Twin Martial Souls: Behold My Great Serpent Demons, Qian Renxue Takes a Disciple

Having decided to go all in, She Xian took a deep breath.

He spread his arms slightly, and the soul power within him surged in two directions at once.

Boom!

On the left side of the hall, the temperature plummeted.

A massive, gleaming white serpent slowly emerged from the void.

Ice crystals spread along its body,

and wherever it passed, the air frosted over as white mist filled the space.

It coiled upward with elegant grace.

Its vertical pupils were clear and gentle, and it radiated a holy yet icy aura.

On the right side of the hall, waves of heat roiled.

A giant purple serpent emerged with furious eyes!

Flames around its body scorched the floor, and every scale gleamed with a dangerous violet light.

Its head was held high,

its vertical pupils cold and arrogant,

its bearing as domineering as a queen descending upon the world!

One ice, one fire.

One white, one purple.

The two enormous serpents loomed behind She Xian, making the six-year-old boy look small, yet somehow holding the entire hall in check.

She Xian glanced back from the corner of his eye.

Both snakes obediently remained in beast form, showing no sign of transforming into humans.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Little White and Medusa Queen were still reliable when it mattered.

However, no one else in the hall was nearly as composed.

"Twin, twin martial souls!!!"

She Long's voice cracked first.

A level ninety-two Titled Douluo who had spent half his life in battle and seen every kind of storm now stared wide-eyed, his jaw nearly hitting the white jade floor.

His grandson had twin martial souls too!

And he, the boy's grandfather, had known nothing about it?!

For a moment, She Long did not know whether to be shocked or angry first.

His expression completely fell apart.

In the corner of the hall, Ci Xue's face had become colorful enough to serve as a palette.

Green one moment, white the next.

Innately full soul power had already been absurd enough.

Now there were twin martial souls too?

Why did the heavens pile every good thing onto that old bastard She Long's grandson?

Jealous!

So jealous that his teeth ached, so jealous that his molars ground audibly.

And the most important person in the room, Qian Renxue, finally showed a ripple in her golden eyes.

Those eyes, indifferent as still water from beginning to end,

had narrowed slightly the instant the two giant serpents appeared.

She said nothing.

She merely slowly turned her gaze toward She Long.

That silent stare carried more pressure than any accusation.

She Long's knees went weak. With a thud, he fell to his knees and said anxiously yet sincerely:

"Young Master! I truly knew nothing of this!"

"Xian'er never told me that he had twin martial souls!"

He did not seem to be lying.

"..."

Qian Renxue ignored him.

Her gaze shifted back to She Xian.

Her golden phoenix eyes quietly assessed the white-haired boy before her, pressing down on him without a word.

Under that gaze, She Xian's heartbeat quickened, but his expression did not change in the slightest.

He bowed slightly and said evenly, "Reporting to Young Master, on the day of my awakening, I vaguely sensed a second martial soul within me."

"Out of instinct, I chose to hide it for the time being."

"Before Young Master today, I dared not conceal anything."

His explanation was flawless.

It reasonably explained why he had hidden it while making him appear honest.

No one could find fault with the "instinctive vigilance" of a six-year-old child.

It also conveyed his absolute candor toward Qian Renxue.

I hide it from others, but before you, I have revealed everything.

The implication could not have been clearer: I trust you.

That should be giving her enough face, right?

After hearing this, She Long was so excited that both his hands trembled.

His grandson's talent, intellect, eloquence, and temperament were all beyond reproach!

And he was only six!

Qian Renxue fell silent for a moment before the turmoil in her golden eyes finally settled.

She examined the child before her anew.

Innately full soul power, twin martial souls, and calm adaptability under pressure.

More importantly, he had chosen to reveal everything before her.

She understood the weight of this "pledge of allegiance."

Qian Renxue's gaze deepened.

Then she said, "She Xian, from today onward, you will remain at the Crown Prince's Residence."

She Long froze.

Ci Xue froze.

"I will personally teach you."

The air in the hall seemed to freeze for an instant.

She Long opened his mouth but could not close it for a long while.

The Young Master was going to take a disciple personally?

Meanwhile, fireworks had already exploded within She Xian's heart.

What did becoming Qian Renxue's disciple mean?

The highest-level backing and resources of Spirit Hall!

A direct path!

This was a direct path!

But She Xian's control over his facial muscles was practically perfect.

He decisively stepped forward, dropped to one knee, clasped his fists with both hands, and said word by word, "This disciple, She Xian, greets Master."

His voice was steady, his gaze clear, and his posture respectful without being servile.

Qian Renxue looked down at him.

He was clearly only six, yet kneeling there, he seemed far too mature for his age.

His solemn appearance formed a subtle contrast with his face, which still retained some childishness.

Qian Renxue's lips moved slightly.

A faint, almost imperceptible curve appeared on her face, which had always been cold as frost.

She smiled.

For only an instant.

Under the candlelight in the hall, her golden hair shimmered brilliantly.

Her phoenix eyes curved slightly, and a fleeting softness bloomed across her ice-like features.

She Xian was stunned.

She Long was stunned.

Even Ci Xue, who had been jealous the entire time, stopped breathing in that instant.

In only a moment,

Qian Renxue had already withdrawn her smile and returned to her noble, aloof demeanor.

But everyone knew that moment had truly existed.

She Xian rose from the floor, lowering his eyes to conceal his surging emotions.

Qian Renxue watched his retreating figure, her golden eyes narrowing slightly.

A genius with twin martial souls.

Once he became completely loyal to her, he would become the sharpest blade in her hand.

She would sharpen this blade herself.

At an angle where no one could see, the corner of She Xian's mouth lifted slightly.

Close to the center of power, devouring the richest resources, taking the fastest path.

Qian Renxue, Qian Renxue, you think you're taming a hawk.

But this hawk has skies of his own.

Night fell.

The residence arranged for She Xian at the Crown Prince's Residence was not large, but it was clean and tidy—far more refined than the old She family house.

She Xian lay in bed staring at the ceiling, his mind still reviewing every detail from the day.

Then a faint fragrance drifted over.

Before he could react, a small, cool hand pressed against his forehead.

"Not hot."

At some point, Bai Suzhen had transformed into human form. Her white dress trailed across the floor as she crouched beside the bed.

She tilted her head,

her almond eyes smiling as she examined She Xian.

Her slender jade fingers slid from his forehead to his cheek and gently pinched it.

"My husband worked hard today."

She Xian froze at the pinch, his ears turning faintly red.

"That golden-haired woman didn't make things difficult for my husband, did she?"

Bai Suzhen asked again, her tone so gentle it could drown someone in warmth.

The corner of She Xian's mouth twitched. "She's my teacher now. She probably won't make things difficult for me."

"Even so, she can't bully my husband."

Bai Suzhen looked completely serious. "No one can."

She Xian looked into those almond eyes that declared, "You are the most important person in the world," and for a moment, he did not know whether to feel touched or troubled.

A cold voice sounded in his mind at just the right time.

"Stupid snake, aren't you ashamed?"

Though Medusa Queen did not appear, her disdainful tone came through loud and clear.

Bai Suzhen was not offended in the slightest. She said softly, "What is shameful about caring for my own husband?"

"Disgusting."

"Big Sister is just being stubborn."

"Who are you calling Big Sister?!"

She Xian took a deep breath and cut off the argument that would never have a conclusion.

"Enough, you two. We need to have a serious talk."
