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

Qian Renxue was the first to react. She grabbed Rou Shui and retreated backward.

"What was that?" Rou Shui jumped in fright. She had not noticed the thing at all before it slipped into the water.

Qian Renxue shook her head. "It was too fast. I didn't see it clearly either."

She turned to Qian Ye. "Did you see it?"

Qian Ye nodded. "Yeah, it was a Crimson Gold Carp."

Rou Shui let out a sigh of relief. It had been a false alarm. "I didn't expect there to be such a big fish in this lake."

Qian Renxue was not surprised. "The Star Dou Great Forest is the domain of soul beasts. Anything is possible here."

She looked at Rou Shui. "Rou Shui, I think a Crimson Gold Carp soul ring would suit your martial soul quite well. We just don't know how many years of cultivation it has."

Rou Shui's eyes lit up. That was indeed true. She immediately turned to Qian Ye for help. "Brother Ye, what do you think?"

Qian Ye smiled and scratched his head. "How about this? I'll lure it out, then we'll know."

Rou Shui had no better idea, so that was all they could do.

Qian Ye said nothing more. He took out a small knife, cut down a bamboo stalk nearby, stripped off the leaves, and carried it to the lakeshore.

Then he stirred the water with it, splashing it around.

Splash, splash~

The bamboo smacked against the water's surface, sending sprays flying and waves rolling.

Splash~

Suddenly, a golden figure shot out of the water, its mouth wide open as it pounced at Qian Ye.

"Good fellow!" Qian Ye shouted when he saw that he had finally provoked it out. He dodged with a swift sidestep to the left.

The Crimson Gold Carp missed him and crashed onto the shore.

Without further thought, Qian Ye flipped to his feet and landed in front of it. After giving it a glance, he had a rough idea of its strength.

It was the size of a newborn calf, its entire body covered in crimson-gold scales that gleamed golden beneath the sunlight.

They were rather dazzling.

"It's so beautiful!" Rou Shui could not help praising it.

She wanted this Crimson Gold Carp's soul ring as well, but she did not know its age.

"Brother Ye, how many years is it?"

Qian Ye examined it for a while before answering, "Hmm, it has around Nine Hundred Years of cultivation."

"What should we do? That's more than two hundred years above what we expected." Rou Shui had planned to absorb a soul ring of around Six Hundred Years for her second soul ring.

But this one was Nine Hundred Years old, and she did not dare absorb it so readily.

Qian Renxue said nothing. This concerned someone's life, so it was not her place to make the decision for another person.

Rou Shui was still hesitating.

The Crimson Gold Carp sprang up and slipped back into the water.

Qian Ye thought about it. Opportunities like this were rare, so he decided to offer her some advice. The path of a soul master was fraught with danger everywhere; taking the occasional risk was perfectly normal.

"Rou Shui, in my opinion, whether it's Nine Hundred Years or Seven Hundred Years, neither has reached One Thousand Years. You can absorb it."

"Of course, the extra two hundred years of cultivation does bring some risk.

"I..." Rou Shui hesitated. Should she absorb it or not?

Qian Renxue looked toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest. She had heard that in the core region, there was a lake inhabited by a Hundred Thousand Years Emperor Soul Beast, the Sky Azure Bull Python.

There was also a giant ape, the Titan Giant Ape.

"Brother Ye, I've made up my mind. I'm going to give it a try."

Qian Ye nodded. "Good!"

After striking the water again, he lured the Crimson Gold Carp back to the surface and knocked it unconscious.

A Nine Hundred Years soul beast was nothing to Qian Ye. He could have killed it in an instant.

But he had to leave it alive for Rou Shui to deliver the finishing blow.

"Rou Shui, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Okay, Brother Ye!" Rou Shui took out a small knife and brought it down on the vital spot of the motionless Crimson Gold Carp lying on the ground. Down came the blade, again and again...

Buzz~

A yellow soul ring immediately rose from the Crimson Gold Carp's body.

Rou Shui's eyes brightened. A Nine Hundred Years soul ring put enormous pressure on her, but if she successfully absorbed it, it would greatly benefit her cultivation.

"Brother Ye, can you stand guard for me?"

"No problem." Qian Ye gestured for her not to worry.

Rou Shui smiled sweetly, sat down on the spot, and began meditating to absorb the Nine Hundred Years soul ring.

Qian Ye plopped down onto the grass, then lay back.

The warm sunlight fell over him, feeling wonderfully pleasant.

Qian Renxue glanced back at him, then turned around and took off her coat, revealing the snow-white skin of her back.

"Brother Qian Ye, I'm going down for a bath?"

Uh~

Looking at Qian Renxue's perfect, delicate figure, all he could see was a dazzling expanse of white. He could not help getting a nosebleed. "Sure!"

Qian Renxue's face flushed. She hurriedly leaped up and dove into the lake, vanishing from sight.

The Man Faced Demon Spider's Great Evil

Splash, splash~

Suddenly, Qian Renxue leaped up from beneath the water and surfaced, swimming toward the middle of the lake like a mermaid.

Qian Ye's gaze locked onto the beauty in the water. She was over 1.7 meters tall, and her long legs appeared and disappeared beneath the surface. Any man would be moved by the sight.

"What a beauty!"

Qian Ye could not help it. His nosebleed sprayed out.

He was tired as well. He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

He did not know how long had passed when a strange, familiar fragrance drifted toward him.

Qian Ye opened his eyes and, sure enough, saw someone half-lying atop him, fast asleep.

Looking at Qian Renxue's sleeping face and her brilliant golden hair, he reached out to stroke her head. It felt nice.

Qian Renxue had opened her eyes by then and saw that he was looking at her too. They were so close that their breaths mingled together.

Her heart pounded, and her face had already turned red.

Though Qian Renxue was shy, she did not avoid his gaze.

Gradually, Qian Ye and Qian Renxue's red lips met, and they began to kiss.

Qian Renxue's first kiss was reserved only for the person she loved.

And Qian Ye was the one she loved with all her heart.

Only after kissing for half an hour did they release each other and lie on the ground, gazing up at the sky.

Qian Ye's lips still carried Qian Renxue's lingering fragrance.

Qian Renxue's eyes shone as she recalled every detail of their kiss.

She felt that this was the happiest moment of her life.

"Brother Qian Ye, are you willing to stay with Xiao Xue forever?" Qian Renxue suddenly asked.

"Yeah. As long as you want to, we can be together forever." Of course, that was what he wanted too.

Qian Ye loved her. There was no doubt about that.

And Qian Renxue's love for him had already sunk deep into her bones.

She suddenly lifted her head and rested it against Qian Ye's chest, listening to the sound of his heartbeat.

Qian Ye reached out and played with her long hair, counting each strand one by one.

Though he counted slowly, he was patient and completely focused.

Qian Renxue enjoyed it all. Today was, in her eyes, the happiest day of her life.

Half a day later.

Rou Shui gradually opened her eyes. She had finished absorbing her second soul ring.

She was delighted. Through her own efforts, she had absorbed the Nine Hundred Years soul ring without any mishap.

Remembering that she still had two companions, Rou Shui began searching for them.

Before long, she saw two people sitting ahead.

Her beautiful eyes curved into a smile as she quickly walked toward them.

Qian Ye was delighted that Rou Shui had finished absorbing it and gave her a big thumbs-up.

While Qian Renxue chatted with Rou Shui, Qian Ye cleaned the Crimson Gold Carp, built a fire, and roasted it.

Before long, the fish was done.

The three of them immediately dug in and devoured the whole grilled fish.

After resting for a while.

Qian Ye looked at the two of them, his gaze finally settling on Qian Renxue. "Xiao Xue, why don't you and Rou Shui head back first?"

"Why?" Qian Renxue asked.

Rou Shui looked at him too, equally confused.

Qian Ye waved his hands, telling them not to rush. "Xiao Xue, it's like this. I still have something to take care of."

"What is it?" Qian Renxue asked seriously.

"Just a small matter." Qian Ye could not explain it too clearly.

If he told her everything, Qian Renxue would not agree.

Qian Renxue fell silent. After a while, she said, "Brother Qian Ye, then be careful."

"I will," Qian Ye replied.

It was clear that Qian Renxue believed in him.

Mm~

Qian Renxue said nothing more. She turned and headed toward the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Goodbye, Brother Ye!" Rou Shui waved, then hurried after Qian Renxue and left with her.

Qian Ye watched the two beautiful figures depart and sighed.

Then he turned and headed deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Before long, his figure vanished into the woods.

Half a month later.

Qian Ye gradually reached the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The trees here were all towering giants. Trees dozens or even hundreds of meters tall could be seen everywhere.

As Qian Ye walked through the forest, the soul beasts here were relatively larger than those at the forest's outskirts and in its mid-region.
