Douluo, Qingmei Qianrenxue, Opening with Soul Ring Changing to Soul Vein 100

Chapter 100: Time is About to Speed Up

While Tang San was still enduring inhumane torture, enjoying it in his own way, Lin Feng was already savoring the joys of family life. It was the ultimate indulgence. Some things only have zero times and countless times.

Since those two days, Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan had opened a door to a new world, indulging in nightly delights. They were completely captivated and unable to extricate themselves. It was fortunate that Lin Feng’s body wasn’t as fragile as the average Soul Master. He persevered remarkably well. However, as time went on, his desire to condense his fifth soul ring in his kidneys grew stronger.

Qian Renxue was relatively fine, but Ling Yuan was different. The strength of a Titled Douluo wasn’t something Lin Feng, currently still a Soul Zong, could easily handle. If Ling Yuan hadn’t been gentle and hadn’t exerted herself fully, Lin Feng might have been defeated.

On a vast expanse of snow-white plains, Lin Feng and Qian Renxue woke up in their tent. Rubbing her slightly sleepy eyes, Qian Renxue yawned long and languidly. Closing her eyes, she unconsciously touched Lin Feng: “Did I win last night?”

Lin Feng twitched the corner of his mouth. You two took turns day after day, without giving yourselves any rest, and only then did you win once. Is that something to be so proud of? “You win,” he said.

“Haha~” Qian Renxue laughed triumphantly, rubbing her cheek against Lin Feng’s chest. “I know you’re tired, so I’ll let you off for a while.” Are you sure *you’re* not the tired one? It was just one win or loss, why are you taking it so seriously?

Picking up a wooden comb, he combed Qian Renxue’s golden hair. Qian Renxue, in turn, adjusted her clothing. Lin Feng spoke softly, “Where do you want to go now?”

Qian Renxue paused, then said, “How about we go to the border? We’ve seen the snow scenery. Rumor has it that further ahead is unexplored territory, and it’s very dangerous. Even high-level Soul Douluo have died there. We only have Ling Yuan, a Titled Douluo, so we need to be cautious.”

Lin Feng nodded slowly. “Going south from the Hagen Dazs Kingdom, crossing the Jin Cheng Mountains and Xing Luo Mountains, we can reach a main city near the border of the two empires.” (Hagen Dazs Kingdom is a fictional kingdom in the novel, likely a playful reference to the ice cream brand.)

“Which one?”

“Geng Xin City, known as the City of Metal. The Ironworkers’ Guild headquarters is also located there, a paradise for blacksmiths on the continent. It concentrates rare metals and large quantities of common metals. I need to go there, and ideally, establish a partnership.”

Qian Renxue’s eyes sharpened. “Little Feng, what do you mean?”

“Geng Xin City is located at the junction of the Spirit Hall, the Star Luo Empire, and the northern border of the Douluo Empire. While its reputation as the City of Metal might seem ordinary, and its blacksmiths may not receive much attention, in times of special circumstances, its geographical location alone makes it a strategic place. As the City of Metal and a blacksmith’s paradise, it will become an important logistical base. Not everyone is a Soul Master, and once a master blacksmith’s skills reach their peak, the weapons they forge are equally formidable. This power is best kept in our hands.”

Qian Renxue nodded, leaning her head back, her azure eyes looking at Lin Feng. “Why did you suddenly think of this? Is it because you were given the title of Saint Son?”

“Not really. Although I have no intention of competing for the throne, I understand the suffering of the people. The continent will eventually be unified, and as long as the two empires maintain a competitive relationship, conflict will inevitably return.”

Qian Renxue sighed, raising both arms to rub Lin Feng’s cheeks. “The Nine-Headed Sea Heart, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Titled Douluo Du Gu Bo, and the secret dealings with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School… Little Feng, you’ve already done so much, don’t overwork yourself.”

He fastened the hairpin he had bought for Qian Renxue. Lin Feng examined her carefully in the mirror. Unlike before, the curves of Qian Renxue’s cheeks were softer, exuding a subtle charm, a mature allure.

“My little Xue is becoming increasingly caring.”

“Humph~ Big pig’s hoof, just be grateful!”

Leaving the tent, Ling Yuan was already waiting. “Let’s go back. Winter is coming, and there will be blizzards here, making further exploration unsuitable. We’ll head south, go to Douluo City, then directly to Star Luo and Geng Xin City.”

Ling Yuan nodded, and with a gust of wind, a huge fire phoenix appeared before Lin Feng and Qian Renxue.

“Isn’t this too flashy?”

Ling Yuan snorted softly, “This isn’t where those two seniors are. We’ll revert to human form when we get close to the city. What?”

The phoenix’s beak opened slightly, “You rode it last night, why are you afraid today?”

Qian Renxue glared and scolded, “Ling Yuan, you’re too presumptuous!” Damn it, so Ling Yuan has unlocked new positions? Does this mean I’m falling behind?

Ling Yuan’s phoenix beak made a soft chirp. “Alright, alright, I won’t say it anymore, lest I anger Her Majesty~”

Qian Renxue, sitting on Ling Yuan’s phoenix form, angrily plucked a feather emitting a faint golden light.

“Yi—”

“Little Xue~!”

A jolt ran through her body, a tingling sensation spreading throughout her being. Ling Yuan looked back with a touch of reproach.

Qian Renxue triumphantly looked at Ling Yuan’s phoenix eyes. “It’s not only you, Ling Yuan, who knows your weaknesses. Do you want me to tell Little Feng where that feather corresponds to on your human body?”

The magical phrasing, the strange question, seemed to carry a magic that made resistance impossible.

Ling Yuan’s phoenix head drooped slightly, and she nodded dejectedly. “I was wrong. I won’t say such things in front of Little Xue again.” I’ll secretly tell Little Feng later, ha~

Qian Renxue nodded triumphantly, and then lay down on Ling Yuan’s back.

“Fire phoenix, why isn’t it on fire?”

“Silly, Ling Yuan has put it away. Do you want to be constantly roasted by flames?”

Qian Renxue keenly noticed the change in Lin Feng’s address for Ling Yuan, and narrowed her eyes, but didn’t mention it. Since Lin Feng wanted to change the way he addressed her, and since things had already progressed, she would just follow his wishes.

Ling Yuan, upon hearing this, felt a surge of joy, yet a hint of faint disappointment. Not calling her ‘sister’ felt like something was missing. A very strange feeling.

The three quickly travelled and soon reached Douluo City.

Two and a half months passed quickly. It had been a long time since their last visit to the Sunset Forest. Due to Gu Yue Na’s sudden arrival, Lin Feng and the others hadn’t even gone to Douluo City, heading straight north. Now that they were back, they could rest for a few days and condense Ye Mu’s soul ring.
