Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 24 Royal Fury

"Where could I possibly want to go..." Xue Di thought for a moment, "Actually, according to my original plan, after I transform into a human, I would temporarily stay in the far north to cultivate, instead of randomly entering the human world."

Qian Renxue nodded. This was the kind of consideration a transformed soul beast should have. If you don't have the ability, don't run around recklessly. According to Xue Di, if it weren't for bad luck that someone who accidentally wandered into the far north picked up her embryo, then probably in a few decades, a genius female soul master with the ultimate ice martial soul would appear on the continent.

"However, since I've already accidentally wandered into the human world and been rescued by you, then... how about I stay by your side for now? Let's see what you think?" Xue Di said after thinking for a moment.

"Following me... that's not impossible." Qian Renxue pondered for a moment. Anyway, her cultivation level was just that of a nobody Great Soul Master, not worth mentioning. It would be a bit difficult to encounter a Title Douluo-level Soul Master at this time.

"Speaking of which, how good are your hiding abilities? If we really encounter a Title Douluo-level Soul Master, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you." Qian Renxue finally decided to tell the truth.

"Do you remember what I just said, about using a snow lotus to suppress my true nature? That snow lotus modified my body, allowing me to suppress my soul beast aura to some extent." The Snow Empress thought for a moment and said, "That 100,000-year-old snow lotus is actually equivalent to what you humans call a 'celestial treasure.' However, I haven't tested its specific effects, which is why I said at the beginning that I wouldn't enter the human world casually, because I wasn't sure if there would be any danger."

Sometimes he's clueless, but when it comes to important matters, he can be quite sharp.

Qian Renxue suddenly realized. She remembered that the dead rabbit was able to hide its aura from a Title Douluo because it had obtained a Celestial Lotus, and that was only because it was carrying the Celestial Lotus with it. Now that the Snow Empress said that her body had merged with that Snow Lotus, it should have some effect as well.

Even if this snow lotus isn't as high-level as the one that little rabbit possesses—what was it called again? Acacia Heartbreak Red?—the Snow Emperor and the snow lotus are better in terms of attribute compatibility, so it might be more useful.

Xue Di's initial concerns were not unreasonable, but now that they were in the human world, it would probably take a long time to run back to the far north. So why not stay with this angel soul master for now? They had both sworn an oath to the heavens, so what else could they do? They chose to believe her.

"There's nowhere I really want to go," Qian Renxue shook her head. "But I feel like the fact that I rescued you is about to be exposed. The person who bought you will undoubtedly be a big shot in the Star Luo Empire, maybe even the emperor. I think we need to run fast."

"Run? Where to run?"

"The three great empires in the east of the continent seem to be in conflict with each other, but thanks to the mediation of some bastards, there is actually a strange balance between them. If we really want to run away, we might as well go and see the Sun and Moon Empire in the west of the continent," Qian Renxue said.

"The Sun and Moon Empire?" Xue Di narrowed her eyes. "It's not impossible. You may not know, but I was captured by a level nine Soul Master from that empire."

Qian Renxue was stunned. Good heavens, now she really had enemies everywhere.

"Then let's do as you say and go check out the Sun Moon Empire." The Snow Empress seemed to have made up her mind. "And while we're at it, let's see if we can find the Soul Master who kidnapped me. I want revenge!"

Most soul beasts are a bit brainless when they first transform into human form. Qian Renxue was certain of this idea again. When you were a 700,000-year-old soul beast, you could indeed open the plate with both palms, but now you are just a human brat. Don't slap yourself and end up with a herniated disc.

Finally, Qian Renxue tried her best to persuade him, saying that he should be more realistic now and that if he really wanted revenge, he should go to his hometown and call out all his descendants.

The Snow Emperor glared at her and said no! This is my business. How can I let my people die because of my hatred?

This really struck a chord with Qian Renxue. She thought to herself that this was the kind of thinking a normal person or a normal soul beast should have: not to drag the forces behind you down with your personal feelings and thoughts.

"While I admire your determination for revenge and your desire to keep the far north out of the picture... you should also consider your current cultivation level," Qian Renxue said helplessly. "With your current level ten soul power, going to fight a Title Douluo is just like handing over your soul bone to someone else. You've already lived for seven hundred thousand years, why worry about these next few decades?" "...Indeed." Xue Di paused for a moment. "Then let's go to the Sun Moon Empire first. I remember the route I took when I was sent here. I can take you there. They say that route is very convenient and will allow us to leave in the shortest amount of time."

"No need." Qian Renxue shook her head. "I feel that we can't go back the way you came. If I'm not mistaken, those two people brought you here along some main roads. If we go directly along the main roads, we'll inevitably encounter other humans. Just like you said, most humans are cunning and wicked."

She took out a map, looked at the surrounding scenery, and determined her location.

"To avoid cunning villains, we'd better enter the forest first," Qian Renxue said. "Once we're away from the vicinity of Xingluo City and further away, we can leave from a safer place."

"So you're a cunning villain?" Xue Di asked jokingly.

"Guess?" Qian Renxue smiled slyly, then put away the map and left the place with Xue Di.

The next morning, a sensational event occurred in Xingluo City.

In the capital of the Star Luo Empire, two guests were found dead in their room at an inn! According to the investigation, the two likely got into an argument, and during the ensuing struggle, one had his neck broken and the other had his throat slit by a knife.

"Bang—!"

In a palace within the Star Luo Empire's imperial palace, a person wearing a crown slammed their hand on a gold-rimmed table beside them, causing a teacup to wobble and roll off the table, shattering into pieces.

"Your Majesty! Please calm down!" The minister who came to report the news knelt on the ground trembling, fearing that he would soon end up like this cup.

Emperor Xingluo, Xu Jiawei.

After the Xu family took over the throne from Dai Mubai's descendants, they sent the entire family out of Xingluo City and allowed them to establish a ducal mansion not far from the capital.

At that time, the Star Luo Empire was facing a huge crisis. In order to save the empire, the Dai family offered the imperial throne in exchange for the Xu family of the Star Crown Sect to come out of seclusion.

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor was furious. He had spent a huge amount of money to contact the ninth-level Soul Master of Mingde Hall in the Sun Moon Empire, and he had also spent a huge amount of money to purchase the embryo of the 100,000-year-old Soul Beast, along with a ninth-level Soul Tool. You should know that there is not a single ninth-level Soul Tool in the three eastern kingdoms of the continent!

To be on the safe side, they used the simplest deception: having a freight company transport the package. Thousands upon thousands of packages were dispatched daily from this company's Sun Moon Empire branch, making it the least likely to be detected by blending in with the rest. As for the background of this freight company, it naturally had ties to the Star Luo Empire.

According to the schedule, this package should have been delivered to a pawnshop in Xingluo City that operates on a five-day work week and a two-day weekend this morning! Today happens to be the day it reopens, and the pawnshop manager would have handed it over. The owner of that pawnshop is the Xingluo royal family. Everything was planned perfectly, but a problem arose at the very last step.

When the two deliverymen arrived in Xingluo City, the pawnshop was closed for the day. The owner had disappeared somewhere to enjoy himself. The two deliverymen had no choice but to find a place to stay and then deliver the goods the next morning.

But unexpectedly, at that very moment, the two deliverymen were killed!

Originally, the Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent did not have level-nine soul tools, as explained in the text, because there was not a single level-nine soul master in the Three Kingdoms. It can only be said that the blood of those titled Douluos shed four thousand years ago was shed in vain; they learned nothing from their mistakes. It can also be seen as their lack of ambition under the influence of Shrek Academy, since Shrek was the new generation's faith, and that faith was simply hindering their development.
