It must be said that when it comes to winning over the strong, Xue Beng has a keen sense of awareness.

Since Xue Hen is a Super Douluo and possesses the bloodline of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, he is an asset that the Heaven Dou Imperial Family must strive to win back. Therefore, Xue Hen having sent him flying in the past is something he can pretend never happened. Not only that, but he can also manage to show favor, offer explanations, and build closeness—all of which he is capable of doing.

In the original story, he did the same when facing Tang San after he had become a force to be reckoned with; he took him as his master, remained respectful at all times, and never once mentioned the time he was beaten black and blue by the Shrek Seven Devils.

Hearing Xue Beng's assurance, Prince Xue Xing nodded in relief.

His nephew understands the big picture. Now, all that remains is to wait for the evening to take him to visit Xue Hen.

On the streets of Heaven Dou City.

Xue Hen is still walking here, unaware that Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng intend to find him tonight, as he is currently "strolling" about.

After being lured out by Emperor Xue Ye, visited by 'Xue Qinghe', and having caused a scene at the Martial Soul Holy Temple to execute the Platinum Bishop Salas, he can now completely stop wearing a mask. He can appear in the soul master world with this face quite generously, and it does not matter if he is watched by countless people.

On the Sky Screen, Xue Hen is a person who hates trouble.

But now that his whereabouts are known to so many people and so many factions, wearing a mask is useless; it would only be like covering one's ears while stealing a bell. So, he simply stopped wearing it. Let those who are curious about him just look to their hearts' content—that is only natural, right?

No one will find it strange.

Furthermore, his current 'Semi-Fictional Character-Xue Hen' is only 0.5 percent away from a one-hundred-percent reality rate. Now is the time to brush up his presence and raise that number.

Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity to stop hiding and show his face completely, he is walking around the city to further experience the local customs and allow the citizens of Heaven Dou City to feel his existence more clearly.

Let them know that the content on the Sky Screen is all real!

Super Douluo-Xue Hen is truly real!

In the evening, Xue Hen walked out of the building behind him under the respectful escort of the Great Soul Arena manager.

Back on the street, Xue Hen's mind stirred, and he pulled up the System Panel.

[Semi-Fictional Character: Super Douluo-Xue Hen

Reality Rate: 99.5%→99.76%]

Looking at the data above, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

It is getting closer and closer.

At this rate, it won't be long before he completes the one-hundred-percent reality rate for this character and steps into the ninety-eighth-level soul power realm.

Closing the panel and looking up at the sky, Xue Hen began to walk toward the inn where he was staying.

On the way, the citizens passing by still cast excited and nervous gazes at him. Xue Hen did not care at all and continued on his way.

Returning to the inn and finishing his dinner, he went upstairs to his guest room.

He did not cultivate or read; he moved a chair to the window and sat there, admiring the moonlight outside.

It has been almost twenty-one years.

He has been in this world for so many years. Before, he only had the Emerald Swan as a martial soul and cultivated step-by-step, reaching the realm of a Soul Emperor. Then, in this short month or so, he suddenly rose from a Soul Emperor to a ninety-seventh-level Titled Douluo. To be honest, this feeling is very strange.

The changes are too great.

It feels like time has flown and the world has turned upside down, yet only a little over a month has passed...

Xue Hen shook his head. People are prone to overthinking at night; why think so much?

Life is getting better and better, and that is enough!

"Knock, knock, knock~" At this moment, a knock sounded at the door.

Xue Hen's thoughts paused. He turned his gaze toward the door and released his spiritual power to sense it, discovering an aura he had encountered before.

Xue Beng.

Qian Renxue came yesterday, and he came today. These two really know how to compete, Xue Hen muttered to himself.

Immediately, he waved his hand, and the door bolt was lifted by a gust of air, causing the door to open inward automatically.

Prince Xue Xing was about to knock again when he found the door had opened on its own. He froze for a moment, then looked at the figure sitting in the chair by the window after the door opened.

Xue Hen.

In terms of bloodline, the other party is his cousin, but seeing him in person for the first time, and thinking of his terrifying display on the Sky Screen and his rampage at the Martial Soul Holy Temple this morning to execute Salas, Prince Xue Xing suddenly felt a sense of fear. He did not know how to start the conversation he had originally planned.

"Cousin, may we come in?" Fortunately, Xue Beng relieved his embarrassment at this moment. With bandages wrapped around his body, he poked his head out from behind Prince Xue Xing and asked Xue Hen very politely.

"It was Xue Qinghe yesterday, and it is you today. I said, there is no cousin here for you," Xue Hen said indifferently.

Xue Beng stepped out completely from behind Xue Xing. His right hand was wrapped in bandages and hung in front of his chest, while his left hand carried a bag of fruit. He said very earnestly, "We share the same ancestors and clan, and you are younger than me, so naturally, you are my cousin."

"Heh." Xue Hen let out a disdainful scoff.

At this time, Prince Xue Xing also plucked up his courage. A look of closeness and kindness, similar to that of Emperor Xue Ye at the time, appeared on his face as he said to Xue Hen, "Xue Hen, I am your uncle, Xue Xing. Knowing you were staying here, I specifically brought your brother to see you. That... may we come in?"

Xue Hen looked at them. Seeing that Xue Beng was carrying things and Prince Xue Xing's hands were also full, he frowned and said, "Guests are welcome. Please, come in."

"Ha, good, good," Prince Xue Xing laughed hurriedly.

Then, he brought Xue Beng in, placed the things he was carrying on the table, and introduced them to Xue Hen, "These are some snacks unique to Heaven Dou City. We didn't know if you had tasted them, and these fruits are very fresh. You should try them in a while."

The items weren't particularly valuable, but it was clear they had been carefully selected; the fruit was large and pristine, and the pastries were still steaming.

Xue Hen rose, walked over to glance at the gifts they had brought, and then said to them, "Sit."

"Right, of course." Prince Xue Xing nodded repeatedly before sitting down on the sofa with Xue Beng.

"Did the two of you come here to lobby me to serve His Majesty the Emperor, or do you have some other agenda, like His Highness the Crown Prince?" Xue Hen returned to his chair, sat down, and asked the two men before him.

Other agendas?

Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng exchanged a look, surprised by Xue Hen's words.

Hadn't Xue Qinghe come here under orders from the Emperor to strengthen ties with Xue Hen and persuade him to return to the family? How could there be other agendas?

The two couldn't fathom it, but they didn't intend to ask; they had to focus on their own business first.

Prince Xue Xing shook his head and said to Xue Hen, "That is not the case. I brought Xue Beng here today primarily to resolve the misunderstanding between you brothers. As for whether you are willing to set aside your grievances and return to the Imperial Family, we certainly hope you will, but we cannot, and dare not, force you."

"A misunderstanding?" Xue Hen cast his gaze toward Xue Beng.

"Xue Beng, hurry, explain that matter to your younger brother." Prince Xue Xing said to the Xue Beng beside him.

"Yes, younger brother, actually..."
