The Magic Mirror's surface rippled at once, countless bizarre images flashing past in rapid succession as it pierced through layers of disguise and traced back through the mists of time and space.
A moment later, the mirror settled on an image: the phantom of a girl with cascading golden hair and peerless beauty, three pairs of dazzling wings of light extending from her back as she radiated a sacred, majestic aura.
Behind her stood the faint outline of a magnificent hall surrounded by countless angel statues.
"My supreme master!" the Magic Mirror said in the same fawning voice.
"The truth is truly shocking! This person is not the real Xue Qinghe. She had disguised herself using the Angel soul bone secretly passed down by the Martial Soul Hall. Her true identity is Qian Renxue, daughter of the current Pope of the Martial Soul Hall and inheritor of the god-tier martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel!"
"Martial Soul Hall. Inheritor of the Six-Winged Angel. Qian Renxue."
Eva's eyes instantly lit up.
The weight of this information was even more interesting than discovering that the crown prince was a woman. To her, this was simply an unexpected gain.
Who would have thought that the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire was actually the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall's daughter?
A bold and crazy plan immediately formed in Eva's mind.
Ning Fengzhi wanted to use a handsome man to control her? Heh. Then she would play an even bigger and more interesting game with them.
She would turn this Martial Soul Hall princess, so noble in status and limitless in potential, into the most splendid stepping stone to her queen's throne—and her most entertaining toy.
Eva's red lips curved into a smile. She walked to the dressing table, pulled her nightgown farther open, messed up her perfect golden hair, and even used her fingertips to create several suggestive red marks on her fair neck and collarbone.
She then went to the couch, removed Qian Renxue's outer robe and inner garments together, left several suggestive kiss marks along her smooth neck, removed her hair crown, and let her hair spill messily across the pillow. Then she cast several dark spells on Qian Renxue to make everything seem even more real.
After she finished, the bedchamber was already a chaotic mess that looked like the aftermath of an encounter.
Satisfied with her handiwork, Eva elegantly lay back down beside Qian Renxue and closed her eyes.
The following morning.
Qian Renxue woke with a splitting headache. Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling and surroundings before her, she was dazed for a moment.
It was not until she felt the warmth beside her that she came back to her senses.
This was—
What had she done yesterday?
Qian Renxue stiffly turned her head. Eva was lying on her side beside her, a faint blush on her exquisitely beautiful face, her long lashes trembling slightly as though she were still asleep.
Qian Renxue's outer robe and underclothes had been tossed aside, and she wore only a thin inner garment.
Eva's fragrant shoulder was half exposed, her smooth skin covered in suggestive red marks. One of her snow-white arms was even draped across Qian Renxue's leg.
Boom!!!
Qian Renxue's mind exploded, going completely blank!
Shock, shame, fear, and absurdity crashed over her like a tsunami!
What had happened yesterday?
What had they done yesterday?
That was impossible! I'm a woman! She's a woman too!
How could we possibly—
Yet the tantalizing scene before her, along with the discomfort coming from her body, threw Qian Renxue's mind into utter chaos.
Could a soul bone skill really... go that far?
Could that soul bone be powerful enough to simulate a man's... function?
The moment the thought emerged, Qian Renxue went cold all over.
Just then, Eva happened to slowly wake up. She opened her eyes and saw the disheveled Qian Renxue beside her. She first showed just the right amount of confusion, then seemed to remember something as two blushes swiftly rose to her cheeks.
She cast Qian Renxue a shy, timid glance before lowering her head.
"Your Highness, you were really fierce last night!"
To Qian Renxue, Eva's words were as devastating as a nuclear explosion, completely confirming her suspicions.
Qian Renxue froze as though struck by lightning.
She wanted to refute Eva, even wanted to scream and demand answers, but it was as if an invisible hand had clamped around her throat. She could not force out a single word.
Her chastity was gone just like that?
And it had been taken while she was posing as a man. The overwhelming shame left Qian Renxue unable to think at all.
Seeing the other woman's devastated expression, as though she wanted nothing more than to crawl into a crack in the ground, Eva was laughing herself sick inside, though she maintained her bashful appearance.
She even considerately tugged at the thin blanket to cover the spring scenery she had accidentally exposed.
"Your Highness, there is no need to panic," Eva said softly.
"I did all of this willingly."
Eva's words were like the final straw, completely crushing Qian Renxue.
She could no longer hold herself together.
Qian Renxue threw off the blanket and practically scrambled off the couch, fumbling frantically to put on her clothes.
"Eva, I... I'll head back first."
With that, Qian Renxue did not dare look at Eva again. As if some monstrous flood or beast were chasing her from behind, she staggered out of the bedchamber.
Watching Qian Renxue's fleeing figure and the bedchamber doors closing behind her, Eva finally could not hold back any longer and burst into hearty laughter.
She laughed until tears came out, rolling back and forth across the rumpled couch.
"Ha ha ha, this is too amusing! The Angel God's little believer—her expression, ha ha ha! It'll keep me laughing for a hundred years."
Eva wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes, mischief glinting in her gaze.
"The game has only just begun, little Qian Renxue."
One month later, in the imperial study of the Heaven Dou Empire's palace.
Emperor Snow Night was discussing state affairs with several senior ministers. Though he still seemed mentally alert, a trace of exhaustion and age could not be concealed between his brows.
Suddenly, the study doors were gently pushed open. The chief eunuch hurried in with an excited expression, disregarding protocol as his voice trembled with barely restrained exhilaration.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Great news! Wonderful news!"
Emperor Snow Night frowned at the interruption. "What matter has made you so flustered?"
The chief eunuch dropped to his knees with a thud, his voice trembling yet loud. "Reporting to Your Majesty! Lady Eva has just summoned the imperial physician to take her pulse. The physician has diagnosed that she is with child! She has been pregnant for over a month!"
"What!"
Emperor Snow Night shot to his feet from the imperial throne, an astonishing light erupting in his clouded eyes.
"What did you say? Say it again!"
Emperor Snow Night was utterly stunned by this news. Though his age was not considered advanced for a Soul Douluo, his body had been injured in his early years, and his health had never been particularly good.
Many years had passed since the birth of his last child, Xue Ke, and he had not had another child since.
"It is absolutely true, Your Majesty. The imperial physician confirmed it repeatedly. Lady Eva's pulse was smooth and rolling like pearls. It is undoubtedly a pregnancy pulse."
The chief eunuch excitedly kowtowed.
"Ha ha ha! Heaven has blessed me!" Emperor Snow Night laughed wildly in ecstasy, a long-lost flush returning to his face.
"Good! Good! Wonderful! Eva! My Eva! Ha ha ha!"
