Since I've got her under control, I have to do a little bit of mischief!
Zhuge Lan sized up Qian Renxue from head to toe, nodding from time to time.
A look of admiration on his face.
This made Qian Renxue's expression slightly cold.
Although she had disguised herself as a man since she was very young, there were plenty of royal matters that were troublesome.
Plus, she was confident in her own beauty.
No way, right?
Finally, there's someone she doesn't need to hide from, and it turns out to be…
[Emotion Points +44444]
But Qian Renxue was rational.
She had been undercover for nearly 20 years, all for the Martial Soul Empire to achieve unification smoothly.
Now that success was within reach, could she accept being exposed?
All her years of effort, what would they mean then?
Sunk cost thinking.
Qian Renxue couldn't help but consider: if Zhuge Lan really made excessive demands, how could she tactfully delay him?
—At most, in one month, she could make the Xueye Emperor die prematurely!
As for after that…
It depended on Zhuge Lan's family—whether they were worth an imperial marriage for the Martial Soul Empire.
She mentally prepared herself.
Used to being proactive, Qian Renxue calmly met Zhuge Lan's scrutinizing gaze.
"I can agree to try dating you."
"But the final outcome depends on the process of getting along."
"Of course, during this time, you must also keep my secret."
Her serious expression made it clear she treated this matter of affection like a business negotiation.
In response, Zhuge Lan scratched his head in puzzlement.
"Who said I wanted to date you?"
[Emotion Points +110,000]
Qian Renxue's defenses immediately broke!
She glared at Zhuge Lan. What kind of look was that just now?
"You're so beautiful. I was merely appreciating it and happened to look a few more times."
Zhuge Lan shrugged and asked in return:
"Is that not allowed?"
Able to confidently propose using oneself as bait to silence me?
What kind of fantasies did you create in your head?
[Emotion Points +151,515]
Qian Renxue was both embarrassed and furious!
You!
Deliberately misleading me into a mental trap and then making me look foolish?
But she also knew arguing about it was meaningless.
She said directly, "Then tell me, what are your conditions?"
Zhuge Lan grinned.
"Me?"
"I want you to take half a day each week to go on a date with me."
Qian Renxue:
< (￣﹌￣)@m
Confirmed.
He did it on purpose!
[Emotion Points +141,414]
Without waiting for a response, Zhuge Lan continued:
"During the date, we might do some things couples do."
"Like kissing, hugging, lifting each other up."
[Emotion Points +151,515]
Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes at Zhuge Lan, her gaze dangerous.
Does he think I'm stupid or naive?
Would I agree to such a request?
"Of course, in return…"
In Zhuge Lan's hand appeared a delicate ring.
It radiated pure light-type energy, irresistibly attracting Qian Renxue's gaze, which fixed on it.
As Zhuge Lan moved it up and down, her eyes followed.
He sighed and said:
"I learned from my family's historical records that during that tragic war in the Divine Realm, countless gods fell."
"The angel god your family worshipped was unfortunately one of them."
"This inheritance ring was a personal item of your angel god before their death."
"It contains many self-created soul skills, some from before becoming a god, some after."
"If you agree to my request, I can ensure it is returned to its rightful owner."
"How about it?"
[Emotion Points +199,999]
Qian Renxue naturally did not want to agree to Zhuge Lan's strange request.
But…
The inheritance ring's irresistible attraction made it impossible for her to speak.
After a while, she gave a bitter smile.
[Emotion Points +151,515]
Fine.
"Can you tell me about this so-called Divine Realm War?"
She avoided answering directly.
For Qian Renxue, who clearly separated love and hatred, this meant she had implicitly accepted Zhuge Lan's condition.
This made Zhuge Lan smile smugly.
—Even proud Qian Renxue was easily manipulated.
"The specific details of the Divine Realm War aren't in the family records," he explained.
"It only roughly states that due to reasons involving the Dragon God, the beast-type gods and human-type gods erupted into war."
"Your family's angel god had just ascended, unstable in strength, yet was a first-tier god, fighting on the front line."
"The result…"
"You know."
"Finally, the Asura God King struck down the Dragon God. The morale of the beast-type gods collapsed, and they were slaughtered."
"After that, rules were established: soul masters must absorb soul rings to ascend, soul beasts must experience a lightning tribulation after 100,000 years, and soul beasts cannot become gods."
Qian Renxue was silent.
Listening… the logic seemed reasonable?
Along with Zhuge Lan's strange prior behavior, there seemed no need for lies.
So…
The angel god really fell?
No wonder, for ten thousand years, no miraculous divine event had occurred.
Indeed.
Qian Renxue regained her composure.
Her gaze turned to the inheritance ring in Zhuge Lan's hand, filled with desire.
If…
The angel god has fallen, then the divine seat is naturally vacant.
Could she take it for herself?
This inheritance ring left by the angel god would surely greatly aid her in becoming a god!
[Emotion Points +190,000]
Unknowingly, Qian Renxue's vision expanded from matters of the Douluo Continent to the Divine Realm.
Seeing her heart stirred, Zhuge Lan stepped forward, took her right hand, and placed the inheritance ring on her ring finger.
Qian Renxue did not resist in the slightest, allowing Zhuge Lan to act.
Zhuge Lan whispered, "Don't resist. I'm coming in."
Instinctively, Qian Renxue tensed and didn't immediately lower her defenses.
But…
Zhuge Lan's spiritual power was extraordinary, sweeping away a fragment of her spiritual energy.
Qian Renxue: "."
Really, did you need to say that?
The next moment, her perspective shifted, entering the inheritance ring.
It looked like a library, with walls lined with recesses holding door-sized cards neatly arranged.
Zhuge Lan appeared beside her and explained:
"This inheritance ring is also one of the simpler ways gods select their heirs."
"There are over a thousand self-created soul skills here, all light-type."
"As for how to use them…"
He waved his hand.
The cards around her swirled, rotating in front of Qian Renxue.
One by one, the names came into view:
Pure White Blade, Cross Slash, Lightning Stab, Light's Vengeance, Sacrifice, Angel's Embrace…
Qian Renxue was dazzled.
So many self-created soul skills, left by an angel god.
Their power must be… at least ten-thousand-year level?
Even learning half of them…
On the Douluo Continent, who could still oppose the Spirit Hall?
No need for stealth or trickery.
Directly crush with raw strength. Anyone who opposes? Cut them all down!
[Emotion Points +190,000]
[Emotion Points +210,000]
[Emotion Points +290,000]
Beside her, Zhuge Lan held back his laughter.
Look at how excited the little girl is.
If she knew all of this was just an empty frame Zhuge Lan created, spending 1,000 emotion points…
How would she react?
