Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 283 The Future Emperor

Qian Renxue was stunned upon hearing this.

What does that mean?

I want to find a mistress for my man myself, and my mother has to act as matchmaker, all to prevent me from whispering in his ear.

Good heavens, from today onwards, the title of the biggest sucker in Douluo Continent is firmly on my head.

But now she appears as Xue Qinghe, and from Xue Qinghe's perspective, this matter is indeed entirely beneficial.

Regardless of the world, marriage is the best way for two forces to get closer.

Moreover, apart from special mutations, most martial souls are inherited from the stronger of the two parents.

Therefore, if Xue Ke is able to give birth to a child, he will most likely inherit Xiao Yu's powerful divine-level martial soul bloodline. Even if Xue Ke's bloodline power is not strong enough to affect the quality of the martial soul, breaking through to the Title Douluo level will not be difficult. Moreover, the Heaven Dou royal family has not had a Title Douluo with royal blood for many years.

Qian Renxue suppressed her anger and forced a smile, saying, "Father, rest assured, your son will do his utmost to make this happen!"

. . . . . . . . . .

"Xue'er, it hurts! Let go!"

Having bottled up her anger in the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, Qian Renxue finally vented it on Xiao Yu. Her delicate hands twisted Xiao Yu's ear as she unleashed her fury: "I knew something was off! You bastard, did you already know that old scoundrel Xue Ye would use marriage to forge an alliance? Have you forgotten what I told you in the Underworld? If you dare to bother me again, I'll make you pay!"

Xiao Yu hurriedly protested, "Xue'er, you've really misunderstood me. How could I possibly fancy that girl Xue Ke? Let go, it really hurts!"

"Don't try to fool me!"

Qian Renxue snorted coldly, her grip tightening in the slightest: "You're so shrewd, how could you not have foreseen that old man Xue Ye's actions? I think you've been harboring your own schemes all along. What, do you think that little brat Xue Ke is cuter and more charming?"

In fact, Qian Renxue usually treated Xue Ke quite well. This princess was spoiled since childhood, didn't have much scheming, and was very dependent on her, which made Qian Renxue, whose father died early and whose mother didn't love her, feel a little bit of family affection.

However, this kinship is based on the premise that Xue Ke does not pose a threat to her. At least now, Qian Renxue, who has sensed the danger, already regards Xue Ke as a monstrous threat. Not taking the opportunity to kill Xue Ke is already Qian Renxue's last act of mercy.

(Xue Ke: What does this have to do with me? I've been manipulated from the very beginning!)

"Xue'er, let me explain. You've really misunderstood me. Let go!"

After Xiao Yu pleaded, Qian Renxue reluctantly released her grip on Xiao Yu's ear.

Xiao Yu rubbed his already red ears and sighed, "Xue'er, I did expect Xue Ye to propose a marriage alliance, but I'm doing this for your own good!"

"You're doing this for my own good, but now you're lying without even thinking!"

Qian Renxue's eyes flashed with cold light, and she stepped forward to pinch Xiao Yu's ear again.

Xiao Yu quickly reached out to block Qian Renxue's outstretched arm. His poor ears couldn't take the torture any longer, so he hurriedly said, "Xue'er, have you ever thought about making our child the future Emperor of Tiandou!"

"What do you mean?"

Qian Renxue was taken aback, somewhat confused by Xiao Yu's train of thought.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu continued, "Xue'er, Xue Qinghe should be almost thirty years old by now. As the Crown Prince of the Empire, he's still unmarried at thirty. I bet that old man Xue Ye has been pressuring you about it quite a bit!"

Qian Renxue nodded; she had indeed felt considerable pressure in this regard over the past few years.

In Douluo Continent, especially for Soul Masters, physical development is early. Oscar once said that his parents had him when he was fourteen or fifteen years old. His nominal younger brother, Xue Beng, had already been involved with many women. Although he had not yet married his official wife, he had already kept more than ten concubines in private.

Xue Qinghe, a single man approaching thirty, has no wife, let alone a concubine. When he was a teenager, he was praised for being indifferent to women, but as he approached thirty, all sorts of rumors started to circulate.

"Xue'er, the most important thing for members of the royal family is to have offspring. If you remain unmarried for a long time, this will eventually become a weapon for your political enemies to use against you!"

Xiao Yu revealed his thoughts: "Therefore, the marriage alliance this time is not between Xue Ke and me, but rather between Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire and my sister!"

Qian Renxue understood somewhat: "You're trying to shut those people in the Heavenly Dou court up. And this way, even if my child doesn't awaken the Heavenly Dou royal family's Swan Martial Soul, outsiders will only think that the Martial Soul of your Nine Star Palace's direct lineage is too powerful!"

"good!"

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Xue'er, Emperor Xue Ye won't live for many more years. After you ascend the throne, the affairs of state will only become more burdensome, seriously affecting your cultivation progress. So I was thinking, why don't you give birth to a child as soon as possible, then fake your death to escape and pass the throne to our child, and then you can focus on cultivation and become an emperor hidden behind the scenes!"

In the future, you and I will join forces to destroy those clowns like the Star Luo Sect and the Clear Sky Sect, wrest the power of the Spirit Hall back from that person, and let our child become the sole emperor of this continent!

"That's a good idea!"

Qian Renxue also thought Xiao Yu's idea was excellent: "However, where did you get this sister? You can't just find anyone to make up the numbers. The Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire's wedding will be a grand affair, with representatives from all sides attending. A random substitute would likely be exposed on the spot. Besides, based on my understanding of that old scoundrel Xue Ye, if your fabricated sister doesn't possess considerable strength, I'm afraid he won't agree!"

"What's so difficult about that?"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly and said, "Xue'er, have you forgotten how I obtained that silly rabbit's 100,000-year soul ring?"

"You mean, an illusion?"

Qian Renxue frowned: "Will this work?"

"Xue'er, don't worry!"

Xiao Yu assured Qian Renxue, "With Saga's power, creating an illusion to deceive everyone would be a piece of cake. Unless someone trapped in that illusion faces a life-threatening situation, I don't think such a thing would happen at the wedding."

"In that case, I have a condition!"

A sly glint suddenly flashed across Qian Renxue's face: "On our wedding day, no substitutes are allowed. Your men will impersonate Xue Qinghe, and I will be the bride. The entire Douluo Continent will witness our wedding!"

Although Qian Renxue had accepted Huo Wu and Ye Lingling, her pride prevented her from accepting the phenomenon of three women marrying one man at the wedding. In fact, she had been plotting for a long time how to be the first to hold a wedding with Xiao Yu and become the first wife to enter the family. Xiao Yu's plan actually provided her with convenience.
