Heaven Forsaken One

She Long looked at Qian Renxue before him and said softly, "Young Mistress, this child's injuries are too severe. I'm afraid he can't be saved."

Qian Renxue looked at the child in the carriage and gently waved her hand. "Head to Heaven Dou City first. Find a Healing Soul Master to treat him."

Hearing this, She Long agreed and drove the carriage toward Heaven Dou City.

Inside the carriage, Qian Renxue looked at the child. She took out a piece of clothing from the Soul Tool on her hand, tore it into strips, and roughly bandaged him. Then, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the mud from his face.

Before Qian Renxue appeared a child with fair skin and delicate features, as though Heaven itself had meticulously carved him without leaving a single flaw.

"He's quite adorable. I just don't know how his talent is—whether he's truly the natural genius I've inferred him to be." After studying him for a long while, Qian Renxue leaned back in the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.

In Heaven Dou City, within a lavish and imposing residence, She Long placed the child on a bed. Behind him stood an old man with grizzled hair.

The old man examined the child's condition. A Tool Martial Soul resembling a scepter appeared in his hand, while three yellow and three purple soul rings shimmered around his body.

A faint glow radiated from the scepter and shone upon the child's body, causing his lighter injuries to gradually heal.

After a long while, the old man withdrew his Martial Soul and gently shook his head. "This child's injuries are too severe. Whether he can survive remains unknown. All I can do now is bandage his wounds. As for the rest, it depends on his own luck."

Hearing this, She Long glanced at the child. "Just do your best to treat him. You won't be short a single coin of your payment."

With that, She Long walked straight out, leaving the old man alone to tend to the child's injuries.

After She Long left, the old man carefully cleaned the child's wounds, applied medicinal ointment, and bandaged them. Only after finishing everything did he slowly leave the room.

Three Months later, Jun Xuehan lay on a wicker chair in the courtyard, basking in the sun with deep contemplation in his eyes.

Six years ago, he had been reborn in Douluo Continent. He had been found in the Star Dou Great Forest and brought back to Fengning Village, where he grew up. However, everyone who adopted him had died in accidents. Moreover, when he had been brought back, dark clouds had filled the sky, thunder and lightning had raged, and violent winds had howled, as if Heaven itself were furious. Thus, the villagers called him the Ominous One.

Whenever the villagers saw him, they would take a wide detour and maintain a safe distance of five meters from him.

Gradually, he became silent, because no one in the village spoke to him at all. Humans were social creatures. Once separated from the group, they became lonely and depressed.

Though he had not left the group, he had been rejected by it. Such a life was undoubtedly torment, and he was experiencing that torment now. Yet as time passed, he gradually adapted to that loneliness. In the stillness of the night, that loneliness became a kind of enjoyment, as well as a means of easing himself.

Not long ago, a child in the village had drowned in the river. By coincidence, that child had once come within five meters of him, so the villagers placed the blame on him. They believed he had brought misfortune to the village and drove him out.

They said he had been driven out, but in truth, he had walked out of the village himself. After all, no one in the village dared approach within five meters of him.

After leaving the village, he had planned to head for Heaven Dou City. However, while drinking water beside the river, he encountered a hungry wolf. After killing it, he collapsed by the river due to excessive blood loss and was rescued.

And the person who had saved him was actually Spirit Hall's Young Mistress, Qian Renxue. For a reborn person, no more than a single name was needed to infer a great deal of useful information.

Jun Xuehan pulled back his thoughts and lightly moved his body. After Three Months of recovery, although his injuries had not fully healed, they had recovered by around seventy percent. As long as he did not exert too much force with his left arm, there would not be any major problem.

I wonder when I'll be able to awaken my Martial Soul. Jun Xuehan silently thought as he gazed at the azure sky.

Outside the residence, Qian Renxue had only just arrived at the entrance when she suddenly heard a voice. It rang out from the depths of her heart, and she was no stranger to it.

About two months ago, when Jun Xuehan had first awakened, Qian Renxue had astonishingly discovered that she could hear his thoughts. Moreover, Jun Xuehan was very intelligent and exceptionally skilled at hiding himself. His intelligence was so remarkable that even Qian Renxue found it astonishing.

If she had not known Jun Xuehan was only six years old, Qian Renxue would never have believed he was a six-year-old child.

"Awakening Martial Soul? I'll have it awakened for you now. Let me see just how good your talent is." Without showing any reaction, Qian Renxue pushed open the main door and walked straight inside.

She Long quietly followed behind Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue sat down in the courtyard and looked at Jun Xuehan, who was sunbathing. Especially when she saw his pair of silver, gemstone-like eyes, amazement rose in her heart. What could have happened to make a child of only six so cold and detached?

Jun Xuehan looked at Qian Renxue in the distance. His silver eyes emitted a faint chill as they opened and closed, and there was not the slightest trace of life in them. There was only pure, clear coldness.

The breeze stirred his silver hair. He merely looked quietly at Qian Renxue, with no intention of speaking. Qian Renxue wore a pale golden Palace Dress. Her skin was fairer than snow, her nose was high and straight, her phoenix eyes slightly narrow, and her face peerlessly beautiful.

Setting everything else aside, based on Qian Renxue's appearance alone, Jun Xuehan could guarantee that among everyone he had seen, no one could currently compare to her in looks.

Qian Renxue smiled faintly and said, "Xuehan, wait here for a while. I'll have She Long prepare the things needed for Awakening Martial Soul, and then I'll perform your Martial Soul Awakening. I should have done it for you half a month ago, but something delayed me."

As she spoke, Qian Renxue waved to She Long behind her, signaling him to prepare the items required for Martial Soul Awakening.

Hearing this, Jun Xuehan lightly nodded. "Thank you, Sister Xue'er."

Though he thanked her aloud, Jun Xuehan silently thought, The so-called matter was pretending to be Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, and plotting against the Heaven Dou Empire, wasn't it?
