Yang Podi was unaware of the changes at the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, and even less aware that the Silver Dragon King had been born. He was still preoccupied with his future plans.
Judging from the current situation, those Ferocious Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest shouldn't show themselves again. Even if they do occasionally appear, it'll be Di Tian leading the way. This Asura God Assessment is getting increasingly troublesome; how can I complete it if I can't find Ferocious Beast?
Bibi Dong absorbed the Titan Giant Ape's Soul Ring for a full three days, much longer than expected. It's likely that the Titan Giant Ape's Soul Ring energy is already comparable to that of an ordinary Ferocious Beast, given the Titan Giant Ape's exceptionally noble bloodline.
Bibi Dong and her group of Soul Master somehow found a Healing System Soul Saint. This Soul Saint didn't treat the Titled Douluo; instead, he treated the unconscious Sky Azure Bull Python, fearing that the Sky Azure Bull Python would die prematurely and waste its Soul Ring.
The numerous Titled Douluo surrounded Bibi Dong Bibi Dong tightly, fearing that she would be disturbed while absorbing the Soul Ring, and were especially wary of Yang Podi.
That day, Qian Renxue suddenly approached Yang Podi: "Let's take a walk, I have something I want to ask you?"
The many Titled Douluo looked at Yang Podi with curiosity, especially Chrysanthemum Douluo, who even let out a series of strange laughs, making Yang Podi really want to slap Chrysanthemum Douluo to death.
Even though Yang Podi was known for his thick skin, he couldn't resist the intense gossip from the crowd and eventually had no choice but to leave with Qian Renxue, feeling rather embarrassed.
After the two arrived at a grove of trees, Qian Renxue, holding the Angel Holy Sword, looked somewhat nervous. " Yang Podi, how exactly do you plan to handle our matter?"
Yang Podi swallowed hard upon hearing this. "Miss Qian Renxue, we don't seem to have anything going on, do we? Why does your question sound so strange?"
Qian Renxue's face was frosty. "What do you mean we're fine? Back in the Rakshasa Secret Realm, you and I were clearly trapped in the same illusion. Have you forgotten what happened in that illusion?"
"Young Miss, you yourself said it was an illusion. Things in illusions shouldn't be taken seriously. Besides, it was just a trap set by the Rakshasa God. Now that we've left the trap, shouldn't we pretend nothing happened?"
Yang Podi was now starting to evade the question.
Qian Renxue seemed unusually angry, even gripping the Angel Holy Sword as if ready to draw it at any moment. "What do you mean by 'pretend nothing happened'? I, a girl, did that kind of thing with you in the illusion, and stayed with you in the illusion for decades. Is this how you, a grown man, treat me?"
Yang Podi stammered, "This, this, how should I put it? An illusion is still an illusion, and you can't take what happens in it seriously. Besides, I have a family now, and I really don't know how to handle this."
"Is it because you don't know how to handle this that you've been avoiding me from beginning to end? I even went to the Heavenly Pursuit Academy to look for you, but you were nowhere to be found?"
"Young Miss, I've always been a lazy person, and I really don't know how to face you, especially since I already have Lingling."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's face turned extremely gloomy. " Ye Lingling, you've only ever had Ye Lingling in your heart. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have let you form a team with Ye Lingling in the first place, and then none of this would have happened."
Yang Podi quickly explained, "This has nothing to do with Ye Lingling. It's all my fault. I never expected that this would happen when I borrowed your sword to go to the Rakshasa Secret Realm. Blame me if you must."
Qian Renxue raised a pretty eyebrow. "Of course I blame you. Tell me, whether it's figure, looks, or even Soul Power, in which aspect am I inferior to your Ye Lingling? Even now, you only want to protect her and don't even dare to look me in the eye."
Yang Podi hesitated for a moment before finally speaking slowly, " Qian Renxue, you are very good, perhaps even the most perfect girl in the world, but I am just an ordinary person. No matter what the circumstances, I only want to live, I only want my family and clan to live. I am not worthy of you."
Qian Renxue's face darkened upon hearing this, her gaze seemingly piercing Yang Podi. However, she ultimately smiled wryly, "Is this your true thought? I don't object to you being with Ye Lingling, but I want to be the dominant one, and she the submissive one."
Yang Podi's lips twitched slightly. He never expected that the usually arrogant young lady Qian Renxue would say such a thing, "This isn't quite right. I don't think the two of us are a good match."
Qian Renxue's face instantly turned cold. "What's inappropriate about it? You're Limit Douluo, one of the top five experts in the Douluo Continent, how can you have no manly spirit at all?"
Yang Podi was speechless for a moment. "Miss, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with masculinity. Shouldn't a man and a woman be mutually attracted and have feelings for each other?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue nearly struck with her sword, but she ultimately gritted her teeth and said, "So you've got your eye on me? We lived together in the illusion for decades, didn't you think about anything all this time? Isn't it a bit too late to say this now?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi was at a loss for words and could only remain silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Qian Renxue's face showed a hint of confusion. " Yang Podi, what are you worried about? What are you afraid of? Is there anything you can't say? We can face it together."
Yang Podi glanced at the sky and finally couldn't help but sigh.
To say that I don't like Qian Renxue would be a lie. Qian Renxue's figure, appearance, and talent are all top-notch in the Douluo Continent. Especially when I first watched the anime in my previous life, she was practically a goddess.
But thinking of Qian Renxue Qian Renxue's various brainless behaviors and her tragic end, Yang Podi was speechless.
Especially in the original novel, Qian Daoliu sacrificed himself in order to make Qian Renxue a god. The Spirit Hall Empire could be said to have gone all out. However, at this critical moment of life and death, Qian Renxue still showed mercy to Tang San many times because of her pride, which ultimately sowed the seeds of her later defeat.
If we were to describe Bibi Dong and Hu Liena, the three beauties of the Spirit Hall in the original work, as being love-struck, then Qian Renxue was simply brain-dead. For that little bit of pride, she destroyed the efforts of everyone in the Spirit Hall Empire.
Later, when he actually faced Qian Renxue, even when he faced Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, Yang Podi always kept his distance, fearing that he would be corrupted by this brainless little angel.
Yang Podi thought for a long time, and finally his gaze became extremely firm. " Xue'er, what is an angel in your eyes?"
