Douluo: Unparalleled General, Starting by Deceptive Thousand-Snow-Peak 79

Chapter 79: Ominous Sign – Qian Renxue’s Misunderstanding

Both parties sat opposite each other in the private room. Lan Xue suddenly looked at Qian Renxue and said, “Your Excellencies, wouldn’t you introduce me? May I ask who this young lady is?”

Ci Xue and She Long exchanged glances. Since they had already met, there was no point in hiding it any longer.

In fact, Qian Renxue’s identity didn’t need to be hidden too much; it wasn’t something shameful. As long as people didn’t realize that Qian Renxue and Xue Qinghe were the same person, it was fine.

“This is the daughter of the former Pope of our Martial Soul Temple, and the younger sister of the current Pope, Miss Qian Renxue,” Ci Xue introduced in a low voice.

He didn’t know the true relationship between Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, only considering them sisters, after all, one was Qian Xunji’s disciple and the other was his daughter.

Lan Xue nodded. “So it is. I never expected the former Pope to have surviving blood relatives. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss Qian Renxue.”

“The pleasure is mine, Your Excellency Xuanbing. And this is… His Highness the Crown Prince of Ancient Thunder King Country, right? Since I entered, you have been staring at me. Isn’t that a little impolite?” Qian Renxue said with a smile.

She wasn’t actually angry, because although Nan Feihuang had been watching her, there wasn’t a hint of lechery in his eyes; instead, curiosity was more prominent.

“Oh, sorry. It’s just that you give me a very familiar feeling, sister.” Nan Feihuang smiled back, his tone unchanged, not showing the slightest nervousness due to Qian Renxue’s beauty.

Lü Lingqi’s beauty was not inferior to Qian Renxue’s, and when he looked at other beautiful women, he felt… just so-so.

Perhaps Nan Feihuang’s tone was too calm, causing Qian Renxue to pause slightly.

She knew her own situation. It wasn’t arrogance, but it was the first time a man had seen her and remained so calm.

Unexpectedly, she met two such men today. She could clearly feel that Nan Feihuang was genuinely calm, and there was also Dian Wei, that simpleton—anyone could see that he was a bit slow.

In his eyes, Qian Renxue’s beautiful legs probably couldn’t compare to the chicken legs and pig trotters in his hands, which he was currently engrossed in devouring. Do not disturb!

“Then, we won’t disturb you. Farewell!” Qian Renxue stood up, preparing to leave. She was worried that if Nan Feihuang continued to stare, he might discover the connection between her and Xue Qinghe.

She had experienced this child’s intelligence over the years and decided to distance herself early.

“Wait. You are here to hunt for soul rings, aren’t you? Since our goals are the same, why not team up? It will be safer to have each other’s support,” Nan Tianchen suggested. There were two Title Douluos opposite them, such strong combat power – if they could be utilized, they shouldn’t miss the opportunity.

With three Title Douluos working together, even the Star Lake, supposedly occupied by the Forest Emperor Azure Bull Python and the Forest King Titan Giant Ape, would be within their reach.

The closer to the center of the forest, the stronger the soul beasts—this was common sense. Nan Tianchen needed to absorb his eighth soul ring, which required extremely high requirements for the soul beast’s age and type. Having an extra helper would add an extra layer of security.

“Hehe, no need. The soul beast I’m hunting is only around twenty thousand years old; I won’t go too far. Uncle Ci and Uncle She protecting me is enough,” Qian Renxue smiled slightly. She was no ordinary person; she wouldn’t let Nan Tianchen use her easily.

After saying that, Qian Renxue left with the two Title Douluos, leaving behind a disappointed Nan Tianchen, silent others, and Dian Wei, who continued to eat.

“This father of mine still only sees the immediate situation and lacks strategic thinking. Does he really think that even though Qian Renxue is young, she’s a fool who can’t see through his intentions?” Nan Feihuang shook his head secretly.

Nan Tianchen’s ability to govern the country during peacetime was quite good, but if he were to conquer the world in the future, he couldn’t rely on him.

He’s a weakened version of Sun Zhongmou (Sun Quan): capable of governing, but in battle, he’d become “Sun Ten Thousand” (a reference to Sun Quan’s incompetence in military strategy), easily becoming a stepping stone for someone like Zhang Baibai (Zhang Fei) to become famous.

“Forget it. Hunting for the eighth soul ring doesn’t require the power of the Martial Soul Temple. Isn’t having me enough?” Lan Xue comforted her husband.

Nan Tianchen nodded. “You’re right. Having you is enough. I was being greedy.”

“Everyone, let’s rest early tonight. Tomorrow morning, we’ll set off for the Star Dou Great Forest. First, we’ll help Ling’er and Dian Wei get their soul rings. Then, Mr. Xu Rong, you send the children back. I’ll go with Xue’er and Old Zhang to the depths of the forest to find high-level soul beasts.”

“Yes!” Xu Rong immediately obeyed.

Everyone dispersed, returning to their rooms. Coincidentally, Nan Feihuang’s room was next to Qian Renxue’s.

Both wanted to return to their rooms and met again.

Then, Nan Feihuang was again captivated by Qian Renxue’s face, but this time not because of her beauty, but something else.

Qian Renxue’s forehead was dark.

Zuo Ci, one of the three immortals of the Three Kingdoms period, was also a skilled physiognomist (someone who can tell character and fortune from a person’s face). Even if he wasn’t as professional as Xu Zi Jiang, he was certainly not bad. The Dun Jia Heavenly Book also contained introductions and learning methods of physiognomy.

Nan Feihuang was very interested in this, but to focus on his soul power cultivation, he hadn’t delved into it deeply, only taking time to study a little bit.

A very common ominous phrase in physiognomy is: “a dark forehead.” The forehead is between the eyebrows. A person’s life, lifespan, spirit, desires, seven emotions and six desires, and the good and bad fortune of their life are all reflected in the forehead. People often say that a dark forehead indicates impending disaster.

A dark forehead is a very bad sign. If the forehead is slightly dark, the impact isn’t particularly significant; it might just mean some bad luck, and it won’t affect the overall fortune, but if the dark energy on the forehead reaches a certain level, then it’s serious.

After obtaining the external soul bone, Ghost Howling Sky Pearl, Nan Feihuang’s eyesight became sharper, able to see things others couldn’t.

He could clearly see that the dark energy between Qian Renxue’s eyebrows was almost black and shiny.

This was absolutely a sign of death.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince of Ancient Thunder, what a coincidence. Every time we meet, you stare at me as if you’re bewitched. Isn’t that too impolite? Earlier, you used familiarity as an excuse, but what is it this time?”

“You’re going to die, isn’t that it?” Nan Feihuang wanted to say this, but of course, he couldn’t be so blunt. He simply bowed and casually said, “This time it’s purely because Miss Qian Renxue is too beautiful. Golden long hair, a sacred aura, six-winged angel… I was momentarily captivated. I’m sorry, I offended you.”

After apologizing, Nan Feihuang opened the door and returned to his room.

Leaving Qian Renxue standing there dumbfounded, because she had heard that phrase somewhere before.

Soon, she remembered.

She and Nan Feihuang had talked before about what type of girl he liked.

He had answered two types: one was a valiant female general.

And the other was what he had just said: golden long hair, sacred aura, six wings!

Qian Renxue finally understood. “So, the type of woman he liked back then was actually me!”

“So just now… was he confessing his love to me?”
