The Heaven Dou Empire had specially prepared fifteen luxurious carriages for the participating team members to ride and rest in.
The teachers, on the other hand, rode in ordinary carriages.
Jiang Chen, as Qian Renxue's guard, rode a horse alongside Zhao Hu and the others, following beside Qian Renxue's carriage.
Every day, Jiang Chen would be summoned into the carriage by Qian Renxue and would stay inside for at least half an hour before coming out.
What happened inside was known only to the two of them.
The carriage Qian Renxue rode in was even more luxurious than those of the participating team members.
Following her instructions, many soul tool technologies had been incorporated into the carriage.
The shock absorption effect was extremely good; even if a fight broke out inside the carriage, there would not be the slightest vibration visible from the outside.
What satisfied Jiang Chen and Qian Renxue the most was the carriage's soundproofing effect. Under the special soul tool's power, it completely blocked the transmission of sound and could even isolate spiritual power probes.
At this moment, Qian Renxue was already about six months pregnant, and the height of her bulging belly was quite astonishing.
Jiang Chen checked on his daughter and felt extremely satisfied.
What shocked him was that this little fellow's life aura had already become thick to an extremely astonishing degree.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but look forward to just how monstrous this little fellow's cultivation talent would be after being born.
Both parents were extremely monstrous existences, and on top of that, being nourished every day by that miraculous energy, she would probably become the number one genius in the history of the Douluo Continent.
Jiang Chen shared his speculation with Qian Renxue, making her extremely delighted. Her large eyes curved into crescents, her face full of happiness.
After the two of them secretly enjoyed a moment of warmth, Qian Renxue put her mask back on and used soul skills to conceal her figure and aura.
Jiang Chen got out of the carriage and mounted his horse again.
He glanced in the direction of Shrek Academy but still did not see the Grandmaster's figure.
From the day they set out, Jiang Chen had noticed that the Grandmaster had disappeared.
So many days had passed, and the Grandmaster still had not appeared.
"Yu Xiaogang should have gone to find the teacher. Sigh, I hope Teacher's heart is firm enough," Jiang Chen sighed inwardly.
He really did not want his teacher Bibi Dong to have any more entanglements with Yu Xiaogang.
Jiang Chen's gaze fell on the surrounding knights.
The Royal Knight Order truly deserved to be the ace of the Heaven Dou Empire. Their discipline was extremely strict, and their combat power was much stronger than that of ordinary armies.
It was a pity that this knight order had always been firmly controlled by Xue Ye.
...
The traveling days passed one by one, and many people began to feel fatigue and weariness.
Jiang Chen and Qian Renxue immersed themselves in happiness and joy every day.
The two of them would spend some time warmly together each day, then look at their baby, and all fatigue would disappear without a trace.
The plot of the Spirit Hall ambushing Tang San midway did not occur.
Originally, during the qualifiers, Tang San had defeated Feng Xiaotian with the strength of a Soul Venerable, drawing Salas's attention.
Salas had specially checked Tang San's soul master registration records in the Spirit Hall over the years. After learning about Tang San's astonishing talent, he began to recruit him.
After the recruitment failed, he wrote a letter, preparing to send it back to the Papal Palace, suggesting that the Pope eliminate Tang San. However, Jiang Chen had intercepted it.
Therefore, that assassination segment did not happen.
Even if Salas had sent the letter back, the assassination was destined to fail.
There was still Tang Hao secretly watching in the dark. If Tang Hao was truly forced out, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo would likely lose their lives.
Even if several more Title Douluo were sent, they might not necessarily be able to keep Tang San and his son. Instead, they might expose the identity of the Spirit Hall in front of everyone.
Twenty days later, the Heaven Dou Empire's team participating in the finals finally arrived at Spirit City.
Under the arrangement of a Spirit Hall red-robed cardinal, apart from the guards, the group of more than two hundred people was arranged to stay in a luxurious hotel on the west side of Spirit City.
Jiang Chen had not returned to Spirit City for half a year and was filled with longing for his teacher and senior sister.
Qian Renxue had been away from Spirit City for eight years. Now that she had returned, only sighs remained in her heart, along with deep longing for her grandfather and mother.
If it weren't daytime right now, she would probably have rushed back to the Papal Palace already.
Jiang Chen comforted her, saying they would find an opportunity to return to the Papal Palace after dark.
After settling everyone in, the red-robed cardinal also informed them of the competition schedule.
Taking into account that all the academies had traveled a long way and were fatigued, the competition would begin in three days.
With three days to rest and adjust, every academy would be able to bring its condition to its peak.
...
In the evening, after finishing dinner, Qian Renxue announced early that she was going to rest and that no one was to disturb her.
Zhao Hu and the others guarded the door, while Jiang Chen and Qian Renxue had already quietly slipped out.
Both of them had restored their original appearances. Even if they stood in front of the people from the Heaven Dou Empire, it was unlikely anyone would recognize them.
Qian Renxue wore the dress Bibi Dong had prepared for her before. Under the disguise of her soul skill, her already swollen belly still appeared slender. Even if one touched it with their hand, it felt completely flat.
However, her chest had become even fuller, not inferior at all to the current Bibi Dong.
Jiang Chen led Qian Renxue back to the foot of the long-unseen Papal Mountain.
Qian Renxue felt nervous in her heart, but also full of anticipation.
The Papal Palace's guard knights all recognized Jiang Chen's appearance and did not dare to obstruct them in the slightest.
The two arrived at the entrance of the Papal Palace halfway up the mountain.
Qian Renxue was slightly out of breath. There was now an extra burden inside her body, and her movements were no longer as easy as before.
"Xue'er, who should we see first?" Jiang Chen asked.
Qian Renxue thought for a moment and said, "Let's go see my mother first."
Jiang Chen nodded and led Qian Renxue toward Bibi Dong's study.
At this time of day, Bibi Dong should be in her study.
When they reached the door of the study, Jiang Chen waved his hand, signaling the maid who was about to speak to retreat.
With the competition approaching, affairs were busy. Bibi Dong was buried in handling documents until Jiang Chen knocked on the door, at which point she raised her head.
The moment she saw Jiang Chen and Qian Renxue standing at the doorway, this usually strong female Pope's body trembled, and a complicated expression flashed quickly across her face.
In the end, she stood up, somewhat flustered yet also expectant.
Jiang Chen pulled the similarly somewhat flustered Qian Renxue in front of Bibi Dong.
"Teacher, I've brought Xue'er back," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
He firmly squeezed Qian Renxue's hand. Qian Renxue finally gathered her courage and looked seriously at Bibi Dong.
"Mom." A call full of emotion rang out.
Bibi Dong had been waiting for this call for countless days and nights. Tears surged from her eyes as she pulled Qian Renxue into her arms.
The two women embraced each other, tears flowing freely, accompanied by sobs.
Even after several minutes had passed, the two were still unwilling to separate.
Jiang Chen stood to the side, coughed lightly twice, and said, "The entire Spirit City is almost going to be flooded by your tears."
Both women looked over at the same time and glared fiercely at Jiang Chen.
Bibi Dong pulled Qian Renxue to sit on the small bed for resting on the side, holding her daughter's hand and unwilling to let go.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Have you eaten? If not, Mom will cook for you."
"I've already eaten," Qian Renxue said, feeling deeply moved.
Jiang Chen sat down not far away. Since the mother and daughter were pouring out their feelings, it wasn't appropriate for him to interrupt.
However, watching the two great beauties sitting together was an extremely pleasing sight.
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were the most outstanding women Jiang Chen had seen so far.
They talked for a full two hours. Only after Jiang Chen's reminder did Qian Renxue stand up.
"Mom, I have to go see Grandpa. I still need to rush back to the hotel before dawn."
Although reluctant, Bibi Dong also understood the importance.
"Go ahead. However, your grandfather has never liked me. You must not have any conflicts with him because of me." Bibi Dong sighed.
Thinking of Qian Renxue's father, her heart ached, but she did not show it.
She knew Qian Daoliu couldn't forgive her. As long as she and Qian Renxue no longer had a strained relationship, she was already content.
