Chapter 116: Don't Let the Children Suffer!
No matter how hard life gets, don't let the children suffer. By marrying Lei Yingying, the issue of the child's rations was perfectly resolved.
Moreover, Lei Yingying, also known as Baal Zeb, didn't mind the idea of having multiple wives…
However, it seemed that Yu Tiankong had overlooked this point.
Shui Ningshuang and Shui Bing'er left with the somewhat disheartened Shui Yue'er. Though they didn't know exactly how far Yu Tiankong had progressed, they now had a clear understanding that he was incredibly strong.
"You're quite interesting."
Qian Renxue smiled as she spoke.
Wasn't it just so? Shui Yue'er had arranged a date with him, but what did Yu Tiankong do? He actually challenged Shui Yue'er to a duel!
The most outrageous part was how he had the nerve to bully Shui Yue'er with his strength!
Yu Tiankong was momentarily stunned and turned to look at Qian Renxue. He said, "Have we met before? I don't mean today."
He had a strange feeling about this girl, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Qian Renxue was equally surprised by his words, a hint of astonishment flashing through her eyes.
Was Yu Tiankong's perception ability really that strong?
Indeed, she had met him before, but at the time, she was disguised as Xue Qinghe, her appearance entirely different from her current one.
She was certain that Yu Tiankong had never seen her true face!
"Is this why, the first time you saw me, you complimented my legs?"
Qian Renxue quickly regained her composure and smiled.
There was a hint of disguise in her smile.
Now was definitely not the right time to reveal herself to Yu Tiankong. Even though she had a romantic side, her career came first.
The situation in Heaven Dou City couldn't afford any mistakes. The fewer people who knew about this, the better protected her secret would be.
As Qian Renxue said this, she kept a close eye on the changes in Yu Tiankong's expression.
When she saw his surprised look, she realized that she had unintentionally hit upon the truth!
But why did she feel an odd surge of irritation?
She was so annoyed!
"Yu Tiankong, how should I address you?"
The surprise in Yu Tiankong's eyes faded quickly, and he responded with an indifferent expression.
"Just call me Xiaoxue. As for my surname, it's not important."
As soon as Qian Renxue finished speaking, Yu Tiankong's body trembled. Good grief, he had suspected it before, but now it was confirmed!
It made sense. At her age, there wasn't a third soul emperor of this caliber in the entire Douluo Continent.
Even Bibi Dong, at Qian Renxue's age, couldn't have reached the level of a soul emperor. That was something Yu Tiankong was sure of.
Innate advantages couldn't always be made up for by twin martial souls early on. One still had to practice diligently like any other soul master with innate full soul power.
"What is Qian Renxue doing, coming to me in disguise?"
Yu Tiankong wondered, puzzled.
If she was trying to recruit him, the timing didn't seem right.
Wasn't she afraid of exposing her identity?
Considering her looks, the rate at which people turned their heads to stare at her on the streets must have been nearly 100%. Such a show of attracting attention would definitely draw the interest of some nosy individuals.
If a fight broke out, her martial soul would be revealed.
Yu Tiankong could hardly imagine that Qian Renxue had fallen in love with him at first sight.
At this moment, Qian Renxue felt a little bewildered. Yu Tiankong's expression was odd.
Did she say something wrong? Why did Yu Tiankong's face seem like he knew too much all of a sudden?
"What's with that look?"
"Huh? Oh, it's nothing. I just remembered something from the past."
Yu Tiankong waved his hand as he spoke.
Since Qian Renxue was acting, he might as well play along with her.
Xiaoxue?
This situation could develop quite a bit. There was definitely room for growth.
At the very least, the children wouldn't have to suffer.
Someone like Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, was probably beyond saving…
Qian Renxue pursed her lips. Even a ghost wouldn't believe Yu Tiankong's words!
How could he be thinking about other things while talking to her? She was, after all, known as the most beautiful woman on the Douluo Continent—did she really have no charm?
If what he said was true, she would be furious. If it was false, then what exactly had Yu Tiankong been thinking about?
"As young as you are, being a Soul Emperor is the first time I've seen someone like you," Yu Tiankong said as he walked toward Heaven Dou City.
Talking here felt a bit strange, especially when facing Qian Renxue.
"Aren't you just as unique, being such a young Soul Sage on the Douluo Continent?" Qian Renxue raised her delicate brows and replied with a calm expression.
If she hadn't come to Heaven Dou City and had focused entirely on cultivating, she might have already broken through to the Soul Sage level by now.
After all, she was quite a few years older than Yu Tiankong, and her innate soul power was at the twentieth level!
It didn't surprise Qian Renxue that Yu Tiankong could see through her soul power level. In her mind, his perception was incredibly sharp. If he couldn't detect her level, that would have been the real shock.
"Just lucky, that's all," Yu Tiankong waved his hand and said.
If it weren't for the life forces provided by the Faceless Demon Spider, Sky Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape, as well as the modifications from Shadow Treasure, it would've taken him at least another year or two to reach the Soul Sage level, let alone condense a soul core at that level.
Much of the energy in his soul bones had already been used to form his first soul core. Otherwise, it would've taken him longer to gather enough soul power to complete the condensation.
Though his strength had grown rapidly, his foundation was stable enough, though there wasn't much accumulation. This wasn't a big issue.
When Yu Tiankong said it was luck, he really meant it.
Qian Renxue's expression twitched slightly after hearing this, and the way she looked at Yu Tiankong changed.
Luck?
Where on the Douluo Continent was there such a thing as pure luck?
"Care to have a meal together?"
As they neared Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue noticed that Yu Tiankong still hadn't asked her anything. He hadn't even spoken much at all, so she had no choice but to take the initiative.
She knew about Yu Tiankong's strength. Wasn't he curious? He didn't ask anything!
Wasn't he even curious about the strange familiarity he felt toward her, Qian Renxue's true identity?
He didn't say anything, didn't ask anything.
This gave Qian Renxue a sense of frustration. Was it because she wasn't beautiful enough?
"Looking at how I'm dressed now, shouldn't I change my clothes first?" Yu Tiankong pointed at his pants. The lower part had been destroyed by Shui Yue'er's third soul skill, making his appearance somewhat awkward.
He wanted to change, but Qian Renxue had been following him the entire time, so he had no place to do so!
A young man out in the world must protect himself!
For Qian Renxue to approach him so aggressively, she must have ulterior motives!
Yu Tiankong had always been good at judging people. He believed that Qian Renxue's approach had something hidden behind it!
Qian Renxue: "??!"
Fortunately, Qian Renxue didn't know what Yu Tiankong was thinking; otherwise, she would have been greatly shocked. Indeed, her plans were quite grand!
Time passed, and after Yu Tiankong changed his clothes in the hotel, he finally left his room and headed outside.
"Hiss..."
