Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 72 Don't get scammed!

"Look ahead, you two," Qian Renxue coughed lightly, "Once this technology matures, it will be a good thing for both humans and soul beasts, won't it?"

Snow Empress nodded slowly. Compared to Ice Empress, she was better able to control her emotions.

During the conversation just now, Qian Renxue suddenly thought of something.

"Hyotei, I know you still harbor resentment. But please consider this question."

Hyotei snorted in annoyance. Clearly, she knew the stakes involved, but she was still unwilling to back down.

"Have you ever considered that this abnormal relationship between human soul masters and soul beasts is also the work of the gods in the heavens? The beast race should have been able to become gods a long, long time ago, but in a war in the divine realm, the Dragon God was split in two by the Asura God, and a divine decree was issued that the beast race could not become gods." Qian Renxue recalled the information about the divine realm that she had learned in her previous life during the Angel God Trial.

"We've heard a little about this," Xue Di nodded.

"The God Realm can control the lower realms. Don't you think that this abnormal relationship in our Douluo Continent is the work of the God Realm?" Qian Renxue said.

Everyone looked at her.

"It's like an emperor in the human world whose ministers are divided into two factions. They bow and scrape to the emperor in court all day long to show their loyalty, but secretly they trip up the other side and wish they could kill the other side."

"Because if the ministers don't fight among themselves, they will unite to fight against the emperor," Qian Renxue said. "In that case, it won't just be the harem that will be on fire, but the front yard will also be engulfed in flames."

This is the experience Qian Renxue summarized while infiltrating the palace.

"Similarly, if the gods allow humans and soul beasts to fight each other, then the beings of this plane will focus their attention on this fruitless and endless struggle, becoming narrow-minded. Only those chosen by the gods will have the opportunity to glimpse the secrets beyond the world."

"When the chosen ones enter the divine realm and learn the whole truth, they will join the original gods and, in order to consolidate their rule over the lower planes, will not change these rules."

Qian Renxue's words struck everyone's minds like a thunderbolt. They had never thought about this question before, only that the struggle between humans and soul beasts was abnormal, and therefore they wanted to restrain killing as much as possible for survival, without ever considering why.

Although Qian Renxue's statement is a bit far-fetched, it makes a lot of sense, and there are no dull moments throughout the entire story.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. My opponent in the God Realm is the God of Asura." A sly glint flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. "It seems that your soul beast ancestors were also cleaved in two by the God of Asura."

Xue Di and Ye Xishui gave Qian Renxue a deep look. They had both thought that this little Xue was not simple, but they had not expected her to have such foresight and vision.

When most Soul Masters are teenagers or even in their fifties, all they think about is how to defeat their opponents and win rewards in some boring competitions.

Qian Renxue's view of the world seems to be different from everyone else's.

"Ahem—" Hyotei coughed. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Please speak." Since Hyotei chose this way of asking questions, it means she has accepted my statement, and I should also show my sincerity.

"Your... second spirit? What is it? Can you tell me?" Hyotei asked hesitantly.

"Eternal—Spider King." The little devil's voice came from his mouth, "Do you understand?"

Hyotei's eyes narrowed slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

"Understood."

The reason she asked this question was because when Qian Renxue transformed, her Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion form felt a pressure from her soul, a pressure that was even greater than when she faced the Angel Martial Soul!

"Do you understand a little bit about the questions I asked you back then?" Ye Xishui suddenly said.

Hearing this, Qian Renxue stroked her chin: "I can roughly guess why, but I still have a question."

"What's your doubt?"

"Why did you ask me this as your first question? Did you have someone you liked? I thought you were going to say, 'If you have someone you like, bring them into the Holy Spirit Cult! Otherwise, we'll kill them!'"

"This... I was just curious." Ye Xishui said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, after seeing Qian Renxue roll her eyes.

"Heh, you must be afraid I'll be deceived by some scoundrel and then seduced into betraying the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"...?" A question mark appeared on Ye Xishui's face.

Then Long Xiaoyao subtly shuddered. He felt that Ye Xishui was right to ask this question in advance! He had seen what a woman could do when she went crazy.

"Do you have someone you like?" Shen Yuanyi asked.

"Yes." Qian Renxue glanced at her, thinking to herself that she had better be able to control herself.

"I like myself," the little angel patted his chest. "I love my extreme madness!"

Hearing this, the little devil patted his chest. "That's good, that's good." Shen Yuanyi breathed a sigh of relief, "I was worried you'd be tricked."

Hyotei sighed, "Seeing you all so happy together, I never would have imagined that the higher-ups of the world's evil soul master organizations would act like this."

Xue Di patted her head: "Bing'er, stay. It's actually been quite a long time since we last saw each other."

Hyotei pouted: "Sister Xue'er, I was just worried you'd get tricked, that's why I acted like that."

"This is true love!" Shen Yuanyi looked at the two of them. "Don't worry, don't worry, Sister Xuedi is so outstanding, how could she be seduced and run away by some scoundrel!"

"Ahem—it's getting late. Now that we've all talked it out, let's get some rest."

Long Xiaoyao coughed twice, worried that if the topic continued, Ye Xishui would feel that he was being subtly criticized.

Ye Xishui rolled her eyes at him: "Alright, then welcome to the Holy Spirit Cult. As for positions... Ice Emperor can be an honorific. As for Snow Emperor... I don't think Saintess is quite suitable."

Qian Renxue casually said, "Let's just have him as a nominal retainer. Anyway, he'll definitely be at least a Limit Douluo in the future."

"Alright." Ye Xishui nodded. "Then, Yuanyi, you'll be working with these ladies from now on. I won't be staying in Mingdu for long. These ladies are probably all young ladies from wealthy families, so please take care of them."

"No problem, Your Majesty," Shen Yuanyi said with a smile.

Xue Di nodded with deep feeling: "I think it's great, this little snow..."

Qian Renxue shot her a murderous glare.

"...He's usually very easygoing, and he gets along well with Miss Shen when she comes," Xue Di said seriously.

"That's good. You can stay here for now. As for the rooms..." Ye Xishui pondered for a moment, "Ice and Snow Emperors, why don't you two stay together for now? Yuan Yi and Xiao Xue can stay together. The room is big enough; I'll have someone add an extra bed for each of you."

Long Xiaoyao leaned closer: "What about me?"

Ye Xishui shoved him away: "Go away, go away, how old are you?"

Qian Renxue glanced at the two elders, then recalled their positions... and then looked at Shen Yuanyi.

Shen Yuanyi winked at her, signaling her to keep quiet.

"Xiaoxue, would you like to become my disciple?" Ye Xishui suddenly asked.

Qian Renxue was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

She had already discussed it with the little devil, and the two of them had settled on this matter. Moreover, the little devil seemed quite interested in Ye Xishui as well.

"What do I need to do to become an apprentice?" she asked after a moment's hesitation.

She had never actually taken a master. In her previous life, all her skills were taught to her by Qian Daoliu and the other retainers. How could the retainers dare to ask to be her teachers? That would be asking for a beating.

Ye Xishui smiled casually: "No need for so much trouble, just pour me a cup of tea."

Qian Renxue suddenly realized, is this the apprenticeship ceremony of this era?

She recalled Shen Yuanyi's tea-pouring technique and clumsily filled Ye Xishui's cup with tea. She suddenly remembered that her mother, Bibi Dong, also seemed to enjoy drinking tea, and her favorite was a fragrant tea produced as a specialty of Wuhun City.

Ye Xishui smiled as she accepted the tea, swirled the teacup around, and then drank it.

"Xi Shui, you've achieved this late in life..." Long Xiaoyao said with a smile.

Shen Yuanyi's expression changed, and then she pulled Qian Renxue and ran back to the room.

"It's getting late, we should head back to rest. Wishing you and Professor Long a memorable evening! Goodnight!"

Please continue reading!

The apprenticeship ceremony in this era would certainly not be this simple, but Ye Xishui is not a fool.

It could even be said that if she were a fool, she wouldn't have been able to outmaneuver Mu En and Long Xiaoyao so easily when she was young.

Therefore, she must have been able to discern some clues from Qian Renxue. Although she couldn't confirm it, she could guess some of the "truth." How could she dare to allow a descendant of a deity to kneel and worship before her?

At her level, she would definitely have some connection to the divine realm and be aware of that ethereal existence. Moreover, Qian Renxue is truly exceptional; her origins are unknown, her talent is outstanding, and she is the person prophesied by the Grand Elder.

This is one explanation for why Ye Xishui seems to have almost infinite patience with Qian Renxue.
