Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

So, could Qian Renxue say that? No! Wouldn't that just deepen the girl's psychological trauma?

"Rongrong, without Huahua, you are the core of the team. You have really grown a lot, but there is no need to put too much pressure on yourself."

"Thank you, Brother Xue."

...

Qian Shui, who was idling in the backyard, was obviously eavesdropping on their conversation, but later it became just casual chatting about everyday trivia.

Bai Chenxiang, who had helped take care of Qian Qingyu, saw Qian Shui again. She was standing in front of him with a serious expression, while Qian Qingyu, who was lying on Xiao Ganyang's back, silently swayed with Xiao Ganyang's steps, making the scene somewhat comical.

"Don't look at me like that. Xue Qinghe and I have been good friends for a long time."

Fortunately, Qian Shui's son was growing up very fast and didn't look like a two-year-old at all. He was just visiting a friend at the Crown Prince's residence. Otherwise, Bai Chenxiang would have definitely noticed something.

However, ever since Bai Chenxiang learned that Qianshui was not only married but also had a son, it felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

Qian Renxue understood perfectly well, but she didn't tell Qian Shui about the little girl's little thoughts.

"You won't blame me for what happened to your cousin, will you?"

Speaking of Tang San, Bai Chenxiang didn't really understand what had happened. When Ling Yunzhi took her back to Tian Dou City, he gave her a brief explanation: it was the crime of killing one's master. Today, when Qian Shui asked about it, Bai Chenxiang only shook her head.

"Alright, speaking of which, I don't really know how to arrange things for you. You should go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to report for duty first. You know Qian Shuishui, right? She's my other disciple. She's there."

"Another disciple?! Your Majesty! No, teacher!"

I don't know what the child misunderstood. The other one Qian Shui mentioned was, of course, that Ning Huahua was also his disciple on the surface.

Unfortunately, in a moment of distraction, the little girl's head fell down.

In Douluo Continent, the apprenticeship ceremony doesn't require kowtowing. Back then, when I became an apprentice to Bibi Dong, it was mainly to act subservient and incidentally build a bridge between Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and things have come to this point.

But since we've already done it, he said, "Tsk, fine, one more won't make a difference. I'll take you in. Hmm~ It sounds like you're building a harem. Here's what we'll do: you can rest at the Crown Prince's residence today, and tomorrow you'll go to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy with Ning Huahua, who's your senior sister."

"is teacher."

With Bai Chenxiang's matter resolved, Qian Shui had to rush to the next meeting. Qian Renxue was already calling for help, so he picked up his son and led Xiao Ganyang towards the council hall.

"Brother Xue, I know I was too young back then, but I'm all grown up now, I can do it!"

Seeing Ning Rongrong's little hand already touching her thigh, Qian Renxue exclaimed in dismay. Even with her clever little brain, she couldn't understand why the topic and atmosphere had suddenly become so strange.

More importantly, Ning Rongrong's face is so tempting that it makes her want to commit a crime!

"Rongrong! No!"

"Brother Xue! I look just like Ning Huahua! I really can!"

"But didn't you say you liked Qian Shui?!"

At this moment, Ning Rongrong had already pressed herself against him, but Qian Renxue brought up Ning Rongrong's often-mentioned feelings for Qian Shui, attempting a final act of resistance. However, Ning Rongrong lowered her head and murmured, "Brother Xue, Rongrong is a bad girl; she actually has feelings for two people..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Ning Rongrong raised her flushed face again and said hysterically, "Brother Xue! Take Rongrong with you! Rongrong will be your woman! Then! Then Rongrong will be your woman in peace and will forget him!"

Whom have been forgotten? A thousand streams are the Xueqing River, and a thousand fathoms of snow are also the Xueqing River.

Qian Renxue: The Qian Shui you like is me too!!! Little Shui, please save me!

As expected, Qian Shui finally proved reliable for once. "Ahem!"

At this moment, Ning Rongrong, her face flushed and eyes red like mosquito coils, was pressing Xue Qinghe down onto the sofa, while Xue Qinghe dared not move.

When the coughing sounded, the two turned to look at Ning Huahua, who was holding her son.

"I knew it! Why didn't you just marry me sooner?"

When Ning Huahua's signature accented teasing voice rang out, the enchanting atmosphere was finally shattered.

In Qian Shui's eyes, not only were Ning Rongrong's tears overflowing, but Qian Renxue was also so anxious that she was almost crying. Fortunately, Shen Guang Po Wang was there, otherwise Xue Qinghe's face would have looked really strange.

"what!!!"

Ning Rongrong retreated hastily, speeding away from the crime scene. She felt her life was over.

"Hahaha! Xiaoxue, it has to be you!"

Seeing that Ning Rongrong had run away, the two of them changed back to normal.

Dressed in a white and gold palace gown, Qian Renxue's face flushed crimson. She instinctively hugged her son, threatening to scold him sternly, "Qianshui! Stop laughing! If you laugh again, I'll..."

"You're just going to give me a hehehehe~?"

"Come on! Your son is still here!"

"Giggle! Who told you to bring up weddings and funerals?"

"Forget it, that child is bewitched. Even if I don't mention anything, she'll change the subject anyway!"

"Why don't you just take her in?"

...

"When the true nature responds to things, it attains its true nature; when it is always responding and always still, it is always pure and tranquil."

"Xiao Shui, get up quickly, isn't Chen Xiang still waiting for you?"

Qian Shui, who was being slapped on her pert buttocks, didn't want to move at all. As the saying goes, before marriage, lust is a knife above one's head; after marriage, lust is a knife above one's head. Even the harmony of yin and yang must have a limit.

Looking at the refreshed Qian Renxue, Qian Shui felt that perhaps she really was the true protagonist of this world. Luckily, he was capable, and Douluo Continent was not a female-oriented online novel, otherwise he would have been a member of the harem even if he wasn't a backup.

"Quick!" Qian Renxue took the red silk that Ning Huahua often wore from the Trident of the Sea God and threw it on Qian Shui's butt.

Qian Shui: "Sigh, it's not that I'm afraid of my wife, it's that I love her!"

Accompanied by his little follower Feng Jingyi and his newly accepted apprentice Bai Chenxiang, they arrived at the Royal Fighting Second Team's base at noon.

Gathering everyone in the conference room and facing the students with varying expressions, he acted as if nothing had happened the day before. After everyone was seated, Qian Shui began to announce the arrangements for the qualifying rounds.

"As you all know, the rankings for the qualifying rounds are still conducted separately in the two empires, with positions numbered from one to fifteen."

The qualifying rounds are essentially one-on-one duels; the winners defend their spots until one side's entire squad has been defeated.

Then Ning Huahua changed the subject: "Given your performance yesterday and the actual situation, I will only send Shui Shui to participate in the qualifying round!"

These words caused an uproar throughout the room, except for the young apprentice himself.

"Sister Hua'er, this is not fair!" Dai Mubai reacted the most strongly, immediately slamming his hand on the table and standing up to protest.

Although the qualifying rounds are not the finals, they are a great opportunity for young people to showcase their talents and get to know each other. This is of great benefit to the various factions and the young students in their future interpersonal relationships and career choices.

Ning Huahua simply replied, "Fair? Dai Mubai, this is the Heaven Dou Empire. Do you really want to become famous?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai immediately fell silent, but Xiao Wu jumped in, "Hey! They're crazy, but I, Xiao Wu, can handle this!"

Ma Hongjun: "That's right, Sister Hua, I also want to show off."

Ignoring Xiao Wu's jumping up and down, Ning Huahua sneered, "You all smell quite nice. Were the girls from yesterday pretty good?"

Indeed…

"Go cultivate!" Finally, Ning Huahua frowned and shouted, startling everyone so much that they all turned and ran away.

"Xiao Wu, Shui Shui, stay a moment."

Before leaving, Ning Rongrong glanced back. Ning Huahua hadn't just brought Feng Jingyi today; there was also a new girl. She was curious but didn't dare ask. Last night, the real culprit had caught her, the 'other woman,' and she was still flustered. Ning Huahua glanced at Ning Rongrong and ran off without looking back.

"Shui Shui, this is my junior sister."

Although Qian Shuishui wasn't exactly a beauty, the refined air of a cultivator was becoming increasingly apparent. His high Taoist bun, though slightly askew, wasn't as disheveled as Qian Shuishui's usual style. Fortunately, he was married, and Qian Renxue was there to oversee things for him.

"Greetings, Senior Sister." Bai Chenxiang was the first to bow to Qian Shuishui.

"Thousands of waters".

The title of 'Little Singer' is quite prestigious. Although she didn't have many opportunities during the Elite Competition, she had still watched one or two of Qian Shuishui's performances. Therefore, Bai Chenxiang was very clear about Qian Shuishui's strength.

“Chenxiang, don’t mind him, that’s just how he is. Shuishui, take Chenxiang around to get familiar with the environment. Your sister Xiaowu and I have something to discuss.”

"Mm." "Okay, Sister Flower."

After her two apprentices left, Xiao Wu stopped pretending and plopped down on the large table in the conference room. Her still-developing body arched backward, and she supported herself on the table with her hands, showing off her long legs.

"What are you doing? So secretive! And, Sister Xiaowu, I'm going to fight! The competition will last at least half a month! Are you trying to bore me to death?!"

Seeing Xiao Wu's attitude, Qian Shui admired her but also sighed inwardly that he couldn't afford to lose without the right tools. "Rabbit thief, you're out of luck. From today onwards, you can focus on refining your soul. You won't even make it to the finals."

Xiao Wu objected to Qian Shui's suggestion. The training under Qian Shui's guidance was already tedious and boring, and the Elite Tournament was a good way to relax, but she still refused.

Somewhat infuriated, Xiao Wu disregarded Qian Shui's cultivation level and showed no fear, pointing her finger at his nose and shouting, "Hey! Qian Shui! Are you looking down on your sister Xiao Wu?!"

With a flick of his hand, Qian Shui brushed away Xiao Wu's outstretched fingers and explained helplessly, "The finals are being held in Wuhun City. Do you know how many Soul Douluos and Title Douluos there are?"

Xiao Wu isn't stupid. After the Ice and Snow Emperors slipped away, Qian Shui would basically appear in the stands. No matter what the rabbit-headed person couldn't figure out, at least one thing was certain: it was to cover for her.

With the addition of many titled Douluo, Xiao Wu softened. Although Qian Shui was considering her feelings, she really wanted to leave. "I...Isn't it because I have you..."

Qian Shui was speechless and choked with emotion. He reminded her again, "Use your limited rabbit brain to think carefully about why I won't let you go."

"Why?" The silly rabbit blinked and acted cute, replying quickly without even thinking.

"I told you to think about it, but you've become stupid! Just think about it simply: once my Spirit Hall returns to Spirit City, there will definitely be things to do! How can I possibly take care of you every moment?" Qian Shui said irritably.

"Then go find Sister Xue and Sister Bing. With them, I won't be afraid anymore," Xiao Wu tried to make a last-ditch effort.

Then Qian Shui shattered her last hope, "You're overthinking it. My teacher is also level 99, and she also has twin martial souls. She should still be missing three soul ring slots. Are you three going to give them all away together?"

"She's not your teacher..."

Qian Shui thought to himself: Teacher? My teacher is just a decoration. I'm lucky I didn't get killed by her. Do you expect her to spare your life?

"Let me put it this way, that woman, she's insane!"

Finally, the rabbit's ears drooped down, and she jumped off the conference table. She sat down in a chair on the side, propped herself up with one hand, and leaned against the conference table, completely ignoring the fact that her butt print was still on it.

Seeing that Xiao Wu had calmed down before coming back, he gave her two choices: "Just stay put and follow Sister Hongchen, or stay at my house. Don't run around, there won't be any problems."

The rabbit turned its head twice, then said indignantly, "Hmph! I really don't understand why you want to kill a transformed soul beast like me!"

As she spoke, Xiao Wu adopted a scholarly air: "Look, from your human perspective, after we transform and reach maturity, we don't need to hunt for spirit rings. In fact, we only need the last two spirit skills. After that, we're just like humans. If you take one home and nurture it, you're guaranteed a title. When our lifespan is almost over, our spirit rings and spirit bones will be greatly enhanced!"

Qian Shui's pupils dilated, his thoughts wandering. He never imagined that this rabbit's ideas would be so uniquely self-reliant, making him feel that he could make a fortune as a capitalist. "Hiss! I never thought that you, a rabbit, would think about this kind of thing?"

"So what! I'm smart, Xiao Wu!"

Instead of getting bogged down in the rabbit's intelligence issue, Qian Shui answered her previous question: "Because of the Dark Forest, you've been constantly exposing your presence in human society. Even if, as you said, someone is raising and supporting you, how can they guarantee that during the decades of crossing servers between you and your maturity stage, there won't be any leaks? Won't any of your clansmen become greedy? And won't it attract the covetousness of powerful outsiders?"
