Heaven Dou City.
The Heaven Dou Imperial Family was once again holding a funeral.
The Third Prince of the empire, who had considerable talent in cultivation, had died suddenly not long ago.
His death was exactly the same as that of the Second Prince a year ago.
The First Prince was placed under house arrest and investigated.
The Fourth Prince, Xue Beng, who was only seven years old, was being protected within the palace.
At this moment, inside the palace, white cloth was draped everywhere.
The vast Golden Hall was now empty, inside and out.
Only five figures stood below the golden throne.
Dugu Bo, Porcupinefish, and Snake Lance, the three Title Douluo, stood straight.
Like towering mountains, they were staggered on the steps.
They were guarding the dragon throne above.
Below the steps stood two figures, an old man and a young man.
The young man looked to be about twenty years old.
He wasn't particularly handsome, but he had a straight nose and a square mouth.
He wore a clean, light blue robe, which gave off a very refreshing feeling.
His clothes were very ordinary, yet they exuded an air of nobility.
Beside him stood an old man.
He wore a golden-red robe and a golden diamond crown. His face was like an ancient moon.
He looked somewhat old, but he had a sense of profound mystery.
His cloudy eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
At this moment, the two of them, the old and the young, were bowing, their faces filled with respect and fear.
It seemed they were reporting something.
If the ministers of the Heaven Dou Empire saw this.
They would definitely suspect that they had gone mad or were mentally disturbed.
Simply because... The person standing wasn't an ordinary father and son.
Instead, it was Emperor Xueye, the supreme ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the empire's First Prince, Xue Qinghe!
"This chair isn't that great; it's easy to doze off."
A cold, imposing female voice rang out.
It echoed from the golden hall, reverberating throughout the vast palace.
Qian Renxue was wearing a golden gown.
It accentuated her slender, upright figure, and at the age of fifteen, she already possessed a graceful and alluring form.
Soft, flowing hair like a waterfall, and sharp phoenix eyes.
Her mouth opened slightly.
She lazily yawned.
"Snake Lance, have they all finished speaking?"
"Replying to you, young miss, they have all finished. The handover of military power has been preliminarily completed."
Snake Lance Douluo responded respectfully.
Then, he slowly stepped forward and handed over the box in his hand.
"Please take a look, young miss. This is the newly forged supreme tiger tally."
"I almost fell asleep."
Qian Renxue leaned against the dragon throne.
With a slight thought, the box containing the tiger tally flew into her hand.
She opened it and examined its contents, quite satisfied.
She was already the master of the empire, yet she still felt somewhat uneasy about this double insurance.
She could only work on the military power.
She had placed trusted confidants in each army to lead the troops, as a third layer of insurance for usurping the country.
"My Lady, I wonder why you summoned this subordinate."
Dugu Bo bowed and asked.
He had only just returned from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well valley.
"Hmm?"
Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows and casually put away the tiger tally.
She whispered: "I do have something to ask of you."
"Recently... I plan to have you temporarily replace Porcupinefish, and be responsible for my safety."
Dugu Bo was stunned and lowered his head.
"This subordinate understands."
Porcupinefish and Snake Lance looked at each other, unsure why Qian Renxue had made such an arrangement. They waited quietly for further instructions.
Tap! Tap! Qian Renxue tapped lightly on the dragon head of the throne.
She instructed, "Porcupinefish, Snake Lance, I want you to set off immediately for Notting City."
"Notting City? Young Miss... What for?"
Porcupinefish was puzzled.
"I want you to wait on the only road into the city, for a little girl."
Qian Renxue frowned.
She was somewhat averse to the unknown control, which forced her to speak in riddles.
"Little girl? Miss. Can you be more specific?"
Porcupinefish immediately had a headache.
Qian Renxue was also displeased and waved her hand.
"Anyway, when you see her, you'll know she's my target."
As the words fell.
Qian Renxue solemnly instructed again: "Remember, absolutely no complications. I only want it!"
"This subordinate obeys!"
Porcupinefish and Snake Lance hurriedly agreed.
He was filled with doubt. The target was far too vague.
"Then let's set off quickly."
Qian Renxue waved her hand, giving a final reminder.
"Don't get into conflicts with anyone! Anyone, understand?"
"Yes!"
Porcupinefish and Snake Lance were even more confused.
Miss Xue seemed to have anticipated that they would encounter someone.
Suppressing their doubts, the two quickly snuck outside.
Watching Porcupinefish and the others depart.
Qian Renxue's expression softened, her profile gentle.
She murmured softly.
"He'll definitely love this birthday present, won't he? His cultivation is almost surpassing mine."
"He'll be able to use this Soul Ring in less than two years."
Pride shone in Qian Renxue's eyes, and as her words faded, a golden light enveloped her.
Her body slowly transformed.
Rising from the steps, she walked towards Xue Qinghe, as if looking into a mirror.
With a wave of her hand.
The Life Ring emitted a radiant glow, and Xue Qinghe was收.
Qian Renxue didn't even glance at Emperor Xueye, and walked towards the outside of the hall.
"Dugu Bo, let's go."
"Yes!"
Dugu Bo immediately followed.
Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, on the banks of the Life Lake.
The lake surface was incredibly calm, with Titan sitting cross-legged by the shore, rubbing the soles of his feet.
"Great! Holy Son has contacted Xiao Wu!"
A clear, sweet, and delicate voice.
It drifted down from the head of the Titan Giant Ape. Anyone who didn't know better would think the giant ape had a loli voice.
"Roar—?"
The Titan Giant Ape let out a confused low roar.
Ever since Sister Xiao Wu mysteriously disappeared and then mysteriously fell from the sky.
She seemed to have become a little unpredictable.
Always shouting about that Holy Son.
"Er Ming, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. The Holy Son is the best, the very best person in the world."
"Don't talk first; Sister Xiao Wu wants to hear the Holy Son's voice."
Xiao Wu sat cross-legged on the Titan Giant Ape's head.
She still looked like a porcelain doll, her face fair and rosy, dressed in a pink dress.
A perfect little doll.
She gently patted Er Ming's forehead, holding the golden Beast Taming Necklace on her neck.
Her round, large crimson eyes narrowed into crescents.
Listening quietly to the message.
"The Holy Son wants me to go to the village first, to buy a spot as a work-study student."
"Also, to go to Notting City. Hide my aura?!"
"But, Xiao Wu only uses this necklace to store things?"
"..."
Xiao Wu frowned, tugging at the necklace hanging with pink beads.
She didn't quite understand how to use this good thing.
"Awoo!"
Xiao Wu opened her silver teeth and began to bite.
The manipulation was unsuccessful.
"Ah~! Holy Son will dislike Xiao Wu again for being so silly."
When Xiao Wu wanted to contact Qian Renxue.
There was no more response, and it seemed she couldn't contact the other party. Splash~
On the calm water surface, a huge bull's head slowly rose.
"Sister Xiao Wu, are you leaving?"
Martial Soul City.
Qian Renxue rested her head on Ling Yuan Douluo's lap, sweat beading on her forehead.
She looked at the golden ring in her hand, which had lost its luster.
A faint smile played on her lips.
She never would have imagined that the Soft Bone Rabbit, for whom Ah Yin hadn't had time to explain, was now facing Qian Renxue's capture.
At the same time,
she had also overlooked that the other functions of the Beast Taming Necklace required Soul Power to operate.
Xiao Wu wasn't even six years old in human terms.
Her Martial Soul hadn't awakened, so how could she possibly have Soul Power?
I wish you all a happy life!
