Falsely Accused by Ning Rongrong at the Start; You've Got Some Guts, Little Girl!

Inside the crown prince's palace within the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Qian Renxue's dual eyes were tightly closed, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul hovered behind her, and a dense, golden sacred light rained down, completely enveloping her entire person.

With a soft, humming buzz, Qian Renxue's expression changed abruptly.

She made it!

"Grandpa Tian, Xue'er has broken through!"

Qian Renxue opened her dual eyes, instantly looking with a face full of joy toward the handsome young man sitting cross-legged not far away from her.

The youth possessed an exceedingly handsome appearance, seemingly looking to be only a little over twenty years of age, yet he had a head of crystalline white hair.

A sense of the vicissitudes of time enshrouded his body.

Ye Qingtian, a transmigrator, had crossed over into the Dourol Continent two hundred years before the storyline began.

According to seniority, he belonged to the generation of Qian Daoliu's father; in that turbulent and chaotic era, he joined Spirit Hall and became a Supreme Consecrated of Spirit Hall.

Even though the generation of Qian Daoliu's father had already perished in the river of time, and Qian Daoliu had become the Grand Consecrated of Spirit Hall, as well as the Judgment Elder who controlled all trials of Spirit Hall.

In terms of status and standing, he was perpetually inferior to this Supreme Consecrated, which was him.

The reason he could maintain this position, aside from being of greater age, was most crucially his strength.

Presently, his strength had already reached the demigod level, belonging to the exact same realm as Qian Daoliu.

Their realms were identical, yet their strength was worlds apart.

Qian Daoliu could only be a demigod because his upper limit at present could only reach the demigod tier.

Whereas he remained a demigod solely because he had yet to condense his godhood, which was why he only manifested at the demigod level.

If they were to truly exchange blows, a single move would cause Qian Daoliu to suffer defeat.

There was also one point where he differed from Qian Daoliu.

Within the current Douluo Divine Realm, Qian Daoliu could only gaze from afar at the location of the Divine Realm.

As for him, Ye Qingtian, he had genuinely been to the Divine Realm, and had even accidentally fought all opponents in the Divine Realm into submission, earning himself the moniker of an 'Uncrowned God King'.

Though he had not yet attained divinity, he could easily slay gods!

Twin Martial Souls: Sunset Bow and Human Emperor Banner.

The Sunset Bow, with its bowstring drawn like a full moon, could shoot and kill all gods, obliterating stars and extinguishing moons, exactly identical to the divine bow with which Hou Yi shot down the suns in the mythological tales of the world from his previous life.

The Human Emperor Banner, when raised, severed souls; it could command thousands of troops, slaughtering gods and exterminating demons, with the only slight difference from the Sunset Bow being...

The Sunset Bow possessed magnificent grandeur and boundless divine might.

While the Human Emperor Banner was somewhat inappropriately quirky, from time to time actually liking to puff out little clouds of black smoke with ku-ku-ku sounds.

Right now, inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

It was all because of a system achievement quest.

Having dwelled at the demigod tier for a prolonged period, it was not that he did not wish to condense his godhood and take his place within the Divine Realm.

The numerous reasons lay entirely upon this system achievement, which required him to become Qian Renxue's guardian, ensuring that Qian Renxue could safely and soundly attain divinity.

The day the achievement was completed would be the moment he condensed his Supreme Godhood.

Once the Supreme Godhood was condensed, a single thought would shatter rivers of stars, a single drop of blood would pulverize celestial bodies, and the breath between his lips and teeth could shift the sun and moon, shaking the azure heavens.

He would reach the supreme realm that even the Dragon God of yesteryear had never managed to achieve.

"Not bad, you broke through to level 69."

"When you have time in the future, Grandpa Tian will take you to hunt soul beasts and charge toward the Soul Sage realm!"

Ye Qingtian opened his eyes slightly, looking with gratification at Qian Renxue's growth.

Qian Renxue felt somewhat bashful, completely unlike the cold arrogance she displayed before outsiders, and replied in a soft voice, "It is all thanks to Grandpa Tian's guidance, otherwise it would have been impossible for Xiao Xue to break through so quickly."

Dong, dong, dong—

At this moment, the door to the bedchamber was knocked upon.

Hearing the sound, Qian Renxue could not spare any thought for anything else.

Brilliant radiances surged across her body, the power of her soul bone bringing forth its effects as her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul instantly disguised itself as a Swan Martial Soul.

Her attire shifted in tandem.

Her original female appearance transformed in an instant into the likeness of Xue Qinghe.

"Who goes there?" Qian Renxue asked indifferently.

Outside the door, the newcomer reported, "Reporting to the Crown Prince, His Majesty has issued a command ordering Your Highness to inspect the imperial city today, investigate public sentiment, and gather the hearts of the people."

"Understood!"

The person outside the door departed.

Qian Renxue's brows furrowed slightly.

With Ye Qingtian acting as her guardian, she genuinely wished to continue cultivating.

Only by reaching the strength of a Titled Douluo as early as possible did she feel she could truly take control of a life that belonged to her.

"Grandpa Tian, I am sorry, but today Xue'er cannot continue cultivating; I need to patrol Heaven Dou City for a bit," Qian Renxue said softly.

Hearing this, Ye Qingtian nodded slightly. "Go on. The pursuit of cultivation is most averse to haste and overeagerness, and since you have yet to hunt a soul beast, you have no way of breaking through to a Soul Sage for the time being anyway!"

"Right, Grandpa Tian, ever since Xue'er came to Heaven Dou City, you have been accompanying Xue'er all this time without ever going out to stroll around."

A flash of inspiration struck Qian Renxue as she suddenly spoke, "Why don't you come stroll around together with Xue'er today, Grandpa Tian? Staying inside the palace halls all the time is no solution either!"

As her voice trailed off, Qian Renxue proactively seated herself by Ye Qingtian's side.

She hooked her arm through Ye Qingtian's, looking precisely like a little granddaughter acting spoiled before her own grandfather.

Ye Qingtian did not immediately agree.

Given his age nowadays, he had long since lost any desire to stroll outside for leisure.

"Grandpa Tian, just say yes to Xue'er."

"Xue'er has rarely ever asked anything of you; this time, treat it as Xue'er begging you, all right?"

Qian Renxue continued acting spoiled.

No matter how arrogant and cold she appeared in front of outsiders.

That was precisely how cute and endearingly naive she was in front of Ye Qingtian.

Even her true biological grandfather, Qian Daoliu, had never enjoyed such treatment.

"Since you implore me so, Xue'er, then Grandpa Tian will agree to it."

Unable to withstand Qian Renxue's entreaties, Ye Qingtian smiled faintly and helplessly gave his consent.

A smile bloomed across Qian Renxue's face as she pressed her cheek against Ye Qingtian's arm and rubbed it affectionately. "I knew Grandpa Tian is the best to Xue'er! Then let us go take a stroll through Heaven Dou City together!"

"Grandpa Tian, you have worn this set of clothes upon your body for quite some time now; Xue'er shall also purchase a few fresh sets of garments for you."

"Do not refuse, Grandpa Tian; this is a token of Xue'er's sincerity."

Ye Qingtian nodded slightly.

Tacitly accepting Qian Renxue's proposal.

Watching Qian Renxue reveal her true nature and appearance in front of him.

To say he felt no gratification would be somewhat deceiving.

Heaven Dou City was exceptionally prosperous.

Serving as the imperial capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

People from every province, and even numerous merchants from the surrounding kingdoms, all came here seeking opportunities for development and to make money.

The streets were filled with people; while they did not reach the point of rubbing shoulders, it was not far off.

Because it was considered traveling incognito without any accompanying guards, Ye Qingtian and Qian Renxue also became part of the crowd.

"Grandpa Tian, look, suddenly coming out for a stroll—doesn't your mood become much better?" Qian Renxue lowered her voice and spoke softly to Ye Qingtian.

Ye Qingtian chuckled. "You little girl, it seems my cultivation pressure upon you these past few days was simply too heavy, and you wanted to come out and relax?"

"It's not like that at all~"

Qian Renxue muttered under her breath.

Hampered by currently maintaining the identity of Xue Qinghe.

She had no way to behave as naturally as she did within the palace halls.

Ye Qingtian smiled as he appraised Qian Renxue, then swept his gaze toward a certain spot.

"People from Shrek Academy?"

Ye Qingtian felt a slight trace of surprise.

Watching the group of people approaching from the opposite direction.

He had not anticipated that taking a casual stroll today would allow him to run into a few members of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Having attained his current realm, he couldn't be bothered to manage the affairs of Tang San and these individuals; anyway, as long as he was present, nothing unexpected could possibly happen to Qian Renxue's ascension to godhood.

After merely glancing at them, he withdrew his gaze.

"Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, I'm so bored!"

"How can you two possibly like going shopping and strolling about this much?"

"Why don't we find some amusement? If we stay this bored much longer, I'm going to explode!"

Among the Shrek Seven Devils.

Ning Rongrong affectionately looped her arm through Zhu Qing's wrist.

Displaying the typical personality of a Little Witch, though many of her sharp edges had been worn away after joining Shrek Academy.

Yet those smoothed-out sharp edges were strictly limited to certain people from Shrek Academy; toward everyone else, she still maintained her instinctive Little Witch attitude.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing smiled faintly, knowing Ning Rongrong's personality far too well, and selectively chose to ignore it.

Ning Rongrong suddenly felt bored, thinking that this wouldn't do, and her eyes rolled around.

Suddenly, her gaze landed on Ye Qingtian opposite her.

Heh, I've got a way.

It's so boring right now, I can totally do something that isn't boring.

That guy seems to be looking over our way, looks like I can manipulate things a little?

Mischief surged in Ning Rongrong.

Unable to stand the boredom, her heart was now completely full of the desire to stir up trouble.

She cared not at all about what consequences stirring up trouble would bring, nor did she care what impact those so-called consequences could have on herself.

This was no longer a place like Suotuo City.

The ground beneath their feet right now was Heaven Dou City, the imperial capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Her father, Ning Fengzhi, was the tutor of the Heaven Dou Empire's crown prince, a person of immense status and standing within the Heaven Dou Empire.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind her was even wealthier than a nation, and ranked among the Upper Three Sects within the Soul Master World.

If there really were any consequences, in her eyes they would be nothing more than a drizzle.

Compared to consequences and the like, she merely considered it an honor for Ye Qingtian to catch her eye, feeling more like he was climbing socially to reach her.

Not just anyone was qualified to take on something that could amuse her.

Formulating her subsequent plan, Ning Rongrong deliberately released Zhu Zhuqing's wrist, and amidst the bustling crowd, after brushing past Ye Qingtian and Qian Renxue—

Suddenly, she halted her steps on the spot, abruptly turned around, and glared at Ye Qingtian and Qian Renxue.

"Stop right there, you damned pervert!"

"In broad daylight, under the bright sun, in full public view, how dare you touch this young lady's chest!"

"Stop, stop right there for this young lady!"

Ning Rongrong suddenly turned around, putting on an extremely angry expression.

Charging at the backs of Ye Qingtian and Qian Renxue, she immediately began to shout and roar.

Tang San and the others stopped one after another, all of them turning around to look at Ye Qingtian and Qian Renxue.

The surrounding crowd also subconsciously stopped, pair after pair of gazes turning to look at the two of them as well.

Ye Qingtian stopped; Qian Renxue stopped. The two of them turned around to meet the gazes of the Shrek Seven Devils, their eyes finally locking onto the moment they collided with Ning Rongrong.

Ye Qingtian was quite surprised. Meeting Ning Rongrong's gaze, he captured that trace of slyness hidden deep within her eyes.

Without needing to think, he already understood what medicine this Little Witch was selling in her gourd.

This Little Witch, having nothing better to do, is looking for trouble out of nowhere?

Just a little brat, currently nothing more than a Soul Elder.

She actually has the nerve to slander me—does she really think this is some webnovel story?

Ning Rongrong, you've got some nerve!!
