With just three sentences, I made Qian Renxue obey my every word

Qian Renxue said expressionlessly, "Tell me exactly what happened just now. Don't leave out a single detail."

Snake Lance Douluo She Long and Porcupinefish Douluo Ci Xue stood before her, trembling despite being Titled Douluo who stood at the pinnacle of the world.

They recounted everything they had seen, leaving nothing out.

First, Xiao Yao and Xiao Wu had appeared here, and then the Holy Wing of Light had arrived to avenge her husband.

Xiao Wu had changed outfits in a second and used an illusion-type Soul Skill to bring the Holy Wing of Light under her control.

Xiao Yao had revealed his Martial Soul, whose first Soul Ring was purple.

The first time he acted, he took away the dead Holy Wing of Light's soul, indirectly helping Qian Renxue resist its mental assault.

The second time he acted, he took away the living Holy Wing of Light, who vanished without a trace.

Had they not been watching from the sidelines, they would have doubted whether any danger had ever appeared here at all.

The more Qian Renxue heard, the more alarmed she became.

"That girl's outfit change should be a Soul Bone effect. It might be her torso bone, or even an External Soul Bone."

"As for that boy, his first Soul Ring is purple. It's simply inconceivable. In Spirit Hall's tens of thousands of years of history, nothing like this has ever been recorded."

"What he did afterward was even more miraculous. It looked like the abilities of certain Evil Soul Masters, yet my Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul didn't react at all."

"No, I have to talk to them again."

Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo looked troubled. "Young mistress, should we recruit them, or..."

They had refrained from acting earlier precisely because they were unsure of Qian Renxue's stance.

What if Qian Renxue considered Xiao Yao and Xiao Wu a threat to Spirit Hall, yet they treated them courteously?

What if Qian Renxue wanted to bring the two under her command, yet they met them with weapons drawn?

Neither would be a good thing.

"Of course we'll treat them courteously. We'll start as friends," Qian Renxue said without hesitation.

"Man, you've caught my attention."

Xiao Wu interlaced her fingers with Xiao Yao's and said softly:

"Brother Xiao Yao, who was that woman? Will she really come after us?"

An inscrutable smile hung on Xiao Yao's face.

"Her? Someone in disguise. As for whether she'll come after us, only she knows. If she really does catch up later, don't give us away."

"OKK, I guarantee I'll have her firmly in the palm of my hand." Xiao Wu even used the repeated letters Xiao Yao had taught her.

Just then, the sound of something cutting through the air approached from afar, and three figures landed steadily in front of Xiao Yao and Xiao Wu.

They were none other than Qian Renxue and the two Titled Douluo.

Although they had only just parted, Xiao Yao still couldn't help praising her inwardly. Qian Renxue truly was an earthly enchantress.

Her features were exquisite yet full of heroic spirit, and her long golden hair reached her hips.

She had changed out of her court dress into an angelic battle dress and golden battle boots, with gold, white, and pink complementing one another.

Though there wasn't much fabric, she looked not the slightest bit lewd, only all the more holy.

Together with the pure white wings behind Qian Renxue, she truly looked somewhat like an angel descended to earth.

Qian Renxue was pleased with Xiao Yao's reaction. Sending Snake Lance and Pufferfish away so she could change had not been in vain; seizing his attention first was precisely her aim.

Yet his reaction also irritated her somewhat.

Xiao Yao frowned. Although his expression couldn't quite be called disgusted, it was hardly friendly either.

"Why are you here again?"

Can't you stop pestering me?

Though he hadn't said it, that was how Qian Renxue felt.

Her smile immediately stiffened, and a nameless fire rose in her heart, making her already ample chest heave.

Sensing something was amiss with his young mistress, Snake Lance Douluo hurriedly stepped in front of her.

"Young friend, please wait. After giving it much thought, our young mistress still wanted to express her gratitude, so she came after you especially."

Xiao Yao was about to send them away again when Xiao Wu stepped in.

"This big sister came all this way after us, Brother Xiao Yao. Don't keep her a thousand miles away."

The first move in fooling Qian Renxue: one played good cop, the other bad cop.

To draw Qian Renxue's attention, Xiao Yao had played the role of an arrogant youth who held his eyes above his head and disdained everyone else from the very beginning.

Qian Renxue herself was also proud. Even if Xiao Yao stirred her competitive spirit, she wouldn't tolerate him again and again.

At a time like this, someone had to step forward and give them both a way to step down.

That someone was Xiao Wu.

With Xiao Wu speaking up, Xiao Yao naturally softened his attitude. "There's no need for thanks. Those two old servants beside you could have kept you safe and sound anyway."

"When you put it that way, I was just painting legs on a snake."

Qian Renxue also composed herself and stepped out from behind Snake Lance Douluo.

"Those are two different things. You didn't know they were there when you acted, which means you simply wanted to help me. That's what I want to thank you for."

"By the way, they said you barely lifted a finger and captured a ten-thousand-year Holy Wing of Light. How did you do it?"

Xiao Yao had long since prepared his answer.

"My Soul Skill teleported the living Holy Wing of Light somewhere far away, along with the dead Holy Wing of Light's soul."

"After she was teleported there, she sensed the soul's presence and mourned him, forgetting about revenge."

Spatial teleportation was an extremely rare skill, but compared with detention and sealing, it was easier for Qian Renxue and the others to believe.

"So that's how it was." She smiled slyly.

"So you were specifically helping me, rather than each of us getting what we needed, right?"

As though she had exposed him, Xiao Yao turned his back in embarrassed anger and snorted.

The second move in fooling Qian Renxue: welcoming while resisting.

The role Xiao Yao was playing now was a youth with a cold exterior and a warm heart, who was also a little tsundere and awkward.

On the one hand, he had indeed helped the girl; on the other, he stubbornly refused to admit it, insisting he had done it for himself.

That sort of contrast was the easiest way to win a woman's favor.

This move worked very well too. The initial anger in Qian Renxue's eyes had already turned to amusement.

At first, her impression of Xiao Yao had been of a youth with some ability who was nevertheless wild and unruly.

After hearing Snake Lance and Pufferfish's account, Xiao Yao had gained two more halos: "mysterious" and "powerful."

Even now, those halos remained, but he had also gained the label of "a child who hadn't grown up yet," making a woman like Qian Renxue, who considered herself both powerful and charming, like him even more and want to possess him.

For now, however, he had only secured Qian Renxue's goodwill. To go a step further and become close friends who could talk about anything, he still needed the final move.

"I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Xue Ke, and these two are my guards. What about you?" Qian Renxue asked.

Xiao Yao maintained his tsundere manner, leaving Xiao Wu to answer. "I'm Xiao Wu, and this is my older brother, Xiao Yao. These two grandpas are both very powerful. You must be someone special, big sister."

"Yes, they're both Soul Saint-level experts." Rather than reveal her own identity, Qian Renxue mentioned the strength of the two men behind her.

Xiao Yao was inwardly speechless.

Xue Ke? Xue Ke hasn't even awakened her Martial Soul yet, has she? Aren't you afraid of being exposed, using her name like that?

And two "Soul Saints"? So you're confident they can conceal themselves?

Fine. Since you don't want to expose yourself, I'll play along.

"Xue Ke, since you've already thanked us and we've introduced ourselves, can we leave now?"

"The mountains are high and the roads long. May we never meet again in the jianghu."
