-Heaven Dou Imperial Palace-

Xue Qinghe was getting ready to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan to visit her "teacher".

It was the only place that she could go and avoid suspicion from the Emperor Xue Ye.

The risky part was that she would be meeting Tang Zhen alone. Over the years she has had someone try and keep tabs on him and the group of girls that are around him.

She couldn't help but feel a little jealous. This was her mission, her task. To infiltrate the Heaven Dou Imperial City and inherit the throne as Xue Qinghe.

Although having not seen Tang Zhen for so long, caused her initial infatuation to wane, she wanted to know how he was able to keep such women close to him.

Not long ago, he even got married to most of them.

She thought he might be some kind of scumbag but seeing the quality of women that willingly follow him, she wanted to know more.

The biggest shock was to discover that her "Mother's" own disciple was with him. Xue Qinghe wanted to see the look on her face when she found out.

As the caravan arrived at the entrance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan grounds, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but marvel every time she saw it.

She knew that the Defense Clan and the Breaking Clan had joined into an alliance with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and it seems to be doing well.

She also noticed walking in through the courtyard that the Zhu Clan had also joined making a formidable group.

"Qinghe, You're here." Ning Fengzhi said welcoming her.

"Qinghe greets teacher." She said with a bow.

"Mhm….Qinghe, I don't know why Tang Zhen has asked to meet with you here. I supposed it has to be important. Let's go." He said as he walked away.

Xue Qinghe was stunned. How did Ning Fengzhi know? Curious, she followed him.

In a secluded section of the clan grounds was a massive manor.

"I wonder why this place is so far away from the others." She thought looking around.

Ning Fenghzi knocked on the door before Ning Rongrong appeared at the doorway.

"Papa! Oh! You brother Qinghe! Welcome!" She replied happily letting them in.

As they got to the inner courtyard, Xue Qinghe suddenly stopped and saw different girls training or cultivating.

She could tell that every one of them was stronger than she was.

She lamented this fact as when she was younger, she was considered an unparalleled genius with an innate full soul power of 20 but was forced to stop cultivating as much once her mission started.

Louder explosions were heard in the distance as the girls got excited and they all disappeared into thin air surprising her.

Ning Fengzhi seeing the dumbfounded expression on Xue Qinghe chuckled.

That is one of Tang Zhen's Clan techniques.

They soon rushed over to see what was happening.

Towards the main training grounds, Tang Zhen was fighting against his two wives Liu Erlong and Ah Yin.

Xue Qinghe knew that Tang Zhen had reached the Titled Douluo level from the reports of him destroying the Haotian Clan and by the way he was fighting against the two women who were also Titled Douluo.

What was giving her the goosebumps was the fact that they both had three Red Soul Rings.

"Teacher….you never told me there were more Titled Douluo in the clan."

"Qinghe, technically, they are not part of my clan, they just live here. Although, since Rongrong is married to Tang Zhen, I guess he is." Ning Fengzhi said.

Xue QInghe knew that this was bad. The Martial Soul hall was about to launch the operation soon according to the intelligence she had been receiving from Spirit City.

She was tempted to not say anything to make sure that Hu Liena's plans did not work out the way she wanted it do.

Seeing that Xue Qinghe had arrived, Tang Zhen stopped the spar.

"Your highness, thank you for coming."

"Thank you." Xue Qinghe replied.

"Let's head inside." Tang Zhen escorted them inside while the girls continued training.

Once inside, they sat down and Tang Zhen brewed some tea.

"How do you know who I am?"

"That…..is a secret." Tang Zhen joked.

Seeing Xue Qinghe glare at him, he just chuckled.

"Why did you bring me here." She asked again.

"I asked you to come here to because I have a special power and it allows me to see those that have been chosen by deities."

Xue Qinghe looked at him with a blank stare making Tang Zhen a little nervous.

On the other hand, Xue Qinghe was freaking out on the inside.

"And how do those powers help me?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Before I tell you, I plan to be honest with you. And I would appreciate it if I can see your real self too." Tang Zhen said seriously.

Seeing that he knew who she was based on his letter, she dropped the disguise.

As the disguise slowly faded, Tang Zhen couldn't help but gasp a little at the ethereal beauty that was sitting before him.

Qian Renxue was sitting with her cold look.

Tang Zhen couldn't help but stare into her eyes.

Qian Renxue couldn't help but stare into his eyes either. The blue eyes she thought she was able to let go of for the sake of her mission and the Martial Soul Hall.

Now looking at them again, she was at a loss of what to do.

"Beautiful." Tang Zhen murmured but Qian Renxue heard it causing her to blush slightly.

"Can I ask you something?" Qian Renxue said.

"Mhm." Tang Zhen was still staring at her.

"Do you plant to fight against the Martial Soul Hall?"

"Yes. They targeted my wives and even killed my mother-in-law. I would be a terrible son-in-law if I didn't avenge her at least." He said in a calm tone of voice.

"Then we are destined to be enemies." Qian Renxue said as she stood up and summoned a sword.

"Why?" Tang Zhen asked calmly sipping his tea. Qian Renxue was getting angry, was this guy stupid?

"I will defend the Martial Soul Hall and I have a duty that I cannot ignore." She said resolutely.

"You mean regarding your duty as the successor to the Angel God?" Tang Zhen asked nonchalantly.

"…..yes." Qian Renxue said reluctantly.

"Is that what you want? To follow that path?"

"...I don't know. "

"What if I can offer you a choice?" Tang Zhen asked.

Qian Renxue shot up staring at him.

"What do you mean? A choice?"

"I have received a gift from the Dragon God."

Qian Renxue's eyes widened. Although she didn't know that there was a Dragon God, not much was known about the god realm to begin with.

"And how can this gift offer me a choice to follow a path different from my destiny as the successor to the Angel God?" She asked softly.

"The Dragon God has given me the power to sever the control or connection with someone that a god has chosen to be their successor or messenger."

"Although not from the Dragon God, it's better to use as a feasible alibi rather than a gift from a system…." Tang Zhen thought helplessly.

"If my connection is severed, will that have any negative impact on me?" Qian Renxue asked hesitantly.

"As long as you have not started your god trial, then no. If you have, you will most likely see a reduction in cultivation. For example, the priestess Bo Saixi on Sea God Island."

"And your price? Surely, you would not help me with this out of the goodness of your heart." Qian Renxue asked coldly.

"….Qian Renxue, I will not lie nor will I deceive you. You are breathtakingly beautiful and although we might not know one another that well, I don't think I can stand by seeing you be used by the Angel God. All I ask in return is for a chance. A genuine chance to win your heart." Tang Zhen said seriously.

In the original story, she and Bibi Dong were forced to fight Tang San ultimately leading to Bibi Dong's death and Qian Renxue in a bad situation.

Even though Tang San isn't a factor anymore, Qian Renxue may not want to be with him, he wanted to give her a chance.

Qian Renxue was lost in thought. Hearing his words and asking for a chance to court her made her heart beat a little faster but she was also reserved based on the fact that he has a lot of other wives. Perhaps this was an opportunity to find out why they all agreed to be with him. After all, he was asking and not demanding.

"Tang Zhen, while I find your proposal interesting the one thing that bothers me is what my grandfather will say. I still care about him and I am worried something might happen to him. Will he be punished instead of me?" She wondered.

Tang Zhen thought that it was definitely a possibility. The gods may not be able to directly interfere in human affairs, it was different for those that they have a direct connection with.

"It may be worth it to meet with him and discuss it. After all, if you took the Angel God trial, he would have to sacrifice himself for you anyways." Tang Zhen said.

Qian Renxue's eyes widened. She had no idea that was the case. Why did he never tell her? Was it because he didn't want to worry her?

Qian Renxue's eyes started to tear up at the thought of him sacrificing himself for her.

"The problem now is Hu Liena. The Martial Soul Hall will soon attack both empires and the clans. Now that they know the Haotian Clan has been annihilated by me, they don't have much to fear. I will probably make it worse as I plan to confront the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan next." Tang Zhen said.

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes. How did he know of the Soul Hunting Operation?

"As for how I know, I have my sources." Tang Zhen said giving her a wink.

"Why do you plan to confront the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Aren't you from that clan and one of your wives is from the clan as well." She asked curiously.

Even with her spies, she was never able to find out much information about Tang Zhen's past with the clan like who his parents were. Any information regarding them was either purged or the clan was tight lipped about it. All she knew was that he has twin martial souls and he was the one to destroy the Haotian Clan.

"I will tell you on one condition."

Qian Renxue pouted a little making her look extremely cute.

"What is it?"

"We go on a date." Tang Zhen said with a smile.

Qian Renxue's face turned red as she turned to the side.

"I-I have duties as Xue Qinghe. I can't just go on a date with you!" She said.

"Mmmm well if you can get me an audience with the emperor, I can persuade him to take over the duties." Tang Zhen said still smiling.

"Really?! How?" Qian Renxue exclaimed.

"Do you really want to know?"

Qian Renxue nodded her head up and down. She was getting tired of all the paperwork and being locked inside the palace all the time. Any time outside was precious for her.

Tang Zhen got up and walked over getting close to her and leaned in.

Qian Renxue stiffened and blushed heavily feeling his breathe near her ear and neck.

"It's. A. Secret." Tang Zhen whispered teasingly.

Qian Renxue was speechless for a second and then got angry. About to summon a sword and carve up this idiot in front of her.

Before she could explode, Tang Zhen put his hand on her head and rubbed it.

"Okay, Xue'er let's go and meet the emperor and get you out of here." Tang Zhen said gently before he stuck out his hand.

She pushed his hand away before giving a hmpf and putting her disguise back on and walking away.

Tang Zhen stood frozen.

"Did I over do it?" He thought.

"Are you coming or not?" She asked turning back around.

Tang Zhen quickly walked up to join her.

Qian Renxue walked quietly but was feeling warm inside. The way he had patted her was comforting. Kind of how her grandfather used to but this felt different and she liked it.

Not even an hour later, the two walked out of the palace with Tang Zhen having an easy going expression and the poor girl next to him in distress. The Sharingan came in handy at moments like this.

The entire time out of the palace, she had yelled at him as to why it took him so long to come and do this.

She felt cheated. Like she had years taken from her while she was trapped in the palace doing work.

Tang Zhen could feel the presence of two people but didn't say anything.

Meanwhile, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo were nervous. They could sense that the boy walking next to their young miss was extremely powerful. One had to be if they could wipe out the entire Haotian Clan by himself.

They remember when Qian Renxue heard this news, she travelled back to Martial Soul Hall to see her grandfather who was equally as shocked.

The reason why Qian Daoliu never made a move against the Haotian Clan was because of Tang Chen. But even as his clan was destroyed, he never showed up. Wasn't that too cruel? Could that Old Chen actually be dead?

"So what do you want to do?" Tang Zhen asked her.

Qian Renxue was now out of her disguise but had a veil to try and cover her identity.

Luckily not many people knew what she looked like but she didn't want to take any chances.

Qian Renxue, looked over at Tang Zhen with a mild glare before she folded her arms and looked away.

"Hmpf. You invited me, shouldn't you decide?"

Tang Zhen scratched his cheek awkwardly.

It was already lunch time and he knew just the place to get food.

They walked together to a shop which happened to serve Qian Renxue's favorite food.

A Ramen Restaurant.

Her eyes lit up a bit anticipating her favorite meal.

Tang Zhen asked her to wait outside for a moment and thinking he was going to get a seat, she did as the restaurant became a crowd favorite ever since it opened years ago.

He soon came back escorted by the manager and they skipped the line much to the dismay of the crowd.

They were led up to a private room upstairs and it looked like it had a private kitchen and a dining table.

Tang Zhen walked up and pulled the chair out for Qian Renxue who graciously took a seat. Then she saw someone with a huge hat come in wheeling a cart.

Soon the man lit a fire under what looked like a black stone table and opened a window that let the natural light flow in.

"What is this?" She asked curiously.

"Well this is something new I am trying. You're going to be the first official person who will get to experience it." Tang Zhen said with a smile.

"Wait, you are trying?" She asked in confusion.

"Yes, this restaurant is part of a chain I own." Tang Zhen said proudly.

"YOU'RE THE MYSTERIOUS OWNER OF STEAMY PIGGY? (Shout out to chatgpt for the name)" Qian Renxue exclaimed out loud.

The restaurant logo was the picture of a pig snout but it was oddly cute.

"Hahaha yes I am."

After calming down a bit, she looked over to the other man and saw him testing the heat of the stone table. Then he brought out a long spatula, and a sharp two pronged object.

When Qian Renxue saw that it wasn't Ramen, she became a little sad, something Tang Zhen noticed.

"Sir, should I begin now?" The man asked.

"No I'll do it." Tang Zhen put on an apron and the same hat before he walked up to the man an whispered something to him causing him to nod and leave.

Left alone, Qian Renxue looked at him oddly.

Suddenly, Tang Zhen hit the stone table with the long spatula causing her to jump before he started twirling both objects around in front of her.

He then placed some oil and some meats on the stone and the satisfying sound of sizzling meat was heard.

He then stacked the rings of the onion on top of each other before pouring a liquid in it and he summoned flames on his fingertips touching the the top of the onion as a huge ball of fire came up.

She was stunned but still marveled at the display. He then added rice, and cooked it along with some noodles on the stone before cutting up a vegetable into a small piece.

"You ready?" He smirked.

Confused, she waited before he tossed the cut vegetable up in the air towards her before she dodged it.

"Tang Zhen! It's not goo to waste food!" She said in a scolding tone.

This caused him to laugh before he told her.

"Xue'er you're supposed to catch it with your mouth and eat it." He said still chuckling.

He tried it again tossing it up and this time she caught it.

Qian Renxue thought that it was bland and not tasty but she was surprised when Tang Zhen applauded telling her she did great.

He then pulled out a bottle and told her to catch it too before he started squirting the liquid which turned out to be alcohol into her mouth.

Thinking he would stop, she kept going but Tang Zhen kept going and she flapped her hands trying to tell him to stop.

When he did, her cheeks were puffed up as she gave him a glare. Too cute.

She finished swallowing as he continued to cook pouring what looked like sauces into the rice and noodles.

The aroma was enticing as her mouth began to water. Lastly, he pulled out an egg and spun it around on the stone before throwing it up into the air with the spatula doing flips and spinning it. He then cracked it on the side of the spatula causing the egg to spill out as he drew a heart shape with an arrow through it.

She saw it and blushed but was touched.

As he wrapped up the cooking, he plated everything together and placed it before her and he cleaned the stone table before joining her.

She looked at the food in front of her. It was unlike anything she had ever seen. Giving Tang Zhen the stink eye first, she scooped up the mixed rice and took a bite. As soon as she did, her eyes widened.

The taste was unlike anything she had before. It was delicious. She tried to noodles next and they were just as delicious.

She kept eating and eventually ate the whole plate. She had a sad look on her face.

"What's wrong Xue'er?" Tang Zhen asked.

"….It's gone. All the food is gone." She said sadly.

Tang Zhen chuckled before he went over and pat her head again.

"Did you like it?"

"Mhm…but I still want some Ramen." She said.

Just then the door opened and the man from before brought up a fresh hot bowl of ramen and she inhaled it. Satisfied, she let out a content sigh.

"Heheh who knew my Xue'er was such a glutton." Tang Zhen said playfully.

She glared at him.

"Who are you calling 'your Xue'er'?" She asked. Tang Zhen ignored her question.

"What did you think? I'm thinking of opening another restaurant chain across the continent and do the same for families." He asked.

"I think it was unique and fun. To see how you interact with the people that way while the food cooks." She said after thinking.

"If my Xue'er says it's good, then I have nothing to fear." He said with a smile.

Before she could scold him for calling her his Xue'er again, he grabbed her hand and quickly led her back outside.

They explored the markets together just enjoying the peace the city brought.

It wasn't before long he realized that Qian Renxue was addicted to sweets.

As the evening light set, they were sitting and chatting together at a table watching the orange sun glow fade and the people were all either going home or gathering at taverns.

The noise grew too much and Tang Zhen scooped her up before flying off at high speeds.

He arrived at the Star Dou Forest and made his way to the center.

Seeing where they were headed, Qian Renxue and her guards thought he was crazy but he said it was fine.

Tang Zhen had told Da Ming and Er Ming ahead of time to give them some space much to their chagrin.

It was dark when they arrived with no moon but minimal light, just enough to see.

Tang Zhen flew down and let Qian Renxue down as they came up on a beach.

"Why did you bring me here?" She asked.

"I wanted to bring you to a place away from everything. To help you focus on yourself."

As soon as Tang Zhen said this, the water suddenly began to glow a neon blue color.

It was a dazzling sight to behold. Something Qian Renxue had never seen before.

Tang Zhen quickly took off his shoes and rolled up his pants before he walked over to her and scooped her in his arms again as she squeaked.

He managed to get her heels off and he ran towards the water and began to spin her around.

At first she kept hitting him telling him to put her down but he just kept smiling and laughing.

Soon she looked around and saw the beautiful blue water around them.

Seeing her calm down a bit, Tang Zhen slowly put her down. Her toned and white legs were enticing to look at.

She felt the cool water on her feet and looked down to see how the neon blue water began to shift with her movement.

Tang Zhen then grabbed water and splashed it around causing the blue to fly around creating a mystical scene.

"TANG ZHEN DON'T EVEN THINK ABO-"

*Splash*

"HAHAHA!"

"COME BACK HERE!"

Both of them eventually were laughing tossing the water at each other.

After soaking each other and laughing, they sat by a fire to warm up and dry off.

Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo were keeping watch for any soul beasts stupid enough to come close but were both stunned by how their young miss was laughing and smiling.

"Tang Zhen, thank you. Today has been a lot of fun." Qian Renxue said softly.

"I'm glad you had fun." He said with a smile.

"But why are you doing this? We may be enemies in the future." She asked with a bit of sadness.

Tang Zhen took her hand. She didn't mind anymore. The warmth was comforting.

"Xue'er, whether or not you make the decision to pursue the path to become the Angel God's successor or not is up to you. If at the very end, it comes down to you and me standing on opposite sides of the battlefield, I want you to be able to stand there with no regrets." He said in a soft but serious tone.

"Xue'er, I promise. Whatever decision you make, I will stand by it. If you want to be free of the Angel God and carve your own path, I will help you. And at the end of it all, if you choose not to be with me, I will wish you happiness in your life."

Qian Renxue started to tear up. No one had given her the chance to live her own life. Ever since she could remember, her mother hated her, her grandfather was always preparing her as the successor to the Angel God.

No one ever told her that they would support her in living her own life.

"No matter what happens, don't let anyone tell you what you have to do. You choose your own destiny." He said.

They spent some time just sitting by the fire in comfortable silence.

When the fire died, they returned to Heaven Dou Imperial City.

Before he left, Tang Zhen gave Qian Renxue a kiss on the cheek which caused her to become red.

The two Titled Douluos were conflicted. Their mission was to protect Qian Renxue but their duty was also to the Martial Soul Hall. They both had some thinking to do. What if the Young Miss wanted to choose a different path? Would they be forced to stop her? Kill her? It made them uncomfortable.

Qian Renxue on the other hand was laying in bed. Her mind a complex storm of emotions. Today had been the happiest day of her life. She had so much fun. Maybe there was a different path for her.

She had a lot to think about as she drifted to sleep. Her dream was pleasant. She was surrounded by other women as she watched a group of children pile up on a man with black hair and blue eyes. They all laughed creating a happy image. A possibility for the future.
