I'm Not His Biological Sister (Revised)

The incident at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena came to an end, and Shrek Academy returned in dejection. Xiao Wu was injured, Tang San was dazed, and Dai Mubai looked as though he had lost his soul. Yu Xiaogang asked Ning Rongrong and Oscar what had happened, but Ning Rongrong could not be bothered to explain, and Oscar found it difficult to speak. In the end, Master Yu could only ask his own young disciple, tearing open the boy's wounds.

Zhu Zhuqing left with Qian Renyue and had no intention of returning to Shrek. To look after her, Qian Renyue moved out of the academy dormitory. Guang Ling noticed that the feelings between the two girls were unusual. Before returning to the Worship Hall, he made a special trip to see Qian Renxue, told her what had happened at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, and asked her to investigate Qian Renyue's origins.

Qian Renxue agreed and immediately sent Snake Lance Douluo to handle it. As for Zhu Zhuqing, she used her identity as Crown Prince Qinghe to have her enrolled directly. However, Zhu Zhuqing had yet to reach level thirty, so in theory, she could not join Qian Renyue's class.

But after Guang Ling's repeated requests and reminders, Qian Renxue wrote a special letter, arranging for Zhu Zhuqing to enter Qian Renyue's class as Crown Prince Qinghe's sworn younger sister. After all, Zhu Zhuqing was already on the verge of reaching level thirty. With only one level between her and the requirement, the breakthrough would not take long.

In the academic affairs office, Meng Shenji had plenty of feelings about this. How did Crown Prince Qinghe keep acquiring another sworn younger sister every few days, and why did every one of them have to be squeezed into Heaven Dou Grade Class A? Still, this one was all right. She did not need special training, so he would not have to work overtime with her every day. Otherwise, he would be worked to death.

Meanwhile, after returning to the Worship Hall, Guang Ling deliberately concealed Qian Renyue's relationship with Tang San. He reported only on her recent circumstances and her battle record at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

With Qian Renyue right under Qian Renxue's nose, Qian Daoliu felt more reassured than anyone. Since he had chosen to let her go out and gain experience, he had no intention of interfering too much. He instructed Guang Ling to make certain that people protected her in secret, while he entered secluded cultivation for the time being.

With Qian Daoliu's orders in hand, Guang Ling generously dispatched several Soul Douluos to guard Qian Renyue. Since she still had another month before her holiday, he set off for the Far North, though no one knew what he intended to do there.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy

Through day after day and month after month of special training, Qian Renyue had grown accustomed to her daily workload. Meng Shenji, too, had come to regard overtime as one of life's pleasures. Qian Renyue had a solid foundation, and once her physical fitness improved, completing her tasks no longer took very long. This left Meng Shenji feeling thoroughly at ease, and sometimes he even kept one eye open and the other shut, letting her cheat a little.

As time passed, the two somehow became good friends. Neither Dugu Yan nor Zhu Zhuqing could figure out why, but both could not help sincerely admiring Qian Renyue and giving her a thumbs-up.

Night fell, and the autumn dew lay heavy. A cool breeze seeped into the room through the window that had not been shut tightly. Qian Renyue sat at her desk with the lamp on, propping up her little face as she skimmed through a book Yue Guan had brought her.

It was titled "A Soul Master's Cultivation Manual," and its author was Yu Xiaogang. The moment Qian Renyue opened it, several conspicuous words caught her eye-"There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters."

The instant she saw those words, she could not help closing the book and tossing it aside.

A few days earlier, she had sent Elder Yue Guan a letter by carrier pigeon, asking him to find a few useful books for her to read. Yue Guan understood her wishes immediately and went straight to Spirit Hall's library. Unfortunately, his luck that day had been poor, and he ran into Bibi Dong there. When Bibi Dong heard that he was choosing books for a distant relative, she immediately recommended this "A Soul Master's Cultivation Manual." Yue Guan had not intended to choose it at first, but since Bibi Dong had already handed it to him, he had no choice but to pack it up with the others and send it to Qian Renyue.

Aside from that book, Qian Renyue had read all the others carefully, especially the "Soul Beast Encyclopedia."

The fifty-thousand-year Netherworld Flower Emperor she had to kill for the God of Kindness's first trial was recorded in the encyclopedia. They usually hid deep within the Sunset Forest, but since Netherworld Flower Emperors generally possessed an invisibility skill, soul beasts of this kind were exceedingly difficult to find.

Thinking about how close the deadline for the God of Kindness's first trial was gave Qian Renyue a bit of a headache. Her soul power had been growing quickly these past few days, and her number of wins at the Great Soul Arena was about to surpass Yu Feng's. Knowing that he could no longer compete with her record, Yu Feng willingly surrendered his position as an official team member without complaint or regret. It was his first time seeing such a powerful girl, and he promptly became Qian Renyue's number-one fan, buying her snacks every day. Of course, Yu Tianheng paid for the snacks. His own family was not that wealthy, after all.

"Yueyue, are you still reading?" Zhu Zhuqing emerged from the bathroom and immediately spotted Qian Renyue sitting at her desk with her back to her. "It's getting late. Take a bath and go to bed."

She glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already ten at night. Wrapped in a white bath towel with a pink hair-drying cap on her head, her fair skin looked especially alluring beneath the soft light. Moisture lingered on her damp face, making it resemble a freshly peeled egg. With her tender white skin and delicate, petite features, she looked flawless from every angle.

"It's still early. I was planning to read a little longer..."

Qian Renyue turned around and was instantly struck speechless.

Her eyebrows lifted, and her eyes lit up as she stared unblinkingly at Zhu Zhuqing's perfect, S-curved figure before her.

She swallowed, thinking that if she were a man, she would absolutely marry Zhu Zhuqing and bring her home.

Under Qian Renyue's stare, Zhu Zhuqing grew a little embarrassed. Her eyes darted away, and a faint blush rose to her face. "Y-Yueyue?"

"Ah..." Realizing she had lost her composure, Qian Renyue hurriedly withdrew her somewhat "perverted" gaze. She gave a light cough to ease the awkwardness. "Your figure is just too good. I'm a teeny-tiny hundred-million bits jealous."

Jealous?

Zhu Zhuqing's dark eyes shifted up, down, and from side to side. Instinctively, she looked up at Qian Renyue's somewhat flat figure, then lowered her eyes to her own rising peaks. Whatever crossed her mind, her cheeks suddenly flushed crimson, and she went completely mute.

The atmosphere between them was both awkward and intimate. At that moment, Qian Renyue suddenly understood why everyone liked living with beautiful women with good figures. This feast for the eyes was no ordinary treat.

Still, this was not the time to feast her eyes. She opened the cabinet in front of her, took out a towel, and tossed it to Zhu Zhuqing. "Your hair-drying cap is wet. Hurry and change it."

"Ah, okay!" Zhu Zhuqing caught the towel and came back to her senses, though her face was still a little flushed.

Only after drying her hair did she sit beside Qian Renyue. She sat quietly and pressed her lips together, looking as though she had something to ask. Noticing the gaze of the girl beside her, Qian Renyue could not help turning to look at Zhu Zhuqing. "What's wrong?"

She asked.

"I..." Zhu Zhuqing blinked nervously. Her hesitant manner piqued Qian Renyue's interest. "If there's something you want to ask, go ahead. As long as I can answer it, I'll tell you."

Qian Renyue spoke with a smile. Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flickered, but she still hesitated. She gently bit her lip, countless complicated emotions filling her gaze. "Yueyue, do you really hate Brother San that much? You even changed your surname."

Hate? Surname?

The smile on Qian Renyue's face deepened, leaving Zhu Zhuqing unable to read what she meant. "I personally hate him very much. There's no question about that. As for my surname, I'm not his biological sister, so there's no reason for me to share his surname."

"You're not his biological sister?" Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat surprised. This was the first time she had learned of it. Back when she and Qian Renyue had been close, she had never specifically looked into the matter. Only after Qian Renyue disappeared, then returned and clashed with Xiao Wu, had she begun paying attention to it.

No wonder Tang San kept wavering. So Yueyue and Xiao Wu were both girls he had taken as his sisters.

"Of course I'm not his biological sister." Qian Renyue withdrew her gaze and said with a smile, "If I were, and he dared abandon me in the Star Dou Great Forest, his father would hammer him into a cripple!"

"His... father?"

Seeing that Qian Renyue showed no trace of sadness, Zhu Zhuqing felt reassured. As long as Qian Renyue had no lingering attachment to Tang San, she would not get hurt. As for a brother like that, Zhu Zhuqing would not want him even if he were given to her for free!

Mentioning Tang Hao seemed to remind Qian Renyue of something, and she fell silent for a moment.

Lately, she kept feeling as though someone had their eye on her. Could it be Tang Hammer?
