Heaven Dou City, the Crown Prince's Residence.

The vermilion gates were forcefully pushed open from within.

A tall figure clad in the Crown Prince's robes strode into the residence, carrying an aura so low it could freeze someone to death.

Qian Renxue, disguised as Crown Prince Snow Qinghe of Heaven Dou, had four words written all over her falsely handsome face—she was in a foul mood!

At court today, those old foxes had joined forces to trip her up again.

Every one of them hid daggers behind their smiles and needles in cotton, obstructing her at every turn.

She was still young, yet she bore the burden Spirit Hall had given her: infiltrating and seizing the Heaven Dou Empire.

Not only did she have to tread on thin ice,

she also had to spend every day playing along with those old geezers.

"A bunch of damned bastards."

Qian Renxue sat down in the main hall with a cold expression.

Footsteps sounded, and two figures emerged from the side corridor.

Snake Spear Douluo She Long, and Porcupinefish Douluo Ci Xue.

The two Titled Douluo were elders of Spirit Hall, as well as her secret guards.

Qian Renxue swept her gaze over them.

She noticed that She Long's old face seemed unable to hide a trace of delight.

Though he was holding back his smile, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were practically blooming.

She frowned. "Elder She Long, what good news is this?"

She Long froze slightly before he could answer.

"Hmph."

Ci Xue beat him to it, saying in a strange tone, "Young Mistress, this old fellow's grandson awakened his martial soul yesterday. Apparently, he has innate full soul power."

After receiving the news, his tail had practically shot into the sky.

He had strutted around showing off in front of Ci Xue no fewer than eight hundred times.

"Innate full soul power?" Qian Renxue's eyes flickered.

She Long shot Ci Xue a glare, his old face reddening slightly. He then cupped his hands and said, "Young Mistress, I only just received the news myself. The exact situation is still unclear."

Qian Renxue pondered for a moment.

Innate full soul power was a talent as rare as phoenix feathers across all of Douluo Continent.

And this child was even a descendant of one of their own.

The irritation in her heart eased somewhat, and a faint curve appeared on her lips. "Elder She Long, bring your grandson to see me."

"A child with such talent is worth nurturing properly."

Her expression carried a deeper meaning.

If he could be used by her, that would naturally be best.

She remembered that woman, Bibi Dong, had taken in a rather talented disciple named Hu Liena. This one certainly could not be handed over to her.

She Long promptly accepted the order.

The She Clan.

A white-haired youth sat cross-legged on his bed, holding a small snake in each hand, his expression exceedingly subtle.

In his left hand was a little white snake.

Its entire body was jade-white, cool to the touch, and it lay obediently curled in his palm.

It flicked out its tongue from time to time, as though acting spoiled.

In his right hand was a little purple snake.

A faint purple glow flowed over its body, and it was scorching hot. Its head was held high, and its vertical pupils held an arrogance utterly disproportionate to its size.

She Xian looked down at his left hand, then at his right. "...Tsk."

He had transmigrated here.

He had transmigrated to Douluo Continent and become the biological grandson of Snake Spear Douluo She Long.

His grandfather was a Titled Douluo and an elder of Spirit Hall, with a background solid enough to crack walnuts.

And he had even awakened twin martial souls with innate full soul power.

His grandfather She Long's martial soul was the Mutated Azure-Purple Serpent Spear, which already possessed the dual traits of both a weapon martial soul and a beast martial soul.

What he had awakened was a mutation of a mutation—twin serpent martial souls.

"This is one hell of a starting hand."

She Xian smacked his lips, unable to stop the corners of his mouth from rising.

With twin martial souls and innate full soul power, the only people in this era with a better start than him were Tang San and Qian Renxue.

The crucial thing was that he also retained the memories of his previous life and knew the entire plot's course.

"In the original story, Grandpa was Qian Renxue's guard. So does that make me... part of Spirit Hall's faction?"

She Xian rubbed his chin, his mind racing.

Qian Renxue's power was at its peak in the early stages, so he could follow her and get a share of the spoils first.

When things reached the later stages, he could assess the situation and adapt accordingly...

Just as he was about to continue planning out his grand blueprint for the future, scorching heat and icy coolness surged through his palms at the same time.

He looked down.

The two little snakes were glowing.

The white snake emitted a gentle silver radiance.

The purple snake surged with an eerie violet light.

The glow grew brighter and brighter, making the entire room flicker between light and shadow.

"Wait, what's going on—"

She Xian suddenly felt the place beneath him soften.

Soft, warm, and springy.

His viewpoint rose as well, as though something had lifted him up.

A faint fragrance drifted into his nose.

"Uh..."

She Xian froze.

He slowly raised his head, and an incomparably beautiful face entered his sight.

Snow-white skin, slender willow-leaf brows, almond-shaped phoenix eyes filled with affection, cherry lips curved slightly upward, and a delicate oval face without the slightest flaw.

Dressed in white robes whiter than snow, her long hair cascading like a waterfall, she was gentle and graceful, like a classical fairy who had stepped out of a painting.

And he was currently sitting on this peerless beauty's lap!

Her slender, fair arms were wrapped around his waist, soft as boneless silk.

The woman lowered her eyes to look at him and smiled sweetly. "After a thousand years of waiting, my husband, I've finally found you."

She Xian: ???

"B-Bai Suzhen?!" His mind buzzed.

Wait!

What the hell kind of development was this?!

She Xian instinctively leaned back, and the back of his head slammed into something soft.

The sensation was full and elastic, slightly hot, carrying a searing warmth.

He slowly turned his head.

An exquisitely beautiful face, cold and proud to the extreme, was right beside him.

Her narrow pale-violet phoenix eyes looked down at him.

There was an inborn seductive charm in her shifting gaze, yet it also carried an icy aloofness that kept others at a thousand paces.

Her lush, exquisite body was outlined by sheer purple gauze in breathtaking curves, her slender snake waist small enough to fit in one hand.

And her lower body was actually a serpent tail covered in purple scales!

Thick and long, it lay lazily coiled on the other side of the bed.

The back of She Xian's head was still pressed tightly against the soft fullness of her chest.

He could clearly feel that scorching warmth through the thin gauze, along with her powerful heartbeat.

The alluring figure lowered her head, and her pale-violet phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously. "Human."

"Move your head."

Her voice was cold as ice, carrying arrogance and killing intent etched into her bones.

Every alarm in She Xian's mind was blaring wildly.

But Bai Suzhen's arms were wrapped around his waist from the front, while Medusa Queen's chest pressed against him from behind.

In front was a tender embrace, and behind was another tender embrace.

Being caught between two peerless beauties like this was something he had not even dreamed of in his past life!

Sensing his movement, Bai Suzhen instead tightened her arms and pulled him closer into her embrace.

Her voice grew even gentler, soft enough to melt into water. "Don't be afraid, my husband. I won't hurt you."

Her soft breath brushed against his ear, carrying a faint orchid fragrance. She Xian's ears instantly turned red.

Seeing this, the queen-like serpent woman flicked her tail in displeasure. "Disgusting."

"Elder sister, that is not quite right."

Bai Suzhen smiled sweetly, utterly unafraid. "He is my husband. What is wrong with me embracing my own husband?"

"Who is your elder sister?"

"Then younger sister?"

Medusa's phoenix eyes sharpened, her killing intent nearly overflowing.

She Xian finally found his voice. "Stop! Both of you, stop!"

He took a deep breath, only to inhale a noseful of mingled fragrance and heat, making his head spin even more.

"Can either of you tell me what exactly is going on?"

Bai Suzhen tilted her head and answered earnestly, "I am Little White, Bai Suzhen. I searched for my husband for a thousand years, and today we have finally met."

"No, that's not what I'm asking..."

Medusa snorted coldly, her tail impatiently tapping the bed twice.

"I would also like to know why I have appeared in a place like this, bound together with a human and a... foolish snake."

"A foolish snake?"

Bai Suzhen's smile did not fade, but her tone gained a subtle edge.

"Isn't elder sister a snake herself?"

"I am not a snake!"

"I am Medusa Queen, leader of the serpent people of the Tagore Desert!"

Medusa Queen unleashed her full queenly aura.

The smell of gunpowder in the air instantly thickened.

She Xian looked to his left at Bai Suzhen, gentle as water and seemingly intent on kneading him into her embrace.

Then he looked to his right at Medusa Queen, cold and proud as frost, seemingly ready to stab him to death with her gaze.

In silence, he gave his transmigrated life a score—nine points for the view, zero points for comprehension.

His twin serpent martial souls had actually taken human form as serpent demons, and both were peerless beauties who had him caught between them.

She Xian had a bold thought.

But he felt that preserving his life should take priority for now.
