In Heaven Dou City, inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Hotel.

"Xue Qinghe" stared blankly at the Sky Screen's rewards.

She muttered to herself, "A super divine artifact..."

"This thing must be stronger than the Angel Saint Sword!"

Spirit City possessed a divine artifact, the Angel Saint Sword.

However, ordinary people could not wield it. Even her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, was no exception.

According to her grandfather, one had to begin the Angel God Examination and complete the required Divine Trials before they could use the Angel Saint Sword.

She had never expected that merely appearing on the Human Powerhouse Rankings would cause the Sky Screen to upgrade a divine artifact into a super divine artifact. This Sky Screen was truly terrifying.

Moreover, judging by the direction in which the pillar of reward light had descended, it was clearly in the Far North outside Skywater City.

Recalling the introduction of the Tianshui Shui Family members who had made the rankings, "Xue Qinghe" stroked her chin thoughtfully.

"The absolute ruler of the Far North..."

"It seems that treacherous land of ice and snow has already become the Tianshui Shui Family's backyard."

With all the resources of the Far North at their disposal, it was no wonder the Tianshui Shui Family, once merely a second-rate faction, had produced so many Deities.

At this moment, even Qian Renxue, the young mistress of Spirit Hall, developed a strong interest in the dangerous lands of the Far North.

While Qian Renxue was lost in thought, Shui Wuyou did not sit idle either.

In a few quick bites, he wolfed down the food.

Only after eating and drinking his fill did he look at the contemplative "Xue Qinghe."

Of course, in everyone else's eyes, "Xue Qinghe" was the refined and elegant Crown Prince.

But in Shui Wuyou's eyes, how could the current "Xue Qinghe" be Heaven Dou's broad-minded and benevolent heir apparent?

Beneath "Xue Qinghe's" outer shell was Little AngelQian Renxue—with her long golden hair, breathtakingly beautiful face, and sacred, noble, proud aura.

Qian Renxue's Angel head Soul Bone could only fool Titled Douluo. Before him, it was utterly useless.

After all, he was the Lord of Douluo Star, a genuine Deity. Even the Soul Bone divine armor left behind by the Angel God could not deceive his eyes.

Shui Wuyou glanced at Qian Renxue's chest, feeling rather curious.

"Tsk! Tender lotus buds just breaking the surface!"

Upon closer inspection, he realized Little Angel's storehouse was not particularly well stocked.

Had Qian Renxue bound her chest?

Or could the Angel head Soul Bone control its size?

He was quite curious about that question.

Unfortunately, it was not something he could ask in front of her.

Sensing Shui Wuyou's curious and heated gaze, "Xue Qinghe's" cheeks faintly reddened as she spoke awkwardly.

"Ahem! Sir Wuyou, is there something improper about the way you're looking at me?"

She always felt that he was thinking about something impolite.

Could Shui Wuyou possibly like men?

At that thought, she shuddered all over. A chill inexplicably ran down her spine, and alarm bells instantly rang in her heart.

After all, she was currently disguised as a man!

If she returned to her female form and Shui Wuyou openly stared at her chest, she would not have much to worry about. She was quite confident in both her figure and appearance.

But the problem was that she could not be sure whether Shui Wuyou had seen through her disguise as a woman, or whether he simply liked men.

Qian Renxue forcefully suppressed that awkward feeling and quietly made up her mind.

If Shui Wuyou had seen through her disguise as a woman, it would prove that he was interested in her. For the sake of befriending the Tianshui Shui Family, she could consider him.

But if Shui Wuyou simply liked men, she would find him a few suitable targets. She had heard that among the Golden Generation cultivated by that woman Bibi Dong, there were two passable fellows named Yan and Xie Yue. One had a burly macho style, while the other had a wickedly charming style. Surely one of them would suit Shui Wuyou.

Seeing this, black lines appeared across Shui Wuyou's forehead. "Tsk! Little Angel, I get the feeling you're thinking about something impolite!"

"Is this the upbringing of your Angel Clan?"

Shui Wulü, the Ice Empress, the Snow Empress, the Fire Dragon King, and the Ice Dragon King had all been exposed one by one by the Sky Screen. He was probably next.

For that very reason, Shui Wuyou decided not to keep pretending and directly laid his cards on the table with this proud Little Angel, Qian Renxue.

He, Shui Wuyou, was the Lord of Douluo Star, Shui Wulü's older brother, the Ice Empress and Snow Empress's man, and the sworn brother of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King.

"Y-You... You can really see through my disguise as a woman?"

With Shui Wuyou exposing her identity in public, Qian Renxue's entire body jolted as she abruptly rose from her seat.

Though she had long prepared herself for the possibility of her identity being exposed, she had never expected it to happen so soon.

Shui Wuyou took a sip of wine and calmly glanced at the startled Qian Renxue. "Little Angel, stop being so jumpy."

"If you do not understand how to respect the strong, then I'll go to Spirit City and spar with that old man Qian Daoliu!"

Their gazes met and clashed in the air.

Qian Renxue was certain.

Shui Wuyou had truly seen through her disguise as a woman.

He even knew her identity and background.

As for whether he knew about the plan to usurp the nation, that still required investigation.

Yet what made Qian Renxue's heart stir was that Shui Wuyou intended to spar with her grandfather, Qian Daoliu?

What did that mean?

It meant that Shui Wuyou was not as simple as she had imagined.

Shui Wuyou...

Mm! Wait! Something was wrong—very wrong!

Shui Wuyou, Shui Wulü... Wuyou and Wulü...

"Hiss..."

A flash of insight struck Qian Renxue's mind, as though she had thought of something!

Shui Wuyou, Shui Wulü, carefree and free of worries, brother and sister—there was more to that than met the eye.

Qian Renxue pursed her soft pink lips. Just as she was about to ask some questions to confirm her thoughts, the Sky Screen changed again.

[Reviewing Douluo Star's ten greatest human powerhouses.]

[TOP1: Shui Wuyou.]

The instant Shui Wuyou's name was revealed, Qian Renxue's pupils trembled violently. Her entire body seemed struck by lightning, swaying slightly as she nearly lost her footing.

She stared blankly at the Sky Screen hanging high in the heavens, then abruptly turned toward Shui Wuyou, who sat across from her with an indifferent expression. Her face, disguised as refined and gentle, instantly filled with disbelief.

Well, well.

If she had only been guessing before, without absolute certainty, then the instant the Sky Screen revealed Shui Wuyou's name, Qian Renxue knew for sure.

The Shui Wuyou before her was the Lord of Douluo Star, the number one powerhouse on the Human Powerhouse Rankings whom the Sky Screen was about to reveal.

Qian Renxue smiled bitterly. "Heh... hehehe!"

"I never thought a true god had been right before my eyes, while you kept me in the dark for years..."

If not for the Sky Screen's revelation, she would never have guessed that this layabout, who usually wandered the streets and strolled birds, was actually a lofty Deity.
