Chapter 107: Qian Renxue’s Unwilling Heart! Why! Being with Xue Tianyu Feels So Secure!

"Stop!!"

Feng Xiaotian shouted at Xue Tianyu, blocking his and Qian Renxue's path.

"Hm?"

Xue Tianyu frowned and looked at Feng Xiaotian. "Something wrong?"

He had no qualms about killing someone in broad daylight. Before, Prince Xue Beng kept provoking him, and he had killed him just like that.

"This… What are you trying to do…"

Feeling Xue Tianyu's gaze, Feng Xiaotian froze.

A terrifying memory resurfaced—the fear from when he was frozen during the tournament.

Cold sweat poured down his face.

'What the hell am I doing? Isn't this just asking for death?'

Feng Xiaotian had only learned the truth about Xue Tianyu after frantically looking up information following the match.

Xue Tianyu had crushed Clear Sky Douluo in the Soul Master Tournament's early stages. He had even executed Prince Xue Beng in broad daylight in the capital for harassing a girl near him.

And what happened afterward?

Emperor Xue Ye didn't even dare to retaliate; instead, he gifted Xue Tianyu the nation's treasure, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, as an apology.

Feng Xiaotian had been utterly stunned upon learning this.

'You already have the power of a Titled Douluo, so why the hell are you competing in the Soul Master Tournament? Do you enjoy bullying rookies?!'

Divine Wind Academy's humiliating loss was all because of a lack of information.

And now, because of Huo Wu, Feng Xiaotian had acted on impulse and blocked Xue Tianyu's path.

The nearby vendors recognized Xue Tianyu as the ruthless student from Tianshui Academy—the one who had defeated Clear Sky Douluo and executed Prince Xue Beng in public.

Seeing another academy's student daring to stand in his way, they immediately gathered to watch the drama unfold.

"This kid's got guts, actually blocking Xue Tianyu."

"Look at his hands shaking—he's scared."

"Haha, he probably regrets it already."

And indeed, Feng Xiaotian's body had gone stiff as realization dawned.

Every step he took from now on had to be incredibly careful, or he'd be dead in an instant.

Feeling Xue Tianyu's growing displeasure, Feng Xiaotian made a desperate decision.

Thud!!

He dropped to his knees before Xue Tianyu.

No one attacks a smiling face.

Feng Xiaotian's sudden kneeling left Xue Tianyu speechless—he couldn't even find a reason to kill him anymore.

"What are you doing?" Xue Tianyu asked, bewildered.

"Please, I beg you, give Huo Wu back to me! Without her, I have no will to live!"

Feng Xiaotian clung to Xue Tianyu's pant leg, his face full of desperation. "She's the only woman I've ever loved! Without her, how am I supposed to go on?"

Xue Tianyu was speechless. He shook his leg free.

'Never seen such a pathetic dog… No, this is beyond pathetic. It's downright pitiful.'

Afraid Xue Tianyu wouldn't agree, Feng Xiaotian quickly added, "I really love Huo Wu! I even became friends with Huo Wushuang just to get close to her!"

Xue Tianyu waved a hand dismissively. "Alright, alright. Kneeling in broad daylight like this isn't good for your academy's reputation."

"I won't get up unless you promise me!" Feng Xiaotian insisted.

Xue Tianyu was getting annoyed. He frowned. "I have no interest in Huo Wu."

"Really?"

Feng Xiaotian was skeptical.

He couldn't believe that Xue Tianyu, who had been so close to Huo Wu, didn't feel anything for her.

"Huo Wu is so beautiful. Are you saying you don't have even a little interest in her?"

To Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu was the most stunning woman in the world.

If it were just a chance encounter, he wouldn't have cared. But he had personally witnessed Huo Wu's affectionate interactions with Xue Tianyu.

Putting himself in Xue Tianyu's place, he knew he wouldn't be able to resist her advances.

Xue Tianyu sighed. He hadn't expected Feng Xiaotian to be this kind of person.

"She might be the most beautiful in your eyes, but to me, she's just average," Xue Tianyu said bluntly.

He had seen far too many beauties.

Compared to Bing Di, Xue Di, and Gu Yuena, Huo Wu wasn't even close. Even Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were on par with her.

"Since you say that, then promise me you won't go near Huo Wu again!"

"???"

Xue Tianyu was full of question marks.

'What the hell? This guy wants to control me now?'

"Are you trying to morally coerce me?"

"No," Feng Xiaotian denied.

But then he pointed at Qian Renxue.

"The woman behind you—she's obviously yours."

"What's your point?" Xue Tianyu frowned, sensing that whatever was coming next wouldn't be good.

"I mean, she wouldn't want to see you two-timing her. She doesn't seem like that kind of woman."

The moment he said it, Feng Xiaotian regretted it.

He had a bad habit of running his mouth, and now, at such a crucial moment, he had misspoken.

But the words had already left his lips—he couldn't take them back.

He could only hope Xue Tianyu wouldn't take offense.

Unfortunately, the next second, Xue Tianyu's aura exploded.

He narrowed his eyes, his voice turning chillingly cold. "You have spoken words worthy of death."

He had insulted Qian Renxue right in front of him.

Unforgivable.

Feng Xiaotian instantly broke into a cold sweat.

Panicked, he stammered, "I-I'm sorry! I misspoke!"

"It's fine."

Xue Tianyu raised his right hand, and the Ice God Spear materialized.

"In your next life, learn to watch your mouth."

"No! Don't kill me!!" Feng Xiaotian's face twisted in terror.

Xue Tianyu didn't waste any more words.

With a thrust of his spear, he pierced through Feng Xiaotian's throat.

Instant kill.

Splurt!!

Blood sprayed.

Feng Xiaotian's head fell to the ground.

Xue Tianyu withdrew his Ice God Spear.

The entire street fell silent.

…

Qian Renxue watched the scene unfold before stepping forward and wrapping her arm around Xue Tianyu's.

'So this is the sense of security Xue Tianyu gives…'

No matter who spoke ill of them, he would stand up for them.

Her heart felt warm, yet the empty feeling inside her still hadn't gone away.

'Why… It's him!'

Qian Renxue sighed internally.

So many words filled her heart, yet none could erase her unwillingness.

As she was lost in thought, an androgynous voice rang out.

"Oh my, Lord Xue Tianyu! This humble servant has finally found you."

Both Xue Tianyu and Qian Renxue turned around in surprise.

A eunuch hurried over, bowing deeply.

"His Majesty has heard of your return and wishes to see you. A banquet has been prepared at the palace tonight in your honor."

"Would Lord Xue Tianyu be available?"

Tonight?

Xue Tianyu smirked.

'Perfect. I was just thinking about taking care of Emperor Xue Ye. Now I have the perfect opportunity.'

Tomorrow, Qian Renxue would ascend the throne.
