Chapter 575: Do You Want Me to Be With Bibi Dong?

"Xue'er..."

Qin Jian remained silent for a long while before whispering, "I... have attachments in my heart, and I cannot be alone with you..."

He was no longer the person he once was.

Even though he had already broken up with the others, in his heart, he had never truly separated from them, so he would not deceive Xue Qinghe.

"Qin Jian..."

Xue Qinghe took a deep breath and suddenly said, "Wait for me a moment..."

Qin Jian felt his arms go empty, and when he turned to look, he saw Xue Qinghe flash into the inner chamber.

Could it be that she wanted to...

After only a moment, Xue Qinghe walked out from the inner chamber again, but Qin Jian's pupils slowly dilated slightly.

Women's clothing?

No, that wasn't it...

She had removed her disguise!

She was wearing a one-piece palace gown woven from golden silk; her skin was whiter than snow, her features were stunning, and her long golden hair was draped casually behind her, forming a sharp contrast with the neat palace gown.

Her perfect, curvaceous figure clearly and unmistakably displayed her gender to Qin Jian.

Even though he had anticipated it, when he truly saw her standing before him in her female form, Qin Jian still couldn't help but feel his heart race.

"My name is... Qian Renxue..."

Xue Qinghe, or perhaps Qian Renxue, pursed her lips into a smile, stepped forward slowly, walked toward Qin Jian with a cat-like gait, and lifted her face, her smile enchanting enough to exhaust the mortal world.

"Isn't this what you have always wanted?"

Her soft arms wrapped around Qin Jian's neck, her breath as fragrant as orchids: "I will give myself... in exchange for you belonging only to me for a lifetime, how about that?"

"I..."

Qin Jian looked away with difficulty, forcing his gaze away from her perfect, holy face, and whispered, "Xue'er, I..."

"You can't do it... is that it?"

Qian Renxue suddenly released his neck and slowly took a step back, the hope in her eyes gradually being covered by disappointment.

She stepped back a few paces, turned to look out the window, her eyes calm and profound: "I understood long ago; I have investigated everything you have done over these years clearly, whether it be Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, or Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, or even Hu Liena, and even Bibi Dong..."

"No matter how painful the separations were, in the end, you were never able to let them go..."

She clenched her delicate fists and said in a low voice: "Just like my desire for power and recognition, you cannot let go of any woman you love..."

Qin Jian stepped forward a few paces and embraced her graceful body tightly from behind; a delicate, elegant fragrance drifted from her hair, refreshing his heart.

He had the intention to say, "The one in my arms right now is you," but he still couldn't bring himself to say it.

In the past, he wasn't sure if they would wait for him, or if they would choose someone else after breaking up, but five years had passed, and every one of them was still waiting in the same place; not a single one had given up.

So, how could he say this against his conscience again?

The one in his arms right now was no longer just one person...

"Xue'er... no matter what, I will never let you go either..." he said softly.

"Pfft..."

Qian Renxue couldn't help but unclench her fists and cover her mouth, laughing.

She turned around, her eyes curved: "Qin Jian, I keep discovering that your skin is thicker than I imagined. By saying that, do you want to have them all?"

Her gaze landed on Qin Jian's face, looking at the features that perfectly matched her aesthetic, her eyes slightly hazy.

But slowly, her smile faded.

"Qin Jian..."

She murmured in a low voice: "Let's not talk about the others for now... but Bibi Dong..."

The expression in Qian Renxue's eyes gradually turned into Killing Sword Intent: "I will absolutely never accept sharing a man with Bibi Dong."

Her hand slowly climbed up, cool and refreshing as it covered Qin Jian's cheek: "I made up my mind to be with you precisely because I want to oppose her, to snatch away the man she likes, and let her taste the feeling of wanting something she cannot have herself. So... if you harbor such filthy thoughts, then don't even think about it, because it is absolutely impossible!"

Qin Jian: "..."

This was the real Qian Renxue...

Lacking love since childhood, besides opposing Bibi Dong, she only wanted to satisfy her own desires; how could she ever be willing to share with others, let alone when the object included Bibi Dong.

The current her was just a little girl who wanted to grasp everything she liked in the palm of her hand; she had not yet understood... what love was...

Seeing Qin Jian remain silent, Qian Renxue released him, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said with an expression that was holy yet full of temptation: "Do you want to turn me into a Fallen Angel? Give up on Bibi Dong, and you can have me."

Qin Jian didn't say a word; he scooped her up into his arms, went straight into the inner chamber, and they both fell onto the large bed.

Qian Renxue sank into the soft quilt, her eyes filled with surprise: "You agreed?"

As it turned out, Qin Jian only held her tightly and then lay down himself, saying calmly: "There is still the coronation tomorrow; let's not be too exhausted tonight, get some rest early."

Qian Renxue: "..."

To say he wasn't moved by her would be impossible.

Especially after she removed the disguise of the soul bone, her facial lines appeared softer, and her figure became more supple, which was heart-stirring.

But Qin Jian knew clearly what he was doing; his trust in Qian Renxue was built upon the improvement of his own soul power level, not on the foundation of their natural emotions.

If not for the guidance of the soul power level, he would likely be unable to truly trust Qian Renxue right now, just like with Bibi Dong.

The two of them were almost cut from the same cloth: equally deep in schemes, equally possessive, and equally overbearing.

If he really wanted to get her and Bibi Dong into bed together, he would have to control himself, maneuver and guide them step by step, and add moderate external pressure; it could be said that the road ahead was long and arduous.

Furthermore, what was imminent was that the two of them hadn't even broken up yet...

"You fickle man!"

Seeing that Qin Jian had truly fallen asleep just like that, a flash of shame and annoyance couldn't help but cross Qian Renxue's face.

She felt she had already conceded a lot, willing to share the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall with him; wasn't that enough?

As expected, turning him into a Soul Ring and soul bone to keep on my person is the only way to possess him eternally...

The next day, a grand coronation ceremony was held at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

All the royalty, nobles, and dignitaries were present, looking at Qian Renxue, who stood in the center in full regalia, with varied expressions.

Recently, the reputation of this Crown Prince could be said to be rotten to the core, but unfortunately, Emperor Xueye had passed away, Princess Xue Ke had gone missing, and Ning Rongrong was a Foreign Surname Princess; for a time, there was simply no better choice, and they could only watch her inherit the Heaven Dou Empire.

"My Imperial Father has recently passed away, so let everything be simplified; I ask the royal clansmen to crown me."

Qian Renxue looked at the sea of people in the square below, feeling quite smug and satisfied.

A full twenty years; she had operated in this Imperial Palace for twenty years, and finally, at this moment, she had achieved her goal.

From now on, there would only be one voice in the Heaven Dou Empire: hers!

"Wait! —"

Just as the crown was about to be placed on Qian Renxue's head, an uninvited guest arrived late.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, a group of people walked in from the palace gate.

Leading them was none other than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master, Ning Fengzhi...
