Winning Over the Goddess: Target Qian Renxue! Please Recommend and Bookmark

"Xiaoxue, what's wrong?" Qian Daoliu, the First Offering, asked.

Qian Daoliu had always doted on his precious granddaughter. Now that she possessed Innate Full Soul Power, bringing even more glory to him, he loved her all the more.

"Grandpa, I heard someone speaking ill of me." Qian Renxue pouted and spoke in a coquettish tone, looking like a wronged child complaining to an elder. She looked so pitiful that it made people's hearts ache.

"We didn't hear anything," Qian Daoliu said calmly.

Qian Daoliu gently stroked Qian Renxue's head. "Silly child, you must be exhausted from awakening your Spirit and are hearing things."

"But Grandpa, I've already heard it twice."

"Spirit awakening often comes with a nascent Inner Demon. As you cultivate in the future, the Inner Demon will gradually fade away. Perhaps because your Innate Soul Power is already level twenty, your Inner Demon appeared early as well."

Qian Renxue nodded. "Mm, Grandpa, I understand. Xue'er will be leaving now."

This little girl was not only beautiful, but when she acted cute, she was utterly irresistible. If I married her as my little wife someday, I probably wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Little wife?"

Could the Inner Demon be speaking? Damn it, how could I have such an Inner Demon?

Qian Renxue's pretty face instantly heated up, and a blush spread across it. She walked down from the platform.

"Next, Chu Fan."

Finally, it was his turn. Chu Fan stepped forward and approached the Offering in charge of Spirit awakening.

Chu Fan wore a simple white robe, his hair tied up with a bamboo hairpin. He carried a woody fragrance unlike orchid or musk.

His features were sharply defined as if carved, and his angular face was exceptionally handsome. He appeared carefree and unruly on the surface, but the occasional sharp glint in his eyes made others wary of underestimating him.

His jet-black hair was thick and lush, while beneath his sword-like brows sat a pair of narrow peach blossom eyes filled with affection, enough to make anyone fall for him if they were not careful.

His pupils were lively and captivating like crystal beads. His nose was high and straight, and his perfectly shaped red lips curled into a dazzling smile.

"Chu Fan is so handsome!"

"Oh my God, he's so handsome. I never thought someone this refined and beautiful really existed."

"He's so handsome, so his Spirit must be powerful too, right?"

The girls below cast admiring looks at him, their faces full of infatuation.

Qian Renxue, who had just stepped down, happened to brush past Chu Fan. She could not help but glance at him a few more times.

Watching Chu Fan prepare for his Spirit awakening, Qian Renxue asked curiously, "What kind of Spirit will he awaken?"

Chu Fan walked forward step by step.

He slowly arrived before that Offering.

Like everyone else, Chu Fan carefully sensed the golden light and began awakening his Spirit. The golden pillar of light shone upon his fair skin, making him look especially striking.

Then—

Green light burst from Chu Fan's palm, incomparably dazzling.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes widened as they stared fixedly at Chu Fan's hand.

"This aura? Could it be..." Qian Daoliu stared at Chu Fan in surprise and muttered, "Could it be a top-tier Spirit?"

The green light gradually faded, revealing a lotus flower in Chu Fan's left hand. Aside from being elegant and untainted, with a faint green glow, the lotus had nothing remarkable about it.

"Chu Fan, Lotus Spirit!" The Offering's voice echoed through the hall. It remained spirited, yet carried a trace of regret.

"Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter! A man actually awakened a woman's Spirit—and it's a useless lotus at that." Mocking laughter immediately rang out through the hall.

"Exactly. I thought that green light would mean he had awakened a top-tier Spirit like Qian Renxue. Looks alone really are useless. Some things are decided from birth."

Wave after wave of laughter rose from below the platform.

"A Lotus Spirit? I've never heard of such a thing. What a pity. Other than making him look good, it's completely useless."

"That green light even made me sense a trace of a top-tier Spirit's aura. It must have been the residual aura from Xiaoxue's Spirit earlier."

Qian Daoliu followed up, "A Spirit is either inherited from one's father or mother. Only a few undergo mutations and become mutated Spirits. If ordinary people could awaken top-tier Spirits, the great sects would have vanished long ago."

Qian Daoliu glanced proudly at Qian Renxue below the platform and continued, "In other words, ordinary people cannot possess top-tier Spirits. A Lotus Spirit is destined never to amount to much."

Heh, idiots. What a bunch of ignorant fools. This is the Chaos Green Lotus, a God-Tier Spirit. Still, it's better that they can't recognize it. That way, I can hide my strength.

Chu Fan thought to himself.

Suddenly, Qian Renxue was startled. Her eyes widened as she stared intently at Chu Fan.

"This isn't an Inner Demon. It's the voice in that man's heart. But why is he speaking inside my mind?"

Could it be that I can hear his thoughts?

"Then all those filthy words earlier must have come from him." Qian Renxue stomped her foot in fury, gritting her teeth as she cursed inwardly, "Kid, just wait until I deal with you. You think my innate level-twenty Soul Power is useless? Once I obtain a soul ring and become a Soul Master, I'll make you regret it."

"Enough. Put away your Spirit. Now let's test your Soul Power Level." The Offering sighed.

"Testing Soul Power!"

Chu Fan froze where he stood.

What if they detect my level-ninety-nine Soul Power? Wouldn't I lose the reward?

No, I can't reveal my strength. But if it's too low, Spirit Hall might throw me out.

Got it. I'll suppress my Soul Power to level eight. It's barely enough to pass; I won't draw attention for being too outstanding, but I also won't be kicked out for being too weak.

"Pah, you little braggart. Innate level-ninety-nine? What an absurd fantasy." Qian Renxue clenched her fists, breathing heavily in rage.

Looking at the light radiating from the Soul Power orb, the Offering said, "Chu Fan, Soul Power level eight."

"It really is level eight! Could he really control his Soul Power at level eight? Could he truly have Innate level-ninety-nine Soul Power?" After her initial shock, Qian Renxue shook her head. "Impossible. It must be a coincidence."

"Yes, a coincidence. It must be a coincidence. No one can possess Innate level-ninety-nine Soul Power. Grandpa only reached level ninety-nine after so many years of cultivation, so that brat is just bragging."

After Chu Fan, more than a dozen children awakened their Spirits, but all were rather unremarkable. No especially outstanding Spirits appeared.

"This year's Spirit awakening ceremony has concluded. Next, we will divide everyone into groups." With the announcement from the Offering conducting the Spirit awakenings, the moment everyone cared about most had arrived.

Quite a few disciples discussed among themselves. If a mentor took a liking to them and allowed them to stay at Spirit Hall to cultivate, their future would surely be bright. If they were fortunate enough to catch an Offering's eye, their family would be honored for generations.

"I'll choose only one: my Xiaoxue." Qian Daoliu, the First Offering, was the first to state his choice.

"Luo Feng, Shi Yi, you two will come with me," the Second Worship said as he stepped forward second and selected several people. Afterward, the Third Offering, Fourth Offering, and the others also chose several relatively outstanding disciples.

After the Offerings finished choosing, it was Spirit Hall's Soul Engineers' turn.

A short while later, only one person remained in the hall. From the Offerings to the Soul Engineers, not a single person had chosen him.

That person was Chu Fan, who possessed the Chaos Green Lotus. Of course, no one knew how extraordinary Chu Fan's Spirit was. They merely regarded it as the most ordinary and worthless lotus.

Watching the disciples around him be called away one after another, leaving only himself behind, Chu Fan cursed inwardly.

Damn, are these old geezers blind? Are they afraid my handsomeness will make them feel inferior?

"Pah, his skin really is thick. No wonder he's so shameless." Qian Renxue looked at him with disgust. She had to find a way to teach him a proper lesson. Whenever she thought of words like "little wife" and "little girl," rage surged within her.

"If he were merely expelled from Spirit Hall, wouldn't that be letting him off too easily? But I can't tell Grandpa either. After all, those words are the brat's inner thoughts, and only I can hear them. No one would believe me if I said it. Besides, I can't possibly say such things."

Qian Renxue racked her brains. If she wanted to teach him a lesson whenever she pleased, they would need to be together often. As long as he made a mistake, she would have a reason to punish him. Sigh, I've got it. I'll have him become my Study Partner. Then I can teach him a lesson openly and legitimately.

Just as the Offering was about to announce that Chu Fan would be expelled from Spirit Hall, a gentle voice rang out.

"Grandpa, why not let him be my Study Partner?"

At once—

The entire hall was stunned into silence. Everyone turned toward Chu Fan, their faces filled with disbelief.
