Douluo Continent: Peerless God General, starting by deceiving Qian Renxue

Chapter 100: Deceived into Feeling Emotion

Nan Feihuang stayed in the East Palace until sunset before leaving.

Xue Ke was very happy all day today because her favorite older brother had finally emerged from seclusion, and her sweetheart Nan Feihuang had also returned. The time when the two of them were with her was the happiest time of her life.

Compared to her relaxed and happy demeanor, the other person was much more disoriented.

After Nan Feihuang left, Xue Ke also returned to her palace. When only Xue Qinghe was left, she could no longer maintain her composure after a day of pretending.

As soon as she got back to her room, she couldn't help but clench her clothes at her chest, where her heart was.

She felt the same way Nan Feihuang had described—a racing heartbeat.

She was confessed to today by Nan Feihuang.

Although Nan Feihuang's previous actions had made her realize that he might like her, such a sincere confession was the first time she had ever encountered one like this in her life.

She didn't know how to respond to Nan Feihuang.

Nan Feihuang was clearly her sister's husband, and she should have firmly refused him, but she felt a little reluctant, which made her extremely upset.

"This is so annoying, so incredibly annoying. What should I do?" Xue Qinghe was extremely distressed. She didn't want to hurt either Nan Feihuang or Xue Ke.

She's always been someone who prioritizes self-interest, and can be incredibly ruthless when it comes to sacrificing those around her. But for some reason, she's become a bit indecisive right now.

She overlooked one point: she wasn't truly cold-blooded after all; in fact, she had already drawn a circle around herself in her heart.

To her, everyone in this world falls into only two categories: those inside her circle and those outside it.

Those outside her circle, even those who appear to be her confidants, she can sacrifice at any time for her own benefit. But those inside her circle are those who have truly begun to enter her heart, like Qian Daoliu, who is right at the very center of her circle.

Anyone who dares to hurt her grandfather, she will absolutely risk her life to fight them. Even if Nan Feihuang and Xue Ke are not as important as Qian Daoliu, they have already stepped into the edge of her circle, so she does not want to hurt them.

Fortunately, she confirmed one thing today: Nan Feihuang had fallen completely in love with her. Since that was the case, she didn't need to worry too much about the time limit given by Qian Daoliu. Because as long as she spoke, given Nan Feihuang's love and affection for her, this innate divine-level martial soul would inevitably belong to the Spirit Hall. That was good news.

At this moment, Qian Renxue completely regarded Nan Feihuang as her future team.

"What's wrong with the young master? I've never seen her like this before." On the rooftop opposite the East Palace, the Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo were looking at Xue Qinghe's palace with a puzzled expression. Xue Qinghe's figure walked back and forth in the lamplight, never stopping for a moment.

"I don't know, maybe the old injury has flared up again? Hiccup!" The Porcupine Douluo took a sip of something in the bottle in his hand and guessed while burping.

"What are you drinking? Give me a sip." Seeing how happily Ci Xue was drinking, She Long felt a little tempted.

Ci Xue shook the drink in his hand. "You mean this? This is arsenic, it tastes pretty good, do you want some? If you do, hand me a cup."

She Long broke out in a cold sweat. "Uh, never mind, I don't really like drinking arsenic."

He felt he must have lost his mind just now. The things that Ci Xue liked to eat, were they things that normal people could eat?

"You don't like it? Well, I also have medicinal wine soaked in arsenic, heartbreak tea made from Gelsemium elegans, and snake soup made from bamboo viper. See if there's anything you like, and I'll bring it to you." Ci Xue was very generous, after all, he and She Long were like brothers, and he would never hesitate to share good things with them.

At this moment, She Long suddenly understood what the young master was annoyed about. Just like him now, he clearly knew that the bloodletting was well-intentioned, but he didn't want it and couldn't refuse. Wasn't that incredibly annoying?

Meanwhile, the scoundrel who had been causing Qian Renxue such distress was calmly preparing to return to his dormitory.

Upon entering the academy, I discovered that even in the dead of night, beneath the swan statue in the square, people were still having a secret rendezvous.

"Lingling, it's been so long. Seeing you again, I finally understand what it means for my heart to race. There are countless kinds of charm in the world, but my heart belongs to only one person. As long as my heart is still beating, it is because of you. In just one month since I came home, I have also experienced for the first time what it means to be haunted by someone's dreams. Longing is like wine aged in a cellar. The longer it is kept in my heart, the more intense the feelings become. Because of you, I can't help but get drunk."

That familiar voice, those seemingly familiar sentences—Nan Feihuang was speechless, and finally couldn't help but cough to remind the two of them, "Ahem!"

Ye Lingling had just been somewhat swayed by Xun Yu's words, but upon seeing other people arrive, she immediately and subconsciously withdrew her outstretched hand.

"Um, Xun Yu, your prince is here, so I won't bother you any longer. See you tomorrow!" With that, the support-type soul master, out of shyness, actually slipped away at the speed of an agility-type soul master.

Xun Yu looked at Nan Feihuang with a resentful expression, "My lord, can't you be a little more romantic? Why did you have to show up at the most crucial moment when I'm about to succeed?"

Nan Feihuang retorted irritably, "You're talking about me? I'd like to talk about you too! Didn't you already use that same confession on Qian Renxue? How can you reuse it? Although Ye Lingling and Xue Qinghe aren't close, and haven't even exchanged more than a few words, it's better to be safe than sorry. If they find out each other's answers one day, won't we both be exposed?"

"Oh, you're not afraid at all. Ye Lingling, a healing-type Soul Master, can't kill you, but what I have over there is the Angelic Holy Sword! Are you planning to sacrifice your fellow Daoists rather than me?"

"My lord, this is a bit unreasonable of you. This confession was originally my idea. Not only did you forcibly requisition it because of your status as my lord, but you also won't let me use it." Xun Yu said helplessly. "Besides, I always felt that for Qian Renxue, you could simply say that you have fallen in love with her. A few words would have been enough. Why make it sound so affectionate?"

"After all, your goal is not to make her fall in love with you, but to make her mistakenly believe that you have fallen in love with her, so that she will treat you as one of her own, prevent anyone from the Spirit Hall from attacking you again, and buy us precious time to grow."

"It was you, my lord, who insisted that this was your first confession in your life. Even if it was fake, you had to pay attention to the sense of ceremony and show deep affection. So even if you were exposed in the end, it was your own doing. I was even a little worried that you might have really fooled her into falling in love. If that happened, my lord, you would have committed a terrible sin."

Nan Feihuang realized he couldn't win an argument with Xun Yu, so he put on a stern face and said, "Wenruo, I am the lord. What's wrong with letting me try out some good stuff first?"

"I hereby order that from now on, whenever you think of these kinds of lines, always prepare an extra copy for me as a backup."

He somewhat regretted using Xun Yu from Dynasty Warriors as a model back then. Compared to the serious and earnest Xun Wenruo in history, this guy's personality was obviously much more unconventional.

Xun Yu shrugged. "As expected, all lords are the same. If words don't work, they resort to force. And you actually intend to use it again? Heh, my lord, you really are a scumbag!"

Nan Feihuang was furious. "Who gives you the right to talk to me like that? You were the one who came up with the idea to fool people. I was just carrying out your strategy. I'm at most the second scumbag, you're the number one!"

"Alright, alright, I'm number one. But my lord, I heard you say before that you have a few guys you really dislike, and you were planning to start cursing them out whenever you saw them. But now that we've both become scumbags, don't we have no right to curse those you hate when we see them again?"

"It's alright, isn't there still E Lai? He's pure and upright, and now he's a bit more articulate. From now on, we can leave all the fighting and swearing to him."

"Hmm, that makes sense. Who told that simpleton to look so fierce!"

In the pitch-black night, two unscrupulous figures walked arm in arm. They argued, but anyone could see that these two had a very good relationship. They were not only lord and subordinate, but also brothers.
