Douluo: I became Qian Renxue's sister

Chapter 49 Looking for Xue Qinghe

The night is as dark as ink, and the stars are dotted on the boundless sky, casting a faint glow on every corner of the sunset forest.

Qian Ruyue was like a ghost in the night, moving silently through the woods. Her steps were light and firm, and each step was made on the ground that made the least sound.

In the forest, the cries of various nocturnal spirit beasts came one after another, but these sounds did not disturb her mind. She had only one goal in her mind - Xue Qinghe's bedroom.

She walked as lightly as the wind, with a barely perceptible smile on her lips.

At night, the imperial city of Tiandou Empire looks even more majestic under the moonlight.

Relying on her familiarity with the layout of the imperial palace, Qian Ruyue easily avoided the guards' sight and quietly came to the outside of Xue Qinghe's bedroom.

She gently pushed open a window and landed silently in the room as fast as a swallow.

The candlelight flickered in the room. Xue Qinghe sat at the desk, his brows revealing a hint of sadness and determination.

"Your Highness, long time no see." Qian Ruyue's voice was gentle yet firm, breaking the silence in the room.

Xue Qinghe looked up, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then turned into a gentle smile: "Xiaoyue, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the Spirit Hall at this time? Did Bibi Dong let you out like this?"

"Because I can't wait to see you, I asked her to give me a few days off." Qian Ruyue approached, her eyes full of concern, "How is your plan going?"

Xue Qinghe gently put down the pen in his hand, stood up, walked to Qian Ruyue, and said softly: "Everything is under control. Taking this city is only the first step. But every step must be cautious. After all, this is the core of the Tiandou Empire."

The two smiled at each other. There was no need for many words. The tacit understanding between them was deep enough.

Qian Ruyue looked around. Although the bedroom was luxurious, it could not hide the loneliness. She couldn't help but feel distressed: "It's hard work, being here alone, carrying such a heavy burden."

Xue Qinghe shook his head, his eyes firm: "This is my mission, and it is also my choice. But you, Xiaoyue, how is your cultivation going? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Qian Ruyue smiled slightly, full of confidence: "Don't worry, with my talent, there is no way I will encounter any problems!" As she spoke, she patted her chest lightly.

Xue Qinghe heard this, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes: "That's great, Xiaoyue, your growth rate makes me very happy. It seems that I have to work hard to practice."

As they were talking, footsteps were heard outside the door, followed by a maid's announcement: "Your Highness, the celebration banquet is about to begin. Your Majesty asks you to move to the banquet hall."

Qian Ruyue asked curiously, "Celebration banquet, what celebration banquet?"

"This is a celebration banquet hosted by Xue Ye for the city I captured through negotiations with the Xingluo Empire today. Do you want to join us?" Xue Qinghe asked.

Qian Ruyue shook her head and refused, "No, I'll just wait here for you to come back."

Xue Qinghe nodded and said, "Okay, then you stay here and wait for me to come back. Don't run around."

After saying that, Xue Qinghe walked out of the bedroom.

After Xue Qinghe left, Qian Ruyue stood there quietly, and the silence around her seemed to be waiting for her next move.

She smelled herself carefully and smelled a faint herbal scent, which was the natural scent she had acquired after walking in the forest for a long time.

Qian Ruyue knew that this smell might be unfamiliar to the guards of Xue Qinghe's bedroom, but it could also be a dangerous signal, and she had to make sure that she would not be exposed by these details.

He turned his gaze towards the bathroom, where the light shone softly through the half-open door.

She wanted to go in and take a shower to wash off the strange smell on her body, and then change into clean clothes.

In the bathroom, Qian Ruyue gently undressed her clothes, put them aside, and then stepped into the steam-filled bathtub.

The air is filled with subtle scents of lavender and rosemary, aromas that help to relax the mind and body.

The water temperature in the bathtub was just right, warm but not scalding. Qian Ruyue took a deep breath and immersed herself in this warm embrace.

She closed her eyes, feeling the gentle touch of the water, and the soothing aromas around her.

I used a soft sponge to dip the soap next to it and began to scrub my body gently. The soap foam was rich and delicate.

As she moved, the strange smell on her body was gradually washed away, replaced by the fresh scent of soap and the mixed fragrance of flowers in the bathroom.

After washing away a day's fatigue and body odor, Qian Ruyue stood up from the bathtub and wrapped herself in a clean towel.

She wiped the moisture off her body gently, her movements meticulous and methodical, making sure not to miss any part.

After drying her body, Qian Ruyue picked out a set of clean clothes from the soul guide.

She put her clothes on quickly, adjusting every detail to make sure they were comfortable and made no noise.

Finally, she stood in front of the mirror, checked her outfit, and admired herself.

"It's really beautiful."

He turned around and walked to the bed, sat on it and entered a meditative state, waiting for Xue Qinghe to come back.

She waited and waited, but Xue Qinghe didn't come back for a long time. Until she felt sleepy, Qian Ruyue had no choice but to lie straight on the bed and fell asleep.

It was late at night and the banquet finally ended. Xue Qinghe returned to the bedroom. He saw Qian Ruyue was asleep, so he didn't disturb her.

She pinched her hands and twisted her feet to go to the bathroom, trying to make as little noise as possible.

After a while, Xue Qinghe also changed into pajamas, walked to the bed and lay down. He glanced sideways, quietly watching Qian Ruyue who was sleeping soundly.

The moonlight shines through the window lattice and falls on the two of them, adding a bit of warmth to the quiet night.

Before he knew it, Xue Qinghe had also fallen asleep.

Time passed minute by minute, until the middle of the night, when Xue Qinghe woke up and felt as if something was sticking tightly to him.

However, Xue Qinghe suddenly turned over, and inadvertently, his lips gently touched the corner of Qian Ruyue's mouth. At that moment, time seemed to freeze.

Xue Qinghe was stunned, his heart beat faster, and his cheeks turned slightly red. He realized that his previous actions might have disturbed Qian Ruyue.

He looked at Qian Ruyue cautiously, but found that not only did she not wake up, but she had a faint smile on her face, as if she had encountered something wonderful in her dream.

"Luckily he didn't wake up."

Xue Qinghe sighed softly, and the tension in his heart slowly subsided. He gently placed Qian Ruyue's head on his shoulder so that she could rest more comfortably. His movements were gentle and cautious, for fear of disturbing her sweet dream again.

The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds and shone on the glazed tiles of the prince's bedroom, shining with golden light and looking particularly dazzling.

Qian Ruyue sat up from the bed and rubbed her eyes which were not yet fully open. Her vision gradually focused and she noticed Xue Qinghe beside her.

"Good morning, Xiaoyue." Xue Qinghe greeted softly, with a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in his voice.
