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

Qian Renxue came before the old man and sat down beside him.

Qian Daoliu withdrew his gaze and looked his granddaughter over. Five years apart, and she had grown up too. "Xue, it seems you've grown up as well."

Qian Renxue blushed furiously and pursed her lips. "Grandpa, Brother Qian Ye has grown up too."

"I know. Bai Tian already came by today."

"He came?" Qian Renxue did not know why he had come to see her grandfather.

~

Qian Daoliu sighed. "Xue, do you like Xiao Ye?"

"I..." Qian Renxue's face reddened. Though she liked him—liked him to death—she did not want to say so in front of her grandfather.

"If you like him, Grandpa will make the decision for you right now. Once Xiao Ye returns from his Wolf Bandit extermination mission, the two of you can get engaged."

Qian Daoliu had taken a liking to Qian Ye's Twenty-Four Winged Eternal Angel Martial Soul. He wanted his granddaughter to become engaged to him, to benefit from him and bind him to their side.

If he agreed, they would nurture him. If he refused, they would kill him.

"If you don't like him, then I'll tell him to stay away from you from now on." Qian Daoliu deliberately pressed his granddaughter, unafraid that she would not tell the truth.

Qian Renxue's face immediately went pale. Without even thinking, she said, "Grandpa, I like Brother Qian Ye. I'm willing to get engaged to him. Please don't drive Brother Qian Ye away, okay?"

Qian Daoliu shook his head. "Sure enough, once a girl grows up, she can't be kept at home."

"Grandpa, you're awful!" Qian Renxue twisted her delicate body, her face burning red as she lowered her head.

Tsk, tsk, tsk~

Even Qian Daoliu could not bear to look at that sweet, bashful appearance.

"Fine, Xue. Then it's settled."

Qian Renxue nodded. "Mm-hmm."

Several days later.

Around ten in the morning.

Puff, puff, puff~

A carriage leisurely arrived at the road junction beneath Bai Ka Mountain and came to a sluggish stop.

Whoa~

The white-browed coachman suddenly shouted, reining in the horses before roughly yelling toward the carriage, "Kids, Bai Ka Mountain is here."

Chapter 50: Tracking the Wolf Bandits

"Get out!" Qin Qianyu gave the order, jumping down first and sweeping her gaze toward Bai Ka Mountain.

"Brother Ye, we're here."

"Mm, let's get out." Qian Ye rose and stepped down from the carriage as well.

Rou Shui followed close behind.

When Qian Ye got down, he saw a towering mountain before him, deep and vast. A winding mountain road led into its depths.

It was his first time at Bai Ka Mountain. Looking around at the scenery, he found the mountains clear, the waters beautiful, birds singing, and flowers fragrant.

From time to time, he could even hear a few wolf howls.

"Form up!" Qin Qianyu suddenly shouted.

The others hurriedly crowded together and formed a neat line.

Qian Ye remained unhurried as he stood behind Qin Qianyu.

Jerk~

Qin Qianyu was already full of anger. She immediately turned around and said to him, "Brother Ye, didn't you hear the order to form up?"

"So fierce." Qian Ye shook his head before walking to the back of the formation.

Qin Qianyu thrust out her chest, leaving several male team members staring dumbly. One of them even had a nosebleed.

"Wow..."

"So huge!" The fat man made an enormous gesture with his hands.

Fu Fei was overcome with jealousy and rolled her eyes.

Wu Qi was so busy with his nosebleed that he did not even notice.

Tch~

Wang Yue stuck out her pink tongue.

"A bunch of perverts!"

Rou Shui looked at Qin Qianyu's chest, then at her own. Though hers was already large enough, it was still a little inferior to Qin Qianyu's.

Although Qian Ye had also been drawn to the captain's pair, he had more self-control than the others. He was not about to drool, at most suffering a slight nosebleed.

Seeing everyone's gazes, Qin Qianyu puffed out her chest even more, her face full of pride.

What woman did not love beauty? What woman did not enjoy the attention of the opposite sex?

Though Qin Qianyu was proud, never associated with men, and always kept others at arm's length.

As a woman with a perfect, delicate figure, she also wanted to show herself off before men. It was only natural.

"Sigh..."

Qian Ye shook his head.

Qin Qianyu's gaze swept over every team member before finally settling on Qian Ye. "Very good... very good!"

"Bai Ka Mountain is already before us, and everyone has reached the moment when we must face a life-and-death battle."

The more Qin Qianyu spoke, the more solemn her expression became. "Don't think I'm exaggerating. Wolf Bandits are extremely powerful monsters. Once battle begins, it will be a fight to the death."

This woman did have some redeeming qualities. She had a strong sense of responsibility and was indeed suited to be captain.

"There are about a hundred Wolf Bandits on Bai Ka Mountain. We only have ten people, but our strength is roughly comparable. As long as we work together, our chances of winning are high."

"But do not let your guard down or become arrogant. Once we enter the combat zone, stay vigilant and remain ready to fight at all times."

"That's all. Move out!" Qin Qianyu issued her final command.

The group immediately set off toward the mountain.

Qian Ye and Rou Shui deliberately walked behind the others so they could talk.

"Brother Ye, do you think the ten of us can defeat a hundred Wolf Bandits?"

"I think we can." Qian Ye felt it was better to keep a low profile.

Who knew whether the academy's information was accurate? If there truly were only a hundred Wolf Bandits, it would not be difficult.

If there were more than a hundred, that would be another matter.

"With those words from you, Brother Ye, I'm relieved." Rou Shui laughed.

Qin Qianyu led the team. Whenever there was the slightest disturbance, she would stop and observe.

If nothing was wrong, they would continue forward.

After walking for a while, they spotted a small village within the valley.

There were around a hundred houses, all small wooden cabins, though some were large and some small.

Huh?

Just as they were about to enter the village, Qin Qianyu suddenly stopped and blocked everyone's path.

The fat man asked, "Captain, what's wrong?"

Qin Qianyu waved her hand, telling him to be quiet. "Wait here. I'll scout ahead first."

"Be careful, Captain," the fat man said.

"Let's go together." Qian Ye stepped forward.

He felt that waiting here was not as good as taking a look around.

Qin Qianyu merely glanced back at Qian Ye without saying anything, silently agreeing.

The two of them immediately entered the village.

From far away, a thick stench of blood assailed their noses.

There were bloodstains on the ground, along the roads, and in front of and behind the houses.

Qin Qianyu's expression turned ugly at the sight, but she had experienced such things before and remained calm.

Qian Ye glanced at her. Smelling the blood and seeing the mutilated corpses on the ground, he did not feel good either.

After all, it was his first time encountering such a scene.

"Damn it, they're too vicious!" Qin Qianyu finally could not hold herself back any longer and exploded.

Qian Ye said, "Calm down. Now isn't the time to be angry. Finding them and wiping them out is how we rid the people of this menace."

After hearing his words, Qin Qianyu looked at him in a new light. "Brother Ye, go call the others over. We must find their current nest."

"At your command, big sis."

"You..." Qin Qianyu shook her head. This person really had no sense of humor.

Qian Ye immediately called the others over to join Qin Qianyu, and they followed the Wolf Bandits' trail.

There were plenty of bloodstains and human remains scattered along the road. Needless to say, they had been left behind by the Wolf Bandits after slaughtering humans.

"They just massacred a village. Now that they have food and women, they won't go far for the time being. Their nest should be nearby. They'll only leave once the food runs out." Da Jiang voiced his opinion.

The fat man cracked his neck. "The situation is clear now. We just need to find those monsters and slaughter every last one of them."

"Easier said than done. There are still a hundred Wolf Bandits. How can they be so easy to deal with?" Wu Qi's concern was not unreasonable.

"We're already here. There's no point saying that now," Long Ren said calmly.

He had gone on missions before, but he had dealt with Evil Soul Masters. This was his first time facing Wolf Bandits, so he lacked experience.

"Brother Ye... Brother Ye?" As Rou Shui walked, Qian Ye suddenly vanished from sight.

She immediately called out and looked around for him, afraid something had happened to him.

"Where did he go?" Seeing that someone was missing from the team, Qin Qianyu's expression darkened.

Long Ren, the fat man, and the others exchanged looks and shook their heads, not knowing.

"Ding! Congratulations, Master, for checking in at Bai Ka Mountain. Reward: Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring +2!"

As Qian Ye hurried along, he heard the system notification announcing his successful check-in. The rewards were so generous that the trip had not been wasted.

He had left the group earlier mainly to scout ahead and find the Wolf Bandits' nest first.

He had climbed halfway up the mountain but still had not found it.

Worried that Rou Shui and the others would be concerned, Qian Ye planned to return.

Then he suddenly thought of White Dragon. Perhaps she could help him locate the Wolf Bandits more quickly.

"White Dragon, White Dragon..."

Qian Ye had only called a few times when a flash of spiritual light appeared on his forehead. White Dragon ran out. "Master, is there anything you need White Dragon to do?"

"Yes, White Dragon. Help me see whether there are wolf-like monsters nearby, around a hundred of them."

"Okay, Master." White Dragon flew into the sky and looked around. She pouted, her little face full of displeasure.

Judging by her expression, there seemed to be something.

White Dragon immediately ran before Qian Ye and chattered, "Master, they're right ahead, but there seem to be more than a hundred of them. It looks like there are over a thousand."

A thousand!
