Qian Renxue's Change of Heart (Please Bookmark and Request Updates)

Blue Star!

Qian Renxue's brows furrowed, then relaxed. A strange look crossed her beautiful face. She had suddenly realized that her mind was clearer than ever before.

Back on the Douluo Continent, Tang San had kept springing to mind whether she wanted him to or not, as though someone were forcing those two words into her head.

But since arriving on Blue Star, she seemed to have broken free of some invisible shackles. Was it because of the Higher-Dimensional Space?

It was as though her mind had been washed clean with clear water.

Not a speck of dust remained.

Qian Renxue kept asking herself,

How could I ever have fallen for Tang San? He's the son of the man who murdered my father. Am I really such a big-breasted, empty-headed woman? I even considered trading the lives of Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo for his loyalty.

During the Heaven Dou Palace Coup, I had chances to kill Tang San. But I kept going soft on him and gave him the chance to strike back. Was something interfering with my judgment?

I crossed a Higher-Dimensional Space. After that, nothing seems impossible.

Xiao Ran watched Qian Renxue's brows knit and smooth out again. He thought she was struggling with herself.

After all, in the story of the Douluo Continent, Qian Renxue had seemed bewitched by love. She had once liked Tang San. Now that she knew he had destroyed Spirit Hall, ruined her godhood, and killed her mother, she had to be falling apart.

Xiao Ran said nothing to disturb her. He let her work through it herself.

Instead, he took out his phone, opened the Food Delivery Platform, and prepared to order himself a meal.

Just as he was about to place the order,

Xiao Ran glanced up at Qian Renxue.

He could hardly eat while she sat beside him with nothing but the sight of it.

So he ordered two portions.

He placed the order and paid.

Then he tossed his phone aside.

Qian Renxue looked over curiously. Seeing the rectangular phone, she asked,

"What is that? It lit up just now!"

"It's a phone," Xiao Ran explained casually. "Well... it's a bit like the Soul Tools on your Douluo Continent. It's a special tool that lets you contact someone thousands of miles away. You can also play games and watch videos on it."

Qian Renxue's eyes widened in astonishment. Contact someone thousands of miles away? Wasn't that a divine miracle?

This really was a Higher-Dimensional Space!

On the Douluo Continent, even a Peerless Douluo could not do that, yet an ordinary person here could.

Xiao Ran found her wide-eyed expression adorable. He smiled and said,

"Looks like you've figured things out."

"A moment ago, you were demanding to know who destroyed Spirit Hall. Now that you know who did it, you've calmed down instead."

"Tang San only became a god because you spared him several times. Otherwise, he'd have died long ago. You felt something for him..."

Qian Renxue was mortified. That really had happened during the Heaven Dou Palace Coup. Hearing Xiao Ran bring it up felt like having him strip her bare to her face.

"Stop it! I really don't feel anything for him!"

"Before, it was like someone was controlling me. The name Tang San kept forcing its way into my head. Now that I'm in a Higher-Dimensional Space, those shackles are gone. I can finally think clearly about the past."

"He's the son of the man who murdered my father and the chief culprit behind Spirit Hall's destruction. All I feel for him is a burning desire to kill him. If I return to the Douluo Continent, I'll kill him with my own hands."

Qian Renxue bristled with killing intent.

Xiao Ran nodded thoughtfully. "When you were on the Douluo Continent, you were a character in a book to us on Blue Star. You had to serve the plot—or fate. In a sense, you really were being controlled."

"Now that you're on Blue Star, the person writing the Douluo Continent can't interfere with you anymore. Tang San is the protagonist he wrote, blessed by destiny and surrounded by good fortune. That's probably why you made so many foolish decisions."

Qian Renxue pressed her lips into a thin line. The thought made her deeply uncomfortable. She had been controlled on the Douluo Continent.

"If he dares control my fate, I'll make him pay," she said fiercely. "I, Qian Renxue, will decide my own destiny."

Then Qian Renxue looked at Xiao Ran with curiosity. "You said Tang San is the protagonist of the Douluo Continent. Can you tell me in detail how he came to hold the power of two gods?"

Xiao Ran leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs.

The delivery had not arrived yet. He had plenty of time to chat with Qian Renxue.

"All right, let's talk about Tang San. But first... tell me what you were doing right before you crossed over. I need to know where you are in the story."

Qian Renxue scratched her cheek with slender, jade-white fingers. Her gaze drifted as she said,

"The Heaven Dou Palace Coup had just ended. Tang San ruined the plan I'd spent twenty years putting together."

Xiao Ran's eyes widened. The story had already reached its later stages. If Qian Renxue had not crossed over to Blue Star, she would have gone down the same old path.

Since she was here, he might as well tell her everything. If she crossed back, she might still have a chance to kill Tang San.

"I'm sure you've already investigated most of Tang San's first eighteen years."

"So I'll start after the Heaven Dou Palace Coup. Tang San drove you away, saved Xue Ye's life, and obtained the Heaven Dou Empire's national treasure, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud."

"At the same time, Tang San knew he wasn't strong enough and wanted to grow stronger. On Yu Xiaogang's advice, he gathered his companions—the Shrek Seven Devils—and headed west to Vast Sea City. They sailed from there and, after overcoming one danger after another, reached Sea God Island."

"Yu Xiaogang only knew about Sea God Island because of your mother, Bibi Dong. Spirit Hall had once campaigned against the island, probably over matters of faith. If Bibi Dong hadn't told Yu Xiaogang about it,"

"a good-for-nothing like Yu Xiaogang, who was over fifty and still stuck at level twenty-nine, would never have known anything about Sea God Island."

"Sea God Island is where the Sea God's legacy is passed down. The Soul Masters and Soul Beasts there all worship him. Mainland Soul Masters like Tang San have to undergo trials when they arrive."

"The Shrek Seven Devils were all talented. Most received the Black Level Five Trials or Black Level Six Trials, and one even received the Red Level Seven Trials. Tang San received the highest of all: the Sea God Nine Trials."

"The Sea God of your Douluo God Realm isn't much for responsibility. He's wanted to leave for a long time. Gods may live forever, but eternal life is terribly dull. They can't leave the Divine Realm until they pass on their godhood, so the Sea God chose Tang San."

"Over about four years, Tang San passed the first seven trials and grew much stronger. The Eighth Trial required him to resurrect Xiao Wu, who had sacrificed herself for him, so he returned to the mainland."

"By then, Bibi Dong had led Spirit Hall in founding the Spirit Hall Empire."

"Spirit Hall had deeply infiltrated the principalities and kingdoms under the Heaven Dou and Star Luo empires. When it founded the Spirit Hall Empire, those principalities and kingdoms joined it outright, creating a colossus that could stand against Heaven Dou and Star Luo."
