The Star's Disaster

Qian Renxue woke up in the hotel and, upon learning that she had become famous throughout the Heaven Dou Empire, began jumping around in excitement.

"Yes!"

Watching the excited Qian Renxue, Pufferfish Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo sighed helplessly.

They couldn't fathom what she was so happy about.

Her terrifying soul ring configuration had already caused an uproar across the entire Douluo Continent; surely, some people would take risks to try and extract her methods.

Traveling in the future would likely become even more dangerous.

"Young Master, please calm down. You might already be targeted by many people."

Qian Renxue curled her lips dismissively at these words.

"Don't I still have you, Uncle Pufferfish and Uncle Snake Spear? They have the heart to steal but lack the guts. Hurry up and pack; I still have to go to the Great Spirit Fighting Arena!"

Chen Qi sat to the side, silently sipping tea, and glanced at Qian Renxue.

"Master, I suggest you stop the spirit fighting and go elsewhere to gain experience."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue was displeased. She was currently riding high on her success; how could she possibly just give up?

"Chen Qi, I think you're just jealous of me!"

Jealous?

Chen Qi was the one who had actually fought those battles, wasn't he? It was one thing for the honor not to be attributed to him, but to be accused of jealousy on top of that?

Chen Qi understood that Qian Renxue had become completely carried away. Perhaps letting her get humbled at the Great Spirit Fighting Arena wouldn't be a bad thing.

It might even help her grow.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

At the Great Spirit Fighting Arena, Qian Renxue defeated one opponent after another with overwhelming force. By the end, even Soul Ancestor-level opponents didn't dare to show up.

Left with no choice, Qian Renxue challenged Soul Sects, but they couldn't last more than a few rounds before being knocked off the stage by her.

In just one week, Qian Renxue secured a Gold Badge, becoming the youngest Gold Badge holder in the history of the Great Spirit Fighting Arena.

On the stage, Chen Qi sat to the side, watching her defeat yet another opponent. He had become completely numb; even his social anxiety had been washed away. Now, being stared at by so many people didn't even make him blush or skip a beat.

Chen Qi had wanted her to learn the consequences of pride, but instead of facing any, she had only become more conceited.

Now, Qian Renxue's fans could stretch from Spirit Hall all the way to Heaven Dou City; she was already the biggest star on the Douluo Continent.

"Chen Qi, I feel so bored. None of these opponents have any real strength. It would be better to just stay in the hotel and read novels."

Chen Qi: ...

In the Heaven Dou City palace, Emperor Xue Ye nodded after hearing his subordinate report the day's news.

"Hmm, it seems my empire is very peaceful. By the way, where is that young girl named Qian Xue now?"

"Your Majesty, she is currently staying in a presidential suite at a hotel in Heaven Dou City."

Hearing this, Xue Ye frowned. That presidential suite was reserved for the royal family; how could an outsider be allowed to stay there?

However, thinking of her impressive strength and potential value, he suppressed his anger for the time being.

"Pass down the order: I wish to invite Qian Xue to the palace as a guest."

"As you command!"

On the streets of Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue was surrounded by an endless sea of people, struggling to move forward.

Pufferfish Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo guarded her tightly, terrified that she might be snatched away by a stranger if they weren't careful.

Looking at the endless stream of fans surrounding her, Qian Renxue felt a sense of panic.

She wanted fame, but she didn't want to be hunted by fans. If she had known it would be like this, she shouldn't have participated in any spirit fighting. Wouldn't it have been better to just travel the continent?

"Wuu wuu, Chen Qi, what should I do? I feel like I'm going to be swallowed alive by this crowd!"

Chen Qi, whose face was being squashed by the massive crowd, felt speechless at her words.

Now you're scared? Why weren't you scared before?

"So, are you still coming to the Great Spirit Fighting Arena in the future?"

"I'm not going! I'm not going! Even if you beat me to death, I won't go!"

Seeing that Qian Renxue was truly frightened, Chen Qi nodded. He raised his hands and pushed the people around him away; he had been squeezed for so long that he couldn't stand it anymore.

Now that Qian Renxue was pleading with him, it was the perfect time to leave.

Huge angel wings appeared behind him. Chen Qi grabbed Qian Renxue's hand, and with a gentle flap of his wings, he actually lifted her into the air, gradually moving further away.

Below, the fans could only watch helplessly as Qian Renxue drifted further and further away.

"Damn it! Baby Qian Xue got away again!"

"This spirit is really too inconsiderate! Can't it see there are so many of us here!"

Snake Spear Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo finally breathed a sigh of relief at the sight; escorting Qian Renxue was harder than challenging Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

Inside the hotel, Qian Renxue sealed the door and blocked all the floor-to-ceiling windows, ensuring no one could discover her tracks.

"Chen Qi, let's wait until it gets dark and leave Heaven Dou City under the cover of moonlight. It's just too dangerous!"

"Pardon my bluntness, but with your current level of fame, even if you leave the Heaven Dou Empire, there will still be people who can find you."

Chen Qi had seen just how ridiculous celebrity obsession was back on Blue Star; even if one ran to the ends of the earth, a group of loyal fans would still follow closely behind.

Qian Renxue was now completely desperate. If she could do it all over again, she would have loved to strangle her past self from a few days ago.

"Chen Qi, what should I do then?"

"How would I know what to do? This is a mess you stirred up yourself, so you have to solve it yourself."

It was finally time for Qian Renxue to learn a lesson. If he told her what to do today, she wouldn't change tomorrow and would continue to act as she pleased.

"Chen Qi, I beg you, please help me?"

"No, you have to solve this yourself."

"I'm begging you."

"No."

Knock, knock, knock!

The hotel door was rapped, and Qian Renxue immediately retreated a few steps, terrified that those fans had tracked her down.

"Ah! Help me!"

Seeing Qian Renxue so frightened, Chen Qi smiled, knowing his chance for revenge had arrived.

She usually relied on her status to steal his spotlight, so today, he would get it all back.

Chen Qi grabbed Qian Renxue by the neck and hoisted her up like a kitten.

"Ah! Chen Qi, what are you doing!"

"Open the door. I have to stay within three meters of you, otherwise, I can't open the door."

Chen Qi gave a wicked grin and opened the door amidst Qian Renxue's cries.

"Um, what are you two doing?"

Outside the door, Sword Douluo Chen Xin stared blankly at the scene, thinking to himself, Do young people these days really play like this?

It has a certain flair reminiscent of my own youth.

Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw who it was; as long as it wasn't a fan, it was fine.

"Chen Qi, put me down right now!"

Qian Renxue landed on the ground, straightened her clothes, glared at Chen Qi, and looked at Chen Xin.

"What are you here for?"

"Didn't you ask me to come and apologize to Pufferfish Douluo?"

Only then did Qian Renxue remember. Pufferfish Douluo had been injured by Sword Douluo previously, and she had even made a trip to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for that, using her own brilliant wisdom to run Ning Fengzhi in circles.

"So that's it. Uncle Pufferfish isn't here right now, so you'll have to wait a while."

Sword Douluo nodded. He had struggled with himself for a long time before deciding to come here, so a minute or two didn't matter. Everything was for the sake of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Knock, knock, knock!

The door was knocked on again, and Qian Renxue looked up and said.

"It must be Uncle Pufferfish and the others returning."

This time, Qian Renxue wasn't afraid. She rushed over first and opened the door without a second thought.

A short old man stood outside the door. He squinted his eyes when he saw Qian Renxue and said.

"Hello there, superstar Qian Xue."
