Chapter 117: My name is Qian Renxue, it's nice to meet you!
Ye Xuanming looked at the emotionally distraught "Crown Prince" before him and calmly picked up the letter from the ground.
He folded the letter again, then reached out and handed it to the candle flame in front of Xue Qinghe.
When paper comes into contact with fire, it quickly curls up, turns black, and eventually turns into a handful of ashes.
"Some things, once seen, should be forgotten."
Ye Xuanming's voice was very soft.
Xue Qinghe stared blankly at the handful of ashes, his body still trembling slightly.
After a long while, he slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
When he opened his eyes again, the loss of composure and vulnerability had been forcibly suppressed, replaced by a complex emotion mixed with pain and confusion.
"Who...who are you?"
Xue Qinghe, or rather, Qian Renxue, looked Ye Xuanming up and down.
Who I am is not important.
Ye Xuanming shook his head. "The important thing is that we have a common enemy."
He paused for a moment, then continued:
"Your plan might allow you to obtain the Heavenly Dou Empire, but you will never get what you truly desire. But I can help you."
Qian Renxue fell silent.
The atmosphere in the study became incredibly heavy at this moment.
"Join forces?"
She uttered two words, her voice filled with uncertainty.
"Let's join forces." Ye Xuanming nodded.
Qian Renxue looked at him, her expression shifting on the face that belonged to Xue Qinghe.
She was engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
To cooperate with someone of unknown origin who knows everything about you is like asking a tiger for its skin.
But the lure that Ye Xuanming threw was too tempting for her to resist.
Moreover, the extraordinary talent that Ye Xuanming himself displayed was itself a huge asset.
"I...cannot tell you my identity yet," Ye Xuanming added.
This, however, made Qian Renxue more determined.
She slowly stood up and walked to Ye Xuanming.
The distance between the two was less than half a meter.
Ye Xuanming could clearly feel the aura of a powerful person emanating from her.
Suddenly, a soft golden light appeared on Qian Renxue's body.
The light wasn't dazzling, but it made her figure appear somewhat blurry.
Ye Xuanming saw that the pale gold prince's robe was gradually dissolving in the light.
As the light faded, a stunningly beautiful woman appeared before Ye Xuanming.
She wore a simple yet elegant gold palace dress, with a gold stand-up collar protecting her long, slender, white neck.
Her skin was as white as snow, her nose was straight, and her slightly slender phoenix eyes had a natural air of arrogance.
Between her eyebrows was a small six-winged angel mark, and her golden eyes were calm as water.
She was like an angel from mythology, noble and holy, yet possessing an aura of majesty that made people afraid to look directly at her.
A thousand feet of snow.
This is her true nature.
"Now, let's get to know each other again."
Qian Renxue's voice was no longer Xue Qinghe's gentle baritone, but a very pleasant female voice.
She extended her right hand to Ye Xuanming; it was a flawless hand, with slender fingers and skin as white as snow.
"My name is Qian Renxue."
Ye Xuanming looked at her and extended his hand as well.
Their hands clasped together gently.
"Ye Xuanming."
Ye Xuanming's hands were warm and dry, with thin calluses on his palms from years of gun practice.
Qian Renxue's fingertips twitched slightly.
"Aren't you worried that I'll reveal your identity?" Ye Xuanming asked.
"You won't," Qian Renxue replied decisively, releasing her grip.
A confident smile appeared on her face.
"A person who knows all my secrets wouldn't have had to wait until today if they wanted to harm me."
Qian Renxue paused for a moment, then added, "Besides, we're allies now, aren't we?"
After saying the word "ally," Qian Renxue seemed to relax completely.
The sense of oppression brought on by years of disguise was released at this moment.
Qian Renxue circled around Ye Xuanming, her golden phoenix eyes scrutinizing him without any attempt to conceal her gaze.
"Xuanming".
Qian Renxue suddenly spoke, her voice carrying a hint of teasing.
Do I think I'm beautiful?
Ye Xuanming was taken aback.
He took a serious look at the woman in front of him.
He had to admit that Qian Renxue, who had regained her original appearance, was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen in his two lifetimes.
Whether it's Ning Rongrong's charm, Dugu Yan's allure, or Ye Lingling's aloofness, compared to her, they all seem to lack a bit of innate nobility and divinity.
"beautiful."
Ye Xuanming gave an honest answer.
Upon hearing this answer, Qian Renxue's smile grew even brighter.
"That makes me very curious."
Qian Renxue walked up to Ye Xuanming, leaned slightly forward, and a faint fragrance wafted into Ye Xuanming's nose.
"I heard that the old woman from Tianshui Academy was willing to marry you off to the seven prettiest girls in the academy, and you didn't agree?"
Qian Renxue's voice was very low, with a hint of amusement.
"Do you know that Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er are famous throughout Tian Dou City? Countless princes and nobles have wanted to marry them, but none have succeeded."
Ye Xuanming took a half step back, feeling somewhat uneasy.
The Qian Renxue before my eyes is completely different from the gentle and refined "Xue Qinghe" I knew before.
If Xueqing River is a bottomless ancient well, then Qianren Snow is now a burning golden flame, dazzling, eye-catching, and with a strong aggressiveness.
"They are very good, but... perhaps it's just not meant to be."
Ye Xuanming gave a similar answer to the one he gave at Tianshui Academy.
"oh?"
Qian Renxue straightened up, a strange light flashing in her phoenix eyes.
"Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling…"
Qian Renxue softly uttered these three names.
"Is it not meant to be? If it is... would all seven of them be suitable?"
Ye Xuanming smiled slightly but did not respond.
The atmosphere in the study became somewhat subtle because of Qian Renxue's change.
"You can take the item with you now," Qian Renxue suddenly said.
She walked to the desk and pressed an inconspicuous mechanism.
The wall behind the desk slid silently to both sides, revealing a hidden compartment.
Inside the hidden compartment, a palm-sized, blue triangular object floated quietly, emitting a faint blue light.
Vast Ocean and Universe Cover.
Ye Xuanming looked at the treasure, his heart no longer stirred.
Qian Renxue took out the Vast Ocean Universe Cover from the hidden compartment and walked up to Ye Xuanming.
Instead of handing the item directly to him, she leaned close to his ear.
Warm breath brushed against Ye Xuanming's earlobe, bringing a tingling, itchy sensation.
Qian Renxue's voice, tinged with amusement and domineering authority, rang out softly:
"I will make you fall in love with me."
