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

Chapter 115 Mother and Daughter Fight Inside the Spirit Hall

Seeing Tang Hao leave and no longer sensing his presence, Lan Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I never expected that Tang Hao's strength would have improved so much after all these years." Lan Xue gripped the halberd in her hand, blood still seeping from the tiger's mouth of her palm, staining the halberd handle. "Mr. Dugu, if it weren't for you here today, I wouldn't have had a chance of winning in a one-on-one fight with Tang Hao."

Even though Tang Hao was covered in hidden injuries, his physical attributes were simply too outstanding.

Before the hidden injury flares up, it can suppress her to the point of being unable to breathe.

Back then, Tang Hao didn't have a full soul bone or a 100,000-year soul ring. Although there was a difference in their physical strength, it shouldn't have been to the extent of what it is today. But today, every hammer blow from Tang Hao can make her internal organs ache.

"Let's go, Mr. Dugu, let's go back to the town," Lan Xue said.

"But Your Majesty Xuanbing, what about your injuries?" Dugu Bo asked worriedly. Lan Xue's injuries were quite severe. Her lungs and internal organs had been damaged by the Haotian Hammer, and her shoulder bone was broken. It was only held together by the ice.

"It's nothing, this injury is nothing to me," Lan Xue said calmly.

The blow Tang Hao unleashed back then, which he couldn't control, injured her far more severely than it did today. Moreover, things are different now. Lan Xue has consumed two immortal herbs, though neither of them are body-refining herbs. The Hunyuan Immortal Herb, in particular, only enhances internal energy and doesn't even have the ability to improve physical constitution.

However, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng gave Lan Xue's body extremely strong resilience. As long as she was not dead, her body could recover very quickly and it was difficult for her to suffer any hidden injuries.

This injury will heal in a while, and as for soul power, it can be cured by meditating for a night.

Lan Xue tossed the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone in her hand, looking extremely happy. This was the first time in her life she had obtained such a precious treasure.

With this, it doesn't matter if the little rabbit doesn't move for now. After all, even if she and Dugu Bo don't care about her, it doesn't mean that no one can scheme against her.

She believed that there was another person here who could also discover Xiao Wu's identity, and that was her own son.

One of Nan Feihuang's external soul bone skills, Ghost Eye, can see through the flow of soul power. The two biggest differences between transformed soul beasts and humans are their auras, but only Soul Douluo level or higher can detect this.

Secondly, the flow of soul power is completely different from that of humans, and Lan Xue believes that this cannot be hidden from her son.

On the other side, Tang Hao had just gotten away from Lan Xue and Dugu Bo. In the deserted woods, he couldn't help himself; a sweet taste rose in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. "Ugh!!!"

"Cough cough..."

Then came an uncontrollable cough.

In this battle, he had completely reached his limit. If he hadn't been holding on and showing that he still had some strength left, he really wouldn't have been able to deceive Lan Xue and Dugu Bo.

The idea that the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Ring could provide him with the life force for his final nine-ring simultaneous explosion was purely a bluff.

It's true that the Blue Silver Emperor can enhance vitality, but it's impossible for it to be powerful enough to cause all nine rings to explode simultaneously. If it did explode, it would probably perish before its opponent.

"Damn it, Lan Xue's body is so strange. She only has one soul bone, but its toughness is unusually strong, far surpassing that of Ju Gui back then. If I hadn't used the Clear Sky Hammer to take the initiative and intimidate her with my aura, I'm afraid today would have been difficult."

Tang Hao's hidden injuries are a real problem. They are fine for short battles and have little impact, but if he encounters an expert of the same level and it becomes a protracted battle, he will easily be worn down.

If it weren't for his hidden injuries that had recurred, he definitely wouldn't have lost to Lan Xue and Dugu Bo.

If he wins, he will definitely kill them. Although both of them are people who value their reputation, in Tang Hao's view, only the dead can completely keep the secret.

"Well, this is the best outcome I could achieve so far," Tang Hao sighed inwardly.

At least for the time being, there's no need to worry about Lan Xue and Dugu Bo causing trouble for Xiao Wu. These two are very committed to their promises, and since they promised not to harm Xiao Wu again, they won't easily break their vows.

Unfortunately, he focused his attention on the wrong place; the one who truly wanted to scheme against Xiao Wu was someone else.

The bright moon hung high in the sky. The devastated forest looked as if it had just experienced a magnitude 10 earthquake. If the group hadn't deliberately restrained themselves and hadn't used their ninth soul skills or the Great Sumeru Hammer, the town would likely have been affected as well.

All three titled Douluo had left. Inside the room in the town, Nan Feihuang looked at the red mane in his hand. This time, he feared he would need Red Hare's help.

With the help of the sealing technique from back then, it is unknown how much of his power Red Hare has sealed away. As long as it is more than 80%, then Nan Feihuang is confident that by using the human-horse unity auxiliary skill, he can temporarily borrow the last 20% of Red Hare's power in a short period of time without letting it break through uncontrollably and attract the million-year divine calamity.

Don't be fooled by the fact that only a little over 10% remains. Red Hare's cultivation is profound, and even that 10% surpasses that of many Title Douluos.

Meanwhile, in the Spirit Hall's archives room.

In the dead of night, someone was still here reading by lamplight, researching information; it was Qian Renxue who had just returned.

On the desk were dozens of illustrated guides to soul beasts. Qian Renxue quickly flipped through them, seemingly searching for something.

She had been searching since morning, and finally found what she was looking for on the twenty-seventh book.

"That's it, this is it!" Qian Renxue was overjoyed. She quickly took out paper and pen and drew the appearance of the soul beast, and copied down all its living habits, fighting style, where it appeared, and the method of identifying its age.

Her handwriting is beautiful and neat, just like her personality.

Qian Renxue copied the text with utmost care, afraid of making any mistakes. She didn't even notice that a figure was already standing at the door, looking at her with a complicated expression.

Only after Qian Renxue finished copying everything and began tidying up the table did she approach, saying, "You found what you were looking for? You actually went to this extent for a boy."

"It's you." Qian Renxue turned around and looked at the person who had come. It was actually Bibi Dong, her "sister".

"What are you doing here so late? Is there something you need?"

"Is that Nan Feihuang very important to you?" Bibi Dong asked bluntly. "You actually went through all the rare soul beast data collected by my Spirit Hall just to get the soul ring he wanted. Are you trying to aid the enemy?"

"Aiding the enemy? Heh, what makes you say that? First, Fei Huang saved my life, so why shouldn't I repay him? Second, Fei Huang is not an enemy of my Spirit Hall, and I am confident that I can bring him back to my side. How can you say I'm aiding the enemy? If you're talking about aiding the enemy, I once heard someone say that when you were young, you had a group of people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and you practically used this archive room as your dormitory. Who exactly were you aiding the enemy?" Qian Renxue smiled sarcastically and asked in return.

Bibi Dong's face turned ugly after hearing her words, and she immediately retorted, "Take him under your control? You are really naive. You were deceived by a man and still thought he liked you. If Nan Feihuang truly loved you, why would he hide it from you?"

"Feihuang is hiding something from me? What is he hiding from me?" Qian Renxue asked doubtfully, feeling uneasy. Could it be that Feihuang really was deceiving her somewhere?

"You don't know yet, do you? He already has a childhood sweetheart by his side. You've been completely manipulated by him." Bibi Dong had already obtained information about Nan Feihuang through Xu Rong, a traitor in the Kingdom of Gu Lei. However, Qian Renxue had only intended to use Nan Feihuang before, so this information was irrelevant.

Over the years, she gradually realized that Qian Renxue seemed to be falling into a trap, so she had no choice but to let her suffer a short pain rather than a long one.

"You mean Lü Lingqi, the girl you grew up with?" Qian Renxue asked instinctively.

Bibi Dong was taken aback. "You actually knew? Nan Feihuang is so blunt with you?"

Qian Renxue smiled slightly. So this was what Bibi Dong wanted to say. She immediately felt relieved.

Just as Bibi Dong said, if Nan Feihuang had feelings for her, he wouldn't hide it from her.

Conversely, isn't Nan Feihuang's composure precisely because he likes her and is afraid she might misunderstand him in the future?

It can be said that Bibi Dong was unwittingly tricked by Nan Feihuang, who gave her a reverse assist.

"Yes, Feihuang even said he'd introduce me to him next time. Actually, when we first met, he told me that he has two types of girls he likes: someone like me and someone like Lü Lingqi. It's inevitable to have impulses when you're young, and he didn't hide anything from me. He admitted that he was indeed attracted to someone named Lü Lingqi until he met me and realized what true love is. Sister, you said that you shouldn't lie about liking someone, and I agree with that. So, what do you think of Feihuang's frankness?" Qian Renxue asked with great confidence.

However, this confidence was extremely irritating to Bibi Dong.

Nan Feihuang's behavior so far has gradually solidified her opinion of him.

Back then, without knowing that Xue Qinghe was Qian Renxue, he told Xue Qinghe that the type of woman he liked was just like Qian Renxue.

In the imperial court, they shared the same interests and political views, and were like-minded people.

Within the Starry Sky Forest, he risked his life to save her.

In the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, he confessed his mistakes to Xue Qinghe, admitted that he had fallen in love with Qian Renxue, and even wanted to break off his engagement with Xue Ke for Qian Renxue, not caring about offending the Heavenly Dou Empire. He also confessed his love to Qian Renxue without her knowledge.

Now he's openly and honestly telling her about his first love without holding anything back.

From longing in their hearts, to going through hardships together, to relying on each other through life and death, and then to an unintentional confession, they finally understood each other's feelings.

Then came two years of continuous correspondence.

Even she wouldn't believe it if Nan Feihuang didn't love Qian Renxue.

But why should Qian Xunji ruin her life, and why should Qian Renxue be able to find happiness?
