Chapter 139: Keyword Invasion of the Heart Pulse

There are less than five days left until the day Nan Feihuang and Xun Yu return to Gulei Royal Academy.

But even if only one day remained, as long as they were still at the academy, the two had to attend their studies.

It was just that these past few days, Nan Feihuang had truly suffered.

A piece of news had spread throughout the entire academy: because Nan Feihuang was about to go home, Yu Tianheng had challenged the Flying General for the hundredth, and also the final, time; originally, everyone thought he would meet his hundredth defeat.

Yet the result was unexpected.

Nan Feihuang was defeated, and defeated in an inexplicable way, gradually becoming a topic of conversation for many after their meals.

"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard? The Flying General was instantly defeated by Yu Tianheng."

"I know, I know. I even went to watch that match. That Yu Tianheng didn't even release his martial soul; he just said one harsh sentence, and the Flying General fell to the ground with a thud."

"What kind of harsh sentence is so powerful? It could actually instantly defeat the Flying General. I'll go try it later too. If I can defeat the Flying General, who is known as being ever-victorious, my name will surely ring throughout Tiandou City."

Yes, the reason Nan Feihuang was defeated was precisely because of this inexplicable illness; as for the meddlesome person those people said had spread the matter, it was naturally Xun Yu.

"Keywords... invading the heart pulse?" Xue Qinghe said blankly, hearing of this illness for the first time, and upon learning that the keyword causing Nan Feihuang's illness was the character 'Qian', she finally couldn't help but burst into a laugh.

"The key isn't the harsh words, but the 'Qian' character in the words. According to meddlesome people, the Flying General seems to have fallen ill with something called 'Keywords invading the heart pulse'; he has been very sensitive to this 'Qian' character lately."

"Big Brother, you're still laughing! Feihuang-ge is about to have an affair, and you don't care about me at all! Damn it, don't let me find out who that vixen with the name containing 'Qian' is, or this Princess will definitely teach her a lesson." At this moment, Xue Ke, because of her jealousy, had already forgotten all the etiquette Tang Yuehua had taught her to the back of her mind.

"Big Brother, you must stand up for me. I don't want Feihuang-ge to like anyone else. Even if he wants to take a concubine, it should be after he marries me." Xue Ke complained to Xue Qinghe.

She felt this little fellow who admired her was too cute; just because his confession was rejected by her, he actually developed such an illness.

"Haha, to think there is such an illness in this world."

Xue Ke thought the same; for a man to be so sentimental, it must be because of a beauty, right? This made her instantly jealous, because her name did not contain the character 'Qian', which meant the person causing Nan Feihuang's illness was another woman.

"The sentence is, 'Feihuang, you must go all out in this match, absolutely do not show mercy!'"

It can be seen that he really cares about her.

Even though Nan Feihuang was so pitiful, she inexplicably felt very happy.

"Eh, this counts as a harsh sentence? It's very ordinary, isn't it?"

But Nan Feihuang was different; he already had a proper fiancée in Xue Ke. Taking a concubine was no problem, and she was willing to accept it—after all, how could the future King only have her as a woman? But it had to be after taking a wife.

Her complaint was well-founded and logical. The reason Nan Feihuang's father, Nan Tianchen, took a concubine back then was because before meeting Lan Xue, he had neither a sweetheart nor a fiancée, so for the sake of the royal bloodline's inheritance, he could take two secondary consorts first.

There was no help for it; Nan Feihuang being instantly defeated was too shameful to spread. Instead, saying it this way made everyone know that in terms of strength, Nan Feihuang still far surpassed Yu Tianheng, and was just not in a good state recently.

Moreover, many people felt this little fellow was very interesting. They didn't know what kind of stimulation he had received to be so sensitive to the character 'Qian'. Everyone collectively guessed that he had most likely suffered a heartbreak.

"Uh..." Xue Qinghe was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

How was she supposed to care about this? Could she tell her sister that the target her fiancé wanted to have an affair with was her?

Also, when did she become a vixen? One must know that what she hated most was a flirtatious vixen; there was one in the Spirit Hall who had snatched away all the maternal love that should have been hers to enjoy.

Furthermore, what was this about taking a concubine after marriage? First of all, she could never be a concubine, and secondly, although the engagement existed, whether the two of you could actually make it was still an unknown. There weren't many years left until her plan officially began.

As long as Bibi Dong started the Soul Hunting Operation over there, she would also simultaneously proceed with her plan to usurp the throne.

By then, the Heaven Dou Imperial Court would be in chaos; who would still have the heart to care about the two of you and your engagement?

She indicated that she was not intentionally trying to ruin this fake sister's marriage; it was just an accidental side effect.

At worst, when she becomes a god in the future, she would grant her a free and peaceful life as compensation.

"It seems I must go see Feihuang again, otherwise... pfft!" Thinking about it, Xue Qinghe laughed again. Nan Feihuang's illness of 'keywords invading the heart pulse' had truly struck a soft spot in her heart.

To be moved just by hearing a name—this was the first time someone had loved her to such an extent.

This time, she had magnificently misunderstood again.

Huyan Jueluo Xiu's 'keywords invading the heart pulse' was indeed caused by loving Sun Shangxiang too much, while Nan Feihuang's was caused by being too conflicted about falling for someone he shouldn't, and he was currently feeling depressed.

"Damn Wenruo, actually leaking such a shameful matter of mine. Now nobody is discussing the fact that I was instantly defeated by Tianheng, and my reputation regarding strength is successfully preserved, but now the whole world knows I was rejected by a girl whose name contains 'Qian'. As the dignified Flying General, where can I put my face?"

Nan Feihuang only wanted to go back and hide under the covers and not see anyone. Having reigned supreme at Heaven Dou Royal Academy for three years and served as the Shouxixi for three years, he had expected to complete his life as an Exchange Student perfectly, but he hadn't expected to lose his integrity in the final few days.

"Yo, Flying General, you must 'Qian' (thousand) times take care of your health!"

"Sigh, Junior Feihuang, you have been at our academy for over a 'Qian' (thousand) days. Learning that you are leaving soon, this senior is truly reluctant to see you go."

"Junior Feihuang, Senior will miss you too. Even if we are 'Qian' (thousand) miles apart, I will find a chance to come see you!"

Later on, even Yu Tianheng, Yufeng, and even Ye Lingling joined the army of people teasing him, all adding emphasis to the character 'Qian', making him suffer miserably.

Having finally waited for his mother, who had fully recovered, to arrive to take him home, Lan Xue was also left between laughter and tears upon learning that her son had contracted such a strange illness.

Unlike others, she could probably guess the cause of Nan Feihuang's illness.

Among the girls Nan Feihuang knew, only one was outstanding and beautiful enough to attract Nan Feihuang, and she just happened to have the surname Qian.

That was Qian Renxue, who had shared life and death with Nan Feihuang in the Star Dou Great Forest back then.

The problem was a bit big. If it were an ordinary woman, she would just go and propose marriage again; it wouldn't matter if he took another one after marrying Xue Ke. But Qian Renxue was the daughter of the former Pope Qian Xunji; this status was too high, even higher than Xue Ke's.

Even though Nan Feihuang had her, a Title Douluo, as a mother, he was still actually far from her.

Not to mention that Nan Feihuang already had an engagement; even if he didn't, if she went to the Spirit Hall to propose, they might not necessarily agree.

Therefore, this time, she as a mother was also powerless to help, only hoping her son could walk out of it as soon as possible.

Lan Xue had also clearly gone off track just like Qian Renxue, thinking he had become like this because he liked Qian Renxue too much. In reality, what Nan Feihuang was conflicted about was not whether he could be with Qian Renxue in the future, but that once he started liking Qian Renxue, it would be inconvenient to kill people in the future. Many times, he feared that because of Qian Renxue's existence, he would subconsciously show mercy to some people in the Spirit Hall.

This kind of mentality was unacceptable; it would harm others and himself.

The experience of the original Qian Renxue was the best proof.

If she hadn't repeatedly let Tang San go, the Spirit Hall would not have suffered a crushing defeat and been destroyed.

As Nan Feihuang, who aimed to be a general, his heart was clearly not ruthless enough and was unqualified; this was what he was currently striving to overcome.

What he was thinking about now was that he must make a trip to Slaughter City in the future, relying on constant slaughter to nip this 'lovesick' tendency in the bud.
