Douluo Continent: Peerless God General, starting by deceiving Qian Renxue

Chapter 96 The Bottom Line Given by Sendo-ryu

Inside the Hall of Spirits.

Beneath the statue of the Angel God, amidst the concerned gazes of several worshippers, Qian Renxue sat cross-legged, with Qian Daoliu standing beside her, his palm pressed against the Baihui point on the top of her head, borrowing the power of the Angel God to help her heal.

The power of the gods is immense and immeasurable. Qian Renxue's injuries, which would normally require at least six months to recover, were healed by 60-70% in a short period of time.

After finishing her practice, Qian Renxue opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was, as expected, her most unreliable grandfather, Guangling, with his adorable yet concerned face.

"Little Xue'er, you're finally better, but I think you're not fully recovered yet. I think you shouldn't go back to the Heavenly Dou Empire. Even if you do go, let your grandfather come with you to take care of you. Otherwise, if you encounter danger again, I won't feel at ease having those two good-for-nothings, Ci Xue and She Long, protecting you."

Qian Renxue was speechless. "Grandpa Guangling, don't use me as an excuse. If you want to go out and have fun, just say so. If I take you to the Heavenly Dou Empire, who will take care of whom then?"

She already has to handle government affairs and raise Xueke on her own, which is tiring enough. She doesn't want to take care of another child.

"As for not returning to the Heavenly Dou Empire, that's even more impossible. I must return before the court opens on the fifteenth of the first month to avoid revealing any flaws. Otherwise, all my years of hard work will be ruined."

"Hehe, Little Xue'er, do you really care about your hard work? Or is it something else? I never expected that my granddaughter, whom I raised single-handedly, would have such a strange personality." Guangling Douluo said teasingly.

Qian Renxue didn't quite understand and asked in confusion, "Grandpa Guangling, please just say what you want to say."

"These past few days, I've sent people to investigate that brat's information. I thought he was some outstanding person, but he's just good-looking. In terms of family background, strength, and talent, he's far inferior to you. He's only at the eighth level of the Innate Realm, and he's not worthy of you at all. Let me make it clear first, I don't think much of him. He's not qualified to be my grandson-in-law. I know you want to obtain the entire Ancient Lei Kingdom, but you don't need to throw yourself into it."

"Besides, he seems to be only ten years old, almost twice your age. Is it because I raised you that your criteria for choosing a partner is based on me? Pedophilia is unacceptable." Guangling Douluo shook his head, looking deeply guilty.

"Grandpa Guangling, you... cough cough..." Qian Renxue almost flared up her newly healed wounds from anger, coughing incessantly. "You're talking nonsense! Who's a pedophile? I do value Feihuang, but only to use him. There's absolutely no romantic feeling involved. Also, winning him over is definitely worthwhile, but not because of the Ancient Lei Kingdom behind him, but because..."

Qian Renxue stopped halfway through her speech. She didn't know why, but suddenly she didn't want to share Nan Feihuang's information with her family members in front of her.

"Why?" Guangling Douluo pressed on.

Qian Daoliu glanced at Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue said that she had no romantic feelings for Nan Feihuang at all. If she had just told him all the information about Nan Feihuang, he would have believed her. But now, it was as if she had confessed without being asked.

She was worried that they might use Nan Feihuang's exceptional talent against him.

"Because his martial soul is an innate divine-level martial soul, just like the trident of the sea god from many years ago, right?" Qian Daoliu finished speaking for Qian Renxue.

Everyone was horrified upon hearing this.

A rugged-looking man with a full head of red hair, resembling a lion, shouted, "What? A divine-level innate martial soul, not a gift from the gods? Such a powerful martial soul has actually reappeared after so many years! Grand Elder, we should capture him immediately. Such a person cannot be allowed to roam freely. We must either make him belong to us or eliminate him as soon as possible."

This person's attitude was precisely why Qian Renxue subconsciously wanted to help Nan Feihuang conceal the truth.

"Fourth brother, don't worry. The Grand Elder will make his own decision. I believe he won't let such a talent be left to wander outside." A man with short blue hair on the side seemed much calmer, but his words also implied that he wanted to get Nan Feihuang under his control.

Qian Daoliu did not answer them, but looked at Qian Renxue, who was also flustered and shocked, and said, "Xiaoxue, do you think that a divine-level martial soul can hide from my eyes when it appears in front of me? Not to mention anything else, there is still the powerful weapon energy of his Fangtian Halberd on your right hand."

"However, you underestimate your grandfather too much. I, Qian Daoliu, am not a good person, but I am not so ungrateful as to repay kindness with enmity. He saved your life, and for that reason alone, I will not attack him casually."

Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "Thank you, Grandpa!"

"Don't rush to thank me. No matter how great the favor, it will eventually run out, and there are limits. Try your best to develop him into a confidant who is completely loyal to you. I'll give him time. Before he reaches level 70, as long as he promises to be loyal to you, I will not only not harm him, but I will also help him become stronger. Otherwise, I would never have allowed him to grow into a Title Douluo!"

The bottom line set by Qian Daoliu is considered relatively conservative.

Even if a Primordial God-level Martial Soul is strong, it won't pose any threat to the Spirit Hall before level 70. If he doesn't agree to join the Spirit Hall by then, it's still not too late to eliminate him.

If we let him become a Title Douluo, then things will truly be out of control.

"Yes, Xue'er understands!" Qian Renxue nodded. At this moment, her love-struck mind hadn't fully taken over, and she still had some rationality.

She understood that Qian Daoliu had already done everything he could by giving Nan Feihuang a time limit before he could grow into a Soul Saint.

After all, he was once an elder of the Judgment Hall, whose duty was to eliminate anything that posed a threat to the Spirit Hall.

Having resolved a matter that had been weighing on her mind, Qian Renxue walked out of the offering hall with a slightly relaxed mood, only to be met by a woman who made her heart tremble.

Pope Bibidon!

"What are you doing here?" Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask.

She held a sliver of hope that Bibi Dong might have come to visit her out of concern after hearing that she was in danger.

"I heard that you were injured by a very mysterious and powerful soul beast. Tell me about that soul beast, its appearance, abilities, cultivation level, and where you encountered it?" Bibi Dong spoke frankly, as if she was only interested in information about the soul beast.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's face paled. She realized that she had been presumptuous again. How could this woman possibly care about her injuries? She just wanted information about the soul beasts because she urgently needed to collect nine rings for her second martial soul.

This incredibly powerful soul beast is exactly what she needs most.

"Its attribute is fire. I don't know its appearance. When I saw it, it was enveloped in a layer of red light. It's at least 500,000 years old, a ferocious beast. It should live near the Lake of Life. As for the rest, I don't know. If you want its soul ring, go find it yourself." Qian Renxue said coldly and walked away.

Bibi Dong's mouth was slightly open. Actually, she wanted to ask, "How is your health?"

In the end, however, she still couldn't bring herself to say those words. Bibi Dong simply stood there silently, watching Qian Renxue leave, and then turned and left in another direction.

The gap between the two was simply too large.

In fact, Qian Renxue was somewhat envious of Nan Feihuang in this respect. Anyone could see how profound Lan Xue's maternal love for Nan Feihuang was; it was something she could only ever hope for but never attain.
