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

Inside Hu Bai's bedroom.

Soft lighting spilled onto the plush bed, creating an ambiguous yet cozy atmosphere.

Hu Bai leaned lazily against the headboard, holding Qian Renxue, who had just come out of the bath, in his arms.

At this moment, Qian Renxue shed her usual aloof and sacred facade.

She wore a silk nightgown, her long golden hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her beautiful face still had a faint blush, like a lazy kitten.

"Yes, the purpose of this trip to Sunset Forest was simply to accelerate the ripening of that Qiluo Tulip."

Hu Bai casually remarked as he played with her hair.

"The process went quite smoothly."

"but……"

Hu Bai paused, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

"There was an unexpected surprise."

Qian Renxue raised her head slightly, a hint of curiosity showing in her beautiful eyes.

Only then did she truly calm down and carefully sense the aura emanating from Hu Bai.

This sensation was significant; her previously languid body instantly tensed up.

"This breath..."

Qian Renxue sat up straight from Hu Bai's arms and stared at him with wide eyes.

"Little Bai, you've broken through again?!"

Hu Bai chuckled and didn't hide anything.

He stretched out his left arm and left leg, subtly displaying that restrained divine light.

"Good luck, good luck."

"At the bottom of that lake, where ice and fire meet, we encountered the remnants of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King."

"The two elders saw that I had extraordinary bones and was a peerless genius, one in ten thousand. They cried and begged to give me their soul bones."

"I couldn't refuse, so I had no choice but to accept it reluctantly."

Hu Bai said jokingly.

Qian Renxue: ...

She stretched out her slender white fingers and poked Hu Bai's forehead in an annoyed manner.

"Keep being sarcastic!"

"That's the Dragon King's soul bone! A god-level soul bone!"

"How come it tastes like a cabbage picked up from the roadside in your mouth?"

Hu Bai grabbed her hand and kissed it.

He then vividly recounted his experience at the bottom of the lake.

Of course, as a man with an extremely strong will to survive.

Details such as "clothes being dissolved" and "being completely honest with each other" are inappropriate for children.

He edited it out in an extremely natural and fluent way.

In his version.

He and Gu Yuena were impeccably dressed and exuded righteousness throughout.

After listening, Qian Renxue did not suspect anything else.

After all, a god-level soul bone is right here.

"Wow……"

Looking at Hu Bai's powerful left arm, Qian Renxue sighed, "A million-year-old divine-level soul bone..."

"So, Little White, just how strong are you now? Are you even more powerful than Grandpa who uses angelic power?"

Qian Renxue was unaware of Hu Bai's true strength. During his year of training, he not only gained a concept-level soul skill, but even a ruler with the strength of a god was no match for him.

"Hehe, we still have to give Grandpa Qian some face."

Qian Renxue chuckled and rolled her eyes at him.

However, she then thought of a crucial question.

"The soul bones are complete, and the soul power is level 95."

"So, Xiaobai, does that mean you've passed your seventh test?"

"What is the content of the eighth test?"

When the eighth test was mentioned, Hu Bai's expression became slightly more serious.

"Yes, passed."

"As for the eighth exam, it will have to wait until a year later."

"A year later?" Qian Renxue was somewhat surprised.

"Correct."

Hu Bai explained, "A year later, the seven elemental gods will join forces to open the dimensional gate and teleport Gu Yuena and me directly to the God Realm to participate in the assessment."

"The content..."

"First, gain the recognition of all seven elemental artifacts."

"Second, assist Gu Yuena in completely fusing with the Golden Dragon King's source power."

"Reforge—the Dragon God's divine essence!"

"Dragon God?"

Qian Renxue blinked her beautiful big eyes, her gaze filled with confusion.

"Who is that?"

As humans, even as descendants of angels, we know nothing about the ancient secrets of the divine realm.

In her understanding, the pinnacle of soul beasts was the million-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Looking at her adorable, dazed expression, Hu Bai couldn't help but ruffle her hair.

"It's more than amazing."

"It is the ancestor of all beasts and was once the strongest being in the realm of gods."

"Let me put it this way, back then, the Dragon God single-handedly stood up against the entire God Realm Committee."

"It took the combined efforts of the five supreme god-kings, including the benevolent, the evil, and the Asura, to barely defeat him."

"hiss--"

Qian Renxue gasped.

The five supreme god-kings joined forces?

What is that concept?
She hasn't even managed to inherit the legacy of an angel god yet.

That dragon god is so powerful that he can take on the entire god realm single-handedly?
"Then... what about Gu Yuena?"

Qian Renxue astutely grasped the key point.

"Why does the Dragon God need her to be resurrected?"

Hu Bai took a deep breath and decided to stop hiding it.

"Because the Dragon God of that time was cut in two by the Asura God with a single sword strike."

"Half of it transformed into the Golden Dragon King and was sealed in the realm of gods."

"And the other half..."

Hu Bai looked at Qian Renxue and said, word by word, "She has transformed into the Silver Dragon King, controlling all the elemental forces in the world."

"And Gu Yuena... is the Silver Dragon King himself!"

Quiet.

Deadly quiet.

Qian Renxue felt that her brain was not working properly.

Although she felt that Gu Yuena was very strong and had a very noble temperament.

But they only thought she was the manifestation of some reclusive super soul beast, or the inheritor of some god.

So, she's half of the Dragon God? Or the ruler of all soul beasts?

Is he an existence on par with the God-King?

"This year..."

Hu Bai continued, his voice tinged with emotion.

"Without her help, I wouldn't have gotten to where I am today so quickly."

"Whether it's gaining insights into elemental power or acquiring this divine-level soul bone, she has spared no effort in helping me."

Qian Renxue fell silent as she listened to Hu Bai's story.

She kept her head down, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.

My heart felt like a jumble of emotions.

There was shock, there was admiration, but even more so, there was an overwhelming sense of jealousy.

"Can only...the two of you go up?"

Qian Renxue suddenly raised her head, her eyes slightly red.

"Going to a place as far as the realm of gods, and having to merge with some kind of origin..."

"just in case……"

She bit her lip, her voice trembling slightly.

"What if you two do something bad behind my back?"

Hu Bai's heart melted when he saw her looking so wronged.

He quickly pulled her closer and smiled helplessly.

"How is this possible?"

"That's an assessment, not a vacation."

"Besides, there are gods watching over there, how could I dare?"

Qian Renxue remained silent.

She leaned against Hu Bai's chest and remained silent for a long time.

Just when Hu Bai thought she was going to get angry, he prepared a whole bunch of sweet words to coax her.

Qian Renxue suddenly sighed.

She looked up, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions, but mostly with a sense of relief.

"noob."

"Ok?"

"to be honest."

Qian Renxue looked into Hu Bai's eyes and said earnestly, "If you really like Gu Yuena..."

"I...I won't mind."

Hu Bai was taken aback, somewhat surprised.

"Really? Sister Xiaoxue, you must be joking."

"If I really dared to do that, wouldn't you be wielding the angel's sword and trying to kill me?"

Qian Renxue shook her head very seriously. "I'm not joking."

"Okay, actually I still mind a little."

"After all, who would willingly share their lover with someone else?"

“But…” Qian Renxue gave a bitter smile, “If you really want to be with her, I won’t say anything.”

“I can tell.”

"Gu Yuena's feelings for you."

"She is the Silver Dragon King, such a proud being, yet she is willing to silently give for you."

"Now that I've heard about her identity and what you've been through this past year, I understand even better."

"If it were me, I might not be able to do better than her."

At this point, Qian Renxue took a deep breath, a hint of magnanimity befitting an "official wife" flashing in her eyes.

"As long as you always have me in your heart."

"Just don't forget that I was the first person to meet you and the one who loved you the most, Qian Renxue."

"This is enough."

Hu Bai looked at the sensible girl in front of him, a girl whose maturity was so touching it made his heart ache.

A warm feeling welled up in my heart.

However, he did not dwell on this sensitive topic or make any false promises.

Sometimes, doing is more important than saying.

He gently flicked Qian Renxue's nose, directly changing the subject.

"Fool, why think that far ahead?"

"lets change a topic."

"I have a whole year of vacation now."

"This year."

Hu Bai leaned close to her ear and said with a wicked grin:

"I'm not going anywhere."

"I'll stay with you."

"And incidentally, I'll be watching you complete the upcoming divine test."

Qian Renxue burst into laughter through her tears and playfully punched him.

"Huh, who cares?"

……

The next three days.

Hu Bai kept his promise.

The two of them were like an ordinary couple who had cast aside all their troubles, living a carefree life together.

The first morning.

Qian Renxue suddenly had a whimsical idea: to make breakfast for Hu Bai.

As a result, they almost blew up the kitchen of the offering hall.

"Cough cough, Xiaobai, why is this fire so hard to control!"

Qian Renxue, covered in soot, held the spatula.

Hu Bai laughed until his stomach hurt. A young master of the Spirit Hall who never lifted a finger was actually going to make him breakfast.

In the end, Hu Bai personally prepared a sumptuous breakfast.

Qian Renxue ate with her mouth full of oil, and while eating, she commented arrogantly, "It's just... so-so."

"I'll definitely be able to do better than you in the future!"

The next day in the afternoon.

The two strolled in the back mountain of Wuhun City.

There was no cultivation, no divine test.

They simply held hands and looked at the red leaves covering the mountains.

Qian Renxue, like a little girl, insisted that Hu Bai carry her on his back.

Hu Bai was naturally happy to oblige, carrying this stunning beauty on his back while listening to her humming an unknown tune in his ear.

Peace and tranquility are the best things in life.

Day three.

The two disguised themselves and changed into ordinary clothes.

Hand in hand, they strolled through every corner of Wuhun City.

I ate some roadside snacks and watched some street performances.

He even tossed two coins into the wishing well like a fool.

"What did you wish for?" Qian Renxue asked curiously.

"It won't work if you say it out loud," Hu Bai said with a mysterious smile.

Actually, his wish was very simple.

May this continent be free of war forever.

I hope everyone around me can have their wishes fulfilled.

Qian Renxue pursed her lips.

"mean."

She silently said to herself:

May Xiaobai... always be safe and sound.

The night is falling and the sky is dotted with stars.

There were no lights on in Hu Bai's room.

Only the bright moonlight outside the window, filtering through the sheer curtains of the French windows, cast a hazy and ambiguous silver veil over the entire room.

At this moment, Qian Renxue had just finished bathing.

Instead of wearing her usual golden palace dress that symbolized majesty and holiness, she changed into an extremely thin, pale gold silk nightgown.

Her wet blonde hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and water droplets slid down her slender neck, across her delicate collarbone, and finally disappeared into that alluring abyss.

She sat on the edge of the bed, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes with her hands, her eyes showing a hint of panic and shyness that she would never normally show.

"What are you thinking about?"

A warm breath suddenly sprayed near her ear.

Hu Bai had appeared behind her without her noticing, his arms naturally encircling her slender waist, his chin gently resting on her fragrant shoulder.

Qian Renxue trembled slightly, like a startled fawn.

Even though it wasn't the first time she'd experienced something like this, she still felt nervous about what was to come.

"No...nothing."

She tried to struggle, but her body honestly leaned back, greedily absorbing the warmth of the man's chest behind her.

"Liar."

Hu Bai chuckled softly, a deep and magnetic laugh that sounded particularly alluring in the quiet night.

His hands were restless, gently caressing her lower abdomen through the silky satin.

Is it because of tomorrow's seventh exam? Or because of me?

With her secret exposed, Qian Renxue's cheeks instantly flushed crimson, making her appear exquisitely beautiful in the moonlight.

She turned around, her beautiful eyes glaring at Hu Bai with a mixture of reproach and arrogance.

"Hmph, who...who has a racing heart for you?"

"I'm worried... worried about tomorrow's assessment."

"I wonder if I can gain the approval of the Angelic Holy Sword..."

Before she could finish speaking, a finger gently pressed against her red lips.

As Hu Bai looked at her, the playfulness in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by an intense and unwavering affection.

"Shhh."

"No mention of the assessment tonight."

Looking at the handsome face so close to her, and those eyes that seemed to contain a vast starry sky, Qian Renxue felt as if her soul was about to be drawn into them.

"noob……"

Her voice became soft and hoarse.

That night, the moonlight outside the window shyly hid behind the clouds.

Until late at night.

Qian Renxue, like a lazy kitten, curled up in Hu Bai's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Tears still clung to the corners of her eyes, but a satisfied and happy smile curved her lips.

Hu Bai gently covered her with the blanket, looking at her unguarded sleeping face with pity in his eyes.

Goodnight, my angel.

Hu Bai gently kissed her forehead, then embraced her and drifted off to sleep.

Early on the fourth day.

As the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room, Qian Renxue got up early and changed into a smart outfit.

She stood by the window, watching the rising sun, the tenderness in her eyes gradually fading.

These three days were the happiest time of her life.

But she also knew that she couldn't continue to wallow in it forever.

Especially when she thought of that formidable rival in love, Gu Yuena.

Thinking about Gu Yuena's future goal of becoming the Dragon God, she felt a sense of urgency.

If she doesn't work hard, even if Xiaobai doesn't look down on her, she will still feel that she is not good enough for him.

"noob."

"Hmm?" Hu Bai walked behind her and straightened her collar.

"I'm ready."

Qian Renxue turned around and looked directly into Hu Bai's eyes.

"These three days have been the happiest three days of my life."

"But I also know that the land of gentle pleasures is the graveyard of heroes."

"I'm going to begin the seventh trial of the angels."

Hu Bai looked at her and smiled, "Go ahead. I'll watch over you outside."

Then, the two walked out of the room side by side and strode towards the majestic Temple of Angels.

There, a long-dormant angelic sword awaits its master.

The Angel's Seventh Test Begins!
