Ye Han's blunt words stunned everyone. Qian Renxue faced such a straightforward, impolite self-introduction.
Her brows knitted slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed through her beautiful eyes.
This greatly diminished her first impression of Ye Han.
"Ahahaha..."
Seeing this, Qian Daoliu hurriedly laughed to smooth things over:
"Xiao Xue, this child speaks frankly. As the saying goes, he's being 'sincere.'"
Qian Renxue understood that children spoke without restraint, so she did not intend to take it to heart and was about to say something.
Yet Ye Han had clearly caught the displeasure that had just flashed through Qian Renxue's eyes.
In fact, he had said those words deliberately, merely to test her reaction to him.
Now that he had achieved his goal, he naturally needed to use action to offset the poor impression he had just left.
Thus, just as Qian Renxue was about to respond with her own introduction, Ye Han instantly released his twin martial souls.
"Roar-!"
"Roar-!"
The Radiant Sacred Dragon and the Dark Sacred Dragon burst into view in an instant.
Deafening dragon roars accompanied them, echoing endlessly through the private room.
Light and darkness intertwined, forming a breathtaking sight, and space seemed to tremble.
Three dazzling purple soul rings revolved around Ye Han's body.
The presence of his rank-thirty-three soul power surged out, sweeping through every corner of the private room like a tide.
"Wh... what?!"
At this abrupt development, practically everyone present cried out in shock.
Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo reacted first, both exclaiming:
"They... they really are twin martial souls!"
"The Radiant Sacred Dragon and Dark Sacred Dragon martial souls!"
"Three purple soul rings! Rank-thirty-three soul power!"
As elders of Spirit Hall, what sort of genius Soul Master had they not seen?
Yet today, this little fellow Ye Han had overturned their understanding!
Gulp!
Qian Renxue was naturally no different, her face filled with astonishment.
Her alluring, delicate body beneath her golden dress trembled wildly.
Elder Ghost Leopard had indeed mentioned before that Ye Han had twin demigod-level martial souls.
But he had never told her that Ye Han's soul ring configuration was this terrifying!
Yet before she could make sense of that, she suddenly realized something else and cried out:
"Wait! Didn't you say they were twin 'demigod-level' martial souls? Then what's going on with this presence now?!"
"The presence they're giving off is clearly already close to god-level! They're only slightly inferior to my god-level martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel!"
Only upon hearing her startled questions did Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo notice.
Their mouths instantly fell wide open, as though an enormous basketball could fit inside.
For a moment, Qian Renxue and the two men's gazes all landed on Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu was dumbfounded as well, exclaiming with disbelief written all over his face:
"Wh... what's going on? Those two martial souls were clearly demigod-level before!"
In his anxiety, Qian Daoliu hurriedly looked at Ling Yuan and asked urgently:
"Ling Yuan, just what is going on?!"
Ling Yuan also looked utterly bewildered, having absolutely no idea what was going on.
She wondered whether it had been caused by taking immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well last time.
But the problem was that she had been taking an immortal herb herself then and had not noticed what Ye Han had done!
"Ahem!"
Remembering that he had forgotten to tell Sister Ling Yuan before, Ye Han immediately coughed softly.
Recalling the lie Ling Yuan had told Qian Daoliu a few days earlier, he decided to make use of it and spun a tale:
"Great Enshrined, do you remember Sister Ling Yuan telling you a few days ago about saving Dugu Bo?"
"Back then, Dugu Bo didn't just give Sister Ling Yuan an immortal herb. He gave me one too."
"After I ate that immortal herb, my martial souls changed like this. Isn't that right, Sister Ling Yuan?"
As Ye Han spouted nonsense, he looked at Ling Yuan with an utterly innocent face.
Ling Yuan went along with him and nodded, then joined in fabricating the story:
"Mm... yes. We were short on time last time, so I forgot to report this."
With Ye Han and Ling Yuan working together on this string of lies,
Qian Daoliu finally understood, an incredulous expression appearing on his face. Only then did Qian Renxue and the other two elders also look thoughtful.
With that confusion resolved, Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo immediately pressed impatiently:
"Then... then what exactly is going on with these soul rings?!"
Qian Renxue also awaited the answer with astonishment all over her face.
She very much wanted to know just how he had managed this.
However, before Ye Han could speak, Qian Daoliu immediately said:
"The soul rings... it's very likely because Xiao Han's martial souls are rather special."
Qian Daoliu was the Angel God's Great Enshrined.
Whether in strength or status, he stood at the pinnacle of the continent.
Thus, his words carried tremendous weight in everyone's hearts.
Qian Renxue and the others naturally believed him unconditionally, nodding in understanding.
Hearing this, however, Ye Han pursed his lips in displeasure.
The last time he had given this explanation, a flicker of suspicion had passed through Qian Daoliu's eyes.
At that time, he must also have guessed that this could not possibly be the reason.
He had probably refrained from questioning or exposing him then out of guilt toward Bibi Dong and a sense of indebtedness to her.
After all, once his own theory was introduced,
the set of Yu Dashi's theories that Bibi Dong promoted would be overturned.
When that happened, Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong would both become sinners to the entire continent, rats crossing the street that everyone cried out to beat!
Qian Daoliu was probably rushing to answer and saying this now because he was worried that Ye Han might let something slip.
Still, Ye Han himself had no choice now and could only agree.
After all, he was now also under threat from that madwoman Bibi Dong.
Once he had the means to openly fall out with Bibi Dong in the future, he would certainly reveal the truth.
That madwoman Bibi Dong and that piece of shit Yu Xiaogang, that adulterous pair-neither of them would meet a good end!!!
"Xiao Han."
Suddenly, Qian Renxue called softly.
Ye Han's talent far exceeded her imagination, and she had been utterly won over by him.
All those earlier poor impressions seemed to vanish like smoke at this moment.
Calling softly, she walked up to Ye Han and crouched down, gently stroking his head as she smiled:
"Hello there. Since this is our first meeting, let's introduce ourselves properly."
"My name is Qian Renxue, your future wife. You can call me Xiao Xue or Xue'er~"
Feeling her gentle touch, Ye Han could not help becoming entranced.
Who would not fall for such a peerless beauty?
Since ancient times, even heroes had struggled to pass the beauty's trial; that saying seemed especially apt at this moment.
Under Qian Renxue's gentle gaze, Ye Han spoke as though possessed, his words even more direct than before:
"Sister Xue'er, when can we get married?!"
At these words, everyone present froze again.
Worried that his precious granddaughter would become unhappy over this again, Qian Daoliu wanted to speak up to smooth things over.
Yet Qian Renxue did not look displeased as she had before, instead replying with a giggle:
"Hehe, get married? The day the continent is united will be the day we wed."
"If you want to marry me, you'll have to work hard to become stronger and stronger, and help me unite the continent in the future~"
Qian Daoliu and the elders present could not help being taken aback.
Her intention of encouraging Ye Han to become stronger this way was quite good.
But uniting the continent was immensely difficult. What if this little fellow Ye Han retreated in the face of that difficulty?
Just as Qian Daoliu was about to signal with his eyes for Qian Renxue to take back her words, Ye Han nodded firmly and said:
"Don't worry, Sister Xue'er. It's merely uniting the continent. What's so difficult about that?"
"In the future, I will personally unite the continent, make you my empress, and make you the happiest woman in the world!"
As those words fell, everyone present was shaken.
Qian Renxue could not help becoming entranced too, an unexpected sweetness filling her heart.
Ye Han took the opportunity to bring out the immortal herb, the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, and offered it to her, saying with deep affection:
"Sister Xue'er, this immortal herb is for you, as our-token of love!"
