Su Yu: ???
"You've gone crazy!"
"Isn't this jealousy?"
Qian Renxue admitted it openly. "I am jealous."
Besides the Holy Angel and Dark Angel, Qian Renxue noticed the supreme configuration beneath Su Yu's feet: four Spirit Rings, yellow, purple, purple, and black.
His Fourth Spirit Ring was ten-thousand-year-old, and he had achieved that without even absorbing a Spirit Bone. An External Soul Bone alone had allowed him to reach this level.
"Why is your Fourth Spirit Ring ten-thousand-year-old? Ugh, this is infuriating."
Grandpa should have explained everything in his letter. He had made her feel so miserable that she absolutely had to teach him a harsh lesson.
"Big Sister, what is your current cultivation level?"
Su Yu curiously moved closer and asked.
He activated Flash, and in the instant Qian Renxue rubbed her eyes, he had already arrived before her.
Qian Renxue jumped in fright. Her heart immediately fell into turmoil, but she still pretended to remain calm.
"What's wrong with being a Soul Ancestor? Besides, my cultivation was delayed because of my undercover mission. Otherwise, I would have already been heading toward Spirit Emperor."
"My foolish big sister, if you give in now, I can give you an Immortal Herb to help you break through to Spirit King and increase the speed of your future cultivation."
Su Yu offered an incredibly tempting condition.
So tempting that even Snake Lance Douluo was moved.
An Immortal Herb—something that had allowed Su Yu to reach Spirit King at the age of twelve.
If that was not cheating, what was?
He only regretted not being a woman.
Otherwise, he would definitely have asked Su Yu for an Immortal Herb to try.
"Really?"
Qian Renxue replied dazedly.
She still believed him when it came to Immortal Herbs.
"Of course." Su Yu stepped back from Qian Renxue and said seriously, "I, Su Yu, keep my word. Besides, I'll need to trouble you often in the future."
"It was Big Sister's fault. Big Sister apologizes to you."
Qian Renxue spoke softly, yielding in her words and taking the initiative to ease the tension between them.
Yet this surrender was merely part of the process. She had never truly admitted defeat in her heart. Once she got the Immortal Herb, she would definitely drag Su Yu onto a bed someday and make him repeat what had happened today.
If he dared refuse, she would use her soft, fragrant little feet to stomp on his face.
There had been a scene like that in a storybook novel she had read recently. A man being stepped on in the face by a woman was an extremely humiliating thing.
"At least Big Sister understands."
Su Yu smiled. It was about time now.
He had only intended to chat with this nominal big sister of his. Who would have thought they would get along so well, only for a few sentences to make everything fall apart?
He took a jade box from his Storage Soul Tool. The moment it opened, brilliant golden light shone forth.
Qian Renxue stared fixedly at the Immortal Herb inside the jade box. The golden flower was crystalline and translucent, and she could not look away.
"Holy Light Mystic Origin Flower."
"As long as a Soul Master possesses a light or sacred attribute, swallowing this Immortal Herb
will not only transform the origin of their Martial Soul, but also elevate their talent once again."
Su Yu's brief words
had already set Qian Renxue's heart racing. She immediately rushed forward in excitement and grabbed Su Yu's hand.
"Xiao Yu, I knew you were still thinking of Big Sister. Even though this is our first meeting, you still gave me an Immortal Herb."
Qian Renxue was already extremely happy.
All that nonsense about not giving in earlier was bullshit.
Her little brother cared about her so much, yet she had actually been thinking about stepping on his face. That was truly going too far.
Fortunately, Xiao Yu could not read minds.
Otherwise, she would be mortified to death.
"As long as Big Sister likes it, that's enough. Take it."
Qian Renxue's behavior made Su Yu feel somewhat embarrassed.
"Thank you, little brother. Big Sister likes it very much."
Qian Renxue happily accepted the Immortal Herb, then pulled the stunned Su Yu into her embrace.
"Little Brother Xiao Yu, welcome to Heaven Dou City. Those six years must have been very difficult, right? Big Sister will keep you company."
Qian Renxue spoke to Su Yu in the gentle tone of an older sister.
She could deeply empathize with Su Yu's childhood.
For six years, he had known nothing but cultivation and had not had a single friend.
For a child from the age of six to twelve, that was a childhood devoid of happiness.
Therefore, from now on, she had to cherish Su Yu properly.
"Got it, Big Sister. Stop hugging me. I can barely breathe."
Su Yu was having trouble breathing from the embrace.
Why was she squeezing him so hard?
"I got a little excited." Qian Renxue smiled awkwardly.
Watching this scene, Azure Luan Douluo felt that it carried the warmth of a father and daughter. Yet the two insisted on calling themselves siblings, and something about it felt off.
"Today, Big Sister will host a banquet for Little Brother Xiao Yu and Third Grandpa. Put the dossier matter aside for now."
Qian Renxue said happily, then instructed the servants in the manor to prepare a feast.
Everyone at Crown Prince Manor had been sent by Spirit Hall, so there was no need to worry about safety.
Qian Renxue personally went to prepare a few things.
Snake Lance Douluo followed right after her. Seeing Su Yu's appearance made him feel as though he had seen the Former Pope, leaving him somewhat terrified.
"Xiao Yu, what do you think of this sister you have never met?"
Once Azure Luan Douluo saw that no one was left around, he stepped forward to have a proper chat with Su Yu.
"She gets angry easily, but she might be a little wicked inside. When I gave her the Immortal Herb, she became completely different."
Su Yu answered truthfully.
"You know mind-reading?" Azure Luan Douluo was astonished.
"I don't, but Big Sister's expression gave her away. She isn't used to giving in to me, and she has always been respected by others. When has she ever suffered such a grievance?"
Su Yu explained unhurriedly.
"So that's how it is."
"Still, Xiao Xue's experiences really have been pitiful. Since the day she was born, she has never had a warm childhood.
Her father, Qian Xunji, died early. Her birth mother was utterly cold and disgusted by her, never giving her even the slightest maternal love, treating her only as an insignificant burden.
In the vast Spirit Hall, her grandfather Qian Daoliu was her only support. She came to Heaven Dou City to infiltrate it at the age of nine.
That is why Xiao Xue hugged you like that just now."
Azure Luan Douluo explained the full story.
As for who her mother was, Azure Luan Douluo did not make it too clear.
"Fortunately, Big Sister didn't bottle it all up until she broke. Otherwise, it would have been bad if she had pulled out a sword and chopped me just now." Su Yu joked with a smile.
"Hahaha, you brat actually know fear? Don't worry, Xiao Xue would never do something like that."
For Qian Renxue,
at most, she would teach someone a lesson, sulk, and stew in anger. Drawing a sword to chop someone was impossible.
Not long afterward,
Qian Renxue finished her work, pulled Su Yu beneath a tree, and raised a cup filled with fine wine.
"Come on, bratty little brother. Cheers."
Qian Renxue raised her brows and smiled.
"Huh? We're drinking as soon as I get here?" Su Yu was somewhat surprised.
"Bratty little brother, don't tell me you're too scared to drink?" Qian Renxue teased.
"Then you're underestimating me too much."
Su Yu picked up his cup, clinked it against Qian Renxue's, and drank it in one gulp.
The strong liquor slid down his throat, and Su Yu frowned slightly. The alcohol was hitting him hard!
The time that followed was spent chatting freely about life. After three rounds of drinks,
Qian Renxue was slightly tipsy, while Su Yu had already gone outside to get some air.
"I should go into seclusion and break through first."
The Immortal Herb Su Yu had given her needed to be refined as soon as possible.
