Douluo Dalu: Qian Renxue's Younger Brother

Chapter 235: 231. Return Home



A long, endless road.

The carriage carrying the siblings Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue seemed to ride on the sunrise, traveling along a road bathed in morning light.

Spirit City was just ahead.

"Jue, be more gentle."

Qian Renxue sat cross-legged on the cushion, glancing back with a reproachful gaze.

"I'm already being very slow."

Qian Renjue sat behind Qian Renxue, carefully combing her silky hair with a peachwood comb.

Ling Yuan was behind them, gently massaging his back and shoulders.

"Ah-ha—"

Qian Renjue yawned, his eyes slightly moist with tiredness.

"By the way, why did you decide to come back home with me this time, sister?"

Qian Renxue's gaze darkened slightly, her voice soft.

"Things have stabilized in Heaven Dou. Can't I take some time off to spend with you?"

"Of course, that's great! Mom and the others miss you a lot."

Qian Renjue nodded with a smile.

Qian Renxue chuckled softly, teasingly glancing back.

"And what about you, Jue?"

"Of course, I miss you too."

"Do you miss your little girlfriend more, or your sister?"

Qian Renxue leaned back, resting her head on Qian Renjue's shoulder.

Her crimson lips whispered warm words, her purple-blue eyes filled with gentleness, yet hiding a dangerous edge.

"..."

Qian Renjue pressed his chest against Qian Renxue's back.

After a moment of silence, he gently wrapped his arms around her slim waist, lowering his head to whisper in her ear.

"I think I miss you more, sister."

"Hmph, you know how to coax."

Qian Renxue snorted twice.

Though his response was a bit slow, the result satisfied her.

She lifted her pretty face, placing a light kiss on his defined jawline.

"Wake me up when we arrive."

Leaning against his sturdy chest, Qian Renxue slowly closed her eyes for a nap, lightly holding his clean hands on her abdomen, gently stroking them.

Yet her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

She was now a level 68 Soul Emperor.

Her increasing power felt like an incoming death sentence for Qian Daoliu.

That was the real reason she decided to return.

Qian Renxue bit her lip, nuzzling against the warmth behind her, her lips curving into a slight smile.

"Jue~ I have some good news for you."

"This time, I'm planning to stay for a whole year."

"What?"

Qian Renjue, somewhat dazed, quickly lit up with joy.

"Sister, really?!"

Without even looking, Qian Renxue knew Qian Renjue was excited.

His strong, steady arms around her waist had unconsciously tightened.

Qian Renxue chuckled softly, murmuring in a low voice, "Of course it's true."

"Mom and Grandpa will be so happy."

Qian Renjue didn't think too much.

He just felt like his life could return to a state that was somewhat incomplete, yet still whole.

For now, that was precious enough.

In the coming years, such moments would likely become rare.

Holding his beloved sister, Qian Renjue leaned back slightly, resting in Ling Yuan's soft and full embrace.

His mind wandered to Tang San, who had now become a Soul Master.

Immersed in his thoughts, he realized that his points had increased by 200.

After a brief reflection, he guessed they were a gift from Ye Lingling.

Over the years, accumulating points had become slower and slower, or perhaps it was because his relationships with others had grown closer and friendlier, making it harder to stir deep emotions.

But Qian Renjue didn't mind. He actually quite liked this comfortable feeling.

It was nice.

[Host currently has 5,980 points!]

[Would you like to spend 1,500 points to exchange for three 'Mysterious Treasure Chests'?]

[Exchanged for three 'Mysterious Treasure Chests']

[Remaining points: 4,480!]

[Do you want to open the treasure chests?]

Ding! [Opening Mysterious Treasure Chests... Congratulations, Host! You've obtained a prize: Juicy Cucumber!]

"???"

Expecting a miracle, Qian Renjue was left utterly confused as he read the description, his face darkening slightly.

[Juicy Cucumber]: This cucumber is tender and juicy, a perfect refreshment for hot summer days. Hollowed out, it can also unlock a different experience! A great item to cool off and extinguish inner heat.

"Phew—"

Qian Renjue gritted his teeth. The system, it seemed, still had to annoy him whenever he opened a chest.

After silently cursing twice, he quickly opened the remaining two chests.

Ding! [Congratulations, Host! You've obtained: Soul-Hunting Teleportation Talisman and Soul Bone Doubling Card!]

[Soul-Hunting Teleportation Talisman]: A spatial talisman from a higher world, it can tear open the void and transport the host near a suitable soul beast. This talisman is a round-trip ticket, courtesy of the system, and can be used for three round trips.

Note: There may be some issues when using the talisman in this world, and it may occasionally transport the host to the vicinity of other important individuals. The system retains the final interpretation rights!

[Soul Bone Doubling Card]: As the name suggests, this card can double the age of any non-system-given soul bone obtained by the host. Any soul bone enhanced to 100,000 years will also gain dual skills!

Looking at the three items in his system inventory, Qian Renjue's breathing finally calmed down.

Despite the questionable nature of the Soul-Hunting Teleportation Talisman, it was still an invaluable item — a genuine round-trip ticket.

With the other two items' presence, even that Juicy Cucumber seemed a bit more tolerable.

Swoosh!

A chilled cucumber appeared in Qian Renjue's hand, seeming to have been refrigerated.

It was straight, smooth, and fit perfectly in his hand.

Qian Renjue opened his mouth slightly, feeling a little repulsed by the system's earlier joke.

Crunch!

On a whim, he took a bite. It was crisp and juicy, with a refreshing sweetness.

"Your Highness, where did that cucumber come from?"

Ling Yuan, serving as his pillow, looked down at Qian Renjue curiously.

"I forgot."

Qian Renjue shook his head lightly, no longer in the mood to eat, and looked up to ask:

"Sister Ling, would you like a bite?"

"Sure."

Ling Yuan smiled, nodding softly, her lips parting slightly.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Ah—"

Before she could finish speaking, Qian Renjue tilted his head back, with limited visibility, and placed the cucumber into her mouth, quickly pulling his hand back when he heard her muffled sounds. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

"Sorry, Sister Ling. I didn't see properly."

"It's fine, Your Highness. I'll manage myself."

"Alright."

"Mm."

Ling Yuan nodded, took the cucumber in her hand, examined it, and took a bite.

Crunch!

"Your Highness, it's quite tasty."

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue, resting in Qian Renjue's arms, couldn't help but roll her eyes and chuckle softly.

---

After half an hour passed, the carriage crossed the gates of Spirit City.

Qian Renxue lifted a corner of the curtain, gazing at the six-winged angel atop the city walls.

Before long, the carriage came to a steady stop.

"We've arrived, Miss, Young Master."

Before Snake Lance Douluo could say more, Qian Renxue already knew.

She was peering through the window at the familiar figure waiting for them.

Crowned, holding a scepter, dressed in regal robes — elegant and dignified.

Qian Renxue's heart softened.

"Sister, Mom's here to welcome us. Let's go down quickly."

Qian Renjue urged Qian Renxue with a smile.

"Mm."

Qian Renxue nodded, taking his hand tightly as they stepped out of the carriage.

Before they could take more than a few steps, Bibi Dong was already right in front of them, having closed the gap between them swiftly.

"Mom!"

Just as Qian Renjue was about to step forward, he found a scepter thrust into his arms.

A fragrant breeze blew past as Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue embraced.

"Xiao Xue, welcome home~"

Bibi Dong gently held and caressed her daughter, who had been away for so long, her voice full of tenderness.

"Mm."

Qian Renxue nodded softly, tightly hugging Bibi Dong's full figure, clinging to her as if inseparable.

The two stood close, the warmth between them evident.
