Husband and Wife

"I want to ask you something..."

Qian Renxue suddenly turned serious.

Bofeng nodded. "Please, go ahead..."

"Have you really thought this through? Are you willing to take responsibility for me and be with me?" Qian Renxue asked solemnly.

Bofeng took a deep breath and nodded gravely. "I've thought it through. What happened wasn't something I wanted. But since it has happened, even though we haven't yet..."

Qian Renxue gave him a warning look...

"Not that, but it's basically close enough. I, Bofeng, am not a beast. If I say something, I'll definitely do it."

Qian Renxue nodded slightly, then continued, "I've had many enemies since I was young. If they find out I'm with you and try to harm me, what will you do?"

The reason Qian Renxue said this was because she was still concealing her true identity. She used enemies in place of her grandfather and herself; once they learned the full truth, there was no telling whether they would come in person.

For Bofeng's safety, she could not let her grandfather or herself learn of this matter.

Fortunately, Uncle She was on good terms with her and would not reveal it.

And with that Titled Douluo by Bofeng's side, Qian Renxue became even more certain of one thing: he was no ordinary man!

Bofeng said firmly, "I'll meet them head-on and make sure they can't hurt you in the slightest, until every last one of them is wiped out."

"Good!" Qian Renxue nodded. "Remember the promise you made to me today. From now on, we are husband and wife."

Bofeng: "!!!"

"What? You're unwilling?" Qian Renxue frowned slightly as she looked at the reluctant expression on Bofeng's face.

Bofeng hurriedly shook his head. "No! Of course not!"

"It's just..."

"Having a wife appear out of nowhere, and such a beautiful one at that... I really can't quite take it in. It feels like a dream."

Qian Renxue smiled with pursed lips. "Can you tell me where you're from?"

Bofeng looked at Qian Renxue, recalling his mother's warning.

The continent was different from Sea God Island. Its waters ran deep. Unless it was someone you trusted completely, you must never reveal your true identity, or it would bring unnecessary trouble.

After considering it again and again, Bofeng smiled. "Allow me to formally introduce myself. My name is Bofeng. My martial soul is the Trident. I'm a level forty-four battle Soul Ancestor, from an island off the coast near Vast Sea City."

"My sister is called Xiaobai. I also have a mother, but Sister Xiaobai was the one who raised me. Honestly, I never understood it until I came to Heaven Dou City."

"My sister is actually a Titled Douluo!"

Qian Renxue could only half-believe Bofeng's words.

The power Bofeng had displayed that morning was no weaker than her Six-winged Angel, perhaps even stronger.

Qian Renxue said seriously, "Are you sure you're not lying to me?"

Bofeng hurriedly nodded. "I'm really not lying to you. We're husband and wife now. We'll be walking forward together in the future, so there's no need for me to lie to you."

"A husband never lies to his wife," Bofeng swore.

"A wife never lies to her husband," Qian Renxue swore.

The two looked into each other's eyes, their gazes so clear that they could see straight into one another.

There were no schemes between them, only deep sincerity for each other.

(In truth, they had both deceived each other.)

They were both doing it for the other's sake. Qian Renxue feared that her grandfather and she might suddenly come to kill him.

Bofeng, meanwhile, was worried about Sea God Island. On the continent, everyone called it Devil Island.

More than that, Bofeng feared for Wang Xue. If Spirit Hall learned of his identity, then Wang Xue would...

This was their first meeting, but not really. Back when Qian Renxue was still Xue Qinghe, they had already known each other for a year.

During that time, they had opened their hearts to each other on many occasions.

Otherwise, Qian Renxue would not have accepted Bofeng so quickly. A year was enough for anyone to develop some feelings.

After saying this, they smiled at each other before pulling one another into a fierce embrace.

The night was destined to be long. Bofeng held Qian Renxue as they lay in bed, both unable to fall asleep for a time.

Bofeng and Qian Renxue were both uncomfortable. Though the drug's main effects had faded, its lingering potency remained.

"Sister Xiaobai! What a wonderful sister I've ended up with!" Bofeng grumbled.

Qian Renxue's face flushed slightly. "Husband, stop complaining. Sister was doing it for your sake too. Otherwise, we wouldn't have ended up like this..."

The night passed in silence...

Early the next morning, Bofeng rose especially early because he was going to begin work at Blue Tyrant Academy.

"Brother Feng, how did last night go?" Sister Xiaobai popped out from who knew where and asked about the previous night's battle results.

Bofeng had no way to deal with this sister of his, nor did he know what to say to her.

"Sis, you..." Bofeng did not know how to express his feelings at that moment.

He could only give her a thumbs-up before silently going to the side to eat breakfast.

Sister Xiaobai still would not let it go. Sitting beside Bofeng, she asked again, "We're siblings, so what is there to hide? How did it go with that Wang Xue?"

Bofeng could not withstand Sister Xiaobai's questioning. If he did not answer, Wang Xue would surely tell her.

"It's settled. Everything that needed to be done has been done. Sister Xiaobai, are you happy now?"

(In truth, only the final step remained. Everything else was more or less done; it was already set in stone.)

At those words, Sister Xiaobai's heart immediately blossomed with joy.

Her brilliant little brother—she never expected there would be a day when he would fall right into her calculations. Just thinking about it thrilled her.

At that moment, Qian Renxue came downstairs and saw Sister Xiaobai there.

Following her gaze, she saw Sister Xiaobai smiling faintly, as though everything had gone exactly as she expected.

Qian Renxue's face immediately turned red. She slowly made her way over to Sister Xiaobai.

"Little sister-in-law, hurry and sit down. From now on, we're family."

Sister Xiaobai quickly pulled Qian Renxue over to sit, then said, "If anyone dares bully you in the future, just tell them Sister Xiaobai sent you. Let's see who would dare pick on you."

"And you, Brother Feng, treat Little Xue'er better from now on. Try to give us a big, chubby boy by next year, then..."

"Cough, cough, cough..." ×2

Bofeng wiped his mouth with a napkin and hurriedly said, "Um, Sister Xiaobai, I'm heading to the academy first. It's my first day on the job, so I absolutely can't be late. I'm leaving."

With that, Bofeng quickly fled the place. He was truly afraid Sister Xiaobai would bring up something unnecessary.

Seeing that Bofeng had already gone far away, Sister Xiaobai put her hands on her hips and said helplessly, "That little brat! Now that he's married, he doesn't even appreciate his sister anymore. If it weren't for me..."

Qian Renxue slowly ate her breakfast beside her. She needed to quickly adapt to this environment.

Sister Xiaobai was innocent and kind, and treated everyone well. Aside from being somewhat devious, she did not have any major flaws.
