Douluo Continent: Starting with Luo Sanpao, Evolving into the Dragon God!

Chapter 99: The End of Xue Qinghe; A New Xue Qinghe is Born!

Xue Qinghe, I'm sorry?

Qian Renxue's words stunned Xue Qinghe, and he suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy.

Because Qian Renxue had never called him by that name before.

And who would suddenly apologize for no reason?

In addition, Gu Han and Qian Renxue both stopped moving at the same time.

This is clearly not right.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

"Xue'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you apologizing for nothing?"

Xue Qinghe forced a smile and instinctively took a few steps back.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I've been lying to you for a long time. Actually, we are from the Spirit Hall."

Having come this far, Gu Han saw no need to hide it any longer and simply sighed.

What?!

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe's expression changed drastically. He could hardly believe that Qian Renxue and Gu Han were actually from the Spirit Hall.

Gu Han is one thing, but that's another.

But why is Xue'er the same?!

"Xue'er, you...you're also from the Spirit Hall?"

Upon learning that Qian Renxue was also a member of the Spirit Hall, Xue Qinghe's gentle and handsome face was filled with disbelief, and he asked in a somewhat hoarse voice.

For a moment, he felt only heartache and sorrow.

Initially, he encountered Qian Renxue, who was being chased by bandits, while he was out.

He sent men to kill the bandits and rescue Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue said that her village had been wiped out by bandits.

Now that he had saved her, killed the bandits, and avenged his parents' deaths...

So she was willing to do anything to repay his kindness!

Only after Qian Renxue's repeated requests did he accept the maid.

Initially, he did not develop any feelings for Qian Renxue.

Although Qian Renxue was very beautiful, Xue Qinghe, as a prince, had seen too many beautiful women around him and was already used to it.

However, as they spent more time together, he discovered that Qian Renxue was very intelligent.

He can learn anything immediately, and in some things, she seems to understand him better than he understands himself.

This led him to believe that this might be a connection between minds.

Therefore, Xue Qinghe unknowingly developed feelings for Qian Renxue.

But he discovered that Qian Renxue didn't seem to have any romantic feelings for him, only intending to repay his kindness.

As a gentleman, Xue Qinghe did not choose to force Qian Renxue, but instead hid his feelings for her in his heart and never revealed them.

But to his surprise, Xue'er, whom he thought was his soulmate and a match made in heaven, turned out to be an undercover agent sent by the Spirit Hall!

This made Xue Qinghe feel heartbroken and bitter. He gave a self-deprecating smile and said...

"Brother Gu Han, the riot of soul beasts just now, that was probably your doing, wasn't it? You went to such lengths to leave me alone with you, you wanted to kill me, didn't you?"

"I suppose so. At least from now on, you are no longer Xue Qinghe, the eldest prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."

Gu Han thought for a moment and then said this.

However, just as Gu Han was speaking...

Xue Qinghe suddenly summoned his swan spirit, entered spirit possession mode, and then activated a flight-type spirit skill, with a pair of snow-white wings suddenly unfolding from his back.

"Trying to run away?!"

Upon discovering that Xue Qinghe actually wanted to escape, Gu Han couldn't help but chuckle, completely unsurprised.

After all, Xue Qinghe was a prince cultivated by the Heavenly Dou royal family through elite education.

He was gentle and refined in character, but he was by no means cowardly and would never surrender without a fight.

But he was prepared.

The Realm of Ice!

With a thought, Gu Han instantly activated his Ice Domain.

In a burst of icy blue light, the Ice Domain instantly enveloped Xue Qinghe.

Then, the Frozen Aura skill was activated.

With a difference of two entire realms in strength, an extreme chill instantly froze Xue Qinghe's legs, connecting them to the ground.

This meant that even if Xue Qinghe activated his flight-type soul skill and unfurled a pair of snow-white swan wings, he still couldn't take off.

This caused Xue Qinghe's expression to change drastically, and his heart sank.

Is he going to die here this time?

"Gu Han, let's kill him immediately to avoid any unforeseen complications."

"Although he is a very nice person, he is indeed a kind and virtuous gentleman."

"If he weren't the eldest prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, perhaps we could have become friends."

"But for the sake of our Spirit Hall's grand plan, for the peace of the continent, and for the future of countless civilians."

"In order to achieve our dreams with minimal sacrifice and cost, we have no other choice!"

At this moment, Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes held a complex expression as she looked at Xue Qinghe, speaking as she walked over.

But listening to Qian Renxue's words, Xue Qinghe only found them extremely ridiculous.

He was unaware of Qian Renxue's grand ambition to unify the continent.

I just felt that Qian Renxue wanted to kill him, so why did she use the peace of the continent and the future of countless civilians as an excuse?

How utterly hypocritical!

However, Gu Han suddenly smiled at Qian Renxue's words and said...

"Actually, after thinking about it, we don't necessarily have to kill him."

"Xue'er, all you need is his identity. As long as we can give him a new identity, he can live a peaceful life in another place."

"Not killing him isn't necessarily a bad thing!"

"That way, we'll feel a little better."

"After all, His Highness the Crown Prince is also a friend of ours. If we kill him..."

"I believe that both you, Xue'er, and I will feel some guilt in our hearts."

At this point, Gu Han was quite moved.

He had always intended to kill Xue Qinghe, just like Qian Renxue.

Although I will definitely feel guilty when I think about this in the future.

But there was nothing we could do.

However, after Gu Han used the Heavenly Evolution System to deduce the Heaven-Changing Earth-Striking Technique at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye,

It was discovered that the "Heaven and Earth Shattering Technique" can alter a person's memory.

Furthermore, the alchemical texts they deduced even recorded special elixirs that could permanently alter a person's appearance.

This made Gu Han think of another, better way to deal with Xue Qinghe.

That is to change Xue Qinghe's memories through the Heaven-Shattering Earth-Shattering Technique, and then change Xue Qinghe's appearance with elixirs.

Finally, he secretly took her out of the Heavenly Dou Hunting Grounds and had Dugu Bo send her to a remote village that had been selected beforehand.

Let them live there quietly from now on.

As friends, this was the best ending Gu Han could arrange for Xue Qinghe within his own capabilities.

Do you need my identity?

Hearing Gu Han say that all Qian Renxue needed was his identity, Xue Qinghe was immediately horrified.

He instantly realized Qian Renxue's, or rather, the Spirit Hall's, purpose.

The Spirit Hall actually wants to replace me with Xue'er and then seize the throne of our Heaven Dou Empire?!

For a moment, Xue Qinghe felt a deep sense of grief, indignation, and rage, as if he had become a sinner of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Upon hearing Gu Han's words, he was overcome with sorrow and burst into self-deprecating and sarcastic laughter.

"Brother Gu Han, stop with the hypocrisy! You want to take my place and seize our Heaven Dou Empire. Your Spirit Hall is so evil; you'll get your comeuppance sooner or later!"

"Don't think that I'll be grateful to you just because you didn't kill me!"

Xue Qinghe roared angrily, venting his grief and rage.

But Gu Han shook his head, a complex mix of emotions flashing in his eyes, and sighed softly.

"Your Highness, we spared your life not because we wanted your gratitude."

"It doesn't really matter what you think, because we have different perspectives."

"Sister Xue'er and I only ask to have a clear conscience as much as possible!"

After saying that, Gu Han activated the Heaven-Shattering Earth-Shattering Technique, directly pulling Xue Qinghe into the illusion.

Then, through the illusion, he continuously compiled and modified Xue Qinghe's memories.

Due to the absolute difference in their soul levels, Xue Qinghe's memories were quickly altered from those of the eldest prince of the Heaven Dou Empire to those of an honest and simple boy from an ordinary, remote village.

Then, Gu Han took out a small jade bottle from his Void Ring.

Upon opening, it was found to be filled with a green, gel-like substance that resembled jade.

This is a special ointment that Gu Han made by using a special herb called Yixingcao, which grows near the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, as the main ingredient. It can permanently change a person's appearance.

After extracting the ointment with his soul power and applying it to Xue Qinghe's face.

While Gu Han used his qi and blood to help Xue Qinghe sculpt her face.

Soon, Xue Qinghe's appearance was changed to match the appearance of the honest and simple boy in his modified memory.

Finally, after making Qian Renxue leave, Gu Han stripped Xue Qinghe of all his clothes, storage soul tools, and other items that could prove his identity, and dressed him in the clothes of an ordinary village boy.

At this moment, Murasaki also arrived.

Gu Han handed Xue Qinghe, who had changed his clothes and was still unconscious, to Zi Ji.

Then he had Zi Ji secretly lead Xue Qinghe out of the Tian Dou Royal Hunting Ground.

After Zi Ji left with Xue Qinghe, who had been transformed and whose memories had been altered.

Qian Renxue changed into Xue Qinghe's clothes and various items, took a deep breath, and activated the disguise soul skill of the Angel Soul Bone.

In a burst of dazzling golden light.

Qian Renxue's figure and appearance suddenly began to change, and in an instant she became the same as Xue Qinghe.

"Brother Gu Han, how is it?"

After disguising herself as Xue Qinghe, Qian Renxue gave Gu Han a gentle smile, almost identical to the real Xue Qinghe.

"Sister Xue'er, it's exactly the same!"

Seeing Qian Renxue disguised as Xue Qinghe, Gu Han was amazed to find that her figure, appearance, the curve of her lips when she spoke and smiled, and all the details of her body were exactly the same as the real Xue Qinghe.

After Qian Renxue disguised herself as Xue Qinghe...

A new Xueqing River has been born!
