~7 min read 1,318 words

Qian Renxue spent a massive amount of time cultivating a body double,

disguising him in every aspect to become the current him.

From his speech, gait, daily routine, and character, down to how he ate and changed clothes,

and most importantly, his memories and abilities,

it could be said that if Qian Renxue did not come,

then he would be the true Emperor Xue Qinghe.

"Tell me what you have done over these past few years."

Qian Renxue said indifferently.

"Yes, Master,"

Qian Renxue's double slowly recounted everything he had done over these years,

and Qian Renxue was very satisfied as she listened,

especially regarding one point:

he had taken no concubines and had no harem,

and the only harem member, Empress Ye Lin, was not in the Imperial Palace but was out cultivating.

Furthermore, after Ye Lin returned from cultivation, he did not go to find Ye Lin,

so as to avoid exposure, quietly waiting for Qian Renxue's arrival.

However, he had put in a great deal of effort for this,

as countless ministers wanted to send their daughters to the Emperor's side,

but all were refused, without exception,

and the pressure on him was immense.

Fortunately, he had withstood it all.

Qian Renxue's hand rested gently on his head,

and a wisp of faint Divine Power surged,

allowing Qian Renxue to become familiar with all of the double's memories.

What he told her did not contain a shred of falsehood,

and he was clearly loyal to her.

Qian Renxue suddenly smiled,

for if there had been any false parts,

then this double would not need to be kept,

and she could find a second one just as she had found the first.

"Does the Tiandou Empire only have eight provinces left now?"

"The current situation is that the combat power of the Tiandou Empire and the Spirit Empire is about the same, while the strength of the Xingluo Empire is the weakest."

The entire continent has a total of twenty provinces; the Tiandou Empire occupies eight, the Spirit Empire occupies eight, and the Xingluo Empire occupies four.

The territory of the Xingluo Empire is only half that of the two great empires.

"Prepare yourself; we will take back the province where Jialing Pass is located,"

"Then, using that as a base, we will split the Spirit Empire in two, take the western half of the Spirit Empire, then gradually annex the Xingluo Empire, and finally take all of the Spirit Empire,"

"Unifying the Douluo Continent in one fell swoop!"

This was the policy and plan that Qian Renxue had temporarily set for the Tiandou Empire to follow.

After finishing all this,

she quickly left the Imperial Palace and, accompanied by guards, arrived at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy to look for Ye Lin.

Having not seen her for so many years, she could truly say she had missed her to death,

and although she knew her thoughts might be somewhat wrong,

and a bit contrary to common sense,

she was very certain that she,

had fallen in love with Ye Lin,

and she wanted to make Ye Lin her Empress!

When Emperor Xue Qinghe appeared here,

Shrek Academy suddenly erupted into a stir,

and Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the original three committee members quickly came to welcome her.

Qian Renxue did not think too much about it,

and simply asked one question,

"Dean Flender,"

"Where is Ye Lin? I want to see her."

Flender quickly said,

"Ye Lin has gone out and is not currently at the academy. When Ye Lin returns, I will certainly go to the Imperial Palace to inform Your Majesty immediately."

"She is not here?"

Although Flender said so,

Qian Renxue would not easily believe it,

and her vast divine sense quickly swept across the entire Shrek Academy,

not even sparing the underground.

It is true that Ye Lin was not found,

but she did find a little girl who looked extremely similar to Ye Lin,

and by her side were three Spirit Beasts that had taken human form!

Their age was not low either!

Among them, there was one that even she could not Pierce through.

Under the sweep of Qian Renxue's divine sense,

Xiong Er instantly became alert.

He spoke solemnly to Daming and Erming,

"Daming, Erming,"

Daming and Erming also sensed that something was wrong, and he quickly said,

"Brother Xiong, what are your orders?"

Xiong Er spoke slowly,

"If a battle breaks out in a moment, you two must protect the little master well."

"And stay right behind me, not leaving even a single step."

At this moment, Daming and Erming also realized the seriousness of the matter and nodded heavily,

"Everything will be as Brother Xiong says."

Strange!

Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment and could not help but ask Flender,

"This place is truly interesting,"

"It even has people who are Spirit Beasts in human form."

Flender smiled slightly,

"Those were all left behind by Ye Lin; they are all Spirit Beasts raised by Ye Lin, used to protect Xiao Ye."

Qian Renxue muttered to herself, a bad premonition arising in her heart,

"Is that child called Xiao Ye?"

"Where did that child come from?"

Flender looked at Qian Renxue with some confusion,

"Your Majesty, isn't that your and Ye Lin's child, the princess of the empire?"

Qian Renxue's heart gave a violent Shake.

It was actually Ye Lin's child!

Ye Lin had a child with another man!

How could this be!

She had only gone away to cultivate for five years,

yet Ye Lin's child already looked five or six years old,

what on earth was going on!

"Take me to see her."

Very quickly, Qian Renxue met Xiao Ye.

When she saw Xiao Ye,

her first feeling was that she was alike,

simply too alike,

she was carved from the exact same mold as Ye Lin.

Although she did not know which bastard man had violated Ye Lin,

this child was ultimately Ye Lin's,

and she could not help but feel a sense of affection in her heart,

"You are truly beautiful,"

"Exactly the same as your mother; how old are you?"

Xiao Ye laughed happily,

"Five years old."

Xiong Er sensed that Qian Renxue had no malicious intent,

but in his heart, he still dared not relax,

maintaining a high level of vigilance,

the little master's safety was the priority.

Qian Renxue gently touched Xiao Ye's head,

then looked at Xiong Er,

"Shall we talk?"

Xiong Er nodded,

"Xiao Ye, could you go out and play with Uncle Niu and Uncle Tai for a while?"

Xiao Ye had been sensible since she was small; she agreed and went out with Daming and Erming,

"Okay,"

Qian Renxue sat down casually on a chair.

Getting straight to the point, she asked Xiong Er,

"What is your relationship with Ye Lin?"

Xiong Er said,

"She is my master."

Qian Renxue continued to ask,

"Who is the child's father?"

Xiong Er shook his head gently,

"I don't know either, Master never told me,"

"I only know that I must protect the little master's safety."

"Also, I know that you are very dangerous."

Qian Renxue nodded and did not ask anything further,

there was nothing to hide here,

since he said he didn't know, then in all likelihood he really didn't know.

"Where did Ye Lin go?"

Xiong Er pondered for a moment,

"She might have gone to the Star Dou Great Forest,"

"She went in response to Tang San's invitation."
