Soul Ring?
Soul Bone?
Or some special Soul Skill...
or perhaps something that still crosses the realm of gods?
Thinking of these things,
even the usually calm and composed Qian Renxue couldn't help but swallow hard, her breathing becoming heavier.
She knew that since Zhuge Lan had said so
, he definitely wouldn't tell her the answer now. She
might even fall into his trap and be thoroughly teased.
But Qian Renxue still couldn't help but be moved.
In the end,
in her despairing eyes, her slender, white fingers couldn't help but reach out.
"Tell me what the reward is, what the compensation is, and then I'll tell you if you agree..."
[Emotional Points +23333]
"Eek—"
After doing all this, Qian Renxue suddenly threw away the wave communication soul tool and leaped onto the bed.
She buried her head in the blanket, unable to stop regretting it.
Damn it.
How could I be so impulsive…
Now look what's happened—
that bastard is going to laugh himself to death!
Qian Renxue rolled around on the bed, clutching her blanket, her mind a jumble of emotions: shame, embarrassment, regret, and a sliver of hope. She
couldn't help but toss and turn, trying to burn off her energy.
Thankfully, this was a secluded cultivation chamber.
No outsiders could spy on her.
Otherwise, whether it was the members of the Heaven Dou Imperial City or the elders of the Spirit Hall, they
would be utterly shocked by this scene—
this…this
is not the wise crown prince they knew, the most promising genius to become a god in a hundred years!
This embarrassingly writhing figure on the bed was enough to make everyone feel awkward.
It was truly a vicious cycle.
But it's hard to blame Qian Renxue for this.
Normally, she's quite composed and doesn't react with alarm to anything.
It's just that Zhuge Lan is so infuriating!
Every time she meets him…
Qian Renxue felt her anger reaching its breaking point.
Even just hearing news of the other party later
filled her with shame and indignation—
she blamed everything on Zhuge Lan!
This scoundrel was behind it all.
First, he tempted her with the promise of godhood, then he kept drawing her closer and further away…
slowly luring her into his trap.
"Zhuge Lan, you scoundrel!"
[Emotional Points +55555]
Qian Renxue thought bitterly, feeling her heart growing increasingly sensitive.
It was nothing like the strength she displayed when dealing with others.
A single action, a single word, even a single expression from Zhuge Lan
could easily stir her emotions.
"What on earth is going on?"
"How did I become like this…"
Qian Renxue realized with despair.
Zhuge Lan was simply a devil.
She probably couldn't escape his grasp.
It was only because Qian Renxue had spent these years either cultivating or infiltrating the Heavenly Dou Imperial City, playing the role of the Crown Prince.
She truly knew little about matters of the heart.
If someone with experience were here, they would immediately see through it:
"Young lady, you're in trouble, you're about to fall in love!"
Unfortunately,
Qian Renxue hadn't grasped this yet. She still
believed she was being played by Zhuge Lan, this amusing fellow. Although Zhuge Lan had indeed made a date with her, seemingly harboring some ulterior motive, he was simply too cunning. He hadn't established a relationship with Qian Renxue, nor had he made any favorable promises regarding their feelings. He was clearly trying to get something for nothing! Given this premise, Qian Renxue hadn't considered the possibility of him being attracted to her, and subconsciously dismissed any stirrings of emotion within her. However… the budding of feelings… the girl's innocent, bewildered heartbeat…
How could it be so easily erased?
It was all just a fig leaf left by her pride to cover her shame.
She didn't know when
Qian Renxue would truly understand her own heart.
But that was a matter for later.
Right now, Qian Renxue had no time to think about such things.
Her heart
was increasingly chaotic,
and she was filled with shame and anger.
She had no energy to consider anything else,
only muttering to herself, "Zhuge Lan, you bad guy."
"Zhuge Lan, you bad guy..."
"Bad guy!"
The girl's words became more forceful,
as if she wanted to firmly etch the label of "bad guy" into her impression of Zhuge Lan.
"You jerk, you're so annoying..."
The girl's lips parted slightly, then she pursed her red lips tightly, her bright eyes filled with stubbornness.
Qian Renxue had to make up her mind.
No matter what,
she absolutely couldn't care too much about her relationship with Zhuge Lan.
The more she cared…
the more she would lose. The more she thought about it
, the more likely she was to fall into the other party's trap and be tricked by this villain.
"Hoo—"
"Calm down..."
Qian Renxue let out a soft breath, and her emotions calmed down.
"Qian Renxue, you can do it, you definitely can!"
"Think back to when you were so young." "
You were able to come to the Heavenly Dou Imperial City as an undercover agent, hiding your identity and playing someone else's identity..."
"Put all your emotions inside, and put your disguised emotions out in the open."
"That's the right way to play the game."
"I can't be so easily swayed anymore..."
Her words were calm and peaceful.
The calm girl was as still as a virgin, her expression neither happy nor sad, her beautiful face full of peace.
From afar,
she looked just like a revered, high-ranking god!
Qian Renxue's thoughts were very beautiful. It's
just a pity that she forgot.
Heaven is fair—she was already very beautiful, so how could she think so beautifully?
Sure enough...
in a short while,
the communication soul tool rang again.
Qian Renxue's exquisite and otherworldly appearance shattered instantly.
She used her fastest speed ever, snatching the soul tool in her hand with lightning speed.
She had no time to regret how easily she had broken her composure with Zhuge Lan.
Qian Renxue felt only relief—
thankfully,
she hadn't used too much force.
The soul tool wasn't broken!
After the relief, a huge sense of shame crept into her heart…
Damn it, she had clearly said she wouldn't pay attention to this scoundrel, but she had actually—
Qian Renxue's vision went black.
She felt that the soul tool in her hand no longer felt like a soul tool.
Instead, it felt like a demon.
Like Zhuge Lan, that devil,
offering her a seductive, corrupting smile.
Forget it—
business is more important.
Qian Renxue took two deep breaths, finally shattering the illusion before her.
She was also a little resigned.
Since she couldn't control her inner thoughts, she would just let it be.
Of course,
this resignation wasn't true resignation.
This doesn't mean Qian Renxue has truly given up resisting.
She's simply forced into it by circumstances.
