Douluo: Goddess Life Simulator, Qian Renxue Is Addicted

[You went to the Spirit Hall, caused a great commotion, seized Zhou Sheng'an's theoretical research before it could be published, and threatened Salas not to disclose any information about Zhou Sheng'an.]

[With Zhou Sheng'an's theory unpublished, everything remained calm. You deliberately distanced yourself from Zhou Sheng'an for a few days and presented the Edict of Grace ahead of time.]

[As a retainer of the Crown Prince's residence, Zhou Sheng'an, feeling deeply grateful, expressed his wish to take an official post elsewhere.]

...

Qian Renxue's consciousness returned to her body. Seeing the words before her, she let out a sigh of relief.

Although her actions had overshadowed Zhou Sheng'an's brilliance, they had also ensured his safety!

If Zhou Sheng'an's theory were to be published, he would undoubtedly shine in the world of soul masters.

The entire soul master world's attention would be on him. No force, not even the Spirit Hall, could fully guarantee Zhou Sheng'an's safety.

After all, his talent was simply monstrous!

Who knew how far his theories could go?

Any faction that acquired Zhou Sheng'an could experience a qualitative leap in power!

If the Spirit Hall gained Zhou Sheng'an, it would be like adding wings to a tiger—could the two empires sit still?

"This time, I won't let Sheng'an shine in the realm of soul power. Let him be my vassal for now. When I grow stronger, I'll return everything he deserves to him!"

Qian Renxue's gaze was resolute. She wanted to protect Zhou Sheng'an with her own strength!

The scene shifted, and she entered a room within the Crown Prince's residence.

Zhou Sheng'an faced Qian Renxue, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Highness has shown me great favor, but I cannot accept a reward without merit. Since I have been receiving the Crown Prince's stipend, I have a duty to share your burdens."

"I hope Your Highness can recommend me for an official post elsewhere, so that I may fulfill my ambitions."

Zhou Sheng'an's expression was sincere as he looked at Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue hesitated. She didn't want Zhou Sheng'an to leave her sight.

Zhou Sheng'an was no ordinary retainer—he was the man she admired. What woman in love would willingly be separated from her beloved?

But...

Seeing the hopeful expression in Zhou Sheng'an's eyes, Qian Renxue understood that she couldn't keep him caged.

A dragon must return to the sea—Zhou Sheng'an had his own stage.

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, grasped Zhou Sheng'an's hand, and sincerely said, "Sir, you haven't been in my residence for long. Why rush to leave? Stay for another year—use this time to refine your theories..."

"This is my rashness. I shall follow Your Highness's advice," Zhou Sheng'an agreed, subtly withdrawing his hand from Qian Renxue's grasp.

Qian Renxue's face turned slightly awkward. Looking at Zhou Sheng'an's face, a fire burned within her heart.

...

[You invited Zhou Sheng'an to admire the flowers under the moon.]

[You took Zhou Sheng'an to attend the Yuexuan Academy's admission ceremony and even performed for him personally!]

[You encountered an assassination attempt by nobles. To save Zhou Sheng'an, you were forced to reveal your true strength, leading Zhou Sheng'an to discover the truth!]

[You lay side by side with Zhou Sheng'an, held him in your arms, and confided your situation to him...]

The scene shifted again.

Qian Renxue and Zhou Sheng'an lay on the same bed.

It had been half a year since Zhou Sheng'an requested an official post. Because Qian Renxue had persistently built their relationship, Zhou Sheng'an's feelings for her had deepened significantly.

In their simulated relationship, they now slept in the same bed. Zhou Sheng'an even slept on the inner side, facing the wall.

Qian Renxue hugged his waist and suddenly said, "Sheng'an, I know you're awake. I want to tell you something..."

Zhou Sheng'an, slightly intoxicated from Qian Renxue's drinks, stiffened at her words.

"What is it...?" Zhou Sheng'an was still unaccustomed to this situation. At this moment, he still considered Qian Renxue a man, and sleeping so intimately like this had always put pressure on him.

"I'm not Xue Qinghe. My real name is Qian Renxue..."

Qian Renxue then told him her story.

When she was very young, her mother disappeared. When her mother finally returned, Qian Renxue had spent a long time preparing a gift for her. She ran up excitedly to hug her—only to be met with a slap from her mother's shoe.

She was almost kicked to death on the spot!

From that moment on, their relationship grew colder.

Then, when she was ten years old, her father suddenly died of illness. Her mother took power, and Qian Renxue was no longer welcome at home. She had no choice but to follow her grandfather to the mountains.

To prove herself, she risked everything to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace...

As she spoke, Qian Renxue hugged Zhou Sheng'an even tighter. She had shed her male disguise, her curvaceous figure pressing against Zhou Sheng'an's back. In a choked voice, she said,

"Sheng'an, only with you can I open my heart and share all my pain and grievances."

Zhou Sheng'an felt a pang of sympathy.

After half a year of gifts, outings, and shared experiences, his impression of Qian Renxue had greatly improved.

Moreover, she had exposed her disguise because she saved him.

"Your Highness, whether you are Xue Qinghe or Qian Renxue, I will support you."

Zhou Sheng'an spoke with sincerity.

Qian Renxue burst into tears. Sheng'an, her Sheng'an, had not changed at all!

Overcome with emotion, Qian Renxue softly whispered, "Sheng'an, love me..."

!!!

Zhou Sheng'an turned his head and saw Qian Renxue's delicate, vulnerable face. His heart surged with emotion as well...

[That night, you and Zhou Sheng'an became one.]

...

[Spirit Hall Calendar, Year 2024, July 23—The eldest prince of the Barak Kingdom committed fratricide, a grave crime. Emperor Xue Ye ruled that the entire royal family be executed, and the Barak Kingdom was abolished, its territory annexed by the Heaven Dou Empire.]

[With official positions vacant, Zhou Sheng'an volunteered for a post. Though reluctant to part with him, you agreed to his request.]

[Spirit Hall Calendar, Year 2024, August 14—Zhou Sheng'an has assumed office and begun governing his territory. You exchange letters with him. After half a month, your longing grows unbearable, so you set out in a carriage to find him.]

Seeing this, Qian Renxue rubbed her chest and clicked the button to receive her simulated memories.

A wave of pleasure and satisfaction washed over her.

Her eyes sparkled with allure as she examined the system's status panel.

She quickly noticed a new discovery—whenever she chose not to personally experience the simulation, the system would provide a separate panel displaying her personal attributes, including soul power, vitality, emotions, and more.

This allowed her to precisely understand her condition within the simulation.

And in the past month since Zhou Sheng'an left, she had watched her happiness level plummet—from 100 points, it had dropped below the acceptable threshold!

If it fell below 50, she would become depressed!

Suddenly, Qian Renxue understood why her simulated self had traveled to find Zhou Sheng'an.

She was simply bored and lonely to death!

[Upon entering the Barak Kingdom, you arrived at Barton City, where Zhou Sheng'an resided. Outside the city, you observed the hardships of the common people and the struggling economy. You concluded that this was a city of poverty.]

[You did not find Zhou Sheng'an at the City Lord's Mansion. Upon inquiring, you learned that he had gone to the countryside instead.]
