Chapter 264: Qian Renxue Cries from Being Bullied by Luo Yu!!_1

Xue Qinghe was struck as if by lightning, his body trembling nonstop.

The Snow Night Emperor burst into hearty laughter, walked over with satisfaction, and gave him a firm pat on the shoulder.

"You truly are my filial son, excited to such an extent upon the news of your father's complete recovery."

"Rest assured, now that your father has recovered, I will certainly help you consolidate the empire's political power and lay the foundation for your succession."

"In twenty or thirty years, you'll inherit a mighty Tiandou Empire."

"How about it, are you pleased?"

"I—am very pleased."

Xue Qinghe forced a smile, his speech now slurred, tears welling up in his eyes, yet he still dared not believe it and asked, "Father, have you really completely recovered?"

The Snow Night Emperor lifted his leg and stomped forcefully.

With a booming sound, a spiderweb-like crack appeared on the floor of the great hall.

He smiled and said, "How's that?"

"Isn't it vigorous enough?"

"Your father is now in high spirits, and with the current state of my body, I could take a few more rooms in the harem, and perhaps even give you a few more brothers and sisters."

Hearing this, Xue Qinghe's body shook even more violently, as if he was about to keel over.

The Snow Night Emperor saw Xue Qinghe's excitement, a clear attempt to hold back tears.

His gaze was moved as well.

He could see clearly that Xue Qinghe wasn't pretending but truly wanted to cry, and tears had already started to swirl in his eyes.

Ah, where could one find such a good son?

To be so excited upon hearing of his father's recovery.

Xue Qinghe wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, took a deep breath, and steadied his trembling body.

"Father, your son is curious."

"This poison was so vicious, and no one in the Tiandou Empire could cure it. How did you recover?"

"Of course, I met a divine doctor, who was simply miraculously rejuvenating. It only took minutes for him to cure the poison for me."

Xue Qinghe stretched a smile, his breathing rapid, "May I ask, Father, which divine doctor cured your poison? Your son must visit him personally to give thanks!!"

"That divine doctor is someone you know, Luo Yu from within Yuexuan."

Xue Qinghe exclaimed in surprise, "He cured you? He knows how to cure poison???"

"Yes," the Snow Night Emperor exclaimed, "A deadly poison that all of the Tiandou Empire couldn't cure became mere trifles in his mouth, not worth mentioning."

"Mere trifles?" Xue Qinghe's eyes widened, his head buzzing.

"My son, I have a task for you."

"What task?"

"Put aside your recent affairs and make sure to form a good relationship with Luo Yu. This lad is not ordinary, and if we could win him over to the Tiandou Empire, even Martial Soul Hall would be stepped under our feet."

"Is he that formidable?" Xue Qinghe asked in surprise.

"Don't doubt your father's judgment," continued the Snow Night Emperor, "Our family's State-Defending Divine Instrument, the Boundless Universe Shield, also reacted peculiarly in his presence, automatically acknowledging him as its master."

"Do you think this lad could be ordinary?"

"If he grows up, one day he will surely be able to help you crush Martial Soul Hall and unify Soul Land."

"Your son understands what to do," Xue Qinghe said seriously, his voice resounding with conviction.

"That's good to hear," nodded the Snow Night Emperor, "Tomorrow I will draft a decree to appoint him as Heavenly King of our empire and give Xue Ke to him as his wife."

Xue Qinghe smiled, a very friendly smile.

...

"Crash!!"

"Creak-crack!!"

In a hidden house in Tiandou City, the sound of smashing things could be heard continuously.

Two people stood guard at the door.

Snake Spear Douluo's eyelids twitched as he glanced at the house.

"What's gotten into the young lady? She starts smashing things as soon as she gets back and doesn't say a word."

```

Porcupine Douluo glared and said, "You ask me, but whom should I ask?"

"It's the first time I've seen the young lady lose her composure and fly into such a rage."

"Bang!"

Something heavy slammed against the doorframe, causing Snake Spear Douluo to shrink his neck and lower his voice.

"What could have happened to make our young lady so angry?"

"Hmph, don't guess at the young lady's thoughts. Just do your duty and guard the door," Porcupine Douluo snorted.

Snake Spear Douluo looked up at the sky, his voice laced with a hint of relief as he sighed, "It's coming soon. This door won't be able to hold much longer. The Snow Night Emperor is seriously ill; our mission will soon be complete."

"The day we return to Martial Soul Hall isn't far off."

Porcupine Douluo echoed, "Yes, we've been lying in wait for so many years, and soon we'll reap the fruits of our labor."

A look of pride crossed his face.

"With the compound poison I meticulously prepared, does the Snow Night Emperor have even a chance of surviving?"

"Even I can't cure this poison. I don't believe anyone in Soul Land can. The Snow Night Emperor is bound to die, and our plan is destined for success, with no chance of failure."

The sound of things being smashed inside the room stopped at that moment.

The two great Douluos exchanged glances.

"Shall we go in and have a look?" Snake Spear Douluo said with concern.

"Okay," Porcupine Douluo nodded.

The moment they pushed open the door, they were startled.

The bed, the table inside the room were completely shattered, and broken porcelain fragments from vases were scattered everywhere, as if a tornado had swept through, leaving no place to even set foot.

"Young lady, what happened to you??" Porcupine Douluo exclaimed in shock.

His gaze turned to the strikingly beautiful silhouette crouched against the wall, hugging her knees to her back.

There was no response.

The two great Douluos approached and their pupils contracted.

Qian Renxue, with her golden hair and purple eyes, normally had an aura as pure and coldly beautiful as a goddess from the heavens, especially when adorned in a full-length gold dress complemented by the Seraph's light shadow between her brows, which highlighted her nobility further.

But now, her beautiful eyes lacked any sparkle.

She clenched her small hands, white as jade, tightly.

Her long, shapely legs were trembling as if she had received some major shock.

The two great Douluos had never seen her in such a state; they were momentarily panicked.

In their minds, Qian Renxue was always strong, composed, detailed, never as helpless and pitiable as she was now.

"Young lady, what's happened to you?"

"If you've got something to say, just tell us. Whoever has bullied you, we will fight to our last breath to take them down!"

The rims of Qian Renxue's eyes reddened, and her normally clear, cold voice had a few more hoarse notes.

"Ten years of effort gone in an instant!"

"For ten years, I've infiltrated Tiandou Empire."

"All for the sake of taking over the power of the Tiandou Empire."

"How much effort have I put in over these ten years? Every day I had to pretend to be someone else, sacrificing the prime years of my life, and just when the mission was about to be complete, you appeared and ruined everything?"

Qian Renxue stood up, her jade-like hand pounding the wall.

The wall collapsed and burst open, creating a hollow.

She bit her silver teeth tightly, the voice squeezing out from between her teeth filled with deep resentment and hatred.

"Luo Yu!!!"

"Do you know what these ten years have been like for me?"

"Luo Yu!"

"I, Qian Renxue, swear I will kill you."

"Ah—"

"I can't endure it, not even a minute or a second longer. I can't stand this humiliation!"

"I'm going to kill you today; just you wait!"
