Bibi Dong's eighth and ninth rings are both hundred-thousand-year rings-let Clear Sky fall!

"That hundred-thousand-year Death Spider Emperor that suddenly vanished?"

Bibi Dong's eyes lit up, and she grew excited.

"Brother Ji, was that when you originally said you were taking me to Death Canyon to hunt a hundred-thousand-year Death Spider Emperor?

But when we got there, it was gone, though thankfully we found a hundred-thousand-year Soul Devouring Spider Emperor right arm bone?"

"That's right."

Qian Xunji nodded with a smile.

"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts aren't small. Once they leave their original habitats, they're bound to leave some trace behind.

But after that hundred-thousand-year Death Spider Emperor disappeared, there wasn't a single clue.

That can only mean that, like Ah Yin, she chose to take human form and enter the human world."

Ah Yin nodded in agreement and said,

"That's right. This Death Spider Emperor probably hid herself away and cultivated quietly after taking human form, just like I did.

After all these years, she might have already cultivated to the Soul Saint level and entered the Mature Stage."

Although Ah Yin was in the same situation as A Zhu, both being Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts who had taken human form, Ah Yin didn't consider A Zhu one of her own in the slightest.

Although both were Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts who had taken human form, Ah Yin now considered herself married to the strongest Soul Master in the human world.

Besides, Ah Yin wouldn't help A Zhu simply because they were both Soul Beasts.

After all, Soul Beasts preyed on each other too.

All in all, Ah Yin lived by the saying: "Marry a rooster, follow the rooster; marry a dog, follow the dog."

Since she had become Qian Xunji's woman, Ah Yin would naturally know her place.

As for A Zhu?

She had nothing to do with Ah Yin.

Even though Bibi Dong was human and A Zhu was a Soul Beast in human form,

Ah Yin would only choose to stand with Bibi Dong, whom she knew better.

"Speaking of which, Brother Ji."

Ah Yin paused, then looked up.

"What is it, Ah Yin? Go on."

Qian Xunji smiled gently.

"Whether or not our child awakens my Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, he should have the royal bloodline of my Blue Silver Clan in him.

Once he's grown a little, I'll take him back to the Blue Silver Forest and awaken his Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline in my clan's sacred land. That will also improve his affinity with Plant-type Soul Beasts and his potential to a certain extent.

What do you think?"

Ah Yin spoke somewhat nervously.

Ah Yin thought that Qian Xunji might believe that, since their child had inherited his Angel Bloodline, he shouldn't awaken the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline that represented Soul Beasts.

"Of course, Ah Yin. The stronger our child is, the happier I'll be."

Qian Xunji affectionately ruffled Ah Yin's long blue hair and spoke softly.

"By the way, the last time I went back to the Blue Silver Forest with you, I met your steward, the Blue Silver King with eighty-five thousand years of cultivation."

"That's right. The Blue Silver King is wonderful. Brother Ji, do you have something in mind for him?" Ah Yin asked curiously.

"I still have an Immortal Herb, the Aromatic Silk Beauty. It's a sacred treasure to Soul Beasts."

As Qian Xunji spoke, a thought stirred, and he took a jade box from the storage ring on his index finger.

Under the control of his Soul Power, the jade box slowly opened, revealing the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

"I intend to give it to the Blue Silver King.

It should be enough to raise his cultivation to a hundred thousand years. Then, even if we don't go back, you won't have to worry about the Blue Silver Forest being persecuted."

Qian Xunji smiled.

"Brother Ji, you..."

Ah Yin's eyes reddened, moved by his gesture.

"What, are you unwilling?"

"I am!

Brother Ji, let me thank you on the Blue Silver King's behalf."

Ah Yin hurriedly said.

"It's nothing. We're all family."

Qian Xunji waved a hand with a smile and put the Aromatic Silk Beauty away.

"Brother Ji, you and Dong'er go get some rest. I'll keep cultivating and try to break through to level ninety before the wedding.

I absolutely won't disgrace myself at the wedding!"

Ah Yin stepped out of Qian Xunji's embrace of her own accord and spoke with a resolute expression.

"All right."

Qian Xunji nodded.

"Do your best, Sister Ah Yin. I'm looking forward to that day too!" Bibi Dong said with a playful wink and a smile.

As far as Bibi Dong was concerned, even if Ah Yin's child was sufficiently talented, he wouldn't threaten her or Qian Renxue's positions.

Instead, during Ah Yin's pregnancy, she could receive more of Qian Xunji's affection.

She hoped to bear Qian Xunji another child.

That night, Qian Xunji went to Bibi Dong's bedchamber.

With little Qian Renxue at her grandfather Qian Daoliu's place, her mother Bibi Dong was free to let Qian Xunji lavish affection on her.

That night, the Six-Winged Angel once again battled the Death Spider Emperor.

But, rather strangely, sounds that stirred the imagination drifted out.

Early the next morning, Qian Xunji, who had been riding Bibi Dong, washed up briefly and arrived at the Pope's Hall feeling refreshed.

"Your Holiness, this is the information on the Soul Master suspected of being the hundred-thousand-year Death Spider Emperor from Death Canyon in human form."

Gui Mei stepped forward and handed him a Martial Soul dossier.

Seated on the papal throne, Qian Xunji lazily beckoned.

His Soul Power formed a hand and held the dossier floating in front of him.

"I didn't expect this, Tang Hao."

Qian Xunji narrowed his eyes as he looked at "A Zhu" in the dossier, along with the information on her movements and the people she associated with closely.

He hadn't expected that cutting Tang Hao off and taking Ah Yin for himself would produce a butterfly effect.

With Ah Yin gone, the Death Spider Emperor who should have died at Bibi Dong's hands in the original story had instead become another Soul Beast in human form and gotten together with Tang Hao.

Hehe, I originally had no intention of making a move against you so soon.

In my plans, you, a mere Soul Douluo, weren't worthy of me taking action personally.

Qian Xunji spoke to himself inwardly, his gaze gradually turning cold.

But since you've gotten involved with this Soul Beast, I have no choice but to act for the sake of the First Soul Ring for Dong'er's Soul Devouring Spider Emperor Martial Soul.

Back then, it was precisely because A Zhu had suddenly vanished

that Qian Xunji had been forced to take Bibi Dong across the entire Douluo Continent before finally finding another Crypt Spider Emperor with a hundred thousand years of cultivation in some remote nook.

And from the moment Bibi Dong awakened her Martial Soul, Qian Xunji had kept her at his side and taught her.

Naturally, Qian Xunji had also carefully selected her Soul Ring Configuration to be the very best!

Like Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong had refined Whale Rubber and other natural treasures that strengthened the body since childhood, absorbing Soul Rings above her level.

Bibi Dong's Soul Ring Configuration was as follows:

Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red, red!

In Qian Xunji's mind, Bibi Dong was a partner who was very likely to ascend to the Divine Realm with him in the future, so she had to have the best resources.

Her Eighth Soul Ring and Ninth Soul Ring were both at the hundred-thousand-year level.

That meant that, aside from the hundred-thousand-year Soul Devouring Spider Emperor right arm bone, Bibi Dong also had two hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones corresponding to her two great hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings.

Two hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings and three hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones.

That was a full ten Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Skills!

"Once the grand wedding is over, I'll personally take Dong'er to hunt down this big spider in human form."

With a thought from Qian Xunji, a wisp of sacred fire caught the dossier on A Zhu before him, reducing it to ashes in the blink of an eye.

"As for Tang Hao?

If he still plans to have A Zhu sacrifice herself for him, as in the original story, I won't give him the chance."

"Even if Tang Chen comes knocking at my door, I won't be afraid in the slightest."

"Let Clear Sky fall, let the empires burn, let the sects crumble!"

In Qian Xunji's eyes, the supposedly close-knit Upper Three Sects and the two great empires were nothing more than dry bones in a grave.

They weren't worth mentioning.
