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

Chapter 30 A Conversation Between Nan Feihuang and Xue Qinghe

As evening approached, Xue Qinghe finally returned.

Upon returning to the palace, the first thing she saw was Nan Feihuang sitting in the garden pavilion, looking utterly dejected.

"Your Highness, you're finally back. Your sister has already gone back to her room to sleep. She kept me up all night," Nan Feihuang said in a low voice.

"Hehe, Crown Prince Feihuang, there's no need to address me like that. You are my sister's fiancé. If you don't mind, just call me 'Big Brother' like she does," Xue Qinghe said with a smile.

"Okay, Brother Xue!" Nan Feihuang didn't stand on ceremony. Whether it was Xue Qinghe, the fake identity, or Qian Renxue, the real person, they were both older than him, so it was fine for him to call her "brother".

"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so drained?" Xue Qinghe asked, feigning ignorance with a half-smile.

She actually knew how difficult her younger sister was. She seemed elegant and well-mannered, but when she started talking, she would talk non-stop, especially when she talked about herself.

"Brother Xue, aren't you asking a question you already know the answer to? I'm begging you, please don't leave that little princess in my care again tomorrow and then run off on your own." Nan Feihuang said almost pleadingly, he really couldn't handle it.

"How can you be so weak? Don't forget, you're engaged to my little sister. You're going to spend your life with her. You're not going to tell me you don't like my little sister, are you?" Xue Qinghe suddenly became serious. "Let me tell you, if you ever dare to bully Ke'er, I won't let you off easily."

Qian Renxue had absolutely no feelings for the other members of the Tiandou royal family, except for Xue Ke, who was an exception, since she had raised Xue Ke since she was an infant.

She's not a cold-blooded animal; how could she possibly be indifferent to the person she raised?

"Don't worry, Brother Xue, Princess Xue Ke is pure and kind. Although she doesn't perfectly match my aesthetic at first glance, she's still at least 80 out of 100, which is quite good," Nan Feihuang said with a smile.

"Oh, you little brat, you know about aesthetics? Then tell me, what is your idea of ​​beauty at 100 points?" Xue Qinghe became interested and sat down next to Nan Feihuang to ask.

Nan Feihuang said, "In my mind, there are two kinds of perfect scores. The first kind is someone with short silver hair, a face full of resolute beauty, heroic bearing, and strong strength!"

"This one sounds like a female general on the battlefield. I didn't expect you to like this type of girl. What about the other one?" Xue Qinghe's guess was very accurate because this image was the one that Nan Feihuang described based on Lü Lingqi.

"Another one is actually an enhanced version of Princess Xue Ke. She has a gentle face and an elegant and sacred temperament. To match this temperament, her silver hair should ideally be changed to blonde hair. Finally, she should be a fairy with long, flowing hair, and her whole body should be shimmering with gold. Oh, and the wings of the swan martial spirit are also a great bonus, but one pair of wings is too few. It would be perfect if she had three pairs." Nan Feihuang described as he looked at Xue Qinghe.

"Huh? This image... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?" Xue Qinghe tilted her head and thought for a moment. It seemed familiar, but she couldn't quite place it. It seemed that she hadn't looked in the mirror like this in a long time.

"I've seen her before? That's wonderful! If Your Highness ever sees a girl like her again, please introduce her to me. I will definitely marry her and make her my imperial concubine," Nan Feihuang said with a smile.

He was, after all, the future king, and even though he had Xue Ke as his fiancée, it was alright for him to say such things in front of Xue Qinghe.

After all, which emperor throughout history didn't have three palaces and six courtyards?

Nan Tianchen, who only had one wife and two concubines, was already considered quite an anomaly.

As long as no one says they'll marry her to be queen, in everyone's mind, that position is destined for Xue Ke.

Xue Qinghe nodded. "Sure, if I see you again, I'll definitely introduce you."

She wasn't joking; if sacrificing a woman could win over the Kingdom of Gulei, she would be more than happy to do so.

"Alright, let's not talk about me anymore. Brother Xue, did you find anything interesting during your inspection of my Gulei Kingdom today?" Nan Feihuang actually knew what Xue Qinghe had been doing all day, and asked bluntly, "As your vassal state, our country could become a place for you to vigorously develop agriculture in the future."

"You guessed what I was going to do today?" Xue Qinghe frowned. This child, if it were just precocious, that would be fine, but to be able to guess what she was thinking was a bit too clever.

"Yes, didn't I say that I greatly admire His Highness the Crown Prince's wisdom? Since taking power, His Highness has vigorously developed the military, government, and people's livelihood, and loves the people like his own children. His wisdom has spread throughout the countries. If it were just wisdom, that would be fine, but His Highness the Crown Prince also seems to have issued decrees to restrain the nobles, but unfortunately, they were rejected by Emperor Xueye." Nan Feihuang laughed, "He wants to do things that can change the situation on the continent. I don't believe that His Highness doesn't have great ambitions."

Nan Feihuang quietly approached Xue Qinghe and asked, "Brother Xue, do you harbor ambitions to unify the world? Please tell me frankly!"

"Why do you think I have such thoughts?" Xue Qinghe asked in a deep voice.

Because you are from the Qian family of the Angel Clan, Nan Feihuang wanted to say this: As inheritors of the Angel God, the Angel Clan desperately needs the power of faith. The number of commoners always exceeds that of nobles and Soul Masters. That's why the Spirit Hall made the move to awaken the Martial Soul for all commoners for free. That's why Xue Qinghe thought of restraining the nobles. When she can openly and legitimately restore her identity one day, the people of the entire continent will believe in her. Isn't that all to win over people's hearts?

But now is not the time to expose her. What he needs to do now is to make Xue Qinghe believe that he is a friend who shares the same ideals as her.

"Because His Highness the Crown Prince is a man of great ambition. In the world today, the Heavenly Dou Star Luo is divided into North and South. Although no large-scale war has broken out for many years due to the intervention of the Spirit Hall, various small frictions continue in the border areas."

"This continent will one day be plunged back into the same endless war as before. At that time, under the heavens and on this earth, all living things will be subject to death. Therefore, those born here must fight, and only by unifying the world can we bring eternal peace to the Douluo Continent!"

Nan Feihuang's words resonated deeply with Xue Qinghe.

"So, being born here means being destined to fight?" Xue Qinghe murmured. Yes, isn't that so?

She never expected that the child in front of her would be her kindred spirit, sharing the exact same thoughts as her.

She came to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire for two purposes: first, to separate from Bibi Dong so as to avoid her and her mother getting tired of each other; and second, to take over the Heaven Dou Empire without bloodshed.

If the Spirit Hall were to engage in a direct war with the Heaven Dou Empire, even if the Spirit Hall were to win, there would inevitably be widespread suffering and endless slaughter. This is not in line with the style of the Angel Clan. Although they would eliminate threatening enemies for their own purposes, they would not indiscriminately kill innocent civilians who are powerless to even kill a chicken.

Xue Qinghe and Nan Feihuang chatted for two hours. Xue Qinghe was surprised to find that the two had the same idea about how to restrain the nobles and develop people's livelihood. They couldn't help but feel that they were kindred spirits.

"That's right, Feihuang, I have this idea. One day, I will unify the world! This has been my long-cherished wish for many years, but it is the first time that someone has seen through it at a glance. I am very happy to meet you today. I would like to invite you to join my side in the future and help me unify the world. Would you be willing?" Xue Qinghe's attitude towards Nan Feihuang changed a lot. Instead of calling him brother-in-law in a false sense of politeness, he called him by his name directly.

"Brother Xue, if that's the case, I, Nan Feihuang, am willing to do my utmost to help you in the future!" Nan Feihuang replied.

"Regardless of my identity, I must tell you first that my position as crown prince is not very secure, because many of my policies are not favored by the nobles. Sometimes, they even prefer to nominate my fourth brother, Xue Beng." Xue Qinghe probed. Her real intention was to ask if he would still be willing to help her if one day she was not the crown prince of Tiandou, but something else.
