Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

"Oh dear~ Xiaoxue, if you transform into another woman's appearance, hehe! Then I'll give you hehehehe!"

(Transformation Soul Skill is the best! With this, you have the whole world! — Thousand Water Douluo)

Qian Renxue: "Then you can transform into Xue Qinghe or Yu Tianheng, and I will transform too!"

Qian Shui: "No! And another one! Why is it Yu Tianheng?!"

Chapter 233 Confession

As the saying goes, one learns from one's mistakes, but by deliberately starting the fire, Qian Shui almost experienced the pleasure of being a woman again.

"Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you lately? You always seem to lack energy?"

On the bed in the Crown Prince's residence, after a long day of work, Qian Shui gently brushed aside the little angel's golden hair, which was damp with sweat, and asked with concern.

He wondered what had happened lately, so why was his wife so distracted?

Qian Renxue's purple eyes flashed with worry as she stared intently at the man, her arms wrapped tightly around him as if afraid he would disappear from her embrace: "Xiao Shui, if I do something bad, will you forgive me?"

Qian Shui was a little confused by the little angel's attitude. Judging from her appearance, what she was worried about was probably related to her, but this only made Qian Shui nervous. "Xiao Xue, you're not thinking of breaking up with me again, are you?"

Qian Renxue paused for a moment, seemingly joking, but then nodded mischievously.

Qian Shui was really taking it seriously, and struggled to sit up: "Eh! No...don't!"

Qian Renxue hugged him even tighter, pressing her face against Qian Shui's chest, listening to his pounding heartbeat, her expression darkening.

Having made up her mind, she decided to speak up: "Little Water, didn't you notice what Sister Feng did?"

Qian Shui: "Sister Feng? Why are you bringing her up out of the blue?"

The little angel didn't look up, and continued, "We invited her, but she didn't come to our wedding. Don't you find that strange?"

"this…"

Qian Shui probably guessed in his imagination that something was wrong, or that he didn't want to come.

This was quite awkward. He didn't ask Chensha at the time, thinking that a happy wedding shouldn't be ruined like this.

But it was particularly strange that Qian Renxue brought it up at this moment. It seemed to come out of nowhere. Besides, she wasn't the kind of person who liked to bring up pointless questions like "I and your mother fell into the river at the same time."

"She's entered the City of Slaughter!"

"Oh."

Qian Shui's calm answer surprised Qian Renxue, who propped herself up on her arms and looked at Qian Shui in disbelief.

"I personally taught Sister Feng; she's no ordinary Soul Master. Her swordsmanship talent is exceptional; she'll be unstoppable in the City of Slaughter, no problem at all!"

Although he was a little surprised that he didn't know about this news, after all, he and Qian Renxue were now like one person, how could he miss such important news?

But after thinking about it for a bit, there's nothing to worry about. After all, it's Feng Jingyi. It would be a different story if it were any of the other members of the team.

"Xiao Shui, do you remember when I said that men who always stay still are boring?"

"Yes, that's why I went on a world tour to increase my strength."

At this point, Qian Renxue's tone suddenly became agitated, "Sister Feng had already set off for the City of Slaughter at that time, and I... I just wanted you to appear before the world so that this news could stop her!"

"But why didn't you..." and just notify Feng Jingyi directly.

As soon as the question was on the tip of his tongue, he understood: Feng Jingyi had entered the City of Slaughter in search of him, a person who had vanished without a trace.

Why did Feng Jingyi go, while everyone else did? Was it simply because she could pass through the City of Slaughter more easily?

Memories from many years ago suddenly surfaced: the sword-wielding girl's gradual approach; the tidying of clothes in the frozen forest; and even the final farewell confession.

Qian Renxue had clearly sensed all of this earlier than he had, and even took it as a threat. But can matters of the heart truly be considered wrong? Just like his own intentional or unintentional targeting of Tang San, this was something he should never have done after years of cultivating his temper.

Qian Shui's mood clearly dropped. "They haven't come out yet?"

The only response he received was a shake of his head and the dampness on his chest.

"I should have said so sooner!"

He finally understood what Qian Renxue was worried about. Ling Yunzhi's appearance exposed the emotional problems between the couple, but the root cause was Ling Yunzhi's amnesia.

Before losing his memory, Ling Yunzhi liked Feng Jingyi, and no one knew this better than Qian Shui. Shui Zhen'er's relationship with Ling Yunzhi was built on a hollow foundation, so she was afraid. She was afraid that once Ling Yunzhi regained his memory, he would remember his former love and might even despise her for what she had done and abandon her.

Shui was lucky to meet Ling Yunzhi, who was like a protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel. However, he was not Li Xiaoyao, and Feng Jingyi was not Zhao Ling'er.

However, the woman behind all this, Feng Jingyi, has captured Qian Renxue's heart. Love is not child's play, because her jealousy back then could very well have killed Feng Jingyi, making it difficult for Qian Renxue to face Qian Shui.

She knew Qian Shui's personality; though she didn't show it, she was very sentimental. This was something Qian Shui cared about deeply. What if, in the worst-case scenario, Qian Shui got angry? What would happen to her and the child?

Even though she knew he wouldn't, she couldn't help but think in that direction. Whenever she did, she felt as if she were falling into an ice cave, and a suffocating pain would overwhelm her.

Qian Shui gently stopped the little angel, stroking her soft golden hair. He also remembered how she had tried to imitate Feng Jingyi's style back then. At that time, he was still a blockhead and only thought it was great and appealing to him.

Only now does he realize that it was simply because Qian Renxue thought he liked it.

He couldn't blame Qian Renxue for this. If he were in her shoes, and someone dared to stand in front of him and compete with him for Qian Renxue, he really didn't know what he would do.

"Where did this timid, womanly mentality come from? You weren't like this when you were sitting on the podium during the day. You have the aura of an emperor. You're much more domineering than those old guys like Xueye!"

Finally, Qian Renxue raised her cat-like face: "Aren't you angry with me?"

"There's no use complaining... Besides, it's already a huge favor that you let me out. If it were me, I would definitely keep you as a mistress!"

What is meant by "keeping a mistress in a golden house"?

"That's a story, I'll tell you later. Anyway, it's partly my fault, but Mom really made me hesitant to act against her."

If I had shown up then, she would have definitely dragged me back to Spirit City, and I wouldn't have been able to leave. But I couldn't help it; I wanted to stay by your side.

They discussed it with me first, saying they'd notify me separately, but our little angel was worried about having one more person in our room, right?

Qian Shui sighed and pinched Qian Renxue's softness, his face full of teasing.

"You're so mean!" Qian Renxue slapped away the mischievous hand, but still asked worriedly, "What about Sister Feng?"

She knew this man better than anyone else; his heart had probably already flown to the City of Slaughter, wanting to find out what was going on.

"Sigh..." Qian Shui sighed softly, lamenting the unpredictability of fate.

Without his presence, Feng Jingyi might not even have had the chance to appear before the world.

Her fate would be like that of an ordinary sect disciple: marrying someone she doesn't like, getting used to this life for certain benefits, until she faces the Battle of Jialing Pass.

Perhaps people are born with a destiny. Just like Qian Renxue, she is a chosen one of heaven no matter what. Cultivation is as simple and easy for her as breathing. Once she solves the troubles on her way forward, everything will go smoothly for her.

But the girls from the Wind Sword Sect were different. Even the Wind Sword Sect itself was relatively unknown, but Qian Shui's appearance gave this girl a rope to reach the peak and escape her fate.

How could she not cling tightly to this only straw?

Qianshui doesn't believe in fate, but the heat death of matter and the universal laws governing the development of all things in the world exist. Whether you want to admit it or not, when you are too obsessed with something, you will either succeed or fall into ruin.

Staring blankly in the southeast, towards the City of Slaughter, Qian Shui did not cover it with his divine sense. The strongest third person in the world was stationed there, and it was also the place of divine examination. He did not want to alert the enemy.

"I'll go. I'll have to go sooner or later anyway. It'll only take six or seven days at most to resolve this. Whether it's good or bad, I need to know the final result. It'll be a way to give myself, us, and my teammates an explanation!"

"I'm going too! For Sister Feng!"

"What about this place..."

"It shouldn't take you long to deal with the King of Slaughter, right?"

"That's true."

……

In this year's Elite Tournament, a total of 28 Soul Master teams from the Tiandou region participated, and the results of the first round of the competition could not be obtained in one day.

Three days have passed since the first match of the Royal Fighting Team 2, and it took three days to complete the first round of competition.

As the first match of the first round of the qualifiers, the Royal Fighting Team 2 left a deep impression on the audience.

Although the battle was brief and the twin Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagodas were dazzling, the terrifying strength of the little disciple alone was somewhat exaggerated. The news of her being a 'Singer' disciple and having the same martial soul spread like wildfire, naturally causing an even greater sensation.

"Why has that woman disappeared again?"

Standing before the Soul Battle Arena once again, Ning Rongrong made no attempt to hide her contempt for Ning Huahua's laziness.

Since Ning Huahua didn't come, Qin Ming took charge of leading the team. "Alright, Rongrong, perhaps Her Highness the Crown Princess has something important to discuss."

Your opponent this time is Elephant Armor Academy.

You've heard of the Elephant Armor Sect, right? It's ranked sixth among the seven major sects. Your opponents today come from the Elephant Armor Academy, which was founded by the Elephant Armor Sect.

The opposing team's seven participants were all direct descendants of the Elephant Armor Sect. Three of them had reached level 40, and the other four were also close to level 40, making them the new generation of elites of the Elephant Armor Sect.

Ning Rongrong, who knew these things best, blurted out: "Is it that ancestral martial soul called Diamond Mammoth, a martial soul with extremely high defensive power? If it weren't for the fact that the Elephant Armor Sect doesn't have a single Title Douluo, their ranking would probably be more than just sixth among the seven major sects."

At this point, everyone turned to look at the young girl, Qian Shuishui.

Dai Mubai: "Sigh, it seems Shui Shui is the only one standing out again..."

Ma Hongjun: "Absolutely! They were really unlucky to run into someone who ignores defenses. If this were on a real battlefield, they'd all be finished."

Xiao Wu was very excited, "Hahaha! That guy's not here, I can finally go on stage! Shui Shui, don't rush when you get on, let us have some fun!"

Ning Rongrong: "Xiao Wu, I seriously doubt you can walk off the Soul Arena like this..."

Chapter 234 Wind Witch

“We don’t have any substitutes, no true control-type Soul Masters, not because we’re lacking in resources, but because we’re strong enough that we don’t need them. In this battle, Dai Mubai will be the main attacker, holding the line; Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, and Fatty will roam and attack when they see an opportunity, but their effectiveness may be limited; Oscar and I will naturally be the support, and Shui Shui will be the one to deliver the decisive blow. Let’s go, this battle is pretty much a foregone conclusion.”

Everyone responded, "Yes!"

Xiao Wu: "Charge! Charge! Charge!"

Qin Ming looked at Ning Rongrong, a young lady from a major sect, with a somewhat dazed expression, as if her elder sister, the Crown Princess, who looked similar to her, was standing right there, commanding her team with absolute leadership.

As she walked out the door, the young lady's figure still looked somewhat frail, but the new look in her eyes was something Qin Ming had never seen before.

For some reason, Qin Ming felt that if he dressed her in armor, her future might be more brilliant than that of all the generals and commanders of the empire.

It wasn't because of her exceptionally talented older sister; it wasn't because of her brother-in-law, the crown prince who held power in the empire; and it wasn't even because she was the daughter of the leader of the second-largest sect in the world. It was simply because of her name, Ning Rongrong.

"How could I have such a thought? Just because she maintained first place in the theory exam?"

Qin Ming smiled slightly; Ning Rongrong's performance in recent years could no longer be described as outstanding.

Excluding anomalies like Qian Shuishui, this girl not only has the fastest level growth, but also consistently ranks first in theoretical scores.
