In Douluo Continent, there is a proper way to die.

Chapter 60 The Dead Resurrected!

"Ugh..." As her consciousness gradually returned and she regained control of her body, Qian Renxue was momentarily dazed, but then she woke up instantly, sitting up in a start from her dying dream and getting up from the soft bed.

The view was dim, with no lighting tools. She seemed to be in a large tent, covered with a thin blanket, the warmth of which made her feel comfortable.

But Qian Renxue's first reaction was not warmth, but panic. She immediately lifted the blanket and saw that her clothes were still neatly dressed and had not been touched. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and break out in a cold sweat.

"Hmm?" The large tent beside them was suddenly opened slightly, and someone seemed to have walked in, making a questioning sound. It seemed to be a girl, her voice was not loud, and she sounded rather young.

With a wary mind, Qian Renxue suddenly sprang up, four soul rings—two yellow and two purple—emerging and rising behind her. A pair of pure white wings unfurled behind her, and she rose from the bed at lightning speed, rushing to the front of the newcomer. A golden light appeared on her right hand, forming a palm-blade shape and resting against the newcomer's neck.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and Qian Renxue, who was on high alert, only then came to her senses and noticed the appearance of the person who entered the tent.

It was a silver-haired girl with two small buns, who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old. She was about 1.5 meters tall and had a petite figure, but her body was developed in an exaggerated way. She was wearing a white suspender dress, white pantyhose on her legs, and transparent strappy short-heeled sandals on her two fair feet. She seemed to be stunned and stood there frozen in place.

Qian Renxue was also dumbfounded. She had imagined what the people who happened to find her would look like, but this little girl was definitely not one of them. She was stuck, unsure whether to swing her right palm or pull it back. She was completely frozen in place.

However, no matter what, she infiltrated the Heaven Dou royal family at the age of 9, and 7 years have passed since then. She even personally eliminated the other two princes who were competing for the Heaven Dou throne. Therefore, although she was very surprised at first, she quickly adjusted her mindset and came back to her senses.

She needed to determine whether the people who saved her knew her identity or had any ulterior motives towards her.

There was a commotion outside, as if the people outside had heard the noise inside. The tent was lifted again and someone else came in. Qian Renxue reacted instinctively and grabbed the silver-haired loli in her arms.

This time, a girl who looked even younger walked in, about eight or nine years old, about 1.45 meters tall. She was wearing a black crop top, blue denim shorts, black stockings over her shapely thighs, and ankle boots. She also wore a gray jacket over her clothes. Her long black hair with blue-green streaks was tied into a single ponytail, swinging back and forth behind her head. She exuded youthful energy and was lively and cute.

"What's wrong?" The girl's voice was even more childish, full of surprise. As soon as she entered the tent, she looked up and met Qian Renxue's gaze, who was holding the silver-haired loli hostage.

Even Qian Renxue, who was also a woman, couldn't help but admire the child's perfect figure, the beautiful abs showing on her exposed abdomen, and her exquisitely sculpted face. She was undoubtedly a beauty in the making, and given time, she would surely grow into a stunning beauty.

The scene was indeed a bit strange, causing both sides to stop thinking and freeze in place.

"Hey kid, the child's awake!" The silver-haired loli seemed a bit naive, pointing at Qian Renxue, who was holding her hostage.

"No, what are you doing?" The girl finally realized what was happening, and an angry expression appeared on her pretty face. She pointed at Qian Renxue and said, "We were kind enough to pick you up, but if it weren't for us, you would have been eaten by some kind of soul beast long ago. How can you treat your savior like this?"

"Sorry, it was a reflex, please understand." Although Qian Renxue said this, she did not intend to let go of the silver-haired loli in her arms. She was very insecure right now, and she would never let down her guard until she was sure that she was really safe, even if it might cause misunderstandings or offend her savior.

Once she was certain that the people who saved her had simply happened to encounter her unconscious state and offered them a helping hand, she could use her connections with the Spirit Hall to provide them with generous compensation and rewards after leaving the Star Dou Great Forest. In any case, she would most likely never encounter them again in her lifetime, so it didn't matter whether she offended them or not. Her own safety was the most important thing, that was what she thought in her heart.

As I said before, this is a world where extraordinary powers exist, and the survival of the fittest is the essence of the extraordinary. Relying on morality is a ridiculous thing; it's a luxury only the strong have, especially in this dangerous Star Dou Great Forest. Who knows if these people saved her life because they had ulterior motives? Where did all those young and beautiful slaves at the auction come from? She was just trying to ensure her own safety, and there's nothing wrong with that.

This child is indeed quite beautiful. If we've really misunderstood these people, we should tell them to compensate us with more things. Considering she's not very old, we should give her more cultivation resources.

Fun fact: This guy is also a sucker for good looks.

As Qian Renxue thought this, she said, "I hope to speak with your leader."

"It's just me and my mom here. We're here to get a spirit ring. We found you on the way. If you want someone to talk to, I am." The girl rolled her eyes at Qian Renxue, then gave the silver-haired loli a look.

To Qian Renxue's astonishment, the silver-haired loli in her arms trembled with soul power and easily pushed her away. Then, with a wave of her hand, the "tent" used for living in the tent cracked open from the top and then shrank slowly as if it had "shrunk." Bright sunlight reappeared in her field of vision, shining on her and casting her shadow.

Only then did she realize that the "big tent" she had been in, the warm "quilt" she had been covered in, and the soft "bed" were all made of "blue silver grass"!

After the "big tent" dispersed, Qian Renxue noticed that there was really no one else around, only the three people present. The silver-haired loli also ran up behind the black-haired girl.

"I'm the one in charge," the girl repeated. "It's just me and my mom here. What do you want to talk about?"

After posting this chapter, I noticed that many people had opinions about Qian Renxue's performance. Different people have different understandings, and I just wanted to express my own perspective.

The latest novel is first published here!

Firstly, Qian Renxue's morality is indeed lower than Qian Daoliu's. This is because Qian Daoliu's unparalleled strength guarantees his morality, allowing him to uphold it. However, Qian Renxue is rather peculiar; she has wasted her talent, resulting in her inability to maintain her morality. In this worldview, if you lack strength but still uphold morality, you will only be devoured (although in reality, even those with the ability to uphold morality can be devoured, alas).

Then there's Ning Fengzhi, the God of Wealth, whose actions truly provided Tang Buddha with a lot of assistance.

Qian Renxue's time as "Xue Qinghe" far exceeded her time as "Qian Renxue." She was Xue Qinghe for a full twenty years. In the eyes of outsiders, the Heaven Dou royal family was simply lacking in cultivation talent, in a sense similar to the direct descendants of Qibao—unable to attain a title. Ning Fengzhi, as a nobody, chose to "play both sides," seizing every opportunity and acting opportunistically. Similarly, he passed on this profit-driven business style to his only direct disciple, Xue Qinghe, who shared his plight.

Don't underestimate Qi Bao; his position is awkward—not the best, not the worst. Among the top-tier forces in Douyi, he's practically the weakling.

So you see, in the original novel, Qian Renxue's style of doing things is such that although she could have used benevolent methods, she actually acted in a very petty and stingy way.

Moreover, the original work clearly states that Qian Renxue genuinely regarded him as a teacher, but before she could even win over Bibi Dong's side, she went mad and attacked Qibao, resulting in a life-or-death struggle.
