Late at night, in the quiet darkness.
Inside the mansion of the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou Empire, Qian Renxue stood in the study, gazing at the moonlight through the window.
She wore a one-piece golden palace gown, clean and sharp in style, emphasizing her graceful figure.
Just from her silhouette, one could feel a sense of divinity and authority.
Click!
The door seemed to open with a slight breeze and closed immediately afterward, as a dark shadow appeared in the room, speaking respectfully.
"Miss, there is news from home."
"From home?" Qian Renxue furrowed her brow, slightly puzzled by the voice of Porcupine Douluo
Ever since she arrived in Heaven Dou City, the Spirit Hall had rarely taken the initiative to contact her, just for to be absolute safe.
"What news from home?" she asked softly.
"It's about Young Master Jue," Porcupine Douluo said with even more reverence, aware of the weight Qian Renjue carried inside the Spirit Hall
"Jue? What happened to him?" Qian Renxue immediately turned around, her presence radiating the pressure of a superior, making even Porcupine and Snake Lance uncomfortable.
Porcupine Douluo quickly replied, "Miss, the Pope has sent word that Young Master Jue has broken through to the Spirit King level and needs to go to Sunset Forest to hunt for a spirit ring. You are asked to look after him."
"Jue broke through? Hah, quite fast." Qian Renxue sighed in relief
Her face lighting up with a radiant smile, brighter than the moonlight.
She had no objections about her brother coming to Sunset Forest to hunt for a soul ring—she was confident she could protect him.
"Do we know when he'll arrive?" she asked.
"Not yet," Porcupine replied, shaking his head. " Ling Yuan Douluo, who is escorting him, will keep us informed."
"Good. Notify me in advance when he's close by."
"Understood!"
Porcupine Douluo nodded.
"Oh, by the way," Qian Renxue asked, thinking about her ongoing plans, "what about Zhao Wuji?"
Porcupine Douluo respectfully answered, "According to the reports from Snake Lance, Zhao Wuji already met the target."
"Good," Qian Renxue nodded with satisfaction. She instructed, "Withdraw our men, and have Snake Lance return as soon as possible."
"As you command!"
Porcupine Douluo nodded again, he didn't quite understand why Qian Renxue was staging this charade with Zhao Wuji and letting him approach Flander, a mere Spirit Emperor.
But having Snake Lance return quickly made sense, given that Young Master Jue would soon arrive.
Knock, knock!
A special code knock sounded at the door.
"Come in," Qian Renxue's calm voice echoed.
The door opened slowly, revealing a young man, around 17 or 18, with handsome features and wearing the royal robes of the Heaven Dou Empire.
After closing the door, he immediately knelt.
"Master."
"Any movement in the court lately?" Qian Renxue nodded slightly, speaking calmly.
Nearby, Porcupine Douluo could not help but feel a surge of horror.
To this day, he still didn't understand what method Qian Renxue had used to make the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire completely obedient.
…
The next morning.
Qian Renjue lifted his head from Bibi Dong's embrace, breathing in the fresh air after being suffocated for quite some time.
He didn't enjoy being woken up like that, but Bibi Dong loved it.
After lying with her for a while longer, he finally allowed her to help him dress.
As he lazily walked into the bathroom to wash up, Bibi Dong, in a purple nightgown, tidied up the bed while reminding him, "Jue, don't forget to give what I prepared last night to your sister."
"I got it, Mom," Qian Renjue replied as he splashed cold water on his face.
When he lifted his head, Bibi Dong was already there with a towel, gently wiping his face.
"When you're out there, listen to Ling Yuan and your sister. Don't be afraid to cause trouble."
"Hmm?" Qian Renjue was nodding until he heard the last part, and then froze.
"I mean, don't let anyone wrong you," Bibi Dong explained with a smile.
She was concerned that Qian Renjue, being so kind and innocent, might be easily taken advantage of, especially by bad women.
"Got it, Mom Qian Renjue chuckled and nodded.
…
"Brother, come back soon!" In the courtyard, Hu Liena clung to Qian Renjue's arm, looking reluctant to part.
"Don't worry, I won't be gone long. I'll even bring you a gift when I return," Qian Renjue smiled, gently pinching her cheek.
Bibi Dong, watching from the side, frowned but said nothing.
She had considered making Hu Liena move out after noticing how clingy and overly close she was to her son.
However, after a certain incident—when Qian Renxue caught Hu Liena trying something mischievous and gave her a stern lesson—the situation seemed to improve.
"Alright, it's time for your senior brother to leave," Bibi Dong patted Hu Liena on the shoulder, then turned to Ling Yuan. "Ling Yuan, I'll leave this journey in your hands."
"Your Majesty, it's my duty," Ling Yuan, dressed in her usual black armor, nodded respectfully.
"Goodbye, Mom," Qian Renjue approached Bibi Dong and kissed her cheek lightly, causing her face to bloom with a radiant smile.
Hu Liena, watching, bit her lip in envy, but after recalling the last time she was caught by Qian Renxue, she didn't dare to act rashly.
"Let's go, little bunny," Qian Renjue called out to the Soft Bone Rabbit.
*squeak squeak!*
(Coming, Your Highness!)
The rabbit hopped happily onto Qian Renjue's shoulder, nuzzling his face, casting a smug glance at Hu Liena with its scarlet eyes.
For this trip, Qian Renjue would only bring Ling Yuan and the Soft Bone Rabbit, while the Blue Silver Emperor would remain under Hu Liena's care.
…
As the sun rose, a luxurious carriage slowly departed from Spirit City, heading towards Heaven Dou City.
Ling Yuan Douluo was driving, while Qian Renjue sat inside, feeding the little rabbit on his lap.
This trip to Heaven Dou City wasn't just about acquiring his fifth spirit ring; the most important goal was obtaining the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
He also sought the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from the Heaven Dou Empire
These two items that were crucial for Tang San in his past life.
As Qian Renjue pondered, the Soft Bone Rabbit licked his palm, and outside, apart from the sound of the wheels and whip, Ling Yuan's gentle voice reached him.
"Your Highness, if you're tired, please let me know, and we can stop to rest."
Qian Renjue sighed, "Sister Ling, even if I'm spoiled by my family, I'm still a spirit master. How could I get tired just from sitting in a carriage?"
