The moon hung high in the sky
. In the Heavenly Dou Imperial City, at the residence of Xue Qinghe, one of the only two princes of the Heavenly Dou Empire,
a hidden chamber constructed with various materials designed to isolate soul power
sat opposite Lin Yu. A beautiful young woman with long, golden hair reaching her waist, a charming face, and a cheerful smile, listened patiently as Lin Yu recounted his gains from his recent training trip.
When Lin Yu mentioned the annihilation of two high-level Soul Masters, Tianya and Ekao, and the final arrangement by She Long to eliminate Fang Biao, who was connected to Xue Xing, Qian Renxue's fair and delicate hands, resting on her lap, unconsciously clenched together.
The next moment, Lin Yu handed her the letter he had previously obtained—a letter Xue Xing had sent to recruit Fang Biao and his bandits.
Taking the letter from Lin Yu, Qian Renxue's eyebrows furrowed, and she snorted, "This Xue Xing, as a prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire, actually betrayed the Heavenly Dou Empire for some money.
In that case, perhaps I can use this to make a fuss and give him a warning!"
It can only be said that she is indeed worthy of being the little princess of the Spirit Hall. Having been instilled with good knowledge and manners by Qian Daoliu since childhood, she immediately thought of using Xue Xing's collusion with bandits by using his troops to attack Xue Xing.
With a slight flick of her long golden hair, a hint of disappointment flickered in her starry eyes. "It's a pity this method probably won't be very effective, after all, Emperor Xueye values his younger brother quite highly."
Qian Renxue's dejected expression touched Lin Yu, who immediately comforted her, saying, "Young Master, you don't need to be so anxious. Xuexing is not like the previous two princes; his power in the Heavenly Dou Empire is second only to Emperor Xueye. Dealing with someone like him can only be done slowly, gradually eroding his power."
Qian Renxue nodded gently, her fair hand lightly pinching Lin Yu's cheek, a beautiful smile playing on her lips. "Alright, sister, I understand. I'll handle these things myself, so you don't need to worry about me anymore."
"Yes, I understand, sister!"
As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, Qian Renxue sat cross-legged on the bed in the secret room, about to begin her meditation.
This scene, however, caused Lin Yu to struggle internally. Don't be fooled
by Qian Renxue's earlier energy in listening to his recount his experiences during his training, and even teasing him a little.
In reality, she was incredibly exhausted. Besides the daytime maneuvering with the Heavenly Dou royal family, she also had to put on a show for the cunning old fox, Ning Fengzhi.
Even at night, she had to learn about government affairs from Xueye, returning to her palace very late.
Even back in her palace, there was no time to rest; she still had to diligently cultivate, not letting her cultivation level fall too far behind.
This blonde girl before him, while stubborn, was also incredibly pitiful, all because of the vow she impulsively made to that woman.
Lin Yu's gaze lingered on Qian Renxue's delicate figure for a long time, finally catching her attention.
Perhaps out of girlish shyness, she found it difficult to continue cultivating under Lin Yu's gaze. She opened her beautiful eyes, tilting her head in confusion, "Little Yu, is there anything else?"
Having already made up his mind, Lin Yu didn't intend to hide anything. Besides, he already had two spirit rings and hadn't encountered any conflicts with his martial spirit.
If all else failed, he wouldn't forget his master and sister in the God Realm. In terms of divine rank, that woman's status was a level lower than his.
Unless that woman truly didn't want to inherit the divine position, she wouldn't dare to attack Lin Yu no matter what.
(The Goddess of Life in the God Realm has a very special status; for example, the other four are all damage dealers, while she is the only support.)
As Lin Yu opened his left hand, a pale white scroll appeared, with countless mountains, rivers, and plants on it, radiating a vibrant life force.
For a moment, a look of shock flashed in Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes, and she subconsciously murmured, "Twin Martial Souls?"
Lin Yu nodded with a wry smile, "That's right, but I didn't mean to hide it from you, sister, it's just..."
Lin Yu didn't hide why he had concealed his Martial Souls before, and why he was revealing them now. He explained his worries and how he couldn't bear to see Qian Renxue's daily hardships.
Qian Renxue listened quietly, her usually imposing phoenix eyes now looking at Lin Yu with gentle tenderness.
"That's right, I saw that you hardly ever rested, sister, and I couldn't bear it, so..."
"So you plan to use this Martial Soul to help me?"
Lin Yu nodded again, then released the two spirit rings possessed by the Wood Spirit Scroll.
Upon seeing the two purple spirit rings of the Wood Spirit Scroll, a look of surprise flashed in Qian Renxue's phoenix eyes.
Originally, she had planned to ask that woman for help regarding the cultivation method of twin martial souls, but she hadn't expected that her younger brother didn't seem to have encountered any martial soul conflict.
Although she didn't quite understand what was going on, she was still very happy that Lin Yu was alright.
A pair of soft, jade-like hands gently caressed Lin Yu's cheek. Qian Renxue's golden phoenix eyes shone with starlight as she softly said, "My good brother, can you tell me now how your martial soul can help your sister?"
Feeling the softness of the girl's hands, Lin Yu chuckled, and the second purple soul ring surrounding him flashed. "Second Soul Skill, Qi Circulation Eight Meridians!"
As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, a white light entered Qian Renxue's body, and another white light entered Lin Yu's body. (The protagonist can provide self-assistance)
"Sister, my second soul skill, Qi Circulation Eight Meridians, can ignore the difference in martial soul quality and double the cultivation speed!"
Upon hearing this, even Qian Renxue, the most noble princess of the Douluo Continent, was astonished. She subconsciously pinched Lin Yu's cheek, "Does it hurt?"
Lin Yu didn't answer, but his resentful, pale red eyes made Qian Renxue understand that it was true!
Without hesitation, Qian Renxue sat cross-legged in front of Lin Yu and meditated for a while.
After a moment, the extremely excited Qian Renxue hugged Lin Yu. This was the first time Lin Yu had perceived the beauty of his sister's figure, the amazing softness he felt against her, and the delicate fragrance.
Holding Lin Yu in her arms for a while, two clear tears slowly dripped from Qian Renxue's watery eyes.
Her cherry lips parted slightly, "Thank you, little brother Yu, but from now on, I need your help with my cultivation!"
From this moment on, Lin Yu became the only close person in her heart, without any blood relation. Unlike Bibi Dong's indifference and Qian Daoliu's strictness, Lin Yu brought her the care her soft and fragile heart needed most.
Her already dark heart was illuminated by a ray of light, dispelling all darkness. Only one knot remained in her heart, but it was not a serious matter.
At the same time, thousands of miles away, in the silent and deserted temple, the elegant and beautiful angel sculpture lit up at this moment.
Qian Daoliu, who had rushed over and looked slightly disheveled, subconsciously looked towards the direction of Tian Dou City and said subconsciously, "Is it you, Xue'er?"
