"Uh..."
Li Yu was momentarily unsure how to respond.
What had Bibi Dong done to him?
Naturally, nothing much, just a brief sneak attack.
However...
Li Yu was uncertain about how he should act in response to Qian Renxue current reaction. He couldn't quite figure out what attitude he should release.
He couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
He should never have mentioned anything related to other women...
"Nothing much..."
Li Yu shook his head helplessly, then turned to pull Qian Renxue into his arms. "That's not the point. Shouldn't you be more concerned about how strong I am right now?"
"Think about it..."
"When we get to Soul Master City, with all those people watching, I'm an eighteen or nineteen-year-old weak woman, and then—boom—soul rings appear!"
"Hah, seven rings, and the colors of my soul rings... Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
"I can't even imagine the expressions on their faces when that happens!"
He had already come up with a reason for the color of his soul rings, which he had also shared with Qian Renxue.
It was a mutation...
It was a little new, but he was getting used to it.
And this time, Zhu Zhuqing and... the other witness, were around.
Of course.
In reality, given his current strength, even without making up any excuses, just revealing his special circumstances to others, he wasn't afraid anymore!
He wasn't afraid of typical Title Douluos.
As for the top-tier Title Douluos...
He assumed that they must know something about the divine examination. The opportunities contained within it, like the existence of people like Qian Xunji, were no secret.
So.
Such extraordinarily powerful figures probably wouldn't even be interested in his opportunities.
The divine examination couldn't be won just by competing.
They knew that!
As a result, Li Yu now felt somewhat fearless.
If it really came to it...
With his [Elemental Dissolution], he could easily escape. All he had to do was hide for a while, and he could even upgrade all his soul rings and soul bones to the million-year level.
By then, even if gods descended, he could still try to challenge them.
Moreover...
Li Yu had already made some guesses regarding the rewards from [Spirit Schedule].
Given how far he had come, what kind of rewards could [Spirit Schedule] give him that would improve him further?
Additionally.
Looking at the names of his current soul bones...
[Eternal Spirit Skull]
[Elemental Spirit Left Leg Bone]
[Spirit Adornment]
[Spirit Wings]
[Dark Demon Spirit Guardian]
...
This was practically just a template of the Angel God's inheritance set, wasn't it?
It was clearly an Elemental Spirit Set!
So.
It wasn't hard to guess what rewards [Spirit Schedule] would give him—something related to gods!
And this process might actually be part of the divine examination!
Or perhaps, from the beginning with the [Crossdressing Schedule], the divine examination had already begun!
As for the [Crossdressing System]...
Li Yu couldn't help but entertain more guesses, but for now, they all seemed to be illusions.
He pushed those thoughts down and refocused on Qian Renxue in his arms.
"You're so beautiful!"
Qian Renxue trusted Li Yu deeply, so it was easy for him to shift the topic.
But although she said that, there was a glimmer of yearning in her eyes.
Yes!
At eighteen or almost nineteen, Li Yu was bound to amaze the world when he revealed his true strength in the Soul Master Tournament!
His strength, opportunities, and talent were indeed formidable!
"I need to work even harder!"
Qian Renxue murmured to herself, then her gaze flashed, and suddenly her hands reached up to touch Li Yu face.
Their eyes met.
Li Yu was a bit confused.
Qian Renxue eyes were full of seriousness.
"Yu'er, if I've hidden something from you, something very important, would you be upset with me?"
Hmm?
Li Yu was momentarily stunned, but then he realized what Qian Renxue was referring to.
He smiled, but then his expression became serious. "Well, if I've also hidden something very important from you, would you be upset with me?"
Qian Renxue hadn't expected Li Yu to ask this in return, and she froze for a moment.
But instinctively, she shook her head. "No."
Li Yu smiled again. "Then I won't either!"
Then, their gazes drew even closer, almost merging, and heavy breathing followed shortly after.
It seemed they both had mutual sincerity.
The difference was.
Li Yu knew exactly what Qian Renxue was talking about.
But Qian Renxue believed that what Li Yu was referring to was his own divine inheritance!
After learning about the Angel God's inheritance, she was certain that Li Yu must also have divine inheritance opportunities.
Otherwise, there was no way he could improve so quickly.
And this...
She had already subtly inquired about it from her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, who had given her an affirmative response.
Qian Daoliu was extremely doting on Qian Renxue.
He was very aware of her circumstances.
So, Li Yu had naturally already entered his sights.
However.
Out of respect for Qian Renxue and because Li Yu was a woman, Qian Daoliu had not intervened.
He was very clear that two women could not have anything happen between them.
On the other hand, Li Yu talent had surprised even Qian Daoliu, who was a 99th-level Limit Douluo.
As a result, Qian Daoliu paid even more attention.
Of course, this was not from direct observation but from reports from his subordinates.
Li Yu terrifying soul ring combinations and his soul power growth speed.
Naturally, he had analyzed Li Yu opportunities.
In Qian Daoliu eyes, only gods could increase the age of soul rings!
If Li Yu were an enemy and had control over such opportunities, Qian Daoliu would not sit idly by.
But...
Li Yu was an ally, and he was involved with Qian Renxue...
So, he had given up on the idea of eliminating such an opportunity.
He wasn't so idle that he'd provoke a god just to alleviate his boredom.
...
...
The next day.
Qian Renxue woke up early. She kissed Li Yu on the cheek and softly said, "After the Soul Master Tournament, I will tell you everything. No matter what choice you make, I won't blame you!"
She paused. "At that time, whether it's something you're destined for or not, it will belong to you!"
"Okay!"
Qian Renxue nodded.
"Okay!"
Li Yu nodded too.
After a long, tender moment, Qian Renxue left.
Li Yu lay on the bed, his mind wandering.
It had been about half a year since he arrived in this world.
After spending so much time with Qian Renxue, how could he not have feelings?
Even though...
He had taken advantage of a few situations and had enjoyed some eye candy.
But honestly, he didn't have any improper thoughts.
Otherwise...
Whether it was Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, or even more people.
By now, they would have already been "taken."
His experience from his past life told him—
"If others treat me sincerely, I will also treat them sincerely; if they think of others, I think only of them!"
