Douluo Continent: Evolving from the Demon Soul Great White Shark

The topic they had just been discussing was already quite heavy, and now that someone was suddenly knocking on the door, the three of them couldn't help but show a slightly solemn expression.

Dugu Bo glanced at Bai Xiao, who narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment before nodding.

"Please come in."

As Dugu Bo finished speaking, the door was finally slowly opened from the outside.

Bright sunlight flooded their vision, making it difficult for anyone to clearly see the newcomer's appearance.

Dugu Bo only let out a surprised exclamation after the other person slowly took a few steps into the room.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

Bai Xiao and Dugu Yan both looked at the figure entering. The newcomer was dressed in a white, gold-embroidered robe, with a refined and scholarly demeanor. His face always wore a kind and gentle smile, and although his clothes were gorgeous, he gave people a sense of approachability.

The Crown Prince? Xue Qinghe?

No, it should be Qian Renxue disguised as Xue Qinghe.

What is he doing here all of a sudden?

Although Bai Xiao's expression remained calm, he had already begun to consider various possible outcomes.

"Oh?"

"What a coincidence."

The figure opposite him made a surprised expression quite naturally, and then bowed slightly to Dugu Bo.

"Junior Xue Qinghe greets Senior Poison Douluo."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo composed himself and replied with a smile.

"Your Highness is too kind."

"What is this...?"

Xue Qinghe, ever the friendly type, walked into the house and began to speak to himself.

"I heard from my subordinates that someone fought with Yu Tianheng during the day. Not only did he defeat Yu Tianheng without using any soul skills, but he also learned the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan after the battle."

"The reason I came here is to get to know such outstanding talents."

After saying that, he fixed his gaze on Bai Xiao.

He gave a very humble smile and extended his right hand to him.

"It seems this must be Bai Xiao."

"Hello, my name is Xue Qinghe, and I am the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"Hello, White Owl."

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Bai Xiao naturally placed his hand on it and shook it lightly.

He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he sensed a hint of lingering affection in the other person's movements as he withdrew his hand.

It's like deliberately using some subtle actions.

However, such trivial matters were insignificant; what Bai Xiao cared more about was Qian Renxue's background.

"It's like a pillow being delivered when I'm sleepy. With this little angel joining us, we shouldn't have to worry about that Yu Yuanzhen guy anymore."

Thinking this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Bai Xiao's eyes.

"Bai Xiao is indeed a very handsome man."

"Haha~ His Highness the Crown Prince takes very good care of his skin."

[Soul Bone Skill: Soul Detection.]

Facing Qian Renxue, Bai Xiao immediately activated his detection skill.

Since everyone says this little angel is very shrewd and can perfectly hide his emotions and true thoughts, he decided to directly probe into the other person's mind.

A subtle, deep blue glint appeared in Qian Renxue's clear gray eyes, and Qian Renxue's thoughts echoed in Bai Xiao's mind.

He's quite handsome, though.

[Wait a minute! A bone age of 6 years old? How is that possible?]

The information says he's 14 years old. Could it be because he's practiced the Dragon Transformation Technique?

Wow! This little angel is so thoughtful, she actually took the opportunity to feel my bone age while shaking hands.

So that's why the other person suddenly pinched him so hard earlier; it turns out they were waiting for him to do that.

Fortunately, this guy had a lot of inner monologues, which allowed Bai Xiao to detect his thoughts in time...

"Cough cough~"

"that……"

Seemingly to conceal his shock at the detection results, Xue Qinghe coughed twice.

"Excuse my boldness, but may I ask what Bai Xiao's current strength is, and how old is he?"

"Uh, don't misunderstand. I just think that Bai Xiao must be quite strong to have been able to defeat Yu Tianheng, who is now a Soul Master, just by relying on the amplification of his Martial Soul."

Bai Xiao sneered inwardly, but nodded slightly on the surface.

"I am 14 years old now, and my soul power has just reached level 42."

[14 years old! Level 42.]

[His cultivation speed is already among the top tier; he's truly a rare genius. It seems I made the right decision to come this time.]

[If we can bring him under our command, he will undoubtedly become a formidable and invaluable fighting force in the future.]

Qian Renxue did not doubt the matter of bone age too much, but attributed the result she had just obtained to the side effects of the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique.

After all, even setting aside whether a 6-year-old with a bone age can cultivate to level 42, it would be difficult for Bai Xiao, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, to do so.

Faced with such an extremely unreasonable outcome, she naturally chose to ignore it.

"Oh, right."

"I heard from the academy that you just enrolled today. Did you have any teachers or mentors before?"

……

What followed was a series of questions from Qian Renxue to Bai Xiao.

What's your hometown? What relatives do you have? What are your plans for the future?

It has to be said that Qian Renxue's eagerness to attract talent is indeed quite serious. After learning that the only people who are currently related to Bai Xiao are Dugu Bo and his grandson, her eyes almost lit up when she looked at people.

In Qian Renxue's eyes, Bai Xiao's current situation is practically the template for a suicide squad. As long as Dugu Yan is controlled and Bai Xiao is given some benefits, then in the future, whether he is Xue Qinghe or Qian Renxue, Bai Xiao will only work for her.

Thinking of this, his usual warm smile became noticeably more excited.

"It's lunchtime, why don't the three of you come with me to my residence? I'll have someone prepare a good meal, and we can eat and chat at the same time."

Xue Qinghe glanced at everyone, his eyes filled with sincere anticipation.

Dugu Bo glanced at Bai Xiao, and only spoke after seeing that Bai Xiao did not explicitly refuse.

"Then I'll have to trouble Your Highness."

What's going on?

It seems even Dugu Bo needs to consult Bai Xiao's opinion. What exactly is the relationship between these two?

……

On the way to the Crown Prince's residence.

Xue Qinghe deliberately sat in the same carriage as Bai Xiao, creating a space for the two of them to be alone.

At this point, he could no longer suppress his urgency to possess Bai Xiao, so he unfolded a barrier to block out sound and said.

"Bai Xiao, classmate."

"Would you be interested in serving the royal family?"

"I?"

Bai Xiao raised an eyebrow and then replied calmly.

"I'm sorry, I'm not very interested in that."

Why?

Xue Qinghe's smile froze for a moment because the answer was too straightforward; the other party hadn't even listened to the conditions he had set.

This is quite rare. Does he have some prejudice against the royal family?

Seemingly to verify his conjecture, Bai Xiao replied calmly.

"Excuse my frankness, but I'm only interested in people who are better than me."

"If I have to curry favor with a group of people less capable than me just for a little money, then I feel that my life and future will be meaningless."

Bai Xiao spoke frankly and openly, without any respect for the royal family, and without showing any negative emotions, as if this belief that had guided him throughout his life would never be shaken by anything.

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe clenched her fist tightly.

What? He's so aloof...

Her long years of living undercover made her deeply resonate with these words.

He's right; I'm the same way.

I am clearly the most dazzling genius on the continent, yet I am forced to spend my days surrounded by those good-for-nothings.

I never imagined there were people in this world who shared my ideals so well.

【White Owl, oh White Owl, who exactly are you?】
