Going to Holy Soul Village to Visit Hao Zi

"From now on, you two elders will await Ji'er's orders in the Papal Hall," Qian Daoliu said.

"Hold it, Old Man. Yue Guan and Gui Mei are both Soul Douluo now. Aren't you being too stingy? You can't just fob me off with two Soul Douluo," Qian Xunji said.

"Brat, don't push your luck. It's true that Elders Yue Guan and Gui Mei are Soul Douluo, but they're only one step away from becoming Titled Douluo. Besides, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill they can use together is worth more than an ordinary Titled Douluo," Qian Daoliu said.

"Give me one more Titled Douluo." Qian Xunji held up a finger.

"No. You've already squandered two Titled Douluo from the Papal Hall. Yue Guan and Gui Mei are the last of my tolerance for you. If you keep disgracing me, I might consider making you step down in the future and letting Xue'er take your place."

Qian Xunji: "..."

At the mention of Xue'er, Qian Xunji suddenly wanted to see his Little Cotton Jacket.

"Right, where's Xue'er?" Qian Xunji asked.

"Xue'er? You came at the wrong time. I already took her to absorb her Soul Rings. She's tired and resting now. If you want to see her, come back tomorrow," Qian Daoliu said.

"What did you say? She absorbed Soul Rings?" Qian Xunji said in shock.

"How many years?"

"Her first Soul Ring is 420 years, and her second Soul Ring is 760 years. How about it? The Soul Ring configuration I found for Xue'er is good enough, isn't it?" Qian Daoliu said.

"Good my ass! My Xue'er was born with Level 20 Soul Power, and her physique surpasses that of ordinary Soul Masters, yet you gave her rings like these?" Qian Xunji said furiously. He had just planned to let Qian Renxue use the two Soul Pearls, only for this Wretched Old Man to tell him that Qian Renxue had already absorbed Soul Rings.

In the original story, Qian Renxue clearly had incredible talent, yet her Soul Ring configuration was painfully ordinary. She couldn't compare at all to a cheat like Tang San, whose fourth ring was ten thousand years and sixth ring was one hundred thousand years. A major reason was the influence of this Wretched Old Man.

"Then what else was I supposed to do? Young people shouldn't aim too high. Brat, this is the Soul Ring age standard handed down by our Angel Ancestor. Most Soul Masters who exceed this Soul Ring age limit will explode and die. Ancestral Family Law cannot be changed. Do you understand?" Qian Daoliu said.

"Ancestral Family Law? That only applies to ordinary people. It doesn't work on true geniuses. My 'Good Disciple,' Bibi Dong, had a Thousand Year Soul Ring as the second ring of her Death Spider Emperor. Why was she fine?" Qian Xunji retorted.

"S-So what? Bibi Dong can only be considered an exception. Who knows what would happen if Xue'er absorbed a higher-year Soul Ring? Our Angel Clan waited so long before finally receiving an heir capable of becoming a god. Everything must prioritize stability. Could you bear to let Xue'er explode and die from absorbing a higher-year Soul Ring?" Qian Daoliu said guiltily.

"Forget it. I'm not talking to a Wretched Old Man like you." Qian Xunji looked deeply in the direction of Xue'er's room. Though he dearly wanted to see his daughter, he had something more important to do now.

He needed to go see Hao Zi. Poor Hao Zi had just suffered the pain of losing his wife. As Hao Zi's closest uncle, Qian Xunji had to pay him a visit no matter what.

The next time he saw Xue'er would have to wait until after he met Hao Zi and returned.

He took the two Soul Douluo, Ju Gui, and left the Worship Hall.

Even if Qian Renxue had already absorbed her Soul Rings, it would not affect Qian Xunji much. He had plenty of ways to turn all of Qian Renxue's Soul Rings blood-red.

It was just that the process would definitely consume many Emotion Points.

"Ah, what should I do if I don't have enough Emotion Points? I can only, only, only make Dong Er, Xiao Gang, Hao Zi, and Xiao San suffer a little more!" Qian Xunji said with an apologetic expression.

The two Soul Douluo, Ju Gui, following behind him, were immediately bewildered when they heard the Pope say that.

After returning to the Papal Hall, Bibi Dong had already adjusted her emotions in the basement. She walked up to Qian Xunji and said, "Dong Er greets Teacher."

Though Bibi Dong appeared meek on the surface, her heart was anything but calm. The moment she saw Qian Xunji's face, the resentment she had just suppressed surged up again.

Bibi Dong's resentment +10000

Bibi Dong's resentment +10000

And so on

Qian Xunji's lips curled slightly. Dong Er, you truly are my Good Disciple. As long as I stand before you, Golden Eggs keep rolling in. It seems I'll have to wander around in front of you more often in the future.

"Ahem. Let me introduce you. This is Elder Yue Guan, and this is Elder Gui Mei. From now on, they will be the Papal Hall's two Hall Guardian Douluo," Qian Xunji said.

"Greetings, Elders."

"Yue Guan greets Her Highness, the Saintess."

"Gui Mei greets Her Highness, the Saintess."

After the two sides got acquainted, Yue Guan was currently Level 89, Gui Mei was Level 89, and Bibi Dong was Level 87. Yue Guan and Gui Mei would likely advance to Titled Douluo before Bibi Dong.

Qian Xunji said, "Gui Mei, Yue Guan, Dong Er, I need to leave for a while. During this time, cultivate diligently. When you reach Level 90, do not attach Soul Rings lightly. Wait for my return, understand?"

"Yes, Teacher," Bibi Dong said.

"As you command, Pope Your Majesty," Yue Guan and Gui Mei said.

After giving Yue Guan and Gui Mei their instructions, Qian Xunji suddenly heard the system's voice by his ear.

Ding, Main Quest triggered: Check-in Tang San

Mission requirements: Dear Host, please immediately proceed to Tang San's location. Upon checking in, a Villain Main Quest can be triggered.

Mission reward: One Future Afterimage, one Omnipotent Affection Card

There were Main Quests too? Qian Xunji was stunned. He had thought his system merely allowed him to torment Tang San and the protagonists, collect their Emotion Points, and thereby strengthen himself. He had not expected the system to be capable of issuing missions as well.

Still, this suited him perfectly. Qian Xunji had already planned to visit Hao Zi and his son Xiao San in Holy Soul Village, so this trip would simply kill two birds with one stone.

Next, Qian Xunji directly had Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Bibi Dong enter seclusion, while he immediately set off for Holy Soul Village.

For this journey, Qian Xunji neither took a carriage nor used any means of transport. He simply traveled with his Martial Soul. The Six-Winged Angel's speed had already reached an extreme, while the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel was even more terrifying.

A round trip from Spirit City to Holy Soul Village would take several months by carriage, but Qian Xunji crossed that distance in a single day.

Early the next morning, Qian Xunji descended into Holy Soul Village.
