Douluo: No More Pretending, My Wife Is Qian Renxue

The soul rings of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul could be upgraded through the Angel Nine Trials as one's strength increased.

Just like Qian Daoliu, his first through eighth soul rings were all uniformly black Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings.

Qian Renxue was the same. Although her first soul ring was currently only a hundred-year one, and her second was only a Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

After completing the Angel Nine Trials, however, her soul rings would directly advance to over ten thousand years.

This was another major advantage of the Qian family's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

On the Douluo Continent, the only person capable of matching Qian Daoliu now was Tang Chen.

At sea, Bo Saixi was invincible.

As for Tang San, in the original Douluo Continent novel, he and Qian Daoliu had never even met from beginning to end, much less fought.

Several days later.

The two finally returned to the entrance of Elder Hall in Spirit City.

They had secretly run off for over half a month and even taken Qian Renxue with them.

Qian Ye could already imagine what would happen in Elder Hall.

For all he knew, the moment he went back, Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and the other elder grandpas would give him a fierce scolding.

"The two Young Mistresses are back!"

The two Soul Douluo guards stationed at Elder Hall's entrance looked utterly dumbfounded when they saw Qian Ye and Qian Renxue returning from outside.

After all, they had no idea the two had gone out.

Qian Daoliu had not spread news of their disappearance either. He had only sent the nine great elders to search for them in secret.

Qian Renxue nodded. "I went out with Brother Qian Ye to buy some snacks."

"Good, good. Snacks are good!"

The two guards respectfully responded, opened the gates, and let them in.

Qian Ye frowned, already thinking about what excuse he could use to explain to Qian Daoliu and the nine great elders why they had secretly run away.

After all, to Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue was more precious than his own life.

Qian Daoliu's Task

"You're back?"

The moment Qian Ye stepped inside, Qian Daoliu's voice reached his ears.

Looking up, he saw him standing beneath the angel statue by the main entrance.

"Grandpa!" Qian Renxue called out timidly, afraid that her grandfather would blame her.

Qian Ye stood where he was without moving.

If it was a blessing, it was not a disaster. If it was a disaster, there was no avoiding it.

Since he had done it, taking responsibility was inevitable.

Worrying would not help. He might as well think of a way to deal with it.

Qian Daoliu turned around, with not a trace of anger on his face.

His gaze swept over Qian Renxue. "Xiaoxue, it's good that you're back."

Hehe~

Qian Renxue immediately burst into laughter, then gave Qian Ye a worried glance. "Grandpa treats Xiaoxue the best!"

She had no idea whether he was angry or not, but so be it!

After both sides fell silent for a moment, Qian Daoliu finally spoke. "Qian Ye, did you take Xiaoxue out?"

"No!" Naturally, Qian Ye could not admit that he had taken Qian Renxue out to hunt soul beasts and absorb soul rings.

He had already discussed this with Qian Renxue and asked her to keep it secret for him.

The reason was simple. Two six-year-old children could not possibly hunt Ten-Thousand-Year soul beasts.

"Then who did?"

Qian Ye shook his head, pretending not to know. "Grandpa Qian, I only remember waking up and finding myself somewhere else."

"Then I saw two adults in black with their faces covered. Only later did I learn that place was called Sunset Forest."

"They told Xiaoxue and me not to be afraid. They said they had brought us to Sunset Forest to help us hunt soul beasts and absorb soul rings."

Qian Renxue immediately nodded along. "Brother Qian Ye and I were terrified at the time. Fortunately, it later proved that they had no intention of harming us."

"They really did hunt soul beasts for us and help us absorb soul rings."

Who could it have been?

Bibi Dong?

Qian Daoliu considered it before saying, "It's good that you're both safe. Xiaoxue, let Grandpa take a look at your soul rings."

"No problem!"

Having passed the test, Qian Renxue smiled happily and released all her Soul Power.

Buzz, buzz, buzz. One yellow and one purple soul ring emerged.

A hundred-year Soul Ring and a Thousand-Year Soul Ring!

Qian Daoliu was somewhat surprised. He had not expected his granddaughter to gain so much from this trip. He was very satisfied with such a soul ring configuration.

He simply did not know who the two mysterious people who had taken them to Sunset Forest were.

Could it really have been Bibi Dong?

"And what about you, Qian Ye?" Qian Daoliu turned his gaze toward him again.

Mm~

Qian Ye said nothing more. With a buzz, buzz, buzz, three soul rings lit up around him.

Purple, black, black.

Qian Daoliu was stunned. This boy truly was extraordinary. His first soul ring had already absorbed a Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

His second and third were both Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings.

Even his younger self could only admit inferiority.

No matter who had taken them to Sunset Forest to absorb soul rings, the fact that they had returned safely was a good thing!

Qian Daoliu suddenly smiled kindly. "Xiaoxue, go play first. I have something to say to your Brother Qian Ye."

"Okay, Grandpa!" Qian Renxue glanced at him before turning and leaving.

Qian Daoliu crossed the distance in a single step and looked down at Qian Ye. "Do you remember what I told you last time?"

Qian Ye nodded. "Yes, Grandpa. You gave me my life."

"Very good. You're a smart child. Now that you're six years old, it's time for you to go out and gain experience."

It seemed Qian Daoliu was going to send him out on a mission.

"Don't worry. Although you have no blood ties with the Qian family, Grandpa has always treated you the same as Xiaoxue, without favoritism."

"This mission is simple as well. Spirit Hall Academy is about to begin classes, and I plan to send you there to study."

That was it?

Qian Ye smiled. He had thought it would be some major mission.

Qian Daoliu seemed to see the surprise in his heart and smiled. "Of course, studying is real, but it is not your main task."

"You should have heard of Bibi Dong. She is the current Pope of Spirit Hall's Pope's Palace."

"Oh?" Qian Ye did not understand what he meant.

How had he become involved with Bibi Dong?

Qian Daoliu rubbed his head. "Child, don't overthink it. I mentioned Bibi Dong because she harbors disloyal intentions toward Spirit Hall."

"When you go to Spirit Hall Academy, find opportunities to befriend her and earn her trust. Just keep an eye on her every move."

"As long as she has no disloyal intentions, everything will remain peaceful. If she does, pay close attention. It's that simple."

So that was it!

He would not refuse this matter.

Qian Daoliu had not done anything to Bibi Dong, nor had he ever intended to hurt her.

In that regard, Qian Daoliu had been quite tolerant of Bibi Dong.

After all, he had endured the grudge of his son's death without killing Bibi Dong. He had even helped her take the Pope's seat. That was already quite generous.

Qian Ye gave a simple-minded grin. "Grandpa Qian, don't worry. I'll listen only to you."

"That's good!" Qian Daoliu stroked his head with satisfaction.

He had not cherished this child for nothing!

He probably had no intention of letting Qian Renxue go.

In the original novel, Qian Daoliu had never let her show herself in public!

But since he had come to the Douluo Continent, he had to fight for her to have a chance.

To give her some good memories.

"Grandpa Qian, is Xiaoxue going to Spirit Hall Academy too?"

Qian Daoliu shook his head. "Xiaoxue isn't going. She has other things to learn."

"That's such a pity!" Qian Ye spread his hands.

"What's a pity?" Qian Daoliu asked curiously.

He felt that Qian Ye was more talkative than usual today.

Qian Ye smiled innocently. "Grandpa Qian, I think you should let Xiaoxue go with me."

"I think Xiaoxue would definitely want to go with me too. If I go alone and leave her at home by herself, I think she'll be very sad and upset."

"Everyone has the right to choose. Xiaoxue does too. You're Xiaoxue's grandfather, and I don't think you would want Xiaoxue to have an unhappy youth, would you?"

"So, Grandpa Qian, can you give Xiaoxue a chance to choose?"

Qian Daoliu: "..."

Qian Ye: "..."

The two looked at each other.

Qian Daoliu said, "Mm... Qian Ye, I know how close you and Xiaoxue are. Go back first. Grandpa will consider this matter."

"Thank you, Grandpa Qian!"

Qian Ye stopped while he was ahead. Whether Qian Daoliu agreed or not, he had already done all he could.

What happened next would depend on Xiaoxue's fate.

With his current strength, this was all he could fight for on her behalf.

He hoped he could win her a chance at campus life!

Even if it was only for a few years, that would be enough.

"Brother Qian Ye, Grandpa didn't blame you, did he?" When she saw him return, Qian Renxue immediately came forward and asked.

Qian Ye smiled, placed a hand on her head, and ruffled her hair. "As long as you don't tell him I took you there and keep this secret forever, I'll be fine."

"So, Xiaoxue, can you keep this secret for me?"

"I can!" Qian Renxue raised her hand and swore.
