Prince and gradually seize control of the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

Disguising herself directly as Emperor Xue Ye would indeed save so much trouble.

There would be no need to expend effort on the transition of power, nor would she need to build prestige step by step... everything would be ready-made.

She now found herself looking forward to Lin Yue's arrival.

Her grandfather had told her that Lin Yue would come to assist her in a few days.
