"Ah—!"
As Dugu Bo activated his martial soul, a surge of soul power erupted.
Dugu Xin immediately let out a hoarse scream.
"Daddy, hold on."
Dugu Yan stood quietly beside him, sobbing softly as she encouraged Dugu Xin.
"..."
Dugu Bo endured the pain in his body, gritting his teeth and frantically channeling his soul power.
Remembering his promise to his wife, Dugu Bo couldn't afford to slack off, his eyes filled with madness.
His complexion grew paler, and blood slowly oozed from the corners of his mouth.
Damn Spirit Hall!
If they hadn't suddenly attacked him, he wouldn't have been injured.
And Xin'er wouldn't have suffered this backlash so quickly!
"Grandpa! Are you okay??…"
Dugu Yan's tearful voice sounded, her face filled with worry as she looked at Dugu Bo.
"Ha, Yan yan, don't worry. Grandpa is fine."
Dugu Bo turned slightly to look at Dugu Yan and forced a smile.
"Yan Yan will go make medicine for Grandpa now."
Dugu Yan wiped her tearful eyes and ran outside.
Watching Dugu Yan's back, Dugu Bo felt deep pain and guilt, whispering through gritted teeth.
"Heaven, if you want to torment someone, torment me instead."
As he finished speaking, blood oozed from the corners of his mouth once more.
Dugu Xin's screams finally subsided, his convulsing body slightly easing.
"Xin'er, it's all my fault…"
...
The toxic mist rolled, clouds drifting east, and the night darkened.
After spending some time in Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue and her brother settled down early.
In the room.
Qian Renjue had already finished washing up.
He was now drying the wet Softbone Rabbit.
"Wuu~"
The Softbone Rabbit lay sprawled on the towel, its crimson eyes a bit dazed.
A pink pearl hung from its collar.
(Thank you, Your Highness)
Qian Renjue nodded slightly, gently stroking its body.
"Heh, still not dry enough. Should I let Sister help you with that later?"
"squeak!"
(Don't, don't, Xiao Wu is scared.)
The Softbone Rabbit immediately stood up, shaking its short legs comically.
"Heh, she won't hurt you."
Qian Renjue chuckled, patting its forehead.
"Wu!"
(Xiao Wu can dry herself quickly.)
The Softbone Rabbit still didn't want Qian Renxue's help, lifting its head to lick Qian Renjue's palm.
"Alright."
Qian Renjue didn't insist and gently combed the Softbone Rabbit's fur.
Click!
Qian Renxue, freshly bathed, stepped out of the bathroom.
She wore a strapless nightgown, revealing her delicate arms and long legs, standing gracefully like a lotus flower.
She walked towards Qian Renjue.
"squeak!"
(Your Highness, ah!)
"Sister?"
Qian Renxue put her hand on her slim waist and picked up the Softbone Rabbit with one hand, tossing it onto the sofa.
"You keep getting in the way."
"Ah!"
The Softbone Rabbit tumbled on the sofa, lying there in despair.
It watched as Qian Renxue took its place, sitting in Qian Renjue's lap and hugging his neck, grinding its teeth.
The lights went out.
The Softbone Rabbit, with its crimson eyes, gazed softly at Qian Renjue, its tongue gently licking the pearl.
(Mom, Xiao Wu really wants to turn into a human quickly.)
On the bed.
Qian Renxue lay in Qian Renjue's arms, tilting her head, her fingertips tracing his handsome face, lightly touching his lips.
Her delicate face smiled.
Regarding Qian Renjue who was taller than her, Qian Renxue also wanted to experience what it felt like to lie in his arms.
"Sister, you should rest early."
Qian Renjue rolled his eyes, holding her slim waist, shaking his head, trying to evade.
"Hmph! Don't move!"
Qian Renxue assertively held Qian Renjue, lifting her leg and placing it firmly on his waist.
Locking him in place!
The more Qian Renjue tried to avoid her, the more she locked him, rebelliousness is forbidden!
Mother and daughter both had a similar controlling nature!
"Uh!"
Qian Renjue felt a slight pain in his shoulder.
Qian Renxue's silver teeth had left shallow marks.
Looking up, she said with annoyance:
"Hmph! Its been a while since we last met. Cant I just take a good look at you with peace?"
"Of course, but wouldn't it be better with the lights on?"
Qian Renjue complied, holding Qian Renxue's delicate body.
He helplessly tugged at the corner of his mouth.
This was also the problem when he asked Bibi Dong if he could sleep in another room
At twelve years old, they still considered him just a child.
"Turning the lights on or off makes no difference."
Qian Renxue smiled and loosened her hold on Qian Renjue, satisfied with his embrace.
Leaning gently in his arms, she rubbed her face against him.
No matter the environment, as long as Qian Renjue was there, she could see him clearly.
"There is."
Qian Renjue's voice was awkward
"Hmm?"
Qian Renxue wiggled slightly.
Before lifting her head, her body suddenly trembled, her face slightly stiff and blushing.
She then understood why Qian Renjue suddenly seemed awkward.
With a slight palpitation, Qian Renxue no longer felt any abnormality; she was used to living together.
She chuckled softly, patting Qian Renjue's chest.
"Haha, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Rest early."
"..."
Qian Renjue breathed a sigh of relief.
He was used to contact with the two women.
His mind was focused, not affected by it, but Qian Renxue kept moving.
Bibi Dong was much gentler, without being hands-on.
In the dark, the Softbone Rabbit blinked its bright crimson eyes, completely unaware of what was happening.
It wished the holy son would frequently bring it to bathe.
Hehe!
The naive little rabbit had slowly learned many things from reading books with the little fox.
...
Early the next morning.
Qian Renjue slept more deeply than usual.
In the middle of the night, Qian Renjue unknowingly shifted from his posture.
Buried in Qian Renxue's soft embrace.
Qian Renxue didn't mind at all; instead, she was somewhat pleased.
Being relied upon by Qian Renjue made her very reassured.
She gently stroked his face and gave him a good morning kiss before heading to the bathroom.
Squeak squeak!
The Softbone Rabbit quietly jumped onto the bed, snuggling into Qian Renjue's arms and rubbing against him.
——
Clip clop!
A luxurious carriage, driven by Ling Yuan Douluo, was heading towards the Sunset Forest.
"Sister Ling, here is your breakfast."
Qian Renjue lifted the curtain and placed a plate of breakfast next to Ling Yuan.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Ling Yuan glanced back and nodded slightly.
"Mm."
Qian Renjue smiled warmly and returned to the carriage.
The noise of Heaven Dou City faded away.
The Sunset Forest was located in the central region of the Heaven Dou Empire.
It was the largest soul beast forest on the continent besides the Star Dou Great Forest.
The density of plants was not as overwhelming as the Star Dou Forest, making it much more convenient to move around.
The soul beasts living there were also much weaker.
Most were between a thousand and ten thousand years old, and the variety was not as rich.
But it was still a treasure trove for soul masters looking for soul rings.
"Jue, once we reach the Sunset Forest, don't stray too far from me."
"Mm, I understand."
