[We Make a Pretty Good Match!]

Qian Renxue was enveloped in a faint golden glow, a pair of golden wings unfurled behind her, and five soul rings pulsed beneath her feet.

She had now regained the peerless beauty of her true female appearance, and her fitted white combat outfit fully accentuated her shapely figure.

To Wei Fan, this woman was still just as alluring!

It was just a shame she had such a temper!

And he had never expected Qian Renxue to release her six-winged angel martial soul in front of him. Wasn't that exposing her identity?

Wasn't she being a little too reckless?

But after a moment's thought, he immediately understood why Qian Renxue had done it.

From Qian Renxue's perspective, he already knew that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was a woman. If he ever told anyone, that would truly expose her.

So she had chosen to lay her cards on the table!

Fine, no more pretending!

Without another word, Qian Renxue went straight on the attack!

Her wings beat, and she charged forward in a flash of golden light.

As she rushed toward him, the sacred energy of the six-winged angel gathered around her fist, and she blasted a mass of golden light at Wei Fan.

At the same time, a golden shield of light appeared in front of her.

Qian Renxue's first soul skill-Angel Assault!

It was unleashed!

Wei Fan stopped holding back, too. Silver light flashed in his left hand, and an icy-blue trident appeared in his grasp. He immediately swept it upward.

Boom!

The mighty trident instantly smashed the mass of golden light apart.

At the sight of the trident, Qian Renxue's expression changed slightly.

This guy really did have twin martial souls!

It looked like her guess had been spot-on, yet Grandpa had actually lied and told her otherwise.

That was going too far!

What shocked her most was Wei Fan's soul ring configuration. He actually had a red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?

Hadn't Ge Long said he had five black Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings?

How had that turned into such a terrifying configuration of four black and one red?

As commander-in-chief of the Heaven Dou Empire's armies and an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, Ge Long could not possibly have mistaken what he saw. The issue had to lie with Wei Fan.

Although she was shocked, the rhythm of her attacks did not falter...

"Fifth soul skill, Sacred Sword!"

At Qian Renxue's mental command, a golden angel mark lit up between her brows. At the same time, golden flames rose from her right hand and gradually condensed...

In the blink of an eye, a golden longsword appeared in her hand.

Clang!

The collision between trident and sword drew a long, narrow streak of sparks through the night. Amid the deafening crash, both of them were driven backward.

Qian Renxue glared fiercely at Wei Fan. This guy really was powerful. She was on the verge of breaking through to Soul Emperor, and she possessed a top-tier martial soul like the six-winged angel, yet she had gained no advantage over him whatsoever.

But the moment she remembered being pinned to the bed by Wei Fan that night, her fighting spirit surged. The second and third soul rings beneath her feet lit up simultaneously.

A wisp of golden light appeared on her body, spreading from her forehead to cover her entire body in an instant.

Bathed in the intense golden glow, Qian Renxue's eyes turned completely gold, and a golden phantom of a six-winged angel, slightly larger than herself, slowly emerged behind her.

The next instant, a golden trail of flame streamed behind Qian Renxue as she shot toward Wei Fan like a meteor chasing the moon.

Wei Fan's fourth soul ring quietly lit up. Three azure beams flashed along the blades of his trident, then enveloped his body.

Under the radiance of those three azure beams, Wei Fan's imposing aura and fighting spirit continued to climb, while all his attributes soared.

This was his fourth soul skill-Unyielding Will!

A soul skill that boosted his own abilities!

"Third soul skill, Tide of Perdition!"

Suddenly, seawater churned around Wei Fan, the waves roaring as they rose more than ten meters high in the blink of an eye.

At his mental command, the enormous waves swept toward Qian Renxue.

Rumble!

Rumble!

"Fourth soul skill, Angel Shield!"

The little angel on Qian Renxue's forehead lit up again, and a faint golden radiance suddenly poured out.

A strange, golden, glasslike barrier appeared around her body, holding back every one of the towering waves.

Just then, the surrounding air abruptly dropped to freezing, and an ice projectile suddenly shot out from behind the raging waves.

Crack!

Qian Renxue's golden barrier shattered under the blast. The ice projectile then struck her, and she felt a tremendous impact send her flying backward.

"Damn it!"

Was this the advantage of having two soul rings?

He had used the enormous waves as cover, then blasted her with a cannon!

Even as she flew backward, she was still thinking about how to turn the battle around.

But at that moment, she suddenly felt a large hand wrap tightly around her waist, sending a sensation like an electric shock through her body.

She turned to look...

Damn it!

That bastard Wei Fan!

He was taking advantage of her again!

"Don't move!"

"Come with me, quick!"

With his arm around Qian Renxue's waist, Wei Fan swiftly left the street. The very next instant after they departed, Elephant Armor City's guard knights arrived.

"How are you going to thank me?"

"If it weren't for me, your identity might well have been exposed today."

Only after making sure no one was around did Wei Fan reluctantly remove his arm from Qian Renxue's waist.

"Bastard!"

Qian Renxue gritted her teeth in fury. This bastard had taken advantage of her time and again, and now he actually wanted her gratitude.

Shameless scoundrel!

But he did have a point. If he had not whisked her away from that street, someone might already have discovered her.

"You've seen my martial soul. As for my identity, I shouldn't need to spell it out, should I?"

Qian Renxue cut straight to the point.

"That old man did mention he had a granddaughter. He even said we made a pretty good match!"

Wei Fan chuckled.

"Impossible!"

"There's no way Grandpa would tell you about me."

Qian Renxue refused to believe it.

Her existence was a closely guarded secret. Even within Spirit Hall, only a handful of people knew about her.

Even if Grandpa was on good terms with Wei Fan, he would never have told him about this.

"When I was in the Elder Hall before, I found a pink dudou, the kind a two- or three-year-old would wear. It even had a little angel embroidered on it. Very cute..."

"The Great Enshrined told me his granddaughter wore it when she was little!"

"But your grandpa never told me Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was his granddaughter. Our meeting was pure coincidence!"

Wei Fan recounted what had happened. If not for the matter of treating someone to a meal, he might never have come to Elephant Armor City.

"We both have something on each other now. You know the secret of my twin martial souls, and you know I went to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family to get the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud."

"And I know your true identity!"

"Neither of us says anything. How does that sound?"

He understood that this was precisely why Qian Renxue had revealed her identity to him: she wanted him to know she was from Spirit Hall, so he would not divulge her secret.

"No!"

"I'm getting the short end of the stick!"

Qian Renxue did not want to let Wei Fan off so easily. The reason she had attacked him today instead of calmly revealing her identity was that she simply could not swallow her anger.

"Then what do you want?"

"How about I lie down, and you lie on top of me for a while?"

If that was what she wanted, Wei Fan really would not mind.

"You..."

"Don't start fighting. You can't beat me!"

"You already took one cannon blast from me. If we keep fighting, you'll only take more. If you can't even walk afterward, don't blame me for not carrying you."

Seeing that Qian Renxue still refused to let it go, Wei Fan hurriedly spoke.

"You..."

"Just you wait!"

The more Qian Renxue thought about it, the angrier she grew. But she truly had no confidence that she could defeat Wei Fan now. And if they kept fighting and attracted anyone else, her identity would certainly be exposed.
