章節 316: Chapter 316: Su Ming: Qian Renxue, Do You Really Think Dugu Bo Is That Foolish?

Qian Renxue listened to Su Ming's words, admitting he made a good point, but she countered, "It's said that Dugu Bo may be reclusive, but he values loyalty. Prince Xue Xing saved his life, and he's close to Xue Beng, so it seems reasonable for him to help Xue Beng, usually just cleaning up after his messes."

Su Ming shook his head. "From what I've seen in the past few months, Old Monster Dugu may be loyal, but he's no fool. If Xue Beng didn't have some tricks up his sleeve and Dugu Bo saw through him, he wouldn't support him."

"After all, his loyalty lies with Prince Xue Xing, and he's likely done enough to repay that debt. If that's the case, why would Dugu Bo continue to help Xue Beng? He's always emphasized that he wants to remain free from factional influence, yet by siding with Xue Beng, he's openly affiliated with a prince. People will assume Dugu Bo is backing Xue Beng. Imagine—a mere fourth prince with a Titled Douluo protector, while the 'crown prince' of the Heaven Dou Empire might not even have a Contra as a guard, let alone a Titled Douluo."

"Ning Fengzhi may be your mentor, but only in name; his allegiance is with the empire. He likely gives you face for Emperor Xue Ye's sake, but I bet you already know he doesn't fully trust you."

Qian Renxue was speechless; she knew Ning Fengzhi's mentorship was a formality, but Su Ming's bluntness was startling.

At that moment, a guard called out from outside the hall, announcing, "Your Highness, the luncheon is prepared."

Qian Renxue responded in her practiced male voice, "Understood. You may go."

Su Ming nodded, "Well, I've said my piece. There's definitely something suspicious about Xue Beng; go investigate for yourself. He's good at hiding his true colors, or maybe he's just indulging himself for the time being. A prince playing the spoiled brat? He'd fit right in, enjoying his life while waiting for a chance to strike."

Without waiting for Qian Renxue's response, Su Ming strode toward the exit.

Today's meeting with Qian Renxue had indeed been full of surprises. He hadn't expected her to drop the act so quickly. Originally, he had planned to tease... er, probe her more, but this development made things simpler. With Qian Renxue dropping her disguise, it'd be easier for Su Ming to connect with her openly. After all, building rapport with a supposed man would have led people to misunderstand his intentions toward "Xue Qinghe."

Although he told Qian Renxue he only wanted to be friends, he was playing a calculated game. A woman as proud as Qian Renxue wouldn't easily tolerate sharing her partner, so he was aiming to win her over slowly.

At worst, building a positive relationship with Qian Renxue would do him no harm. Who knows? Friendship might one day blossom into romance.

While Su Ming believed the chances were slim, he couldn't forget that in the original story, Qian Renxue had fallen for her enemy. Given time, she might not mind him having multiple partners. The future held many possibilities.

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue mulled over Su Ming's insights. Realization dawned on her; why hadn't she thought of this? She had believed she could leave Xue Beng untouched, viewing him as a harmless spoiled prince. But Su Ming's words rang true—leaving loose ends posed a risk.

She turned to her two protectors and asked, "Snake Spear, Porcupinefish, what do you make of Su Ming's assessment?"

After a brief silence, Snake Spear spoke, "Young Mistress, Su Ming makes a good point. Leaving Xue Beng unchecked could be a risk. Perhaps we should take action, arranging an 'accident' to remove him."

"However, using poison again would be unwise. It'd be better to wait until Xue Beng leaves the capital, then arrange an accident. We could even ask Ghost Douluo to eliminate him silently."

Porcupinefish, the more temperamental of the two, cut in, "Why make things so complicated? Xue Beng's already known for his debauchery. Have him die in bed. Make it look like one of his usual parties with the nobles turned deadly, then blame the whole thing on some lower-level noble or courtesan."

Qian Renxue's eyes lit up. Xue Beng's image as a libertine was well-known. Why not use that to her advantage? She could arrange for him to take a highly addictive aphrodisiac, one that would cause his health to gradually deteriorate until he wasted away. His demise would be attributed to his indulgent lifestyle, especially as he grew visibly weaker over time.

Satisfied with this plan, Qian Renxue considered the specifics, though it would require careful preparation. Today's diary entry from Su Ming might reveal even more insights.

She activated her spirit bone's transformation ability, returning to her Xue Qinghe disguise, and instructed her guards, "Both of you, withdraw for now. Once I've refined the details, I'll give further instructions."

Snake Spear and Porcupinefish exchanged glances before respectfully replying, "As you wish, Young Mistress."

The two Titled Douluos melted back into the shadows, their concealment artifacts rendering them undetectable except to someone with Su Ming's unique talents.

After finishing lunch, Su Ming returned to the academy and began documenting his experience in his diary. Meeting Qian Renxue face-to-face was a significant moment, and he couldn't help but shake his head at her character in the original story. Here was someone blessed with both beauty and intelligence, yet burdened with an undeniable weakness—she was a hopeless romantic.

A romantic streak wasn't necessarily bad, but it was dangerous when misdirected, especially when it led her to fall for her mortal enemy!

Entry: Today, I finally found the time to visit "Prince Xue Qinghe"—that is, Qian Renxue. Apparently, when she heard about my run-in with Xue Beng, she wanted to apologize on his behalf. It's a pity I've been so busy these past few months, always out of town after enrolling at Heaven Dou Academy. When I met her today, her expression was practically oozing with disappointment and… resentment? It was hilarious!

章節 317: Chapter 317: Two Jealous Girls, Zhu Zhuqing Realizes Her Feelings for Su Ming?

Qian Renxue: She was still within her expectations; as long as Su Ming mentioned her, it was enough. Now, she eagerly awaited the midnight reward, completely unaware that Su Ming's next diary entry would lead her to question everything. Was the Qian Renxue in Su Ming's diary even the same person as her?

Meanwhile, the other female protagonists were closely following today's diary, thrilled that Su Ming had finally resumed his entries. In the past three months, his updates had been sporadic, not the consistent daily entries he once wrote.

The women understood that Su Ming had been busy over the past couple of months. He had to visit Sunset Forest to detoxify Dugu Bo, enhance his spirit power with new techniques, and gather rare herbs to boost the abilities of the female leads. Additionally, he was focused on producing talismans and later traveled to Holy Soul Village to relocate villagers and create the appearance of desolation there. Still, they felt that none of this justified him abandoning his diary!

Some, especially those with a closer relationship with Su Ming, were more lenient. After all, a few days without the baseline spirit power increase didn't matter much to them. But for others, who hadn't even met Su Ming yet, those extra power gains were precious!

For the more powerful women, like Bibi Dong, Bo Saixi, and Liu Erlong, those daily increments became even more valuable. Since they started at high levels, the percentage of spirit power they gained with each reward was relatively low, but the increase was substantial. It could save them days, even months, of arduous cultivation.

For Bo Saixi, it was particularly crucial. With the system's help, she could now accumulate spirit power again. However, the jump from Level 99 to Level 100 to achieve godhood demanded an unimaginable amount of spirit power. By her estimate, accumulating the necessary power could take centuries, even with painstaking effort. Including the required enlightenment process, it might take even longer!

But here lay the issue—Level 99 Titled Douluos could only live for a few hundred years, far less than the time required. Therefore, the system's guaranteed power rewards represented her one true hope for reaching godhood!

Diary Entry: "After a series of subtle probes, Qian Renxue surprised me by taking me into her personal chambers, where she revealed her true form. I must admit, Qian Renxue is indeed a rare beauty; if we were to compare, even Xiao Wu and Rongrong can't quite match her in looks and figure!"

Xiao Wu: ... Ning Rongrong: ... Both girls, reading Su Ming's description, wanted to march right over to him and twist his ear! How could he say someone else was prettier than them? It was so infuriating that they almost wanted to see Qian Renxue for themselves to understand what made her so beautiful!

Far away in the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong noticed Su Ming's detailed description of her daughter and couldn't help but twitch a bit. Su Ming really did write whatever he thought in his diary!

Diary Entry: "When I first saw 'Xue Qinghe,' I used my Fiery Eyes to see her true identity, and while I was momentarily surprised, the impact of seeing Qian Renxue without any disguise was something else entirely!"

Diary Entry: "To put it simply, Qian Renxue is a woman of both beauty and intelligence. If it weren't for some of her peculiar choices later on, she wouldn't have ended up with a shattered godhood, falling from her pedestal and being forever stuck at Level 89. Afterward, she was reduced to little more than a pawn for breeding, as many sought her bloodline due to her beauty and her divine Six-Winged Angel martial spirit."

Qian Renxue had become somewhat desensitized to these remarks, though Su Ming's earlier references were less specific. She still couldn't understand how she had ended up with such a tragic fate.

Diary Entry: "Qian Renxue's voice seemed to have a special charm that I couldn't help but be captivated by until I came to my senses. Then I developed a bit of resistance, but it makes sense. Qian Renxue is a beautiful older woman, around ten years older than me, and at twelve years old, she exerts a different kind of pull than Xiao Wu and Rongrong."

Diary Entry: "However, it's not a big deal. Now that I'm prepared, I won't lose composure again. And comparing Xiao Wu and Rongrong to Qian Renxue isn't entirely fair."

Diary Entry: "Although the two are considered adults in this world, they're not fully developed yet. Six years later, after the five-year gap following the Soul Master competition, their true beauty will emerge. In my view, they won't fall short of Qian Renxue's beauty—each will have her unique appeal!"

Reading this, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong felt somewhat mollified. Yes, after all, they weren't fully grown yet! But then, there was Zhu Zhuqing, an exception among them. How could she already have such a figure at twelve years old? It seemed that the Hell Civet martial spirit had provided a powerful boost!

As Su Ming described Qian Renxue, Zhu Zhuqing felt a strange emotion stir within her—a faint, uncomfortable feeling that, upon reflection, left her shocked. Did she… like Su Ming?

She had never seen Su Ming that way before. Of course, he was handsome and strong, and she owed much to him for the benefits she'd received from the system through him.

Her initial thought had been that, in the future, if Su Ming needed her help, she would gladly offer it, even if her contribution seemed small compared to what Su Ming could accomplish on his own.

But when had she started to feel differently toward Su Ming? Was it during the Star Dou Forest expedition a month ago? Had his actions there moved her and sparked a new feeling in her heart?

The forest trip had been just one trigger. More likely, the moments she felt unsettled or uncomfortable had imprinted Su Ming in her heart, now surfacing fully.

Despite this revelation, she wasn't prepared to confess her feelings to Su Ming. She wasn't completely sure of her feelings and needed time to sort them out. Besides, she was still engaged to Dai Mubai, and to be with Su Ming would mean dragging him into conflicts with both the Xingluo royal family and the Zhu family, which would be dangerous for him.

Su Ming was still developing his strength, and she couldn't risk dragging him down—at least not now.

Diary Entry: "The reason Qian Renxue revealed her true self was that she noticed the shift in my eyes when I used my Fiery Eyes to see through her disguise. After my continuous attempts to probe her, she sensed my intentions. In the end, I played myself, didn't I?"
