Chapter 217: Heading to Slaughter City_1
With that, hand in hand, they came to the Crown Prince’s Mansion where Xue Qinghe seemed to have known they would come, as he was already waiting with tea set out.
"Big brother, you knew in advance we were going to come?" Xue Ke said with a look of surprise and delight to the Yan Ying Douluo, who was arranging the tea, as she turned to Xue Qinghe to ask.
"Of course! I figured that after you came back from seeing father emperor, you would certainly stop by my place in the Crown Prince’s Mansion!" Xue Qinghe said, glancing at Chu Qin with a slightly smug look.
"Eh, Your Highness, you’ve changed your maid?" Chu Qin asked with a slight smile upon noticing the Yan Ying Douluo, whom he had not met before, and said with a bit of shock.
"Her name is Yan Mei!" Xue Qinghe frowned as he introduced her.
Upon hearing this, Chu Qin glanced at Yan Mei, who was arranging the platter. It had to be said that Yan Mei’s figure was truly exceptional, and Chu Qin wondered where Qian Renxue had found her.
At that moment, Chu Qin was about to activate his Eyes of Insight subconsciously, and Yan Mei seemed to sense something was amiss, as she turned around and gave Chu Qin a puzzled look.
Yan Mei and Chu Qin locked eyes, both freezing in place.
"This fellow, could it be that he’s also taken a liking to Mei Auntie?" Xue Qinghe silently mused to himself.
"Humph humph!" Thereupon, Xue Qinghe deliberately coughed twice and said, "Sister, from now on, you’re going to follow Chu Qin. You must treat him well, or else I, as your big brother, will be the first to deal with you!"
"Big brother, aren’t you being partial?" exclaimed Xue Ke, her brows furrowing slightly in discontent, "It’s me who is your sister, not him. You should be saying this to Chu Qin!"
"I know Chu Qin like the back of my hand!" replied Xue Qinghe, "It’s you, with your tricky personality, who’s likely to take advantage of Chu Qin!"
Hearing this, Xue Ke pouted and said no more.
"Your Highness, may I have a word with you in private?" said Chu Qin, returning the smile.
"Sure!"
"Chu Qin, is there something you can’t say in front of me?" asked Xue Ke, her face showing a trace of hurt.
"The secrets between men shouldn’t be shared with girls!" With that one sentence, Xue Qinghe effectively silenced Xue Ke.
"Mei Auntie, ask the kitchen to bring out the desserts; Ke’er likes them!"
With those words, Xue Qinghe and Chu Qin walked shoulder to shoulder into the inner hall, firmly closing the door behind them.
"Go on, tell me, Young Master Chu, why are you seeking me out behind Ke’er’s back?" Xue Qinghe shed his facade to reveal his breathtaking beauty once again.
"Xue’er, I have to ask you, was it your idea that Emperor Xue Ye granted me the kingly peerage and gave me Ke’er?" Chu Qin asked bluntly.
"Giving Ke’er to you was something she talked about with Emperor Xue Ye herself. But proposing the peerage was indeed my idea. Are you not pleased?" Qian Renxue replied, "With the kingly peerage, you won’t be constrained by the Empire, and you’ll have a lofty status that will help you chase girls more effectively."
"Taking advantage of the situation and yet still showing me this attitude!" muttered Qian Renxue to herself.
"Alright, alright, I’m in the wrong!" admitted Chu Qin, as he followed her beautiful curves with his hand and wrapped his arms around her.
"Ah..." The directness of Chu Qin’s action caused Qian Renxue to let out a soft cry.
"Xue’er, is that necessary?" Chu Qin said in an exasperated tone, "Are we really still so shy with each other?"
Qian Renxue replied with a triumphant smile, placing her hand just below Chu Qin’s waist, "I can’t let myself be at a loss!"
Indeed, that position made Chu Qin’s body tremble, and he couldn’t help but say, "Keep your hands to yourself, but don’t move, huh!"
Speaking, Chu Qin’s palm tensed slightly, and he gave a firm pinch!
"Ah, Chu Qin, I am wrong!" Qian Renxue’s stunning face twisted in slight pain, as she quickly pleaded for mercy.
"Do you realize your mistake?" said Chu Qin with an indulgent smile.
"Mhm!" nodded Qian Renxue obediently.
"Then let’s talk serious business!" continued Chu Qin, "Xue’er, since you’ve made me a Prince of the Tiandou Empire and also brought me and Ke’er together, you should know that I might not let you lay a hand on Emperor Xue Ye anymore!"
"Mmm, I know!" Qian Renxue nodded gently.
"So, you’ve thought it all through? What’s your plan?" Chu Qin asked.
"I haven’t figured it out! But now that I have fully taken control of the Tiandou government, it doesn’t matter whether I become the emperor or not. Besides, what was my original intent in seizing the throne? It was to assist Martial Soul Hall’s infiltration plan, to help Bi Bidong unify the continent. Now, because of you, Bi Bidong naturally won’t make a move against the Tiandou Empire, so why should I be in a rush?" Qian Renxue said with a tender smile.
"Do you really think that way?" Chu Qin asked.
"Yes!" Qian Renxue affirmed, "Moreover, I feel that I now have more important things to do!"
"What?"
"Improve my own strength!" Qian Renxue said, her eyes revealing a touch of unwillingness. "You, you actually became a Titled Douluo behind my back! I must speed up my cultivation so I don’t fall too far behind you!"
"Do you want my help?" Chu Qin asked.
"No need! In terms of cultivation, I still have plenty of confidence!" Qian Renxue shook her head, "Just you wait to be surpassed by me!"
"Yeah, you’d better hurry up and advance to the God of Angels so that I can let you know my size!" Chu Qin said with a faint smile.
Qian Renxue was first taken aback, then couldn’t help but punch Chu Qin, "You just love to take advantage of me!"
"What, don’t you want to?" Chu Qin asked with a tilt of his mouth.
"I do!" Qian Renxue said, unconsciously squeezing her legs together.
"Xue’er, you couldn’t be... reacting, could you?" Chu Qin smiled, his gaze drifting toward Qian Renxue’s legs.
"Go to hell, Chu Qin!" Qian Renxue retorted with feigned ferocity but no real strength, "Don’t look!"
"Alright, I’ll stop teasing you!" Chu Qin said, his expression turning slightly serious, "Xue’er, actually, I came here to say goodbye to you for a while!"
"You’re leaving again? Where to?" Qian Renxue’s beautiful eyes dimmed as she spoke.
"Slaughter City!" Chu Qin stated bluntly, "I’m going to become the Killing God of Slaughter City!"
"Slaughter City?" Qian Renxue was first shocked, then her face showed concern, "That is the most evil place in Soul Land, home to countless The Fallen, where death and evil coexist! Chu Qin, can you not go?"
"Xue’er, when have I ever been in danger? And when have I ever been scared?" Chu Qin said gently with a smile, "Or is it that you have no confidence in me?"
"I have confidence in you! But Slaughter City is really different!" Qian Renxue still expressed her worries, "Slaughter City is a place you can only enter and not leave. Over the past thousand years, countless numbers have entered, and only a few have left!"
"In the end, you still don’t have confidence in me!" Chu Qin said with a relaxed smile full of conviction, "Don’t worry, Xue’er, I promise you, within two months, I will be back by your side!"
"Ah, I know I can’t stop you!" Qian Renxue sighed faintly, "And for the next two months, am I to be left alone again?"
"Xue’er..." Chu Qin said, feeling somewhat guilty.
"It’s okay!" Seeing Chu Qin’s concerned expression, Qian Renxue smiled and said, "My sisters are all the same, I won’t complain!"
"Mmm, you’re really kind. I’ll strive to come back sooner!" Chu Qin said, kissing Qian Renxue’s red lips gently.
"Mmm mmm," Qian Renxue nodded vigorously.
"By the way, Xue’er, I want to ask you something!" Chu Qin continued.
"What is it?"
"That Mei Auntie of yours, isn’t she the Elder of Soul Hall, Yan Ying Douluo (Flame Hawk Douluo)?" Chu Qin asked.
"Yes!" Qian Renxue said with a proud smile, "What do you think, isn’t she pretty? And just so you know, Mei Auntie doesn’t have a boyfriend yet!"
"How about this, when you come back from Slaughter City safe and sound, I’ll send Mei Auntie to your place!"
