Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 112 Xue'er Fishing and Sharing Her Heartfelt Thoughts

"Fishing?" Hyotei was taken aback, then glanced at Qian Renxue, who was currently by the window, communicating with Ye Xishui via a soul communication device.

"Do you remember when we were at headquarters, the Soul Master who picked up Sister Xue Di was also a member of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family?" Shen Yuanyi said in a low voice.

"In a sense, Miss wants to have the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire in her hands. Perhaps she wants to know more about the Sun Moon royal family in order to better control the Crown Prince's life. And this Soul Master may be a grudge against Xu Tianran's lineage, but he survived only under the protection of Mingde Hall."

"She wants to... completely turn the Sun Moon Empire into her own stronghold! And controlling the royal family is a shortcut!" The Ice Emperor realized, "It's like if someone controlled me and Sister Xue'er, the entire far north would bow down to them!"

"Xiaoxue treats us as friends, that's for sure." Xue Di smiled. "Otherwise, she could have controlled me directly back then, instead of teaching me so many things about the human world."

"So this Soul Master is probably just bait to catch bigger and bigger fish," Shen Yuanyi said. "I have a feeling that this isn't the first time Miss has done something like this; she's too adept at it."

"After this is over, can I use Hyotei's Claw to poke that scumbag?" Hyotei still seemed to be furious.

"After chopping off their hands and feet, stuff half their body into a copper pot, leaving their head sticking out, then throw them into the far north to freeze to death!" Shen Yuanyi said fiercely. "That's what happens when you offend our Holy Spirit Cult's ice and snow offerings!"

Now it was Hyotei's turn to be shocked: "Is this the rule of the Holy Spirit Cult? In comparison, I was just preparing to simply kill him..."

"This isn't the rule of the Holy Spirit Cult. If it were someone from the Holy Spirit Cult, they would probably squeeze every last drop of value out of him before refining his soul," Shen Yuanyi said in a low voice. "You haven't seen the dark side of the Holy Spirit Cult yet."

"Or rather, it's the dark side of humanity. Once people have tasted the benefits of power, they usually can't refuse it." Qian Renxue walked in. "The teacher said she'll be back in the next day or two, which coincides with her monthly break."

"You've been chatting for so long, and this is all you've said?" Xue Di asked.

"Not only that, the teacher is currently in the Mingdou Mountains in the southern part of the mainland. She said she discovered a small group there. They are not many people, but they have a pretty big name. They are called something like the Grim Reaper Messenger. She thinks this group is interesting, so she wants to go and see them," Qian Renxue said.

"Do I need to tell you such a trivial matter?" Hyotei scoffed.

"Maybe she's feeling lonely over there all by herself, so she wanted to talk to someone. There's nothing more to it than a casual chat," Qian Renxue said calmly. "Little fox, you've neglected your duty."

Shen Yuanyi was startled: "No, I often ask the teacher to cook porridge for me."

"Then it must be because I haven't been in touch with her much lately?" Qian Renxue patted her head. "That's right, older people always like to have someone to chat with."

The two ice and snow emperors exchanged a glance. Is this what emotions are like in the human world?

In fact, Qian Renxue only thought of this matter suddenly. If she had had something as convenient as soul guidance communication in her previous life, perhaps her connection with the Spirit Hall... and with her would have been stronger.

Some regrets can never be undone. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little down.

"What's wrong?" The other three looked over.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about something from the past." Qian Renxue shook her head.

"Miss, you can't do this again," Shen Yuanyi suddenly said.

"What's wrong?" Qian Renxue asked, puzzled.

"She's saying that you recklessly accepted Xiao Hongchen's challenge today," Xue Di said, "and even took on a fight that should have been hers."

Hyotei nodded slightly: "Yes, I heard about what happened today. If this had happened in the far north, I would have been the one to deal with the invading enemy, not Sister Yuki."

"They say a noblewoman shouldn't sit under a dangerous roof, but you, Miss, are a saintess of the Holy Spirit Church, which is equivalent to a princess in the empire. What princess doesn't hide in her room playing with embroidery, but instead sends herself to the battlefield? You do everything, what else do you need me to do?" Shen Yuanyi pouted.

"Oh, that?" Qian Renxue smiled casually. "Because my position has never just been high up; I'm also on the battlefield."

The Snow Emperor nodded in agreement: "I agree with you on this point, Little Snow. Truly capable emperors personally lead their armies into battle!"

"You mean you personally beat Atai half to death?" Hyotei teased. Yukiko glared at her, annoyed, and retorted twice... Looks like their relationship is heating up lately?

"A long time ago, my father told me that leaders always look at problems from a higher perspective, such as a war, or even the whole world," Qian Renxue said softly. "They watch those who fight for themselves fight desperately, trampling each other like ants with their enemies, and then dying."

"But you stand high above, commanding all of this with such elegance. You feel no pain, all dressed in fine clothes, and their blood doesn't even splatter on you. How cool is that?"

These were indeed the words Qian Xunji had spoken to her a long, long time ago, and the ideas he had instilled in her.

As Qian Renxue spoke, her eyes seemed to blaze with fire: "But I can't, because my position isn't at that high place. After giving the order, I'll rush to that battlefield as well. Every minute, every second, I'll see my comrades die; they'll surround me, right all around me."

Hearing this, the other three sat up straight. Although they didn't know what had happened to Xiaoxue, her tone and everything she said were incredibly vivid.

"I could clearly see their faces, their blood, their broken bodies... As they sacrificed themselves, they said to me, 'As long as you are alive, then we have not lost in the martial world.'"

"But I know every single one of them. We were even joking and encouraging each other the day before the battle. They are my comrades, my family..." Qian Renxue said softly at the end. "I can't imagine myself being unmoved when they die."

"You are such a kind person." Shen Yuanyi nodded.

"Kindness? Someone once described me as an executioner." Qian Renxue smiled silently.

"Have you killed many people?" Xue Di asked.

"Quite a few, I suppose?" Qian Renxue thought for a moment and said casually.

Both Hyotei and Yuki-tei fell silent, once again sensing a different feeling, especially Hyotei. This feeling was that staying by Qian Renxue's side would be their best choice in the human world.

Although I don't know what happened that Qian Renxue mentioned about killing many people.

If we really count it, back in the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, she used all sorts of means to kill no fewer than three digits of people in order to rise to power, including ministers who refused to submit, their guards, and some troublesome people that she asked the Serpent Spear and Porcupine to handle.

After the plan failed, before leaving Heaven Dou City, he lured two thousand palace soul master guards and some disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School into a fight. I don't know what the final result was, but I guess many of them died.

"You don't need to blame yourself so much," the little devil said. "Back in the palace, I was the one who came up with many of the ruthless ideas. With your silly little brain back then..."

"This is a matter between the two of us, how can you take all the blame?" The little angel smiled.

In her past life, the little devil always complained about the little angel, but she just couldn't stand seeing her being bullied. The bad ideas she came up with before were also because she saw Xue'er being bullied, and in a fit of anger, she directly controlled her mouth and told the servants about the evil plans.

At that time, Qian Renxue did not have a second martial soul. Without the little angel's consent, the little devil could not directly seize control of the body. At most, he could only control Qian Renxue's mouth and convey his words.

"They must have their own reasons, right?" Back outside, Shen Yuanyi turned to look at Qian Renxue's face.

"Shh..." Xue Di gestured for her to be quiet, and then went back to her room with Bing Di.

Qian Renxue was already asleep on the sofa, quiet and peaceful, completely different from how she was during the battle earlier that day. After talking with the little devil, the little angel was pulled away to stay in her little nest, presumably choosing to rest.

The curtains weren't drawn, and moonlight shone on Qian Renxue's forehead, casting two shadows on her face with her long eyelashes.

She slowly shifted her body, shrinking herself into the blanket Shen Yuanyi had covered her with, leaving only her delicate face exposed.

Shen Yuanyi's heart stirred. Those eyelashes were neatly arranged, each one clearly countable, as if they were counting time.
