Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

“Twin Martial Souls.” Eva uttered these four words lightly.

Qian Renxue's pupils suddenly contracted.

Twin Martial Souls!

In the entire history of Douluo Continent, twin martial souls have only appeared three times.

The only one among them who successfully cultivated to the peak was her mother, Bibi Dong, who is now the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

“This… how is this possible?” Qian Renxue’s voice trembled slightly. “She clearly didn’t awaken as a Snow-capped Swan.”

Eva chuckled softly and clapped her hands.

"Bai Xue, come here, let His Highness the Crown Prince see your other martial soul."

Snow White walked out slowly, calmly extending her left hand.

In her left hand, a familiar martial spirit appeared, with six golden wings, holy light, and a beautiful face...

Qian Renxue's heart almost stopped beating at that moment!

Six-winged angel...

It was a six-winged angel!

Her blood seemed to freeze, and her mind went completely blank.

Snow White... really was her child!

Eva wasn't lying to her!

Qian Renxue's hands trembled uncontrollably as an unprecedented wave of regret and guilt surged into her heart.

She was wrong, terribly wrong!

"Your Highness?" Eva's voice brought her back to reality. "What's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her surging emotions, and managed a smile: "No, nothing, I'm just too shocked."

Eva looked at her with a half-smile: "Yes, twin martial souls, that's quite unexpected."

Qian Renxue understood the deeper meaning in her words, and her heart clenched again.

Eva knows!

Does she even know what the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul means?

But why didn't she say it all this time, waiting until now...?

What is she waiting for?

Qian Renxue's fingers dug deeply into her palms; the pain kept her awake. She had to confirm whether Eva knew.

"Eva, do you know what kind of martial soul this is?" Qian Renxue looked at Eva with sharp eyes, her voice tense.

Eva raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, her red lips curving into a meaningful arc, and her eyes, which seemed to see through people's hearts, looked at Qian Renxue with a playful smile.

"Your Highness, what do you think?" she casually tossed the question back.

Qian Renxue's heart tightened, but she tried her best to remain calm, even forcing a slightly embarrassed smile: "What is it? Qinghe is ignorant, please tell me, Eva."

"Oh."

Eva chuckled softly, the sound particularly clear in the quiet bedchamber. She stepped forward slowly, standing almost touching Qian Renxue, her breath sweet and her voice extremely low.

"Isn't this... the six-winged angel from the Spirit Hall?"

Qian Renxue's eyes widened instantly. She hadn't expected Eva to know. She knew everything.

In that instant, a murderous intent towards Eva surged within Qian Renxue's heart.

Silencing them! They must be silenced immediately!

That was the only thought that flashed through her mind: only the dead can keep secrets forever.

However, out of the corner of her eye, Qian Renxue caught a glimpse of Snow White standing quietly beside her.

The child's pure and innocent eyes, filled with curiosity and bewilderment, were looking at them.

That single glance instantly extinguished Qian Renxue's murderous intent.

No! The child is still here!

Moreover, Eva must have something to rely on for daring to lay her cards on the table so openly.

Qian Renxue suppressed the murderous intent surging in her heart, but her eyes were as cold as ice.

At the same time, another thought came to her mind.

It would be better to imprison Eva until she has complete control of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Eva seemed to see right through her thoughts, and the playful smile on her lips deepened.

Instead of backing away, she took another half step closer, almost breathing in Qian Renxue's ear, and asked in a whisper that only the two of them could hear, with a hint of provocation, "Now, should I address you as Your Highness Xue Qinghe, or... the Young Master of the Spirit Hall?"

With her identity completely exposed, Qian Renxue's body stiffened once again.

But this time, she surprisingly relaxed.

Like a bow that's been stretched too tight, the string suddenly snaps, the tension disappears, leaving only a sense of resigned calm.

Since the opponent has already revealed their hand, pretending any further would only seem ridiculous.

Eva's audacity in revealing her hand so openly, even exposing her identity, must mean she possesses leverage that makes Eva hesitant to act or willing to make a deal.

Negotiation, or rather, a deal, was Eva's true objective.

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, her tense shoulders slowly relaxed, and her face regained its composure.

She looked at Eva and asked, "Now that Madam knows everything, there's no need to beat around the bush. What do you want to do? Or rather, what do you want?"

Qian Renxue went straight to the heart of the matter.

A hint of approval flashed in Eva's eyes; she was pleased that Qian Renxue had gotten the hang of it.

Eva stepped back half a step and gracefully straightened her non-existent clothes.

"I want power, supreme power! I want to be the one and only supreme queen of this Douluo Continent! Can you give it to me, Your Holiness the future Pope?"

"queen?"

A strange light flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes.

This answer was both unexpected and reasonable.

Eva's ambition has never been hidden, but what she seeks is such a special position—not the Empress of the Heavenly Dou Empire, but the Queen of the entire continent.

Qian Renxue did not answer immediately, but instead gave Eva a deep look, then glanced at the somewhat bewildered Snow White beside her, before finally letting her gaze fall back on Eva's stunningly beautiful yet calculating face.

She could certainly give power, or rather, promise it.

As the successor of the angelic lineage and the future Pope, her grand ambition of unifying the continent requires countless pawns and collaborators.

Chapter 45 Hope for Revenge

"Power is a fascinating thing. And what the lady desires is no small matter."

Qian Renxue chuckled softly, her smile carrying the composure of someone in a superior position and an understanding of ambition.

Eva received the response she wanted, and her smile became even brighter and more captivating: "Then, Your Highness, it seems we can have a proper talk."

……

As night deepened, Qian Renxue left the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace once again.

She and Eva had already finalized all their deals: Eva would help her better control the Heavenly Dou Empire, and she would promise Eva future power and resources.

Now, Qian Renxue is pondering when to return to the Spirit Hall.

For the sake of her daughter Snow White, she must return to the Spirit Hall as soon as possible.

She needs to see her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, tell him about this, and then ask him about the cultivation method of twin martial souls.

She still needs to face Bibi Dong!

Even if she was unwilling to admit it, the only person on the entire continent who had successfully cultivated twin martial souls was her mother, Bibi Dong.

For Snow White's sake, Qian Renxue had no other choice.

……

Holy Soul Village.

Looking at the Martial Soul Certificate in his hand, Old Jack felt both happy and worried.

The reason for the joy is that after many years, two children in Holy Soul Village have awakened their soul power again. Moreover, both of them have full innate soul power, which means that as long as one absorbs a soul ring, one can become a soul master. This means that the village can suddenly have two more soul masters.

This is fantastic news!

However, there was only one work-study spot available in Holy Soul Village, and the two children who had awakened their soul power were from the same family, specifically the family of Tang Hao, the village's most notorious lazybones.

Tang Hao is young, strong, and skilled, but he is lazy and loves to eat and drink all day.

This gave old Jack a real headache. Both of his children were good children, and he felt a pang of heartache if he had to give up on either of them.

Cindy's Crystal Dancing Shoes Martial Soul is innately full of soul power, with enormous potential.

Although Xiao San's Blue Silver Grass is a useless martial soul, it still has innate full soul power.

Old Jack squatted under the old locust tree at the village entrance for a long time, smoking one pipe of tobacco after another, before finally standing up abruptly and stomping his numb feet.

"No! We can't let the child's education be delayed like this. I'll go to the neighboring villages and ask if they have any extra work-study student slots this year."

Clinging to his last glimmer of hope, old Jack hurried toward the neighboring village.

……

Inside the blacksmith's shop.

Tang San and Cinderella stood side by side in front of Tang Hao, showing him their awakened martial souls.

Tang San opened his palm, and a slender blue grass quietly appeared, emitting a faint breath of life.

"Dad, my sister and I have both awakened our soul power; it's innate full soul power."

Tang San's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible expectation. Despite his long-standing disappointment in this father, Tang San, who was having family for the first time, still longed for the approval of his closest relatives.
