Qian Renxue Retracted a Bowl of Rice

God Realm.

Bang!

The doors of the Rakshasa God Temple were kicked open with brutal force. The God of Destruction, clad in a purplish-red cloak, strode in with a grim expression.

"Rakshasa, I'm counting to three! Get out here right now, this instant!"

"One..."

Before he could call out "two," the meek Rakshasa God hurried out, lifting the hem of his dark purple skirt as if trying to ingratiate himself. He asked respectfully, "Lord Enforcer, were you looking for me?"

The God of Destruction snorted coldly, the fury in his eyes undisguised. "Explain that little fragment of divine consciousness you left in the mortal world."

"Th-this..." The Rakshasa God hesitated, but recalling the God of Destruction's temperament, he finally said, "Lord Destruction, this truly has nothing to do with me. I already warned that human to leave quickly, but she refused to listen. Besides... I genuinely didn't know she had clashed with the person you chose..."

"Is that so? It had better be." The God of Destruction looked the Rakshasa God up and down. Seeing nothing unusual in his expression, the anger in his eyes faded considerably.

"Rakshasa, I won't stop you from choosing an inheritor, so long as it remains within the rules of the God Realm. But if I catch you using divine power to interfere with the lower realm again..."

"Yes, yes, yes. I won't." The Rakshasa God hurriedly promised. How could he dare provoke the God of Destruction's anger?

The doors closed again, and the Rakshasa God Temple returned to silence. The Rakshasa God collapsed onto his divine throne and wiped the sweat from his face. "Good thing I picked up a few tricks from that woman Qian Luoxia before. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to bluff my way through that..."

With a casual wave, he conjured a black mirror of light and observed Bibi Dong's current state, his head aching. "Tsk... what should I do? Should I lower the difficulty for her?"

"Hmm... this little girl, it's a pity her hatred isn't strong enough yet. But Bibi Dong actually took her as a disciple? Sigh... fellow sufferers in this world..."

When he opened his eyes, he saw an unfamiliar ceiling. Qian Yuxi's head was still throbbing faintly. This was the first time he had suffered such serious injuries, and he had nearly lost his life.

"Hmm... this bed is so comfortable."

He stretched, sat up from the bed, and looked around, only to realize that he was lying in an unfamiliar room.

"Captain, you're awake!" Tuoba Yun rushed in carrying a basket of fruit. She said in relief, "Captain, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Mm, where am I? How long was I unconscious?" Qian Yuxi asked weakly, rubbing his temples.

"This is the highest-level medical ward in Death City. Well, Yuetian and I made the decision on our own and spent a large sum of money to send you here."

Tuoba Yun chuckled awkwardly and scratched her head. "Captain, you've been unconscious for three days already."

"Money isn't a problem. We can earn more. But I was unconscious for that long? By the way, where is Brother Yuetian?" Qian Yuxi frowned and asked again.

"Brother Yuetian went out to buy lunch. Captain, it's noon now, so eat some fruit and rest up first. I'll go check on him." Tuoba Yun hurriedly placed the fruit on the table, then turned and headed out to find Jin Yuetian.

Qian Yuxi quietly took out a piece of fruit and began eating it. Then, as if remembering something, his expression shifted slightly. He touched his Angel Bracelet and sent a thread of Soul Power into it to inspect it.

"Phew... good thing the soul bone is still here. It seems Instructor Jiang kept her word..."

He let out a sigh of relief, and his mood improved considerably.

"Captain!"

Jin Yuetian entered carrying three lunch boxes. The moment Tuoba Yun told him Qian Yuxi was awake, he had rushed right in. "How are you? Feeling better? Does anything still hurt?"

"Thank you, Brother Yuetian. I'm completely fine now." Qian Yuxi nodded slightly and accepted the food box, opening it. "You actually know what flavors I like."

"Hehe, Little White Dragon was more attentive. She was the one who suggested it." Jin Yuetian chuckled and began handing out the boxed meals.

Creak—

The ward door opened once more. Led by Jiang Xiruan, the three instructors stepped inside and approached Qian Yuxi. She asked in a low voice, "How are you?"

Qian Yuxi's face was still visibly pale, but the calmness in his eyes made Jiang Xiruan uncomfortable. She would have preferred for him to make a scene.

Yet his calmness sent a chill through Jiang Xiruan's heart.

"Thank you for your concern, Instructor Jiang. I simply never expected that... Death Camp, one of Spirit Hall's important sites, would so easily allow an intruder to sneak in and attempt to assassinate one of its own disciples."

Qian Yuxi's tone was not forceful, but every word struck straight at the heart, hitting Jiang Xiruan precisely where it hurt.

This was indeed their negligence. Yet she truly could not understand how Bibi Dong had concealed herself so completely, avoiding the eyes of every instructor before slipping into the training forest.

"Focus on recovering first. Regarding this matter... all the instructors and I will certainly give you an explanation." Jiang Xiruan forcibly suppressed the frustration in her heart, left behind five or six bottles of medicine, then turned and led the other instructors out.

Qian Yuxi watched them leave, a faint curve appearing at the corner of his lips. "Bibi Dong, Bibi Dong... I really have to thank you..."

"Captain, what are you smiling about?" Tuoba Yun asked in confusion.

"For this attack on me, the instructors bear full responsibility for their negligence. Do you think they'll really think a few bottles of medicine are enough to settle this?"

Qian Yuxi smiled faintly and continued, "I'm sure Instructor Jiang and the others know Brother Yuetian's and my backgrounds. Think about it. If she doesn't find a way to keep us quiet, and this reaches our families' ears... do you think she can still remain the Chief Instructor of Death Camp?"

"Oh! Captain, you mean—" Jin Yuetian suddenly understood, though he did not finish his sentence.

"Hohohoho..."

Spirit City, Worship Hall.

Her Royal Highness, the Saintess was already having lunch. A smile occasionally appeared on her lovely face, though it carried a hint of longing.

Whoosh, whoosh...

Golden petals drifted down. This time, the one who had come to deliver a message was Chrysanthemum Douluo, Moon Douluo.

"Young Master, something has happened!" His tone was hurried, carrying a trace of unease.

Qian Renxue frowned slightly, set down her chopsticks, and asked, "Bibi Dong?"

"Exactly." Moon Douluo hurriedly nodded. "Three nights ago, Bibi Dong fled to Death Camp, where our Spirit Hall trains children, and launched a sneak attack on your... younger brother, Qian Yuxi. He is still unconscious."

"What?!" Qian Renxue flew into a rage and slammed the porcelain bowl in her hand, still half full of rice, upside down onto the table.

"Bibi Dong is nothing but a traitor! Where did she get the nerve to try to assassinate my Little Xi?!"

Moon Douluo lowered himself humbly. "Saintess... perhaps the Rakshasa God helped her in secret."

At that reminder, Her Royal Highness, the Saintess calmed down considerably. After swallowing the food in her mouth, she nodded lightly. "Then it's no surprise... no surprise at all. If the Rakshasa God could save her once, there's no reason he couldn't help her a second time."

"Rest assured, Your Royal Highness. It is said that during Little Young Master's battle with Bibi Dong, he suddenly unleashed an exceptionally powerful force and severely wounded her on his own. Only then did he collapse into unconsciousness from exhaustion."

Moon Douluo continued, "However, I fear that if Bibi Dong makes a return attack..."

Qian Renxue fell silent for a moment, then raised her hand slightly. "Dispatch a Spirit Douluo to secretly protect Little Xi around the clock until he returns."

"Saintess, then what should we do about capturing Bibi Dong?"

Letting out a soft breath, Her Royal Highness, the Saintess lifted the porcelain bowl from the table and used her chopsticks to push the spilled food back inside. "Yesterday, your good partner reported that those pursuing Bibi Dong have already suffered losses amounting to one-tenth of their numbers. Now Little Xi has seriously wounded her as well. We might as well change strategies. Set ambushes at every checkpoint throughout Heaven Dou and the Star Luo Empire, and wait for her to make a move. Report my idea to Grandfather."

"Yes!" Moon Douluo accepted the order and withdrew.

"Little Xi, Sister will always wait for you to come back!" Qian Renxue murmured, an unusual glimmer shining in her beautiful eyes.
