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

Qian Ye smiled without saying a word.

Qian Renxue's cheeks immediately flushed red.

"Xiaoxue, while the Giant Black Crow Peng still has a breath left, go kill it," Qian Ye said, returning to normal.

"Then Xiaoxue won't hold back," Qian Renxue said with a smile.

With a flash, she appeared before the Giant Black Crow Peng. A blade rose and fell upon its vital points, falling again and again...

Caw—

After the Giant Black Crow Peng let out its final miserable cry, a black soul ring rose from its body.

Qian Renxue's eyes lit up. It was indeed a black soul ring. "Great!"

Rou Shui hurried over, leaning forward as she carefully examined the black soul ring before her.

She thought to herself that it would be wonderful if she could absorb a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring like this someday.

Qian Ye had no idea what the two girls were thinking. He walked behind Qian Renxue and patted her fragrant shoulder. "Xiaoxue, shall we begin?"

"Alright, Brother Qian Ye." Qian Renxue smiled happily.

Then she added, "Protect me while I absorb it."

Qian Ye nodded. "I will!"

Qian Renxue said no more. She sat down on the spot, inhaling and exhaling as she regulated her breathing.

She closed her eyes, calmed her mind, and entered meditation to absorb the soul ring.

Looking at her delicate, pretty back, Qian Ye walked a hundred meters away and sat on a thick fallen branch to stand guard for her.

Rou Shui glanced back at him, then quickly walked over and sat beside him.

"Brother Ye, is your Twenty-Four Winged Eternal Angel Martial Soul a god-level martial soul like the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul?"

He felt there was nothing worth hiding about this question.

Nor was he afraid to tell Rou Shui.

Rewards: Eight Trigrams Furnace

"Whether it's god-level or not, I don't know. I only know that it's very powerful," Qian Ye said uncertainly.

After all, such a martial soul had never appeared on Douluo Continent before, so he could not say for sure.

She was not stupid. She would definitely overthink things.

Although he had a good relationship with Rou Shui, they were not close enough to bare their hearts to each other.

Rou Shui smiled. "Whether it's a god-level martial soul or not, it's incredibly powerful in my eyes."

Qian Ye naturally knew that.

Then Rou Shui's face suddenly reddened, and she turned her head away bashfully.

"Brother Ye, how many years do you think my second soul ring should be?"

"How should I put it? Anything over a hundred years should be about right."

Rou Shui nodded. That was what she had thought as well.

A Thousand-Year Soul Ring was only something she dared to imagine. If she were actually asked to absorb one, she truly would not dare.

"Your first soul ring was three hundred years, so your second soul ring should be around Seven Hundred Years."

Seven Hundred Years?

Rou Shui thought about it. In her opinion, six hundred years would have been enough.

Though anything over Seven Hundred Years would work as well.

In the end, she decided to listen to Qian Ye and absorb one over Seven Hundred Years.

"Brother Ye, you're so good to Rou Shui!"

"Of course. If I'm not good to you, who should I be good to?"

Rou Shui's cheeks reddened after hearing that.

"Ding! Congratulations, Master, for checking in with the goddess Rou Shui. Reward: Eight Trigrams Furnace!"

The Eight Trigrams Furnace?

Qian Ye knew that it was used by Taishang Laojun to refine pills and forge treasures.

Not only could it refine pills, but it could also forge artifacts.

Within it was the Six Ding Divine Fire, one of the Four Great Heavenly Fires.

The Six Ding Divine Fire was the god of fire. It could even scorch the willow branch inside Guanyin Bodhisattva's jade bottle.

Not only that, the Golden Cudgel, the Nine-Toothed Rake, the Purple Gold Bell, and other magical treasures had all been forged within the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Legend had it that the Eight Trigrams Furnace's true form was the lotus pod transformed from the Creation Azure Lotus, containing innate chaos qi within it.

It was clear that only such an innate divine artifact could refine countless immortal pills and spiritual artifacts that seized the very fortune of heaven and earth.

One had to know that the Golden Cudgel was originally forged from black iron, but Taishang Laojun had refined it nine times.

Having come from the Eight Trigrams Furnace, it could grow large or small, long or short. It could ascend to the heavens, descend into the earth, calm the seas, fight battles—there was nothing it could not do.

Most importantly, the Golden Cudgel possessed intelligence. After acknowledging Sun Wukong as its master, it obeyed his every command completely.

Thus, the items refined within the Eight Trigrams Furnace were all things with spirituality.

It could refine both pills and artifacts. It truly offered the best of both worlds.

Most importantly, Sun Wukong's Fiery Golden Eyes had also been refined in the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Clearly, it could not only refine pills and artifacts, but also temper the body.

Qian Ye was overjoyed. With this thing, he could refine some pills and artifacts himself.

Half a day later.

Qian Renxue opened her eyes, and the setting sun at the horizon came into view.

"The sun is about to set!"

She had finished absorbing her fourth soul ring and was delighted.

The first person she had to thank was naturally Qian Ye.

"Renxue, have you finished absorbing it?" Seeing her rise, Rou Shui hurried forward.

"Mm." Qian Renxue responded. Seeing Rou Shui before her but not Qian Ye, her gaze swept around in every direction.

"Rou Shui, where is Brother Qian Ye?"

Rou Shui smiled. "Brother Ye left a moment ago to relieve himself."

At the mention of relieving himself, Qian Renxue thought of that thing of his, and her face flushed with embarrassment.

Rou Shui did not notice anything unusual about her. Supporting her, she said, "Renxue, you've just finished absorbing your soul ring. Go sit over there for a while."

"When Brother Ye comes back, we'll eat something before going to look for soul beasts."

Mm.

Qian Renxue and Rou Shui sat down on the spot and waited for him to return.

The two waited for quite a while before they saw Qian Ye emerge from the woods on the left.

The sky had darkened.

Night had already fallen in the forest.

Birds and beasts returned to their nests, but some nocturnal animals and insects began to emerge in droves.

The forest suddenly became lively.

One could say that the forest at night was even livelier than during the day.

For example, there were glowing plant leaves.

As well as glowing flowers and fruits.

Glowing insects.

Predators prowling about.

Insects chirping.

Seeing Qian Renxue and Rou Shui sitting together, chatting and looking around, Qian Ye knew that she had completed the absorption of her soul ring. He was very happy.

"Brother Qian Ye!" Qian Renxue hurriedly threw herself into his arms.

Rou Shui stood to one side like a third wheel, her heart surging with jealousy.

She cared deeply for Qian Ye.

These feelings had not formed in just a day or two.

Five years ago, when she first met Qian Ye, they had become deskmates.

And they had sat together for five years.

Of course, being deskmates was not the most important thing.

The most important thing was that, day by day, she had fallen for Qian Ye.

He was handsome, powerful, and a genius. She was not the only girl in class who had feelings for him.

Nearly ninety percent of the girls had designs on Qian Ye.

Whether they were sincere or not was unknown, but it was a fact that they liked him.

Qian Ye had long grown accustomed to the girls' admiration.

It was not just the girls in Class One who had fallen for him. More than ninety percent of the girls in all of Spirit Hall Academy had been attracted to him.

Many had taken the initiative to throw themselves at him, giving him flowers, snacks made with love, clothes, shoes, and even money to spend.

Qian Ye basically accepted everything and refused no one.

They had brought it right to his door, so he would be a fool not to take advantage of it.

In any case, they did so willingly, so his conscience was clear.

Qian Ye did not need to give anything in return, yet he still gained so much. Why not?

Originally, Qian Ye could have made a living with his face.

But not only could he make a living with his face, he could also make one with his strength.

Infuriating, wasn't it?

It truly was infuriating. During his five years at Spirit Hall Academy, Qian Ye had offended every boy in the academy.

It was not because he was arrogant and tyrannical.

Nor was it because he deliberately sought trouble with others.

In fact, it was quite the opposite. Many boys had actively come looking for trouble with him.

Every time, Qian Ye sent them flying.

Over time, his reputation at Spirit Hall Academy soared.

Now, Qian Ye was the most popular person at Spirit Hall Academy.

As long as his name was mentioned in the academy, there was no one who did not know it.

What was more, he was Bibi Dong's student.

There was also a fact unknown to others: he had been adopted by Qian Daoliu.

And he was Qian Renxue's inseparable childhood companion.

Qian Renxue's reliance on and affection for him had long since become deeply engraved in her bones.
