The sun and moon cycled, a day and a half had passed.
The carriage carrying Qian Renjue had already entered the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Under the blazing sun, the wheels of the carriage rolled steadily.
The carriage door curtain was lifted.
Qian Renjue sat beside Ling Yuan Douluo, holding the Soft Bone Rabbit in her arms.
"Sister Ling, how much longer?"
"Your Highness, at our current speed, we should arrive before sunset."
Ling Yuan Douluo, holding the reins, turned slightly to look at Qian Renjue. Her face didn't show any tiredness and bore a respectful and gentle expression.
She added, "I have already informed Miss Xue."
"Mm, that's good."
Qian Renjue nodded slightly.
He gently stroked the soft rabbit in his arms, looking at the scenery outside the carriage.
The landscape varied from rugged rocks to towering, winding mountains.
His purple eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Mmm~"
The Soft Bone Rabbit nestled in Qian Renjue's arms, its pink eyes half-closed.
Ling Yuan Douluo gently suggested, "Your Highness, it would be better to go inside to avoid the wind and sun."
"It's fine; the view is better outside."
Qian Renjue smiled, leaning against the carriage as he looked at the blue sky.
Remembering something, he asked Ling Yuan Douluo, "Do you know Dugu Bo?"
"Dugu Bo?"
Ling Yuan Douluo looked slightly taken aback before nodding.
"Of course, he is the current head of the Dugu family in Heaven Dou City."
"He should still be some distance from becoming a Title Douluo."
With that, Ling Yuan Douluo looked curiously at Qian Renjue.
"Why is Your Highness interested in him? He's not a good person."
"I need to discuss something with him."
Qian Renjue replied softly, without revealing anything more
His mood brightened considerably.
Since Dugu Bo had not yet ascend to Titled Douluo, it meant his son was still alive.
This implied that roping the Dugu family would be much easier.
(PS: In the comic, Dugu Bo's son Dugu Xin died on the day Dugu Bo broke through level 90)
"…"
Ling Yuan Douluo was tactful, chose not to ask further.
Whatever His Highness intended to do, Miss Xue would be there to assist.
With three Title Douluo present, safety was not a concern.
As long as His Highness was happy.
...
"Sister Ling, have something to eat."
At noon.
Qian Renjue offered a pastry to Ling Yuan Douluo.
Ling Yuan Douluo instinctively opened her mouth.
She tasted the soft, sweet pastry, before realizing that she had also licked Qian Renjue's finger
With a slightly flushed face, she released the reins, raised her hand, and gently said, "Your Highness, I'll eat it myself."
"Then I'll just put it here. If you need water, let me know, and I'll pour it for you."
Qian Renjue smiled and nodded.
He placed the pastries in between them, took out a kettle and a cup.
"Mm, thank you, Your Highness."
Ling Yuan Douluo adjusted her short hair and continued driving the carriage while eating her lunch.
"squeak!"
(Your Highness, eat this. It's tasty.)
The Soft Bone Rabbit in her arms offered a green apple to Qian Renjue.
"Mm."
Qian Renjue smiled, took the apple, and gently patted its ears.
He took a bite of the apple.
Crunch!
The Soft Bone Rabbit happily retrieved another apple from its collar.
After chewing a bit, Qian Renjue frowned slightly.
Seeing the rabbit retrieve another apple, he reached out for it.
"squeak squeak!"
The Soft Bone Rabbit looked at Qian Renxue with curiosity.
(Your Highness?)
Qian Renjue smiled and handed over the apple she had just bitten to the Soft Bone Rabbit.
"That one was a bit sour; you can have it. I'll eat this one."
"chirp!"
(Okay, okay, I'll listen to Your Highness.)
The Soft Bone Rabbit happily agreed.
"Ha ha."
Qian Renjue chuckled and playfully tweaked the rabbit's long ears.
The fluffy and obedient rabbit was quite adorable.
Whoop!
To avoid dirtying Qian Renjue's clothes.
The Soft Bone Rabbit rubbed its cheek against Qian Renjue's palm, then hopped away with the apple.
It lay down nearby, licked it like a treasure, and began to devour it eagerly.
The rabbit didn't find it sour at all.
" Sister Ling , have some water."
Qian Renjue poured some water into a cup and handed it to Ling Yuan Douluo.
He also poured some milkshake into a small treat for the Soft Bone Rabbit.
The rabbit was quite easy to take care of.
...
From a distance.
Qian Renjue could already see the flags fluttering on the city walls.
His eyes sparkled with a hint of astonishment.
As one of the largest and most prosperous city on the continent,
Heaven Dou City's walls were a hundred meters high!
Constructed entirely of the hardest granite.
Qian Renjue was about to observe more closely. But Ling Yuan Douluo suddenly turned the carriage toward a secluded area.
She reminded, "Your Highness, let's follow the signal and meet Miss Xue."
"Alright."
Qian Renjue nodded happily.
After several months apart, he dearly missed Qian Renxue.
His eyes showed anticipation.
Soon.
As the carriage turned through several twists and turns, Qian Renjue saw Qian Renxue's carriage waiting in the forest.
Porcupine Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo were on guard outside.
"Miss, Young Master Jue has arrived."
Swish!
Without needing further confirmation from Porcupine and Snake Lance, Qian Renxue appeared outside the carriage
She had already spotted Qian Renxue as soon as she heard the sound of the wheels.
At twelve years old, she stood elegantly, already possessing a national beauty.
Her skin was as white as snow, her face pure and delicate, like porcelain.
The golden high-collar gown she wore accentuated her graceful figure.
Her sharp eyes softened into a gentle gaze upon seeing Qian Renjue.
Qian Renjue stood up from the carriage and waved at Qian Renxue with a smile.
"Sister!",
Without waiting for the carriage to stop, Qian Renjue jumped to the as soon as he finished speaking
Swish!
Qian Renxue also leaped down and stood in front of Qian Renjue.
Her soft hands held Qian Renjue's face.
Gently caressing him, her face lit up with a tender smile.
Her voice was as melodious as a clear spring, making one feel refreshed.
"Jue, it's been several months. Did you miss your sister?"
"Of course I missed you. Otherwise, why would I come here to hunt souls?"
Qian Renjue smiled, allowing Qian Renxue to gently knead her face.
"Ha ha. That's good."
Qian Renxue chuckled and nestled into Qian Renjue's arms.
Breathing a familiar smell,
"It's been a few months, and you've grown taller than me."
"You've also become even more beautiful."
Qian Renjue lightly embraced her slender waist and habitually pinched it.
Qian Renxue blushed and gave Qian Renjue a angry look.
But she leaned closer to him, resting on Qian Renjue's shoulder, and said with a smile,
"When did you become so smooth-talking?"
"I'm just speaking the truth."
Qian Renjue innocently shook his head.
"Pfft, that's good."
Qian Renxue's face was bright with a smile, and she lightly kissed his cheek.
