Slaying Ning Pianpian, First Encounter with Qian Renxue

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"What is wrong with you? Even watching a spectacle requires queuing; why are you pushing forward?"

The passersby pushed aside by Xue Hen pointed fingers at him and gossiped.

Xue Hen paid no mind to these accusations. He strode over to the side of Ning Pianpian and her son, who were receiving no help, and looked down at them from his superior position.

"Let me tell you, from this day forward, in the inner palace of the Balaque Kingdom, I am the master!"

"What do birth status and rank matter? Only unfavored princes lack status. Father King favors my mother the most, and he favors me the most too!"

"When I become king, I will definitely demote you to a lowly slave!"

Looking at their miserable state, many harsh, distant voices flooded into Xue Hen's ears like a tide.

Unlike the completely fictional character 'Yuan Qi', the character 'Super Douluo-Xue Hen' was semi-fictional, the reason being that all his previous experiences were real!

As a transmigrator, after arriving in this world, he hadn't been targeted by Martial Soul Hall or troubled by the Shrek Seven Devils; instead, he had encountered a formidable enemy within his own home.

Although he had the heart to resist back then, he couldn't awaken his Martial Soul before the age of six, and he held no power in his hands. Even as a transmigrator with many ideas in his head, ideas were ultimately just ideas. Without a foundation for practice, he couldn't take action, so he could only endure silently and defend passively.

Fortunately, the heavens did not let him down. He met Su Yuntao in Nuoding City, awakened the top-tier Emerald Swan Martial Soul, and possessed Innate Full Soul Power. Although healing-type Martial Souls were difficult to cultivate, as a transmigrator, he knew of the existence of immortal herbs, so he had the confidence that he could take revenge in the future, even if it would take a longer time.

Later, the system arrived, his strength skyrocketed, and his confidence in future revenge immediately turned into the certainty that he could take revenge right now.

Yet for some reason, he was no longer in a hurry at that time; he even pondered how to maximize his benefits.

Now, seeing this mother and son with his own eyes again, that heart which had originally been calm suddenly... began to beat faster uncontrollably.

Sure enough... he was still human after all, not a machine without emotions. Some things shouldn't be weighed by pros and cons, but by following one's own heart!

"Hoo~" Thinking this, Xue Hen let out a heavy breath, and then, hum~

A dazzling golden light appeared behind him, resembling a miniature sun. At the same time, a massive red soul ring emerged from beneath his feet.

This is...

"A hundred-thousand-year soul ring!" The crowd watching became panicked in an instant and hurriedly retreated.

Then, someone recognized the Martial Soul that had appeared behind Xue Hen.

"Is, is that... the Sun Martial Soul?"

Once these words were spoken, everyone immediately made a connection. Looking at the hundred-thousand-year soul ring at Xue Hen's feet, many people hurriedly covered their mouths in excitement.

He, he is...

"Fengzhi, that person is..." Not far away, hidden in the shadows, Chen Xin's pupils constricted, and he became just as tense as the passersby.

Ning Fengzhi was the same. He gripped his cane tightly and spoke a name in a deep voice: "Yuan Qi!"

"How could he appear here? What is he trying to do?" Chen Xin asked, puzzled.

Ning Fengzhi did not speak; his brows were locked tight as he stared fixedly at the scene.

"Mm, mmm!!" Ning Pianpian and Xue Tian, whose tongues had been cut out, looked at Xue Hen, who had come to their side. Seeing him activate his Martial Soul and the hundred-thousand-year soul ring rising from his feet, they were all terrified. Although they didn't recognize this person, the posture clearly indicated ill intent. They immediately struggled even harder, emitting a series of sounds.

"Make, make way!" At this moment, several people dressed as palace guards arrived, pushing through the onlookers and demanding they clear a path.

Then, a young man with short golden hair, dressed in red and white finery, walked into the area under the protection of the guards.

"Hm?" As soon as he entered, he saw the dazzling golden light and the massive red soul ring. Qian Renxue's expression changed drastically.

The, the Sun Martial Soul?

A hundred-thousand-year soul ring!

This person is...

"I am not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business, but there is one thing I simply cannot stand: the lack of the composure an adult should have, bullying the innocent, the old, the weak, women, and children."

"On the Sky Screen, you once persecuted the mistress, framed your stepson, and bewitched your husband into exiling him. These things... are not false, right?"

A cold voice emanated from beneath the mask.

"Mm! Mmm..." Ning Pianpian and Xue Tian showed expressions of terror. They struggled and finally managed to stand up, wanting to flee the scene. But unfortunately, bound tightly as they were, they could only hop away. Moving like this, their speed was not even as fast as an elderly person walking normally; how could they possibly escape?

"It seems the content on the Sky Screen is all true. And that makes sense; just like my own affairs, how could they be fake?" Deciding to take revenge now, but with his reason still intact and not forgetting the identity he was currently using, Xue Tian muttered in the voice of Yuan Qi.

Immediately, he raised his arm, and scorching golden flames condensed in his palm, illuminating the space for a thousand meters around.

"Wicked woman, go repent in the dark abyss of hell!" Xue Hen shouted.

As the words fell, the Sun True Fire in his palm was compressed to an extreme point, transforming into an incredibly thin beam of golden light that shot out violently.

"Whoosh!"

"Pfft!"

The light instantly pierced through Ning Pianpian's body. The terrifying temperature and formidable destructive power destroyed her vitality in an instant. Her eyes widened, her pupils losing focus at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her body began to turn to ash, much like paper ignited by fire.

Soon, as the night wind blew, the person who had been hopping about just moments ago had completely vanished, leaving not even a trace of ash behind.

After disposing of Ning Pianpian, Xue Hen lowered his arm and looked at Xue Tian, who stood stunned in place, watching his mother being killed, tears streaming down his face, having forgotten even how to cry out. He hesitated for a moment and did not strike at him again.

It wasn't out of kindness, but rather because killing him didn't fit Yuan Qi's persona.

He caught a glimpse of Qian Renxue arriving at the scene out of the corner of his eye.

Her attire, along with the guards surrounding her.

The Crown Prince, he must be the Crown Prince.

Hmph, I'll leave it to the identity of Xue Hen to deal with his 'dear brother.' Qian Renxue must have come here under the orders of Xue Ye. She wouldn't let Xue Tian escape if she encountered him; she'll definitely deliver him to me. I'll just wait at the inn, Xue Hen thought to himself.

With a flick of his sleeve, he retracted his Sun Martial Soul and spirit rings, then turned and strode away.

"Wait, wait!" Seeing Xue Hen about to leave, Qian Renxue snapped out of her shock and hurried forward to give chase.

Yuan Qi's authenticity rate wasn't high enough yet; now was not the time to cross paths with Qian Renxue.

Thinking this, Xue Hen didn't slow his pace. On the contrary, he accelerated. Whoosh! Whoosh! His figure shifted like Gui Mei, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished completely.

Unable to call out to him, Qian Renxue felt deeply vexed. Her face was etched with regret, yet flickers of excitement occasionally surfaced.

It's him, it must be him. He is also in Heaven Dou City, Yuan Qi... Qian Renxue mused to herself.
