Inside the Hall of Worship in Wuhun City.
The magnificent hall was illuminated by the golden light from the sky, and a sacred aura flowed through the air.
Qian Renxue tilted her snow-white neck back, her golden eyes fixed on the cold and beautiful figure in the sky.
The woman in the picture is surrounded by glasses, and the sharp, piercing sense of spatial division is so intense that it can make your skin sting even through the screen.
"It's Sister Jing."
Qian Renxue turned around and looked at Qian Yu, who was sitting in the main seat, her tone carrying a hint of familiarity and intimacy.
Qian Renxue was no stranger to this woman who had always remained hidden in the Spirit Hall's secret service, handling her father's shady affairs.
In many instances, Jing's guidance to her was even more extensive than that of her so-called mother.
Qianyu put down her teacup, the porcelain cup making a crisp sound as it collided with the table.
He looked up at the sky, his expression still as languid and composed as ever.
"Jing's strength has indeed improved a lot."
"This fourteenth place is well-deserved."
After speaking, Qianyu stood up and straightened the long robe she was wearing, which looked somewhat solemn at this moment.
He walked to the entrance of the main hall, stood with his hands behind his back, and gazed into the distance, as if piercing through layers of void to look at the distant seashore.
"Xue'er, go and get ready."
Qianyu's voice was calm, yet it conveyed an undeniable decisiveness.
"We will set off for the Sea Moon Empire early tomorrow morning."
Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback, then asked with some confusion:
"Father, weren't we supposed to set off today?"
According to the original plan, they should already be on their way to the seaside.
Qianyu turned around, smiled helplessly, and gently pointed her finger in the air towards the direction of the Papal Palace.
"You've made such a mess of the Papal Palace, how can I leave in peace without cleaning up this mess?"
"Now that Jing has driven everyone away, the order of the Spirit Hall needs to be reorganized."
As she said this, a hint of mockery flashed in Qianyu's eyes.
"Having delayed our journey by a day, I'm afraid Haiyue will be quite unhappy again."
"That woman is extremely jealous."
"If we arrive late, they might cause some trouble, and we'll have to spend time and effort to appease them."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue couldn't help but smile.
She nodded and obediently replied:
"Xue'er understands."
"Go and arrange the procession."
...
The night was as dark as ink, dotted with stars.
The inner palace behind the main hall was filled with steam.
The enormous bath is carved from a single piece of warm jade, with hot spring water bubbling and emitting wisps of white mist.
Qianyu took off her outer robe and leaned against the edge of the bath, casually resting her arms on the side of the tub. She closed her eyes slightly, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.
A series of light footsteps approached, accompanied by a faint scent of maple leaves.
"..."
Gongsun Li, wearing a red gauze dress as thin as a cicada's wing, carried a change of clothes in her hands and walked in quietly.
She looked at the man in the bathtub, her lively rabbit ears trembling slightly, and a blush appeared on her beautiful face.
Ever since she started following Qianyu, she had been looking forward to this day.
Tonight, it's finally her turn to serve the emperor.
Gongsun Li put down the items in her hand and walked behind Qianyu.
Those soft, boneless little hands gently rested on Qianyu's shoulders, massaging them with just the right amount of pressure.
"Master, is the force just right?"
Are you satisfied?
Gongsun Li's voice was soft, tinged with shyness and nervousness.
Qianyu didn't open her eyes, but simply hummed softly.
"It's acceptable."
Upon receiving an affirmative reply, Gongsun Li's joy was almost overflowing.
Her fingers slid down Qianyu's shoulder, her fingertips brushing against his firm chest, sending a tingling sensation through her.
Amidst the swirling mist, Gongsun Li slowly stood up.
Her red gauze dress slid down her graceful figure, piling up at her feet like a blooming red lotus.
Her skin was as white as snow, and it glowed with a warm luster in the candlelight.
Her long, slender legs moved gently, creating a splashing sound.
Gongsun Li stepped into the pool and slowly approached Qianyu.
The warm pool water washed over her skin, but it couldn't conceal the burning passion in her heart.
She came to Qianyu and nestled gently into his broad embrace like a docile kitten.
Qianyu opened his eyes, looked at the beautiful woman in his arms, and smiled slightly.
He reached out and gently lifted Gongsun Li's chin.
"Ah Li looks beautiful tonight."
A simple sentence made Gongsun Li's body go limp instantly.
Her face was as red as a ripe apple, and her eyes were filled with a hazy mist.
"Ali is willing to do anything for you as long as you are happy."
Rippling water, mandarin ducks playing in the water.
This night was destined to be infinitely beautiful.
...
Even as springtime filled the room, the rankings in the sky did not stop.
The golden light trembled once more, and a new name slowly emerged.
[13th on the Douluo Power Ranking!]
[Sikong Zhen! ]
The scene depicts a thunderous roar.
A burly man, his body crackling with purple lightning, stood proudly in the sky.
With every gesture he made, thunder roared across the sky, as if a thunder god had descended to earth, his power overwhelming all.

[Ranked 12th on the Douluo Power Ranking!]
[Gongsun Li!]
The scene shifts, with maple leaves fluttering in the air.
A red-clad figure danced gracefully amidst the falling maple leaves, her paper umbrella opening and closing with a hidden, deadly intent.
Beneath those exquisite dance moves lies a chilling explosive power.

...
The next day.
Hanhai City.
This city, located at the westernmost end of the Douluo Continent, is filled with a strong, salty, fishy smell in the air.
The waves crashed against the rocks, creating a thunderous roar.
Bibi Dong stood on the pier, the sea breeze ruffling her hair, but unable to dispel the gloom on her face.
She looked up at the two names still hanging in the sky, her eyes blazing with fury.
"Sikong Zhen... Gongsun Li..."
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth as she muttered those two names, her fingers gripping the railing of the pier so tightly that her knuckles turned white from the force.
"Those two damned bastards again!"
How could she possibly forget those two people?
