Chapter 60: You Are All My Angels!
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince…"
Wang Li flashed a wicked, charming smile as he looked at Qian Renxue.
That smile made Qian Renxue freeze on the spot.
What was going on?
That smile—it was the same as the one in her memories!
Qian Renxue looked utterly bewildered, staring at Wang Li in confusion.
"This is only our second meeting, yet you say I resemble an old acquaintance of yours."
"Is it really just a resemblance?"
Wang Li smiled mysteriously once again and continued,
"Should I call you Xue Qinghe… or Qian Renxue? No, that's not right—Sister Xue'er… hmm, Wife Xue'er."
Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes widened as she stared at Wang Li in disbelief.
He… he actually knew everything?!
Sister Xue'er. Wife Xue'er…
Just thinking about those forms of address made Qian Renxue's face flush red.
Those titles had been changed back then—in a secret chamber.
As for what exactly happened there, that was something only the heavens knew.
"You bastard—why didn't you come look for me?"
Qian Renxue stopped pretending. Her voice shifted from a male tone back to her original one.
Wang Li spread his hands and said calmly,
"I only treated it as a dream—a very real dream."
"As time passed, the dream felt more and more real."
"But a dream is still just a dream."
"What if you weren't her? What if you didn't have memories of the past life?"
"After all, in this life, we've only met once—and that meeting was extremely abrupt."
Wang Li spoke without blushing or skipping a beat.
The mess created by the simulator would ultimately have to be borne by him…
Qian Renxue fell silent for a moment. Holy light flickered over her body as she reverted to her original appearance.
She stood up, walked in front of Wang Li, sat down, and pulled him into her arms.
"Xiao Li, that wasn't a dream."
"Dreams aren't this real."
"In this life, don't be so reckless again, okay?"
"Big sister doesn't want to lose you again."
Qian Renxue held Wang Li tightly, breathing in his familiar scent.
That's right—this was the husband she had raised since childhood.
There was no way she could be mistaken.
Looking at Qian Renxue in his arms, the corner of Wang Li's eye twitched as conflicting emotions surged within him.
To him, all of that had merely been a meaningless simulation created by a cheat.
What he needed was only the reward after the simulation ended.
But to the "victims"—to them—it had been their entire lives.
"Alright. I promise you."
In the end, Wang Li nodded.
After more conversation, Wang Li finally learned that Qian Renxue only retained memories from within the Douluo universe.
She did have memories beyond it—but they were extremely vague, impossible to see or grasp clearly.
This left him somewhat disappointed, yet helpless.
"Xiao Li, did you cultivate properly in this life?"
"Do you still lack soul bones?"
"Are you short on gold soul coins?"
"Is Zhu Zhuqing's figure better than mine?"
Looking at the chatterbox in his arms, Wang Li let out a sigh.
She'd been quite serious at first—but the later questions were increasingly improper.
Her true purpose had been exposed…
"Sister Xue'er, you are my angel…"
"All of you are."
Qian Renxue: "..."
What do you mean by "all"?!
What a trashy explanation!
You damned womanizer.
If she hadn't come today, or if she hadn't taken the initiative in this life, would Wang Li never have gone to find her?
"I don't lack soul bones, and I don't lack gold soul coins…"
"My soul power level has already reached rank ninety-six."
"Oh, ninety-six…"
Qian Renxue seemed to realize something, her eyes widening once more.
At this point in the previous life, Wang Li's soul power had been around rank sixty or seventy, right?
And now he has already reached rank ninety-six?!
"You're already at rank ninety-six?"
"Yeah."
Qian Renxue's body trembled slightly. The hands holding Wang Li tightened unconsciously.
A monster. No matter where he went, he was always a monster.
"You… How do you cultivate?"
Qian Renxue looked utterly lost. No matter how talented someone was, there still had to be a process, right?
"I have twin martial souls. Perhaps because of my past life, I was born with rank sixty innate soul power."
Qian Renxue: "..."
"I've never cultivated, because my martial soul can't improve through cultivation."
"I can only grow stronger by devouring the flesh and soul power of soul beasts."
Hearing this—
Qian Renxue frowned slightly, looking at Wang Li with surprise.
Weren't Wang Li's martial souls a sniper rifle and a laser sword?
Thinking back to the past life, since they had been reborn, the changes occurring were perfectly normal.
"Devouring soul beast flesh and energy…"
To be honest, Qian Renxue didn't like that idea very much.
Fortunately, it wasn't devouring humans…
"Yes. I've only devoured two humans in total… all the others were soul beasts."
"???"
She had just been relieved—now this?!
Qian Renxue clenched her teeth, not knowing what to say.
As the saying goes: marry a chicken, follow a chicken; marry a dog, follow a dog.
Since her husband had taken a crooked path, she had both the responsibility and obligation to pull him back onto the right one.
"Devouring soul beasts is fine, but devouring—"
"Uh, the two people I devoured weren't good people either."
"One was Tang Hao, and the other was Shi Nian."
"You should know Tang Hao. As for Shi Nian, he was a degenerate who enjoyed hunting and killing talented soul masters for pleasure."
"!!!"
Qian Renxue's expression changed. She had almost misunderstood him!
She knew Tang Hao was dead.
She just hadn't expected that Tang Hao had been devoured by Wang Li!
So that's what Sixth and Seventh Grandpa meant—they had been used…
Such a coincidence?
"Worthy of my good little brother—this is your reward for killing Tang Hao!"
Chu~
Qian Renxue kissed him briefly before pulling away, joy shining in her eyes.
Even though Wang Li couldn't cultivate normally, he still retained a kind heart.
He only devoured villains and soul beasts—he was simply too kind!
Qian Renxue had no doubts about Wang Li's words.
Though his words were a mix of truth and half-truths, everything he said was factual.
In Qian Renxue's eyes, the simulations were his "past lives."
Wang Li saying that he gained twin martial souls and innate full soul power because of his "past life" was perfectly reasonable.
He had killed many people, but only devoured Tang Hao and Shi Nian—this was also true.
After all, he was human. Killing innocents was something he truly couldn't do.
Better to let the soul beasts suffer a bit…
As for whether this would affect his foundation, that wasn't within Wang Li's scope of concern.
Choosing to lay everything bare with Qian Renxue was something Wang Li had carefully considered.
The two talked for a long time. In the end, Qian Renxue once again transformed into "Xue Qinghe" and left the room.
If "he" stayed any longer, rumors about "him" and Wang Li would probably spread throughout all of Heaven Dou City by the next day.
Even if they weren't exactly scandalous rumors…
At present, "he" still needed to maintain the identity of "Xue Qinghe."
Just like in the "past life"—finish the transformation first, then talk.
A path that had already been successfully walked once was not something Qian Renxue would abandon.
The next morning.
"Have you heard? The Crown Prince and the Sky Water Team's captain talked all night!"
"Bullshit! His Highness was just trying to recruit Wang Li. Do you even understand what 'courting the worthy' means?"
Listening to these discussions, Wang Li knew exactly what was going on.
Those two again—stirring up trouble as usual!
