Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 84 You? The Number One Movie Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire?

Qian Renxue was a little surprised, because this disabled person didn't look like much, and was probably not even thirty years old. But his soul power level was a genuine Soul Douluo, and had even reached level eighty-eight.

She could also sense that this person's cultivation level was extremely unstable, probably due to rapid advancement through taking drugs. However, it was likely that the drugs he took were of high quality, thus hindering his progress and only partially achieving his goal.

"Then please continue your conversation. I won't disturb you any longer," Long Xiaoyao said with a casual smile.

He wasn't worried that Qian Renxue would be fooled by that brat Xu Tianran. He had witnessed Qian Renxue's methods of winning people over at the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters; they were simple, clear, and effective. She seemed like a brilliant performer; Xu Tianran should be grateful if he wasn't fooled by her.

Xu Tianran was also secretly pleased. Long Xiaoyao's departure was a good thing for him, as he could now freely persuade this seemingly naive young girl.

He was able to secure his position as crown prince not only through violent means, but also with the support of court ministers and powerful figures. He was extremely confident in his acting skills.

The number one movie star in the Sun Moon Empire is none other than Xu Tianran!

Qian Renxue entered the room, sat down at a table, and casually glanced at Xu Tianran: "Your Highness, has come to see me for something?"

Xu Tianran was stunned. Something was wrong. According to his script, shouldn't this little girl be the one pushing his wheelchair and letting him sit down first?

Qian Renxue looked at Xu Tianran in surprise: "Your Highness, your legs are broken, but your hands should still be intact, right?"

She saw through Xu Tianran's little scheme at a glance. If she knew that Xu Tianran was the number one actor in the Sun Moon Empire, she would probably laugh her head off.

Did she, the former No. 1 actress of Douluo Continent from ten thousand years ago, speak?

If Tang San hadn't revealed his disguise in the end, he probably would have thought that Xue Qinghe had joined the Spirit Hall, rather than that the Spirit Hall had sent someone to replace Xue Qinghe.

"Ah, Your Highness is right. I'm sorry you had to see this." Xu Tianran quickly composed himself and pushed his wheelchair to the dining table.

"Your Highness, instead of assisting His Majesty with his myriad affairs of state, what brings you here to me?" Qian Renxue asked again.

"Is that even a question? You've shown off your skills at the Mingdu Soul Guidance Trial Grounds, and now the entire palace is practically going crazy." Xu Tianran rubbed his forehead. "I'm worried that my shameless brothers will disturb Her Highness's elegant pleasure of feeding pigeons. That would be truly a sad thing."

"Ah, how could a mere woman like me affect your court intrigues? Your Highness is exaggerating." Qian Renxue feigned surprise, as she had absolutely no interest in such court politics.

I really like a quote from my father, Qian Xunji: "In this world, there is no need for empires, nor for imperial power."

Although she didn't hear those words herself, it was Qian Daoliu who told her.

"You are too modest. The miracles you have performed are now the talk of the town throughout Mingdu. Everyone believes you will be the best gift Heaven has bestowed upon the Sun Moon Empire," Xu Tianran coaxed patiently. "Although I am not talented, I am still considered a Crown Prince, the future heir to the empire. Therefore, I hope Your Highness can lend me and the Sun Moon Empire a helping hand!"

"It's not just me, but the people as well, who are also yearning for your arrival!" Xu Tianran continued, "I must also strive to bring the sun's glory to them!"

Qian Renxue sneered inwardly. What is your Sun Moon Empire? Am I a gift bestowed upon the Sun Moon Empire by Heaven?

Xu Tianran is quite shrewd; he'll praise you first, then subtly lower your status.

This kind of trick is only good for fooling little kids playing in the mud; to her, such words are just provocation.

"From what you're saying, you want me to step in and support your Crown Prince, right?" Qian Renxue feigned surprise as she looked at him. "But why would I do that?"

"I suppose you're not very familiar with court intrigue," Xu Tianran said bitterly. "In the struggle for imperial power, I was ambushed by my own brothers and even lost both my legs! As you can see, I can only talk to you now from a wheelchair!"

"My God!" Qian Renxue exclaimed, "A bunch of barbarians!"

Xu Tianran's face twitched. He was now beginning to wonder whether the little girl in front of him was cunning or simply unable to speak properly.

"In fact, this is the norm in the struggle for imperial power. You have to fight to the death to get to the top. Even now that I am the Crown Prince, I still have to be careful," Xu Tianran said with a wry smile.

"Our teacher said that barbarians must be dealt with through violence!" Qian Renxue exclaimed indignantly. "They took your legs, so you should find them and punish them!"

Since everyone loves a good spectacle, Qian Renxue didn't mind adding fuel to the fire. "That's right!" Xu Tianran also feigned anger. "Later, I found out who was trying to harm my brother, and I had everyone in his palace executed by slow slicing! Did Your Majesty tell you about this?"

He couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. No matter what, this little girl would probably be frightened by his ruthless methods.

"You executed that brother by slow slicing?" Qian Renxue was stunned.

"That's right, those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish." Xu Tianran nodded sincerely, his words seemingly threatening Qian Renxue.

"You shouldn't have done this!" Qian Renxue cried out in anguish. "You should have killed all your brothers! They were all your enemies; how could you let the others go!"

"Even the most insignificant prince might turn against you in the future!" Qian Renxue's last words were sincere to the point of bitterness.

"Huh?" Now it was Xu Tianran's turn to be stunned. "This, how can this be! Suppressing all the brothers with violence will cause a riot in the palace!"

"Why resort to violent suppression? Are you a barbarian too?" Qian Renxue gave him a strange look. "With soul guidance technology so advanced these days, besides cannons, there are also pistols. Besides soul guidance devices, there's also poison. If all else fails, we can use psychotropic drugs to turn him into an idiot."

Xu Tianran felt a chill creep through his heart, as if a cold snake had crawled over his soul.

He seemed to have truly underestimated this girl; she was a devil!

He suddenly realized something: his seemingly perfect performance was actually full of flaws in front of this girl. Then the girl watched his performance with a cold smile, probably thinking he was an idiot.

This little girl is a saint of the Holy Spirit Cult! When it comes to cruelty, who can claim to surpass the Holy Spirit Cult? Those last words were clearly her way of threatening me! If I didn't obey, they could use psychotropic drugs to turn me into an idiot and control me!

"Thank you for your advice, Your Highness. I will consider your suggestion, but..." Xu Tianran seemed to be starting to panic, but on the surface he remained neither humble nor arrogant.

If he weren't currently on Holy Spirit Cult territory, he would have taken this girl without hesitation!

Qian Renxue chuckled softly, then casually lifted her leg, kicked off her shoes with her fair feet, and casually placed them on the table, her toenails painted a deep black.

"Your Highness, I understand your thoughts. However, you have overlooked one fact: without the Holy Spirit Sect, your position as Crown Prince would be even more unstable. And even without you, our Holy Spirit Sect can still find another prince."

After a brief conversation, she discovered the other party's weakness: Xu Tianran had not understood his own position.

"So you need to think carefully about whether you are begging us or we are begging you."

A flame rose within Xu Tianran. He looked at the small feet that swung casually in front of his face with a hint of rage, as if they were stepping directly on his face, humiliating him!

"No, besides you, I also have the ancestral hall!" Xu Tianran argued.

"The Hall of Offerings? Your Highness, I have a question for you." Qian Renxue leaned back comfortably in her chair. "Who is the chief offering master of the Hall of Offerings in the Sun and Moon Palace? Has anyone from this Hall disappeared due to the change of the royal family?"

Xu Tianran's pupils contracted.

"Your performance was brilliant, but you should save it for those idiots who only know how to play with soul-guided cannons and pistols. Our cooperation has never been equal, yet you remain so confident," Qian Renxue said calmly.

"If my understanding of you is correct, the Sun Moon Empire does indeed worship the sun," Qian Renxue said softly. "In other words, the person they should worship is the former emperor, not you. You are afraid, or perhaps, you are even more afraid."

"…!" Xu Tianran was shocked. Saying such words was tantamount to provoking the entire Sun Moon Royal Family!

"Don't stare at me like that. You know perfectly well whether what I'm saying is true or not. We can talk about cooperation, but you need to know your place."

Qian Renxue's voice changed; it was no longer as cute and adorable as before. Instead, her voice was like a divine pronouncement, striking Xu Tianran's heart again and again.
