Qian Renxue: Are You a Pervert?! Jin Yu: It's a Misunderstanding! I Really Wasn't Thinking Anything Lewd!

Jin Yu couldn't help swallowing.

His Martial Soul was almost touching the edge of Qian Renxue's Martial Soul. If it shifted any farther, there would be trouble.

Looking thoroughly awkward, he said, "Uh, well, that actually isn't a weapon..."

"Not a weapon? Then what is it?!" Qian Renxue froze, but quickly realized something. "Wait..."

Her heart instantly began racing, and her face turned scarlet in a flash.

"Ahhh! Bastard!"

Qian Renxue hurriedly shoved Jin Yu away, both embarrassed and furious. "Jin Yu, are you a pervert?! I was feeling miserable, and you were thinking about those lewd things!!"

"No! I wasn't thinking about anything like that!"

Jin Yu hurriedly explained.

He had been single since birth for over a dozen years and had never been this intimate with a girl. Suddenly, a beauty on Qian Renxue's level had thrown her arms around him, and he could feel her soft, warm body, the delicate sensation of her skin, and that indescribable fragrance.

What normal teenage boy could possibly have no reaction to that?!

"You weren't thinking about it?! Then why are you like this?!" Qian Renxue clenched her little fist and swung it straight at him.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't be rash! I really wasn't thinking anything lewd!"

"Don't try to talk your way out of this!"

Jin Yu promptly dodged.

Qian Renxue accidentally stepped on the little pearls she had shed. Her foot slipped, and she was about to fall to the ground.

Seeing this, Jin Yu immediately reached out and gave her a sharp pull.

Qian Renxue fell into Jin Yu's arms once more, her chest pressing heavily and tightly against his.

The sensation of that heavy pressure made Qian Renxue squeeze her legs together slightly. She couldn't help letting out a sound. "Mm~"

"Damn, this is killing me!" Jin Yu was having a hard time holding out.

They were face-to-face, so close that barely a fist's width separated them. They were on the verge of kissing.

They could even hear each other breathing clearly.

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere became very strange.

For some inexplicable reason, both Jin Yu's and Qian Renxue's hearts began racing, their breathing quickening, as though a little deer were bouncing around in their chests.

Now Qian Renxue was truly bashful. A strange feeling arose in her heart, and even her anger seemed to have faded. Blushing, she said, "You... quick, let go of me."

"Oh, oh! Okay!"

Jin Yu hurriedly let go.

Qian Renxue shyly turned her back to him.

She had been in a terrible mood just now and really had wanted someone to hug and lean on, so she had thrown her arms around him on impulse. But after what Jin Yu had done, all her sadness was gone.

"Whew!"

She composed herself and turned to Jin Yu. "All right, let's pretend none of that happened."

Jin Yu breathed a sigh of relief too.

"Come to think of it, I really do have to thank you. If you hadn't appeared, I would still have to keep up my disguise and stay in that Heaven Dou Imperial Palace I hated so much. It was because you appeared that I could come home and live a life of my own."

Qian Renxue was deeply grateful to Jin Yu. She held out her delicate hand, her expression utterly serious. "You're the key to changing our destinies! Jin Yu, let's join hands and change Spirit Hall's future from now on."

"You'll help our Spirit Hall change its fate of being destroyed!"

"We'll help you sweep away every obstacle in your world ten thousand years from now!"

Jin Yu grew serious too. "All right! But sweeping away my obstacles won't be easy."

Saying it wouldn't be easy was an understatement.

It would be as hard as ascending to heaven!

In the time and space of Douluo II, there was the God King Tang San, as well as the gods of the original Shrek Seven Devils.

Especially Tang San-that guy would ignore the Divine Realm's rules and interfere in the affairs of the mortal realm!

"Is that so?" Qian Renxue didn't know what this decision would bring, but she would do her best. "Jin Yu, let me go to your world with you in two months. I want to see what the world looks like ten thousand years from now."

"You'll have to ask the Great Enshrined. As long as he agrees, it's fine."

"All right, I'll ask Grandpa for his permission."

The two leaned over the balcony, letting the night breeze wash over them as they gazed at the starry sky. They continued talking and sharing their thoughts deep into the night.

Before they knew it, they had talked until daybreak.

Over the following period, Jin Yu devoted himself to comprehending the Crocodile Emperor Art and took turns receiving instruction from the seven Enshrined.

Time flew, and two months passed.

Jin Yu had almost comprehended the first level of the Crocodile Emperor Art. He would need one more month at most.

Under the seven Enshrined's guidance, he had also made great progress over those two months.

The day of Jin Yu's battle with Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan had arrived.

After this battle, he would be anointed Spirit Hall's Holy Son.

"Let's go, Jin Yu. Spirit Hall's elders and higher-ups have all arrived. It's time for us to make our entrance." Qian Renxue and the seven Enshrined came up to Jin Yu.

"All right." Jin Yu slowly rose to his feet.

By now, Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, Snake Lance Douluo, Porcupinefish Douluo, Ling Yuan Douluo, and all the other Titled Douluo had arrived at the venue.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan were already waiting on the arena stage.

Yan folded his arms across his chest and said mockingly, "Nana, Xie Yue, do you think that guy Jin Yu realized he couldn't beat us and got too scared to come? Haha!"

Xie Yue analyzed the situation. "It's possible. Perhaps he didn't know how strong we were at the time, so he foolishly accepted our challenge."

"Two months have passed. Jin Yu must have heard from the young mistress how strong we are. It would be perfectly normal for him to be too afraid to come."

"After all, he isn't even fourteen yet. No matter how outstanding his talent or how fast he cultivates, he can be a Soul Elder at most. If he faces the three of us Soul Ancestors at that level, he's bound to lose."

Hu Liena looked disdainful. "Hmph, I hope he isn't as timid as a mouse. I still have to teach him a harsh lesson on my teacher's behalf!"

Just then.

A commotion broke out at the venue. "They're here! They're here!"

Everyone turned to look.

They saw Jin Yu walking at the front, with the seven Enshrined and Qian Renxue following behind him.

"Hmph, he's finally here." Hu Liena and the other two smiled coldly. They could hardly wait to crush Jin Yu in front of all the higher-ups.

"Greetings, Enshrined Elders!"

All the higher-ups present stood.

"Everyone, please take your seats."

The seven Enshrined and Qian Renxue sat in the central seats, while Jin Yu walked onto the arena stage under everyone's watchful eyes.

Qian Daoliu's voice rang out. "Today's battle will determine whether Jin Yu is qualified to be anointed Spirit Hall's Holy Son."

"The three members of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation-Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan-will challenge Jin Yu one by one."

"If any one of the three defeats Jin Yu, his anointment as Holy Son will be canceled immediately!"

"You may begin!"

Bibi Dong said sarcastically, "Great Enshrined, accidents are unavoidable in duels between Soul Masters. If Hu Liena and the other two accidentally hit a little too hard, you won't hold it against the three children, will you?"

Qian Daoliu gave Bibi Dong a cool glance and said evenly, "Surely you don't think the three of them can hurt Jin Yu?"

How arrogant! I refuse to believe a Soul Master who isn't even fourteen can defeat Nana and the others! Bibi Dong sneered inwardly.
