Chapter 175

"If you want to thank me, you should take off the mask, not speak empty words here," a pleasant voice sounded, and Qian Renxue stepped forward, coming to Bai Yuan's side.

She reached out, revealing the flawless, fair, slender wrist beneath her long sleeves, and directly grabbed the bronze mask on Bai Yuan's face.

"Bang" sounded, and Bai Yuan actually seized Qian Renxue's wrist, looking at her dazzling golden eyes on that stunning face, and said, "What you're doing is truly very impolite."

In this ambush, Qian Renxue only used extreme speed, but she seemed not to want to hurt Bai Yuan, so her strength was lacking, and he easily grabbed her.

Qian Renxue was unfazed; she suddenly gave a light smile.

This smile was completely different from her previous smile.

Her faint smile seemed to possess some special charm; even Bai Yuan, accustomed to beauties, was momentarily stunned.

For a moment, all surrounding sounds vanished, leaving only a gentle breeze through the forest, leaves rustling softly.

Moreover, Bai Yuan sensed that all plants within his divine sense's range seemed to display a joyful mood, as if intoxicated by Qian Renxue's smile.

"Bai Yuan? Am I beautiful?" Qian Renxue suddenly exerted force, and with their clasped hands pressed Bai Yuan entirely onto the ground.

Given the huge cultivation gap and lack of preparation, he had no resistance and was pressed until the ground cracked.

Such a level of force was insufficient to injure Bai Yuan.

He returned a smile and said lightly, "If you want to ask Master, I can't answer for him, but if you ask the White Emperor, I can give you a definite answer."

"You are beautiful; among the beauties I've seen, you rank within the top five."

When it comes to beauties he's seen, Bai Yuan has seen far too many.

Gu Yue Na, Mu Junwu, Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor, Poseci, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, Qian Renxue, Bi Bi Dong, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing.

As for Bai Yu, she can barely be counted as a tiny beauty.

Qian Renxue couldn't help but pout.

She was satisfied with the first sentence of the latter part of Bai Yuan's answer, but the "top five" remark made Qian Renxue less happy.

Qian Renxue thought for a moment about the beauties Bai Yuan might have seen, and she laughed, asking, "The ones ahead of me aren't Bi Bi Dong or Poseci, right?"

Without a chance for Bai Yuan to answer, Qian Renxue smiled faintly, her voice gentle, "If so, it's truly a pity; Poseci is already dead, and Bi Bi Dong continues as the Rakshasa God, destined to become a hideously snarling, blue‑faced monster out of resentment."

Regarding Bi Bi Dong, even knowing he is her father, the one who forced her into existence, Qian Renxue still cannot let go of the childhood resentment.

As for Mu Junwu, Qian Renxue did not mention him.

After all, whether he ranks before her or not is irrelevant.

After all, Mu Junwu is already Bai Yuan's woman.

Bai Yuan ignored Qian Renxue; suddenly, dense formation patterns filled the heavens and earth, interlocking to form massive arrays at the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment stage!

Qian Renxue's gaze tightened slightly, for she instantly recognized this as the incomprehensible technique Bai Yuan used when he defeated the Abyss Saint.

When Qian Renxue was about to act and unveil Bai Yuan's mask, he suddenly activated the "Yin‑Yang Creation Classic" and employed the recorded escape method, the "Yin‑Yang Escape Technique."

In an instant, Bai Yuan's body vanished from Qian Renxue, turning into a black and a white stream of invisible qi that instantly appeared several thousand meters away.

Qian Renxue was shocked; she never expected Bai Yuan could escape his palm so effortlessly, as if it required no effort at all.

The stunning palace‑clad maiden hurried to her feet, her eyes flickering, and finally saw the two streams of invisible qi converge, reforming Bai Yuan's figure.

"What technique is that?" Qian Renxue said that even if she became a god, she still couldn't comprehend what Bai Yuan had used.

How could a person split into a black and a white airflow?

And the two flows could recombine to restore the original.

Bai Yuan ignored Qian Renxue, replying calmly, "Qian Renxue, if you stand down now, we can still be friends."

Qian Renxue smiled and shook her head, "After seeing my true heart in the Angel's Ninth Trial, I no longer wish to be friends with you."

Bai Yuan's face darkened, "So you intend to become my enemy?"

Qian Renxue still smiled, shook her head, then nodded, "I don't want to be your enemy, but if you insist, you may treat me as an enemy."

"In the end, we'll see whether you fall into my hands, or you kill me and send me back to the Divine Realm early."

"If I return to the Divine Realm, Bi Bi Dong and Tang San are unlikely to negotiate with the invaders from other realms; then, when the God King falls, Douluo Star will have to leave its fate to chance."

Bi Bi Dong and Tang San—one is the successor of the Rakshasa God, who is a first‑rank deity under the God of Evil.

The other is also the successor of the Asura God.

But that is irrelevant; what matters is that both the Asura God and the God of Evil agree to move the Divine Realm to Douluo Star, then use its power to annihilate the invading God King!

However, Bai Yuan does not know this.

But he knows Qian Renxue is not lying.

Bai Yuan's gaze darkened; he realized Qian Renxue was now determined to achieve her goal at any cost, refusing to stop until she has him dead.

"I've said it, I'm not Master; your threats are useless."

Bai Yuan sighed helplessly.

Qian Renxue said skeptically, "Then take off the mask on your face; if you're truly not him, I'll immediately go back to prepare for negotiations."

"Although the chance of a successful negotiation is slim, having a chance is better than none, and besides, you don't want the God King War to erupt and cause trouble, do you?"

In the end, Qian Renxue tilted her head toward Bai Yuan and smiled.

The "she" she referred to was, of course, Mu Junwu.

Bai Yuan's expression was now extremely solemn.

If Qian Renxue truly refuses to negotiate and lets Bi Bi Dong and Tang San run amok, a God King War will break out soon.

Then, not only Bai Yuan and Mu Junwu, but even Gu Yue Na and the entire Soul Beast clan would likely be annihilated!

Taking a deep breath, Bai Yuan said gravely, "More words are useless; let the true proof be shown under my hand."

He plans to first deal with the immediate matter, then discuss with Gu Yue Na how they should get through this crisis.

As his words ended, dozens to hundreds of formations across heaven and earth activated simultaneously, instantly draining all heavenly and earthly energy within a hundred‑mile radius.

The colossal energy surge caused the space within ten thousand meters to warp and tremble, as if it could collapse at any moment.
