Douluo: No More Pretending, My Wife Is Qian Renxue

Nana really knew how to cling to a powerful thigh!

Looking at the delicate Hu Liena, Qian Ye gave her a light knock on the head. "Nana, look at you. How did you get so thin after just a few days apart?"

Upon hearing that, Hu Liena looked utterly aggrieved. "Brother Ye, you haven't come to see Nana for over a month, okay? I already finished all the snacks you gave me last time. How could I not lose weight?!"

Oh~

Qian Ye did the math. It really had been more than a month since he had come to see her. "Mm, to make it up to you, I'll take you shopping for delicious food today."

Mm-hmm~

Hu Liena nodded her little head and smiled shyly.

Qian Ye said nothing more. Taking Hu Liena's little hand, he led her out of the academy...

Once they reached the market, the two began strolling around.

Whenever Hu Liena saw something tasty, she would tug Qian Ye along and want a bite. Qian Ye satisfied every one of her requests.

On the way back, Qian Ye picked out a large bag of candies and other snacks for her to slowly eat whenever she craved them.

"Qian Ye, His Holiness is looking for you!"

The moment Qian Ye stepped out of the training camp, someone blocked his path.

Qian Ye glanced at the newcomer. It was none other than Yue Guan. He smiled. "I wonder why Teacher Bibi is looking for me. Has she missed me after not seeing me for so many days?"

"Have you no shame? Have you no shame? You even dare joke about His Holiness the Pope. Are you tired of living?" Yue Guan snapped.

After a few good days, he had forgotten who he was.

If Qian Ye's identity had not been so special, and Yue Guan had not feared making a move against him, he would have already gone over and beaten him senseless several times.

Qian Ye remained calm. "Is that so? Do you dare hit me?"

"You..."

Yue Guan was so furious that he was speechless. To be honest, he truly did not dare hit him!

After all, Qian Ye had Qian Daoliu and the Elder Hall behind him.

If Yue Guan dared touch him, he would be making an enemy of the Elder Hall—effectively opposing Spirit Hall itself.

Furthermore, Spirit Hall's Pope, Bibi Dong, doted on Qian Ye immensely. Bibi Dong was Yue Guan's direct superior. Touching Qian Ye would be tantamount to disregarding Her Holiness the Pope.

Yue Guan would rather slap himself twice than dare speak crudely to Qian Ye.

And then there was Qian Ye's relationship with Qian Renxue, something Yue Guan could never compare to.

With all these connections, Yue Guan was already too late to flatter Qian Ye. How could he dare lay a hand on him?

At most, he could only gain a little advantage with his words.

Besides, Qian Ye's own strength meant he no longer feared Yue Guan either.

Inside the Pope's Palace's council chamber.

Bibi Dong sat on the grand chair atop the steps, one leg crossed over the other.

Her gorgeous, enchanting figure was enough to make any man's heart stir.

Qian Ye stood there, staring dumbfounded.

"Presumptuous!" Seeing where his gaze had landed, Bibi Dong angrily slammed her scepter against the ground and shouted.

~

Qian Ye came back to his senses and calmly withdrew his gaze, pretending not to understand what was happening.

Then he looked at Bibi Dong's magnificent, noble face. "Teacher Bibi, could you be a little gentler?"

Ghost Demon and Yue Guan, standing to one side, both wished they could kill him with their eyes.

It was bad enough that he had been peeping at Her Holiness the Pope, but he did it so righteously, without even blushing. That skin of his was truly the thickest in the world!

Ghost Demon grumbled inwardly.

Yue Guan gave a wicked smile, snorted, and rolled his eyes.

"What, you are dissatisfied with me?" Bibi Dong questioned coldly.

She fully displayed the bearing of an Empress.

Qian Ye could not help laughing. "No, Your Holiness. I was just thinking that I had barely returned, yet you immediately sent Elder Yue to summon me. Did you miss me so much that you had to do this?"

"Fighting is affection, scolding is love. Don't bother explaining. No matter what, you cannot change the fact that you missed me."

Little brat!

He really dared say anything, without regard for the occasion.

Bibi Dong's pretty face suddenly flushed. She glanced at Ghost Demon and Yue Guan, thought for a moment, then abruptly grew furious.

In all of Spirit Hall, aside from Qian Daoliu, no one dared speak to her like that.

Only this little brat had no idea of the immensity of heaven and earth!

Did he really think that with Qian Daoliu and her backing him, she would not dare kill him?

If he truly angered her, she would take his life!

Hmph~

Bibi Dong reluctantly said, "Little Ye, I only wanted to ask how many Soul Rings you absorbed during this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest. And how many levels did you gain?"

Her voice suddenly became gentle and considerate.

Qian Ye found it quite pleasing. "Of course it was two. How many could there be? I have two Martial Souls, so each absorbed one ring!"

"As for my Soul Power, it has reached level sixty-six. In other words, I gained six levels."

"Six levels!"

Bibi Dong, Ghost Demon, and Yue Guan were all stunned at once.

"A genius truly is a genius. You went out once and gained six levels! If you are so impressive, why don't you fly into the sky?" Yue Guan said with a face full of jealousy.

"It seems this child will surely surpass you and me one day!" Ghost Demon sighed, feeling inferior.

Bibi Dong's shock turned into delight, enough to show that her affection for Qian Ye was not a passing whim, but something that had deepened over time.

Since you are so outstanding, I will take you in!

"Little Ye, from today onward, you are Spirit Hall's Holy Son and the personal disciple of Bibi Dong."

"No, no, no!" Qian Ye shook his head. "Teacher Bibi, whether I am the Holy Son or not does not matter. As for becoming a disciple, forget it. I will not take anyone as my master."

What a joke. With his own strength, why would he need to take a master!

"Do you look down on my strength?" As the dignified Pope of Spirit Hall, how could Bibi Dong not be angry after being rejected as a master?

She could not save face at all.

Academy Wolf Extermination Mission

Hmph~

When Yue Guan and Ghost Demon saw him refuse to become Bibi Dong's disciple, they both wanted to rush forward and slap him.

Countless students at Spirit Hall Academy wanted to take Bibi Dong as their master, yet none could catch her eye.

But Qian Ye? Bibi Dong had personally offered to accept him as her disciple, yet he rejected her right to her face.

He gave Her Holiness the Pope no face whatsoever. They truly did not know what he was thinking.

In truth, all three of them had misunderstood Qian Ye. If they had an outrageously powerful cheat like his, they would not be willing to take anyone as their master either.

After all, his future heights were not something the people before him could even look up to, much less offer him.

Naturally, Qian Ye would not become Bibi Dong's disciple. There was no need to make things more complicated. "Teacher Bibi, if you truly want to take in a disciple, I do have someone who fits your requirements."

"Her name is Hu Liena. She is currently in the training camp. Given her parents' status, I do not think her talent will be poor once she awakens."

"As long as Your Holiness takes her in, becoming a disciple or a Holy Maiden would be just a matter of your word."

Bibi Dong knew of Hu Liena. After all, she knew Hu Liena's parents as well.

After hearing this, Bibi Dong fell silent. "Little Ye, I am accepting you, not Hu Liena. Stop trying to change the subject!"

"I will ask you one last time. Will you agree to take me as your master, or not?"

"Before you answer, you had better think carefully. This chance will not come again, understand?"

"I won't!" Qian Ye answered without hesitation.

Bibi Dong's face instantly turned purple. "Fine, Little Ye. You have guts. Just wait for me. You rejected me, so bear the consequences yourself!"

Qian Ye smiled bitterly. "..."

"I'll give you one more chance. It is not too late to regret it now!" Bibi Dong gave him another opportunity.

"Dong'er, I'm leaving first!" Qian Ye tossed out those words and turned to leave.

He was truly afraid Bibi Dong would keep pestering him, resorting to both threats and inducements.

"You little bastard, just you wait! I refuse to believe I can't conquer you!" Bibi Dong flew into a rage, releasing all her Soul Power. The entire Pope's Palace trembled without end.

~

Qian Ye sighed and flicked his sleeve as he left.

If he could not provoke her, he could at least avoid her!

He was not worried at all about what Bibi Dong could do to him.

Afterward, Qian Ye arrived at a secluded Small Forest behind Spirit Hall Academy, intending to absorb the second Soul Ring of his Twenty-Four Winged Eternal Angel Martial Soul.

This was the system's reward: a second Million-Year Soul Ring. After absorbing it, he estimated that he could reach around level seventy.

Seeing that no one was around, Qian Ye immediately took out the Million-Year Soul Ring from his system space. Then he called White Dragon out from his spiritual space to stand guard.

Only then did he sit before the Million-Year Soul Ring and begin meditating to absorb it...

An hour later, Qian Ye opened his eyes energetically. Success!

The second Soul Ring of his Twenty-Four Winged Eternal Angel Martial Soul had finally been fully absorbed, and it had taken only two hours.

Host: Qian Ye!

Gender: Male!

Age: 11!

Constitution: 70 (Abnormal: 100)!

Number of Martial Souls: 3!

Food Martial Soul: Carrot (Awakened, Soul Rings +6, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black)!

Weapon Martial Soul: Nunchucks (Awakened, Soul Rings +6, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black)!

God-Level Martial Soul: Twenty-Four Winged Eternal Angel Martial Soul (Awakened, Soul Rings +2, Crimson Gold, Crimson Gold)!

Soul Bones: None!

Soul Power Level: 70 (Half-Step Soul Saint)!

Qian Ye looked over his attribute panel and nearly burst into wild laughter.

"A Million-Year Soul Ring truly is a Million-Year Soul Ring. After absorbing it, my cultivation jumped straight from level sixty-six to level seventy."

"Once I absorb one more Soul Ring, I'll be a Soul Saint in the seventies!"

Wahaha~

A demonic burst of laughter suddenly rang out from the Small Forest, startling the birds and beasts into scattering.

"Master, are you all right?" Seeing him laugh so demonically, White Dragon was shocked and stunned.

Only then did Qian Ye notice White Dragon beside him. Feeling rather exhilarated, he said, "I'm fine. What could possibly happen to me?"
