Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

Back at the hotel, Qian Shui officially began his retraining. His self-created method of circulating qi seemed particularly suitable for him, and progress was rapid.

The cultivation method has always been known for its alignment with the Great Dao and its natural progression. Qian Shui himself commented that cultivation was very enjoyable when he first started.

Even after entering the gate, Qian Shui forcibly suppressed this pleasant feeling and focused her gaze on the immortal herb brought back by a certain inner demon. The moment the jade box was opened, the entire room was filled with a wonderful fragrance. The rich orchid scent was refreshing and invigorating.

In the jade box, an eight-petal orchid lies quietly, its petals trembling slightly like trembling, and its whole body is white and crystal clear, giving people a sense of purity and purity.

"Eight-petal fairy orchid?"

Qian Renxue, who had been standing by the window gazing at the night sky, had never left. She had been guarding the pass for Qian Shui. Seeing his question, she answered him in a timely manner, "Among the immortal herbs, the medicinal properties are the gentlest and also the most mellow. They are easy to absorb but difficult to digest, and their medicinal effects are extremely long-lasting. They can strengthen the foundation, nourish the vital energy, and remove impurities, and can make up for the problem of slow cultivation of certain martial souls. The way to take them is to chew and swallow them, and then absorb them slowly."

After explaining the use of the immortal herbs, the little angel continued, "You can first take the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid to improve your physical aptitude, and then take the Qiluo Tulip to break through the shackles of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda on your martial soul."

The other jade box contains the Autumn Water Dew of the River of Oblivion, which nourishes the soul and is used last.

These three are the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit, representing a comprehensive improvement; you should understand this.

"Yes, thank you." After saying that, Qian Shui didn't stand on ceremony and swallowed the eight-petaled fairy orchid into her mouth without hesitation, and immediately began to cultivate.

The word "thank you" was misunderstood by the listener. They were husband and wife, so why was there a word of thanks?

Looking at Qian Shui with gentle eyes, the little angel murmured to herself, "This time, you'll have to pick that heartbreaking red acacia flower!"

To be able to calmly think of each other without betraying Buddha or the beloved is a luxury for them. Even amidst this inner demon tribulation, Qian Renxue cherishes these things all the more.

As time passed and the seasons changed, the night quietly departed.

Sensing something, Qian Renxue left the bedroom, her powerful soul energy completely sealing off the room to prevent others from disturbing Qian Shui.

They naturally stayed in the most luxurious suite, complete with a living room, study, and bedroom. Stepping out of the bedroom, Qian Renxue naturally arrived at the antique-style living room.

As expected, the hotel room door was opened with a bang.

"Hey, can you please stop following me? It's already dawn!"

A little demon stormed in, and from what she said, it was clear who was following her.

The clatter of high heels rang out, and before the little angel's eyes appeared Bibi Dong, her clothes tattered and her once flowing purple hair now a frizzy mess. At this moment, Bibi Dong's face was a solid, dark expression, requiring no emotional manipulation whatsoever.

Without a word, Bibi Dong followed her in, her purple eyes shimmering with a stubbornness.

Life is tough, Qian Renxue sighed, it seemed she had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

Bibi Dong was extremely strong-willed; otherwise, she wouldn't have achieved what she did later. She was just particularly reckless, or rather, foolish, at that age.

Knowing full well that a certain inner demon was incredibly powerful, she still went after it anyway, and probably fought it all night long.

Upon seeing her true form, the inner demon couldn't resist making sarcastic remarks. She even wanted to curse, "Is she stupid? She's so low-level and she's already clinging to me!"

"I'm not stupid! My name is Bibi Dong! Level 62 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Emperor!" Bibi Dong, with her fists clenched and head held high, was extremely serious.

Bibi Dong thought she was the smart one. These two seniors were obviously easy to talk to and had no hostility towards her. She had to get an explanation for Yu Xiaogang anyway, so she put her hands on her hips and went for it.

As expected, they were beaten up badly.

She gave her mother a reproachful look. What else could the little angel do? Could she beat her like a demon?

However, seeing her like this, the little angel felt quite relieved. Her inner demons were her dark side, and she had indeed thought about beating up Bibi Dong, which she did.

"Alright, alright, I know your name is Bibi Dong~" Stroking Bibi Dong's cheek, the little angel gave her a full-body cleansing and activated his angelic domain to heal her.

Looking at the gentle girl in front of her, Bibi Dong's eyebrows softened.

As the saying goes, comparison is the thief of joy. With the special care of Dark Qianrenxue, the golden girl gently stroking her cheek touched her heart in such a way.

'She's an angel!' Bibi Dong thought to herself.

"Go on, take a shower." Pointing to the bathroom door, Qian Renxue gently pressed her hand on Bibi Dong's shoulder, then pointed to another room, "Then go to your bedroom and get some rest."

"Okay." Following the direction Qian Renxue pointed, Bibi Dong went without any hesitation.

For some reason, Bibi Dong felt particularly willing to listen to this beautiful older sister. She was as tolerant of her as a mother, which brought tears to Bibi Dong's eyes, who was originally an orphan.

Whether barging into someone else's room was abrupt or not, and why this beautiful blonde woman was being so kind to him, were no longer important.

Compared to the warmth of this winter's torch, and the allure of this cruel world of Soul Masters, she didn't want to leave.

"I knew it!"

However, this infuriated a certain inner demon. She felt that Qian Shui's reminder was absolutely right. Sometimes, one must know one's limits. The visual and olfactory pollution from yesterday was so deeply ingrained in her mind that it was hard to forget. Otherwise, she wouldn't have beaten Bibi Dong all night to vent her anger.

After all, she's his own mother. What can he do if Bibi Dong acts up? He can only tolerate it.

But doesn't she care about her pride? Why should Bibi Dong have to use one of the two bedrooms?

With another bang, the bedroom door slammed shut.

Standing there, Qian Renxue could only sigh. She suddenly realized that she had become a mother of three children.

After ordering breakfast for Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue finally picked up her tea and began to enjoy the leisurely morning.

Before long, Bibi Dong, her cheeks slightly flushed, emerged from the bathroom with small, pacing steps.

This made Qian Renxue, who was standing by the window drinking tea, smile. What was she shy about?

"S-senpai, my name is..."

"Bibi Dong?"

Bibi Dong, clutching the hem of her clothes, was almost blushing. She had realized while taking a bath that the person in front of her was probably of a very high level, and that her rudeness and abruptness were extremely impolite.

Now that she had just emerged from her bath, the initial heat had faded, and she was at a loss for what to do.

At that moment, the cool morning light shone through the window and fell on the little angel's cheek, giving her a sense of holiness.

He walked over to Bibi Dong, took her hand, and led her to the dining table. "Come on, eat quickly."

Looking at this fake mother, she felt a pang of sadness. How much Qian Renxue wished her own mother had always been this shy and innocent girl, so that her childhood wouldn't have been so painful.

But this is not something she can decide. If Bibi Dong hadn't been so cold, she wouldn't have been born, right?

Touching the mother's head, the little angel watched her from the side, passively picked up the knife and fork, and began to eat in a daze.

Bibi Dong swallowed her food whole, and the more she chewed, the more uncomfortable she felt. Although she didn't know this young lady at all, why was she being so nice to her?

As she chewed, tears streamed down her face. "What's wrong? Why am I crying?"

She really didn't understand why she was like this, and of course, Qian Renxue herself was even more confused. Although Bibi Dong was a bit simple-minded, she wasn't a crybaby, was she?

"Oh yeah? Why are you crying?"

"I don't know..." Bibi Dong kept wiping away her falling tears, feeling extremely helpless. Why was she so out of control?

"I grew up without parents, perhaps it's because you feel like a mother to me? No one has ever treated me with such kindness..." Bibi Dong could only tell what was on her mind at that moment.

'Mother?' The little angel's smile gradually became outrageous.

However, this smile gave Bibi Dong a sense of redemption. At this moment, she wished that this sister, who was full of maternal radiance, was really her mother.

"Good child, you must have had a hard time these past years, right?" Qian Renxue said softly.

"It's not exactly bitter..." but it wasn't as smooth as I had imagined.

But her words touched Bibi Dong's heart. After wiping away her tears, Bibi Dong skipped breakfast and started talking to Qian Renxue. They talked for almost the entire day.

...

"Senior, I really want a mother, so that when I get home every day I can tell her what happened, and someone will care about me in every way..."

The mother and daughter had moved from the dining table to the sofa. Bibi Dong, who was curled up on her side, was resting her head on Qian Renxue's lap, chatting about her feelings.

Exhausted and sleepy, Bibi Dong was also about to fall asleep.

"If you're willing, you can treat me as your mother." Gently stroking Bibi Dong's excited heart and trembling hands, the little angel felt that now was the perfect opportunity.

“Okay…” Bibi Dong readily agreed.

"You can't go back on your word~" The little angel, having succeeded, naturally smiled slyly.

Seemingly finally realizing something, Bibi Dong sat up abruptly, her eyes wide open, showing no signs of sleepiness.

"Want to back out?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Bibi Dong roared inwardly, shaking her head frantically.

After sorting things out in her mind, Bibi Dong rushed into the little angel's arms and cried out, "Mommy! I have a mommy now!"

The little angel, almost beaming with joy, suppressed her excitement and replied softly, "Okay, okay~ good girl~"

After some time, Bibi Dong, having finally calmed down, wiped away her tears again. There was something she hadn't forgotten: "By the way, senior, who exactly are you? And what about them…?"

Bibi Dong was naturally referring to a certain inner demon and Qian Shui's identity. "My name is Qian Renxue. That child is like my sister..."

"What about Ning Shui?"

"He is my husband." No matter when or where, Qian Renxue never tried to hide anything.

"Really?" But the next moment, Bibi Dong realized something serious, "Then I'll have to call him Dad!"

With a gentle smile, the little angel naturally understood that Qian Shui and Bibi Dong were peers of the same age, "each according to their own understanding~"

Qian Renxue's attitude towards Qian Shui was obvious to everyone, and Bibi Dong wanted to confirm the same thing: "Is the eldest young master of the Ning family worth it?"

"You've fought him, don't you understand?"

According to Qian Shui himself, if placed in a desperate situation, the people of his country would definitely be the most likely to survive, and the fact that their civilization had never been interrupted was enough to prove this point.

Even while imprisoned, he still managed to acquire such combat power through his physical abilities. Once he gains power, he will surely soar to great heights; this is his pride.

Bibi Dong hadn't seen this level yet, but was eating and thinking back, "I don't know how to say it, but he is definitely not simple. If I were at level 29 with him, I'm afraid I wouldn't be his match."

Based on her preconceived notions, Bibi Dong speculated that Qian Shui was stuck at level 29.

But Qian Renxue shook her head and revealed the truth, "His soul power was just destroyed yesterday."

"This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

-----------------

With his surging soul power circulating and the three immortal herbs consumed, Qian Shui's strength was instantly restored. Ignoring his martial soul cultivation level, he made rapid progress on the path of refining essence into qi through the cultivation method.

Having broken through several minor realms in the Qi Refining stage, the soul power within his meridians had already condensed into liquid, and he had reached the threshold of breaking through to the next realm.

Finally, Qianshui opened her eyes again, and the sky outside the window turned into night once more.

"Cleansing the marrow and refining the essence!" Feeling the sticky sensation all over her body, Qian Shui clearly identified the strange substances that had appeared on her. "Ugh~ I hate myself! I need to take a shower quickly, I still need to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and undergo tribulation later."

She rushed out of the bedroom and headed straight for the bathroom without hesitation, unaware of the mother and daughter in the living room.
