To the east of the Star Dou Great Forest, a soft, pale white began to paint the sky.
Who knew how long had passed. Beams of warm sunlight pierced through the gaps in the leaves, and mottled light and shadow danced on the grass like elves.
Intertwined in this play of light and shadow, two figures were nestled together.
As Cheng Xiao slowly opened his eyes, he clearly felt two warm, jade-like arms tightly wrapped around his neck. His chest also seemed to be pressed against something, but none of that mattered. What was important was that it was very soft.
His mind immediately cleared, and Cheng Xiao's eyes snapped open. He quickly lowered his head to look, and what met his gaze was a delicate and stunning face, like a work of art meticulously sculpted by the heavens.
For some reason, the two of them had unknowingly embraced each other and fallen into a deep sleep. Their current posture was quite suggestive. Her arms were around his waist, and his arms were around hers. It was fortunate that she wasn't in the form of Xue Qinghe; otherwise, they would have been regarded as good brothers with a hidden relationship.
Qian Renxue's eyelashes were slender and curled, like a row of light feathers, and they were gently trembling. Her face appeared even softer in the morning sunlight, her skin as white as jade, tinged with a faint pink.
Gentle breaths drifted out, as if she were sleeping soundly.
"She doesn't seem to be awake yet." After watching for a while, Cheng Xiao, seeing that Qian Renxue showed no signs of waking up, couldn't help but mumble to himself.
However, just as Cheng Xiao was wondering whether to wake Qian Renxue, his stomach suddenly deflated, followed by a rumbling sound.
As if she had heard the sound of Cheng Xiao's stomach, Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and the jade arms around Cheng Xiao's neck loosened a little, but she still showed no intention of opening her eyes.
"So much for sleeping." Seeing this, Cheng Xiao murmured softly, then gently removed his hand from Qian Renxue's soft, slender waist. Next, he propped himself up with one hand on the ground and sat up, with his other arm around Qian Renxue's waist.
The close contact made both Cheng Xiao and Qian Renxue tremble slightly. Now, with their proximity, Cheng Xiao's throat became a little dry. Looking at the moist, red lips so close, he felt an urge to kiss her.
His breathing became rapid. Biting the tip of his tongue, he suppressed the sudden impulse. Cheng Xiao stood up, holding Qian Renxue directly. Feeling the softness of the delicate body in his arms and the elegant fragrance constantly entering his nose, Cheng Xiao felt uneasy.
Carrying the Qian Renxue in his arms, he rushed under a large tree, gently placing her down and leaning her against the trunk. Cheng Xiao raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat that had appeared on his forehead at some unknown time. Then, he spread out his Shadow Force, confirming that there were no Soul Beasts around before finally sighing in relief.
Cheng Xiao's gaze swept over the delicate, flawless face. He sighed softly, then turned and, clutching his rumbling stomach, summoned his Shadow Soldier, Liao Ya, and quickly disappeared from the area. He intended to find some food to fill his belly.
After Cheng Xiao left, Qian Renxue, leaning against the tree trunk, quietly opened her eyes. A blush crept across her exquisitely beautiful face, and a complex expression flickered in her golden eyes. Her slender, elegant fingers clenched into fists, then slowly relaxed.
Her bright eyes flashed with a complex light. Qian Renxue slowly stood up. She gazed at the spot where Cheng Xiao had left, hesitated for a moment, and sighed softly. Then, she took out a Token from the Storage Soul Tool she carried with her. The Token was simple in design, but it contained a special flow of energy.
"I hope he understands what I mean." Qian Renxue gently placed the Token on a stone beneath the tree.
After placing the Token, two pairs of golden energy wings slowly extended from Qian Renxue's back. She glanced one last time in the direction Cheng Xiao had gone, and with a slight tremor of her four wings, she swiftly lifted off the ground. Accompanied by the falling of golden feathers, she soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.
After a while, when Cheng Xiao had his Shadow Soldiers return with the food, he found that there was no sign of Qian Renxue, only the gleaming Token beneath the tree.
"She left quietly after waking up?" Cheng Xiao gave a wry smile and paused for a moment. He then walked forward and picked up the Token Qian Renxue had left behind.
Turning the Token over, he saw a character for "snow" carved on it.
After a moment of silence, Cheng Xiao put the Token, which was engraved with the character for "snow," into the Storage Soul Tool that Chrysanthemum Douluo had given him.
The Shadow Soldiers standing behind Cheng Xiao seemed to sense a shift in their king's mood, remaining silent without making a sound.
"If she's gone, then she's gone. At least, this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest wasn't without its rewards." Cheng Xiao turned his head, his gaze falling on the Three-Eyed Demon Ape, and smiled faintly.
Wuhun City, Papal Palace.
Inside the spacious and brightly lit Papal Palace sat a woman of unparalleled beauty. She lazily sat on the throne, holding a cup of fragrant tea, with the Golden Scepter symbolizing her status as Pope casually placed to the side.
The woman had a very tall figure with extremely fair skin. She wore a Nine-Bend Purple Gold Crown on her head, and a long, golden gown that shimmered from head to toe. Upon closer inspection, it was studded with hundreds of different shaped gemstones.
Just then, a golden light surged within the Papal Palace, and countless golden petals descended from the sky. Chrysanthemum Douluo's figure silently appeared before the woman.
"Your Majesty the Pope, I have handled the matter you assigned me," Yue Guan, Chrysanthemum Douluo, said respectfully, kneeling on one knee.
"Oh?" Bibi Dong looked curious and said lightly, "Tell me the result. Joining or refusing?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty the Pope." Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan raised his head and said, "Cheng Xiao has chosen to join the Martial Soul Hall and has already become my disciple. As for Xiao Wu, who also has Innate Full Soul Power, I didn't find her. I suppose they separated after entering the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Your disciple?" Bibi Dong nodded slightly, then smiled, "Then congratulations, Elder Ju. To have received a genius with Innate Full Soul Power. If properly taught, he will surely become a Title Douluo in the future."
"Elder Ju, as the Pope, I must thank you on behalf of the Martial Soul Hall."
Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan trembled and hurriedly said, "It's all thanks to Your Majesty the Pope. As an elder of the Martial Soul Hall, recruiting geniuses to join the Martial Soul Hall is just my job."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong said lightly, "Yue Guan, you've done well. Since Cheng Xiao has become your disciple, then teach him well. I hope that in the near future, I can see another Title Douluo emerge from the Martial Soul Hall."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope." Chrysanthemum Douluo bowed to accept the order, and after reporting some other matters to Bibi Dong, he left the Papal Palace.
And after Chrysanthemum Douluo left, Bibi Dong on the throne sneered.
"Great Elder, just wait and see. Controlling the Martial Soul Hall is only a matter of time. I'd like to see what other tricks you have to delay my complete control!"
