"Why do you have time to visit me today?"
Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her voice carrying a faint trace of reproach.
It had been over a year since their last meeting!
That insufferable Dai Mubai hadn't come to see her even once during that time.
Today, she was dressed in a white dress trimmed with gold, paired with golden high heels. The sound of her heels clicking against the floor was irregular and slightly chaotic.
After she spoke, her delicate face turned red, and her hands fidgeted awkwardly.
Wasn't her tone just now a little too much like a wife waiting for her husband to come home…?
Dai Mubai's expression twitched. It wasn't that he didn't want to visit her, but he didn't want to disrupt her plans in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Alright, fine, the truth was—he'd forgotten. After all, there was Xiaoxue, Xiaoqing, Zhuqing, Rongrong, and Xiao Wu to deal with on different days…
He was too busy!
He only remembered Qian Renxue today because he happened to pass by the Spirit Hall.
Of course, he couldn't say that.
"I didn't want to disturb your cultivation."
Dai Mubai replied earnestly. How much of that was true, even he wasn't sure.
What lay ahead for him and Qian Renxue, he didn't know either.
Qian Renxue raised her head and locked eyes with him.
It had been over a year. They were both in Heaven Dou City—so close—and he had the nerve to give such a lousy excuse?
Still, since he bothered to make up an excuse, she decided to forgive him.
She knew almost everything Dai Mubai had been up to in Heaven Dou City during the past year.
"It had better be that way," Qian Renxue said, her tone thoughtful as she crossed her arms. She cast him a sidelong glance, her demeanor cold but tinged with hidden warmth.
Dai Mubai opened his mouth to respond, but before he could speak, Qian Renxue cut him off with an indifferent question:
"So, what brings you here today?"
Hmph! He wouldn't have remembered me if he didn't have a reason!
"Nothing much, just thought we could… try dual cultivation together."
"???"
Qian Renxue froze, her face instantly flushed red.
No, she must have misunderstood his words!
The so-called "dual cultivation" wasn't that kind of dual cultivation.
Their Martial Souls had a fusion compatibility of over 95%. Training together would not only purify their soul power but also accelerate their cultivation speed.
It was a mutually beneficial practice.
Still, his wording was so suggestive it nearly broke her composure…
Dai Mubai had only said it as a convenient excuse. Dual cultivation? At his current rate of improvement, he didn't really need the marginal boost.
"Alright, follow me," Qian Renxue replied with a nod.
This was the main hall of the Spirit Hall, an unsuitable place for cultivation. Such activities required privacy and quiet.
After weaving through corridors, Qian Renxue led Dai Mubai to a secluded secret room.
The room was sparsely furnished, with only a single bed.
"A secret room… and the surname Qian…"
Dai Mubai's mouth twitched. Do all people surnamed Qian have a penchant for secret rooms?
Noticing his strange expression, Qian Renxue asked, "What's wrong?"
After asking, she added:
"This place is quiet. Even if there's noise, no one outside will notice."
Her words made Dai Mubai's gaze even more peculiar.
Right—whatever happens in a secret room can't be heard or seen from outside.
Even a Titled Douluo couldn't detect the activities within without Qian Renxue's permission.
She wasn't wrong—if they trained together, the fluctuations might indeed be intense. This was the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, after all; training in the open could risk exposure. The secret room was undoubtedly the safer option.
"Nothing. I just think the environment here is… well, let's say, very nice."
Dai Mubai replied, feigning sincerity.
"As long as you like it."
"…"
Like it? Sure… but with Qian Renxue, maybe it's not so bad after all.
As the most beautiful woman on the Douluo Continent, Qian Renxue was quite different from Zhu Zhuqing and the others. She wasn't just stunning—she exuded maturity and elegance.
"Alright, let's begin and see how it goes."
"Got it."
Qian Renxue removed her high heels, revealing her delicate, translucent feet. Before Dai Mubai could admire them, she had already sat cross-legged.
Following her lead, Dai Mubai also sat cross-legged.
They exchanged a glance, placed their palms together, and began the soul power exchange.
Golden holy light filled the secret room, occasionally interspersed with streams of gray energy.
Time passed, and as they cultivated, Qian Renxue's brows furrowed. Something wasn't right.
Her expression grew increasingly strange, as if she had encountered something completely unexpected.
After a long time, the two of them simultaneously opened their eyes.
A trace of astonishment flickered in Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes.
Something about their connection wasn't simple at all.
They had not just one but two Martial Soul Fusion Techniques!
"How is this possible?"
Qian Renxue thought to herself. Two Martial Souls fusing to produce two techniques was unheard of.
What's more, Dai Mubai possessed a second Martial Soul, and this Martial Soul also had a fusion capability with her Six-Winged Angel.
Her previous estimate of their compatibility—95%—had been wrong. Their fusion compatibility was 100%, a perfect match.
This wasn't just a high degree of harmony. It was as if their Martial Souls were naturally meant to be one!
Dai Mubai blinked, his thoughts mirroring hers. But what stunned him even more was that they didn't just have two fusion techniques.
They had four.
Six-Winged Angel + White Tiger Holy King.Six-Winged Angel + Netherworld Envoy.White Tiger Holy King + Netherworld Envoy.All three together: Six-Winged Angel + White Tiger Holy King + Netherworld Envoy.
Their perfect fusion compatibility meant that any combination of their Martial Souls could produce a unique fusion technique.
Even more astonishing, the two of them had achieved a three-in-one Martial Soul Fusion Technique!
"In a hundred years, you're the third person to possess twin Martial Souls."
Qian Renxue's tone softened, her gaze filled with a newfound warmth.
"And to think your soul power level is almost catching up to mine."
As expected of the man destined to be mine… so exceptional.
"You found out! What, feeling pressured now?"
Dai Mubai teased with a smirk.
As he spoke, he unconsciously reached out to stroke her hair—a habitual gesture of his.
To his surprise, Qian Renxue didn't dodge. Her ears turned red, but she said nothing to stop him.
"Before you reach the Titled Douluo level, don't add any spirit rings to your second Martial Soul," Qian Renxue advised gently, lowering her head.
"I'll figure out a way to help you safely add spirit rings to it without risking backlash. For now, hold off."
"Hiss…"
Dai Mubai sucked in a breath, internally marveling.
This sister… she's amazing.
