"Elder Porcupine, you're in the Crown Prince's residence. If Xueye needs to summon me, please make an excuse for me. You can come up with any reason you like."

Qian Renxue gave the Porcupine Douluo some more instructions, and then went back to her room.

"Uh, what is Miss doing? This is really unusual."

"His Highness the Holy Son is coming to Tiandou City."

"Oh, no wonder."

The Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo tacitly carried out the tasks assigned by Qian Renxue.

Shortly after 2 p.m., Serpent Spear Douluo, following Qian Renxue's instructions, had been lying in ambush a few miles outside of Heaven Dou City since noon.

Before 3 p.m., Serpent Spear Douluo finally spotted a magnificent carriage on the road from Spirit City to Heaven Dou City. He then used his Title Douluo speed to quickly return to the city and report to Qian Renxue.

"Young Miss, His Highness the Holy Son and the others have arrived." Serpent Spear Douluo reported to Qian Renxue upon returning to the Crown Prince's residence.

"So fast, are you sure?" Qian Renxue asked.

“Young Miss, I’m sure, because Elder Ghost Leopard is sitting outside and can see it clearly.”

Although Serpent Spear Douluo had always followed Qian Renxue, he knew all the other elders of the Spirit Hall.

"Then let's go and welcome their arrival." Qian Renxue flashed a light and transformed from Xue Qinghe's appearance back into the real Qian Renxue woman form.

They then followed Serpent Spear Douluo to the road outside Heaven Dou City, where a small grove of trees was waiting for them.

A short while later, Qian Renxue saw the carriage that Duan Yufan was riding in. When it was about twenty or thirty meters away from her, Qian Renxue came to the middle of the road.

"Help! Someone is trying to rob me! They're killing me for my treasure! They're in the woods and they're chasing me out!"

Serpent Spear Douluo stared at Qian Renxue with a bewildered expression and a face full of black lines, shouting as if he were seeing her for the first time.

"Hoo."

"Uh, Master, don't stop, keep going. The one yelling outside is a crazy woman."

Duan Yufan said speechlessly to the coachman, knowing who was calling from outside based on the voice and the unusual movement from the Seraph Martial Soul.

Duan Yufan never expected Qian Renxue to do something so absurd.

"Hey, buddy inside, please help me! Let me sit down for a bit. A menacing-looking guy is chasing me out of the woods."

Qian Renxue's pitiful tone reached Duan Yufan's ears. Ghost Leopard Douluo had naturally met Princess Qian Renxue before, so he looked away, appearing as if it were none of his business.

As soon as Qian Renxue finished speaking, the Serpent Spear Douluo walked out of the grove with a dark expression on his face, but in the coachman's eyes, he looked fierce and menacing, as if he wanted to kill her to silence her.

"Halt! You audacious madman! Do you know who is sitting inside? Do you want to kill someone in front of the benevolent and virtuous Holy Son?" the coachman shouted at the Serpent Spear Douluo.

The Serpent Spear Douluo was taken aback and stopped walking, looking at Qian Renxue with an innocent, caught-in-the-blank gaze.

"Uh, Master, let's hurry up and leave, don't worry about them," Duan Yufan said quickly when he saw the driver stop.

“Holy Son, but…”

"This lady will be fine, trust me."

"Alright then." The coachman wanted to continue driving the carriage, but Qian Renxue held him down with one hand.

"Duan Yufan, what do you mean? You're going to deny it after reading it? Come out and fight me one-on-one."

Qian Renxue felt a little wronged. She had gone to great lengths to come out and greet him, even behaving as if she didn't recognize herself, yet he wanted to ignore her completely.

Duan Yufan felt a headache coming on. Before coming to Tiandou City, he had thought that he would face Qian Renxue again. He originally wanted to go to Xingluo City, but Hu Liena chose Xingluo City instead. Duan Yufan was a little afraid of this woman, who often did things that Duan Yufan could not predict.

"Alright, alright, come in!" Duan Yufan had no choice but to stick his head out and say helplessly to Qian Renxue, completely unexpected that Qian Renxue would be blocking the way.

Although Duan Yufan had seen Qian Renxue several times, he was still somewhat surprised at this moment, as she seemed even more beautiful.

Duan Yufan also noticed that Qian Renxue had put on a light makeup, and even her clothes had changed from the usual monotonous gold. The style of the clothes remained the same, but the color of the clothes had changed to a combination of light yellow and light pink, which was refreshing.

The already stunningly beautiful Qian Renxue now looks like a fairy from heaven.

"Hmm, that's more like it." Qian Renxue said with satisfaction when she saw Duan Yufan stick his head out, and then went into the carriage.

"Master, let's set off. We know each other," Duan Yufan said to the still bewildered coachman.

Upon hearing Duan Yufan's words, the driver slowly began to travel, and the journey was a little slower than before, perhaps because of the increased weight.

Although Qian Renxue was usually very outgoing and carefree, she didn't know what to say for a moment when she sat in front of Duan Yufan.

Duan Yufan didn't know how to bring it up with Qian Renxue, and he felt quite conflicted.

"you……"

After a moment of silence, Qian Renxue and Duan Yufan spoke at the same time, then gave an awkward smile.

"Why did you ambush me on the road? Did your grandfather write a letter in advance to tell you that I was coming to Tiandou City?" Duan Yufan spoke first this time.

Qian Renxue's early appearance on the road was something only Qian Daoliu would have told her.

"So, are you surprised or not? I've come to pick you up in person. Grandpa told me your purpose this time and asked me to assist you." Qian Renxue smiled slightly and readily admitted it.

"Hehe, I wasn't surprised, but it was definitely unexpected."

When Duan Yufan brought this up, he still couldn't understand why Qian Renxue, who was as proud as a phoenix, would do such a thing; it was completely out of character.

Chapter 127 Return to Heaven Dou City

Qian Renxue looked at Duan Yufan in front of her. He had invaded her heart like a demon. Including now, they had only met three times.

But even so, facing Duan Yufan repeatedly affected her mindset, and she involuntarily made actions that she herself could not predict or understand.

"How long will it take to get to Tiandou City this time?" Qian Renxue asked seriously, trying to hide her nervousness.

"That's uncertain. It could take anywhere from a few days to ten days or half a month, depending on the progress of the Heavenly Battle Temple's investigation." Duan Yu Fan didn't have a specific answer either.

"Well, but you might be disappointed. In all my years in Heaven Dou City, ever since you replaced Salas, the Spirit Temple has basically had no bad reputation." Qian Renxue told Duan Yufan what she knew so far.

"That's good, it shows that Bishop Skoda has been a good leader since taking office, but I still need to listen to more opinions from the people."

Although Duan Yufan had only met Bishop Skoda Platinum once, he had a pretty good impression of him. He was an upright, selfless person who could distinguish right from wrong. After the Salas incident, he used ruthless methods to try many of Salas's assistants.

"Actually, I hope you can stay in Tiandou City for a few more days and play there for a couple more days. That way, I can stay in this state for a few more days and spend more time with you," Qian Renxue said with some complicated feelings.

Duan Yufan stared blankly at Qian Renxue, sensing the loneliness in her heart. After all, she had been impersonating others since childhood, constantly scheming in the palace, and had no childhood friends. All she had were Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo, but some things she could only confide in her peers.

"Just stay like this and wander around Tiandou City with me. Aren't you afraid of exposing yourself?" Duan Yufan said after a short while in a daze.

"Who would have thought that a woman would impersonate a prince? They would only think of me as a member of the Spirit Hall." Qian Renxue thought to herself with a hint of smugness.

"What about the Crown Prince? Xue Qinghe can't just disappear for a few days without a reason," Duan Yufan asked, puzzled.

"Of course, I also prepared a substitute for Xue Qinghe, otherwise what would I do if I had to go out or return to the Spirit Hall?" Qian Renxue said with a light smile.

"Sigh, Xue Qinghe is so lucky. So many people go to great lengths to impersonate him," Duan Yufan sighed for Xue Qinghe.

"There's nothing to regret. The aristocratic circles of the empire are a complicated matter. When we get to Tiandou City, I'll take you somewhere. It'll be almost evening by then," Qian Renxue said with a sigh.

"Oh, where is it?" Duan Yufan asked curiously.

"You'll know when you get there; you can only truly understand by seeing it with your own eyes," Qian Renxue said, keeping it a secret for the time being.

"Your Highness, we have arrived at Tiandou City," the coachman said as he saw the city gates of Tiandou City not far away.

"Understood, let's go into town," Duan Yufan replied to the coachman.

When Ghost Leopard Douluo was checked by the soldiers of the Heaven Dou Army, he took out the Spirit Hall's token, and the soldiers immediately let him pass.

"Where will you stay after we enter the city, a hotel or the Spirit Hall?" Qian Renxue asked casually.

"Well, let's check into the hotel for now. This trip is a surprise inspection, so it's not advisable to go to the Martial Soul Temple right now," Duan Yufan replied to Qian Renxue's question.

“Then I’ll go to the hotel with you and stay there for now,” Qian Renxue suddenly said.

"No way, we're not at the point where we'd be living together yet," Duan Yufan said helplessly to the incredibly bold Qian Renxue.

"Hmph, what are you thinking? That night was just a momentary impulse after I was defeated by you. Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Qian Renxue said, both embarrassed and angry.

"Then why are you coming to the hotel with me?" Duan Yufan asked, puzzled.

"Have you forgotten what I look like now? Do you expect me to go into the Crown Prince's residence looking like this?" Qian Renxue explained.

"Haha, that's true." Duan Yufan said with an awkward smile.

"Wait a minute, you can switch back, then you can go back to the Crown Prince's residence." Duan Yufan said awkwardly, then realized what he meant.

"Oh, my Soul Bone Technique has a time limit; it takes several days before I can use it again," Qian Renxue explained vaguely.

Qian Renxue's appearance made Duan Yufan very suspicious. "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you? What would I gain from it?" Qian Renxue said somewhat loudly.

"Alright, alright," Duan Yufan said helplessly.

"Why are you so nervous? It's like you're being led into the lion's den. It makes me feel like I'm going to eat you up," Qian Renxue said angrily.

"Who knows? You're so fierce, what if you sneak in in the middle of the night? You're really unpredictable," Duan Yufan couldn't help but complain.

"Hey, what are you saying? In the end, I'm the one who suffers. Well, you've been completely taken advantage of by your senior sister, so do you think I'm going to sit around and fawn over you? Do I look like the kind of person who likes to suffer losses?"

Qian Renxue looked at Duan Yufan with great disdain and asked in return.

"That would be best. Don't disturb my sleep in the middle of the night, or I'll get angry."

Duan Yufan shrugged and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Guess!" Qian Renxue said playfully.

"Uh...you dare to try, I'll beat your ass to a pulp, hmph." Duan Yufan snorted and threatened.

"Really? Then I'll try it tonight," Qian Renxue said happily.

"Uh, go away..."

"whee……"

"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Tiandou Hotel," the driver said, stopping the vehicle.

Duan Yufan and Qian Renxue jumped down from the carriage. The area around the Tiandou Hotel was very clean, and there were two ladies at the hotel entrance welcoming people to enter. It was the largest hotel in Tiandou City.

"Thank you for your hard work. Here are 10 gold soul coins. Please keep them safe." Duan Yufan handed the driver his reward.

“Your Highness, it’s not that much. One gold soul coin is enough. Besides, Your Highness healed my wife. One gold soul coin is the most I can ask for. If it weren’t for needing to ask about the horse and check the wheels, I wouldn’t have taken a single penny,” the coachman quickly said.
