Douluo: I'm Done Pretending, Qian Renxue Is My Wife

Qian Daoliu was no longer angry. "Xiao Ye, there is only one Transformation Soul Bone, and Xiao Xue has already absorbed it. So only Xiao Xue can go. There is no other choice."

"Grandpa Qian knows that everything you've done was for Xiao Xue's sake, but the circumstances won't allow it. Grandpa has no other way."

I was waiting for you to say that!

Qian Ye rolled his neck. "Grandpa Qian, if I can transform, can I go in Xiao Xue's place?"

"Of course you can, but that's impossible for you, isn't it?" Qian Daoliu spread his hands and smiled.

Naturally, he could not let Qian Ye absorb the Angel Inheritance Soul Bone. Without a soul bone, he could not transform.

In any case, he did not know that Qian Ye had other methods.

"Grandpa Qian, Grandpa Golden Crocodile!"

Qian Ye looked at the two of them and smiled faintly. "Perhaps you still don't know that I don't have Twin Martial Souls. I have Three Lives Martial Soul."

"What Martial Soul?" Golden Crocodile Douluo seemed not to have heard clearly.

But Qian Daoliu had heard every word. "Xiao Ye, this is not something you can joke about."

Facts spoke louder than words. There was no use saying more; he might as well prove it with facts!

Buzz~

Suddenly, Soul Power surged from Qian Ye's body, and a huge Martial Soul appeared behind him.

Its entire body shimmered with golden light. Apart from its eyes, which were like a bright moon hanging in the sky, even its hair and eyelashes were golden.

Behind it spread twenty-four enormous golden wings.

The moment it appeared, it illuminated the entire Elder Hall council chamber.

"This..." At last, Qian Daoliu could no longer remain seated.

"Great Enshrined Elder, is this the Twenty-Four Winged Angel Martial Soul?" Golden Crocodile Douluo asked in shock.

Qian Daoliu was speechless for a long while. Xiao Ye... he truly had Three Lives Martial Soul, and one of them was the Twenty-Four Winged Angel Martial Soul!

"Xiao Ye, you're quite something. You even fooled your Grandpa Qian and Grandpa Golden Crocodile!"

"Grandpa Qian, don't blame me. I had no choice. I'm the only person on Douluo Continent with Three Lives Martial Soul. People fear fame as pigs fear growing fat. For the sake of my life, I had to hide it."

"If it weren't for Xiao Xue, I wouldn't have revealed it." Qian Ye spoke honestly.

Even if Qian Daoliu turned against him, it would not matter much.

Xiao Ye's talent had truly exceeded his imagination!

He possessed the Twenty-Four Winged Angel Martial Soul, which was even stronger than his own Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul!

If he and Xiao Xue came together, their descendants would surely be even more powerful.

At that point, even Tang Chen and Bo Saixi out at sea would no longer be a match for our Angel Martial Soul.

When that time came, the Angel Martial Soul passed down through the Qian family would be invincible beneath the heavens!

"Wah... hahaha!"

Qian Daoliu finally could not hold it in any longer and burst into loud laughter, completely forgetting that two others were watching him.

He had lost his composure!

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Qian Daoliu, not knowing what to say. It had been many years since he had seen him laugh so heartily.

"Wah... hahaha!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo finally could not hold back either and burst into loud laughter.

Uh~

Two old fools?

Qian Ye was too powerless to complain. He had summoned such an impressive Twenty-Four Winged Eternal Angel Martial Soul, yet these two old monsters were actually laughing.

"I say... Old Qian... no... Old Golden... no, I should call you Grandpa Qian and Grandpa Golden Crocodile. Now that you've seen it, I have Three Lives Martial Soul. Is that enough?"

What he did not know was that Qian Daoliu was thinking about something else entirely.

Suddenly, Qian Daoliu turned his gaze toward Golden Crocodile Douluo. "Old Golden, what do you think?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo did not answer immediately. In his view, it was not impossible for Qian Ye to go in Xiao Xue's place.

"Great Enshrined Elder, I think the issue isn't who goes. The key is who can become Xue Qinghe and also disguise the Xue family's Four-winged Swan Martial Soul."

Qian Daoliu thought the same. "Xiao Ye, you heard him. Your Grandpa Golden Crocodile and I both agree to let you replace Xiao Xue and disguise yourself as Xue Qinghe to act as an undercover agent."

"But your Grandpa Qian only has one Transformation Soul Bone, and Xiao Xue has already absorbed it. There are no more. Without that soul bone, you cannot disguise yourself as Xue Qinghe. Even if you have Three Lives Martial Soul, you still cannot go!"

"So, Xiao Ye, Xiao Xue really has to be the one to go."

"Grandpa Qian, Grandpa Golden Crocodile, you only know one side of the matter, not the other."

Qian Ye felt that it was time to brag. "Actually, when I went to the Star Dou Great Forest this time, I was very lucky. I killed a ten-thousand-year soul beast, and it produced a soul bone."

"I absorbed it, only to discover that it was an External Soul Bone capable of changing one's appearance and disguising one's Martial Soul."

"If you don't believe me, I'll transform and show you right now!"

Could it be true?

Qian Daoliu found it hard to believe.

Golden Crocodile Douluo said, "Great Enshrined Elder, if that is the case, it could not be better."

Qian Daoliu had been hoping for exactly that. "In that case, transform and let us see."

Qian Ye considered whose appearance he should take on.

After thinking for a while, he decided to become Golden Crocodile Douluo.

After all, transforming into Qian Daoliu or Qian Renxue would be somewhat inappropriate.

Qian Ye muttered under his breath. Suddenly, light flashed around him, and he transformed into someone else.

"Is that me?" Golden Crocodile Douluo wore an expression of utter disbelief.

He had not expected Qian Ye to truly be able to transform, and even into his appearance.

"Great Enshrined Elder, does Xiao Ye look like me?"

Qian Daoliu was completely stunned. This Xiao Ye really could transform.

He immediately compared Golden Crocodile Douluo with Qian Ye's current appearance again and again. In the end, he could not tell which was the real Golden Crocodile Douluo and which was the fake one.

"Yes, Old Golden, perfect. It's simply perfect!"

"Really?"

"Yes, you look exactly the same!"

"Wonderful, Xiao Ye. With you going, your Grandpa Qian and I can rest easy."

"Indeed!"

At that moment, Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo were both beaming.

Qian Ye nodded. He had finally secured this matter. From now on, Xiao Xue would no longer have to disguise herself as a man and pretend to be Xue Qinghe.

Qian Renxue had kept up that disguise for twenty years. It really had not been easy for Xiao Xue.

Fortunately, with him stepping in this time, she would no longer have to keep pretending. She could live normally as a woman. That was good.

Setting Out

After leaving the Elder Hall, Qian Ye felt completely at ease.

With this matter settled, Qian Renxue would no longer have to suffer by disguising herself as a man.

"Brother Ye, where did you go? I've been looking everywhere for you. I finally found you!"

Just as Qian Ye reached the academy entrance, Rou Shui hurried over. She looked very anxious.

"What is it, Rou Shui?"

He thought something had happened to her.

Rou Shui smiled sweetly and leaned against him as they walked toward the square. "Brother Ye, it's about that wolf-clearing mission, going to Bai Ka Mountain to eliminate the wolf bandits there."

So that was it!

Qian Ye walked over to a bench and sat down, waiting for Rou Shui to settle herself. "Didn't you say we were leaving tomorrow morning?"

"We were supposed to leave tomorrow morning, but the mission captain just notified us that the mission has been moved up. We're leaving at seven tonight."

"This..." Qian Ye had not expected the mission to be brought forward.

If he did not go, he would be breaking his promise. The important thing was Rou Shui. He could turn down anyone else, but she was a good friend. Since he had agreed, he had to take responsibility.

Rou Shui could see what he was thinking. They had sat at the same desk for five years, so no matter what, she understood him to some extent.

"Brother Ye, the squad leader for this mission just notified me too. There was nothing I could do!"

"Alright, Rou Shui. Then that's that."

Things had already turned out this way, so there was nothing more for him to say.

It came down to one thing: go or not go.

He chose to go.

"Thank you, Brother Ye!" Rou Shui jumped up happily. She had been afraid he would say he was not going.

A weight in her heart was finally lifted.

Seeing that it was still early, Qian Ye planned to visit Qian Renxue before leaving. He happened to have some things to tell her.

When he arrived at Qian Renxue's dormitory, he did not find her.

Qian Ye could only search around the academy dormitories, the training ground, and the Small Forest behind them. At last, he found her lying on the grass beneath a large tree.

Qian Renxue lay there with her eyes closed, completely still.

Qian Ye said nothing. He plopped down beside her and lay next to her.

Although Qian Renxue did not open her eyes, she heard his footsteps and smelled his scent, so she knew who had come.

Qian Ye lay quietly beside her without speaking immediately.

He did not want to disturb her.

The two of them lay there quietly for a while, neither one speaking first.

After a while, Qian Renxue finally opened her eyes and parted her lips. "Brother Qian Ye, do you like Xiao Xue?"

"Of course I do," Qian Ye answered without hesitation.

There was no need to think about it.

He simply liked her.

"Then Xiao Xue can rest easy." Qian Renxue let out a breath and smiled brilliantly beneath the sunlight.

Qian Ye thought that days like this probably would not last much longer.

Once the mission was issued, she would leave Spirit City and go to Heaven Dou City as an undercover agent.

At that time, it would be a different environment, another identity, and another way of life.

"Why did you suddenly ask that?"

"Because I like you."

"That's good too."

Qian Ye placed a hand on Qian Renxue's forehead. "Xiao Xue, I may have to leave for a few days. I'm going to Bai Ka Mountain for a mission. I wanted to let you know, so don't worry about me. Just wait for me to return."

In fact, she had already learned about it from Rou Shui.

Qian Renxue naturally would not hold him back. "Brother Qian Ye, those wolf bandits are powerful and cruel. You must all be careful. I only want you to return safely."
