Chapter 119: Only We Are the Most Suited!

Chapter 119: Only We Are the Most Suited!

Time passed, and after about a quarter of an hour, Xue Beng finally left with a group of spoiled nobles.

"Xiaoxue, you're a Soul Emperor. Why did you use me as a shield?" Kong glanced at Qian Renxue and laughed.

It wasn't really being a shield since Xue Beng wasn't a fool.

Hearing this, Qian Renxue rolled her eyes. Kong had the nerve to mention being a shield? He had directly dragged her out from behind him!

How infuriating!

"Hmph, I'm a Soul Emperor, but aren't you a Soul Saint?"

Just mentioning this made her angry. She had been so genuine in her feelings, but to Kong, this was all just a disguise!

Was she really going to have to use her family's traditional methods?

Thinking about it, Qian Renxue blushed, glanced at Kong, and eventually shook her head, deciding to put it off for now.

Kong's expression suddenly turned serious as he asked, "Xiaoxue, what do you think of Xue Beng?"

Qian Renxue was taken aback and looked at Kong in confusion.

Recalling what had just happened, a flash of killing intent flickered in Qian Renxue's eyes, but quickly disappeared.

"Let's not talk about Xue Beng for now. As for you, the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, even women you're not fond of are willing to give you face."

Qian Renxue smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in her smile.

She had rarely ever been moved, and yet he had made her lose so thoroughly!

"Hmph, I won't give up! In the entire Douluo Continent, only we are the most suited for each other!"

Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and muttered to herself.

Thinking it over, she had only known Kong for less than half a day, so it was natural that they didn't have much emotional foundation. But as time passed, she refused to believe Kong wouldn't fall for her!

Kong glanced at Qian Renxue. This woman was hiding her intentions well. Clearly, she wanted to kill Xue Beng, but she forcefully shifted the topic to avoid it.

Who knew when she would actually make her move?

Killing Xue Beng was easy, but the consequences of killing him were something Qian Renxue had to consider.

After all, Xue Ye had privately instructed "Xue Qinghe" that Xue Beng, being her brother, was just a spoiled brat and wouldn't affect her inheritance of the throne.

Xue Ye's message was simple: let "Xue Qinghe" spare Xue Beng's life.

The Heaven Dou Empire was different from the Star Luo Empire. In Heaven Dou, the emperor decided the crown prince, and there were no internal family feuds or fratricidal struggles for the throne.

In the Star Luo Empire, to become the crown prince, one had to either kill or cripple another contender for the throne. It was a tradition that even the Star Luo Emperor couldn't simply change.

"As long as you're happy," Kong replied indifferently, uninterested in discussing the matter further. Whether or not Xue Beng lived or died had no bearing on his own interests.

The only thing that interested Kong in the Heaven Dou royal family was the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud!

Qian Renxue: "..."

As night fell, after dinner, the two parted ways.

At the Crown Prince's residence, Qian Renxue's face was icy, and beside her, both Ci Xue and She Long were seething with anger.

After all these years, they had been toyed with by a mere Grandmaster!

"Young Master, let me kill him right now!" Ci Xue said furiously, referring to Xue Beng.

It was a great shame that a titled Douluo had failed to detect Xue Beng's abnormalities!

And today, Xue Beng had dared to flirt with Qian Renxue—this was already a path to death!

The mix of old and new grudges made Ci Xue's rage boil over!

She Long was also furious, but he was more composed than Ci Xue.

"Now's not the time!" She Long cautioned.

"Uncle She Long is right, Uncle Ci Xue. We'll wait three months and find the right opportunity to kill him," Qian Renxue calmly said, tapping her finger on the table.

Xue Beng's issue was a minor one. Lacking patience would lead to major mistakes. They needed a careful plan!

Kong, however, was the bigger problem.

His resistance to beauty was both a blessing and a curse in Qian Renxue's eyes.

The curse lay in the fact that her external advantages were completely ineffective on him.

The blessing was that once Kong accepted her, it meant he would be loyal for life...

Hearing her words, Ci Xue's anger subsided somewhat, and he nodded. In this group, Qian Renxue, their young master, led them. What she said was final.

"Xue Beng really hid himself deeply!"

Wait a minute, had they fallen into a trap of their own thinking? Could it be possible that this whole 'spoiled noble' persona wasn't an act by Xue Beng at all?

After all, even spoiled nobles aren't complete fools. They can discern who they can afford to offend and who they cannot, right?

Basic manners—would even a spoiled noble be devoid of them? Feigning behavior on the surface is almost too simple.

"It doesn't matter if he's pretending or not. The moment he dared to harass our young master, his life was already forfeit."

She Long said this calmly, without any trace of killing intent or emotion. But the more composed he seemed, the more terrifying it was!

Wanting to kill someone without displaying any killing intent is, in fact, the deadliest approach.

Qian Renxue had been raised under the watchful eyes of She Long and Ci Xue. Although she was their young master, to them, she was more like a daughter.

How could they tolerate such an affront to her?

After discussing how to make Xue Beng disappear, the three of them returned to their usual composure.

"Young Master, there's still no news of that young man, Yu Tiankong, or his female companion," Ci Xue weakly remarked.

It was truly strange. He had mobilized the full power and connections of the Spirit Hall to investigate this woman, yet found nothing of value!

This made Ci Xue not only puzzled but also gave him a headache. They were the most powerful force on the entire Douluo Continent, yet they couldn't track down a single person. Or perhaps, it was as if she had materialized out of thin air.

How could this not give Ci Xue a headache?

Originally, She Long had been in charge of the search. When he admitted he couldn't find anything, Ci Xue scoffed, thinking his old friend She Long was useless. So, he took the task upon himself.

Now Ci Xue thought: I'm just as useless!

"Stop the search," Qian Renxue shook her head. "If my guess is right, this woman has the same flawless disguise abilities as me. Finding her would be nearly impossible."

Ci Xue and She Long were taken aback. After exchanging glances, they nodded in agreement.

If they hadn't known that "Xue Qinghe" was actually Qian Renxue in disguise, they wouldn't have been able to tell either.

This showed just how terrifying Qian Renxue's disguise skills were.

Trying to find someone capable of such a perfect disguise was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

"It's no longer a matter of whether we can find her," Qian Renxue mused silently to herself.

Meanwhile, Kong, after returning to his hotel room, vanished from his spot and entered the realm of the Pure Land.

At first, he thought he might face some sort of judgment or reckoning.

However, when he saw that Raiden Shogun and Ei showed no reaction, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Husband, come look at these silken stockings made from ice silkworms. They feel too tight..."

"..."
