Douluo:Elf Descends, I Am the Creator God

The reason Salas had swaggered in for a visit, only to leave empty-handed with a darkened expression, was naturally because he was acting.

This performance was for the benefit of Heaven Dou City—or more accurately, for the other factions watching.

Heaven Dou City housed a formidable Titled Douluo with an eight-black-one-red Soul Ring configuration.

If Salas, the master of the Martial Soul Hall overseeing Heaven Dou City, showed no reaction whatsoever, that would have been truly bizarre.

How could that not make others speculate wildly?

Take Ning Fengzhi, for instance, who loved to stir up trouble.

Or that old fox, Xue Ye.

After the two entered the mansion's chambers, Qian Renxue dispelled the disguise granted by her Angel Head Soul Bone.

One piece, two pieces, three pieces…

As the layers diminished, Qian Renxue became increasingly exposed.

"Yunxiao, give me a leg rub, will you?"

"All for the sake of this act, I spent hours today wandering around Heaven Dou City with Xiao Li!"

Without waiting for Yunxiao's response, she promptly draped her long legs over him.

Then, completely disregarding propriety—or the fact that she was practically indecent—she sprawled out in a languid, carefree slump.

"Xiao Xue, you've been getting lazier lately."

"You're the young mistress of the Angel Clan—you should at least maintain some semblance of dignity."

"Right now, you're like a salted fish, too lazy to even flip over."

Though his words chastised her, Yunxiao didn't refuse her request.

His hands soon settled on her thighs, sheathed in black stockings, kneading them while idly toying with her delicate feet.

"Lazy? Dignity? Salted fish?"

"Pfft—Yunxiao, who are we trying to fool here?"

"There's no one else around."

"Let's drop the act, shall we?"

Qian Renxue didn't even bother lifting an eyelid, lazily retorting to Yunxiao's teasing.

They were practically an old married couple—didn't she know her man inside out?

She admitted she wasn't exactly a prim-and-proper little angel…

But her man?

No saint either.

And so, the two resumed their usual mischief.

"Ahem, Xiao Xue, that's not fair."

"I am, after all, the King of the Elf Clan."

"And you, my Queen."

"We ought to set an example for our people."

As the saying went: crude words, but sound reasoning.

Out in the world, strength guaranteed respect—but dignity was something one had to uphold themselves.

"Oh yes, yes, Your Majesty."

"So, would you kindly release my foot now?"

"Honestly, what's with this obsession of yours?"

"Either you're exhausting me or tickling me to death."

With that, Qian Renxue leaned into the foot massage, tossing Yunxiao an exaggerated eye-roll.

Her man was powerful—that much brought her joy.

But some of his… proclivities?

Occasionally left her unbearably flustered.

Not that she minded, of course.

A mischievous smirk curled her lips as these thoughts crossed her mind.

Meanwhile, her other stocking-clad leg found its way… to where it belonged.

"Xiao Xue, what kind of talk is that?"

"Sounds like I'm bullying you."

"I'm just helping you unblock your meridians and relieve fatigue."

Yunxiao retorted in response to Qian Renxue's words.

His attitude was clear:

I heard you, but I'm still going to do this.

"Yunxiao, you bad guy, you really..."

Seeing this, Qian Renxue felt both amused and exasperated.

Seeing how Yunxiao not only doted on her immensely,

but was also so infatuated with her body,

filled her with immense pride.

At this thought, Qian Renxue stopped protesting.

While indulging Yunxiao's preferences,

she also playfully messed with him using her feet.

Half an hour later,

Yunxiao held Qian Renxue in his arms.

"Xiao Xue, you've worked hard."

After nibbling on her red lips a few times, he continued,

"I'm feeling quite heated right now."

"Then you can only..."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue whispered softly in Yunxiao's ear,

"Yunxiao, today is a good day."

"If we put in some effort, I might really conceive a little spirit."

After saying this,

Qian Renxue casually tied up her golden hair.

The setting sun's glow illuminated her exquisite face,

adding a sacred and untouchable aura.

Then, she lazily nestled back into Yunxiao's arms.

"Oh, then today really is a good day."

Understanding her meaning, Yunxiao nodded slightly.

During special times, the chances of conceiving a spirit did increase.

Just then,

Yunxiao thought of something and spoke slowly,

"Ah..."

"Xiao... Xiao Xue."

"After the New Year, I might need to go out for some business."

"Then, the Spirit Academy matters will be left to you."

Remembering what Shui Wuyou had mentioned to him earlier,

Yunxiao felt he needed to make a trip to the Far North.

"Hmm???"

"Going out?"

"How... how long will you be gone?"

"The Spirit Academy's opening ceremony..."

"At... at that time, you'll need to preside over it."

Hearing Yunxiao's words, Qian Renxue responded intermittently.

At her question, Yunxiao stroked his chin.

After some thought, he replied uncertainly,

"If nothing unexpected happens, ten days to half a month should suffice."

"Of course, if any emergencies arise,"

"then it might take one or two months."

The Far North was no small place.

If measured, its territory was nearly half the size of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Hearing this, Qian Renxue didn't press for details about Yunxiao's trip.

As longtime partners, she understood him too well.

If Yunxiao wanted to share something, he would.

If he chose not to, her questioning would be pointless.

Throughout their relationship,

they had always respected and understood each other.

An hour later,

Qian Renxue slowly lifted her head from Yunxiao's embrace.

She licked her pink lips,

then continued speaking,

"Yunxiao, be careful when you go to the Far North."

"If needed, take Shui Wuyou and Huo Wulu with you."

Although taking Shui Wu You and Huo Wu Lu with her

would more or less affect

her upcoming plan to have Su Xiaoli "expose" herself.

But compared to the safety of her man,

these were just trivial matters not worth mentioning.

"Bring Shui Wu You and Huo Wu Lu along?"

"No need, let them stay here instead."

"They can assist with your plans later anyway."

She was just going to the Far North to handle some business.

It wasn't like she was heading into a life-or-death battle.

There was no need to bring those two along.
