Gift: Wings of Angel

Long Yu guessed that Qian Daoliu had already informed the people below. He made his way forward without encountering any obstruction and arrived directly at the main hall he had visited half a year ago.

Although Long Yu had never been to the Great Enshrined's estate, it was still very easy to identify.

It was the tallest building aside from the main hall, and there was even a massive angel statue inside. It was practically screaming that this was the Great Enshrined's residence.

Before he could push open the wooden door, a golden figure suddenly threw herself into Long Yu's arms.

"You big bad guy, you big idiot! Why didn't you come see me for so long? Why? I hate you!" Qian Renxue's little fists continuously struck Long Yu as she kept shouting.

"I came to see you more than ten times, but you refused every time, so I..." Long Yu slowly raised his hand and placed it on Qian Renxue's fragrant shoulder. Breathing in her familiar scent, he could not help but feel at ease.

Then he noticed a problem—he was too short! This was rather awkward.

Although Long Yu's body had grown rapidly after being transformed by the Dragon God Bloodline, and his teacher had fed him nutritious food almost every day, he was only seven years old. Still, he had already reached a height of 1.5 meters. However, Qian Renxue was exceptionally tall and slender, standing at 1.7 meters.

There was a twenty-centimeter difference between them. That sight...

"Big idiot! If I told you not to come, then you just wouldn't come? Couldn't you have barged in yourself? Do you really think the elders or my grandfather would have stopped you? You don't understand me at all!" Qian Renxue reproached him.

"How could I understand you if you don't say anything?" Long Yu answered in the blunt manner of a straight man.

"True understanding doesn't need words! Xiao Yu, you've changed. Did you go to that woman's place, and that vixen too, then get charmed by them?" Qian Renxue continued.

Her face reddened slightly as well. Were those words a little inappropriate? She had actually spoken about Long Yu's teacher like that, even though she truly loathed her.

She was several years older than Long Yu, yet she seemed to have fallen for him.

"No. You have always been the person I love most." Seeing Qian Renxue's slightly aggrieved expression, Long Yu said it with some heartache.

Only Qian Renxue could say such things without consequence. If anyone else tried it, Long Yu would twist their head right off.

Still, this script seemed rather familiar. He should interrupt it before it turned into one of those short-video plots.

If you won't see me, how would I dare barge in? I'm just a little Soul Grandmaster right now. Forget your grandfather and the elders—just the knight order alone could take me out.

Long Yu could not help grumbling inwardly.

Naturally, he would never say something that would cut off his own path to survival.

"Nonsense. Then why has your Soul Power only risen by one level? Did you spend your thoughts on some other strange things? I've already cultivated to level 52. Don't waste your talent," Qian Renxue continued.

In truth, she had learned about Long Yu's cultivation over the past half year through her grandfather. She only said this to temper him a little.

"Ah, that's not true. It's just that I spent most of my time on..." Long Yu tried to explain.

"Hmph! Big idiot! Come inside first. I have so much to tell you." Qian Renxue cut off Long Yu's answer, apparently satisfied enough.

Seeing Long Yu's dazed appearance, Qian Renxue felt much better, but she stopped teasing him.

She then led Long Yu into her estate. She had so, so much she wanted to say to him.

"Accept my gift first. Open it now, and you're not allowed to say you don't like it!" Sitting together, Qian Renxue took an exquisite gift box from her Soul Tool. The golden box was tied with a delicate bow.

"Alright." Long Yu happily opened Qian Renxue's gift. As for everyone else's gifts...

They had long since been delivered to his room, but what he had looked forward to most was still Xue'er's gift.

After all, Qian Renxue could be said to be the first girl he had ever fallen for.

Upon opening the gift box, Long Yu saw a golden necklace adorned with seven yellow diamonds that shone with dazzling colors.

"Use your Spiritual Power to sense what's inside the yellow diamonds. There's a surprise waiting for you." Qian Renxue spoke as she watched Long Yu's astonished expression.

"Mm." Long Yu was deeply shocked.

Could this be fate? I had also prepared a gift for Qian Renxue long ago, and it was a necklace too.

Long Yu closed his eyes and sent his Spiritual Power into the yellow diamonds. To his surprise, he discovered that Qian Renxue's likeness had been carved inside them.

Though it was a miniature version, the resemblance was flawless. He had no idea how Qian Renxue had accomplished it.

Qian Daoliu: If Xiao Xue hadn't begged me for so long, why would I use my level 99 Spiritual Power to do something like this? It's so embarrassing, alright?

"Thank you, Xue'er. I really like your gift." Long Yu smiled.

"Mm, that's more like it. Whenever you miss me in the future, you can use your Spiritual Power to see me." Qian Renxue said happily.

"Mm, Xue'er, I have a gift for you too," Long Yu said.

He then took an exquisite necklace from his Soul Tool.

Three sapphires were set into the necklace. The sapphire in the middle had not been cut into a particularly perfect shape and even had a slightly chipped corner, but it was clear that its maker had put great care into it.

The golden chain surrounding the sapphire was shaped like a pair of wings. Every feather had been polished countless times, their textures clearly visible, making it look exceptionally elegant and grand.

"I call this gift Wings of Angel. I turned my love into wings that will protect you for a lifetime." Before Long Yu could finish, Qian Renxue embraced him again and kissed his forehead.

"Thank you. I'll wear it forever," Qian Renxue said as she held Long Yu.

This was the first gift she had ever received from someone her own age—someone special to her—and it was such a special gift.

"Sit down. I still have so much to tell you." After releasing Long Yu, Qian Renxue looked toward the Papal Palace.

"Once I leave, I don't know when I'll be able to return," Qian Renxue said sadly.

"Are you going to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire?" Long Yu asked, having already anticipated it.
