--- Chapter 179 ---
Qian Renxue dozed off inside her carriage. A few hours had passed after she left the White Dragon River, and she was 'abruptly' exposed to a world she didn't know.
Her origins.
Douluo Planet.
Divine Realm.
Gods.
Everything that shaped her as a person.
Yet, Qian Renxue denied that her gloomy childhood was due to God's manipulation. She knew it was true, but she won't admit it.
'That woman...' Qian Renxue bit her red lips, almost making them bleed from frustration. 'She'd better tell me everything.'
Outside the running carriage, Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo followed steadily.
"What happened to the young lady?" asked Porcupinefish Douluo.
Snake Lance Douluo shrugged, "I don't know. I was literally with you when she suddenly appeared out of thin air before us."
"Maybe she argued with that boy? You know, the young lady is in the age where she likes to banter and have emotional outbursts occasionally."
"Damn, you know so much for being a maidenless brute." Porcupinefish Douluo commented slyly.
"Call me that again, I'll shove my snake lance to your bum!" Snake Lance's vein popped in annoyance.
Porcupinefish raised his arms and waved them, "Whoa, whoa. I don't swing that way, dude."
"Jeez, how come we are talking from the young lady's weirdness to this bum-threatening spear?"
"..." Snake Lance Douluo.
'You start it first, you fucker!'
He was one annoyance away from really doing it. Then, again, they are on a mission, which means he couldn't risk it.
He, Snake Lance Douluo, is a professional.
Seeing that the brute has gone silent, the Porcupinefish Douluo sighed in relief because this guy might really stick a spear into his bum.
Still, the situation became awkward.
After another hour or two, they reached the Heaven Dou Empire's border and stored the carriage before finally flying to the Spirit Hall. They could have flown from Heaven Dou City, but that would have caught too much attention.
Qian Renxue summoned the White Angelic Dragon she named Xiao Tian, and burst with extreme speed as the contracted dragon blew several clouds in succession.
Swoosh! Boom!
Obviously, she left her bodyguards eating dust.
"..." Porcupinefish Douluo.
"..." Snake Lance Douluo.
What the fuck!
Where did she get that dragon?
A thousand questions ran through the two title douluo's minds. Even then, they couldn't form a coherent reason for this sudden change in Qian Renxue.
"Was it that boy?" It wasn't until Han Yuan flashed in their minds that they connected the dots.
"Holy shit, that boy can give someone a dragon?" Snake Lance Douluo spouted in disbelief.
Porcupinefish Douluo rolled his eyes, "As if he'd give you one."
"Although brief, I noticed the young lady has broken through to the Spirit Emperor Realm, meaning she already got her sixth spirit ring."
"And that dragon is, there is no mistake, a 100,000-year-old spirit beast!"
Snake Lance Douluo was broken silly, "HOLY SHIT, THAT BOY CAN GIVE SOMEONE A 100,000-YEAR-OLD DRAGON!"
'This guy is done for.' Porcupinefish Douluo's mouth twitched.
...
...
Back to Qian Renxue, she rode the White Angelic Dragon and squinted her purple eyes. Despite the wind and fast-changing scenery, her focus was on the Spirit Hall a thousand miles away.
"Xiao Tian, faster!" Qian Renxue ordered, rubbing the dragon's head.
"Okay." Xiao Tian followed Qian Renxue's order calmly as the dragon also wanted to test its limit. Being free is really a motivation.
Swoosh!
A golden light wrapped both Qian Renxue and Xiao Tian as they blew past the sound barrier. As the dragon flapped its angelic wings, they travelled even faster.
Ten minutes later, Qian Renxue could have already seen the majestic Spirit Hall City.
Qian Renxue clenched her hand and said, "Back to my spiritual sea, I will go on by myself from this point."
Xiao Tian helplessly nodded, "Okay, and Renxue. Don't be harsh to yourself."
Qian Renxue was stunned before forcing out a smile, "I know."
"Thank you, Xiao Tian."
Qian Renxue flew toward the Spirit Hall and was 'immediately' greeted by a familiar figure, "Grandpa."
"Xue'er." Qian Daoliu responded. "What happened?"
"You just returned to the Heaven Dou Empire not too long ago?"
Qian Renxue shook her head and said, "Grandpa, you should know what happened between father and that woman, right? I wanted to learn the truth now!"
"This..." Qian Daoliu was helpless. As much as he wanted to tell Qian Renxue about that 'ugly' event, this wasn't the time to do that.
Qian Renxue wasn't ready yet.
Neither is he.
Qian Renxue was silent, and then summoned 'Seraphim' martial soul as a burst of holy light followed afterward.
Qian Daoliu was blinded for a moment as the holy receded and revealed Qian Renxue's spirit rings.
Purple, purple, dark purple, black, darker black, and finally crimson red!
Each of these spirit rings gave Qian Daoliu a 'divine' aura, but the sixth one is very abnormal.
Not only is the sixth spirit ring 100,000 years old, but it also has the breath of a living spirit beast.
However, that's not the only surprise Qian Renxue gave to him.
As Qian Renxue's six white angel-feathered wings unfurled, Qian Daoliu could see the phantom 7th wing appearing.
'T-This is a martial soul's evolution!' Qian Daoliu couldn't believe his eyes for a moment. Although the seventh wing appears to be a phantom and is not tangible, he knew this was probably because Qian Renxue's cultivation level wasn't high enough.
Once Qian Renxue reaches the Spirit Sage Realm, she might get another pair of angel wings.
At that stage, calling Seraphim won't cut it.
Qian Daoliu gulped, 'A-Archangel! My granddaughter has the potential to become an Archangel!'
"Grandpa, I want to meet that woman. Since you don't want to tell me the truth, I will ask the person herself!" Qian Renxue said with conviction as she won't take no for an answer.
Qian Daoliu's mouth twitched because the current Qian Renxue reminded him of Bibi Dong very much.
How domineering.
As expected, like mother, like daughter.
Although Qian Renxue takes after Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu wished she were not as mad as her. The conflict between Bibi Dong and the Qian Family wasn't easy to solve.
It was their fault in the first place.
Qian Renxue ignored Qian Daoliu and flapped her wings toward the Spirit Hall's Palace. Several title douluos wanted to lock onto her presence, but when they sensed the extreme holiness from her, they retracted their sense immediately.
Anyone with a working mind in the Spirit Hall knew that the inherited martial soul is the Seraphim, and there is only one lineage of Seraphim left.
Although the rumor is that the descendant has passed away, they knew the truth wasn't like that. How could a descendant of a level 99 Demi-God die just like that?
Even then, they are still surprised.
The sheer holiness coming from Qian Renxue is terrifying.
In the Worship Hall, several title douluos couldn't help but sigh.
At last, Qian Renxue arrived at the Pope's palace.
She landed on the ground gracefully and walked up the stairs, reaching the massive white door inlaid with gold and precious materials.
As she opened the door, the Pope, Bibi Dong, had already been waiting on her throne.
Bibi Dong stared at Qian Renxue, noticing how big she had become over the past years, and couldn't help but compare her appearance to when she was young. It pained her greatly not to be able to be present and take care of her.
And in the blink of an eye, her daughter has become an adult.
It's too late.
"You're here..." Bibi Dong replied with a hint of weakness.
Qian Renxue raised his eyebrow and replied somberly, "Yes, I am here."
"And I'm here only for one thing."
"I want to know the truth!"
