Chapter 29: Dugu Yan: Not Interested!
"I never thought we would have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
"Xiao Qing, it seems I'm becoming more and more inseparable from you."
Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes held an even wider smile as she tried hard to suppress the corners of her lips from curling up.
For her, possessing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill was a monumental event.
Moreover, the person sharing this Martial Soul Fusion Skill with her was Pei Qing—someone she had raised since childhood and trusted above all others.
Through years of companionship, Qian Renxue had long regarded Pei Qing as her younger brother.
Suddenly, that little brother in her heart might become her future husband, and even Qian Renxue couldn't help but feel a strange sense of disconnection internally.
However, considering she didn't dislike Pei Qing, she chose to let go of that internal conflict and was even willing to actively accept it.
"Sister Xue, what should we name our Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
"And I have no intention of leaving you, Sister Xue."
Pei Qing shook his head, amused by the smile in Qian Renxue's eyes.
"Alright, you can think of the name."
Qian Renxue proactively reached out and took Pei Qing's hand, leading him into the room.
She completely ignored Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo, who were standing nearby.
"The Young Miss's heart is stirring with spring, but it's not the right time."
"We are currently on a mission to seize the throne. Should we report this to the High Priest?"
Porcupinefish Douluo looked at Qian Renxue and Pei Qing, who had already entered the room, hesitating somewhat.
"If the Young Moss was willing to listen to the High Priest in everything, we wouldn't be here."
"Report it—tell the High Priest about the Young Miss and Young Master Pei's Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"As for the Young Miss's heart-stirring with spring—let the Young Miss handle that herself."
…
"What do you want to name the Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
Qian Renxue held Pei Qing's hand, seating him across from her. Her gaze was gentle, and her expression devoid of the coldness she displayed in front of outsiders.
"The Martial Soul Fusion Skill I lead will be called 'Star Domain of the Heavens: Great Sun Soaring'."
"The Martial Soul Fusion Skill you lead will be called 'Seraphim: Holy Descent'."
"Sister Xue, what do you think?"
Pei Qing pondered for a moment before finally suggesting names for the two Martial Soul Fusion Skills.
"I'll listen to you," Qian Renxue nodded with a smile, showing no objections.
"Xiao Qing, it's fortunate that we possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"Therefore, I want you to study at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but come back periodically."
A Martial Soul Fusion Skill requires mutual understanding between both parties to maximize its power.
Even if Pei Qing and Qian Renxue's Martial Soul Fusion Skill had a high degree of compatibility, without long-term practice, its full potential would be difficult to unleash.
As for letting Pei Qing leave the Royal Academy, Qian Renxue had never considered it.
She had always wanted to compete with her mother, the Supreme Pontiff, to see whose strength was greater—or whether the so-called Golden Generation, highly praised by that woman, was truly superior.
Recalling the fox who had stolen her mother's love, a complex expression appeared in Qian Renxue's eyes.
She was her mother, yet that woman harbored hatred for her, giving all her love to a fox with no blood relation.
Pei Qing naturally didn't know Qian Renxue's thoughts, but he strongly agreed with her.
"Don't worry, Sister Xue. I think it's best if we leave the Crown Prince Palace when practicing our Martial Soul Fusion."
"The phenomenon just now was fortunate to be observed by the two seniors; otherwise, it could have caused trouble."
When Pei Qing and Qian Renxue used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill earlier, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo immediately suppressed the phenomenon with their soul power. Otherwise, it could have caused a serious disturbance.
Qian Renxue nodded in agreement, and the two made a pact to practice their Martial Soul Fusion in the Sunset Forest from now on.
Afterward, Qian Renxue pulled Pei Qing along to cultivate together, and she didn't let him leave for several days.
When two people with a Martial Soul Fusion Skill cultivate together, the speed is often twice as fast, and progress is much quicker than cultivating alone.
During these days, Qian Renxue was so absorbed she often didn't bother to change back into Xue Qinghe, frequently appearing before Pei Qing as her true self—Qian Renxue.
Pei Qing saw all her changes.
If this were another continent, Pei Qing might seriously suspect she was possessed by a ghost.
But on this continent, where everyone seemed love-struck and fell head over heels at the slightest connection, it was easy to accept—though he couldn't let her continue this behavior.
Because she might be exposed at any moment. If Pei Qing had known Qian Renxue earlier, he would have advised her strongly against carrying out this mission.
Now, her mission is in its final stages. If the Heaven Dou imperial family noticed anything unusual, although Qian Renxue could retreat, the entire continent's situation would become tense.
He needed time to develop his talents. Only with enough time could he maximize his potential.
…
Heaven Dou Royal Academy
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling walked toward the cafeteria together.
"Lingling, wait until Pei Qing returns before you consume the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid."
"Although he told us how to consume it, I'm still a little worried about you doing it alone."
After Dugu Yan evolved her Martial Soul and returned to the Royal Academy, she immediately took out the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid she had chosen for Ye Lingling.
Ye Renxin, Ye Lingling's grandfather, was renowned as the continent's foremost Medical Saint.
As for the legendary Immortal Herb, the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, Ye Lingling had some understanding of it but dared not consume it directly. So, upon Dugu Yan's suggestion, she nodded repeatedly.
"Are you Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling? I am Yu Tianheng. I've heard of you two."
"I'm currently forming a battle team, and your Martial Souls are very suitable. I'd like to invite you to join my team."
"What do you think?"
The two girls were chatting and laughing when they encountered a young man dressed in black.
This young man was handsome but had a domineering gaze and an unreserved demeanor.
At this moment, he directly extended an invitation to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
Ye Lingling nervously shielded Dugu Yan in front of her. She was shy by nature, and although she appeared aloof externally, she was a complete social recluse. The reason for her aloofness was her nervousness when meeting strangers.
"Not interested, Yu Tianheng. Please move aside!"
Dugu Yan naturally knew about Yu Tianheng, the Blue Lightning Twin Star. He was already a Soul Elder at a young age and once the top genius of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
In the past, she might have truly been impressed by his talent, but now—
Heh, compared to that pervert, all geniuses seemed laughable.
