Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 32 People with the surname Qian are all ruthless.

Huo Yuhao didn't listen to the boss's nonsense; in his opinion, it was just a way for the boss to attract customers.

He hesitated a bit because he had told himself when he left home that he should talk to strangers as little as possible when he was out and about, except when he needed to ask for directions.

But he was indeed very hungry. He had been barely managing to eat his coarse bread the whole way, and apart from traveling, he would meditate in deserted groves. To ensure his safety, he also had to use his mental energy to detect any dangers around him. It had been quite an achievement for him to get this far, and to say he wasn't tired would be a lie to himself.

He possesses a spirit-attribute martial soul, so his spiritual power is higher than that of ordinary people, and even higher than that of some ordinary soul masters. He is very good at judging whether a person is easy to talk to by observing the emotions they carry.

That's why he chose to ask these two girls who looked like sisters for directions. If they weren't there, his second choice would have been the owner of this small eatery.

"Sit down. It's not easy for someone traveling alone to get to this place." Qian Renxue's voice was clear and cold. "You need to relax your tense nerves. Just like the string of a kite, if the kite breaks, it can't come back. If your tense nerves break, you'll lose yourself."

Despite having witnessed the harsh realities of life, Huo Yuhao was still just a naive child who hadn't seen much of the world.

Hearing the blonde girl say that, he suddenly felt overwhelmed and even wanted to cry. He felt that this girl seemed to be able to see through his heart. It wasn't because he couldn't hide it well. Along the way, he had won the trust of many passersby with his innocent and sincere eyes, and they had helped each other a lot.

His disguise was exposed by this girl who looked about the same age as him.

But the other party didn't intend to harm me. But then again, I have nothing. What could the other party possibly get from me?

"Thank you, blonde sister," Huo Yuhao said softly. "I will remember your kindness in treating me to dinner this time."

Qian Renxue wasn't just acting out of kindness; she was simply curious why this seemingly young child had such heavy negative emotions. If she could get him to express some of them and absorb those negative emotions, maybe it would help the little devil wake up sooner.

"And there's the white-haired older sister." Xue Di pursed her lips.

"But you look younger than me," Huo Yuhao said softly.

"Huh?" Xue Di tilted her head, about to refute, but then decided against it.

According to Xue Di, she could actually choose a bone age that is no more than ten years old and more than six years old when she transforms into human form, because by the age of six, the martial spirit within a human body has already fully developed and can awaken. Then she saw that Qian Renxue's age was not too old, so she chose an age of ten, which is indeed about the same age as Qian Renxue after her resurrection... half a year younger.

After condensing her first spirit ring, she discovered that her innate spirit power was accurately level seventeen, and then she increased it by two levels through the 1,500-year spirit ring. It may not seem like much, but this is because her martial spirit is the ultimate ice, and the solidity of her spirit power is far beyond that of ordinary people. In addition, Qian Renxue told her not to rush to break through, but to temper her spirit power during the journey, as a foundation for her cultivation after becoming a human spirit master.

"She just looks young; she's actually about my age," Qian Renxue said. "Don't be fooled by appearances."

"Well... thank you both, you're so kind." Huo Yuhao nodded earnestly.

Qian Renxue placed a portion of rabbit meat into the bowl in front of him: "Eat up, you'll have the energy to do great things when you're full."

"Hmm." Huo Yuhao nodded seriously, then stared at the hard-won feast in front of him, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Xue Di shrugged. She couldn't understand why Qian Renxue would suddenly be so merciful as to want to save this unfamiliar little boy. They were originally preparing some food for their journey ahead, but perhaps Qian Renxue had her reasons for doing so.

"You should eat more too, we'll probably have to travel for a few more days." Qian Renxue felt like an older sister, with Xue Di as her younger sister. She couldn't even take care of herself, yet she had to take care of a child who seemed capable but was actually just as inept at daily life as she was. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh. When did she become this kind of person?

"Okay." Xue Di also picked at the rabbit meat in front of her. She asked curiously, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​buying this?" "Isn't the name of this little shop Xingluo Rabbit Meat? The name is like a person's or something else's name." Qian Renxue said, "If they dare to call it that, they must have a lot of experience in cooking rabbit meat."

Xue Di shrugged, remaining noncommittal. Then she asked Huo Yuhao, "Speaking of names, what's your name?"

Huo Yuhao swallowed a piece of crispy, tender rabbit meat and quickly said, "Sister, my name is Huo Yuhao. I don't know your names yet?"

Xue Di glanced at Qian Renxue, and seeing that she didn't react much, said, "My name is Xue."

Xue Di thought to herself, "Let's see what you say now. I've been thinking about the name Xue for a long time!"

Huo Yuhao was taken aback. Clearly, this name didn't sound like a proper name. Although single-character names existed in the Douluo Continent, they were rare. However, he didn't pay much attention. Rare didn't mean nonexistent. For example, some maids in the Duke's mansion had only single-character names because they didn't know their surnames. Another example was ten thousand years ago, when there were three people in the Spirit Hall called the Golden Generation, one of whom was a Soul Master named Yan.

Huo Yuhao didn't know who this person was. His mother had told him stories, but she only knew about the Shrek Seven Devils.

Qian Renxue glanced at Xue Di and casually said, "My name is Qian Mufei."

She was going to just say any name; she had originally planned to say Qian Muyu, but when she heard that the little boy's name also contained the character for "rain," she instantly felt that the character "rain" wasn't special anymore. Then she thought of the character "Fei," which means fluttering or drifting, so she came up with the image of being bathed in flying snow. She figured the little boy and the Snow Emperor wouldn't understand her name for the time being.

However, she felt that naming Xue Di could be put on the agenda.

"Surname Qian?" This thought crossed the minds of both Xue Di and Huo Yuhao at the same time.

People with the surname Qian are all ruthless, such as Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, Qian Jie, and Qian Renlüzhe.

However, Huo Yuhao didn't recognize any of these people. The Qian family and the Angel Clan had vanished from history; no one cared what their names once were. They were merely dust in the ruts crushed by the wheels of history. Only some fragments passed down from ancient times mentioned this once glorious family.

"Where are you two going, sisters?" Huo Yuhao asked after a moment's hesitation.

"I haven't decided yet," Qian Renxue said. "We're out here for training and are just passing through. Where are you going?"

"Star Dou Great Forest." Huo Yuhao didn't know why, but he just blurted it out. Maybe it was because he thought his two older sisters were good people. How bad could someone be who would give such delicious food to someone he had just met?

Xue Di glanced at Huo Yuhao in surprise: "Do you know how dangerous that place is? With your skinny arms and legs, going straight there like that would be suicide."

As the third-ranked ferocious beast, she naturally knew that seven of the ten ferocious beasts existed in the Star Dou Great Forest. However, this was only what was known on the surface. In fact, there were also some soul beasts in the far north that were nearly 200,000 years old or even older. However, humans knew very little about the far north, so they only knew about the Three Kings of the Far North.

"I want to become stronger," Huo Yuhao said in a low voice. "My talent for cultivation is not good. Right now, I'm just an ordinary level 10 Soul Warrior. As long as I can obtain my first Soul Ring, I can become a Soul Master."

"Why did you want to become a Soul Master?" Qian Renxue suddenly asked.

Qian Renxue didn't know that Huo Yuhao would go to Shrek Academy and Tang Sect in the future, so it didn't matter that she had the surname Qian. There are many people in the world with the surname Qian, at least a thousand (not really), and no one in this era knew her.
