Douluo: Unparalleled General, Starting by Deceptive Thousand-Snow-Peak 80

Chapter 80: Giving Up Because I Can’t Figure It Out

Qian Renxue returned to her room, lost in thought. Nan Feihuang’s expression and tone just now… he seemed to have fallen for her.

She could tell that although Feihuang and Xue Ke were engaged, it was purely a political marriage. Perhaps because of Nan Feihuang’s outstanding qualities, Xue Ke had developed some affection for him, but he only held respect for her, not love.

“He likes me? I’m afraid you’re not qualified yet! However, he can be useful.” Qian Renxue smiled faintly. She would one day return to her original form, and if she could use Nan Feihuang’s affection for her to further bring him under her control, it wouldn’t be a bad method.

When not consumed by romantic thoughts, Qian Renxue was always pragmatic, utilizing everything she could, even emotions.

Meanwhile, Nan Feihuang was puzzled. “Strange, does Qian Renxue die so early?”

“And when we first met, her death aura hadn’t spread. When did it begin? That’s right, it was after she rejected my father’s request for cooperation. Could her death be related to me?”

This was the only conclusion Nan Feihuang could reach. After all, in the original story, Qian Renxue certainly would have hunted Soul Beasts. Two ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts guarded by two Title Douluo shouldn’t pose a fatal threat to her.

Compared to the original timeline, the only change was the addition of his group, or rather, himself.

Nan Feihuang felt troubled. If Qian Renxue died so early, Xun Yu’s strategic plan would be completely disrupted.

“Sigh, I should have brought Wenruo along.” Nan Feihuang sighed. If Xun Yu were here, Qian Renxue’s life or death would be less important.

Because Xun Yu would definitely redesign the strategic plan based on Qian Renxue’s fate, then leave the final decision to Nan Feihuang.

This had always been their mode of interaction: Xun Yu planned, and Nan Feihuang decided.

But now Xun Yu wasn’t around, and Nan Feihuang had to judge for himself. If it was truly because of him that Qian Renxue was in imminent danger…

Then Nan Feihuang would have to respond according to the situation.

If it didn’t pose too much danger to his side, he might as well use his mother’s power to save Qian Renxue. Otherwise, he could only watch her die.

But if that happened, Xue Qinghe would disappear, and Xue Beng would inevitably inherit the throne.

Plotting against the Tian Dou Empire would become much more troublesome.

Personally killing Xue Beng wasn’t impossible, but any action would leave loopholes.

“If you want something to remain unknown, you must not do it yourself,” isn’t just a saying.

Regicide wasn’t a small matter. Even if Nan Feihuang wasn’t afraid, he would only be able to use violence to seize the Tian Dou Empire, which would undoubtedly cause great bloodshed.

Nan Feihuang loved fighting, but he didn’t like slaughter.

Killing tyrannical nobles was fine, but he couldn’t bring himself to harm benevolent nobles or innocent civilians, even if he was evil.

He always knew what kind of person he was. In his self-perception, hypocrisy took up the largest part, or it could be called false goodness – a hypocrite.

But a hypocrite is still a gentleman. To maintain his persona, Nan Feihuang wouldn’t take the lives of benevolent nobles or innocent civilians. If possible, he hoped to remain a hypocrite for the rest of his life.

A general could kill, but not indiscriminately. This was his bottom line as a general.

This was also the biggest reason why, although he yearned for the power of figures like Xiang Yu, Bai Qi, and Lu Bu, he didn’t worship their character. He preferred generals like Wei Qing.

Finally, after thinking for a long time without reaching a conclusion, Nan Feihuang made a decision.

That is… to give up!

Whatever happens, happens. He didn’t even understand the factors leading to Qian Renxue’s death, so even if he wanted to help, he couldn’t. He could only react as the situation unfolded; if he could save her, he would, if not, then there was nothing he could do.

Anyway, currently, he and Qian Renxue only had thoughts of mutual utilization. Don’t look at them calling each other “Xue Ge” and “Feihuang” affectionately; in reality, there wasn’t much genuine affection between them.

If Lü Lingqi were in danger, Nan Feihuang would definitely fight to the death.

The next morning, after a night’s rest, everyone was refreshed and prepared to set off again. They were very close to the Star Dou Great Forest.

At their pace, they would arrive within half a day.

At the hotel entrance, Nan Feihuang saw Qian Renxue and the other two walking out. Not only Qian Renxue, but the Porcupine Douluo and the Snake Spear Douluo were also covered in dark energy.

This indicated that even these two Title Douluo were facing a bloody disaster.

This further confused Nan Feihuang. What were they planning to do? Even Title Douluo were going to die.

Were they going to fight the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape?

But with their strength, even if they couldn’t win, they shouldn’t all be killed. Or perhaps, it had to do with ferocious beasts?

Within the Star Dou Great Forest, the only beings capable of preventing even Title Douluo from escaping were the ferocious beasts.

But according to the timeline, they should all be in the lower subspace at the center of the Lake of Life, focusing on absorbing the power of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to cultivate.

With the strength of the Porcupine Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo, they couldn’t even pass the Titan Giant Ape’s level, let alone reach the center of the Lake of Life and offend those monsters.

Nan Feihuang shook his head. If he couldn’t figure it out, he wouldn’t think about it for now. He would continue to give up; anyway, they weren’t on the same path.

After leaving the town, the two groups arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.

As the largest gathering place for wild Soul Beasts, the Star Dou Great Forest was naturally the place Soul Masters most hoped to come to, because coming here meant they could advance to a stronger stage.

Qian Renxue’s group didn’t stop and went straight to the depths. After all, she was hunting for her sixth Soul Ring; the hundred-year and thousand-year Soul Beasts in the outer areas couldn’t satisfy her.

Her sixth ring for her Six-winged Angel needed a Soul Beast over ten thousand years old with sacred attributes.

Nan Feihuang and his group, however, needed to obtain Soul Rings for Nan Feiling and Dian Wei first, so they initially only roamed the outer areas.

Perhaps they were lucky; they had only been in the forest for half a day when they encountered a Soul Beast suitable for Nan Feiling.

Years ago, Nan Feiling had followed Nan Feihuang’s advice and mainly adopted a primary control, secondary support route.

The most special feature of Nan Feiling’s Ancient Thunder Book Martial Soul was that she possessed all attributes, but each attribute was relatively weak. She could only choose one or two attributes for focused development, otherwise it would be too mediocre. She chose earth and wind attributes. Therefore, her first two Soul Skills were the earth attribute Rock Wall Formation and the wind attribute Tailwind Formation.

The Rock Wall Formation, as the name suggests, created an indestructible rock cage, a single-target control skill.

The Tailwind Formation was a group support skill, creating a tailwind from behind to increase the speed of all teammates by twenty percent. While not as good as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it was still good, after all it was group support and the Soul Power consumption was much lower than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Notice from the editor: The book will be officially published on Monday.

This is my first book, and I’m very happy to have written it to this point. Regardless of the results, the beginning is always the hardest. Regardless of good or bad, I will do my best to finish it and will never give up halfway.

As a thank you to everyone, there will be a double update today, one day before the official release.

After the official release, I will also do my best to update frequently.

Thank you to all the book readers.
