Heaven Dou Empire, Crown Princess

"Imperial Concubine, for so many years, you have remained cold as ice. Is my treatment of you not good enough?"

Inside the Crown Prince's Mansion in Tiandou City.

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, looked handsome and refined as she pinned down the woman beneath her on the bed. The woman was dressed in a Nine-Tailed Glazed Ru Skirt, her long, raven-black hair cascading over the edge of the mattress, her cheeks flushed with shyness.

"Speak! I provide you with food, clothing, shelter, and transport, sparing you from hardship and toil, allowing you to enjoy endless glory and wealth. What is the meaning of this cold face you show me every single day?"

Qian Renxue pinched the woman's chin, staring into her pair of watery, peach-blossom eyes.

"Xue Qinghe, you were the one who abducted me! Don't act as if I'm begging you. I was just eating grilled fish by the roadside when you dragged me to the imperial palace, and you still have the nerve to talk!" Ye Yunxi retorted fiercely.

"You!"

Qian Renxue raised her palm, intending to strike, but her hand froze in mid-air. She found she had no heart to actually follow through.

"You are simply incorrigible!" Qian Renxue shouted in anger.

"Feeling guilty now that you've done something wrong? If you have the guts, then hit me! If you can't kill me today, then you're no man!"

Ye Yunxi's eyes turned red, and she glared at Qian Renxue with intense hatred.

"Say what you will, I am indeed not a man. Forget about dinner; I'm starving you for a meal!"

Qian Renxue stormed out, glancing at the guards at the door and ordering, "Watch her well. Do not give her a single bite of food!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Qian Renxue left, Ye Yunxi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and lay back on the bed, feeling utterly miserable as she looked at her slender fingers.

I was reading a novel in the middle of the night when I was suddenly transported to the Douluo Continent. After finally managing to grow up, I awakened a system that very night. I thought I could soar to the heavens, kick Tang San, and punch the God King, but it turned out to be a Cross-dressing System???

At that moment, I shed tears of regret and wanted to refuse, but the system forcibly bound itself to me and molded my physique into a state of perfection while cross-dressing.

Not even a Titled Douluo or a God King could detect it, and my charm value was doubled—a single glance was enough to make anyone blush.

As luck would have it, the very next day, Qian Renxue came to inspect a village and took a fancy to me. I refused to the death, only to be hoisted over her shoulder and brought straight to the imperial palace.

It has been so long, and I have maintained a cold face toward Qian Renxue the entire time.

"Why is my life so bitter!"

[Ding! This system has finished charging and has returned. Would you like to open the Newcomer Gift Pack?]

As the voice rang out, Ye Yunxi sat up in shock. Although she wanted to curse the system, having a gift pack was better than nothing!

"Open!"

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Top-tier Beast Martial Soul, Nine-Tailed Sky Fox; Top-tier Tool Martial Soul, Glazed Moon Fan! Nine Yang Divine Skill, Lingbo Microsteps, Fox Moon Charm Art, Nine-Tailed Glazed Ru Skirt! Reward: Soul Ancestor cultivation!]

"Holy crap!"

Twin Martial Souls, and a technique like the Nine Yang Divine Skill—one would know that the Nine Yang Divine Skill alone is enough to dominate the Douluo Continent.

On top of that, I've gained the cultivation of a Soul Ancestor; I had only barely reached the level of a Soul Grand Master through hard work.

Combining the Nine Yang Divine Skill with Lingbo Microsteps is practically a recipe for takeoff.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully unlocking the Newcomer Gift Pack. Two soul rings have been bestowed upon the host: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple. The cultivation technique has reached the initial stage!]

The next moment, Ye Yunxi felt a surge of power flooding her body.

Her cultivation as a Soul Grand Master skyrocketed to the level of a Soul Ancestor.

Suddenly, nine fluffy fox tails unfurled behind her, the tips adorned with fine, shimmering specks of glaze, swaying gently with her breath.

A translucent Glazed Moon Fan appeared out of thin air in her hand. The fan surface shimmered with silver, moonlight-like radiance, and the fan ribs were carved with Nine-Tailed Sky Fox patterns, perfectly echoing the Nine-Tailed Glazed Ru Skirt she wore.

At this moment, fox ears peeked through her raven-black hair, her peach-blossom eyes were even more watery from the nourishment of soul power, and her skin was as white and lustrous as jade. She was as beautiful as a fox immortal under the moon.

[Ding! Host is wearing the epic set "Nine-Tailed Glazed Ru Skirt". Passive unlocked: Spirit Power +50%, Charm effect +100%, Glazed Barrier strength doubled!]

[Ding! Nine Yang Divine Skill has reached the initial stage; internal energy can be converted into soul power, soul power recovery speed +200%. Lingbo Microsteps has been mastered; movement speed +150%, evasion rate increased by 50%!]

Before the system's prompt could fade, the door was kicked open with a "bang," and Qian Renxue returned, seething with rage.

She had been unable to set her mind at ease, wanting to return to see if Ye Yunxi had softened her stance, but the moment she pushed the door open, she froze in place, her gaze instantly captured by the figure in the center of the room.

The woman before her no longer held any of her previous grievance or timidity. Her nine pink fox tails swayed with natural allure, and as she gently waved the Glazed Moon Fan, the breeze carried a faint, sweet fragrance. When those peach-blossom eyes looked at her, they held a hint of laziness and provocation, beautiful enough to take one's breath away.

In particular, the four soul rings beneath her feet and the pressure of a Soul Ancestor radiating from her body made Qian Renxue's pupils shrink. How long had it been?

That Soul Grand Master who couldn't even resist had suddenly leaped to become a Soul Ancestor? And she had awakened such a bizarre and stunning Martial Soul?

"You..." Qian Renxue's anger was instantly replaced by shock. Her Adam's apple bobbed, and the reprimand she had prepared died in her throat.

She could clearly feel the change in Ye Yunxi—not just the explosive growth in cultivation, but a charm that made it impossible to look away.

Even with her firm resolve, she couldn't help but tremble, her hand subconsciously loosening its grip on the doorframe.

Ye Yunxi curled her lips into a cold smile. Her fox tails swept across the floor, and she spun the Glazed Moon Fan in her palm, pointing the tip at Qian Renxue: "Xue Qinghe, didn't you want me to be obedient? Now, do you have the qualifications?"

Her voice carried the charm bonus of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, soft yet highly penetrating. Qian Renxue felt a tingling sensation in her eardrums, and her mind wavered.

She snapped back to reality, her expression turning grave: "Twin Martial Souls? Who exactly are you?"

"Who am I?" Ye Yunxi chuckled, and the soul rings at her feet suddenly lit up. The first yellow ring shone brilliantly: "First Soul Skill, Fox Eye Charm."

She raised her eyes to look at Qian Renxue, a pink halo flashing within her peach-blossom eyes.

Qian Renxue's internal alarm bells rang wildly, and she immediately channeled her soul power to resist the mental assault. Yet, the SS-rank charm effect far exceeded her expectations; even as a Soul Emperor, the moment her gaze met Ye Yunxi's, her mind went blank, and the soul power within her body nearly spiraled out of control.

"Damn it!" Qian Renxue jerked her head away, condensing her soul power into a golden light shield to protect herself. "You dare use a charm soul skill on this Highness?"

"And what if I do?" Ye Yunxi tapped her toes lightly, instantly activating Lingbo Microsteps. Her figure blurred into a residual image, darting past Qian Renxue as she sought to escape from within.

She knew she could not defeat the current Qian Renxue; she was a Soul Ancestor, and Qian Renxue was certainly not.

"Trying to run!"

Qian Renxue reached out to seize her, but Ye Yunxi's speed was too great, and her palm couldn't even graze her figure.

"Goodbye, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Ye Yunxi smiled faintly.

Just as she prepared to depart, an invisible pressure suddenly locked her firmly within the courtyard.

"Damn it!"
