On the other side, halfway up the mountain
The two Peerless Douluo factions almost clashed again. If Lin Chen hadn't intervened in time, Qian Daoliu would have already ordered a desperate attack.
"Hehe..." Qian Daoliu smiled faintly, "Brother Tang, it seems things won't go as you wish today."
Tang Chen snorted coldly, "This time you breached the contract first. Don't think that our Clear Sky Sect will obediently close the mountain. If your Spirit Hall goes too far, our Clear Sky Sect will definitely stand up!"
"Walk!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Chen led the six Titled Douluo behind him and quickly left the mountainside.
After they left, Qian Daoliu glanced meaningfully at Enshrined Qian Jun, "Sixth brother, has the relationship between the Emperor and Xue'er become this good?"
"Uh... this..." Enshrined Qian Jun hurriedly explained, " Great Enshrined, it was my oversight. Perhaps the Emperor took advantage of our inattention to get close to Your Highness Xue."
"Alright!" Qian Daoliu said expressionlessly, "Things have come to this point, there's no use saying anything more, let's think about how to salvage the situation."
"I'm not afraid that Xue'er and the Emperor will become too close, but I'm afraid that Xue'er will lose her ambition. If that happens, the Spirit Hall will truly become hers..."
On the other side, on the way back to Heaven Dou
Qian Renxue sat in a luxurious carriage, surrounded by two rows of Heaven Dou royal guards clad in silver armor, as four fine horses pulled the carriage slowly along the official road.
"You stinking Lin Chen, you dead Lin Chen, you bastard!"
"Hehe..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a soft laugh came from inside the carriage.
Looking at the familiar figure in front of her, Qian Renxue first showed a hint of surprise, but it vanished in an instant. With her arms crossed and her pretty face cold, she said, "Why haven't you left yet?"
Lin Chen took out a flask of spirit wine from his storage ring and sighed softly, "You really want me to leave that badly? It's really breaking my heart~"
"Hmph~" Qian Renxue snorted lightly, "You have so many women, just find a few to 'massage' you a few times, that'll be enough."
Lin Chen poured himself a glass of wine and said softly, " Xue'er, Heaven Dou belongs to our Spirit Hall, we don't know when we'll meet again. It could be a few years, or it could be more than ten years. Won't you invite me for a drink?"
Qian Renxue hesitated for a long time, but still decided to take the cup of spiritual wine from his hand.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chen didn't hand it to her, but drank it himself.
"You!" Qian Renxue, her pale golden eyes glaring at him, her two little tiger teeth chattering.
Lin Chen took a big gulp, then pulled her over with his large hand and captured her soft lips.
Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she pounded her hands on his chest, but only for a few breaths before she went completely limp in his arms, her hands involuntarily wrapping around his neck.
Glug~ Glug~
After an incense stick had burned for a while, Qian Renxue drank the entire cup of wine from Lin Chen, some of it spilling from the corner of her mouth, running down her snow-white Swan neck, and flowing into the abyss...
Lin Chen slowly released the Xiao Tian from his arms, grinning mischievously, " Xue'er, now it's your turn to toast me~"
Qian Renxue her eyes at him, took a sip from the wine pot with her jade-like hand without any hesitation, and then offered it to Lin Chen.
Another incense stick burned
Qian Renxue pushed Lin Chen away, her pretty face flushed, and said, "You can go now. It's enough that I know how you feel."
"Hmm~" Lin Chen slowly stood up, leaving behind a tall and straight figure. "When we meet again, the Spirit Hall will be the only one left on this Douluo Continent."
"Once everything settles down, I want both you and Dong'er!"
Qian Renxue's heart trembled violently. She was about to say something, but the latter had already left.
That impulse slowly dissipated. Just now, she almost intended to give up everything—to give up Your Highness Xue the Spirit Hall, to give up her identity as the Heaven Dou Empress Regnant, and just be a beloved daughter by his side...
Mid-air, floating clouds
Lin Chen sat on Zi JI's dragon head, reminiscing about his moments with Qian Renxue. He was well aware of her feelings, but some knots in his heart could only be truly untied by releasing them.
So after Qian Renxue became his woman, he never brought up this issue again...
If you harbor resentment towards her, then so be it. I'll take it on for her and be your outlet for emotional outbursts! Once everything settles down, I don't care how you and your daughter feel; you'll both be my women.
If they are unwilling, then we will conquer them by force!
This is called "courtesy first, then force"...
"Master, where are we going now?"
Zi JI's voice interrupted Lin Chen's thoughts, and she said calmly, "Go to the Moonlight Pavilion Hall and pick them up together."
Yes~
Heaven Dou City, Moonlight Pavilion Hall
Since the death of Xue Ye, Moonlight Pavilion Hall has suspended etiquette instruction, and its gates are tightly closed. Only a few graceful figures can be seen in the pavilion in the backyard.
In the back garden, in the pavilion
An elegant woman in a blue cheongsam sat gracefully on a wooden chair, her hair piled high, her stunning figure accentuating the cheongsam's perfect S-shape. Beside her sat a mature woman in a purple strapless mini-dress and a cool, beautiful woman in a dark green shawl.
These three women were Tang Yuehua, Dugu Yan, and Liu Erlong.
The song ended.
The aloof and beautiful woman standing to the side couldn't help but show a hint of envy. " Yuehua, your musical skills are truly exquisite; no wonder your husband can't forget you."
Dugu Yan looked at her expectantly. "Teacher Yuehua, how did Brother Chen pursue you back then? Tell us about it!"
Tang Yuehua's gentle face flushed slightly. "Actually... it's nothing much. We were mutually attracted to each other, and then we got together."
Dugu Yan shook her arm. "Oh, Teacher Yuehua, could you tell me what happened?"
Liu Erlong's beautiful eyes flashed, and she echoed, " Yuehua, I'm also a little curious about you and your husband."
"You... you guys~" Tang Yuehua lowered her head shyly.
Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes flickered. " Sister Long, Teacher Yuehua is a little shy. Why don't you tell us about your relationship with Brother Chen first?"
Liu Erlong's cool and pretty face flushed slightly, then she said calmly, "Actually... there's nothing to be embarrassed about, after all, Pope Sister and Xiao Wu both know."
Dugu Yan looked at her with a gossipy expression. "What's going on? What's going on?"
Liu Erlong then recounted the entire story of Xiao Wu's capture. "Actually, at first I wasn't that in love with my husband, but as time went by..."
Dugu Yan nodded. "I see."
"Teacher Yuehua, it's your turn! It's your turn!"
Tang Yuehua blushed and whispered, "My experience was similar to Erlong's. At first, my husband asked me to teach him to play the zither, but then..."
Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes flashed. "Oh~ so Teacher Yuehua and Brother Chen's relationship was developed through teaching the piano~"
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Yuehua became even more shy, her chin almost buried in her magnificent figure.
Liu Erlong chuckled and crossed his arms, " Yanyan, don't just keep talking about Yuehua, you haven't told us about yours yet~"
"Ah~~?" Dugu Yan's pretty face showed a hint of surprise and shyness. She quickly got up and tried to slip away. "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. Sister Long, Teacher Yuehua, I'll go back first."
