Disappointed, Qian Ren Shang Resolves to Leave! Qian Xun Ji Is Unexpectedly Gravely Injured!

"Fine, I'll go... you think I wanted to stay here?"

"This place stinks and it's filthy... it isn't fit for people to live in at all. Only you belong here!!"

Qian Ren Xue cursed in angry embarrassment, while Qian Ren Shang remained expressionless, too lazy to argue.

Still fuming, Qian Ren Xue spun around and left. As she passed a water bucket, she kicked it over outright, instantly leaving the room in a complete mess.

Only then did Qian Ren Xue leave as if she had won a battle!

Qian Ren Shang just stood there, watching Qian Ren Xue's departing back. The door slowly closed... and a layer of shadow gradually enveloped him.

"Heh..."

Qian Ren Shang gave a bitter laugh and said nothing. At this moment, his heart was frighteningly calm. In the past, he would have panicked because Qian Ren Xue was angry.

But now... it seemed that was all there was to it!

Because the current Qian Ren Shang was already planning how to leave this heartbreaking city. He did not know where he would go... as long as it was farther and farther away from here!

Meanwhile!

After Qian Ren Xue returned to her little room, she smashed things at random to vent her anger. She could not understand how Qian Ren Shang dared—how he dared treat her with that attitude!

"He's pretending... he must be pretending. That guy used to lick my boots and Mother's so shamelessly, but now he's actually acting like he doesn't care... what is that supposed to mean?"

"Is he playing hard to get?"

Qian Ren Xue had heard adults explain what that idiom meant. She thought it over carefully... and felt she must have guessed right. Qian Ren Shang was playing hard to get.

At that thought!

The corners of Qian Ren Xue's mouth immediately pulled into a playful smile. Playing hard to get, was he? Haha... then let's see who gets anxious first.

Hehe...

Qian Ren Xue laughed smugly, and even ran off to tell Bibi Dong about her discovery.

Over on this side, Bibi Dong had still been feeling the tiniest trace of guilt over the disappointed look in Qian Ren Shang's eyes earlier. At this moment, after hearing Qian Ren Xue's analysis,

Bibi Dong instantly felt enlightened.

"So that's it... I didn't expect that I would see things less clearly than a child like you."

An icy smile returned to Bibi Dong's face. Clearly, she truly believed Qian Ren Xue's explanation.

"Hehe... I didn't expect that child's mind to be so deep. As expected of someone who looks so much like that beast."

"Playing hard to get... what a fine game of playing hard to get. You like pretending to be cold, pretending not to care, do you... good, good, good..."

Bibi Dong sneered three times, and the trace of guilt she had felt toward Qian Ren Shang instantly vanished into smoke.

She picked Qian Ren Xue up and looked at her with satisfaction.

"You did very well... Xiao Xue. Mom takes back what she said before. You can treat Qian Ren Shang the way you did before... you can even go further!!"

"Okay!"

Qian Ren Xue hugged Bibi Dong tightly. She only wanted Maternal Love. If that stinky little brother did not want it, then so be it!

And so!

In the days that followed, Bibi Dong and Qian Ren Xue treated Qian Ren Shang even worse, almost targeting him at every turn!

In the past, the three of them would at least eat together once a week, but even that was canceled outright. Not only did Qian Ren Shang have to clean his own room, he also had to clean Qian Ren Xue's and Bibi Dong's rooms, and no one else was allowed to help!

After this whole arrangement!

Qian Ren Shang basically had to get up at the crack of dawn every day, then begin fetching water... it was hard to imagine that a child just over two years old had more work to do than those maids.

"My lady... this is too cruel. Even if you don't like this child, he's still your own flesh and blood."

Looking at Qian Ren Shang, whose face was covered in sweat from exhaustion, Aunt Mei's heart ached.

She had even wanted to directly expose how Bibi Dong was abusing Qian Ren Shang, but when she thought of the consequences that might be brought about by it, possibly causing her family outside to suffer utter disaster... she could only suppress the impulse in her heart.

"Qian Ren Shang... Mom said your cleaning yesterday wasn't clean enough, so today you're punished with no food. You can only drink porridge... do you understand?"

Qian Ren Xue once again came over in a bossy manner, standing before Qian Ren Shang, whose whole body was drenched in sweat from work.

Hearing this, Qian Ren Shang raised his head and looked at the room he had nearly wiped until not a speck of dust remained...

"Okay!"

Qian Ren Shang did not argue and merely answered calmly. That attitude left Qian Ren Xue feeling very powerless.

Why was this guy still acting like this? Wasn't he supposed to get angry?

"Then you don't get porridge either! Go hungry!!"

Qian Ren Xue grew frantic, but Qian Ren Shang remained expressionless.

"Okay!"

"Still saying okay... you don't need to eat tomorrow either. I said so."

Qian Ren Xue snapped, her fine brows drawn down. She did not look like a child at all.

"Is there anything else? Say it all at once... Older Sister, I'm very busy right now."

Qian Ren Shang replied coldly. With the System's support, to be honest, not eating was not much of a problem for him now. The rewards the System had given him over the years had actually made his physical constitution far superior to ordinary people.

Otherwise, he really would have starved to death long ago!!

"Damn it... damn it..."

In the end, Qian Ren Xue still stormed off angrily, her two short little legs stomping hard on the ground as if venting.

Aunt Mei, who had watched the conflict between the siblings from beginning to end, sighed helplessly.

They were both blood siblings, so why was the gap between their personalities so huge?

One was gentle and refined, held goodwill toward everyone, and was even very polite toward servants like them.

The other, however, was full of pride and looked down on almost everyone except Bibi Dong, treating servants like them as if they were objects.

"Young Master... do you need help?"

At that thought, the kind Aunt Mei looked firmly toward Qian Ren Shang. She decided to violate the rules just a tiny bit. She really could not bear to watch anymore.

"No need... Aunt Mei."

Qian Ren Shang waved his hand and smiled gently.

"If you really want to help me... then answer a few questions for me?"

"...Young Master, what do you want to ask?"

Aunt Mei was somewhat curious. Qian Ren Shang spoke softly.

"Have you ever gone outside?"

"This... what do you mean?"

"I mean, have you ever left this place... Aunt Mei, do you know much about here? I mean... Spirit City."

Aunt Mei suddenly understood. So Qian Ren Shang was asking whether she had ever left Spirit City!

"No!"

Aunt Mei answered. Qian Ren Shang's expression immediately became somewhat disappointed, but Aunt Mei quickly added,

"But my family outside knows Spirit City quite well... they know how to get out. I can go out to see my family once every three months. I can help you ask them when the time comes."

"Really? Then thank you, Aunt Mei!!"

Qian Ren Shang looked delighted. Aunt Mei scratched her head and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"It's nothing."

She was somewhat curious why Qian Ren Shang was asking this, but she knew everyone had their secrets, so she did not press further.

Time flashed by, and several more months passed!

Nothing else happened on Qian Ren Shang's side. He had already grown used to Bibi Dong and Qian Ren Xue making things difficult for him.

After all, they were his blood relatives, and with his complicated family situation on top of that, Qian Ren Shang did not hate them that much. He knew Mother and Older Sister did not like him... and after understanding this truth over the past few months, Qian Ren Shang no longer shamelessly tried to get close to them!

As for Bibi Dong and Qian Ren Xue, they felt Qian Ren Shang was just playing hard to get. They believed Qian Ren Shang was only pretending to be pitiful and cold... trying to force them to compromise.

So they did not think much of Qian Ren Shang in that regard. When Qian Ren Shang stopped taking the initiative to come to them, the two of them were a little unused to it at first... but they were even less likely to shamelessly go to Qian Ren Shang themselves.

And so the three of them saw one another less and less. After Qian Ren Xue discovered that Qian Ren Shang did not get angry when she targeted him, she found it boring... and became even lazier about coming over.

So in these past few months, the atmosphere among them had been extremely strange.

Everyone originally thought the days would continue peacefully like this, but... a shocking piece of news from the outside world stunned everyone in the entire bedchamber.

That news was that the current pope of Spirit Hall, Qian Xun Ji, had been seriously injured!

It was said that he had been chasing down a transformed 100,000 Year Soul Beast, but in the end, he had been wounded by its partner.

No one knew the exact details. In any case, when Qian Xun Ji returned that day, his aura was weak, clearly showing that he had suffered grave injuries. This caused a huge uproar in Spirit Hall!!

This news naturally spread through the bedchamber as well, and for a time, the maids all discussed it heatedly.

The northeast corner.

Inside a dark little room!

Hearing the discussions outside, a little boy slowly opened his eyes and climbed up from the bed. The little boy's eyes were bright, his skin fair... though he was still young, from the contours of his face, one could already tell that he would surely become a handsome man in the future!

The little boy was naturally Qian Ren Shang!

Compared to his innocent cuteness from a few months ago, there was clearly a bit more loneliness in his eyes.

"Dad... was still gravely injured?"

Qian Ren Shang murmured somewhat sadly. As a transmigrator, the System had also given him the specific details of Douluo Continent, so he naturally knew everything that would happen to Qian Xun Ji.

He had also tried hinting to him, but... it had been completely useless. He was only a child, and Qian Xun Ji would never listen to what he said.

As for his feelings toward Qian Xun Ji!

Qian Ren Shang's feelings were very complicated. Many people said Qian Xun Ji was no good, that he was an extremely tyrannical pope, but Qian Ren Shang could not say he was no good.

First, he was his biological father. Second, he might have treated others badly, but he truly treated Qian Ren Shang well. Qian Ren Shang had no right to criticize him.

Putting away his jumbled thoughts,

Qian Ren Shang looked at the calendar and realized he was actually almost three years old.

"My birthday is coming up soon?"

Qian Ren Shang murmured to himself. Over these few months, he had already learned from Aunt Mei what the situation was like outside in Spirit City. Moreover, he was confident... he could shake off the others and escape Spirit Hall, Spirit City.

That was right. His preparations to leave were already complete. He, Qian Ren Shang, had truly decided to go!

"Right, before I leave, it seems I can celebrate my birthday just once..."

Qian Ren Shang's eyes lit slightly. He roughly knew what he should do!

He was going to make himself a cake and celebrate his birthday!

When the time came, he would invite Bibi Dong and Qian Ren Xue as well... although he was going to leave, he was prepared to have a proper meal with them.

Once he decided, he acted!

Qian Ren Shang moved his short little legs and went to the kitchen to start preparing.

Meanwhile!

Inside a dark Secret Chamber!

An incomparably beautiful woman burst into wild laughter. Her voice was like thunder, shaking the entire Secret Chamber until it buzzed, as if it were about to collapse. Her laughter was filled with madness and satisfaction, making one shudder.

Her long purple hair flew like a waterfall, dancing wildly along with her laughter, like an enraged beast giving off a savage aura.

At this moment, her exquisitely beautiful face was filled with ferocity. Her eyes, originally gentle as water, had now become incomparably vicious, flashing with cold, merciless light, as if a demoness had descended into the mortal world.

Her body trembled slightly, as if she could not suppress the excitement and thrill in her heart. Her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deeply into her palms. Blood flowed down along her fingertips, but she did not care at all. Instead, she laughed even more wildly.

Inside this dark Secret Chamber, her figure seemed especially eerie and terrifying, like a demon that had walked out of hell, filling people's hearts with fear.

The woman was none other than Bibi Dong, who had learned that Qian Xun Ji had suffered grave injuries!

She was truly overjoyed!!!

"Qian Xun Ji, oh Qian Xun Ji... I never expected you would have a day like this. Retribution, retribution! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"I will definitely cherish it properly... you must die!!"

Bibi Dong laughed madly. The three-year agreement was nearly up, and Bibi Dong had been extremely irritable these past few days, because this meant she had to hand Qian Ren Xue and Qian Ren Shang back to him to be raised.

But she had never expected such a turn of events to happen. This was truly wonderful!!!

Wahahaha!!
