"So, if you aren't confident, don't act recklessly. You can give up. If you insist on making a move and die, then that's your fate."
Bibi Dong also looked solemn as she deliberately tried to persuade him. "Xiao Ye, a level 65 Spirit Emperor is still far too much for you right now. On top of that, Li Yuanba is an extremely brutal and vicious man. Once you're no match for him, you'll undoubtedly die. It's not too late to regret it now. You don't need to risk your life over this!"
Chu Ye looked at Qian Renxue and said, "Xue'er, are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid."
"Good." Chu Ye nodded, his gaze firm as he looked at Bibi Dong. "Teacher, my mind is made up. You don't need to persuade me anymore."
"Heh heh heh, a Soul Grandmaster and a Soul Elder actually dare to go kill a Spirit Emperor! You two juniors really don't fear death. When the time comes, don't cry and beg for someone to save you." Snake Lance Douluo said with a hint of mockery.
A Soul Grandmaster and a Soul Elder joining forces to kill a Power Attack System Spirit Emperor? Snake Lance Douluo did not believe for a second that they could do it.
The Title Douluo present also felt it was not very likely.
In Snake Lance Douluo's eyes, Chu Ye's current determination was nothing more than refusing to cry until he saw the coffin. When the time came for a true life-and-death battle, he would learn what real fear and terror were.
Many people only knew regret when they were truly about to die. Snake Lance was very much looking forward to seeing Chu Ye come fleeing back in utter panic after being scared witless by that Spirit Emperor.
Chu Ye was extremely annoyed and said with a speechless look, "Why are you everywhere!? You have to butt in every single time. Will you die if you don't speak? Snake Spear Elder!"
"You!!"
Snake Lance Douluo instantly became so angry his teeth itched again, his fury blazing to the heavens, but considering the situation, he could only force himself to endure it and grit his teeth. "Fine! Fine! Kid, you'd better complete the mission smoothly and come back!"
The conflict between the two of them worsened violently once more, but Chu Ye did not care anymore. It was already like this; worsening it further would not make much difference.
He ignored Snake Lance Douluo and said loudly, "One month from now, we will come back carrying Li Yuanba's head!"
"Let's go! Xue'er."
Chu Ye turned and left.
Looking at the boy's carefree departing back, a blissful smile appeared on Qian Renxue's face. She stepped forward and caught up with Chu Ye.
The two of them had come side by side, and left side by side.
"Chu Ye, when are we setting off?"
"There's no time like the present. Let's go today."
"Okay, then I'll go back and pack my luggage~"
"Mm-hmm, go on. Once you've packed, we'll meet directly outside the Pope's Palace gate."
"Okay~"
The two temporarily parted ways, each returning to their own home to pack.
Chu Ye basically had nothing much to prepare. He brought two sets of clothes to change into, underwear and the like, as well as some poisons he had made.
Then he called over the coachman and carriage specially serving the Pope's Palace and waited at the entrance.
As he waited and waited, nearly an hour passed without him realizing it. Seeing that Qian Renxue still had not arrived, Chu Ye gave a small helpless sigh. "Sigh, Xue'er, why are you so slow?"
"Can packing a little luggage really take this long?"
However, as a boy, there was nothing wrong with waiting a little longer for a girl. Chu Ye waited patiently.
Soon, Qian Renxue finally came out.
She had light makeup on her face and wore a snow-white dress, white stockings, and white shoes. It was obvious that she had dressed up carefully.
"Mm?"
Chu Ye stared for a moment, slightly dazed. Qian Renxue, after dressing up carefully, was especially beautiful, like a celestial maiden. The brilliant smile on her face seemed to melt his heart.
Qian Renxue was already gradually gaining the charm and flavor of an adult girl. Her chest had already begun to develop, her figure was getting better and better, and her hips were becoming more and more perky.
She was becoming increasingly sexy and enchanting, carrying a woman's charm and allure.
Chu Ye suddenly realized that Qian Renxue was already gradually about to transform from a girl into a woman.
"That's right. Time passes too quickly. I didn't even notice that Xue'er is eleven years old now, already a little woman." Chu Ye shook his head and smiled.
When they were together every day, it was actually hard to feel much change. Many times, it was only in a sudden moment that he felt the familiar her had grown up. (Author: Just mentioning it, people develop faster in Douluo World, right? Eleven years old can probably be viewed as thirteen, fourteen, or fifteen. Just look at Zhu Zhuqing when she first appeared. Twelve years old, and with that development, her figure was plenty full and fiery.)
"Chu Ye, I'm here. You waited a long time, right~" Qian Renxue said with a bit of apology.
"It's fine, it's fine. I only waited a little while."
Qian Renxue's face reddened slightly as she asked somewhat shyly, "Then do you think this dress of mine looks good?"
Chu Ye carefully looked her over and gave a very fair evaluation. "Of course it looks good! You look good in anything. But Xue'er, we're going to carry out a mission, not go play. Why dress so beautifully?"
"This is our first time traveling far away. Although it's a mission, it can still count as a trip."
"Fine, fine, then let's get in." Chu Ye scratched his head.
"Mm."
After the two stepped onto the carriage and sat down, the coachman asked, "Young Master Qian Renxue, Young Master Chu Ye, are we going directly to Nuoding City?"
"Yes!"
"Alright! Then we're off."
The coachman drove the horses, and the carriage quickly began leaving the Pope's Palace.
In the carriage, Qian Renxue chatted, "Hey, Chu Ye, do you think Grandfather and the others really won't send anyone to protect us in secret?"
"Heh, they were just scaring us. They deliberately said that only because they wanted us to give up. If we truly encounter danger, they won't be willing to let us die." Chu Ye smiled. He was extremely certain of this.
In his memory, in the Douluo World without Chu Ye, the three of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, always had someone secretly protecting them whenever they went to dangerous places.
Chu Ye's talent was the greatest among all of Spirit Hall's disciples, and on top of that, he was Bibi Dong's personal disciple. On this trip, it was impossible for there to be no one protecting him in secret, let alone with Spirit Hall's Young Master Qian Renxue also present.
How could they possibly let the two of them get into trouble?
Weren't those elders just trying to scare Chu Ye and Qian Renxue because they were young?
"That's true." Qian Renxue nodded.
"Although someone is protecting us in secret, we still have to treat them as nonexistent in our minds, because if the person protecting us in secret makes a move, that also means our mission has failed."
"Mm, I understand."
"Speaking of which, Xue'er, have you ever killed anyone?" Chu Ye suddenly asked.
Qian Renxue's heart skipped a beat, and she shook her head. "No."
If someone had never killed before, their first kill would definitely be very hard to adapt to. They might hesitate, or be unable to make the move.
Killing people and killing soul beasts were completely different in meaning, and the psychological impact was also completely different.
To avoid this kind of situation happening when the time came—hesitation, being unable to act, not being resolute enough or decisive enough, and missing an excellent opportunity—Chu Ye had to emphasize this point. Although he himself might also be affected.
While speaking for Qian Renxue to hear, he was also speaking for himself.
"Xue'er, listen carefully. According to the information your grandfather gave us."
