Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 89 Qian Renxue reappears, and you tell Qinghe you want to see me?
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin disappeared from sight.

Li Zhexian then closed the courtyard gate and turned back to the small courtyard.

No more outsiders.

Xue Qinghe's demeanor visibly relaxed.

She curled up lazily in the sandalwood chair, her delicate face full of ease.

Li Zhexian sat down opposite her with a smile.

"Aren't you busy with state affairs today? You actually have time to come with them."

"Hmm...not busy."

Xue Qinghe replied lazily with her eyes closed.

Sitting on the other side, the pufferfish and the snake spear exchanged a glance and silently curled their lips.

not busy?

Eight batches of the Crown Prince's staff have gone crazy from exhaustion!

I'm just worried that something might go wrong when you face Ning Fengzhi!
"Isn't the young master being a little too nice to Li Zhexian...?"

The two men grumbled inwardly, but leisurely picked up their teacups and took a sip.

To be fair.

They also love being here.

The fragrance of plum blossoms wafts through the air, and a gentle breeze blows; this little courtyard is truly a place that soothes the soul.

After Li Zhexian took his seat, he began to fiddle with the tea set.

He would occasionally take a small sip, his eyes lowered, remaining silent.

Xue Qinghe quietly opened her eyes and gazed at Li Zhexian.

That handsome face, with its head bowed, was not exactly sad, but it was also excessively calm.

A hint of heartache flashed deep in her eyes.

Even though Li Bai was a free spirit, he was still just a young man.

I see Ning Fengzhi again today.

Past events inevitably resurface in my mind.

Human hearts are not made of stone; how can they be without feeling?
Xue Qinghe stood up.

Silently, they circled around to behind Li Zhexian.

A pair of soft, warm hands gently covered the boy's slightly furrowed brow.

Li Zhexian seemed lost in thought and did not notice Xue Qinghe's movements until the gentle touch brought him back to his senses.

"Qinghe, you..."

He raised his head.

I met a pair of eyes that were filled with both heartache and tenderness.

"Take a nap, I... I'll stay here with you."

Li Zhexian was momentarily dazed, and a soft smile curved his lips.

"it is good."

Beneath the plum tree, in the gentle breeze.

Xue Qinghe's fingertips were warm.

He gently massaged Li Zhexian's temples.

The sight made the porcupine clench its teeth.

How could our young master, of such noble status, do such menial work?!

Snake Spear shook his head at the porcupine with a wry smile, then winked at the outside of the courtyard.

He had already keenly sensed it...

A pure, luminous energy was emanating from Xue Qinghe.

The two figures flashed and leaped over the courtyard wall.

A powerful surge of soul energy spread out, vigilantly sealing off the area around the courtyard.

In the courtyard.

A plum petal drifted down and landed on Xue Qinghe's shoulder.

Starting from the spot where the petal touched her, the power of light spread out like water, gradually enveloping her entire body.

As that holy radiance slowly dissipated.

A white and gold lace gown replaced the prince's magnificent robes.

Her long, golden hair cascaded down like a waterfall, highlighting her stunningly beautiful face.

Xueqing River no longer exists.

Standing beneath the plum tree at this moment is Qian Renxue.

The only constant...

The gaze that looked upon the sleeping boy was still tender and affectionate.

This sleep.

Li Zhexian slept exceptionally soundly.

He stretched his limbs and let out a satisfied groan.

The warm, soft touch on my forehead is still there.

He smiled and patted the table lightly.

"Thank you, Qinghe. I've slept well now."

however.

The hand beneath my palm seemed somewhat stiff, and its texture... was excessively soft and smooth.

Li Zhexian's heart skipped a beat, and he abruptly stood up and looked back.

In the afterglow of the setting sun.

A pure and beautiful figure stood quietly, radiating a glow that seemed to eclipse even the setting sun.

"You... Qian Renxue?"

Qian Renxue calmly withdrew her hand, her gaze sweeping over Li Zhexian's courtyard, and she nodded indifferently.
"This is your residence? It's quite elegant and unique."

A flicker of surprise crossed Li Zhexian's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "Where is my brother, Xue Qinghe?"

Qian Renxue glanced at him with her azure eyes.

"Xue Qinghe... had urgent official business to attend to and left ahead of time."

"Before she came, she told me..."

Qian Renxue paused for a moment, her slender hand hidden behind her back quietly clenching.

“You said you wanted to see me, so I came.”

The ambiguity in her words, "You still want to see me," made her heart tremble as she spoke.

but……

This was indeed said by Li Zhexian himself.

She wanted to see if Li Zhexian's words and actions were consistent when facing her and when facing "Xue Qinghe".

"Li Zhexian... if you only speak human language to humans and ghost language to ghosts... humph!"

Qian Renxue gently bit her lip, no longer avoiding Li Zhexian's gaze.

Instead, he bravely raised his eyelids and looked directly at the latter.

Tension and anticipation were hidden deep within his eyes.

Under her shimmering eyes.

Li Zhexian nodded frankly in acknowledgment.

"Yes, I did tell Qinghe that I wanted to see you."

"you……"

Qian Renxue's long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, and her slender hands creased the hem of her skirt.

She gently bit her cherry lips, but couldn't suppress the dimples that appeared at the corners of her mouth.

When I saw Li Zhexian's smiling eyes.

She hurriedly turned her face away, but her eyes were more dazzling and captivating than the Milky Way.

"I want to come..."

"You haven't properly explored Heaven Dou City yet, have you?"

"Shall I take you for a walk?"

Li Zhexian reached out his hand to Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue could only hear her own rapid breathing.

Her slender fingers twisted nervously, and she anxiously placed her hand into Li Zhexian's warm palm.

Li Zhexian's lips curled up.

Step on the ground.

A few light and agile rises and falls.

He then led Qian Renxue out of the courtyard.

Golden hair fluttered in the wind. Qian Renxue glanced at the handsome profile of the boy beside her, her heart pounding like a frantic deer, each leap sending shivers of pleasure through her.

The expressions of the porcupine and the snake spear, hidden in the shadows, suddenly changed.

Not only because they saw the two holding hands intimately, but also because they were worried that Qian Renxue's true appearance would be exposed to the public, which might cause trouble.

But it was clear that Li Zhexian was heading towards the secluded Lotus Lake on the outskirts of the city.

The two felt somewhat relieved.

He quickly concealed his presence and followed closely in secret.

Li Zhexian led Qian Renxue to the shore of Lotus Lake.

The two lay casually on the soft lawn, letting the gentle sunset bathe them.

As dusk settled and the stars began to appear.

Qian Renxue reluctantly got up and bid farewell to Li Zhexian.

"Li Zhexian..."

Her voice carried a hint of barely concealed nervousness.

I don't know if this is too unreserved.

But if you don't say it out loud.

She won't be able to sleep tonight.

"If...if you still want to see me..."

"Just...just tell Xue Qinghe...I will definitely come to see you..."

The setting sun cast a hazy halo around the stunning blonde girl, making her appear both holy and gentle.

Li Zhexian smiled warmly and nodded in response:

"it is good."

the following few days.

Li Bai's life seemed to have returned to peace.

In addition to breaking through to level 34 in soul power, he also honed his Azure Lotus Sword Song many times.

however.

this day.

In front of the gate of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Bang bang——!
Bang bang——!
Yu Feng, Aos Luo, and the Shi brothers lay on the ground, their faces contorted in pain.

Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling were pressed down by an oppressive force and were unable to move.

Listening to the frightened whispers of the students watching.

Tyrone was about to kneel down in front of an old man.

"Grandpa, I'm begging you!"

"You should go back. If you keep going like this, I won't be able to stay at the academy!"
