Qian Xunji brought dinner to the courtyard, beaming with a broad smile.
He leisurely unpacked the food and called into the house:
"Xiao Xue, Xiao Jue, come quickly!"
On the bed inside the room, the siblings who had long adhered to their biological clocks had just finished their training.
Qian Renxue was sitting at the edge of the bed, while Qian Renjue was lying down, resting his head on her soft lap.
Qian Renxue's delicate fingers lightly touched Qian Renjue's lips, her eyes filled with contemplation and concern.
If that thing really happens, what will Jue do?
The lively voice of Qian Xunji brought her back to the present.
Qian Renjue opened his eyes, evaded the teasing touch of her fingers, and sat up. Smiling, he said:
"Sister, dinner is ready, let's go."
Without waiting for Qian Renxue's response, Qian Renjue stood up and dragged her outside.
"Jue, slow down!"
Qian Renxue called out, hurriedly putting on her shoes and trying to keep up.
A few breaths later, they arrived in the courtyard.
"Why is Dad so happy today? Is there some good news?"
After accompanying them for years, Qian Renjue immediately noticed Qian Xunji's good mood.
"It's not exactly a happy event, just some good news," Qian Xunji said, shaking his head and letting his smile fade slightly.
"Good news? What kind of good news? Can you tell us?" Qian Renjue asked, quickly running to the table and leaning on it with curiosity.
Qian Renxue, however, had a more serious expression. The time was indeed near.
The news about that soul beast!
Or rather, the culprit behind the destruction of the Spirit Hall was about to be born!
Unable to speak, she found herself at a loss for words.
Qian Renjue, leaning on the table, looked puzzled.
The system's long-awaited glitch occurred again, triggering a defensive mechanism and sounding an alert.
"Xiao Jue, wait until Dad finishes the task, and I'll give you a surprise!" Qian Xunji said, ruffling Qian Renjue's head without revealing too much.
But Qian Renjue sensed that something significant was happening.
He continued to ask, "Can't Dad tell us first? Maybe Sister and Jue can help with ideas."
Hearing Qian Renjue's voice, Qian Renxue's eyes brightened with surprise as she raised her head.
Since the future couldn't be told, she might as well participate. Let's discuss the matter!
Nodding in agreement, she said, "Dad, Renjue is right. We can help with ideas!"
"Alright, alright. Don't fuss. Dad won't keep you waiting too long," Qian Xunji said with a helpless smile.
Ignoring the children's insistence, he sat down and served the food.
"Quickly, let's eat," he said with a smile.
Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue both frowned in disappointment and sat at the table.
"If Dad won't tell us, then never mind," Qian Renjue said, poking his chopsticks into his bowl and smiling.
"We can ask Grandpa Ghost and Sister Chrystanthemum," he added.
"Right? Sister?" Qian Renjue looked at Qian Renxue, who nodded with a smile.
When dealing with their parents, Qian Renjue was definitely more experienced and capable.
Qian Renxue's psychological age made it harder for her to let go her ego.
Qian Xunji, holding the bowl, set it down again with a resigned smile. "Alright, alright. Dad will tell you."
"Then Dad, hurry up," Qian Renjue said with a victorious smile and eager eyes.
Qian Xunji, seeing the expectant looks from his children, wore a proud and mysterious smile.
He said meaningfully, "Dad is preparing a gift for Mom."
"..."
Qian Renjue's eyes twitched, and his heart raced.
Qian Renxue already understood. It was indeed the Hundred-thousand-year spirit beast!
"Dad, what exactly is this gift?" Qian Renjue asked, pretending not to know.
"Ha-ha. Don't rush," Qian Xunji said, enjoying the curiosity and anticipation on their faces.
"This gift is something every soul master dreams of: a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and soul bone!"
Qian Xunji's words made the siblings' anxious hearts finally relax.
"Not long ago, an elder encountered a pregnant hundred-thousand-year shape-shifting soul beast next to Tang Hao."
Qian Xunji continued to explain.
"Once we track down the exact location, Dad will bring people to retrieve the spirit beast and give it to Mom."
Qian Renxue was about to speak but didn't know what to say.
Avoiding this issue seemed to be the best course.
Qian Xunji's danger seemed never to come from outside.
"Dad, will it be dangerous?" Qian Renxue asked with some concern.
"Xiao Xue, don't worry," Qian Xunji reassured, although he didn't take it too seriously, he appreciated his daughter's concern.
He comforted her, "Dad will bring two elders. With three Title Douluo, capturing that soul beast will be a piece of cake."
"Dad, why is the soul beast pregnant?" Qian Renjue's voice suddenly asked, causing Qian Xunji's smile to freeze.
"Uh…"
Qian Xunji looked at Qian Renjue with surprise, not expecting such a question.
He opened his mouth, unsure of how to explain.
It couldn't be that he had to provide a detailed explanation.
Was this topic too advanced for Qian Renjue?
Facing Qian Renje's curiosity, Qian Xunji felt a bit embarrassed.
He responded awkwardly, "Xiao Jue, that question is a bit complex."
Qian Renxue quickly glared at Qian Xunji.
She patted Qian Renjue's head and explained, "Jue, because that soul beast has transformed and married a human."
Qian Renjue looked at Qian Xunji with confusion.
He continued to ask, "Is it the Tang Hao from the Clear Sky Sect?"
"Yes, yes! It's him," Qian Xunji said, nodding repeatedly and wiping imaginary sweat from his forehead.
The siblings' gaze made him feel somewhat guilty.
Qian Renjue continued, "So, does that mean the hundrer-thousand-year soul beast loves Tang Hao a lot?"
"..."
Qian Xunji and his daughter frowned, not understanding what Qian Renjue was trying to say.
Qian Renjue tentatively said, "Does Dad know about sacrificial offering?"
Whoosh!
As soon as Qian Renjue's words were out, Qian Renxue stared at him with surprise.
"Sacrificial offering?!"
Qian Xunji also widened his eyes, as if grasping something vaguely.
"Yes," Qian Renjue nodded and suggested, "Why don't you take Mom along too?"
"!"
Qian Renxue stared at Qian Renjue, her eyes showing shock.
She thought he was trying to warn Qian Xunji about the soul beast being a threat.
Unexpectedly, he was thinking of something else: making the 'gift' in it most perfect state!
After a brief moment of confusion, Qian Xunji's face slowly showed delight.
Then he burst into laughter.
"Ha-ha! Xiao Jue, you're truly Dad's son!"
He even stood up, wanting to hug Qian Jue.
At 1.5 meters tall, Qian Renjue felt awkward being lifted like this.
He protested, "Dad! I'm not a little kid anymore."
