"What?!"
The sun was shining brightly in Spirit City.
Inside the Pope's Hall, Bibi Dong's voice, filled with shock and anger, echoed throughout the grand hall.
"Great Priest, aren't you going a bit too far?"
"The marriage of my son—you should at least have consulted me beforehand!"
"This is the second time! I know nothing about it!"
Inside the hall.
Bibi Dong, gripping her scepter, wearing a crown, suddenly rose from the Pope's throne.
Standing on the high platform, her chest heaving with rapid breaths, her phoenix eyes filled with fury.
She glared at Qian Daoliu, who had just returned from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan.
This wasn't a joyous report at all!
It was outrageous!
"…"
Qian Daoliu looked up at the Pope, his expression neither joyful nor sorrowful.
With his hands behind his back, he stood straight.
He and Bibi Dong had never liked each other that much.
So why would he discuss such matters in advance?
But he was indeed at fault.
He slightly nodded: "This was indeed my oversight, I will be more careful next time."
"Next time?!"
Bibi Dong shouted in fury.
"Qian Daoliu! Let me tell you, my son is not some breeding tool for your Qian family!"
"I never treated Xiao Jue as a tool!"
Qian Daoliu frowned.
He explained: "As the Pope, you should understand the significance of an alliance with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan."
"For our Spirit Hall, it's a benefit that outweighs the costs."
"Benefits? What nonsense benefits?!"
Bibi Dong gritted her silver teeth and cursed in rage.
"This kind of benefit might be something Spirit Hall needs, but it's not necessarily something Xiao Jue needs!"
"As the future Pope, he will understand."
Qian Daoliu was confident in this.
Perhaps Qian Renjue was still a bit naïve now, but he would change in the future.
Ruling the world required more than just soft tactics.
"…"
Bibi Dong clenched her scepter, gritting her teeth in silence.
She hoped Xiao Jue wouldn't become like that, but facing reality left her confused.
When in a position of power, one must fulfill their duties, take responsibility, and complete their tasks.
She had experienced this deeply over the years.
Sitting in this seat.
Even regarding past events, she had gained new understanding.
She had indeed been wrong.
Perhaps Xiao Jue would change as well?
"There are more enemies than just those on the continent; we need to be prepared."
Qian Daoliu continued.
Bibi Dong furrowed her brows and briefly thought of their defeat years ago.
Over the years, Spirit Hall had indeed neglected overseas matters.
They had even prohibited soul masters from casually going out to sea.
"It's necessary to be prepared, but even so, Great Priest, you should have consulted me first."
"After all, he is my flesh and blood."
Bibi Dong calmed down. The matter was already done, and she couldn't change it.
"I'm fully aware of that."
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly.
He then turned around, ready to leave.
"Therefore, I'll leave it to Your Majesty to inform Xiao Jue."
As he finished speaking.
Qian Daoliu transformed into a golden stream of light and swiftly left.
Bibi Dong's expression immediately darkened, and she cursed out loud toward the outside.
"Qian Daoliu!"
"You old bastard!!"
"…"
Qian Daoliu, hearing the echoes, smiled faintly and turned serious.
"Has she surpassed level ninety-five?"
"The divine power filled with malice in her—I'm not sure if it's good or bad."
The golden light flew up to the mountaintop.
Inside the Pope's Hall, the sounds gradually subsided, leaving only Bibi Dong's heavy breathing.
"Damn it, now I have to clean up this mess!"
Bibi Dong angrily sat back on her throne.
Her face flushed red with anger, and the table in front of her was on the verge of cracking.
She felt uncomfortable thinking about how Xiao Jue would again be pulled away for a portion of his time.
She couldn't help but pinch her brow, feeling a headache coming on.
"Your Majesty."
Ling Yuan stepped into the hall, calling softly.
Her eyes held admiration and a bit of fear as she looked at Bibi Dong.
That was the Great Priest, a Peerless Douluo!
The Pope actually dared to scold him like that; just listening from outside had made her heart race.
The Pope truly lived up to her title.
Bibi Dong glanced down at Ling Yuan, as if something came to mind.
Her face showed undisguised disgust.
She coldly ordered: "In the future, if Xiao Jue goes to play in Nuoding City, you don't need to report it to me."
"Understood."
Ling Yuan bowed in acknowledgment and cautiously asked:
"What about Tang Hao and his son?"
"Let it be. If Xiao Jue wants to play, let him play. But if they dare to fight back, inform me!"
"I will personally crush them!"
Bibi Dong's killing intent was unmistakable.
Since the day Tang Hao had swung his hammer at Qian Renjue, he had been on her must-kill list.
"Yes!"
Ling Yuan bowed her head and answered.
After speaking.
Bibi Dong couldn't help but rub her forehead again, feeling a headache at the thought of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan.
"Send someone to contact Salas and have him report back."
"Understood, Your Majesty."
Ling Yuan naturally understood.
Calling back the head of the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City meant there were instructions to give.
After all, she had heard it too.
The Great Priest had found yet another marriage for their Holy Son.
"Sigh, how should I explain this to Xiao Jue?"
After Ling Yuan left.
Bibi Dong couldn't help but sigh.
"Speaking of which... has there been any movement from Sea God Island lately?"
"Looks like I need to take things slow and strike when the time is right."
...
In a small courtyard.
Qian Renxue was cultivating in the master bedroom.
Meanwhile, Qian Renjue was in Hu Liena's room.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he retracted his martial soul and slowly opened his eyes.
Feeling the soft, plump figure pressed against him.
He couldn't help but complain, "Ah Yin, can't you calm down a bit?"
"Master, this servant is also cultivating."
Ah Yin held Qian Renjue tightly, her tongue brushing his ear, blowing warm, moist air.
Her Blue Silver Domain spread out from where she sat.
The branches and leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor swayed around them.
Absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.
"Do you really need to sit so close for cultivation? And is it necessary to move your hands around?"
Qian Renjue grabbed the soft hand on his abdomen.
The heat in his dantian made him feel uncomfortable and slightly agitated.
"This slave understands."
Ah Yin quickly withdrew her hand, but continued to gently stroke from behind.
Qian Renjue's eyebrows twitched.
Where had she learned this massage technique with such precision?
He glanced around for a moment.
Seeing a comic book placed beside the bed, Qian Renjue frowned.
Helpless, he said:
"Stop it. After you finish feeding, you can leave."
"Yes~"
Ah Yin's soft, tender voice echoed.
Soon after, a warm sensation touched his neck.
A bit of blood was drained by Ah Yin as she sucked and licked it clean, then disappeared into Qian Renjue's arms like a bloodline.
"Whew~"
Qian Renjue let out a long breath.
His back still felt warm, as if the soft curves were still rubbing against him.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother?"
Outside.
Hu Liena ran toward the room, her face flushed with disappointment and discomfort.
She was here on a mission given by Bibi Dong.
As soon as she entered the room.
Seeing Qian Renjue holding the comic book, her disappointment vanished, her face turning red.
"Nana?"
Qian Renjue looked up.
Hu Liena couldn't help but scream.
"Ah—!"
"Senior Brother, please give me that book back! It's for my cultivation…"
Hu Liena hurriedly pounced forward.
She snatched the book and stuffed it into the bed, holding it tightly.
"Hmph, so it's like that."
Qian Renjue glanced at the girl in front of him and smirked.
So that's where Ah Yin learned it from.
He had heard about Hu Liena's seductive training before.
He didn't dwell on it.
"Nana, why did you come back so early?"
"It's the teacher… No, I mean, Nana has something to tell Senior Brother."
Hu Liena sighed in relief, but was still flustered.
She quickly repeated the message Bibi Dong had taught her to Qian Renjue.
She had accidentally overheard the conversation between the Pope and the Great Priest.
She found out about Qian Daoliu's actions.
"What did you say?!"
Qian Renjue's eyes widened.
"Grandpa did this without asking for my opinion first?!"
"What's wrong, Jue?"
Creak!
Qian Renxue pushed open the door, frowning at the sight of her brother and the fox on the bed.
Qian Renjue immediately stood up and complained:
"...Grandpa went to propose a marriage with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan behind our backs!"
"What?!"
Qian Renxue's expression changed instantly.
"This won't do, I have to go find Grandpa."
"Wait, Sister!"
Qian Renjue hurriedly called after her, but Qian Renxue was already heading for the door.
"Don't worry, I'll handle this," she said, her tone cold as she stormed out.
"…"
"Hmph! Old fool, deal with your own mess! Don't think you can shift the blame onto me," Bibi Dong murmured to herself from the shadows, her eyes glinting with a hint of triumph.
