Woman, Are You Trying to Get My Attention?

"Tang Hao!"

Qian Renxue parted her lips and spoke the name one syllable at a time, her voice icy with hatred etched into her bones.

Tang Hao was the man who had killed her father, an enemy Qian Renxue could never forgive!

If not for Tang Hao, her father would never have suffered the wounds that eventually claimed his life.

That was why Qian Renxue also disliked Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who had taken part in that battle.

They had all fought Tang Hao. Why had her father died while those two survived?

Qian Renxue did not know that the one who had truly killed Qian Xunji was never Tang Hao. It was her mother, Bibi Dong.

Tang Hao had merely taken the blame.

Qian Xunji had been a level 95 Power Attack System Titled Douluo, after all.

How could he have been so fragile?

As long as Qian Xunji had returned to Spirit Hall with a breath of life left in him,

Spirit Hall's resources would have offered countless ways to heal him.

Yet after Qian Xunji returned, word spread that his wounds were beyond treatment and he had died.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had been even more badly injured than he was, but both survived.

Anyone who knew even a little of what had happened would have had their suspicions.

But Qian Daoliu, an Ultimate Douluo who had just lost his son, forcibly suppressed them.

Afterward, Bibi Dong succeeded to the papal throne.

The blame for Qian Xunji's death then fell, as a matter of course, on Tang Hao.

The next second,

her voice vanished into thin air.

As before, Ning Wen gave it no further thought.

It was as though some mysterious, irresistible force stopped him from looking into it.

Even if he grew suspicious, he would find an explanation for himself.

After her initial fury, Qian Renxue gradually calmed down and swiftly went over every detail.

Only then did she notice a crucial point.

This boy had said that when she ascended to godhood, Tang San and Tang Hao would conspire to kill her.

He had also said earlier that she was currently hiding her identity.

Those mortifying, cheesy declarations of love had made Qian Renxue overlook it.

That meant he had known her true identity from the start.

The more she thought about it, the more frightening it became!

Fortunately, the voice in his heart had not revealed her identity outright.

Otherwise, all her years of effort, along with Spirit Hall's thousand-year plan, would have come to nothing.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not like other powers.

It was not that Spirit Hall lacked the strength to destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

It simply could not guarantee that it would wipe out every last trace of the sect.

If Spirit Hall attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, powers across the land would surely unite against them.

Could he have been reborn? Were he and my future self lovers?

Qian Renxue looked at Ning Wen with an odd expression.

She could not imagine her future self falling for this little brat.

For Spirit Hall's thousand-year plan, she had been sent to the Heaven Dou Empire's palace as a child, where she posed as the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe, and plotted to seize the empire. How could she become obsessed with romance?

Right. That can't be it.

If Ning Wen knew what Qian Renxue was thinking, he would probably burst out laughing.

Qian Renxue had known Tang San was the son of the man who killed her father, yet she had repeatedly tried to recruit him and repeatedly gone soft on him.

Even when she held an overwhelming advantage, she had let Tang San go time and again.

After becoming a god, she had still been unable to bring herself to kill him on multiple occasions, despite the grave threat he posed.

If that isn't someone blinded by love, what is?

She had certainly inherited Bibi Dong's genes.

A brilliant, cold-hearted woman who had everything under control at first suddenly became like an ordinary lovestruck girl after meeting Tang San.

In his previous life, plenty of people had complained that Qian Renxue's characterization had fallen apart.

"Little one, this is our first time meeting, isn't it?"

Qian Renxue asked with a smile.

She intended to use the opportunity to see what she could draw out of him.

First time meeting?

Yes! In this life, this truly is the first time you and I have met!

In our previous lives, you were noble, while This Seat was merely an outcast of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

When This Seat was down and out, you reached out and helped This Seat find the strength to carry on.

Alas... the best-laid plans cannot overcome fate!

In the end, neither of us could escape our destiny, and death parted us forever!

Ning Wen: "..."

Why was it acting lovesick again?

Had it forgotten the four wives in the Great Star Dou Forest?

Now it was talking about being unable to escape destiny!

That would make more sense if it were talking about Soul Beasts.

Come to think of it, among the Soul Beasts who chose to take human form in the four-part Douluo Continent series, none seemed able to escape the fate of sacrificing themselves—except for the Silver Dragon King, who was an exception.

Ah Yin sacrificed herself, Xiao Wu sacrificed herself, Qiu'er sacrificed herself, Bai Xiuxiu sacrificed herself...

The Auspicious Beast had it worst of all.

At least the other women were eventually revived.

When all was said and done, it was still Tang San's fault!

Qian Renxue was speechless.

Down and out?

Reached out to help?

Parted forever by death?

That wasn't what I wanted to hear!

What on earth was going through this little brat's head?

"Yeah!"

Ning Wen nodded. "Is there a problem?"

Qian Renxue's face darkened.

In his head, he spouted one passionate confession after another. On the outside, he wore an innocent expression and pretended to know nothing.

You're playing dumb on purpose, aren't you?

Woman, are you trying to get This Seat's attention?

"Pfft—!!!"

Ning Wen finally lost his composure and nearly spat out a mouthful of blood!

Damn it, this is killing me. Is this Voice Pack here to make me laugh?

One moment, it was talking about defying fate for love and being parted forever in a tragic romance.

The next, it switched straight to cheesy lines from an overbearing CEO?!

Its state of mind was honestly a little terrifying!

"Woman???"

Ning Fengzhi and the others looked baffled.

Xue Qinghe might have been approachable, but he was unmistakably a man.

The most shaken person there, however, was Qian Renxue herself!

Her entire body went rigid, and her mind went blank.

Woman?

Trying to get your attention?

Why was it starting again?

"It's nothing. I was just asking."

A vein throbbed on Qian Renxue's forehead. The composure she had cultivated for over a decade had been utterly shattered by this six-year-old brat today!

Woman, put away your little schemes. Before This Seat, every attempt to test me is futile.

Did you really think This Seat couldn't see through such a petty trick?

You're still far too inexperienced!

Qian Renxue's expression stiffened slightly.

This little brat saw what I was trying to do?

Damn it, and he called me inexperienced?!!

Qian Renxue was deeply displeased with that judgment.

She had lain low for decades and was on the verge of accomplishing the monumental feat of seizing an entire empire on her own!

This Seat has witnessed the rise and fall of countless ages and schemes spanning the heavens. Your little plot is mere child's play.

Ning Wen: "..."

Right. It was showing off again.

Still, compared with the cheesy declarations of love and overbearing CEO lines, he thought this was actually pretty good.

At the very least, it was not nearly so hard for him to stomach.
