The Sky Screen Livestream: What Do You Mean, Spirit Hall Was Evil?

However, Lin Bai discovered that the Qian Renxue he had met was not the future Angel God, but her six-year-old self.

After comforting Qian Renxue, who had been shedding little pearls of tears because she couldn't find her home, Lin Bai took her back to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

He also warned her again and again never to tell anyone her true identity.

Fortunately, though Qian Renxue had once held an exalted status, she was very innocent by nature.

On top of that, the old steward of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion had never had children of his own, so he was delighted to suddenly have two more children around.

And so, Qian Renxue began a peaceful, stable life at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye.

The two little girls had now grown into flower buds on the verge of blooming.

Yet as Qian Renxue and Huo Yutong grew older, the two girls became more and more attached to Lin Bai.

It really gave him something of a headache...

Fortunately, after all these years, Lin Bai had long since trained himself into a qualified master of keeping things balanced.

"Um..."

Lin Bai cleared his throat and said with a serious expression,

"I think grilled fish and porridge taste better together."

"So I'll try them both at once."

Hearing Lin Bai's attempt to paper things over, Qian Renxue and Huo Yutong exchanged a glance.

Then the two girls pulled faces at him together.

"Bleh!"

"I knew Brother Xiao Bai would do this again!"

Despite saying that, Qian Renxue still brought the bowl of lotus seed porridge over to Lin Bai.

She gently blew on the steaming spoonful of porridge and held it up to his mouth.

"Brother Xiao Bai, come try the porridge I made."

Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes were full of anticipation.

"I asked the auntie who cooks for the mansion for advice, and it took me a lot of effort to make it!"

Spirit City, the Pope's Palace.

Pope Bibi Dong, dressed in a magnificent robe, had come to the square outside the Pope's Palace and was looking toward the sky screen.

Following behind her were two elders of Spirit Hall.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.

The moment Bibi Dong saw Qian Renxue appear on the sky screen, her hand tightened around her scepter.

"Xiao Xue..."

An incomparably complicated light flickered in her eyes.

Bibi Dong's heart was full of resentment and hatred for Qian Xunji, the man who had defiled her.

She had even taken it out on her daughter Qian Renxue, never once caring for her.

But whenever she woke from a dream in the dead of night, she understood in her heart that Qian Renxue was innocent.

Although Bibi Dong had never mentioned it on the surface over the years, she had always cooperated with Qian Daoliu's efforts.

She had mobilized Spirit Hall's forces on a massive scale to search the Douluo Continent for Qian Renxue.

She had simply never imagined that when she saw her daughter again, it would be on the sky screen.

"Who would have thought the Great Enshrined's precious granddaughter, whom he searched for over five whole years, had actually crossed over to a parallel world?"

Gui Mei looked at the image on the sky screen and rubbed his chin.

"And the dignified young mistress of Spirit Hall is actually acting so meek and obedient before some green kid, even feeding him porridge herself..."

Meanwhile, Yue Guan held his fingers in an orchid gesture, his eyes fixed on the bowl of black lotus seed porridge on the sky screen.

"Old Ghost, isn't lotus seed porridge supposed to be snow-white? How come that bowl is blacker than sesame paste?"

"If that kid takes a mouthful, won't he drop dead from the poison?"

The images on the sky screen continued to play.

Just as Qian Renxue fed Lin Bai the porridge, Huo Yutong refused to be outdone.

She held the fish she had grilled herself, crisp and fragrant and glistening with oil, up to Lin Bai's mouth.

"Brother Xiao Bai, have a bite of grilled fish first to line your stomach!"

Unable to refuse such warm hospitality, Lin Bai first took a bite of the fish.

His eyes lit up as soon as the fish entered his mouth.

Huo Yutong's cooking skills naturally went without saying.

The skin of the fish was exceptionally crisp, while the meat inside was full of juices and wonderfully fragrant.

But before he could swallow the fish in his mouth, Qian Renxue's spoon had already reached his lips as well.

Lin Bai instinctively took a mouthful of lotus seed porridge.

But in the next instant,

His facial muscles began twisting wildly.

An extraordinarily complicated light flickered in Lin Bai's eyes, a mixture of pain and doubt about life itself, coupled with the need to forcibly endure it.

"How is it? How is it? Does it taste good?"

Qian Renxue asked, her face full of anticipation.

Lin Bai said nothing, though the muscles in his face continued to twitch.

Seeing him like this, Huo Yutong took the spoon in some confusion and carefully tried a mouthful of the lotus seed porridge.

The next instant, she choked and began coughing.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"Qian Renxue, did you forget to remove the lotus seed cores... It's so bitter!!!"

Hearing Huo Yutong, Qian Renxue's eyes widened in surprise.

"Huh? You're supposed to remove the cores from lotus seeds?"

But when she saw Lin Bai's slightly green complexion, the anticipation in her eyes instantly turned to a mist of tears.

"I'm sorry, Brother Xiao Bai. I didn't know..."

However, just then,

Lin Bai forced himself to swallow every last bit of the food in his mouth, which was so bitter it had gone numb.

Then he gave Qian Renxue an extraordinarily gentle smile.

"It's all right, Xiao Xue. I've had a bit too much internal heat these past few days anyway, and lotus seed cores help clear it."

"You're so thoughtful!"

The next instant, Lin Bai picked up the lotus seed porridge and snatched up the grilled fish, then began sweeping through them like a whirlwind scattering clouds.

Before long, he had eaten every last bit of the grilled fish and lotus seed porridge on the table.

But everyone watching the sky screen could clearly see

that the muscles in Lin Bai's face were still twitching unnaturally as he drank the porridge.

"Hiss..."

In the square outside the Pope's Palace, Yue Guan couldn't help rubbing the goosebumps that had risen on his arm.

"That kid really is ruthless!"

"To pick up girls, he's willing to swallow any bitterness!"

Even through the sky screen, that bowl of porridge seemed to give off a bitter taste.

Yet the kid had managed to eat it all without a change of expression, and had even coaxed Qian Renxue until her heart was bursting with joy.

A role model for us all!

Then, in the image on the sky screen, Lin Bai suddenly remembered something.

He said to Qian Renxue,

"Oh, right, Xiao Xue."

"I bought you a present at an auction house near Jialing Pass in the Heavenly Soul Empire. I'll give it to you when the time comes."

"Jialing Pass?"

Qian Renxue blinked in some confusion.

But before Lin Bai could speak, Huo Yutong answered without thinking.

"You don't even know that, Xiao Xue? Jialing Pass is really famous!"

"Ten thousand years ago, Sea God Tang San killed two evil gods of Spirit Hall in the decisive battle at Jialing Pass!"

"Those two evil gods were Rakshasa God Bibi Dong and Angel God Qian Renxue!"

"After that, the evil force Spirit Hall, which had endured for tens of thousands of years, was destroyed too!"

"But now that I think about it, that Angel God had the same name as you, and her Martial Soul was a Six-Winged Angel too!"
