At the same time.
The core of the Star Dou Great Forest, a thatched cottage.
"Sign in!"
[Ding! Sign-in successful! Received 1,000 points!]
Chen Shenggē was dumbfounded, a question mark appearing in his mind.
Wait!
This… this isn't right! Why is the sign-in reward points this time?
"System, what are points?"
[Ding! Points can be exchanged for anything in the mall!]
[Warm reminder: Except for special days, sign-in rewards are always points!]
[Special days refer to months, seasons, and years! This is the bond between the owner and the system!]
Chen Shenggē pondered for a moment and knew what the system was planning.
He strongly suspected that the system didn't know what to give, so it temporarily added the points setting.
When his protégé Chen Qīnglíng needs something, he can use points to exchange for it and send it to his daughter.
Very good! Playing it this way, huh! The plan is so obvious.
"System, show my daughter's status panel."
Immediately, a virtual panel appeared in Chen Shenggē's eyes.
[Name]: Chen Qīnglíng
[Martial Soul]: Goddess of Light Butterfly
[Realm]: Level 13 Soul Master
[Soul Skill]: First Soul Skill Light Butterfly Blade [Age]: 12 [Body]: Healthy …
The panel information was unremarkable.
"I wonder what my daughter is up to now."
The panel information disappeared, and the sky screen took its place.
Chen Shenggē watched with his own eyes as his daughter parted ways with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to venture out into the world.
"As expected of my daughter, so ambitious!"
At the same time, he realized his daughter truly wanted to find her mother, who had been missing for many years.
"Alas, Qinglíng's mother, how could you be so heartless, abandoning the two of us and leaving us to fend for ourselves! Even if you just came to secretly see your daughter!"
Qinglíng is such a good child, it's a shame she doesn't have her mother's companionship.
Over the years, Chen Shenggē had also grown resentful towards the woman he never knew.
If Qinglíng could truly find her mother and bring her back, he would demand to know clearly why she did this! Why did she abandon her husband and daughter! Was she afraid to take responsibility for her actions!
Heaven Dou Imperial City.
Chen Qīnglíng walked alone on the bustling streets, her eyes blankly scanning her surroundings.
She couldn't see through the vast crowd, and suddenly felt out of place here.
Unsure where to go, she felt like a headless fly.
Chen Qīnglíng couldn't help but have thoughts of giving up.
"No, I finally managed to get out, I can't give up when faced with even this little hardship."
"Qinglíng, you have to keep going, you can do it!" Chen Qīnglíng muttered to herself, cheering herself on.
Next, she watched all sorts of passersby on the street, hoping to find someone who bore some resemblance to her.
She didn't know how long this search took, but Chen Qīnglíng finally realized how difficult it was to find her mother by herself.
At the same time, she knew that with her current method, she might not find her even if she searched her whole life.
"Sigh…"
The sky gradually darkened, and Chen Qīnglíng decided to find an inn to stay in.
As she walked, she noticed she seemed to be being followed.
No matter where she went, there were always three figures following closely behind.
Chen Qīnglíng couldn't help but quicken her pace, and the three people relentlessly chasing her also sped up.
She was indeed being followed by bad people!
Chen Qīnglíng's heart skipped a beat. She had encountered the kind of bad people her father always talked about!
What to do! What should I do! Chen Qīnglíng knew her own strength was limited and she definitely wouldn't be able to defeat the three people following her.
It's difficult enough to get out only to encounter danger? Chen Qingling was unwilling.
She had carelessly walked into a dead end, and the three people who had been tracking her dropped their pretense.
"Run! Why aren't you running anymore!"
"Hehehe! Little sister, don't be afraid of us. We uncles just saw you were too lonely and cold all by yourself, so we came looking for you."
"Little sister, don't resist. Why don't you play with us?"
"Hahahaha!"
Chen Qingling gritted her teeth, glaring fiercely at the three blocking her path.
She had never imagined she would encounter thugs attempting to rob her in broad daylight.
"Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"
The three exchanged glances and burst into laughter. "No, little sister, what are you talking about? Divine retribution?"
"We've done plenty, and we've never faced divine retribution!"
"Boss, why waste words with the little sister! It's my turn first this time!"
"Hehehe, little sister, you're so pretty! I bet you're delicious!"
"I'm from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect." Seeing that the lewd trio was completely unfazed, Chen Qingling could only invoke the name of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"From the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Oh, I'm so scared!"
"Even if the supreme ruler himself came today, he couldn't save you! Afterwards, we'll slip away, what can the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect do to us!"
Listening to the lewd trio's words, Chen Qingling felt a wave of panic, praying that her father would help her.
[Ding! Detected that the cultivation target Chen Qingling is in danger. Do you wish to spend one thousand points to exchange for a Soul Saint One-Minute Experience Card!]
"What?!"
"My daughter just left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? And she's already in danger?"
"Exchange!"
Chen Shenggē exclaimed, exchanging the card without a second thought.
As one of the lewd men advanced step by step, Chen Qingling prepared to fight to the death.
At the critical moment, she felt her pocket bulge, her eyes brightened, and a charming smile curved her lips.
"Well, well, little sister can still smile."
"Hmph! My Daddy won't let you bully me!"
Chen Qinglíng snorted and pulled a card of unknown origin from her pocket.
The card transformed into a streak of light and entered Chen Qinglíng's body. Instantly, her cultivation level soared, stopping only when she reached the Soul Saint realm.
Feeling the inexhaustible soul power within her, Chen Qinglíng knew her father would always protect her silently.
The sudden turn of events thoroughly startled the scummy trio.
"B-Boss… what's going on?"
"That little sister's aura is terrifying… her cultivation seems higher than ours!"
"Nonsense! We followed her all the way, and she was just a level thirteen Soul Master. This must be a trick!"
"Attack!"
With their boss's reassuring words, the lackeys dared to advance again.
Chen Qinglíng didn't know how to control the soul power within her, so she could only release it.
Terrifying soul power surged outwards, stunning the scummy trio.
"This… this… is a Soul Saint?"
"How is that possible!"
Seeing the situation take a turn for the worse, the leader of the scummy trio turned tail and ran. As for his two lackeys, they could only pray for their own survival!
"Boss! Don't leave us!"
The two lackeys shrieked in terror, scrambling to escape.
Chen Qinglíng, having regained her composure, wouldn't let the two get away this time.
"Light Butterfly Blade!"
Two blades of light shot out, directly piercing the two who were too slow to escape.
Bang! The two fell into a pool of blood, unconscious.
Watching the two die in the blood, Chen Qinglíng's face turned deathly pale.
She looked at her hands in disbelief, her eyes filled with panic, "I… I killed someone…"
This was Chen Qinglíng's first time killing someone, and it was impressive enough that she didn't vomit.
