Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 47 Extra: The Birth of the Little Devil

"...Hmm."

In the darkness as heavy as the deep sea, a new consciousness was born.

"Who am I? Where am I?"

Loneliness and fear enveloped her; she could see nothing but a bright light in the darkness.

"ah--!"

A scream rang out, but it wasn't her voice; it came from outside the darkness, from the direction of that beam of light.

Is anyone there?

Perhaps because she was newly born, her voice sounded a little tired.

"Who! Who's there?"

The voice came from the point of light; it was clear and bright, piercing through the darkness and reaching her ears. However, the previous calls had exhausted all her strength, so she was unable to respond.

But that clear, crisp sound made her feel warm, and she felt that she was no longer alone. So she fell asleep peacefully.

……

"I'm not your mother! From now on, every time you call me that, I'll hit you! Get out!"

It seemed to be a young woman's voice that woke her up.

"Ugh, so noisy!"

She was complaining quietly.

The white-haired girl realized she could see more and more things now. Along with that, she felt herself absorbing more and more negative emotions. That was the reason for her recent awakening.

She even wondered if these emotions were the best nourishment for her? It was these emotions that made her stronger and allowed her to see more.

She knew that people would call her "Xue'er" or "Young Master," but that wasn't the name they were using to refer to her, who was sleeping in the darkness; it was the name they were using to refer to another version of herself who was taking control of her body.

If that's the case, then who am I? And why am I here?

She could sense the young woman's impatience and disgust towards her in her voice, even though the conversation was taking place when another version of herself was giving this person a gift. Yet, strangely enough, she felt no dislike towards her whatsoever.

"Tsk, I don't understand."

Deep within the darkness of her consciousness, she impatiently turned over and continued to doze off.

……

"I really don't know what you guys were thinking, actually offering 30 million gold soul coins to buy this little girl!"

The two men in front of me were talking to each other. One of them was wearing a black combat suit and had a terrible scar over his eye, which must have been left in battle.

The other person was dressed in a sharp palace uniform, clearly a member of some powerful faction. He held a portrait in his hand, and the image in the portrait... was me with blond hair?

This was the first time she, who had been sleeping deep within her consciousness, had seen the outside world so clearly. She had seen images before, but mostly in fragmented ways; this was the first time she had experienced something so immersive.

"Is the girl they're talking about me?" she wondered to herself, but what came out of her mouth was a series of "Ugh... Ugh...!" sounds.

Tsk, I'm being... no, not me, but another version of myself named Xue'er, with my mouth gagged with a rag, facing my two kidnappers in terror, my hands tied behind my back.

What's going on?

Having previously only been able to see fragments of the outside world, she was still unaware of what was happening. But at least she was certain that this other self, whom everyone called the young master, was facing a life-threatening situation.

who am I?

who are you?

Why are we in the same body? Why can I feel the despair you are enduring so clearly?

Having just fully regained consciousness, she was filled with a long string of questions. She was certain that the golden retriever could hear her, but unfortunately, being tied up, it could only whimper helplessly and couldn't answer her questions.

Before Qian Renxue went to the Heaven Dou Empire, her grandfather repeatedly told her to absorb a soul bone before leaving. However, at that time, the golden-haired Xue'er was in her rebellious phase at the age of eight or nine. She thought that she was an angelic martial soul, and that the elders and elders of the Spirit Hall had to respectfully call her "Young Master" when they saw her. Ordinary people would have to kneel down when they saw her.

So she treated her grandfather's words as if he had just said something trivial and ran away. But she had only been out of the house for a short while when she was betrayed by the guards who were escorting her. The fear caused by this experience, coupled with the emergence of a dark shadow in her heart, caused layers of despair to pile up in Xue'er's heart.

Her trip was a secret, and the guards were unaware of the little girl's true identity, only knowing that they were to escort her to Heaven Dou City. Then, the day before the mission, someone came to their door, offering 30 million gold soul coins in exchange for the girl he was escorting.

Blonde Cher discovers that "another self" within her is feasting on these negative emotions like a delicious dish.

She felt her body gradually filling with power, but she couldn't use it.

"Hey, don't be afraid, it's not like we can't beat them," the little black snow in the depths of her heart said to the little angel.

"Ugh—!" The little angel's mouth was stuffed with a rag that had been found somewhere, and he stammered and struggled in fear.

"Huh? This kind of trash rope martial spirit, shouldn't it be easy to break free from?"

Suddenly, she looked at the terrified Xue'er, as if she understood something.

"I mean, you wouldn't happen to be... unable to control the full power of this body, would you?"

Just then, as Xiao Hei Xue was trying to control her body, a figure suddenly appeared from the side. Fine, sharp spider silk instantly pierced the chests of the two people engaged in the transaction, and drops of blood seeped from their wounds.

As the spider silk was pulled out by the figure, the blood, which had been flowing like a thin stream, immediately gushed out like a fountain, covering Qian Renxue's entire body.

"It's Mother," thought Kokoro Yuki.

This happened so fast, in the blink of an eye. The little angel and Little Black Snow didn't even have time to react, leaving them speechless.

"...!" The hint of anxiety in Bibi Dong's eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by her disdainful expression.

"Truly remarkable, Mother," Xiao Hei Xue thought to herself. "Although, if I were to do it, they might have paid a much heavier price. But Mother's choice to resolve things so cleanly and efficiently is quite good!"

Bibi Dong glanced at the bound Qian Renxue with disgust, then casually ripped the rag from her mouth: "Ignorant! Arrogant!"

Little Black Snow didn't seem to have any objection to this assessment. She asked the little angel who was currently in control of her body, "Alright, you can speak now. Quick, tell me, who am I?"

However, little Qian Renxue seemed oblivious to her own question, staring blankly at the two corpses whose chests had been pierced by Bibi Dong's spider silk. Having grown up pampered by Qian Daoliu, she wasn't unfamiliar with death, but she had never witnessed such brutal slaughter.

The bloody scene made her freeze, like a doll whose spring had been ripped out.

"Demon..." she murmured, her eyes vacant.

What?

You called me a demon? You mean... me?

Little Black Snow thought that the word "devil" was directed at her.

"No, no... Don't come any closer! You're a demon!" Little Qian Renxue looked at Bibi Dong's actions, painfully covering her head, and curled up into a golden dumpling in despair.

"...Tch." Little Black Snow fell silent again, but this time she didn't fall asleep; instead, she was so sad that she became somewhat withdrawn.

In front of the golden dumpling, Bibi Dong's eyes twitched. She gritted her teeth, suppressing her anger, and waved her hand, knocking Qian Renxue unconscious.

Suddenly, Bibi Dong's heart was filled with violence. Her anger was released, and she used spider silk to shred the two dead corpses to pieces.

"Ghost!" Her voice was like a low growl.

"Your Majesty, Ghost Douluo is here." Ghost Douluo appeared beside her.

"Investigate, find out who's behind this, and bring them to me." Bibi Dong's eyes were ferocious. "If the person behind this resists, break their hands and feet before they come to me. All I need is a mouth that can scream in agony."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ghost Douluo replied solemnly.

The moonlight shone on Bibi Dong's face, making her look as ferocious as a demon. It was unclear whether this was because Qian Renxue had almost been murdered, or because of what Qian Renxue had just said.

The story of Xiao Hei is about to begin. To make it easier for everyone to read without feeling abrupt, I'm releasing a bonus chapter about her birth first.
