Douluo: I Won't Hide It Anymore, Qian Renxue Is My Wife — Chapter 25

Bibi Dong's eyes shifted, but she said nothing more and did not move.

Qian Ye waited, not knowing how she would answer or what she would do next.

Suddenly, Bibi Dong rose to her feet and pounced on Qian Ye without warning. She scooped him up from the bed and headed for the door.

Qian Ye: "..."

Held in Bibi Dong's arms like a child, he did not even know what to say to her.

This seemed... illogical.

Bibi Dong moved swiftly, so swiftly that the people nearby saw only a flash of her beautiful figure.

Qian Ye tried to break free from her arms, but she was holding him too tightly. No matter how he struggled, he could not get away.

Then he figured it out.

Since he could not resist, he might as well go with the flow.

Qian Ye stopped moving altogether, thinking that Bibi Dong's maternal instincts had suddenly overflowed.

Bibi Dong carried him all the way to a large courtyard within a restricted area behind Spirit Hall Academy.

Qian Ye found himself standing before a wooden gate, with a dark green stone path stretching behind it.

Ancient trees had been planted on both sides.

The two trees flanking the gate stood nearly a hundred meters tall. Their leaves were emerald green, giving off an enticing fragrance.

Suddenly, the gate opened from within, and two men stepped out.

Bibi Dong had already set Qian Ye down. He glanced at the two men, one clad in black armor and the other in golden armor.

He immediately recognized them as none other than Bibi Dong's two trusted elders, Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo.

The two bowed to Bibi Dong and then walked inside together.

"Your Holiness, everything is ready," Yue Guan said.

Ghost Demon stood beside Bibi Dong without saying a word, his gloomy gaze fixed on the little fellow before him.

Qian Ye had just withdrawn his gaze from Yue Guan when he looked toward Ghost Demon, only to find that Ghost Demon was staring at him as well.

The courtyard was enormous. A large chair stood at the very front, and Bibi Dong sat upon it.

Bibi Dong walked up to the carved chair and dropped into it, revealing a seductive yet sinister smile.

To others, her smile felt like a blade hidden behind honeyed words.

No one knew whether she was happy or angry.

Yue Guan and Ghost Demon stood more than ten feet to Bibi Dong's left and right, their gazes both falling upon the little fellow standing in the middle of the courtyard.

Although Qian Ye refused to admit that he was a little fellow, there was nothing he could do if others saw him that way.

He merely thought that in a few more years, he would grow up.

Suddenly, a loud sound rang out as the gate at the back of the courtyard opened.

Qian Ye looked toward the source of the sound and saw nothing but darkness beyond the gate.

It was easy to imagine that Bibi Dong had summoned him here with ulterior motives.

Tap, tap, tap~

Sudden footsteps sounded from behind. One, two, three people walked in.

Qian Ye saw that the oldest of the three was only around twenty, while the youngest was sixteen or seventeen.

With a single glance, he felt that there was something unusual about them.

Yet he could not tell what it was. Still, a sense of danger rushed toward him.

Bibi Dong did not even spare the three a glance. She merely said, "Yue Guan, have the three of them come over."

Yue Guan nodded, glanced at the three by the gate, and said coldly, "Come here."

The three looked at one another before walking over together.

Their expressions differed—sinister, fearful, arrogant.

Two men and one woman, all faintly giving off an evil aura.

Qian Ye roughly guessed what Bibi Dong intended to do to him.

Soon, the three arrived before Bibi Dong, their eyes filled only with awe and fear toward her.

Only after they stood before her did Bibi Dong raise her eyes to look at them. "I'll give the three of you an opportunity..."

Her gaze then swept toward Qian Ye in the center of the courtyard. "As long as you kill him, I'll let you go."

Yue Guan and Ghost Demon exchanged a glance and smiled.

That smile was suffocating.

Only after hearing their conversation did Qian Ye confirm her intentions.

The three suddenly turned around and walked toward him.

Their gloomy eyes carried a trace of mockery. They did not regard him as a living person at all.

He could almost guess their origins.

There were two kinds of soul masters on Douluo Continent.

Soul Masters and Evil Soul Masters.

The difference between righteousness and evil lay in a single thought.

One thought led to heaven; one thought led to hell.

Evil Soul Masters were not inherently evil people.

They had simply chosen another path, an evil path.

Their cultivation was slaughter.

Soul Masters who cultivated through evil practices were what Douluo Continent called Evil Soul Masters.

If Qian Ye wished, he could become an Evil Soul Master as well.

Ghost Douluo's Martial Soul was a ghost, essentially an inherently sinister Martial Soul.

Yet he had not become an Evil Soul Master.

Because he had chosen another path.

Bone Douluo was much the same.

Qian Ye was full of disdain toward the three approaching him.

The three walked over and surrounded him.

The man in front was around twenty, with a long scar on the left side of his face. Yet it did not affect his handsomeness.

The other one, the Peach-eyed Woman, was not very old either, around seventeen, and rather pretty.

Her dark green gown fit her graceful figure perfectly, making her look especially vibrant.

Her beautiful eyes were narrow and shone with purple light, like sparkling gemstones.

The last was the Gray-clothed Youth, around seventeen. His eyes were dull, lacking the brilliance someone his age should have had.

He looked like an empty shell that had already lost its soul.

Qian Ye had no idea how strong they were.

He did not feel the slightest fear. Even if the three had exceptional foundations, at most they would be in their thirties, unless they were monstrously gifted.

Evil Soul Masters cultivated relatively faster than ordinary soul masters.

The Scar-faced Man merely glanced at Qian Ye. Seeing that he was only a six- or seven-year-old child, he immediately lost interest.

The Peach-eyed Woman's gaze was cold and emotionless. She did not take Qian Ye seriously either.

The Gray-clothed Youth remained blank-faced, his eyes lifeless, revealing no expression.

"Your Holiness, are you really going to make Qian Ye fight the three of them?" Yue Guan asked with a thoughtful smile.

Bibi Dong fell silent for a moment. "Is there a problem?"

Yue Guan: "..."

"Old Chrysanthemum, is it your place to question whatever Her Holiness chooses to do?" Ghost Demon asked, looking provocatively at his old companion.

Yue Guan was not angered. "Qian Ye may be Level 33 and possess Twin Martial Souls, but he has no real combat experience. He has to face two opponents above Level 30, and one of them is even Level 52!"

"The gap is simply too great."

Chapter 27: Soul King

"Old Chrysanthemum, this seems to have nothing to do with you, does it?" Ghost Demon continued to argue.

Yue Guan shot him a glare. "Old Ghost, don't forget that Qian Ye was adopted by the Great Enshrined Elder. If we hurt him, do you think the old man won't come after us?"

"Your Holiness, I'm afraid this matter cannot be kept from the Great Enshrined Elder. You must think this through carefully."

Ghost Demon's expression turned unpleasant upon hearing that.

Just as Yue Guan said, angering the Great Enshrined Elder would bring unimaginable consequences.

If Qian Daoliu decided to kill people to vent his anger, even Bibi Dong would not be able to stop him.

Even if Qian Daoliu did not trouble Bibi Dong, he would still come after them.

Yue Guan and Ghost Demon exchanged another glance, both looking grim.

But whatever Bibi Dong wanted to do was not something the two of them could stop.

Bibi Dong gave a sinister smile. "No one wants him dead. I'm only testing him."

"Your Holiness means..." Ghost Demon sensed a deeper meaning in her words.

Yue Guan listened closely.

Bibi Dong smiled again, though it barely looked like a smile. "Qian Ye is a genius, a true genius, but he belongs to Qian Daoliu."

"So I think a genius like him should not be used by that man. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yue Guan immediately perked up after hearing this. "Your Holiness, do you want to win Qian Ye over to our side?"

Ghost Demon smiled. As long as Her Holiness did not kill him, Qian Daoliu would not go so far as to kill him and Yue Guan.

Bibi Dong said nothing more. Leaning against the back of her chair, she watched the people in the courtyard with the look of someone enjoying a show.

Heh heh heh~

The Scar-faced Man sized Qian Ye up and gave a sinister grin. "Hey, little brat, if you surrender now, how about Uncle leaves you with an intact corpse?"

This guy really thought he was a lamb waiting for slaughter.

Qian Ye had his own plans. With a hum, one Soul Ring, then two, then three rose beneath him.

Purple, black, black.

This...

The three were all stunned upon seeing his Soul Rings.

They had never dreamed that a boy of only around six could not only be above Level 30, but had even absorbed Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings.

The first was a thousand-year ring, the second had reached ten thousand years, and the third was also ten thousand years.

They were merely Evil Soul Masters under a minor leader. How could they ever have seen such a sight?

At that moment, a massive carrot rose behind Qian Ye.

But in the eyes of the three, it only drew ridicule.

"A Carrot Martial Soul? It's only a Food-type Martial Soul with no offensive power. Even if you have Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, you're no match for us," the Scar-faced Man said with a light laugh.

The Peach-eyed Woman laughed as well.

The Gray-clothed Youth remained blank-faced, his eyes still lifeless.
