Chapter 60 Qian Renxue's Panic!
The Eastern Palace of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound broke the silence of the study.
That was the sound of a fine white jade teacup shattering on the ground.
Qian Renxue, disguised as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, is standing stiffly in front of the window.
Those usually calm and calculating eyes were now wide open, staring intently at the girl in the sky, their pupils trembling violently.
Her breathing became rapid, her chest heaving violently, as if she were witnessing the most incredible, absurd, yet terrifying thing in her life.
"This—how is this possible?!"
Qian Renxue's voice was even slightly off-key. She subconsciously took two steps forward, bracing her hands on the windowsill, her knuckles turning white from the force. "Liu—Liu Ying?!"
She recognized the face.
No, it's not just about knowing each other.
For the royal family members and noble sons who have lived in Tiandou City for a long time, this face is all too familiar!
Right at the corner of the most bustling commercial street in Tiandou City, there is a dessert shop called "Firefly Glimmer".
The shop is small, but its decor is very stylish, warm and elegant.
The cakes and related desserts there became a sensation in the upper class of Tiandou City.
The shop manager was a silver-haired girl named Liuying.
The memories in Qian Renxue's mind surged wildly.
She recalled how she had frequented that dessert shop many times in order to disguise herself as a courteous and refined prince.
In my memory, Ying always wore a pale yellow apron, carried a tray, and had a sweet, healing smile on her face.
Her voice was as soft as cotton candy, and she was extremely patient with every guest.
"Your Highness, this is a freshly baked chocolate cake. Would you like to try some?"
"The sun is shining brightly today, Your Highness, please take a rest."
That girl who was too shy to speak loudly, and who would stop and gaze tenderly at fireflies as they flew by—
That dessert shop manager who looked so frail and boneless, as if she couldn't even kill a single soul beast—
It was actually Sam, the Grammer Iron Cavalryman, who could destroy a galaxy with a single blow and treat billions of insect swarms as mere weeds in the sky?!
"Gurgle."
Qian Renxue swallowed hard, a chill of unprecedented cold rushing from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, instantly soaking the clothes on her back.
Cold sweat poured down my face uncontrollably.
She felt a strong sense of lingering fear, even horror.
Qian Renxue felt her scalp tingle and her legs go weak.
"if----"
Qian Renxue trembled as she held onto the chair and slowly sat down, her voice terribly dry.
She suddenly wondered what would have happened if Liu Ying had come to Tian Dou City and been targeted by a group of spoiled brats.
She dared not think about it.
Based on Sam's combat power displayed on the sky, destroying a planet would only require a single strike.
If Firefly was in a bad mood at the time...
Not to mention those few纨绔 (spoiled brats), not to mention Tian Dou City, the entire Tian Dou Empire, and even the entire Douluo Continent, would probably have turned into dust in the universe in that instant!
"A swarm of ants dancing beneath the breath of a dragon—"
Qian Renxue covered her forehead and let out a self-deprecating bitter laugh.
She always thought she was very well hidden. As the young master of the Spirit Hall, she had been infiltrating an enemy country for twenty years, possessed a six-winged angel spirit, and had innate full spirit power of level 20. She was a genius that was unique in the world.
She was proud of it, even somewhat arrogant.
But now, reality has given her a harsh slap in the face.
The real "god" is hiding right under her nose, baking cakes for her, smiling at her, and even being harassed by a group of trash who aren't even Soul Masters!
This is simply the world's greatest black humor!
"No wonder—no wonder I never sensed any soul power fluctuations from her," Qian Renxue murmured to herself.
"That's not soul power at all; that's technology, the power of reproduction, a power system that transcends the rules of this world! How could I possibly sense it?"
At this moment, it's not just Qian Renxue.
The entire noble circle of Tiandou City was in an uproar.
Countless dukes and marquises, upon seeing that familiar face on the sky, were so frightened that they rolled off the sofa.
Those who had once made a ruckus in the dessert shop, or even harbored disrespectful thoughts towards fireflies, were now ashen-faced, trembling all over, wishing they could dig a hole and bury themselves immediately.
"Oh my god! It's Miss Firefly?!"
"I—I complained to her yesterday that the cake was too sweet—am I going to die?"
"Quickly! Prepare a generous gift! No! Empty the family treasury! Go apologize! Kneel at the shop entrance and apologize!!"
The entire Tiandou City was plunged into a bizarre state of panic and madness.
Inside the study of the Eastern Palace, Qian Renxue forced herself to calm down. After all, she was the successor of the Spirit Hall who had undergone rigorous training, and her mental fortitude far surpassed that of ordinary people.
"Calm down—you must calm down."
She took a deep breath, rubbing her throbbing temples, her mind racing.
"Since Liu Ying chose to live in anonymity and open a dessert shop, it means she's tired of fighting and just wants a peaceful life."
.
"The celestial screen said that she is a weapon of the Grammer Empire, born for war. Perhaps it is because she has experienced too much killing and destruction that she cherishes this ordinariness so much."
Qian Renxue's gaze gradually sharpened.
"We must not disturb her."
That was the only conclusion she came to.
Whether it's trying to win someone over, testing them, or even offering so-called "protection," it's all a foolish provocation in the face of absolute power.
If the Spirit Hall learns of this and sends someone to contact Liu Ying, what if it offends her...?
Qian Renxue couldn't even bear to imagine the consequences. It would be the end of the Spirit Hall, and the end of the world.
"Over there with her—" Qian Renxue frowned.
She knows Bibi Dong too well.
That madman might do something that the entire Douluo Star will regret.
If she finds out about Liuying's existence, who knows what stupid things she might do.
"No, I must stabilize the situation."
Qian Renxue suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the small study. Her long golden hair swayed with her movements, revealing her inner anxiety.
"We should treat Liu Ying like royalty, like an ancestor! As long as she's happy, as long as she's willing to continue being the manager of her dessert shop, that's the greatest fortune for the entire Douluo Star!"
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue immediately called out towards the door, "Cixue! Yu Long!"
Two dark figures instantly appeared in the study; they were the two Title Douluos who had been lurking beside her. At this moment, these two powerful figures also wore undisguised horror on their faces, clearly recognizing the person on the sky.
"Young Master—" Bloodthirsty Douluo's voice trembled slightly.
"Listen!" Qian Renxue's expression was stern, her tone more grave than ever before. "Pass down the order: utilize all our hidden agents in Tiandou City to closely monitor the area around the 'Firefly' dessert shop."
"Remember, it's about paying attention, not monitoring!"
"Anyone who dares to harass Liu Ying, no matter who they are, even if they are a prince or a duke, will be dragged away and punished!"
"Make sure it's clean, don't let Miss Firefly see the blood, don't spoil her mood!"
"Also, a warning to the people at the Spirit Hall: anyone who dares to set their sights on Liu Ying, I, Qian Renxue, will be the first to not let them off the hook!"
'
The two titled Douluos exchanged a glance and replied in unison, "Yes! We understand!"
They knew in their hearts that this was no ordinary mission; it was about maintaining world peace! Protecting the fireflies was protecting everyone's lives!
After arranging everything, Qian Renxue slumped weakly into a chair, looking at the silver-haired girl gradually waking up in the sky, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
"Is this the number one martial spirit in the world?!"
"Firefly, oh firefly, you've really given me a huge problem."
She rubbed her temples, feeling a splitting headache.
Originally, they were planning how to poison Emperor Xueye and how to seize the Tiandou Kingdom. Now it seems that in front of the great god Liuying, these so-called imperial power and hegemony are as laughable as children playing house.
"well----"
Qian Renxue sighed deeply, her gaze turning towards the dessert shop outside the window with a complex expression.
"Looks like I'll have to go eat cake more often from now on. Not for any other reason than to see if this lady is in a good mood today—"
At the same time, the images on the sky changed again.
The golden light converged again, and the sense of authority that once belonged to the rankings returned.
[Douluo Star: Top Ten Goddesses Ranking - End of Review!]
[Next, the rewards for making the list will be distributed!]
Upon hearing these words, the crowd, who were initially immersed in fear and shock, instantly began to breathe heavily.
So, how incredible must this reward from the heavens be?
