Transforming into his human form, Ling Yun held the puppet Tian Xue Diao in his arms and arrived outside the Crown Prince's residence. He raised his hand and knocked on the mansion's door.
After a moment, two fully armed guards opened the door and stepped out. Seeing the puppet Tian Xue Diao in Ling Yun's arms, they questioned him with suspicion.
"Who are you, and why are you holding my master's pet?"
Ling Yun did not answer directly. Instead, he controlled the puppet Tian Xue Diao to ask the guards.
"Has Sister Xue'er returned yet?"
The two guards dared not offend their master's pet, nodding repeatedly.
"The Crown Prince has already returned to the residence; he is currently having his meal."
Ling Yun then had the puppet Tian Xue Diao introduce him to the guards.
"This handsome, charming, and utterly irresistible gentleman is my honored guest.
Step aside immediately and do not be rude to him, or Sister Xue'er will give you a harsh lesson."
Controlling the puppet Tian Xue Diao, Ling Yun shamelessly praised himself, even slightly tilting his head 45° to appear even more handsome.
The two guards could clearly see that Ling Yun's human form was astonishingly good-looking—arguably the most handsome man they had ever seen.
However, being men attracted to women, they found his appearance somewhat eye-burning.
The guards quickly averted their gaze and cleared a path, allowing Ling Yun to enter the Crown Prince's residence.
Because he carried the puppet Tian Xue Diao, no one dared stop him, and Ling Yun confidently made his way to the hall where Qian Renxue was having dinner.
Seeing an unfamiliar handsome man entering the hall while holding her pet, Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow.
"Who are you? How did you come to my residence?"
Ling Yun smiled and nodded politely to Qian Renxue, showing a refined demeanor.
Having absorbed Yu Xiaogang and Yu Tianheng before, he was well-versed in the etiquette of this world.
"I am a wanderer named Ling Yun. Greetings, Your Highness. Today, your pet insisted on finding me and begged me all day to accompany it to the Crown Prince's residence.
I had no choice but to follow; this little one is too stubborn."
At the same time, Ling Yun released the puppet Tian Xue Diao, controlling it to run toward Qian Renxue.
Seeing her pet approaching, Qian Renxue immediately bent down and picked it up.
"You little one, so you really went to fetch him? You are quite the naughty one."
The puppet Tian Xue Diao rubbed against her and pointed toward Ling Yun, asking:
"Sister Xue'er, I wasn't wrong, right? This brother is strikingly handsome, almost celestial. Are you interested? Do you want me to play matchmaker?"
Qian Renxue could not help but laugh and cry at this—the little one was actually offering to play matchmaker.
She deliberately put on a stern expression, glaring at the puppet Tian Xue Diao and whispering a warning.
"You little Diao, do you want to die? Do you even know what you're doing, offering to play matchmaker for me?
You haven't already told him I'm female, have you? Believe me, I'll take you to a veterinarian to be neutered!"
Qian Renxue made a downward motion; Ling Yun, in human form, instinctively clenched his legs. This girl's thoughts were dangerous.
Fortunately, he was not in her arms; otherwise, she might have actually had him "neutered."
Ling Yun quickly controlled the puppet Tian Xue Diao to offer an apologetic smile.
"Sister Xue'er, you can't be so rude. If you scare this brother, you might regret it later. After all, a man this handsome and powerful is rare, isn't that right?"
Qian Renxue sensed Ling Yun's meaning—this handsome young man already knew she was female.
"You little Diao, you're getting more and more reckless. Do you want to die?"
Qian Renxue squeezed and played with the puppet in her arms while her beautiful eyes threatened Ling Yun in human form.
"What my pet told you, I hope you forget, or keep it buried in your heart forever.
Otherwise, I cannot guarantee your safety. My identity is too sensitive—I hope you understand."
Even someone as foolish as Ling Yun could understand Qian Renxue's implied threat.
This girl was warning him: if he dared reveal her identity to anyone, she would have him assassinated.
Ling Yun's lips curled slightly, shaking his head with disdain.
"Little girl, let me make one thing clear. What gives you the courage to talk to me like this?
Was it those two rooftop bandits giving you courage? If it's just them, sorry, I probably can't control my words."
"Hmph, such arrogance."
Hearing Ling Yun's disdain, the Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo leapt from the rooftop, appearing in front of him, their murderous intent locked on him.
Ling Yun smiled slightly, glancing at the two Spirit Hall Douluos.
"91st-level Ghost Leopard Douluo, ordinary elder of the Spirit Hall, Martial Soul: Black-Patterned Ghost Leopard, agile-attack type.
91st-level Demon Bear Douluo, ordinary elder of the Spirit Hall, Martial Soul: Blood Demon Berserk Bear, strong-attack type.
These are Spirit Hall Douluos that the Spirit Hall has been hiding—but unfortunately, their strength is too weak."
The Ghost Leopard Douluo immediately became unhappy. He had already been mocked many times by the puppet Tian Xue Diao for being weak.
Now, a so-called strong man arrives at the Crown Prince's residence, mocking him again. He snorted in anger: "Seeking death!"
He instantly released his Martial Soul, the configuration of four purple and five black spirit rings showing he was slightly stronger than the deceased Snake Spear Douluo.
The Ghost Leopard Douluo's second spirit ring immediately activated, and his speed became eerie.
In an instant, he appeared five meters in front of Ling Yun, sharp leopard claws aiming at Ling Yun's throat.
The Ghost Leopard Douluo imagined Ling Yun's throat being torn open by his claws, blood spraying out, his eyes filled with cruelty and vindictive delight.
Suddenly, he was stunned—one hand casually grabbed his leopard claw, stopping it from moving even half an inch further.
Even a slight movement would have inflicted a painful cost on the arrogant young man.
But all his hopes were in vain—the other party held his claw and, with a casual flick, sent him flying.
The Ghost Leopard Douluo was flung over ten meters, crashing into a pillar of the Crown Prince's residence, breaking it and falling down.
Yet, he wasn't hurt at all. The young man's control over strength was truly masterful.
The most critical part: this young man hadn't even released his Martial Soul, let alone a soul skill.
A master! Absolutely a master!
