Chapter 438: Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue, a Heart-to-Heart Conversation Between Grandfather and Granddaughter
Since holding the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud allowed him to communicate consciously with the Devil Spirit Great White Shark, Lin Qingmo suddenly had an idea.
The number of 10,000-year Spirit Beasts in these waters was far greater than on land.
Since the Devil Spirit Great White Shark could understand him, why not take this opportunity to have it lead the way, hunt more 10,000-year Spirit Beasts, and collect a few more Spirit Bones?
Spirit Bones were always a necessity for a Spirit Master.
One was never too few, and six were never too many.
He asked the Devil Spirit Great White Shark if there were any 10,000-year Spirit Beasts in the surrounding waters.
The response he received surprised him.
There were quite a few 10,000-year Spirit Beasts within a radius of several hundred miles.
The richness of this sea area far exceeded his estimation.
"No wonder the Evil Demon Orca pod uses this place as a hunting ground." Lin Qingmo muttered to himself.
Before the ladies initiated their Spirit BoneFusion, he shared his idea with them.
"What? Hunt more 10,000-year Spirit Beasts?" Ning Rongrong put down her chopsticks, her eyes lighting up. "Yes, yes! I approve!"
"You didn’t get a single Spirit Bone from the orcas during the day, so that’s why you’re so enthusiastic?" Dugu Yan squinted at her.
"Hehe..." Ning Rongrong scratched her head in embarrassment. "After all, it’s a Spirit Bone. I’m quite envious, you know."
The others also supported Lin Qingmo’s decision.
Thus, the matter was easily settled.
Lin Qingmo didn’t mind arriving at Sea God Island a few days late.
At night, the corridor of the sea fish cabin was quiet, with only the rhythm of the waves hitting the ship’s hull.
In Lin Qingmo’s room, another rhythm had just ceased.
The bedding on the bed was in a mess, and the air was filled with a lingering, special aftertaste.
Lin Qingmo leaned against the headboard, his breathing not yet fully steady.
Holding Bibi Dong in his arms, her entire weight rested against his chest.
Her long purple hair was scattered over his arms and the pillow, and tiny beads of sweat were glistening on her temples.
That face, usually cold and untouchable, was flushed with an unnatural crimson at this moment.
Sister Donghuang’s combat prowess was fierce as always, and Lin Qingmo had a feeling that he would be drained dry sooner or later.
Of course, Bibi Dong was no better off; she was slightly dehydrated.
"Sister Donghuang, drink some water." Lin Qingmo brought a cup of water to her lips.
Bibi Dong sipped it in small mouthfuls.
As her eyes roamed, catching his concerned expression, a warm current surged in her heart.
She suddenly realized that when Lin Qingmo faced her now, he no longer had the reserve he once had for his Master.
For instance, right now, he was holding her waist with one hand while feeding her water with the other, and he even used his fingers to wipe away the water stains from her lips.
Was this the attitude of a disciple toward his Master?
It was clearly that of a husband toward his wife!
Bibi Dong lowered her eyelashes, the corners of her lips slightly upturned.
She liked this change.
"A-Qing." Her voice was lazy and hoarse.
"Hmm?"
"You just said you wanted to go hunt 10,000-year Spirit Beasts?"
Lin Qingmo nodded and briefly explained his plan.
Bibi Dong listened quietly and then suddenly asked, "Does your Master need to take action?"
Although it was a question, her tone carried an overbearing air of "as long as you ask, I will go and wipe out the entire family of those Spirit Beasts immediately."
Lin Qingmo shook his head with a smile. "No need."
"I can handle a few 10,000-year Spirit Beasts on my own."
When he said this, his eyes were full of confidence and composure, without any pretense.
Bibi Dong looked at him blankly.
In a daze, she remembered when she had just taken him as a disciple; this child was still a youth who didn’t even have a spirit ring.
Today, however, he could calmly face 10,000-year Spirit Beasts.
He had grown up so fast.
So fast that she felt a bit dazed.
So fast that she wanted to give him a reward.
Her eyes shifted, and she decided to give him a reward.
"Sister Donghuang, what’s wrong?"
Seeing Bibi Dong stunned, Lin Qingmo had just asked when he saw her suddenly slide under the quilt.
He was stunned for a moment, then felt a strange sensation.
His brain instantly crashed!
"Sis... Sister Donghuang?!"
A muffled voice came from inside: "Don’t speak."
Lin Qingmo felt completely overwhelmed.
This was a Titled Douluo-level supreme expert!
And now, she was actually...
He lowered his head, and the bulge was slowly rising and falling.
A strange feeling shot up his spine like an electric current, making his brain feel numb.
Spirit City, Enshrinement Hall.
Moonlight poured down from the stained glass windows at the top of the hall, illuminating the wings of the Angel God statue.
The entire hall was vast and solemn.
The air was filled with a tranquil scent of incense and ancient wood.
A golden figure stood in front of the statue, the phantom of the Angel Martial Soul flickering behind her.
Qian Renxue had already taken off the cumbersome Crown Prince robes of Xue Qinghe and changed back into the attire befitting the Young Master of Spirit Hall.
A simple and sharp golden combat outfit.
Her long golden hair was tied into a high ponytail with a white ribbon, and she once again exuded a sharp edge.
Standing in front of her was Qian Daoliu.
His hair and beard were white, but his back was straighter than anyone else’s.
Those cloudy, old eyes were filled with complex emotions at this moment.
He already knew that Qian Renxue had caused the identity of Xue Qinghe, the Heaven DouCrown Prince, to completely perish.
Emperor Xue Ye was grief-stricken and furious.
The court of the Heaven Dou Empire was in turmoil.
And Spirit Hall’s decade-long plan to steal the country had gone down the drain overnight.
"Xue’er." Qian Daoliu spoke, his voice old and deep.
"Are you willing to tell Grandfather what exactly happened?"
"Why did you suddenly interrupt the plan and choose to return to Spirit Hall?"
Qian Renxue looked into her grandfather’s cloudy yet still sharp eyes.
"I’m tired."
Her voice was calm, without fluctuation.
"I’ve played the Heaven DouCrown Prince for over a decade, dealing with a bunch of old men every day; it’s simply a waste of time."
A new flame flickered in her golden eyes.
"And I realized one thing."
"Grandfather, you said that on the Douluo Continent, strength is paramount."
"I never understood that, until I saw with my own eyes someone go from being far behind me to surpassing me in less than a year."
"I discovered that schemes and intrigues are worthless in the face of absolute strength."
"So I don’t want to pretend anymore."
"I want to come back and Cultivate properly, Breakthrough to Titled Douluo as soon as possible, participate in the Angel God Trial, and inherit the Angel God Position."
"!!!"
Qian Daoliu stared blankly at his granddaughter.
In those golden eyes, there was no longer the gloomy calculation from when she was playing the Crown Prince.
Instead, there was a long-lost, sharp radiance that belonged to the real Qian Renxue.
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and a thin mist rose in his cloudy old eyes.
"Xue’er."
"Do you know how long Grandfather has waited for you to say these words?"
"Grandfather..."
Qian Renxue lowered her head, not knowing how to respond.
"Your Awakening came several years earlier than Grandfather expected."
An old palm pressed heavily on Qian Renxue’s shoulder.
"Grandfather is very happy, truly."
"Grandfather..."
Qian Renxue felt her eyes heat up, but she didn’t let the tears fall.
Pursing her lips, the expression on Qian Renxue’s face turned from firm to hesitant.
She moved her lips several times before finally squeezing out those words.
"Grandfather, I still want to ask you one thing."
"What is it?"
"About my father, about my mother."
"About..."
She closed her eyes, as if it took all her strength to say the word: "My father’s killer!"
