At noon, Ye Feng took Qian Renxue and Bi Ji out for a meal before bringing her back to the hotel.
Upon returning, Qian Renxue took a shower, wrapped herself in a towel, and immediately burrowed under the covers without another word.
"What's wrong? Are you upset?"
Ye Feng noticed the shift in her mood and slipped under the covers as well, gently pulling her into his arms.
"Mmm… Ye Feng, I really envy you for having such wonderful elders…" Qian Renxue nestled deeper into his embrace, her voice soft and filled with longing.
Her emotions were inexplicably low.
Today, she had talked a lot with Bi Ji and learned much more about the Star Sect and Ye Feng.
It could be said that Ye Feng was the beloved treasure of the entire Star Sect, raised with endless care and affection.
Without comparison, there would be no pain.
In contrast, her own childhood had been far too turbulent…
Ye Feng seemed to guess something but found himself at a loss for words to comfort her.
He could only hold her tighter in his arms…
"Ye Feng, I know you understand a lot about me, but you probably don't know how my childhood was, do you…?"
Qian Renxue let out a self-deprecating laugh before continuing slowly, "The moment I was born, my mother almost strangled me to death… If not for my father stepping in just in time…"
Leaning against Ye Feng, she poured out her heart, recounting her past…
Though there had been complications at birth, she had survived.
Her father had treated her well, but he was always busy, rarely finding time to visit her.
Most of the time, she was under the care of Bi Bi Dong and the elders of the Spirit Hall.
Because of Bi Bi Dong's presence, her father often argued with her, and many times, their disputes escalated into violent clashes.
This cast a deep shadow over her childhood.
Later, her father died unexpectedly in battle, and Bi Bi Dong took full control of the Spirit Hall. From then on, Qian Renxue lived almost entirely under Bi Bi Dong's tyranny.
A year after her father's death, Bi Bi Dong approached her with a demand—to carry out a secret mission in the Heaven Dou Empire.
She agreed without hesitation.
After all, she knew that in Bi Bi Dong's eyes, she was nothing more than a tool.
Rather than enduring Bi Bi Dong's abuse in the Spirit Hall, she would rather leave her homeland, grow stronger in secret, and one day return to exact her revenge.
From that moment on, she was no longer "Qian Renxue"—she became "Xue Qinghe"!
On the surface, she had escaped Bi Bi Dong's grasp, but the loneliness and hardship of living undercover for over a decade were known only to her.
Moreover, her mission wasn't just to infiltrate—it was to seize complete control of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Success would be one thing.
But failure meant returning to the Spirit Hall, where Bi Bi Dong would still have her at her mercy.
The pressure and suffering were hers alone to bear.
...
By the time Qian Renxue finished speaking, her tears had already soaked Ye Feng's chest.
This was the first time she had ever confided in someone like this.
For some reason, after pouring out all the things she had buried deep inside, she felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
"There, there… You have me now, don't you?"
Ye Feng's fingertips brushed over her damp lashes, feeling the delicate tremble of her long eyelashes against his skin.
This was the first time he had ever seen Qian Renxue cry like this.
He had always thought Qian Renxue was a very strong-willed woman.
Even when he had pinned her down and spanked her last time, she hadn't shed a single tear.
But now…
"Mmm, it's good to have you…"
Qian Renxue slightly raised her head, her shimmering pale golden eyes gazing at Ye Feng.
As a spy in the Heaven Dou Empire, she had been completely alone, relying solely on herself.
But now… it seemed she had someone to lean on…
The two were pressed extremely close, their breaths mingling.
Qian Renxue leaned in, her delicate hands gently hooking around Ye Feng's neck, and pouted with a hint of grievance. "Because of you, I don't even dare to go home now. You're all I have left, so you better treat me well…"
"Alright~"
Ye Feng nodded. At this point, how could he hold back? He closed the distance between them…
"Mmm…"
Qian Renxue shot him a faint glare, but this time, she didn't resist or make excuses.
After all, this was bound to happen sooner or later.
Before, she had struggled to convince herself, feeling it was too reckless.
But now, she had made up her mind.
Soon, two sets of clothes were tossed out from under the covers…
At the same time, Qian Renxue's slightly flustered voice came from beneath the blankets, as if she had suddenly remembered something. "Ah, right—you can't make me a concubine… I have to be the main wife… mmm…"
...
...
...
...
A sleepless night.
The next morning.
Qian Renxue curled up under the covers, clinging tightly to Ye Feng, her face exhausted.
"You're such a monster… Couldn't you have gone easier on me…?"
She lightly nipped at Ye Feng's neck, her expression full of resentment.
At first, she had thought his vigor would mean a happy future for her.
But after two hours, she regretted it…
She hadn't slept all night, and now her whole body felt weak, her mind still hazy and floating…
She was a Soul Saint, for heaven's sake!
At the start, she had even taken the lead.
But after half an hour, all she wanted was to lie there, completely motionless.
Who knew how exhausting this night would be…
"If you're this weak, you can't be the main wife~" Ye Feng pinched Qian Renxue's soft cheek teasingly.
"You—I—that's not fair! Who uses this as a standard?! You promised me last night!! No taking it back!"
Qian Renxue immediately flared up, gripping Ye Feng's neck and shaking him hard.
Given Ye Feng's physique, forget a Soul Saint—even a Titled Douluo might not last a whole night.
"Haha, stop messing around. Rest well, and in a couple of days, I'll send you back," Ye Feng said with a laugh, ruffling her hair.
"Mmm… You're kicking me out already?! You're sick of me that fast?!" Already emotionally sensitive, Qian Renxue took his words as rejection and immediately pouted.
"No… I'm just worried your disappearance might be noticed."
Ye Feng quickly explained.
Currently, Xue Qinghe was publicly said to be "in seclusion," but if anyone discovered his absence, it would cause trouble.
Qian Renxue had been undercover for so long—Ye Feng didn't want his actions to ruin years of her hard work.
"Really? You're not just sick of me?"
Qian Renxue eyed him suspiciously.
"Should I prove it again?"
Ye Feng pulled her close once more, his gaze threatening.
"Stop! I believe you... I'm sorry, I was wrong..." Qian Renxue instantly backed down.
She realized that Ye Feng was purely concerned about her, not just being heartless after getting what he wanted.
She had overthought the situation.
"Mmm, that's a good girl~"
Ye Feng reached into the blanket and gently gave her a playful squeeze...
"Eep..."
...
...
Three days later.
Qian Renxue returned to Heaven Dou City.
Though reluctant to part, she chose to be obedient.
Of course, there was another reason - these three days she'd spent every moment with Ye Feng...
Qian Renxue felt she couldn't quite keep up; Ye Feng was truly monstrous.
And as "Qian Renxue" disappeared from sight, "Xue Qinghe" emerged from seclusion, reappearing before the people's eyes.
