Douluo: I Won't Hide It Anymore, My Wife Is Qian Renxue

At Douluo Continent's cost of living, this was no small sum.

Accumulated over a year, it came to 120 Gold Soul Coins.

Once one reached above Level 30, the Soul Elder rank, they could receive 100 gold coins every month.

That came to 1,200 Gold Soul Coins a year.

Just by collecting subsidies, one could live a comfortable life without worrying about food or clothing.

Of course, there were no more subsidies beyond that.

Once a Soul Master's Soul Power surpassed Level 40 Soul Elder and reached Level 41 Soul Ancestor or above, the subsidies would immediately stop.

So, at Level 33, Qian Ye still met the requirements to receive them.

"Brother Qian Ye, sit down first. Xiaoxue will go line up for food!"

Qian Ye was about to stop her and go get the food himself.

But Qian Renxue had already squeezed into the crowd and joined the line.

Looking at her petite back, Qian Ye smiled fondly. "This little girl is quite considerate."

He did not stand on ceremony and sat down.

He swore that he would treat her well.

"Qian Ye, can I sit here?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded beside him.

Qian Ye withdrew his gaze and found a little girl standing before him.

He immediately recognized her as Rou Shui, his deskmate.

He glanced at the empty seat across from him. "Of course. It's your freedom."

Rou Shui smiled happily and sat down across from him.

As for the seat beside him, it had naturally been saved for Qian Renxue. If someone else wanted to sit there, he certainly would not agree.

He had no right to interfere with the seat across from him.

There were four seats at the table.

After sitting down, Rou Shui was about to pick up her chopsticks and eat when she saw him sitting there without moving or going to get food.

She felt a little embarrassed to eat by herself. "Um... Qian Ye, why aren't you going to get food?"

"Oh, Xiaoxue went to get it for me," Qian Ye replied politely.

"Xiaoxue?" Rou Shui did not know who that was.

Qian Ye said, "Qian Renxue. Our families are neighbors, and we grew up together."

Rou Shui's eyes widened. "Childhood sweethearts?"

Qian Ye merely smiled without answering.

Rou Shui blushed and lowered her head to eat.

Why was this little girl blushing too?

Qian Ye saw through it but did not expose her.

It seemed his excellence had already made an impression on the girls in class!

"Brother Qian Ye, this is yours."

Just as Qian Ye was admiring himself, Qian Renxue returned with the food.

She placed a tray in front of him and sat down beside him.

Qian Ye smiled faintly, picked up his chopsticks, and glanced over the meal. Sure enough, there were three dishes and one soup.

Of the three dishes, two were meat and one was vegetables.

The soup was pork rib and corn soup, boiled into a milky white broth that smelled delicious.

The meat came in big chunks too.

Spirit Hall Academy's food really was good.

Halfway through the meal.

Qian Ye remembered something and immediately said to Qian Renxue beside him, "Xiaoxue, after we finish eating, let's go to the subsidy office first."

"Why?" Qian Renxue looked at him in confusion.

"It's a good thing!"

"Qian Renxue, I know," Rou Shui suddenly chimed in.

Qian Renxue looked at her. Seeing that she was a classmate and Qian Ye's deskmate, she responded, "Rou Shui, what do you know?"

Rou Shui glanced at Qian Ye before smiling at her. "As far as I know, Spirit Hall Academy's subsidy office is where subsidies are issued to students."

"Generally, there are two kinds. The first is funded by the academy itself. Any student who enters Spirit Hall Academy, whether their Soul Power is Level 1 or Level 10, can receive one Gold Soul Coin each month."

"Once they exceed Level 10, meaning they become a Level 11 Soul Master or above, the academy will immediately cancel this subsidy."

"Then, those with the strength of a Level 11 Soul Master can receive one Gold Soul Coin per month."

"Upon reaching Level 21 Soul Grandmaster, they receive ten Gold Soul Coins per month."

"Upon reaching Level 31 Soul Elder, they receive 100 Gold Soul Coins per month."

"And once they surpass Level 40, meaning Level 41 Soul Ancestor and above, there will be no subsidy, and it will be immediately canceled."

Qian Renxue nodded, only then remembering that she seemed to have heard her Second Grandpa and the others mention it before.

Qian Ye had not expected Rou Shui to know so much, and he looked at her in a new light.

Rou Shui smiled again. "Since Qian Ye is already a Level 33 Soul Elder, he can receive 100 Gold Soul Coins every month."

Then she looked at Qian Renxue. "Qian Renxue, you're Level 22, so you can also receive ten Gold Soul Coins every month."

Having said that, Rou Shui sighed. "I'm only Level 3, so I can only receive the academy-funded subsidy of one Gold Soul Coin a month!"

Qian Ye smiled. At the very least, Spirit Hall Academy had done quite well in this regard.

Qian Renxue clapped her hands. Although she was not short of money, and Spirit Hall was controlled by her grandfather, earning it herself felt different from being given it by others.

"Brother Qian Ye, shall we go register and collect it after we finish eating?"

Collecting Soul Master Subsidies ### "Gold Soul Coins that were free for the taking were not to be missed!"

That was what Qian Ye thought.

Qian Ye was not yet at the point where he had more Gold Soul Coins than he could spend.

Besides, they were free to collect.

Naturally, he would not give up this source of income.

"Um, Qian Ye, can I go with you?"

Qian Ye felt there was nothing wrong with Rou Shui coming along.

It would be good for her and Xiaoxue, two girls, to have each other for company at the academy.

He could not stay by Xiaoxue's side all day.

"Sure, it's good to go together. You'll have company!"

"Mhm!" Rou Shui smiled happily.

Qian Renxue looked at Rou Shui and did not like her very much.

She felt that Brother Qian Ye was hers alone and did not want to share his affection with other girls.

After they finished eating.

Qian Ye asked around with the two girls and quickly found the entrance to the subsidy office.

Fortunately, there were only the three of them now. Otherwise, they would have had to line up.

After all, Spirit Hall Academy had recruited quite a few new students this year.

If they all came at once, the line would stretch like a "long dragon."

"You three, what do you need?"

As soon as Qian Ye reached the entrance, the goat-bearded old man sitting inside asked.

The three looked at one another, then Qian Ye stepped in first and walked up to him. "Grandpa, we're newly enrolled students here to collect our subsidies."

"Mhm, mhm."

Qian Renxue and Rou Shui nodded together, looking at the goat-bearded old man with wide blinking eyes as they acted cute.

Hearing this, the goat-bearded old man looked the three little ones over again. Seeing that the boy looked like a porcelain doll, delicate and handsome, he liked him at first sight.

He then glanced at Rou Shui before finally turning his gaze to Qian Renxue. His eyes immediately lit up.

This little girl was naturally beautiful. At such a young age, she already possessed beauty capable of toppling a city and a kingdom!

When she grew up, would she not become a calamity capable of toppling nations?

He shifted his gaze back to Qian Ye. This little boy was already handsome enough to charm the heavens, the earth, and even the air at such a young age!

When he grew up, would he not be so handsome that he reached the skies, becoming the most handsome man on Douluo Continent?

Thinking back to when he had been their age, he had been handsome too!

But the setting sun was infinitely beautiful, only too close to dusk.

He was old now. Though his handsomeness remained, he was no longer young!

"Hello, little fellow. What's your name, and which class are you in?"

The goat-bearded old man finally put aside his airs and asked with a kind expression.

"My name is Qian Ye, Class One for new students!"

"Class One for new students, Qian Renxue."

"My name is Rou Shui. Like the two of them, I'm also in Class One."

The three answered one after another.

There was nothing to hide.

Seeing that the old man was amiable, they all had a good impression of him.

Liu Dekuai said, "Mhm. Give me your student badges so I can register you."

Qian Ye immediately took off his student badge, collected Qian Renxue's and Rou Shui's as well, and handed all three to the old man.

Liu Dekuai took them and checked them. Seeing that they were genuine, he registered them, returned the student badges, and said, "Our academy has two kinds of subsidies in total!"

"The first is funded by the academy itself. As long as you are a student of the academy, regardless of your Soul Power level, you can receive one Gold Soul Coin every month!"

"The second is the Soul Master subsidy. Soul Masters with Soul Power at Level 11 or above receive one Gold Soul Coin per month."

"Soul Grand Masters at Level 21 or above receive ten Gold Soul Coins per month."

"Those at Level 31 or above receive 100 Gold Soul Coins per month."

"Of course, that's impossible for you!"

Hearing the old man's last remark, Qian Ye, Qian Renxue, and Rou Shui exchanged glances and all laughed.

Because he had too much faith in his own judgment.
