This Is All Qian Xunji's Fault

Flender and Yu Xiaogang, the two men who had disrupted the Pope's wedding, were thrown out.

Flender gritted his teeth and said, "Just as I thought. Damn Qian Xunji."

After cursing Qian Xunji countless times, Flender saw Xiao Gang crouching off to the side.

Flender walked over to Yu Xiaogang and found him squatting in a corner, using a twig to draw meaningless circles on the ground. Frowning, he asked, "Xiao Gang, what are you doing? Our top priority should be figuring out how to save Sister Er Long from this pit of fire."

"Save her?" Yu Xiaogang acted as if he had heard the greatest joke in the world. He gave a bitter smile. "Flender, how am I supposed to save her? You're highly talented, and your future is promising. If things develop normally, you'll become a Titled Douluo. But me? Me? I'm just a level twenty-nine piece of trash."

"Why did Liu Erlong do that just now? Obviously, Qian Xunji left people behind to watch her after he left. We're no match for Spirit Hall at all."

"What can I do? I'm in pain too! Ah—ah—ah—!" Yu Xiaogang roared at Flender three times in fury, then turned around and ran off while wiping away his tears.

Flender stared blankly in the direction Yu Xiaogang had fled, shouting, "But we can't just watch Er Long get pushed into a pit of fire!"

Qian Xunji took the reward he had drawn from the system and entered Angel Hall.

He went straight to Qian Renxue's room. Opening the door, he saw a golden-haired little girl in a Palace Dress sitting in a chair, lost in thought. Qian Xunji flashed behind Qian Renxue and reached out to stroke her smooth golden hair, soft as silk.

Qian Renxue turned around and looked at her father with a complicated expression. "Dad, you came to see Xue'er."

Qian Xunji was no longer the Qian Xunji he had once been, so there was none of the unease reflected in his daughter's eyes.

He walked directly in front of Qian Renxue, stroked her soft golden hair, and said, "Did Xue'er miss Dad?"

"I did," Qian Renxue said sweetly.

"I heard your Grandpa took you to obtain two Soul Rings some time ago. How about it? Can Dad have a look?" Qian Xunji asked.

"Mm, okay." Qian Renxue swept away the negative emotions in her heart and tried summoning her two Soul Rings. Looking at the two bright yellow Soul Rings, she smiled. "Dad, what do you think? These are the two Soul Rings Grandpa prepared for me."

The corner of Qian Xunji's mouth twitched slightly. They really were the standard two yellow Soul Rings.

"Xue'er, do you want black Soul Rings?" Qian Xunji asked.

Qian Renxue tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Dad, Grandpa said I can only obtain another Soul Ring once I reach level thirty. And black Soul Rings are Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings. I can only absorb them after reaching level fifty. Xue'er can't absorb them yet."

"Come on, Dad will show you a magic trick." Qian Xunji took out two cards and used one of them. Under Qian Renxue's astonished gaze, a black Soul Ring condensed into existence, then slowly merged into her first Soul Ring.

Before Qian Renxue's shocked eyes, the two Soul Rings fused together. Her Soul Power, originally at level twenty-five, instantly rose to level twenty-eight because of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. At the same time, Qian Renxue felt her Soul Power attributes, physical body, spiritual power, and other overall qualities increase severalfold.

The advantages of higher Soul Ring age were, first, increased power for Soul Skills; second, greater Soul Power reserves; and third, increased spiritual power and physical strength, preparing one to obtain higher-aged Soul Rings at the next level. Without Xiao Wu's wife Soul Ring, Tang San could forget about absorbing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as his seventh Soul Ring. Dream on!

"This..." Qian Renxue did not know what to say for a moment. This completely shattered the worldview Qian Daoliu had built for her.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Dad's magic trick isn't over yet." After saying that, Qian Xunji used another Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. It merged into Qian Renxue's Soul Ring once again.

Qian Renxue's Soul Power, physical body, spiritual power, and other attributes rose once more. This time, because she had absorbed the Soul Ring, her level directly rose to thirty.

Now, Qian Renxue had gone from possessing two Hundred Year Soul Rings to having two earth-shattering Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings because of Qian Xunji. Only after doing all this was Qian Xunji satisfied.

This is the kind of setup my daughter deserves.

Qian Xunji told Qian Renxue, "For now, don't obtain your third Soul Ring. First stabilize your realm. Also, don't let your Grandpa find out that you've reached level thirty. Even if he does find out, don't ask for a Soul Ring so quickly. I'll come find you again after some time and help you obtain your third Soul Ring."

"Okay, Dad."

After giving these instructions, Qian Xunji played with his daughter for a while before leaving.

When he left, he did not notice the complicated look in his daughter's eyes.

People of the Douluo Continent generally matured early, especially someone like Qian Renxue, who had received elite education since childhood. Her worldview had already begun to take shape.

As Qian Renxue watched Qian Xunji's retreating figure, a complicated emotion flashed through her eyes. She found it hard to imagine that the father she had always seen as tall and imposing would do such a thing.

The young Qian Renxue was still unable to determine who was right and who was wrong.

Qian Renxue summoned her martial soul and fell into deep thought as she looked at her first two Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.

At Papal Hall, Qian Xunji changed into formal attire and examined his handsome reflection in a full-length mirror. Satisfied, he asked, "Good Disciple, what do you think of your master now?"

"Dressed like a dog," Bibi Dong said flatly.

Qian Xunji was not angered. After straightening his clothes, he led the wedding procession away.

Bibi Dong watched Qian Xunji's departing figure, her eyes sinking into thought.

The woman Qian Xunji was going to marry this time was Liu Erlong. No, she should be called Yu Erlong. From the limited intelligence Bibi Dong had gathered, Yu Erlong, Xiao Gang, and a man named Flender had formed the Golden Iron Triangle together.

Before, Bibi Dong had not realized there was anything wrong with that. But after Qian Xunji's reminder last time, worry began to grow in her heart.

Could it be that I endured humiliation for Xiao Gang all these years...

Not only does Xiao Gang not know how good I've been to him, he even has someone else outside? Back then, we made vows of eternal love. You said you would only love me for the rest of your life. Were those words all bullshit?

Then again...

My body has already been defiled by that beast Qian Xunji. I'm the one who isn't worthy of you, Xiao Gang!

This is all Qian Xunji's fault, that beast.

The darkness in Bibi Dong's heart grew deeper and deeper.
