Heaven Dou City, its most prosperous district—Emperor Street.
An antique-style Tea House.
The Tea House did not appear large, with only three floors, but its sign bore the words "Heaven Dou," proving that it belonged to the royal family.
Chen Ping'an sensed the auras of two Titled Douluo here. They were presumably Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo.
Wherever those two appeared, Qian Renxue had to be nearby. The only possible place was this Tea House.
The Tea House did not appear large, with only three floors.
The moment Chen Ping'an stepped inside, the waiter immediately came forward. "Sir, this way, please."
But Chen Ping'an ignored him and followed the auras straight to the third floor.
As soon as he reached the third floor, someone stopped him.
As this Tea House belonged to the royal family, those permitted to enter the second floor were already nobles.
The third floor was even more extraordinary. Only members of the royal family could enter, and guards stood watch at the entrance.
However, what greeted them was an endless, overwhelming pressure.
When Chen Ping'an walked straight in.
There was only one person in the room. He appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, handsome enough, with a straight nose and a square mouth.
He wore a clean, light-blue cloth robe that gave off a refreshing impression.
Though his clothes were ordinary, he possessed a distinctive bearing.
He was clearly Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Your Excellency, you have arrived."
Xue Qinghe respectfully bowed to Chen Ping'an.
Chen Ping'an smiled faintly. "Should I call you Xue Qinghe, or Qian Renxue?"
The instant Chen Ping'an said this, the atmosphere froze. The two Titled Douluo flashed to Qian Renxue's side in an instant.
Qian Renxue smiled. "What do you mean by that, Your Excellency?"
"The heir to the Six-Winged Angel actually came to this tiny Heaven Dou Empire to become its Crown Prince. I'm quite curious—when you dress as a man, do you pee standing up or squatting down?"
Chen Ping'an looked Qian Renxue up and down.
At the same time, he asked the question that had long piqued his curiosity.
He had wondered about it when reading the original novel. Now that he had met the real person, he could finally find out.
"You lecher! Kill him!"
As the heir to the Six-Winged Angel, Qian Renxue had never suffered such humiliation. She immediately lost her composure.
At her words, Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo moved as well.
As two Titled Douluo facing such a young Titled Douluo, they were very confident.
Yet their confidence was shattered the very next second.
"This doesn't concern you. Get lost."
The moment Chen Ping'an finished speaking, an invisible pressure surged toward Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo.
That pressure alone blasted them away.
Without even the strength to resist, the two were hurled out the window and crashed heavily onto the street.
At the same time, that invisible pressure did not weaken. It continued to weigh down on them.
They lay sprawled across the street in bizarre positions, unable to move in the slightest.
"Y-you... are you a Super Douluo?"
Qian Renxue retreated two steps. The two Douluo protecting him were both Rank 92.
Yet he had suppressed them with nothing but pressure.
With such strength, he was certainly no ordinary Super Douluo.
"Who exactly are you? What do you want?"
Chen Ping'an advanced step by step, while Qian Renxue retreated step by step.
"My grandfather is a Rank 99 Peerless Douluo. If you dare touch me, my grandfather will never let you off."
With no other choice, Qian Renxue could only invoke Qian Daoliu's name.
Chen Ping'an gave a sinister chuckle. "Qian Daoliu? That dead old man? I could kill him in minutes."
Qian Renxue: "..."
She had not expected him to be so arrogant. He must have something to rely on.
"You look so much better this way."
Qian Renxue understood what Chen Ping'an meant. With no other choice, she removed her disguise.
She wore a golden palace gown, a one-piece dress that seemed woven from golden thread. It had no excessive decorative patterns, only an ancient and elegant design. Its golden high collar protected her snow-white, slender neck.
Her long golden hair was casually draped behind her, not carefully arranged, forming a sharp contrast with her neat palace attire.
She looked barely over twenty. Her skin was fairer than snow, her nose bridge straight, and her slightly narrow phoenix eyes lent a hint of majesty to her breathtakingly beautiful face.
"Mm, not bad. Just as beautiful as the rumors say. You really do take after your mother."
Chen Ping'an nodded.
As for Bibi Dong, he had seen her from the shadows back in the Star Dou Great Forest. She had been a peerless beauty as well.
The mother and daughter were simply incredible.
"Who exactly are you? How did you discover my identity?"
Qian Renxue looked at Chen Ping'an warily.
Not even a Super Douluo could see through her disguise.
Chen Ping'an looked so young. It was impossible for him to possess such terrifying strength, so how had he figured it out?
"How I found out isn't important. What matters is that you're now a lamb awaiting slaughter."
Chen Ping'an chuckled sinisterly as he forced Qian Renxue toward the window.
Qian Renxue also took the chance to glance at Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo.
The two were still sprawled messily on the ground, completely unable to move.
A great many passersby had gathered to watch, almost completely surrounding them.
"These two are so strange. Why are they striking poses here?"
"Could they have some kind of special fetish?"
"I think that's possible. Maybe they have some strange fetish, which is why they're lying on the ground striking poses in broad daylight."
"That's disgusting! What an insult to decency!"
"I don't know whether it's disgusting, but I'm going to get someone to arrest them."
"..."
The onlookers talked over one another, utterly unconcerned about them.
How could two dignified Titled Douluo ever have suffered such humiliation?
They were being watched by so many commoners and soul masters, like exhibits on display.
Though they struggled, they remained powerless and could not break through their restraints.
"Stop looking. Those two weaklings can't protect you."
Chen Ping'an casually shut the window.
"Can you release them first? Whatever you want, I'll agree to it."
Such a blow could damage the spiritual resolve of two Titled Douluo. Qian Renxue did not want to see that happen.
No matter what, they were still two Titled Douluo.
"Then put your hair up."
At those words, Qian Renxue bit her lip, and her face instantly darkened.
How could she not understand what he meant?
Though she could still call for help, before anyone arrived, her life would surely be in danger.
Qian Renxue lowered her head, bit her lip, and said with a slight sob, "Release them first."
"Fine."
After Chen Ping'an withdrew his pressure.
Once the two Titled Douluo felt the pressure vanish, one of them immediately left to summon reinforcements from the Worship Hall.
Only Snake Lance Douluo remained, intending to rescue Qian Renxue, but he discovered an invisible barrier around the area.
Inside the Tea House.
Qian Renxue gathered up her golden hair.
Then she followed Chen Ping'an to a spot with an excellent view.
