Douluo Dalu: Qian Renxue's Younger Brother

Chapter 191: 187. Jealous And Hidden Ambition



-

An old man and a young girl stood at the door.

Dugu Bo, looking taller and more imposing than before, had gray robes and green eyes.

However, the most noticeable change was his now jet-black and shiny hair.

After reaching the rank of titled Douluo and forming his poison core, Dugu Bo no longer had to worry about his snake venom.

Beside him stood a tall, graceful girl with striking purple hair—Dugu Yan.

She was in her prime, just a year older than Hu Liena, with beautiful features and enchanting green eyes.

Bowing respectfully, her eyes sparkled with joy as she stared at the approaching young man.

Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue walked side by side, with Ling Yuan and Hu Liena following closely behind.

Qian Renjue paused, noticing Dugu Yan's gaze.

He gently released Qian Renxue's hand and, with a warm smile, stepped forward.

Placing his hand on her lowered head, he gently ruffled her hair and spoke softly, "Yanyan, you've grown taller over the past two years."

"Mhm~" Dugu Yan lowered her eyes, her face turning red as the warmth from his palm spread through her body.

Her cheeks blushed a deep red without her realizing it.

Qian Renxue wasn't bothered by this, knowing Dugu Yan was the personal maid she had chosen for her brother.

However, Hu Liena, standing behind, pursed her lips, feeling irritated.

This woman, how could she 'develop' better than me?

And now she's blushing—such a flirt!

She was convinced Dugu Yan had impure intentions toward her senior brother.

"Haha..." Qian Renjue chuckled lightly and looked toward Dugu Bo with approval.

He asked, smiling, "Senior Dugu, how has your cultivation progressed over the last two years?"

"Thanks to Your Highness's kindness, I've tried my best, but my mediocre talent has left me still a bit short of reaching level 92 after two years of being a titled Douluo." Dugu Bo replied humbly, his words tinged with both regret and determination.

For the past two years, he had spent most of his time at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, following Qian Renjue's instructions to guard the area while also cultivating rare immortal herbs.

Despite his dedication, he had yet to break through.

"Senior Dugu, you're too modest. To become a titled Douluo is no small feat. How can you call yourself mediocre?" Qian Renjie shook his head, his hand still gently ruffling Dugu Yan's hair.

He smiled, "Reaching the peak of soul master is never easy. I wish you success in your future breakthroughs."

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will do my best." Dugu Bo bowed in gratitude.

He was well aware of his own limitations.

Without the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well suppressing his snake venom, he would've been dead long ago.

Being taken under Qian Renjue's wing was a blessing he never expected.

"Alright." Qian Renxue interrupted at the right moment, glancing at Dugu Xin, who was waiting nearby. "Is the lunch banquet ready?"

"Yes, Miss Xue, everything is prepared."

"Good. Jue, let's go. We can talk while we eat." Qian Renxue linked arms with Qian Renjue and gestured to the others. "Snake Lance, you two come as well."

"Yes!" Snake Lance and Porcupine Douluo replied in unison.

Before Dugu Xin could lead the way, Dugu Yan quickly raised her head, placing her hands over the Renjue's pam "Your Highness, let this maid guide you."

"Mhm," Qian Renjie nodded slightly, no longer feeling awkward about how she addressed herself.

After all, he had grown used to the many flattering titles people in Spirit City used for him.

Hearing how Dugu Yan referred to herself, Hu Liena's eyes glinted briefly, feeling a sense of pride.

Dugu Yan grabbed Qian Renjue's hand with joy, though she toned down her excitement when she felt Qian Renxue watching her.

As she looked back, she noticed the unfamiliar face of Hu Liena, whose expression seemed tinged with hostility.

Curious, Dugu Yan raised her green eyes and asked, "Your Highness, who is this...?"

"This is my junior sister, Hu Liena."

Before Qian Renjie could finish speaking, Hu Liena swiftly stepped forward, as if trying to snatch Qian Renjue's arm from Dugu Yan.

With a cheerful smile, she introduced herself, "Hello! I'm Hu Liena, 11 years old, Martial Soul Demon Fox, 42 level control-type battle soul master."

"An eleven-year-old Soul Master?!" Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin's eyes widened in disbelief.

After finishing her sentence, pink light rapidly emanated from Hu Liena's body, and the Charming Fox Martial Soul coiled behind her.

Four soul rings—three purple and one black—shone brightly beneath her.

"Hiss—!" Dugu Xin gasped in shock.

Dugu Yan's eyes flashed with surprise.

She had thought her talent, with Qian Renjue's help, was unmatched among her peers.

But now, she realized his junior sister was even more powerful—and clearly not here in a friendly manner.

Her pretty face immediately turned cold as she stared directly at Hu Liena.

She wasn't the type to back down!

While she was willing to be a docile beauty, submissive and do anything for Qian Renjue's pleasure.

To others, she was a cold, terrifying serpent, capable of taking lives.

"I am Dugu Yan, His Highness's personal maid," she said coldly, emphasizing the word personal.

Her three soul rings—one yellow and two purple—appeared quickly, and her lower half transformed into a snake tail that lightly brushed against Qian Renjue's ankle.

Her cold green pupils stared down Hu Liena.

"Twelve years old, Martial Soul Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, level 36 control-type soul master!"

"Hmm?" Hu Liena was slightly taken aback. She didn't expect Dugu Yan to be this troublesome.

The two girls tugged at Qian Renjue's sleeves, locking eyes for several tense breaths.

Qian Renxue narrowed her phoenix-like eyes, filled with coldness.

Who would have thought that both the seductress she trained and her maid had rebellious spirits!

Despite her warnings, they were already fighting for Qian Renjue's attention right in front of her.

Though she remained calm, she made a mental note to discipline them both later, harshly.

Ling Yuan silently observed the two girls.

She felt lucky her situation was different.

Otherwise, she might have been just as manipulated by Miss Xue.

After all, she had seen how Ah Yin was toyed with, and she knew she would have suffered the same fate.

"Dugu Yan?" Hu Liena raised an eyebrow, pretending to be surprised.

She had long known about Qian Renjue's connection to this girl.

Smiling playfully, she said, "Since you're my senior brother's maid, shouldn't you call me Miss Nana as well?"

"Hmm?" Qian Renxue was briefly stunned, nearly laughing out loud from Hu Liena's audacity.

This girl sure has wild ambitions!

Hu Liena suddenly felt a chill down her spine, though she wasn't sure why.

Qian Renjue frowned, sensing the atmosphere had taken a strange turn

He raised his fist to Hu Liena's head

"Ahh!" Hu Liena suddenly cried out, clutching her head in pain, all her earlier arrogance gone.

Dugu Yan hadn't spoken a word. She glanced curiously at Qian Renjue.

"Senior brother...?" Hu Liena's eyes watered as she looked at Qian Renjue, confused.

"Who told you to show off like that?" Qian Renjue scolded her, glaring slightly.
