Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

The anticipated epic battle between heaven and earth did not occur.

After Qian Renxue announced her "fiancée," an eerie silence fell over the entire competition arena.

However, Gu Yuena's reaction greatly disappointed all the onlookers who were ready to watch the drama unfold.

She simply nodded coolly, her face revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Since you are Xiaobai's fiancée and have just come out of seclusion, you must have something to ask him, so I won't bother you."

After saying that, she looked at Hu Bai, who was pretending to be a wooden figure, and said in a natural tone, "When you have time, let's exchange our insights on elemental soul skills and the application of mental power."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yuena turned and left decisively, her long silver hair drawing a graceful arc in the air, leaving behind only a cold and aloof silhouette.

She needed to find a place to sort out her current chaotic feelings.

"Hey, you're leaving already?"

"This is boring, let's call it a day. I thought we were going to fight."

"I thought Her Highness the Holy Maiden and Her Highness Gu Yuena would fight each other over the Holy Son, they even took their pants off... cough cough, the melon seeds were all ready, and that's it?"

"But don't you think Her Highness has become even more beautiful since she came out of seclusion? That aura, wow, I wonder how strong she is now."

"Why don't you go up and try it?" someone suggested with a wink.

"Do I look like an idiot to you? No matter how beautiful Her Highness is, she's still a rose with thorns. Wouldn't it be asking for a beating if I went up to her?"

Soon, the students who had gathered in layers dispersed in twos and threes, their faces full of disappointment.

Only Hu Bai and Qian Renxue remained in the arena.

Hu Bai watched Gu Yuena's departing figure and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Thankfully, a fight didn't break out.

He had told Gu Yuena before, "Just friends, that's best!"
He had to admit that Gu Yuena was very beautiful, with an extraordinary temperament, the kind of woman who could make any man fall for her.

But at the same time, she also has a lot of trouble.

Whether it's the unfathomable background of the soul beasts behind her, or her own proud personality.

Let alone Qian Renxue, I'm afraid Gu Yuena herself would absolutely not be able to accept sharing a husband with another woman, right?

Hu Bai didn't think he was charming enough to make these two beautiful women get along peacefully.

The former is the future heir of the Spirit Hall and the granddaughter of the peerless Douluo Qian Daoliu.

The latter is the other half of the Dragon God, the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all soul beasts.

Even if Hu Bai is incredibly charming and talented, the idea of ​​getting these two proud women to submit to the same person is just a pipe dream.

The competition venue is crowded and noisy, and the commotion just now was too loud, so it's clearly not a good place to catch up.

"Sister Xiaoxue, let's talk somewhere else."

Hu Bai took Qian Renxue's hand, and the latter did not resist, obediently following behind him.

The two arrived at a secluded grove of trees behind the Spirit Hall Academy.

Here, the grass is lush and green, ancient trees reach for the sky, and sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows, creating an exceptionally tranquil atmosphere.

The two sat side by side on the soft lawn, gazing up at the azure sky.

Hu Bai was about to say something when he noticed that Qian Renxue beside him was not saying a word. She just turned her head to the side, her beautiful golden eyes staring unblinkingly at his face.

Hu Bai found it somewhat amusing and turned his head to meet her gaze.

One minute
Two minutes.
Five minutes have passed.
Neither of them spoke, and a strange atmosphere filled the air, a mixture of warmth and a touch of rivalry. In the end, Qian Renxue was the first to give in.

Two beautiful blushes rose on her fair cheeks. She turned her head away shyly, not daring to look at Hu Bai again, but muttered under her breath, "You just bully me."

The voice was soft and sweet, without a trace of blame; it sounded more like a coquettish tone.

Hu Bai's smile deepened: "I didn't bully you at all. You were the one who was watching me the whole time."

Qian Renxue sighed softly and said quietly, "It's only been a little over a year since I last saw you, Xiaobai, you've grown even more handsome. Just look at all the female students in the academy who were practically staring at you as we walked along this road."

"besides."

At this point, a subtle hint of bitterness crept into Qian Renxue's voice: "You and that Gu Yuena..."

coming!

Hu Bai's mind went blank; he knew the real issue was about to be addressed.

He immediately wiped the smile off his face and looked at Qian Renxue with feigned sadness: "It seems that Sister Xiaoxue doesn't believe me. I just told you how much I missed you, and you immediately doubt me."

"no!"

Seeing his expression, Qian Renxue became anxious and quickly explained, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that..."

She kept saying "it is" for a long time, but couldn't explain why.

Seeing her adorable, flustered, and embarrassed expression, Hu Bai finally couldn't help but laugh.

He reached out and gently stroked Qian Renxue's nose, saying softly, "Don't worry, I assure you, Gu Yuena and I are really just friends."

"As for her, her background is rather special, and I can't tell you right now, but you just need to know that I have absolutely no romantic feelings for her."

"background?"

Qian Renxue was slightly startled.

She thought about it and remembered that her grandfather and mother had mentioned Gu Yuena before. It was said that she was a human orphan who was adopted by Bi Ji, a ferocious beast from the Star Dou Great Forest.

What special background could an orphan possibly have?

But Qian Renxue was incredibly clever; she instantly grasped the crux of the problem and didn't ask any more questions.

Since Xiaobai said that, she must have discovered some inside information that she didn't know.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. How could an ordinary human orphan be adopted by a ferocious beast? Especially one of the likes of Brigitte.

Perhaps the fact that they were adopted by the ferocious beast was just a pretext.

However, if the Spirit Hall wants to investigate, it must go deep into the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Should we let Gu Yuena lead her in? What if it's a trap?

In the current Spirit Hall, perhaps only Grandpa Qian Daoliu and Mother Bibi Dong have the strength to deal with the major ferocious beasts in the core area.

As for Second Grandfather Golden Crocodile Douluo, he might be able to hold out for a while, but defeating those ancient monsters who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years is almost impossible.

Having figured this out, the last trace of resentment in Qian Renxue's heart disappeared.

"Since you've said that, I'll definitely believe you."

She gave Hu Bai a sweet smile, no longer dwelling on the matter, and cleverly changed the subject.

"By the way, how's your strength now? How's the Divine Exam going? A lot has happened in the past year, right? Tell me about it!" (End of Chapter)
