Free Web NovelChapter 367: Chapter 367: Let Qian Renxue Be Even Happier!
"Bring the wine!"
Qian Renxue shouted boldly. Since the atmosphere was so good, how could tea possibly release the emotions in her heart?
Having been in the Heaven Dou Empire for so long, only her interactions with Dugu Feng were like a ray of sunlight in the darkness, often bringing Qian Renxue pleasant surprises.
Today, after two years apart, the two of them had met again. How could there be no wine?
Dugu Feng secretly clicked his tongue. It seemed Qian Renxue was indeed in a very good mood.
And why wouldn’t she be? Her cultivation speed had advanced by leaps and bounds, and she was about to become a Titled Douluo. On top of that, the detestable Bibi Dong was severely injured. With such a situation, how could Qian Renxue not be happy?
Dugu Feng didn’t want to spoil the mood. He planned to make Qian Renxue even happier in a little while.
For now, he would just go along with her.
The maids brought up strong liquor. Dugu Feng took a mouthful, feeling a surge of heat throughout his body.
Qian Renxue similarly downed a large cup in one go.
Of course, with wine, there must be food. The two had already moved their "battlefield" to the side hall of the bedchamber.
The imperial chefs had long since sprung into action, bringing up plate after plate of delicacies and various types of Soul Beast Meat.
After several rounds of dishes and wine, Qian Renxue was feeling a bit lightheaded.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "Feng Xiongdi, the bond between us was actually formed from childhood.
Don’t you think we are very similar? Both of us were burdened with high expectations from birth, and since childhood, we’ve lived inhuman lives.
I’ve heard that members of your Dugu Family live alongside Poison Soul Beasts from a young age, eating poisonous things and taming venomous snakes. You also have two pet snakes, is that right?"
When it came to this, Dugu Feng certainly had a lot to say. He cheerfully took another swig of strong liquor and reminisced, "When I was young, Old Snake was my teacher. He said since our Martial Soul is the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, we must learn the habits of snakes.
The first habit of a snake is hibernation. It can lower its metabolism in low-temperature environments to reduce energy consumption. We also had to hibernate every day!"
Qian Renxue became interested. "Oh? How did you hibernate?"
"By starving! One meal had to last for three. We had to learn to conserve the energy within our bodies!"
Dugu Feng said helplessly.
"Haha, starving? Your Dugu Family’s method of raising the younger generation is too cruel!" Qian Renxue felt that compared to her, Dugu Feng had it even worse.
At least she had lived a life where clothes were handed to her and food was brought to her mouth.
"Besides starving, we also had to eat Snake Gallbladders and drink snake blood. Brother Xue, have you ever eaten a Snake Gallbladder? It’s unbearably bitter!"
Dugu Feng added.
Qian Renxue was taken aback for a moment. She really hadn’t eaten one. "Can I try it?"
With such a request, Dugu Feng naturally obliged. His Storage Soul Tool always contained Snake Gallbladders and fried scorpions.
This time, he simply took them all out.
Qian Renxue looked at the oval-shaped Snake Gallbladder, thinking that since Dugu Feng had eaten them since childhood, how bitter could it really be?
She carefully picked one up and put it in her mouth, whereupon the gallbladder immediately burst, releasing its juices.
Sure enough, Qian Renxue had bitten right into the Snake Gallbladder.
The bitter juice inside was quite an experience.
Dugu Feng had done the same thing when he was young. It was only after a long time that Old Snake mocked him for it.
Old Snake had taunted him, saying he could just swallow it whole and wouldn’t have to endure such bitter juice.
Qian Renxue’s face flushed red from the bitterness, and she quickly took a sip of wine. The snake gallbladder paired with wine was both bitter and spicy, creating a uniquely sour and refreshing sensation.
"Try this, this is absolutely delicious!"
Dugu Feng suppressed a laugh and pointed at the fried scorpions. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Qian Renxue hesitated slightly. As a woman, she instinctively found scorpions disgusting and felt a natural aversion to them.
However, seeing the expectant look in Dugu Feng’s eyes, she still ate one anyway.
But once it was in her mouth, Qian Renxue’s eyes lit up.
Such a high-protein snack was indeed delicious.
Crunching away, she quickly finished a whole plate of fried scorpions.
"This really is tasty, much better than what those imperial chefs in the palace make!" Qian Renxue said, her mouth oily from eating.
Her manner was rough and unrestrained, truly like good brothers sharing their hearts.
"Next time you come, bring me more fried scorpions, Feng Xiongdi. You should visit me more often—practicing every day is so boring!"
Qian Renxue exclaimed excitedly.
Naturally, Dugu Feng agreed. Today’s interactions had suddenly given him an idea: to feed Qian Renxue a Core Pearl.
But Qian Renxue was different from others. She possessed two 100,000-Year Soul Bones, and her Soul Power Level was the same as his. Moreover, her Angel Martial Soul might have some special characteristics.
Qian Renxue had also been undercover for a long time, remaining constantly vigilant. It wouldn’t be good if she noticed anything unusual.
Since she had already eaten the snake gallbladder and fried scorpions this time, he would need to prepare carefully next time to make sure she ingested the Core Pearl without noticing.
The two continued drinking, eventually ending up with arms around each other’s shoulders, staggering slightly as they walked. Only then did Dugu Feng leave the palace.
After Dugu Feng left, Qian Renxue sat there in a daze for a long time before finally using her Soul Power to expel the alcohol from her system.
She regained full sobriety.
She couldn’t help but feel that she had been too unrestrained today—there had been quite a bit of physical contact between them!
Qian Renxue’s feelings were complicated.
But these moments were rare opportunities for her to relax, and she simply couldn’t control herself.
She decided to treat it as a day of relaxation!
From now on, she still needed to focus on cultivation. Currently, besides Bibi Dong, her threats also included that hidden Evil Soul Master.
The Evil Soul Master had struck repeatedly without any discernible pattern, becoming a major concern for all factions.
Every action had to be taken with caution, fearing this Evil Soul Master.
This was also one reason the continent had remained peaceful for so long—facing the threat of the Evil Soul Master, everyone naturally acted more carefully.
At the very least, even Qiandao Liu had warned Qian Renxue not to leave the palace. Near the palace were the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as well as the hidden Azure Phoenix Douluo.
They could ensure her safety.
Qian Renxue shook her head and decided to continue cultivating. She was determined to break through to Titled Douluo within half a year.
But while Qian Renxue thought this way, Dugu Feng had no intention of letting her continue cultivating patiently.
During their heartfelt conversation, Dugu Feng had seriously considered giving Qian Renxue some benefits to make her happier.
After leaving the palace, Dugu Feng returned to the Dugu Family and also visited Ning Fengzhi and Tang Xiao.
This was to maintain relationships with various factions in Heaven Dou City.
Tang Xiao had broken through to level 96 a year ago, greatly increasing his strength and seemingly restoring some of his confidence.
Of course, during their meeting, they inevitably discussed Ning Rongrong, Tang San, and others. Both Ning Fengzhi and Tang Xiao were filled with pride.
The main reason was that the Soul Power Level of the Shrek Six Devils had progressed too rapidly, leaving Ning Fengzhi and Tang Xiao, who had cultivated for a lifetime, utterly astonished.
Was this cultivation? It was practically like eating and drinking to advance in levels.
The power of the gods was truly immense.
Aside from the Shrek Six Devils, there was another who cultivated the fastest—Feng Xiaotian.
Dugu Feng met with Feng Xiaotian alone at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
