Chapter 37: First meeting with Qian Renxue, a suffocating beauty! "Hyah!"
Ye Han, Ling Yuan, and Xiao Wu.
Following Qian Daoliu, they boarded a luxurious carriage.
The horses kicked up dust as they galloped toward Heaven Dou City.
The carriage compartment was spacious enough that all four naturally sat together.
Yet the atmosphere inside seemed to have been cleaved in two.
Ye Han and Qian Daoliu occasionally exchanged a few quiet words.
Their words were full of anticipation for and concern about Qian Renxue.
Xiao Wu and Ling Yuan were different, each worrying about something of her own.
Ling Yuan looked somewhat forlorn, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.
Given her relationship with Ye Han, she could hardly avoid feeling uneasy about meeting his rightful partner.
Aside from the pain in her back, Xiao Wu was troubled by Qian Daoliu.
She could clearly sense that Qian Daoliu was far stronger than Da Ming and Er Ming.
He was even considerably stronger than Bibi Dong, who had killed her mother back then.
Now she finally understood why her master dared not act rashly while undercover in Spirit Hall.
It turned out that Spirit Hall actually had such a terrifying powerhouse hidden within it.
She silently resolved to remain vigilant before a powerhouse like him.
If anything went even slightly wrong, at best she would lose her life; at worst, she would implicate her master!
"Ah, hahaha..."
Noticing the strange atmosphere, Qian Daoliu spoke as though to break it:
"Ling Yuan, is this the new disciple you mentioned taking in?"
Ling Yuan composed herself and immediately nodded.
"Reporting to the Great Enshrined, she is."
As she spoke, she nudged Xiao Wu with her elbow, and Xiao Wu dutifully said:
"G-greetings, Great Enshrined. My name is Xiao Wu, with Wu meaning dance."
Qian Daoliu nodded in satisfaction. She seemed quite obedient, though a little afraid of people.
Yet he kept vaguely sensing something strange about her, though he could never see through it.
"Great Enshrined, is something wrong?"
Ye Han noticed and asked, somewhat flustered.
Qian Daoliu quickly shook his head and smiled.
"No, no. She seems like quite an obedient girl."
"Xiao Han, as her senior brother, you must take good care of her from now on."
"I just wonder whether Xiao Xue will get jealous if you do, hahahahaha."
After several days of travel.
Ye Han and his companions finally reached Heaven Dou City.
Heaven Dou City, as the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Its prosperity far surpassed that of any other city within the empire.
Shops lined both sides of the streets, which bustled with a boiling sea of voices.
The carriage slowly entered the city and finally stopped before a luxurious hotel.
The hotel was lavishly decorated, its nobility and distinction evident everywhere.
"We're here."
Qian Daoliu stepped out first and spoke softly.
This was precisely where they had arranged to meet Qian Renxue.
After stepping out, Ye Han and the others followed Qian Daoliu inside.
As they entered the resplendent lobby, the hotel receptionist asked casually:
"You four, checking in or what?"
Qian Daoliu spoke indifferently in a low voice:
"Take us to private room 9527."
Upon hearing the room number, the receptionist's disdain vanished without a trace, and he became like a fawning lapdog:
"Hehe, honored guests, this way, please! This way, please!"
Just like that, the group was soon led to the ninth floor.
The extravagance of this floor surpassed even that of the lobby below.
All manner of precious gems were inlaid in the corridor walls, dazzling the eyes. As they approached the entrance to private room "9527," they saw two men in golden armor standing guard outside.
Ye Han recognized them at a glance. They were the elders protecting Qian Renxue, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo!
They stood tall and straight, exuding an impressive presence. Their Soul Power Levels should have been ninety-two or ninety-three.
Qian Daoliu gave the receptionist a look, and he immediately took the hint and left.
Seeing this, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo immediately approached and bowed respectfully:
"Greetings, Great Enshrined!"
They also nodded to their fellow elder, Ling Yuan, in greeting.
Then their gazes swept over Ye Han and Xiao Wu before finally settling on Ye Han.
Looking at this boy who seemed too frail to withstand a gust of wind, both men frowned and silently speculated.
Could this boy be the future live-in husband the young mistress mentioned, the one with twin demigod-grade Martial Souls?!
"Mm, thank you for your efforts over these years. Lead us inside."
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
Hearing this, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo hurriedly bowed in response:
"It is our honor to serve Spirit Hall and the young mistress!"
They then prepared to lead the way into the private room, only to remember something.
Their gazes suddenly shifted, landing together on the delicate, adorably vacant-looking Xiao Wu.
They seemed to be questioning who she was, whether she was qualified to enter the room, and whether her presence would cause any problems!
Frightened, Xiao Wu hid behind Ye Han, her two cute pink rabbit ears drooping.
Seeing this, Qian Daoliu chuckled and said:
"She is Elder Ling Yuan's newly accepted disciple."
"She has been obedient and gentle throughout the journey. There is no need for concern."
Only upon hearing this did Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo lead the way without worry.
Creak-!
Each pushed open one side of the door, then stood to either side and gestured for them to enter.
Qian Daoliu entered at the head of the group, with Ye Han following close behind, full of anticipation.
Upon entering, they saw an exquisitely beautiful golden figure standing sideways before the window ahead.
That golden figure had three thousand strands of long, golden hair cascading loosely down to her pert buttocks.
She wore an exquisite golden one-piece gown that outlined her alluring figure to the fullest.
Her slender willow waist seemed too delicate for even a light clasp, while her full, ample fruits looked ready to burst through her dress.
As the hem swayed gently, it revealed a pair of long, beautiful legs that could rival Xiao Wu's jade-like legs.
Her bearing was no less impressive than Bibi Dong's, holy and noble, like an immortal maiden descending into the mortal world.
Taken altogether, she was simply an angel of indescribable beauty, not to be offended or profaned!
Ye Han's gaze froze at that moment, completely immersed in that suffocating beauty.
Her face was like a meticulously carved work of art, every detail just right, perfect and flawless.
No wonder she was hailed as Douluo's greatest beauty. It would probably be difficult to find another beauty like her anywhere on the Douluo Continent.
Even Xiao Wu, following behind, immediately felt inferior the instant she saw Qian Renxue.
She had never imagined that someone so beautiful could exist in this world, making even her feel a trace of inferiority.
Sensing everyone's arrival, Qian Renxue slowly turned her head.
The first thing that met her eyes was Qian Daoliu's imposing, familiar figure.
"Grandpa!"
Qian Renxue cried out excitedly and hurried into Qian Daoliu's arms.
Tears instantly spilled from her eyes, clear and sparkling, rolling down like pearls as she choked out:
"Grandpa, I missed you so much! I really missed you!"
Qian Daoliu stroked her head, his eyes filled with affection.
"Xiao Xue, Grandpa missed you very much too."
Only after a good while of exchanging greetings did Qian Renxue remember the matter at hand.
Her gaze quickly swept over the others and settled on Ye Han.
"Grandpa, is this Ye Han?"
Qian Renxue immediately left Qian Daoliu's embrace and asked softly.
Qian Daoliu smiled and nodded, then looked at Ye Han, signaling for him to introduce himself.
Seeing this, Ye Han immediately raised his head to look at Qian Renxue, extended his hand, and smiled.
"Hello there, I'm your future live-in husband-Ye Han!"
The moment he said this, everyone present froze on the spot.
Clearly, none of them had expected this little fellow Ye Han to be so bold and direct.
