Douluo Talents Ranking's Number One, Qian Renxue (Part 2)!

[Qian Renxue's childhood was unfortunate.]

[She had never felt a mother's love.]

[In her memories, her mother, Bibi Dong, had disliked her since she was little for reasons unknown. Even when she carefully prepared gifts for Bibi Dong, her mother only ever showed her a face of disgust or cold indifference.]

[What Qian Renxue did not know was that when she had just been born, her mother Bibi Dong had once wanted to strangle her to death. In the end, however, Bibi Dong could not bring herself to do it. Otherwise, Qian Renxue would have died in infancy.]

[As for why Qian Renxue's mother Bibi Dong disliked her, or even wanted to kill her, one would have to ask Qian Renxue's grandfather, Qian Daoliu.]

[Without a mother's love, Qian Renxue was fortunate enough to still have a father's love.]

[Qian Renxue's father, Qian Xunji, treated her very, very well.]

[What did Qian Renxue want to eat?]

[Qian Xunji would personally make it for her.]

[What did Qian Renxue want to play?]

[Qian Xunji would accompany her.]

[But unfortunately, when Qian Renxue was nine years old, her father Qian Xunji died.]

[Qian Renxue believed what her grandfather Qian Daoliu had told her: that the one who killed her father Qian Xunji was Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect. Because of this, she remembered Tang Hao in her heart and secretly swore that one day, she would avenge her father.]

[After Qian Renxue's father Qian Xunji died, the position of Spirit Hall's Pope was inherited by Qian Renxue's mother, Bibi Dong.]

[Soon afterward, Qian Renxue left Spirit Hall.]

[After leaving Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue headed north to the Heaven Dou Empire.]

"Why did Grandfather hide the truth of Father's death from me?"

"Why did Mother kill Father and devour him?"

"And she is clearly my biological mother. I am flesh and blood she carried for nine months, so why did she want to strangle me to death the moment I was born?"

"What unknown secrets are hidden behind all these matters?"

As she stared at the golden screen in the sky and pondered inwardly, Qian Renxue was utterly confused.

Even after racking her brains, Qian Renxue still could not find the answers to her questions.

Since she could not figure them out, she simply stopped thinking about them.

As she stopped thinking about them, Qian Renxue once again set off for Spirit City.

Once she returned to Spirit City, Qian Renxue would naturally seek out her grandfather Qian Daoliu and demand a clear explanation.

She had to know the causes and consequences, the full course of events—everything!

Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City, Star Luo Imperial Palace.

The dragon throne within the Star Luo Imperial Palace had been moved to the entrance of the palace hall.

At that moment, seated upon the throne was the White Tiger Emperor, who was in the prime of his life.

Looking at the contents displayed on the golden screen in the sky, the White Tiger Emperor's brows furrowed deeply as he could not help complaining.

"Why are all the prodigies on this Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking either born in the Heaven Dou Empire or running off to the Heaven Dou Empire? What's so good about the Heaven Dou Empire? It cannot compare with my Star Luo Empire at all! If not for Spirit Hall, that puny Heaven Dou Empire would have long since been destroyed by my Star Luo Empire, and my Star Luo Empire would have unified Douluo Continent because of it."

After speaking, the White Tiger Emperor wore an unconvinced, displeased expression.

Then, the White Tiger Emperor asked the guard beside him.

"They've set off, right?"

The guard immediately answered respectfully, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Black Tiger Guard has already departed north for Shrek Academy in the Heaven Dou Empire."

"Good." Having received the answer he wanted, the White Tiger Emperor nodded.

The Black Tiger Guard was the Star Luo Empire's most elite Soul Master legion, without equal. They were few in number, only around a hundred, but all of them were formidable. Even the weakest among them were Seven-Ring Soul Saints.

The White Tiger Emperor had dispatched all of them to Shrek Academy in the Heaven Dou Empire for two purposes.

The first purpose was to see whether they could seize Xiao Wu and Xiao Wu's Immortal Herbs.

The second purpose was to bring Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, who were at Shrek Academy in the Heaven Dou Empire, back to the Star Luo Empire.

Once Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing returned, the Star Luo Empire would naturally have its crown prince and crown princess.

Yes, the White Tiger Emperor intended to appoint Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing as the Star Luo Empire's crown prince and crown princess, skipping the competition entirely and declaring them the victors.

What a joke. Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had entered the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking and gained heaven-defying opportunities to change their fates. Their future achievements would be Peak Douluo at the very least. With the two of them guarding the Star Luo Empire in the future, the White Tiger Emperor believed it would certainly be better than having Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun. There was no need to compete anymore; competing would only waste time.

In other words, Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun were done for.

Just then, an anxious voice rang out and reached the White Tiger Emperor's ears.

"Your Majesty, this is bad! The First Prince and First Princess Consort have run away!"

Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Palace.

Inside the palace hall, after hearing the dignified and imposing voice, the Xue Ye Emperor, who had still been whipping Xue Beng, froze on the spot.

Qian Renxue, ranked first on the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking, had come to the Heaven Dou Empire?

That was a good thing!

This meant that all the prodigies on the Douluo Talents Ranking had truly gathered in the Heaven Dou Empire!

Surely, future history books would leave a richly colored mark for him, the Xue Ye Emperor. After all, the heavenly talents on the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking were either born in his Heaven Dou Empire or "yearned for" his Heaven Dou Empire!

Choosing not to continue whipping the Xue Beng who had made a mistake, the Xue Ye Emperor stepped out of the magnificent palace hall. He wanted to see the golden ranking's introduction of Qian Renxue.

At that time, the joyful and delighted Xue Ye Emperor did not yet know that he would soon be angered into fainting.

The introduction of Qian Renxue had not ended yet and continued.

[After heading north to the Heaven Dou Empire, Qian Renxue killed someone.]

[That person's name was Xue Qinghe, the eldest prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.]

[Qian Renxue had neither grievance nor hatred toward Xue Qinghe. The reason she killed him was entirely because of Bibi Dong's plan.]

[Bibi Dong harbored wolfish ambitions. She wanted to unify all of Douluo Continent, destroy the northern Heaven Dou Empire and the southern Star Luo Empire, and leave only one empire on Douluo Continent: the Spirit Empire, built upon the foundation of Spirit Hall.]

[Declare war directly against the two great empires?]

[That was not good for Spirit Hall.]

[For that reason, Bibi Dong decided to send Qian Renxue to the Heaven Dou Empire. After killing Xue Qinghe, the eldest prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, she would disguise herself as Xue Qinghe, find a way to become the Heaven Dou Empire's crown prince, and later inherit the Xue Ye Emperor's throne to become the ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire. This would turn the Heaven Dou Empire into Spirit Hall's puppet empire, allowing Spirit Hall to directly unify all of Douluo Continent in the future.]

[After killing Xue Qinghe, the eldest prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Qian Renxue successfully disguised herself as Xue Qinghe by using the disguise skill of a head soul bone and an exquisite human-skin mask.]

[In order to become the Heaven Dou crown prince, Qian Renxue later killed the Heaven Dou Empire's second prince and third prince.]

[With the deaths of the two princes, along with the fact that the Heaven Dou Empire's fourth prince, Xue Beng, was seen by the world as an ignorant, incompetent playboy unable to bear the burden of rulership, Qian Renxue ultimately succeeded in becoming the Heaven Dou crown prince.]

[Qian Renxue disguised herself in the Heaven Dou Empire for more than ten years.]

[Over those ten-odd years, not a single person discovered that the Heaven Dou crown prince Xue Qinghe was Qian Renxue in disguise. This showed just how well Qian Renxue had disguised herself.]

[That said, Qian Renxue also lost a great deal of cultivation time because of her disguise.]

[Qian Renxue was now over twenty years old, yet she was only a Six-Ring Soul Emperor.]

[Under normal circumstances, Qian Renxue should already have become a Seven-Ring Soul Saint, with hopes of becoming a Titled Douluo possessing nine soul rings in her early thirties.]

[Even so, this was enough to prove how terrifying Qian Renxue's talent for Soul Master cultivation was. She had little time to cultivate and did not cultivate seriously, yet she still became a Six-Ring Soul Emperor in her early twenties. Moreover, her Six-Winged Angel martial soul was simply too powerful. Thus, Qian Renxue surpassed Tang San and Bibi Dong, becoming number one on the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking!]

[In the future, Bibi Dong could become a god, and Qian Renxue could become a god as well.]

[Number one on the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking, Spirit Hall's Young Mistress Qian Renxue. Introduction complete!]

[The corresponding opportunity is being distributed.]

[Opportunity distribution successful!]

The Xue Ye Emperor stood frozen in place, staring fixedly at the golden screen in the sky.

His eyes were wide with disbelief.

He was shocked by its contents.

The Xue Ye Emperor had thought the deaths of his second and third sons were accidents. He never expected that they had been murdered, nor that before killing his second and third sons, that person had killed and replaced his eldest son!

By the time the Xue Ye Emperor came back to his senses, his eyes had already turned blood-red.

"Spirit Hall! Qian Renxue! My Heaven Dou Empire will not rest until we are dead!"

Pfft!

After speaking, the Xue Ye Emperor spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

His eldest son was gone.

His second son was gone.

His third son was gone too.

Only his playboy fourth son remained. The Heaven Dou Empire had no successor!

Could the vast imperial legacy of the Heaven Dou Xue Family be ruined in his generation?

At that thought, the Xue Ye Emperor's vision went black. The next moment, he collapsed to the ground and fainted outright.
