Qian Ren Shang's Decision: "I'll Protect This Silver-Haired Girl for the Rest of My Life!"

Qian Ren Shang's Decision: "I'll Protect This Silver-Haired Girl for the Rest of My Life!"

That day, Qian Ren Shang spent an almost perfect day. It even felt unreal to him, like a dream.

Di Tian kept him for a meal, Xiong Jun did too, and so did Ten Thousand Demons King. Even the least noticeable Scarlet King did... after making the rounds, Qian Ren Shang's belly was practically stuffed round.

Not only that, he could clearly feel that their attitude toward him had become much kinder.

At noon, the blazing sun poured down, as if it meant to roast the earth itself.

"Kid, can you swim?" Xiong Jun shouted loudly at Qian Ren Shang, bare-chested. Qian Ren Shang hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he could not swim.

"I can't," he said a little nervously.

"It's fine, I'll teach you!" Xiong Jun warmly pulled Qian Ren Shang into the water and let him ride on his broad back. Qian Ren Shang hugged Xiong Jun tightly, feeling the warmth and strength coming from his body. He lay on Xiong Jun's body, enjoying this unique happiness, his heart filled with joy.

In the afternoon, Scarlet King called Qian Ren Shang to go hunting together. Qian Ren Shang followed along in high spirits, running with them through the mountains and forests, chasing prey. Their laughter and cheers never stopped as they freely enjoyed the fun of the hunt.

After that, they excitedly piled up castles too, using sand and stones to build a dream world that belonged to them. Qian Ren Shang lost himself in it, forgetting all his worries.

Ten Thousand Demons King invited Qian Ren Shang over to help with carpentry, building houses together and helping everyone renovate tree holes. Qian Ren Shang's eyes widened as he watched Ten Thousand Demons King display almost miraculous skill, and he could not help but marvel. Those exquisite crafts dazzled Qian Ren Shang, and he was deeply won over by Ten Thousand Demons King's skill.

As night fell, Di Tian, who had always seemed incomparably cold, actually took the initiative to find Qian Ren Shang.

"Little guy, do you want to experience the feeling of flying?" There was a trace of nearly imperceptible gentleness in Di Tian's voice.

"Yes!" Qian Ren Shang answered without hesitation.

"Then fine, come up." Di Tian extended one hand, gently supporting Qian Ren Shang's small body, then shot fiercely into the sky, flying straight beyond the clouds.

Qian Ren Shang's eyes widened. His innocent eyes watched the view below grow smaller bit by bit, and then he arrived in the sky. He cried out excitedly, as if he had discovered a brand-new world.

All around were blue sky and white clouds, along with some brightly colored little birds dancing joyfully in flight.

So this is what it's like above the sky? Qian Ren Shang thought innocently, his heart filled with curiosity and surprise.

Only when they returned to Gu Yuena's low little tree hole did Qian Ren Shang lie on the bed, still feeling that it was so unreal.

"Is this a dream? If it is... I hope I never wake up for the rest of my life."

Qian Ren Shang looked at the ceiling and smiled. Beside him, a silver-haired young girl yawned, glanced at Qian Ren Shang, and thought of everything that would happen later.

Gu Yuena deliberately spoke with a cold face.

"This isn't a dream..."

"But... why is everyone so good to me? A child like me... am I worth it?"

"Why wouldn't you be? You're kind and brave, and you do your utmost to treat every person well."

Hearing this, Gu Yuena could not quite keep it together. The frost faded from her pretty face, replaced by satisfied gentleness.

"Thank you... Na Na, Older Sister!"

"Why are you thanking me? It's not my credit."

Qian Ren Shang kept his big eyes open and looked at Gu Yuena just like that, as if he wanted to carve her appearance firmly into his mind.

Qian Ren Shang was not stupid. On the contrary, he was very smart. He knew that Gu Yuena's status here was very high, and the reason all of this had happened was probably this girl.

So Qian Ren Shang had to firmly remember her appearance. In the future, he would definitely protect her, guard her, and even if it cost him his life, he would have no regrets!

Spirit Hall!

Spirit Hall, as the number one force on the continent, had been in great chaos during this period because a major event had occurred. The current pope of Spirit Hall, Qian Xun Ji, was dead!

This news was like a thunderclap that shook heaven and earth, causing the entire Spirit Hall to fall into panic and chaos. And beneath this chaos, some people with ulterior motives also began quietly poking their heads out.

However, at this moment, an old man who looked perfectly ordinary struck like lightning. He came before one person after another who wanted to take advantage of Spirit Hall's chaos to stir up trouble, eliminating them one by one.

He suppressed the rebellion with absolute strength, allowing Spirit Hall to slowly return to calm and await the next transfer of power.

Spirit Hall, Pope's Mausoleum.

In this solemn and dignified place, an old man with a head full of white hair stood quietly. His figure looked slightly stooped, but that resolute spine was still straight. His gaze fixed on the tombstone ahead, his eyes revealing endless sorrow and grief.

His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, yet could not speak. His hands were clenched tightly into fists, his nails sinking deep into his palms, revealing the pain buried deep in his heart.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze. The surroundings were completely silent, with only the rustle of a light breeze passing through the leaves. The old man's figure appeared especially lonely and desolate in this stillness.

He silently watched over the tombstone, as if he wanted to pour all his longing and sorrow into this silent tombstone.

In the end, he spoke.

"Xun Ji... I never thought that in the end, you would still be gone. I once told you that Bibi Dong was no good woman, yet you insisted on provoking her. No one could persuade you otherwise."

"Sigh... what a sin, what a sin!"

The old man was none other than Spirit Hall's Great Enshrinement, Qian Daoliu, known as Sky Invincible. At the same time, he was also Qian Xun Ji's father.

During this time, he had been rushing about constantly for Spirit Hall's affairs. In truth, he had seen that Bibi Dong harbored ill intent toward Qian Xun Ji, but Qian Xun Ji had not allowed him to interfere. His mistake... he would bear it himself.

In the end, it had led to this outcome. Qian Daoliu, who had spent his life emphasizing having no guilt before his own heart, did not know what to say either.

"Fortunately, you still left behind two children, Xiao Shang and Xiao Xue... Although they are still young, if this old man devotes everything to training them, I should be able to make them grasp Spirit Hall's authority sooner."

Qian Daoliu held his forehead and smiled. Luckily, Qian Daoliu still had two children left in the world; otherwise, it would truly have been difficult.

Speaking of those two children, because he had agreed to Bibi Dong's three-year pact, Qian Daoliu had not interfered in the slightest with any of the matters there over these three years. This could also be considered one of his compensations for his guilt.

After all, Qian Xun Ji, as his son, had hurt Bibi Dong.

It was just that he had heard Qian Xun Ji say those two children were both very good, especially the boy, who was even more likable.

"It's time to go see those two children. I was just preparing to bring the two of them back and train them."

Qian Daoliu had truly been too busy with Spirit Hall during this time. The three-year pact had actually already ended a while ago, but he had never gone, dragging it out until now.

Thinking that he would soon be able to see those two adorable grandchildren, his grandson and granddaughter, some of the sadness brought by Qian Xun Ji's death was diluted.

Without the slightest hesitation!

Qian Daoliu headed straight for Spirit Hall's sleeping palace.
