Qian Renxue then introduced herself to Duan Yufan.
"That's not bad, let's take a look around then," Duan Yufan replied.
Then Qian Renxue and Duan Yufan joined the crowd and began to stroll around.
Duan Yufan discovered that the pedestrian street was quite large, with one small shop after another, selling all sorts of different trinkets.
Qian Renxue chattered excitedly as she introduced the interesting and fun things to Duan Yufan, looking exceptionally happy.
Duan Yufan knew that Qian Renxue was so clear about this, and that she had probably come here alone. Duan Yufan thought that her state of mind then and now was probably different.
"How can I resolve the strained relationship between Qian Renxue and my teacher? It's really giving me a headache. Both my teacher and Qian Daoliu haven't been able to speak frankly with Qian Renxue." Duan Yufan thought to himself, looking at Qian Renxue, who was now acting like an innocent little girl.
"What are you thinking about? Keep up, don't miss it!" Qian Renxue said, turning around when she saw Duan Yufan stop.
"Oh, here it is. I'm a little dazzled by all this. What is this?" Duan Yufan explained to Qian Renxue, then pointed to an object and asked.
"This is……"
They strolled around the pedestrian street for several hours, asking and answering questions. Qian Renxue would ask the shopkeeper if she didn't know the answer.
They then arrived at a small park not far from the pedestrian street, where Duan Yufan and Qian Renxue sat on benches, each holding a bottle of juice and resting.
"I'm sorry, I said I'd take you shopping, but it turned out you were the one accompanying me. But I'm really happy today," Qian Renxue said somewhat shyly.
"It's nothing, I'm just very happy. I didn't know there were so many strange and wonderful things, and I also got to eat some delicious food that I can't get anywhere else," Duan Yufan said nonchalantly.
"Thank you so much. I've never been happier than I am now," Qian Renxue said gratefully.
"No need to thank me, it's nothing. If you really want to thank me, then give me a leg massage, it's sore and numb."
"How about I give you a massage when we get back? There are a lot of people here."
"Oh! Oh! She's shy. Our aloof and proud princess is actually shy," Duan Yufan teased.
"Hmph, what a joke. Who's shy? Go ahead and hit me. Come on, put your legs up here." Upon hearing Duan Yufan's teasing, Qian Renxue immediately patted her long, slender legs and retorted.
"Haha, never mind, you look so troubled." Duan Yufan stopped teasing Qian Renxue.
"Hmph, you're just scared."
"Yes, I'm scared. I'm afraid my senior sister will beat me."
"you..."
While the two were resting and joking, Duan Yufan and Qian Renxue were attracted by a sound coming from the side.
"Fourth Prince, I've already told you not to call me Yan'er, please call me by my full name, Dugu Yan."
"Yan'er, I really like you. Haven't you seen my feelings in the past two years?"
Upon hearing the sound, Duan Yufan and Qian Renxue looked to their left and saw Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of Dugu Bo whom Duan Yufan had met before, and Xue Beng, the fourth prince of the Tiandou Empire whom they had met just last night.
At this time, Dugu Yan was already over 1.7 meters tall, wearing a cool dark green short skirt, her hair had turned light purple, and she wore light makeup, with dark purple eye makeup and lips. It was unclear whether this was due to her more advanced poison skills or because she was wearing makeup.
A girl stood quietly beside Dugu Yan, wearing a simple white jumpsuit that reached her feet, with long, straight black hair and a very thin silk veil.
Dugu Yan frowned impatiently and spoke coldly to the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng.
“I’ve said before that I’m only interested in handsome and powerful Soul Masters. You’re a prince who doesn’t cultivate all day, you’re older than me, and you’re only at the Soul Venerable level. Besides, you know your own character. I don’t need to say more, do I? I will never like someone like you.”
Xue Beng completely ignored Dugu Yan's mockery and looked at her with deep affection, saying, "Yan'er, for you, I've been slowly changing. Look, I've leveled up once a year, and now I'm a level 35 Soul Master."
"Heh, to be honest, I have someone I like. He's more handsome than you, more talented than you, and younger than you too," Dugu Yan continued with her sarcastic remarks.
"Don't lie to me. I know you, Yan'er. You've always played with Ye Lengleng in the academy and have never been alone with any strange boys."
Duan Yufan really put in a lot of effort to watch the avalanche; his acting was superb, like a devoted sycophant. He didn't change his expression at all when Dugu Yan mocked him, still acting like a lovelorn scholar.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me, and he happens to be in this park too." Dugu Yan said with some surprise, then pulled the girl next to her over to Duan Yufan.
"Haha, Yan'er, you're lying to me again. Do you think I'll believe you?" Xue Beng said, then followed Dugu Yan over.
Dugu Yan ignored the avalanche and quickly pulled the girl next to her to Duan Yufan's side.
"Brother Xiaofan, you've come! I dreamt last night that you would come here, I never thought you would actually be here."
Dugu Yan let go of the girl's hand, sat down next to Duan Yufan, and hugged Duan Yufan's arm intimately. While following Xue Beng and speaking dismissively, Dugu Yan casually looked around and unexpectedly saw the person she had been thinking about day and night.
The girl who had been released by Dugu Yan was looking at him in surprise, her mouth slightly open. Although she couldn't see, her eyes revealed her astonishment. She was surprised that Dugu Yan would make such an intimate gesture towards a strange man. However, as Dugu Yan's friend of many years, she was certain that she had never seen this man before. She guessed that he had just randomly picked someone to provoke Xue Beng.
Qian Renxue was also very surprised, and then jealous. She had never hugged Duan Yufan so intimately before, but she knew that this girl she had never met knew Duan Yufan because she had mentioned Duan Yufan's nickname.
"Dugu Yan, alright, let go. I'll deal with him for you," Duan Yufan said helplessly, knowing that Dugu Yan was using him as a shield, but he didn't care.
After hearing Duan Yufan's words, Dugu Yan had no choice but to relax. Naturally, she also saw the stunningly beautiful woman sitting on the other side. Dugu Yan, who was very confident in her own beauty, felt ashamed of herself when facing Qian Renxue.
After Duan Yufan finished speaking, Xue Beng hurriedly came to the group. Duan Yufan and Qian Renxue looked at Xue Beng and thought of what they had heard last night.
"Fourth Prince, I told you I had someone I liked. Isn't she more handsome and younger than you?" Dugu Yan saw Xue Beng coming up to her and took the opportunity to hug Duan Yufan, her proud breasts bumping into Duan Yufan's arm.
Duan Yufan really wanted to say to Dugu Yan, "You're taking advantage of me..."
The avalanche didn't look at Dugu Yan immediately, but at Qian Renxue, murmuring, "So beautiful!"
Hearing Dugu Yan's words, he immediately came to his senses. Although he reacted quickly, those present were no ordinary people, and they naturally heard the soft sound of the avalanche.
"Yan'er, stop fooling around. Can't you see he has a girlfriend? If you're going to just give me anyone, at least give me a single man." Xue Beng remained unmoved.
“Why would I lie to you? I’ve known him since I was 12. Even my grandfather knows him. His name is Duan Yufan. Now you can leave, right?” Dugu Yan said gently as she stood up to introduce Duan Yufan to Xue Beng.
"Damn it, what this bitch said doesn't seem to be false. Could she really be the one I love? No, I have to snatch her away." Xue Beng's fake smile turned serious as he thought to himself.
"Yan'er, I never thought you would like to be someone's concubine. It hurts me so much, but I will not give up. I love you to the core."
"Brother, a woman like Yan'er is not someone you can have. Do you know who I am? I am a prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire. I hope you know better than to leave and cause trouble for yourself and your family."
Xue Beng still looked infatuated and determined when facing Dugu Yan, but he made threatening remarks to Duan Yufan.
"avalanche..."
Dugu Yan was about to say something when Duan Yufan interrupted her.
"What if I say no? What if you try to harm me when Dugu Yan isn't around? And what about my family? So you're threatening me, aren't you?" Duan Yufan stood up and said calmly to Xue Beng.
"I didn't say anything, I just wanted to remind you to be careful in the days to come, and it's best not to go out. Find yourself a safe place in advance," Xue Beng said with a smile, acting like he was talking to a good friend. Unfortunately, he picked the wrong person.
"Oh well, so what if he's a prince? He brought this on himself." Dugu Yan thought helplessly, already imagining Xue Beng being taught a lesson by Duan Yufan.
"Xiao Fan wouldn't use this as an excuse to get rid of Xue Beng, would he? But aren't we Xiao Fan's family?" Qian Renxue thought to herself as she looked at the calm Duan Yufan.
"Oh, thank you for reminding me. I just don't know if your imperial mausoleum has a feng shui treasure land for you." Duan Yufan said to Xue Beng with a calm face that revealed no emotion.
"Can I take this as you threatening a royal prince? What family are you from?" Xue Beng still believed that Duan Yufan was from a family within the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Avalanche, stop pretending. I heard what you and your uncle said in the brothel last night. It must have been hard for you, being forced by your brother Xue Qinghe to pretend to be a playboy and a dissolute young master all day long. Besides, did I ever say that I was a person of the Heavenly Dou Empire?"
Duan Yufan casually raised one hand, and Xue Beng's pupils contracted.
"You..." Avalanche tried to scream in terror, but found that he could not make a sound. He only felt that his whole body was being grabbed by a huge force.
"Hand of Temptation." Duan Yufan said as he unleashed Hand of Temptation, one of the Titan Giant Ape's soul bone skills.
Therefore, Avalanche, a level 35 Soul Master, immediately felt suffocated because his entire body was grabbed by a huge claw formed from dark purple soul power.
"And I was just looking for a reason to make a move, but I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my doorstep." Looking at Avalanche, whose veins were bulging and whose body was flushed purple, Duan Yufan continued.
"You audacious commoners, stop!" Prince Xuexing sent men to secretly follow the two avalanches, and they finally discovered the abnormality of the avalanches' body arching backward as they suffocated.
"Hmph," Duan Yufan didn't wait any longer. With a slight exertion, he killed Xue Beng. Duan Yufan crushed Xue Beng to death like an ant.
"You, possessed by a martial spirit, pfft... what?" Upon seeing this, the two immediately prepared to summon their martial spirits.
"Hmph." Duan Yufan unleashed a tremendous aura, abruptly interrupting their next move, ending it before it even began.
Under Duan Yufan's cold gaze, the two picked up the already dead Xue Beng and fled the place.
“Holy Son, you…” Dugu Yan said, surprised that he had killed Xue Beng directly.
"You guys go back first, I still have things to do." Duan Yufan said to Dugu Yan with a smile, making the girl next to him think that Duan Yufan was a completely different person.
"But Holy Son, how can I leave now that you've stood up for me like this? They'll definitely call in experts, and that's a prince!" Dugu Yan said hurriedly.
"No, it's a complicated matter, and it's not just about you. So you and your friend should leave first, or perhaps my words don't carry any weight," Duan Yufan explained, then spoke as if giving an order.
"Alright, Holy Son, be careful. You killed Xue Beng, his uncle will definitely come back, and Grandpa will definitely help you then." Dugu Yan no longer insisted on staying, after all, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo was by Prince Xue Xing's side.
"Okay, let's go back." Duan Yufan said, watching Dugu Yan leave.
“Actually, you didn’t need to do this. You could have kept him around a little longer,” Qian Renxue said, as if she knew what Duan Yufan was thinking.
“Since you’re not comfortable taking action, then I will. Since we’re enemies, why drag things out? Besides, I’m the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. They won’t suspect that it was your status as the Crown Prince that led someone to assassinate Xue Beng. And now I have a reason, don’t I?” Duan Yu Fan said, squinting at the direction the two had fled.
After witnessing the avalanche yesterday, Duan Yufan wanted to find a reason to help Qian Renxue resolve the avalanche issue. Coincidentally, he encountered it today and was even threatened, so he had no choice but to accept it without hesitation.
Chapter 130 I am the Outer Heaven
At Duan Yufan's urging, Dugu Yan, along with her friend, slowed down on the way back to Tiandou Academy.
"Xiao Yan, you call him the Holy Son, is he the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall? How do you know him, especially since you were only 12 years old?" Dugu Yan's friend asked, puzzled.
In her memory, Dugu Yan spent most of her time in the academy and rarely went out. Even when she did go out, it was only to stay near Tiandou City.
"Lingling, I met him in Sunset Forest. He helped me a lot and cured my and my grandfather's martial soul snake venom," Dugu Yan said with some reminiscence.
"I see. So you and your grandfather have already joined the Spirit Hall," Lingling said.
"Okay, Lingling, don't tell anyone," Dugu Yan instructed Lingling.
"Don't worry, I'm not that unknown to you. I'm a famous mute in the academy, and I also heard my grandfather mention this Holy Son of the Spirit Hall a few years ago. However, my grandfather only told me how amazing this Holy Son's spirit assists in healing. But today, when I saw him, he actually defeated the two Soul Kings following Avalanche with just his aura." Lingling said with some surprise.
Lingling, whose full name is Ye Lingling, is the granddaughter of Ye Tianxin, who treated the villagers in Wuhun City. Apart from Ye Tianxin, Ye Lingling is the second person on the entire continent to possess the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul. She only has one Martial Soul Auxiliary Soul Skill, which is a wide-range healing skill for all enemies. The more Soul Rings she obtains, the stronger the healing becomes.
It is an extremely rare martial soul, as if it were cursed. Only two people on the entire continent can possess the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul. Only when one of them dies will the next one appear.
"Lingling, you know about the Holy Son?" Dugu Yan asked in surprise, not expecting Ye Lingling to have heard of him.
"Yeah, I've heard of him but never seen him. A few years ago, my grandpa went to Wuhun City to help out, and when he came back, he told me about him. He said that he was already level 30 or so back then, and he kept praising him. I've heard it so many times." Ye Lingling couldn't help but pick her ear and said.
"Alright, we're at the academy now, let's not talk about him anymore, sigh." Dugu Yan sighed.
"Xiao Yan, you don't like him, do you?" Ye Lingling heard Dugu Yan sigh and, realizing something, quickly asked.
“Your Highness is too outstanding. I am not good enough for him, and he already has such a beautiful woman by his side,” Dugu Yan said helplessly.
