Chapter 110: Qian Renxue: I really dislike your gaze

One day later.

Xue Beng followed She Mao into Wu Hun City.

He really couldn't imagine why Qian Renxue would see him alone.

He could only pray that this meeting with Qian Renxue would not turn out too badly.

He just wanted to survive.

……

Wu Hun City, Imperial Palace.

In the vast court hall, only Qian Renxue was present.

She Mao led Xue Beng into the court hall, saying, "Your Majesty, Xue Beng has arrived."

"Hmm, I see you, She Mao. You may leave." Qian Renxue waved her hand, signaling She Mao to go.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After She Mao left, Xue Beng dared not look around or directly at Qian Renxue; he clasped his hands and asked, "Angel God, may I ask why you have summoned me this time?"

"Xue Beng, am I very frightening?"

"Why do you not dare to raise your head and look straight at me?" Qian Renxue countered.

"I fear offending the Angel God." Xue Beng said anxiously.

"Do you, Xue Beng, also feel afraid?"

There was a hint of ridicule in Qian Renxue's words; she then continued, "Now I permit you to raise your head and look at me."

"I... I don't dare." Xue Beng said timidly.

"I order you to raise your head and look at me." Qian Renxue's voice already carried anger.

Xue Beng, frightened, hurriedly raised his head and looked toward Qian Renxue.

So beautiful.

Xue Beng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Their eyes met, and Qian Renxue continued to press him, saying, "Xue Beng, you are indeed obedient."

"However, I don't like your divine eyes."

"Go ahead and gouge out your own eyes."

Xue Beng broke out in a cold sweat; clearly you told me to raise my head to look at you, yet now you dislike my gaze and demand I gouge out my own eyes—are you not playing with me? "Angel God, I consider myself most respectful toward you; why must you toy with me thus?" his question was both indignant and fearful, anxious.

"Xue Beng, is this what you call respect?"

"True respect should not harbor doubt."

"Choose—your eyes or your life." Qian Renxue placed the Angel Holy Sword horizontally across Xue Beng's neck, lightly shifting it, and blood immediately welled up.

Xue Beng felt his head about to fly off; he had wanted to say something defiant, but his fear was magnified without limit, and the defiant words on his lips turned into pleas.

"Angel God, please spare me; the Tian Dou Empire still needs me."

"I can help you govern the Tian Dou Empire well, offering vast wealth each year to the Wu Hun Empire."

"Angel God, please spare me."

"Xue Beng, do you really think you are that important? Moreover, from today onward, there will be no Tian Dou Empire on the Douluo Continent."

"Since you refuse to choose, I will make the choice for you."

"So, go die." Qian Renxue suddenly withdrew the Angel Holy Sword and then swung it forcefully at Xue Beng's neck.

Xue Beng was terrified to the extreme, stemming from his greed for life and fear of death; he instinctively shouted, "Angel God, I gouge, I gouge, I gouge—is that not enough?!"

The Angel Holy Sword finally came to rest at Xue Beng's neck, already leaving a shallow cut.

Xue Beng had been frightened to the point of wetting his pants.

Qian Renxue scolded, "Xue Beng, what are you standing there for? My patience is limited."

"Very well, Angel God."

Xue Beng placed his trembling right hand before his eyes and asked,

"Angel God, if I gouge out my eyes, will you spare me, right?"

"Of course, as long as you follow my words, I will let you live." "Very well, I understand, Angel God." Xue Beng hardened his heart and thrust his index and middle fingers toward his own eyes.

"Ah!"

Xue Beng's miserable cry rang out.

Impossible, utterly impossible.

It is simply too painful.

"Xue Beng, why have you stopped?" Qian Renxue said displeased.

"Angel... Angel God, pain, pain, too painful, I cannot bring myself to do it."

"You cannot bring yourself to do it?"

"It seems I have been negligent; in that case, I will have someone help you."

"Hao Nan, come in." Qian Renxue's voice transmitted from the palace.

Soon, a burly man walked into the palace.

He respectfully saluted Qian Renxue and then asked, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Go, help Xue Beng gouge out his eyes." Qian Renxue looked at Xue Beng.

"All right, Your Majesty." Hao Nan walked toward Xue Beng, scrutinizing him closely, and thought to himself, "What a handsome young man."

Too bad, he has no eyes.

Inside the palace, Xue Beng's anguished cries rang out again; the eyeless man rolled about on the ground, seemingly the only way to ease his bodily pain.

Qian Renxue immediately acted, and a golden radiance fell upon Xue Beng.

Although the pain was still there, the wound from the missing eye had healed.

Qian Renxue had said that she would certainly let Xue Beng live well.

Xue Beng endured the pain and asked, "Angel God, may I leave now?"

Not in a hurry, there is still something on you that annoys me greatly; let me cut it off for you.

As she spoke, Qian Renxue drew her sword.

Only a golden sword qi flashed past just beneath Xue Beng's legs.

"Ah, Qian Renxue, you betray and abandon righteousness, you will not die a good death, you will not die a good death.", Xue Beng never imagined that Qian Renxue would actually cut off his lifeblood, which is even more painful than killing him.

Seeing Xue Beng insulting himself, Qian Renxue's expression instantly turned cold, and she said, "Xue Beng, I only promised you would survive, not that you would remain unharmed."

"You dare to call my name directly, dare to insult me; I originally thought to let you leave the Wu Hun Empire after this, but now it seems unnecessary."

"With such hatred for me in your heart, letting you return to the Tian Dou Empire would be a disaster."

"Hao Nan, Xue Beng is bestowed upon you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the grant." Hao Nan was very pleased; such a handsome young man is rare, and as for the lost eye, there's no fear—just cover it with a black cloth.

Before Hao Nan left, Qian Renxue instructed, "Hao Nan, you must keep Xue Beng alive, understand? I cannot break my promise."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I understand your meaning." Hao Nan happily hugged Xue Beng and left the palace.

Xue Beng already had a bad premonition; he struggled desperately, but with his cultivation below that of a Soul Ancestor, how could he escape from Hao Nan, who possessed the strength of a Soul Emperor?

……

One month later.

The Wu Hun Empire took full control of the Tian Dou Empire; from then on, the Tian Dou Empire became nothing but historical dust.

Since the Tian Dou Empire has fallen, next is the Star Luo Empire.

As long as we destroy the Star Luo Empire, the Wu Hun Empire can achieve the unification of the Douluo Continent.

The only thing that made Qian Renxue regretful was that the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect had actually fled in advance.

However, it's fine; once the Douluo Continent is unified, she will have enough troops to sail overseas and find the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.

Her revenge against the Shrek Seven Monsters, Qian Renxue has never forgotten from beginning to end.
