NOVEL NEXT Chapter 150: 146. Scheming
Qian Renjue helplessly placed his hand on the small shoulder.
Gently, he said, "Yanyan, the loyalty of the Dugu family is the best reward for me."
"We will. Slave Yan is willing to do anything."
Dugu Yan held Qian Renjue's arm, her light green eyes filled with determination.
Miss Xue was right; she needed to understand her position, at least to get closer to The Highness.
"Alright then."
Qian Renjue chuckled lightly, playfully messaging Dugu Yan's shoulder.
Pointing to the poisonous snake that was being stepped on by Ling Yuan, he instructed, "You should go absorb the soul ring first. Remember to change how you address yourself; I'm not used to it."
"Yes, Slave Yan will go right away."
Dugu Yan nodded and smiled slightly.
Seemingly ignoring Qian Renjue's words, she continued as usual.
"If you don't change it, then try not to call me that outside."
Qian Renjue sighed and muttered, looking at Dugu Yan's retreating figure.
Dugu Yan's face flushed slightly, her smile growing.
The Holy Son was more shy and interesting than she had imagined.
Privately, she was also willing to call Qian Renjue "Master," even if he were to hit her.
"Little girl, hurry up."
Ling Yuan's gentle voice sounded, examining Dugu Yan with interest.
A glint of cold light flashed as she raised her hand.
Shing!
A dagger was thrust into the ground next to Dugu Yan.
"Ah, thank you, Your Excellency."
Dugu Yan was slightly startled but quickly recovered, feeling somewhat embarrassed under Ling Yuan's gaze.
She bent down to pick up the dagger and moved swiftly toward the soul beast.
The last roar of the soul beast echoed, and a purple soul ring slowly emerged.
Dugu Yan quickly sat down, nervous as she looked at the purple thousand-year soul ring.
"Relax, it's fine. The Holy Son has already tried it before."
Ling Yuan reassured her while flicking the purple soul ring onto Dugu Yan's head.
"Ah."
Dugu Yan nodded slightly, focusing intently as she firmly connected with the soul ring.
"Sister Ling, please keep an eye on her. I'll go collect the remaining herbs."
"Alright."
After Qian Renjue instructed Ling Yuan, he turned back to the medicine field to continue harvesting.
...
"Great, it's a success!"
After nearly two hours, night had fallen, and Dugu Yan finally absorbed the second soul ring.
Looking at the yellow and purple soul rings at her feet, Dugu Yan's face was filled with joy as she immediately stood up.
She raised her gaze to lock onto Qian Renjue at the wooden table.
"Your Highness, I succeeded!"
Dugu Yan was about to move forward to share her joy when her smile quickly faded.
Because Qian Renxue was sitting directly opposite Qiam Rrenjue, and the two were talking about something.
And Qian Renxue had already noticed her.
Qian Renjue was also attracted by Dugu Yan's voice and looked over.
"Slave Yan greets His Highness and Miss Xue."
Dugu Yan quickly stepped forward, paying her respects to the siblings.
Qian Renjue gave a slight nod, "Hmm, how did it go?"
"I'm now level 22."
Dugu Yan said with a smile, her gaze towards Qian Renjue was extremely respectful.
"Looks like Jue was right. You do need to stay in Heaven Dou City."
Qian Renxue propped her head on her hand, smiling broadly.
She cast a faintly dangerous glance at Dugu Yan, making Dugu Yan shiver slightly.
She couldnt help but shrink her head, she hurriedly lowered her eyes and said, "Miss Xue, don't worry. Slave Yan will do the tasks assigned by His Highness well."
"That's good."
Qian Renxue didn't dwell on it.
After all, her original intention was to find a maid for Qian Renjue.
If Dugu Yan was willing, it would save her time and effort.
But no matter what, Dugu Yan was still just a maid.
To ascend and become the 'master', she needed Qian Renxue's approval.
"Yanyan, have some water first."
Qian Renjue smiled with concern.
He didn't know what was on Qian Renxue's mind and pointed to the steaming stove.
"If you're hungry, Senior Dugu has left some food in the pot for you."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Dugu Yan carefully took the warm tea from Qian Renjue.
Noticing Qian Renxue's displeased gaze, she quickly added, "Your Highness, Slave Yan can do it herself."
"It's just a cup of water. Go have your meal first."
Qian Renjue smiled.
"Slave Yan takes her leave."
Dugu Yan nodded slightly, holding the tea, and moved aside.
"Jue, what kind of miracle potion did you give the Dugu family?"
Qian Renxue pushed away her tea and asked.
She had only just returned, and Dugu Bo immediately told her his intention to be a Spirit Hall's Vassal.
Qian Renjue smiled and said, "Sister, I just resolved their martial soul defect and provided a method to break through to Title Douluo."
"All of that? Jue, you've really grown capable."
Qian Renxue looked astonished and rolled her eyes.
Such benefits explained why Dugu Bo's attitude had changed dramatically, and without hesitation tying the Dugu family's future to the Spirit Hall.
"However, this means their loyalty is even more secure."
"Yes."
Qian Renjue nodded with a smile.
He asked, "By the way, did you get the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"
"Of course, I got it."
Qian Renxue smiled but didn't take out anything.
She looked at Qian Renjue, teasingly said, "Whether I give it to you or not depends on whether Jue can make me happy."
"…"
Qian Renjue was taken aback and then laughed dumbly.
"If Sister is free these days, I would certainly more than willing to accompany you."
"That's good!"
Qian Renxue showed a satisfied smile.
Qian Renjue was about to leave, and the next time they meet willing be the day she goes back to Spirit City
Not knowing when that would be, she wanted to make sure Qian Renjue would spend quality time with her.
Thinking about the upcoming plans, Qian Renxue returned to pressing matters.
"By the way, how do we lure out that big gorilla? Do you have any ideas, Jue?"
"Mm?"
Qian Renjue paused with his teacup near his lips, pondering for a moment before replying, "What are your thoughts, Sister?"
Qian Renxue rested her chin on her hand.
She said lightly, "My original idea was to poison them first, then eliminate them all."
"…"
Qian Renjue's mouth twitched slightly.
"Isn't that a bit too noticable? People will quickly figured it out that Spirit Hall was behind this all."
"Ha ha."
Qian Renxue laughed lightly.
"I know that, so now I only plan to eliminate Tai Tan and Tai Nuo"
"They both?"
"Yes."
Qian Renxue nodded.
She knew well that Tai Tan was an absolute follower of Tang Hao.
Eliminating them would leave the Strength family leaderless.
Qian Renjue twirled the teacup lightly, thought for a moment, and suggested, "Sister, how about we let Uncle Porcupine and the others capture Tai Nuo first?"
