Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 886 The young lady felt cool.

Could it be that my previous perception was also correct?

Shen Yuanyi thought to herself.

When Xu Jiujiu arrived in Wuhun City, Shen Yuanyi had just finished dealing with some matters and was returning to Wuhun City. He noticed her as he flew by in the sky.

At that time, the angel statue inside the Spirit Hall trembled and emitted bursts of psychic energy. Most people would involuntarily lower their heads slightly when they encountered that psychic energy, but after a long time, it seemed normal.

Shen Yuanyi initially thought that Xu Jiujiu and Qian Renxue had signed a contract called "Spirit Transmission Scroll," which was why she wasn't affected much. However, she later noticed something was off during a meeting.

"Yes, I know." Qian Renxue's illusory hands gathered spatial power to catch Shen Yuanyi, preventing her from "passing through" her illusory image directly.

"You came back last time, didn't you?" Shen Yuanyi thought for a moment, then said, "I had a slight feeling, I guessed it... but I wasn't sure."

"How did you guess?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Hmm, it seems like Xu Jiujiu has a similar condition on her head."

Qian Renxue thought for a moment and then said, "But back then I only transformed into the pattern on Xu Jiujiu's hairpin, which is different from the Silver Dragon King's current hair ornament."

"In short, I felt it." Shen Yuanyi looked up at the illusory Qian Renxue. The other party was like a projection, and it was very obvious that her "true body" was not here.

I couldn't even feel the warmth from her body.

"Then, I suddenly remembered that I had discussed the Spirit Transfer Scroll with Mr. Electrolux. Xu Jiujiu once signed this contract with you, transforming into a special undead creature..." Shen Yuanyi said in a low voice, "But Mr. Electrolux said that although this contract is not the highest level, it is still bound to both parties. Xu Jiujiu is alright, which makes me even more certain that you are still alive..."

Shen Yuanyi rambled on and on, then mentioned that she and the Ice and Snow Emperors had awakened the little fire dragon, and so on.

Qian Renxue listened quietly to her without interrupting.

The battlefield was filled with shouts of battle, but this place was unusually peaceful. Ye Xishui and the others also arrived here, smiling as they looked at Qian Renxue.

Perhaps everyone else on Douluo Star would think Qian Renxue is dead, even the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings would think so. But those who truly know her past, her relatives and friends, would look forward to her return.

"Why would you want to know about the Spirit Transmission Scroll?" Qian Renxue asked, her voice calm and not like she was asking a question.

"This..." Shen Yuanyi hesitated for a moment.

"She's curious about the wonders of necromancy," Ye Xishui explained at the right moment. "After all, the World of the Dead merged with Douluo Star, and the Spirit Temple was established there as well. She had already inherited the position of Acting Pope from me at that time, so it's normal for her to want to know more about what's going on there."

The real reason was that Shen Yuanyi wanted to live for many years, a thousand, several thousand, or even ten thousand years, waiting for Qian Renxue to return. For this, she not only asked Lin Mengtong about methods such as transferring soul beast bloodlines, but even planned to use soul beast bloodlines to live for several thousand years, and then use the spirit transfer scroll to extend her lifespan further.

However, Electrolux also temporarily rejected her.

Sometimes Shen Yuanyi is such a strange creature. She can be a loyal follower, yet she can also firmly grasp power in her own hands over the past hundred years.

She had a tough life over the past hundred years and spoke less and less. She also understood why Qian Renxue sometimes locked herself in the meditation room to cultivate alone. It was because she had something on her mind.

But you can't tell others, because apart from those close to them, everyone else thinks Qian Renxue has already fallen. If you talk to others about this, they might respect your strength and status and agree with you, but more likely they'll think to themselves that the Pope's chef has gone crazy.

Loneliness and solitude can truly kill; they can silently tear a person apart.

There are many lonely people in this world, and Qian Renxue and Shen Yuanyi are just one of them. But lonely people often don't gather together. They hide in their own corners, then look at each other from afar, and perhaps a thought of "Why don't we chat?" will cross their minds, but they will immediately dismiss it, turn their heads away, clear their surroundings with their eyes, and continue to hide.

"I'm not using this necromancy on you because nothing in this world can withstand the test of time," Electrolux told Shen Yuanyi. "I also feel that Xiaoxue isn't completely dead, but the time you have to wait for her will be very, very long."

"The Ice Emperor can wait hundreds of thousands of years until the Snow Emperor develops feelings for her. My ten thousand years is nothing," Shen Yuanyi said.

"Time is a pale shroud, concealing the gradually withering soul," Electrox said calmly. "Whether it's me, Elder Lin Mengtong, or the Ice and Snow Empresses, the same is true. The Elder is accustomed to studying life; the Ice and Snow Empresses are already familiar with each other's existence in each other's lives, which is also a kind of habit... Think about it carefully. At least for now, I will not grant your request."

"No, I'm a very self-centered person too," Shen Yuanyi said, looking at Electrolux. "I can stop at nothing to achieve my goals. And I'm different from Miss. I don't have many lofty ideals. I just want to wait for her to come back."

"For this, I can betray many things. Betray the rules of life, betray my identity as a human being, even betray my own future." Shen Yuanyi's expression was calm, as if she were narrating a topic unrelated to herself. "Life will eventually sink into the abyss of time, thus deteriorating and decaying. I am one hundred and twenty-seven years old this year, and I look very old. My obsession with her is even a bit like a child's attachment to a beloved toy—satisfied when I get it, and tormented when I don't. Absurd and laughable, isn't it?"

"You..." Electrox's eyes twitched slightly, as if recalling something from the past.

"But that's just how I am. My life was originally meant to be spent hiding in the shadows, diligently cultivating for the continuation of the Holy Spirit Cult, serving as the last pawn. It's nothing, and I'm willing to do it, because it was Your Majesty who pulled me back from the battlefield," Shen Yuanyi said slowly. "But her appearance gave me a turning point, allowing me to see the light of day again, and even sit at the very top of the continent now. So, I will never forget the day she appeared. Because she is the beginning of my life."

At that time, Shen Yuanyi was quiet, and her tone was unreadable.

But now, the smile on her face is like that of a child who has never seen the outside world, seeing the first rays of sunlight.

Because, now, she has no other wish than to become Qian Renxue.

"You're a little chilly," she said. "Is the wind in space too strong?"

Qian Renxue's illusory figure opened its mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
