Douluo Continent: Starting with Ten Kings of Hell, Shocking Qian Renxue

Chapter 58 Wait until she leaves, then make your move!

Inside the palace, Qian Renxue clutched her skirt helplessly with both hands.

She didn't speak, but her flushed face, which seemed to radiate heat out of thin air, said it all.

"Qin Zheng, he..."

"You don't think I'm an easy girl to get, do you?"

After a long while, her moist red lips parted slightly, her pearly teeth gently biting them. Her words were filled with shyness about her earlier act of kissing Qin Zheng, and even more so with nervousness about what Qin Zheng would think afterward...

"But this is my first time too."

Qian Renxue's eyes were as clear as water as she murmured to herself.

This isn't to say she's being stubborn; in the past twenty years, apart from Qin Zheng, she has never had such intimate interactions with any other man.

Or rather... no other man is even qualified to get close to her!

Therefore, this initiative to kiss is absolutely unprecedented for Qian Renxue in the past twenty years.

"Oh dear!"

"It's all his fault! Who told him to say those things!"

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue couldn't help but stomp her foot and blame Qin Zheng.

But when she thought of what Qin Zheng had said earlier, a sweet smile couldn't help but appear on her flushed face.

"But he's really handsome..."

"It's hard not to be tempted."

Women are naturally prone to overthinking.

But more than anything, it's about attitude—the attitude of the person you like towards you.

It was because she sensed the intense killing intent behind Qin Zheng's words "I'm tired of you" that she dared not take the initiative to approach him.

Because she was afraid—afraid that Qin Zheng would think she was indecisive, stupid, and lowly…

Because she liked Qin Zheng, and basically no man would like a girl like that.

Therefore, she didn't want Qin Zheng to think that way, which is why she would rather cry in prison than take the initiative to find Qin Zheng.

But then, Qin Zheng suddenly agreed to let her go back, and even said that he would not confront the so-called Spirit Hall for her sake...

What does this mean? It means that this man is willing to make concessions for her!

Of course, if it were just about being willing to make concessions for her, Qian Renxue wouldn't be so excited as to kiss her directly.

Most importantly, the person who was willing to make concessions for her was Qin Zheng!

She had already experienced this man's domineering nature firsthand. He was completely intolerant of any dissent, and to achieve his goals, he was capable of massacring entire cities and killing surrendered soldiers, leaving blood to flow for thousands of miles!

A man like this, who is willing to make concessions for her, shouldn't that make her feel happy and sweet inside?

"I don't want to think about it anymore!"

"Take a shower, eat, and hurry home to see what's going on."

"Otherwise, if Grandpa comes looking for us in person later, things will get complicated."

【…】

"Your Majesty, it seems the Soul Masters from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the Power Clan have discovered our investigation. Their gates are tightly shut today, and many Soul Masters have reluctantly returned, suggesting they're about to make their move!"

"If they can't hold back, then let Emperor Song go. Let them continue to suppress their anger. Tonight, I don't want to see anything happen!"

"Yes, sir!"

【…】

"Your Majesty, there is something I don't understand, and I'm unsure whether I should speak of it..."

"speak."

"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly decide to let Miss Qian leave?"

Inside the pavilion, after the messenger left, Bai Wuchang respectfully served Qin Zheng tea and said softly.

The room fell silent for a moment after he asked his question.

Qin Zheng picked up his teacup and took a small sip. "Why?"

At that moment, a rare hint of a smile flashed across his cold, dark eyes.

Very simple.

The Spirit Hall and Qin Zheng themselves do not have a direct conflict of interest.

Or to be more precise, it is the Qian Daoliu faction that, apart from the previous gathering of the five titled individuals, has almost no direct conflict with him.

Although he was also very unhappy about this, the actions of the few elders of the Spirit Hall were somewhat satisfactory to him.

Later, the actions of these worshippers between him and Qian Renxue made Qin Zheng willing to spare their lives.

After all, in the absence of blood feuds, an emperor would naturally prioritize his own interests, and only secondarily consider whether someone is an enemy or a friend.

In this world, there are only eternal interests, not eternal enemies.

This was especially true among emperors.

Secondly...

"That little fox's crying really made me..."

"I'm very satisfied."

Qin Zheng smiled slightly. The former was a reason for him to release the person, but it was by no means an excuse for him to release the person voluntarily. The most important thing was that Qian Renxue was crying in the dungeon and had said something wrong...

This made him feel somewhat satisfied.

That was also a major reason why he let her go back.

However, although he thought so in his heart, he still said it lightly.

"When has the Emperor ever needed a reason to do something?"

He paused, then downed the tea in his cup in one gulp. "If I wanted to do it, I did it."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wuchang fell silent for a moment.

Indeed, the emperor before him acted without reason, only for personal gain. For example, if the people submitted to him, he would accept it if he wanted, and if they did not, he would simply massacre the entire city!

Even those nobles, whether they were thinking of begging for mercy or something else, from the moment the two sides clashed...

Leave no one alive!

This was the answer given by Qin Zheng, and the numerous battles and massacres that followed fully demonstrated the power of this emperor's words.

but……

Bai Wuchang looked at Qin Zheng, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

"If Miss Zhao were to see Your Majesty's actions, she would surely be very pleased."

He didn't care what Qin Zheng did or what Miss Zhao thought; what truly made him happy was Qin Zheng's happiness.

Because he could tell that Qin Zheng was genuinely happy.

He had never seen such happiness since the Qin family was raided and their entire household was exterminated.

【…】

"Aunt Min..." Upon hearing this name, the smile in Qin Zheng's eyes faded, replaced by a hint of sadness.

"Aunt Min, how are you feeling?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Wuchang paused in his tea-pouring motion, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"Even if I and the three Yama Kings extend her life at the same time, the toxins in Miss Zhao's body have already invaded her internal organs."

"I am afraid……"

"He won't live more than three days."

The scene fell into a long silence.

"I will send her back."

"Take action immediately!"

Qin Zheng spoke calmly, a burning light flashing in his eyes, a terrifying killing intent surging within.

The reason he has been hesitant to deal with the Power Sect and the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is that, unlike the well-established noble families, their disciples are too scattered, making investigations too complicated.

If you kill them too early, although the big fish won't escape, many of the small fish will eventually get away.

Secondly, there have been many things going on in Tiandou City recently, and the matter of Qian Renxue has not been dealt with yet, leaving him unable to deal with these two families.

But now, if Aunt Min really only has three days left...

Tonight is the last night.

Because it was his promise to let Aunt Min see with her own eyes that everyone involved in the Qin family case that day would be executed along with their entire families!

creak-

Suddenly, a loud thud echoed through the room as a door shifted, and wisps of white mist drifted through the silent night.

The next chapter will be released in 30 minutes. After sending Qian Renxue away, the killing will begin immediately!
