Chapter 586: Living as a Girl for Once

A night of turmoil, yet in the end, there were no deaths or injuries.

After Qian Renxue withdrew, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also lifted their alert, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family began to return, and the Spirit Master army of the Heaven Dou Empire guarding the imperial city was restored.

Qin Jian believed that Qian Renxue would not go so far as to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect again after their agreement.

Because that would mean a complete break with him, and besides, taking revenge on Bibi Dong was what she wanted to do most at this moment.

After spending the night in intimacy with Zhu Zhuqing, Guibao Douluo took her back to the Star Luo Empire.

The Empress of the Heaven Dou Empire had just ascended the throne, and it was the busiest time; Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong were both running around in a constant rush.

Fortunately, Qian Renxue had voluntarily withdrawn the hidden pawns she had planted and pointed out those nobles and officials who were hedging their bets on both sides, so it was much easier for Ning Fengzhi to reorganize.

Next was to compile an official narrative for this succession, such as Emperor Xueye dying of a severe illness, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe passing away unexpectedly, Princess Xue Ke going missing, Foreign Surname Princess Ning Rongrong being entrusted with the task at a critical moment, using the power of the protector sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, to resist the attack from the Elder Palace, and accepting the coronation by the Chief Judge of the Pope Palace, receiving the recognition of the Pope Palace, and so on...

Such a narrative was nine parts true and one part false; even the Heaven Dou soldiers who had personally experienced the turmoil could not tell what was true and what was false.

But with the official side brainwashing them over and over, the glorious image of Her Majesty the Empress would naturally gradually take root in people's hearts.

After several years or even decades, as long as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not fall, Ning Rongrong would always be the great Empress in the history books who was entrusted with the task at a critical moment and led the Heaven Dou Empire through the crisis!

As for what actually happened back then, who knows?

And who would even care...

"Qin Jian, the Spirit Master team from the Elder Palace is just ahead, let's go over together."

A hundred miles outside Heaven Dou City, Qin Jian kept his appointment and met up with Qian Renxue here.

"This time, all the hidden agents in the entire Heaven Dou Empire have been recalled by me. After we all return to Wuhun City, the power held by the Elder Palace will exceed that of the Pope Palace," Qian Renxue said indifferently.

She stood on the hill, but did not look at Qin Jian beside her, only watching the Spirit Master army not far away with a distant gaze.

A light breeze stirred her pale golden long hair, sending over bursts of fragrance, as if the scent of violets.

Qin Jian inhaled gently, filling his chest with that elegant scent, then exhaled slowly, calming his state of mind.

"Xue'er, we aren't going back to Wuhun City with them," he suddenly said.

Qian Renxue glanced at him in surprise: "Then how do you plan to go back?"

Qin Jian took her hand without a trace and said with a smile: "How about we two go back by ourselves?"

Qian Renxue struggled slightly but couldn't break free, and was distracted by his words: "Why should we go back by ourselves?"

Qin Jian gripped her jade-smooth hand tightly, looked into her eyes, and said earnestly: "Xue'er, do you want to experience the life of an ordinary girl?"

"An ordinary girl's... life?"

A hint of bewilderment appeared in Qian Renxue's eyes: "What is that like?"

Having infiltrated the Heaven Dou Imperial Family at the age of 6, she had never had a life as a girl. From the time she could remember, what accompanied her was "must not be exposed, must not be exposed, must not be exposed." Besides that, there was only inheriting the throne and eliminating competitors.

And what her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, had people send her was never anything for Spirit Master cultivation, but political struggles and power schemes.

It could be said that in her nearly twenty-plus years of life, there was almost never a moment she lived as a girl.

Even her relationship with Qin Jian had progressed in a half-male, half-female state.

So, she really didn't know what a girl's life was like...

"If you don't know, then just experience it properly..."

Qin Jian looked at her softly: "Although your true identity being exposed meant you couldn't inherit the Heaven Dou Empire, at least from now on, you are just yourself, living as Qian Renxue, not Xue Qinghe."

"I am just myself..."

Qian Renxue looked at her own fair, delicate hands: "Can I really do that?"

Qin Jian pressed his Soul Guidance Device, took out a mirror, held it up before her eyes, and said: "Xue'er, look, without the soul bone disguise, you don't have neutral features, but the most pure and flawless girl's appearance. I believe that in this world, almost no one is more beautiful than you. If there is..."

His words paused, and Qian Renxue's gaze immediately shot over like a knife: "And what if there is?"

Qin Jian smiled: "If there is, then it must be based on subjective judgment."

For instance, the perfect appearance and figure of Na'er that he had imagined himself...

"Qin Jian..."

Qian Renxue stepped closer to him, tilted her face up, and stared at him: "Between me and Bibi Dong, who is more beautiful?"

Qin Jian: "..."

Of all things to talk about, why talk about looks... Now he had dug a hole for himself...

"Each has their own merits, each has their own merits. You are both the most beautiful women on the Dalu," he said with a sheepish laugh.

Qian Renxue was naturally not satisfied: "Then what about judging subjectively? Didn't you say that if someone is more beautiful than me, it must be based on subjective judgment? Then, is Bibi Dong the person you consider more beautiful than me in your heart?"

"It's not like that, Xue'er..."

Qin Jian's brain was running at high speed, while he said with a straight face: "Your beauty is at the peak of the Dalu. No matter who you ask to distinguish, they couldn't objectively say who is more beautiful. As for subjectively..."

He paused, meeting Qian Renxue's pale golden eyes and said: "That also depends on the scene. After all, everyone has their own highlight moments; in those scenes, no one can compare."

"Oh?"

Qian Renxue smiled without smiling: "Then why don't you tell me, in what scenes are Bibi Dong and I most beautiful respectively?"

Life, oh life...

Either you are in an Asura Field, or you are on the way to an Asura Field...

Qin Jian knew that when facing existences like Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, one must not say insincere words, otherwise, he didn't know what kind of trouble they would stir up with them.

So he thought for a moment and told the truth: "The time Bibi Dong was most beautiful was after I returned from Slaughter City. She had transplanted flowers and plants from the Star Dou Great Forest in the Pope Palace, specially improved the black pepper steak, and then took the initiative to grab my hand..."

His eyes carried a hint of reminiscence: "Although her technique was still very clumsy, that desire of hers to make amends made me feel... she was most beautiful at that moment."

Qian Renxue was silent for a long while.

"I know. Before you entered Slaughter City, she used our Elder Palace's ambush to plot against you once. If you hadn't had a magical spear, you would have already died at her hands..."

She recounted the events like she knew them by heart: "Later you broke off relations, you and Hu Liena went to Slaughter City together, and then three years later you returned from Slaughter City..."

Qian Renxue looked up at him and asked with some curiosity: "She once tried to hunt you to obtain a soul ring and soul bone; why were you still able to forgive her?"
