Douluo: Unparalleled General, Starting by Deceptive Thousand-Snow-Peak 137

Chapter 137: A Second Confession, A Free Gift to a Little Angel

“Why the need for reciprocation? Feihuang, it’s I who am repaying you now. Have you forgotten? In the Star Dou Forest, I was severely injured. If you hadn’t desperately saved me, I would have already perished. Compared to the life-saving grace, hunting a Soul Beast for you in the future is nothing worthy of your repayment. Or are you being distant with me?” Qian Renxue was slightly unhappy.

Nan Feihuang seemed unwilling to owe anyone a favor, wanting to keep everything clearly defined with her.

“Sister Xue, that’s not what I meant. In the Star Dou Forest, we supported each other. When facing the Holy Spirit Beast, if it weren’t for your Soul Emperor-level soul power, I couldn’t have won alone. Besides, haven’t you already given me its soul bone as repayment?” Nan Feihuang took out a snow-white skull, a twenty-thousand-year Holy Spirit Beast skull, a top-grade item. Unfortunately, Nan Feihuang didn’t seem to have anyone around him who was particularly suitable to absorb this soul bone.

“You haven’t absorbed this soul bone, and you’ve kept it with you all this time?” Qian Renxue looked at the item in Nan Feihuang’s hand in surprise, somewhat puzzled. Why wouldn’t he absorb such a good soul bone?

However, she quickly understood. It must be because he couldn’t bear to part with it; after all, it was the first gift she had ever given him.

She summoned her six soul rings, the pitch-black sixth soul ring – also the first gift Nan Feihuang had given her.

“Actually, you don’t need to be so formal. Soul bones only have meaning when used. I understand your intentions,” Qian Renxue smiled.

Nan Feihuang froze. He felt this girl’s thoughts seemed to be going astray. His reason for not absorbing the soul bone was simple: he considered its years too low. Where did this girl’s mind wander off to?

Perhaps for ordinary people, a twenty-thousand-year skull is a priceless treasure, but Nan Feihuang knew of many ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts. Why would he waste a crucial skull bone slot absorbing a twenty-thousand-year one?

“Um, as long as it’s a gift from Sister Xue, I will cherish it.” Of course, Nan Feihuang couldn’t tell the truth, so he followed Qian Renxue’s misunderstanding.

Qian Renxue smiled slightly. “Thank you for cherishing it, Feihuang. Do you know, from the past until now, besides my grandfather, only power and strength mattered to me. After knowing you, it seems there’s something more. Perhaps in the future, when I achieve my dreams, we…”

“We what?” Nan Feihuang subconsciously asked.

However, at this moment, Qian Renxue stopped. “What? Think about it yourself. After all, you are the man.”

Hearing this, Nan Feihuang thought for a moment and said frankly, “Sister Xue, I… I think I like you!”

“Think?” Hearing these two words, Qian Renxue was dissatisfied. Nan Feihuang liked her; she had known this for a long time.

After all, he had confessed his feelings directly under “unaware” circumstances, with Xue Qinghe as the recipient.

That confession had been deeply moving, but now, facing her true appearance, he only dared to say “think.” Truly, he was still a shy child, unable to boldly express his entire heart to his beloved.

Unbeknownst to Qian Renxue, this was actually Nan Feihuang’s first true confession to her. The previous ones were all bluffs. This “think,” however, was Nan Feihuang’s genuine feeling.

“Your confession is too hasty. There’s no atmosphere or sense of ceremony at all,” Qian Renxue expressed her dissatisfaction.

“Isn’t life just hasty? Where is there room for ceremony, Sister Xue? A person’s life is short. Though legends speak of immortal gods, they are too far beyond reach. Even exceptionally talented individuals, Title Douluo is often their limit, enjoying a lifespan of only a few hundred years.”

“Within those hundreds of years, ten years are spent in ignorance, ten years in old age and frailty, half spent resting, and half a lifetime in arduous cultivation. The time truly left for free disposal is actually not much. If Sister Xue and I are destined to be together, I don’t want to waste this precious time. Expressing my feelings early means I can spend one more day with my beloved.” Nan Feihuang said.

Qian Renxue’s heart throbbed.

It was the same confession, but the words Nan Feihuang spoke to Xue Qinghe in the East Palace had made her feel happy and anxious. Today, however, there was nothing but joy.

“Fei… Feihuang, actually, you don’t need to worry so much. I… with our potential, Title Douluo isn’t our limit. So we should work harder on our cultivation now. As for the future… we’ll talk about it later.” Qian Renxue stammered, feeling heat rising to her face. Her two yellow, two purple, and two black soul rings seemed about to turn into ten-thousand-year soul rings along with her blushing face.

Unwilling to let Nan Feihuang see her so embarrassed, Qian Renxue turned into a beam of light and left.

Nan Feihuang walked to the window, watching her departing figure, suddenly shuddered.

“Wait, wait, wait, what did I just do? I’m doomed!”

He finally came to his senses. Had he just unconsciously confessed to Qian Renxue?

He rushed out of the room and kicked open Xun Yu’s door. Xun Yu was reading; seeing Nan Feihuang’s hurried state, he felt strange. “My Lord, what’s wrong?”

“Wen Ru, I’m doomed, I’m really doomed this time!”

Similar to Nan Feihuang, Qian Renxue was also in a daze. She didn’t return to the palace, but came to the middle of the Tian Dou Mountain, gazing at the scenery below.

“Young Master, what’s wrong? Did Feihuang not like the gift you gave him?” She Long Douluo and Ci Tun Douluo stood behind her, providing protection, puzzled.

Qian Renxue shook her head. “No, he liked it. He even confessed to me, and I rejected him.”

She Long was puzzled. “What’s wrong with that? It’s not the first time. Don’t you already know he likes you?”

“This time is different. He expressed himself more deeply than before. Uncle She, do you think it’s not good for me to exploit his feelings, to let him give himself freely?” Qian Renxue suddenly felt a little guilty about deceiving and exploiting his genuine feelings.

She Long’s mouth twitched. He had something to say, but he didn’t know whether he should say it or not.

For some reason, when Qian Renxue said “give himself freely,” he felt it lacked conviction.

It felt like the one giving himself freely was someone else.

Unfortunately, She Long didn’t dare speak frankly and instead said, “How could that be? It’s his honor to give everything to you, Young Master.”

Qian Renxue nodded firmly. “Uncle She is right. It’s his honor to give everything for me. If he performs well, in the future I might pull him up, help him become a god, even bestow him with an offspring carrying angelic bloodline as a reward. It’s not impossible.”

She Long was completely dumbfounded. What did she mean by bestowing an offspring carrying angelic bloodline as a reward? She phrased giving himself freely so elegantly. It’s truly worthy of the young master of the Supply Hall.
