Chapter 29: Targeted by a Creepy Uncle
After leaving the training ground, Fan Chen relied on his connection with Xiao Bai to quickly find Qian Renxue.
At this moment, Qian Renxue had already finished her cultivation and was playing with Xiao Bai.
Her training regimen was specially tailored and completely different from Fan Chen's brutal method.
Although Fan Chen didn't know the exact details, he could tell at a glance that it was far more relaxed than his own.
Especially that little rascal, Xiao Bai — it was even providing support on the side.
Every time it boosted Qian Renxue, Fan Chen would lose a portion of his own soul power.
In the end, that would cause him to slip up, giving Golden Crocodile Douluo the perfect opportunity to catch him and beat him senseless.
Golden Crocodile Douluo was well aware of Xiao Bai's ability. Whenever this situation occurred, he would appropriately hold back his strength.
"Brother Fan Chen, training ended so early today?"
Qian Renxue stood up and greeted Fan Chen with a sweet smile.
Ever since having Xiao Bai and Fan Chen around, her mood had noticeably improved.
Her previously closed-off personality had gradually begun to change, and she had more or less returned to the lively demeanor a normal little girl should have.
Fan Chen was very satisfied with this treatment effect. He didn't like seeing such a cute little sister looking lifeless every day.
"Yeah. The master specially approved two days off for me to rest. Perfect timing to take you out to have some fun."
"Go out and play? That might not be a good idea…"
Qian Renxue turned her head back with some concern, looking toward the towering building behind her.
Inside was where she trained every day—and also where the Angel God statue stood.
Qian Daoliu was currently seated inside.
"Go ahead and play. Just don't go too far."
Qian Daoliu's voice rang out from within. Clearly, he had tacitly approved Fan Chen's idea.
With Qian Daoliu's permission, Fan Chen was basically holding an immunity token.
Without hesitation, he grabbed Qian Renxue's small hand, then scooped up Xiao Bai from the ground, and immediately dashed off into the distance.
From the way he moved, it was as if he were afraid Qian Daoliu might change his mind at any moment.
Originally, Fan Chen had planned to secretly sneak Qian Renxue out. With Xiao Bai's special abilities, he could easily bypass most of the guards.
Of course, that was only if they didn't get caught by a Titled Douluo.
Everything in Spirit City was great, except there were simply too many Titled Douluo experts.
It made Fan Chen feel constrained, no matter what he wanted to do. Especially now that both he and Qian Renxue were key figures under close watch, sneaking out on their own was truly not easy.
Fan Chen himself also had methods to evade surveillance, but he wasn't nearly as proficient as Xiao Bai.
After all, one was born with it, while the other learned it later — naturally, there was a difference.

Angel Temple.
Qian Daoliu sat cross-legged beneath the divine statue, quietly sensing the two figures as they departed.
"These two little rascals…"
Perhaps influenced by Fan Chen and Xiao Bai's lively personalities, even his perpetually expressionless face would occasionally show a hint of a smile.
At this moment, Qian Daoliu raised his head to look at the Angel God statue and slowly closed his eyes.
Qian Renxue was the successor personally acknowledged by the Angel God. Her existence was incomparably important.
He would absolutely never allow ordinary people to casually come into contact with her.
But Xiao Bai and Fan Chen were different—they were existences tacitly approved by the Angel God.
Although he didn't know why, since it was the Angel God's will, he would naturally comply.
"Hm? What's that smell?"
At that moment, Qian Daoliu suddenly caught a strange odor.
And it was coming from the direction of the Angel God statue.
With a look of curiosity, he stood up and walked to the foot of the statue.
In the next instant, his expression collapsed completely.
Because beneath the Angel God statue was a puddle of some unknown liquid.
And the source of the smell was precisely that puddle.
"This is… urine?!"
Qian Daoliu froze on the spot.
Someone actually dared to piss beneath the Angel God statue.
Within the entire Angel Temple, only a handful of people were allowed to enter—there was no way anyone would do something like this.
Wait—no, that's not right. There actually was one.
Qian Daoliu vaguely recalled that when Qian Renxue was training, Xiao Bai would often lie right here and sleep.
At that thought, Qian Daoliu instantly locked onto the culprit.
This was outright blasphemy against a God.
Qian Daoliu's anger erupted instantly.
"You little bastard, I—"
But just as his rage was about to completely explode, a faint glow suddenly emanated from the Angel God statue.
In that instant, Qian Daoliu calmed down.
He hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, bowing in reverence toward the statue. But before he could complete the full sequence of rites—
The divine radiance descended upon him, and he froze on the spot.
It was only after the light faded for quite some time that he finally came back to his senses.
Yet the disbelief on his face had not diminished in the slightest.
The reason Qian Daoliu wore such an expression was simple—the white light had just been a divine oracle from the Angel God.
But the contents of that oracle left him utterly baffled.
"The Angel God not only didn't blame that little thing… she even told me not to lay a hand on him?"
Not only was he forbidden from acting, but more importantly, the Angel God had personally sent a divine oracle just because of this incident.
For something like this to issue a divine oracle—was that little thing the Angel God's ancestor or something? Such ridiculous favoritism!
Of course, Qian Daoliu couldn't possibly ask about it directly. After racking his brain and still finding no answer, he could only sigh helplessly and clean up the "treasure" Xiao Bai had left beneath the statue himself.
…
God Realm.
Inside the palace of the Angel God.
The Angel God stood rigidly in place, as silent as a cicada in winter.
Before her, there was no one—
Only a fully bloomed red spider lily resting on the ground, dazzling to the eye.
"She actually… woke up!"
…
Spirit City.
Fan Chen led Qian Renxue through the streets and alleys of the city.
Two lively, adorable children, accompanied by an even more adorable Xiao Bai.
This peculiar trio naturally attracted the attention of countless passersby.
However, seeing the specially tailored Spirit Hall uniforms they wore, no one dared approach them casually.
These uniforms symbolized status—proof that the identities of these two children were extraordinarily noble.
If an ordinary person dared provoke them, someone would surely show up very soon to "deal with it."
Qian Renxue rarely appeared in crowded places. Faced with such a scene, she instinctively felt a little uneasy.
Her small hands tightly clutched Fan Chen's hand, afraid that if she let go, he would disappear.
Fan Chen, on the other hand, felt no such discomfort.
After all, the night markets from his previous life were far livelier than this.
At this moment, he was like a nimble little fish, weaving effortlessly through the sea of people.
"Xiao Xue, this one's tasty—try it."
"This looks good on you. I'll buy this for you."
"Boss, you're charging way too much for this. Don't think you can cheat me just because I'm a kid. Look how cute I am—give me a twenty percent discount, yeah?"
...
Fan Chen's smooth, fearless interactions left Qian Renxue feeling genuinely envious.
She also wanted to be like him—afraid of nothing, burdened by no worries.
Sadly, she couldn't do that.
But as long as he could, that was enough for her.
Because as long as she stayed by his side, all worries would disappear.
That was what Qian Renxue believed, and she had always believed it.
Just as Fan Chen was happily haggling with a vendor, a pair of golden eyes in the distance locked firmly onto him.
"So I finally found you… Auspicious Beast!"
