"Your Royal Highness, the Crown Prince."
"The scent on you smells quite nice."
"But this seems to be women's perfume, right?"
"You have rather unique tastes."
"Could you tell me where you bought it? I'd like to buy a few bottles for Yan Yan to use as well."
Shen Fan said.
"Uh."
"Perhaps I accidentally picked it up somewhere."
"I never use perfume."
"Let alone women's perfume."
Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) was stunned by the words and casually found an excuse, intending to brush it off.
"No."
"That scent has been on you the whole time."
"If it were accidentally picked up from somewhere else, the scent would have long since dissipated."
To be more convincing, Shen Fan even leaned close to Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue)'s chest and sniffed.
"What are you doing?"
Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) was startled by Shen Fan's action, and a hint of annoyance appeared on her face, which was hidden by her Spirit Bone.
"I'm not doing anything."
"Didn't you say the scent on you was picked up from somewhere you didn't know?"
"I just want to confirm."
"It's fine."
"We're all big men, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Besides, I don't have that kind of preference for 'men on men'."
Shen Fan patted Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue)'s shoulder in a carefree manner, then, as if discovering something very unusual, exclaimed, "Hmph."
"I really didn't notice until I touched it."
"Your Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, your pectoral muscles are quite developed, but it seems their strength is a bit lacking."
"I guess this should be due to your excellent innate physique, but simply a lack of acquired training."
Shen Fan stared at Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue)'s chest with curiosity, his eyes unblinking, while saying words that almost made Qian Renxue explode.
"Hehe."
"Perhaps."
"After all, I am the Crown Prince, and I have too many official duties to handle, I don't even have time to cultivate, let alone exercise."
Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) suppressed the urge to kick Shen Fan, this pervert, off the carriage, and said with a forced smile.
"That's true."
"As a Crown Prince, one is either busy with countless concubines every day, or on the way to be busy with countless concubines; indeed, there isn't enough time."
Shen Fan gave Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) an 'I understand' look.
"You, come back here."
"Crown Prince Qinghe is truly busy with state affairs every day."
"Do you think the Crown Prince is really like you, only thinking about how to manage concubines every day?"
Seeing that Shen Fan was almost leaning onto Qian Renxue, Dugu Yan pulled Shen Fan back to her side and said irritably.
"No way?"
Shen Fan feigned surprise, and seeing Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) nod, he immediately put away his playful expression and said in a rather lazy voice.
"Boring."
"I can understand using a small portion of time for state affairs and most of it for things you're interested in."
"But using all your time on state affairs, even neglecting cultivation for it, that I cannot understand."
"Haven't you heard?"
"In the cultivation World, the strong are respected, and imperial power comes second."
"What's truly important is one's own strength."
"If one doesn't have absolute strength, what good is it to have grand ambitions and strategies?"
"Look at Spirit Hall now."
"With the power of one city, it dominates the entire Douluo Continent."
"To put it bluntly."
"If Spirit Hall truly wanted to forcibly replace the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Xingluo Royal Family, the only way out for those two Royal Families, besides despairingly awaiting destruction, would be to obediently accept Spirit Hall's will and abdicate."
Shen Fan was using this casual chat to remind Qian Renxue not to put the cart before the horse.
"What you're saying is too exaggerated, isn't it?"
"While our Heaven Dou Empire may not have as many strong individuals as Spirit Hall, our Heaven Dou Empire's millions of soldiers are not to be underestimated."
Xue Ke glanced at Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) next to her, and seeing that she was deep in thought, she immediately retorted with an unconvinced tone.
"In front of the strong, no matter how many soldiers there are, it's useless."
"A Spirit Saint-level expert can single-handedly deal with ten thousand armored soldiers, and Spirit Hall has at least a thousand Spirit Saints."
"A Spirit Douluo-level expert should have no difficulty dealing with thirty thousand armored soldiers simultaneously, and Spirit Hall has at least several hundred such experts."
"As for the even stronger Titled Douluo-level experts, there's no need to mention them; in any case, the total number of Titled Douluo from all forces on the entire Douluo Continent combined is not as many as Spirit Hall alone."
This wasn't Shen Fan exaggerating the combat power of Spirit Saints and above; it was clearly written in books that a Spirit Saint could move freely among ten thousand armored soldiers.
"Spirit Hall has so many Spirit Saints and stronger experts?"
Xue Ke was greatly startled.
She roughly knew that their Heaven Dou Empire only had about six direct Spirit Douluo experts in total, and Spirit Saint experts would not exceed twenty at most.
"Only more, not less."
Shen Fan shrugged.
"You still say you have no connection with Spirit Hall."
"If you truly had no connection with Spirit Hall, how would you know these things that can be considered Spirit Hall's secrets?"
Tang San, who was listening nearby, felt increasingly uneasy, becoming more and more convinced that Shen Fan was connected to Spirit Hall.
"Little San."
"Shut up."
"You yourself said these messages are considered confidential information of Spirit Hall; if Shen Gongzi truly had a connection with Spirit Hall, how could he possibly reveal them?"
As soon as Tang San finished speaking, Tang Yuehua sternly rebuked him.
"Tang Xuan Master is indeed wise."
"Actually, the main reason I know so much is because I know High Priest Qian Daoliu, Old Master Qian of Spirit Hall."
"My relationship with him is quite good, and he told me all of this."
"He did ask me if I wanted to join their Spirit Hall."
"I don't like restrictions, so I refused."
Shen Fan revealed this information about Spirit Hall mainly because he wanted Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang, and the other girls he fancied in the carriage, to recognize the gap between their side and Spirit Hall, so they wouldn't be easily swayed by Tang San and his companions later and inexplicably join their 'pirate ship'.
"Shen Gongzi is truly widely connected."
"To even know the High Priest of Spirit Hall."
Tang Yuehua said this, but inwardly, she was rolling her eyes furiously.
In fact, Tang Yuehua wasn't the only one inwardly rolling her eyes at this moment; all the girls who saw this scene through the live stream more or less gave Shen Fan a few good eye rolls, especially Qian Renxue, who could barely be considered half a party involved, who was also constantly complaining in the live stream while rolling her eyes.
Live Stream Douluo One Qian Renxue: "Is this what men are like?"
"They don't even need a draft to lie."
"It really goes with that saying."
"A man's mouth, a liar's trick."
