Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler
chapter-41

--- Chapter 41 ---

Yunlong walking together with his sister toward their house, he's calmly looking at Qian Renxue's back with a smile on his face.

'If this world doesn't change too much, then Qian Renxue would go to the heaven dou empire and disguise as the prince's maid.' Yunlong thought while contemplating about something.

'After she learns the prince's behaviors, she would kill the prince and replace him as a false prince.' He inwardly added before releasing a sigh.

Yunlong's relationship with his sister has been growing a lot in these two years. Even though Qian Renxue is a little tsundere, he could feel that she clearly loves him in her heart.

As they almost arrived at their house, Yunlong can see a maid girl carrying a basket full of white blankets.

"Ah, Xiaoyu," Yunlong said while waving his hand, which caught the attention of the maid girl.

Chu Xiaoyu is standing on the ground; her bright yellow eyes are calmly staring at Yunlong while her long black hair is waving because of the wind.

'Xiaoyu also has grown a lot in these two years. Not only she looks older because of her vigorous training, but her appearances also become more refined.' Yunlong thought while observing his maid, who is having a faint shade of redness on her face.

(An: Once again, she looks like Kotegawa Yui from To Love-Ru, except for her eyes, which is yellow instead of dark brown)

"Good morning, young master." Chu Xiaoyu naturally said while giving him a nod.

"Good morning," Yunlong responded while walking toward her.

"Do you need help?" He asked his adorable maid, who is shaking her head.

"Mhm, It's okay... She is already waiting for you," She replied while turning her gaze at the house, or more precisely, to an open window.

"Teacher." Chu Xiaoyu said while looking at Bibi Dong, who is calmly staring at them with a smile on her face.

"I already cooked the breakfast for you two." Bibi Dong said as a rich fragrance comes out of the window.

"It smells good," Yunlong commented as the rich scents entered his nose.

"I cooked it with my full ability." Bibi Dong confidently answered.

"Hmm, let's go, big sister," Yunlong said while pulling Qian Renxue's hand.

"Eh-, Wait..." Qian Renxue couldn't react on time before getting pulled by Yunlong into the house.

As Yunlong and Qian Renxue entered the house, Bibi Dong is shifting her gaze at her disciple before asked, "Xiaoyu, your training is over?"

"It's done..." Chu Xiaoyu replied while putting the basket on the ground.

"Good... You need a little more push before advancing to the next level." Bibi Dong nodded her head in satisfaction.

"Teacher, can you increase my training's difficulties." Chu Xiaoyu suddenly requested while staring at Bibi Dong with her bright yellow eyes.

"Are you sure about that? I increase it a few weeks ago, no?" Bibi Dong said while staring at Xiaoyu's eyes.

"I want to become strong so that I can stand beside young master..." Chu Xiaoyu asserted, which makes Bibi Dong shaking her head.

"You know, Yunlong is different, right." Bibi Dong naturally stated, to which Xiaoyu responded with a nod.

"I know..." Chu Xiaoyu quietly responded.

'I know why she wants to become stronger is not only because of Yunlong,' Bibi Dong thought while looking at Xiaoyu's eyes.

'But, her eyes are clearly burning in desire.' He added while thinking about something for a moment.

"Sure, I will increase your training by three folds." Bibi Dong said before walking away, making Xiaoyu excited in her heart.

The siblings were walking beside each other in a corridor, and we can see they're still holding each other hands.

'Yunlong's hand warmth,' Qian Renxue thought while looking at her younger brother's hand, which is warmly grasping her hand.

'What a shame that I can't enjoy my time more with Yunlong because of the mission.' She added in her heart before inwardly sighing.

"Why are you making a face like that?" Yunlong asked her because seeing her sad expression.

"It's nothing." Qian Renxue responded while dodging his eye gaze.

"Ah, don't tell me you're still angry because you lose again?! It's my 690 victories after all." Yunlong suddenly stated, which makes Qian Renxue instinctively bonked his head.

Yunlong spontaneously dodged her strike, though.

"Say that again." Qian Renxue said with a bright smile on her face.

"Uwah, your face is scary," Yunlong said before trying to run away, but Qian Renxue is tightly gripping his hand.

"You can't go, Yunlong..." Qian Renxue's cold voice entered his ears, which makes him rigidly staring at her.

"Can you repeat what did you say earlier?" She asked while placing her hands on his shoulder.

"Um... What did I say to you? I can't remember it?!" Yunlong responded with a clueless expression.

"Ah, I remember it now... I said, "You are the best sister in the world!" Right." He stated with a smile on his face.

'Please work!' Yunlong thought while observing Qian Renxue's expression.

"I can't hear- ehem, say that again." Qian Renxue replied while staring at him, which makes Yunlong releasing a sigh of relief.

"You are the best sister in the world," Yunlong said with a smile on his face.

'The best...' Qian Renxue thought while inwardly nodding her head in joy.

'At least this trick still works on her.' Yunlong could feel his sister's grip becomes loose.

After that, Yunlong and Qian Renxue entered the dining room and found a familiar lovely woman in a maid outfit, placing a pot of warm soup on the dining table.

(An: Well, she looks like the grown-up version of Kotegawa Yui)

"Uh, where is my mother, Yunxi?" Yunlong asked the maid, who is Xiaoyu's mother.

"Mistress is in the kitchen," Yunxi replied while smiling at him.

"I see..." Yunlong said while taking a seat.

Qian Renxue is also taking a seat beside him before staring at the dining table.

"Where is the pudding?" Qian Renxue asked Yunxi, who is shaking her head.

"Mistress said she wants to make a new pudding, but I don't know the detail about it," Yunxi replied while placing the last dish.

"Is that so." Qian Renxue frowned while shifting her gaze at the kitchen.

"Renxue, did you doubt my cooking skill?" Bibi Dong's voice comes out of the kitchen as she walks toward the dining room with a closed tray.

"I don't..." Qian Renxue responded while staring at the trey.

"You really like pudding huh," Yunlong commented while staring at his big sister.

"Hmm, not as much as I like you," Qian Renxue responded with a smile on her face.

"Huh?" Yunlong tilted his head before staring at her sister, who already shifted her gaze away.

"Well, let's enjoy our breakfast." Qian Renxue said to change the topic, which makes Bibi Dong smile at her.

--- After the breakfast ---

Qian Renxue is enjoying her pudding with a satisfied smile on her face.

"So, when you will start your mission." Bibi Dong suddenly asked her daughter, who is putting the empty plate on the table.

"Tomorrow morning." Qian Renxue answered while gracefully wiping her mouth.

"I see... I'll miss you." Bibi Dong responded while making a concerned smile on her face.

'Even though I already know about it. I want to confirm something.' Yunlong thought while staring at his mother.

"What mission?" Yunlong curiously asked.

Qian Renxue is staring at him for a few seconds before telling him about the mission, which is pretty much the same as he guessed.

"Mother, can I go on a mission too?" Yunlong suddenly said

"Big sister is going to the heaven dou empire, right?" He added while forming a smile on his face, "Then, I want to go on a mission to the star luo empire!"

"Huh?!" Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong are staring at him with a confused expression.
