Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 20 Qian Renxue and Hu Liena

Main Quest - Fourth Stage: Sowing Discord

Mission objective: Sow discord between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, causing them to turn against each other and become mortal enemies.

Task Reward: Final settlement bonus increased by 20%.

Su Cheng ultimately chose not to take the risk.

If the Spirit Hall were to further strengthen its power, the current favorable situation would inevitably spiral out of control.

If one is not capable enough, blind self-confidence may lead to failure.

After all, compared to those two overpowered individuals who could inherit divine positions, Su Cheng's actual combat strength was too weak.

After you and Bibi Dong reached a superficial agreement, you rarely interacted. Of course, the covert observation and probing didn't decrease, and you were well aware of this; it was an unspoken understanding between you. You understood that now wasn't the time to overturn the table.

From that day on, Qian Renxue began to learn from you. You arranged everything for her, from planning her cultivation schedule and providing the resources needed to improve her mental and spiritual power, to selecting books to broaden her knowledge and abilities.

As your relationship deepened, Qian Renxue had already told you about her relationship with Bibi Dong, and you became the only person she could confide her repressed emotions to.

For Qian Renxue, whose father is dead, whose mother dislikes her, and who has had no friends since childhood, you are perhaps more than just her teacher; you are a guiding light for her soul and a source of emotional support. But you know in your heart that the two of you will inevitably clash in the future, so you always restrain your feelings, trying to treat her as a tool in your hands.

[Your theory on the fourth spirit ring has also been published on the mainland. Qian Renxue tells you that in this theory published in the name of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dongfei not only made no mention of your contribution, but also, for reasons unknown, named this theory "The Core Competitiveness of the Fourth Spirit Ring."]

"Damn, this is ridiculous. Are you deliberately trying to disgust me? You're something else, Bibi Dong."

Although the fast-forwarded cutscenes were beyond Su Cheng's control, everything that happened in them was no different from his own experience, and a series of scenes were imprinted in his mind.

He didn't really care that his work was credited to the Spirit Hall; it was something he had promised Bibi Dong long ago. Perhaps it was also related to his background; apart from a limited number of people, Bibi Dong had never been particularly magnanimous.

But upon seeing the name of this theory, Su Cheng couldn't hold back any longer.

Everything that happens in a life simulation is determined by real-world factors such as environmental changes and character personalities.

Unless Su Cheng, as the core of the simulation, makes some crucial choice, the simulation will proceed according to the most probable scenario.

In other words, Bibi Dong's actions represent her true feelings and are the behavior she is most likely to do under the current circumstances.

Besides Qian Renxue, you sometimes teach at the Spirit Hall Academy, explaining basic theories about the human body and the use of spirit skills, among other things. The younger generation at the Spirit Hall Academy knows your true achievements and respects you greatly. Of course, in return for inviting you to teach, the Spirit Hall will provide you with many conveniences in various matters, such as capturing spirit beasts, gathering herbs, or assisting you in researching spirits.

[Thanks to this, you have made considerable progress in your research on martial souls, and have more ideas on how to solve the problem of your own martial soul's malignant mutation.]

During this time, Dugu Bo visited you in Wuhun City. His son, weakened by the venom of his family's inherited beast spirit, the Azure Scale Serpent, was nearing death, and he hoped you could heal him. With your current medical skills, treating this poison wouldn't be difficult, but you didn't completely cure Dugu Bo's son; instead, you temporarily suppressed the poison. You also told him that only a place where ice and fire coexisted, possessing both extreme cold and extreme heat, could cure him completely. At this time, although Dugu Bo had collected many herbs to save his son, he seemed to have yet to find the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. After receiving your information, he left again.

Three years have passed. Under your guidance, Qian Renxue has successfully cultivated her soul power to level 40, with a solid foundation and extremely profound spiritual power, making it more than capable of absorbing soul rings over ten thousand years old.

Coincidentally, during this same period, with the help of various spiritual medicines provided by the Spirit Hall, you also broke through to level 30 in spirit power, a speed that far exceeded your expectations.

The cutscene ended, and a familiar feeling washed over him. Su Cheng's mind trembled slightly as he returned to his physical body.

He was sitting behind his desk in his room, with a pretty blonde girl standing beside him.

Nourished by soul power, Qian Renxue is now like a tender willow branching out, exuding youthful energy and no longer showing any trace of her former immaturity.

It must be said that the Soul Masters of this world develop at a speed that is incomparable to ordinary people. She has just turned twelve this year, but she already looks like she is sixteen or seventeen years old.

Although the two had spent a long time together in the previous scenes and he had the corresponding memories, Su Cheng was still amazed when he saw them in reality.

Her slender figure was captivating, her fair face was adorned with loving eyes, and her voice, which had long since lost its childishness, was now parted slightly from her red lips.

"Teacher, I'm already level 40, how come you're only level 30?"

"Heh, what's there to be proud of? You'll see in two years," Su Cheng said casually, looking away.

"?" Qian Renxue was taken aback upon hearing this.

She was just joking when she said that; in reality, she knew all too well how terrible Su Cheng's talent was.

But judging from the teacher's tone, it seems he still has more to play.

"What's so great about reaching level 40 in three years? In another two years, I can get you to level 50."

"..."

Qian Renxue then realized that the sentence was about herself. She was speechless and a little smug. "Sigh, what would you do without me?"

"That's enough. It'll be the same no matter who teaches it."

"Tap, tap, tap."

Just then, someone knocked on his door.

"Come in, the door's open."

As the door opened, a black-haired girl walked into the room.

At first glance, the girl didn't seem particularly beautiful, but upon closer inspection, one could sense a unique charm about her. Her figure was also strikingly curvaceous, even surpassing that of Qian Renxue, who was three years older than her.

The person who came was Hu Liena, who is currently studying at the Spirit Hall Academy.

"Teacher, I'm here."

Although the girl was still young, her voice sounded slightly hoarse, which carried a special charm.

"Look, there are people here." Su Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly at Qian Renxue, who was standing to the side.

"Nana, you can't call him teacher. He's not your teacher. Your teacher is the Pope."

Qian Renxue went over to her, a sweet smile blooming on her face, and looked into Hu Liena's eyes as she spoke.
