Chapter 190: 186. Visit
Soon after, Ling Yuan Douluo had emptied the hot tea and replaced it with cold tea.
Qian Renxue refilled Qian Renjue's cup with the iced tea to cool him down.
"Jue, drink this."
"Thank you, sister."
Qian Renjue didn't think much of it, assuming Qian Renxue just wanted to change the flavor.
Hu Liena, still uneasy, approached the table again, glancing at the blur-haired girl kneeling nearby, holding her earlobe with a pitiful expression.
Suddenly, Hu Liena felt a sense of camaraderie
She had knelt like that many times before.
If it hadn't been for her senior brother pleading on her behalf, she would've had to amputate her legs
But as she glanced at her again, Hu Liena noticed something that made her eyes narrow in distaste—the very weapon that had always been a temptation to seduce her senior brother: smooth, white, and round.
She immediately lost any sympathy she had.
"Hu Liena, pull up her clothes," Qian Renxue suddenly commanded.
"Huh?"
Qian Renjue raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued as he turned to look, only for his vision to go dark.
A warm hand gently pressed against his face—Qian Renxue's delicate hand covered his eyes.
"Jue, it's better for you to calm down first."
"Huh?! Oh, okay."
Qian Renjue immediately sat upright, slightly embarrassed as he adjusted his disheveled clothes.
Qian Renxue chuckled softly, glancing at his still-open collar, her gaze lingering for a moment.
Hu Liena watched the strange interaction between the siblings with a confused look.
Ling Yuan Douluo, standing nearby, caught the details and had an odd expression.
"Why are you just standing there?"
Qian Renxue coldly glanced at Hu Liena.
"Ah? Yes, Miss Xue, I'll take care of it right away," Hu Liena hurriedly squatted beside the silver-haired girl.
Amid her embarrassed and ashamed gaze, Hu Liena lightly touched the smooth, soft mountains as she pulled the blue-haired girl's collar up.
At that moment, all sympathy vanished from Hu Liena's heart. This plant... posed a huge threat!
"Sister, can I at least finish fixing my clothes first?" Qian Renjue, having his sight restored, asked immediately.
"Of course."
Qian Renxue, unable to suppress a smile, gently patted his firm chest as she tidied him up with a grin.
Finally feeling somewhat at ease, Qian Renjue glanced at Ling Yuan and Hu Liena, feeling that they were guilty of something—like he was being ogled.
"By the way, Jue," Qian Renxue said as she took a sip of Qian Renjue's iced tea and got down to business.
Glancing at the blue-haired girl still kneeling beside him, her eyes complicated, she continued, "Why are you keeping her so close to your heart? Have you forgotten what she is?!"
Qian Renxue frowned, her worry evident.
Her harsh treatment of the blue-haired girl was directly tied to her identity.
In the past, when she was merely the Blue Silver Emperor in plant form, Qian Renxue could turn a blind eye.
But now, she had taken human form—and not just any form, but one of undeniable allure.
Even though she looked different from five years ago, the divine beings manipulative powers at play were hard to guard against.
Qian Renxue had no desire for Qian Renjue to fall for this plant.
Playing around was one thing, but he couldn't get emotionally attached, much less leave behind any offspring.
But for Jue, that might be difficult.
Qian Renjue understood her concern and explained, "Sister, she's a completely new being now. She only retains the memories of her predecessor. I've even renamed her 'Qian Yiner.'"
"A new being? Qian Yiner?"
Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow. This was not something she had anticipated.
"Yes, I used a special formula to cultivate her, so she's deeply connected to me," Qian Renjue nodded.
Before he could explain his [Spiritual Plant Cultivation], a weak voice came from beside him.
"Master~ I can't go on anymore."
The blue-haired girl looked up slightly, her full figure glowing faintly, as if she were about to collapse, barely visible.
"Master~ I want to eat you," she murmured, staring longingly at Qian Renjue, her words causing Qian Renxue to frown deeply, her voice carrying a hidden threat.
"Jue, this deeper connection you mentioned—don't tell me it's... physical relationship?"
"What?!"
Qian Renjue's expression turned awkward, caught between laughter and tears.
"Sister, of course not. She just needs my blood to maintain her human form."
"Oh... is that so."
Qian Renxue blushed slightly, her thoughts drifting to other types of connections, like dependence or servitude.
With a thought, Qian Renjue sent the cup on the blue-haired girl's head floating back to the table. He extended his finger towards her and instructed, "Get up now. You can only have a little."
"Thank you, Master!"
Ah Yin stood up quickly, almost throwing herself into Qian Renjue's arms to bite his neck, but froze when she saw Qian Renxue.
Reluctantly, she took his warm hand and gently placed his finger in her mouth.
Qian Renjue felt a slight pain as her teeth pierced his skin, drawing blood.
Ah Yin lightly sucked on his fingertip
After a while, she lifted her head. There was no wound, no trace of blood on his finger.
The color seemed to have shifted to her face, giving her a dazed, almost sickly appearance, like a fragile but infatuated young woman.
"Alright, go rest. There's nothing more for you to do for now."
"Yes!"
At his command, Ah Yin nodded obediently and, she dissolved into blood-red threads that surged into Qian Renjue's chest.
"Huh?"
Curious, Qian Renxue reached out, intending to inspect the tattoo on Qian Renjue's chest.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Qian Renjue moved to cover his collar, but Hu Liena had already grabbed his hand.
"Senior Brother, let me clean it for you," Hu Liena said as she dipped his finger into her teacup, slowly cleaning it.
When his fingertip emerged, it glistened, and Hu Liena carefully wiped it clean.
"..."
Qian Renjue rolled his eyes, looking at his exposed chest, feeling utterly helpless.
Ling Yuan Douluo looked away, her expression hard to read.
"Why does the tattoo have to be right over your heart?" Qian Renxue muttered with displeasure before relaxing.
It seemed this plant posed no real threat—aside from its need for blood.
"Miss, Young Master Jue, Dugu Bo requests an audience," came a voice from outside the room.
"Let him wait."
Qian Renxue glanced towards the door before turning her attention back to fixing Qian Renjue's clothes.
"Let's go. Your little maid should be back by now."
"Alright."
Qian Renjue nodded.
He also needed to ask Dugu Yan to arrange a meeting with Ye Lingling.
As the siblings rose and walked towards the door, Qian Renxue suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, where's that rabbit you used to carry around?"
"I released it back into the wild," Qian Renjue replied with a smile.
After everything that happened with Ah Yin, Qian Renxue didn't ask further.
She just nodded. That rabbit had been around for years; it was time to let it go.
As they stepped outside, they were greeted by respectful voices.
"Dugu Bo (Dugu Yan) greets Your Highness and Miss Xue."
