Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

She didn't have a name; she was just called "Yatou" (丫头).

Qian Shui's soul power surged forth, causing the innate soul power within the little girl's body to circulate throughout her body, stopping after several cycles.

"Practice diligently and never stop; practice on your own and don't teach others."

As he spoke, he took out some gold soul coin storage cards and a handful of loose change from his soul tool and gave them to Xiao Wu.

"I will send you away afterward. Take these with you and go back to the Star Dou Great Forest. Do not come out unless you have the strength to be granted a title! With her by your side, you don't need to worry about not being able to transform without contact with humans!"

"And these insights on soul power cultivation, take a look at them when you have time, but mainly teach them to her."

Xiao Wu was somewhat confused by Qian Shui's actions. "What do you mean? You're going to let me go? You want me to take her to the Star Dou Great Forest? Aren't you afraid I'll kill her halfway there?"

"I will disappear without a trace, and I may reappear, but if you want to kill her, you'd better pray that I don't show up, otherwise there will be no survivors in the entire universe!"

"you…"

At this moment, Qian Shui was like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment, but his meaning was still clear: if he really wanted to release him, he wanted to let him return to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Look at yourself now!

……

As dusk fell, after seeing Xiao Wu and the other person off, Qian Shui entered Tian Dou City again.

Outside the Crown Prince's residence, Qian Shui activated her full concealment skills, and even standing in the crowd, she was still overlooked.

"I have finally returned everything to her! This is the time of farewell. Now she takes her train, and I walk my path!"

Finally, one person embarked on a path, a path of ruthlessness!

Whether there's no one to accompany me or I know it's a dead end, I'm still just a worthless life!

Perhaps dying here would be a blessing in disguise…

The Stealth Mansion placed the Soul Guidance Ring, along with everything obtained from the Spirit Hall, on Qian Renxue's bedside.

From this point on, he may have embarked on a dead end with an uncertain future.

……

Meanwhile, the arrogant and domineering Gordon was wrapped up like a dumpling and lay in the Marshal's Mansion.

But his fate was already sealed. In the blink of an eye, even the maid who was taking care of him did not notice that the young master lying on the bed had disappeared!

It was Qian Shui who took Gordon away, and he ran wildly towards the southeast without hesitation.

Target—Slaughter City!

Chapter 109 Angel's Love

The moon was bright and the stars were few. Xue Qinghe, having finished a busy day, finally returned to his dormitory. He was particularly troubled today, so he rubbed his temples, sat down, and closed his eyes to rest. Qian Shuilai's sudden appearance had only made his already hectic schedule even more overwhelming.

When she looked at him with eyes that held a hint of apology and a plea for understanding, what she saw was utter disbelief.

This was something he simply couldn't understand!

In the memory, Qian Shui would never have shown that expression when faced with his decision at the time!

Recalling the scene at that time, Xue Qinghe was certain that this was the source of his panic and even palpitations all day long, and the vague premonition that he had been feeling!

That pale face, that hesitant breathing, that expression kept flashing through my mind, and I couldn't shake it off no matter what!

He shouldn't have that expression, at least not in this situation. He should be as confident and clear-headed as usual.

As Qian Renxue, she knew Qian Shui too well. Even when facing Qian Daoliu, whom she knew was a level 99 Limit Douluo, or when Bibi Dong left him to fend for himself in the Star Dou Great Forest, or when Ning Fengzhi and his group tried to assassinate him, she could not make him act like this!

There was even a hint of fear in his eyes!

Putting myself in his shoes, if I were in his situation, I would also find a way to back down, and I wouldn't even bring Goron's idiotic son to me.

A small mistake can lead to a huge difference! Too many misunderstandings stem from this.

What Qian Renxue could never understand was the difference in mindset between the Douluo World and Earth!

Shaking his head, Xue Qinghe decided to stop thinking about it for now if he couldn't figure it out. However, when he opened his eyes, his gaze suddenly caught sight of something.

She was very familiar with it, and Qian Renxue was very familiar with it!

On the bedside table were a ring and a letter.

With a wry smile, she picked it up, still not understanding its meaning, thinking: 'Is it necessary?'

This was the very storage soul tool she had carefully selected to give to Qian Shui, which she had played with for a long time. At the time, Qian Shui had specifically requested a ring, so she knew who had placed it there without even looking.

"The trip to Sunset Forest was very fruitful. I found the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and I'm leaving it to you. I hope you'll find it useful."

Goron's idiotic son must die! I will go to the Killing City, and I will take him with me. This is my punishment for him!

I've written some things about the political affairs of Tiandou; I hope they're useful.

May all your wishes come true, like the blazing sun high in the sky, unchanging amidst the myriad dusts of the world.

Why is he so angry? Why does he even want my soul guide ring back?

After reading these few words, Qian Renxue was filled with countless questions.

As the soul power entered, the soul guide ring began to shimmer with a faint light, but the next moment it was tightly gripped by its owner!

"Qianshui, what do you mean?!"

A soft growl was emitted, causing the two titled warriors, Serpent Spear and Porcupine, who were guarding outside, to pause slightly.

Qian Renxue no longer cared about Xue Qinghe's disguise and started taking things out one by one!

"Change of clothes! Gold Soul Coins! Cultivation notes! Purple Record Medal! Questioning the Heart? Enlightening the Heart! Qian Shui, what do you mean by this?! What are you going to do with all this?! Go to the City of Slaughter like this?! What are you trying to do?! Are you looking for death?!"

Qian Renxue knew him too well; this was probably all of Qian Shui's possessions, including small inventions, food and drinks, and training equipment.

More importantly, she didn't even bring her usual weapons, which greatly weakened Qian Shui. You have to know that both martial souls and soul bones require soul power. Using weapons is a relatively low-cost way to attack, and this is a concept that Qian Shui herself told her.

As Qian Renxue looked at these things, her anxiety grew heavier and heavier. She took out the items one by one and filled the bed, as if she was trying to pull back something she was about to lose.

Qian Renxue's eyes grew increasingly moist. This feeling was becoming more and more familiar, yet more and more perplexing, but she just couldn't grasp it.

Until she saw the heartbreaking red acacia blossom!

She remembered sitting together with Qian Shui that year, looking at the painting of the immortal herb, and remembered that story.

I also recalled the moment I learned of my father's death, the pain of having a piece of my heart torn out.

That year, she and Qianshui were sitting at the table, watching Qianshui study a picture book. The book contained the immortal herb that Qianshui had mentioned in his letter, so she also glanced at it. After all, it wasn't hard to remember, especially the story of the Love-Sick Heartbreak Red, which she absolutely did not believe at the time.

The news of Qian Xunji's death was a huge blow to Qian Renxue.

During her childhood, her mother's aversion caused her immense pain. Although her status as the young master of the Spirit Hall allowed her to have almost everything, she lacked normal maternal love and friendship.

Fortunately, there was Qian Shui, and fortunately, there was someone like Qian Shui who could look at her as an equal and with whom she could confide completely.

A mother's love was something she could only long for but never attain. Her father and grandfather were among the few sources of affection she received during her childhood. Apart from them, Qian Renxue only had Qian Shui.

Therefore, she cherishes all of this and the boy who accompanied her as she grew up.

At this moment, she understood why Qian Shui's incredulous gaze had made her so flustered, and why she couldn't control her tears from falling now!

"Young Master!" Serpent Spear Douluo was the first to rush in.

Qian Renxue did not respond. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth as she stared blankly at the Acacia Heartbreak Red. Memories of her childhood flashed through her mind, and letters from over the years appeared one by one. She slumped on the edge of the bed, silent.

Why do people always only appreciate things after they've lost them? Isn't it better to seize the moment? Is that so hard to do?

Qian Renxue didn't want to lose anything anymore. At this moment, she saw her own heart clearly. She understood that in the end, their years of friendship had changed!

I don't know from which day it started, maybe it was when I was searching for him in the Starry Sky Forest, maybe it was when I suddenly looked back after he left without saying goodbye, or maybe it was when I received a reply in the dim light!

All these emotions turned into possessiveness! They turned into the feeling that everything was alright with him! They turned into love!

She loved that boy! Just like the plucked acacia blossoms, a testament to her love!

She lowered her head to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth and began to gather the items on the bed one by one. "Uncle She Long, Uncle Ci Xue, please! Take me to the City of Slaughter!"

She pleaded softly.

"But Young Master, you have more important matters to attend to, you should understand!" She Long found it hard to believe. Although she was young and inexperienced, Qian Renxue was usually absolutely rational. Why would she act like this? For Qian Shui? She was a genius, but she was not comparable to what was happening now, was she?

"I know..."

"Young Master, you shouldn't go! It's very possible that you'd disregard the Heavenly Battle Plan for that brat..."

"So what!" Qian Renxue suddenly raised her head. At this moment, she released her soul bone skill and revealed her true appearance. At fifteen years old, she had already grown into a graceful young woman, but her red eyes, tears streaming down her face, bloodstains at the corner of her mouth, and gritted teeth made her look completely out of place with her beautiful appearance.

Unable to hide her grief, she roared as she made her debut:

"My mother has always seen me as her enemy! She said I only came to Tian Dou to spite her! Yes! That's right! I admit it!"

Now I have lost my father! From now on, only my grandfather and Xiao Shui remain! If he dies because of this Heavenly Battle Plan, what is the point of me becoming the emperor of this empire and gaining the entire Douluo Continent?!

With her angelic martial spirit possessing her, she soared into the sky; she was in such a hurry! She unleashed her soul skills and soul power recklessly.

She was now in dire straits!

She knew Qian Shui's strength all too well: the strongest agility attacker of her level, and speed exceeding her level! With the characteristics of her Yuan Shen Martial Soul, coupled with multiple acceleration skills, Qian Shui's stealth speed was simply too fast! After breaking through to the title level, she might become the fastest person in the world! Therefore, she was extremely afraid!

She feared that Qian Shui would enter the Killing City first, without even weapons or supplies. Coupled with Dugu Bo and his group who had rushed in earlier, such a resolute break was a sign of self-destruction!

That's really the case. There's a high possibility of irreversible consequences. What good will it do for her to cry her eyes out then?

After weighing the options, she knew she had to seize this fleeting opportunity and stop Qian Shui before he arrived in the City of Slaughter, so that there might still be a chance to salvage the situation.

She Long and Ci Xue reluctantly followed.

"I'm afraid Qian Shui is really courting death. Leaving everything behind is a way of saying goodbye."

"I think so too, but young master..."

"Is there even a need to look? Love between men and women is human nature. It's probably because the young master rejected this kid during the day because of Golong's son that this situation arose. Of course, it's also because of the Heavenly Struggle Plan that this had to be done. Their views clashed, and this is all for the sake of military power."

But Miss is only carrying out this plan out of spite against His Holiness the Pope, so ultimately it's nothing more than that. What difference does it make if she loses the Heavenly Dou Empire? If you were in her shoes, would you risk your lover's life?

Ci Xue mocked his old brother mercilessly, saying that at his age he still couldn't understand this.

"That's true. The Killing City has always been a place where you can only enter and not leave. In the past hundred years, only His Holiness the current Pope and Tang Hao have been able to come out of that hellhole. Going in is just like slitting your own throat."

But wasn't that kid originally planning to go to the City of Slaughter for training? With his talent, it's not impossible for him to get out of that hellhole, is it?

The Porcupine Douluo was speechless. "Think about it yourself!" he said, then accelerated forward and used his soul power to carry Qian Renxue away at high speed.
