Starting to Bluff at Six, Even Teacher and Grandpa Were Bluffed Limp!

She Xian said, "Medusa Queen, please show yourself as well."

Silence lingered for several breaths.

A flash of violet light, and Medusa Queen appeared out of thin air.

Her purple hair cascaded like a waterfall, her phoenix eyes proud, her arms crossed over her chest.

A sheer purple dress wrapped around her striking curves.

Her snake tail hung lazily upon the floor, its tip tapping the ground impatiently.

The words "utterly displeased" seemed written all over her.

She Xian got straight to the point. "You both know our current situation. The three of us are bound together now. We prosper together and suffer together."

Medusa snorted. "I am the dignified Queen of the snake people, yet I have to reside inside the body of a six-year-old human brat. What an enormous humiliation!"

Her phoenix eyes swept over She Xian, filled with reluctance.

"Just thinking about it feels humiliating."

Little White obediently raised her hand. "Husband, is there anything you need me to do? I'm willing to do anything."

She Xian looked at Little White's devoted expression, then at Medusa's disdainful face, and went straight to the matter at hand.

"I need to grow stronger. Do either of you have cultivation techniques? Combat skills? Any methods of cultivation? Anything will do."

Little White tilted her head, a trace of confusion flashing through her almond-shaped eyes.

"Husband, my memories are very vague."

"I only remember that Husband is my husband. As for everything else..."

She bit her lower lip, her face full of guilt.

"I can't remember."

"Memory loss?"

Somewhat helpless, She Xian turned to Medusa.

Medusa Queen was blunt. "The snake people cultivate through bloodline talents. We have no cultivation techniques and no combat skills."

She Xian fell silent.

Thinking about it, that really was true.

Medusa Queen's snake people were essentially a type of special magical beast. They fought using their physical bodies and innate abilities, never combat skills.

He slowly looked between the two of them, the corner of his mouth twitching.

He possessed two world-class martial souls.

One was a thousand-year snake demon, and the other was the Queen of the snake people.

Yet they could not even scrape together a beginner-level cultivation technique?

The after-sales service for this golden finger was far too shabby, wasn't it?

Just as the atmosphere gradually stiffened, Medusa Queen suddenly frowned.

She closed her eyes. Her purple snake tail tightened slightly, and subtle fluctuations stirred around her.

She Xian immediately sensed that something was wrong. "What is it?"

Medusa did not answer.

Her phoenix eyes snapped open, a gleam flashing through her golden vertical pupils.

"My storage ring..."

Her voice carried a rare trace of emotion.

"It is in this world."

"!"

She Xian's pupils constricted sharply.

"And..."

Medusa turned her head, her gaze seeming to pierce through the wall toward a certain direction.

"I can sense that it isn't far from here."

She Xian abruptly sat upright.

Medusa Queen's storage ring!

That was the entire fortune of the Queen of the snake people from the Tagore Desert!

Any resource from the Dou Qi Continent, taken out at random, would be enough to let him leap straight from the starting line to halfway up the mountain!

Bai Suzhen looked at She Xian's suddenly bright eyes, then at Medusa's unusually serious expression, and lightly clapped her hands.

"It sounds like something good. Doesn't that mean heaven is helping Husband?"

Medusa shot her a sidelong glance. "Heaven is helping me."

"What belongs to Elder Sister belongs to Husband."

"Shut up!"

The next morning.

Crown Prince's Residence.

When She Xian jogged all the way over to find Qian Renxue, the young mistress of Spirit Hall was reviewing memorials under the identity of "Xue Qinghe."

Her slender fingers held a vermilion brush, and her handsome face was calm as still water.

Her acting was really good.

She Xian sincerely gave her a thumbs-up in his heart.

"Teacher."

She Xian stopped before her and respectfully bowed.

Qian Renxue set down her brush and glanced at him.

Even beneath Xue Qinghe's disguised face, those golden eyes remained unchanged.

Cold, scrutinizing, carrying the natural condescension of one in power.

"Xian'er, you came at the right time."

"Today, I'll take you to obtain your first soul ring."

A soul master with innately full soul power did not need any additional cultivation before directly absorbing their first soul ring.

The earlier one obtained it, the firmer the foundation would be, allowing them to gain a head start over others.

Yet She Xian shook his head.

"Teacher, I have something to report."

His expression was extremely serious—so serious that even he nearly believed it himself.

"Last night, while meditating, I sensed that my martial soul seemed to be missing something."

Qian Renxue frowned slightly.

"Missing?"

"Yes."

She Xian nodded, his little face taut and solemn.

"I cannot explain what it is, but I can clearly sense that my martial soul is incomplete."

"Before I recover that thing, I'm worried that rashly absorbing a soul ring may bring hidden dangers."

Qian Renxue put down the memorial in her hand and leaned forward slightly.

A martial soul could be incomplete?

She had never heard of such a thing.

A martial soul was complete the moment it awakened. That was the most basic common sense on the Douluo Continent.

At most, it could mutate.

But the child before her did not look like he was lying.

His gaze met Qian Renxue's steadily, open and honest enough to reveal no flaw.

Qian Renxue stared at him for a moment. "What is your martial soul missing?"

"This disciple does not know."

She Xian answered crisply. "But I can sense that it is not far from Heaven Dou City."

A trace of interest flashed through Qian Renxue's golden eyes.

Interesting.

She rose and summoned She Long.

The Serpent Spear Douluo hurried over upon hearing the news.

After listening to Qian Renxue's account, his aged face immediately twisted into a knot.

"Xian'er!"

She Long blew out his beard and glared. "What nonsense are you saying before the Young Mistress? How could a martial soul possibly be missing something?"

She Xian blinked, looking utterly innocent.

"Grandpa, I'm telling the truth."

"This is a sensation coming from my martial soul. I'm confused about it too."

Patting his chest, he said firmly, "I would never dare deceive Teacher and Grandpa about something like this."

She Long choked on his words.

His grandson's eyes were clear enough to serve as mirrors, and She Long could not find the slightest trace of guilt in them.

Yet he did not dare state outright that it was impossible. What if it really was true?

Twin martial souls were already an exceedingly rare phenomenon.

Who knew whether there might be some special circumstance?

Caught between a rock and a hard place, She Long could only turn his gaze to Qian Renxue.

The meaning was obvious: Young Mistress, you decide.

Qian Renxue gazed at She Xian, her fingertip rhythmically tapping the table three times.

This child had revealed his twin martial souls yesterday, and today he claimed that one of them was incomplete.

If an ordinary person had said such a thing, she would have turned around and left.

But She Xian was not ordinary.

Innately full soul power, twin martial souls, and a temperament far beyond his peers at only six years old.

What such a genius said was worth making a trip to verify.

Besides, she also wanted to know exactly what this so-called "missing object of the martial soul" was.

"Let's go."

Qian Renxue stood, her tone calm. "Xian'er, lead the way."

She Xian secretly rejoiced, though nothing showed on his face.

Only he knew that all of this was merely an excuse he had carefully fabricated for Medusa Queen's storage ring.

"Brat, you're quite good at spouting lies."

Medusa Queen's icy voice sounded in the depths of his mind at just the right moment.

She Xian smiled faintly. This is called all's fair in war, Your Majesty.

"Husband is amazing," Little White's voice followed, gentle and sincere.

Medusa Queen spoke with disdain. "...Disgusting."
