A Grown Daughter Can't Be Kept at Home!

At that moment, inside the resplendent Angel Temple.

Qian Daoliu sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion before the Angel God Statue, his eyes tightly shut as he meditated in silence.

When he heard Qian Renxue's voice.

He opened his eyes.

"Xue'er, what is it?"

Qian Daoliu's sword-like brows furrowed slightly, his expression deeply puzzled.

He had no idea what was wrong with Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue clenched her jade-like hands, her exquisite face filled with anger.

"Grandfather! I know you look down on Gu Han, but I already explained that he isn't like the rumors say. You believed me too and said you would investigate."

"But if you were going to investigate, why did you have to beat Gu Han until he was covered in injuries?!"

"I..."

Qian Daoliu was left speechless for a moment, a headache coming on as he had no idea how to explain himself.

There was no way he could explain this.

He had said he would investigate, but this brat had taken the little cabbage he had painstakingly raised. The moment he saw the boy, he felt annoyed and wanted to give him a hard time.

He had gotten carried away at the time and simply could not control himself!

But Xue'er, I'm your grandfather!

I only taught this brat a little lesson.

Couldn't that count as a test?

The brat had only suffered some minor injuries. How could you come back and argue with your grandfather over him?!

Qian Daoliu suddenly felt deeply hurt and wronged.

They said daughters and granddaughters were their fathers' and grandfathers' little padded jackets. He had worked so hard to raise his granddaughter, yet in less than a year, this little padded jacket had taken someone else's shape.

"Xue'er, Grandfather only intended to investigate him, but an investigation can't be done with words alone!"

"I had to test his strength too. Grandfather already suppressed my strength to the Soul Master level. The brat passed the test in the end, but he got injured in the process. You can't blame Grandfather for that!"

Qian Daoliu sighed, looking utterly heartsick.

"Grandfather didn't want this either. I only hoped you wouldn't be deceived and that you could be happy in the future."

"After Grandfather's test, this Gu Han really is not bad."

"As long as he can truly evolve his Martial Soul into a Golden Sacred Dragon in the future and reach the cultivation standard Grandfather requires, Grandfather will allow him to be with you."

By the end, Qian Daoliu wore an incomparably reluctant expression. His eyes had even reddened, and his voice was slightly choked.

"Grandfather."

Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Qian Renxue could not help feeling deeply moved as well.

Everything Grandfather had done was for her sake!

But when she thought of how Gu Han would fight that Xiong Ba in two and a half months, she grew worried again. Gu Han was still too weak. Even after Grandfather had suppressed his strength to the Soul Master level, Gu Han had ended up covered in injuries just to pass the test.

After thinking for a moment, Qian Renxue took Qian Daoliu's arm and said coquettishly.

"But Grandfather, you are still an elder!"

"You bullied the young and injured Gu Han like that. It wouldn't sound good if word got out. I remember there's still a Ten-Thousand-Year Crimson Spirit Ginseng in our family treasury, isn't there?"

"How about I deliver it to Gu Han and let him use it to recover properly? Then everyone will surely think Grandfather is generous!"

A Ten-Thousand-Year Crimson Spirit Ginseng, for recovering from injuries?

Qian Renxue's words nearly made Qian Daoliu fail to catch his breath.

A Ten-Thousand-Year Crimson Spirit Ginseng.

Even for a Soul Sage, consuming it could raise their cultivation by one or two levels.

And you want to give it to that brat so he can recover from his injuries?

Were you afraid that this brat would fail to meet your grandfather's standards in the future, so you were helping him in every possible way now?

Alas! A grown daughter truly couldn't be kept at home!

Under Qian Renxue's coquettish pleading, Qian Daoliu ultimately agreed helplessly. As he watched Qian Renxue leave happily, however, he felt like crying without tears.

His granddaughter was siding with an outsider so openly.

Ever since the Qian Family founded Spirit Hall, they had accumulated treasures for thousands of years. Wouldn't they all be carried away by this brat?

The next day.

When they met again, Qian Renxue gave the Ten-Thousand-Year Crimson Spirit Ginseng to Gu Han. A trace of guilt appeared on her exquisite face as she said.

"Gu Han, I'm sorry. It was actually my grandfather who injured you yesterday."

"But he didn't mean to. He heard that you were seriously injured, so he specially asked me to bring you this Ten-Thousand-Year Crimson Spirit Ginseng to treat your injuries and recover."

A Ten-Thousand-Year Crimson Spirit Ginseng?

Opening the Jade Box Qian Renxue handed him, Gu Han saw a ginseng lying inside, crimson as jade, crystal-clear, and almost humanoid in shape. He could not help feeling deeply moved.

Because he knew very well that Old Geezer Qian Daoliu definitely had not sent this. Qian Renxue had probably "fought" for it on his behalf.

"Gu Han, let Sacred Dragon consume this Ten-Thousand-Year Crimson Spirit Ginseng. You're already Level 17. If Sacred Dragon consumes it, it should help you break through to Level 20 as well."

After seeing Gu Han open the Jade Box, a smile appeared on Qian Renxue's exquisite face as she urged him to take it quickly.

Since he understood Qian Renxue's intentions, Gu Han did not refuse.

After summoning Sacred Dragon, he fed it the Ten-Thousand-Year Crimson Spirit Ginseng.

"Roro!"

After Sacred Dragon opened its mouth and swallowed the Ten-Thousand-Year Crimson Spirit Ginseng in one bite.

The entirely brilliant-gold Sacred Dragon began to emit dazzling red light.

Its abdomen in particular shone intensely.

Streams of crimson energy were continuously released from the Ten-Thousand-Year Crimson Spirit Ginseng being refined in its abdomen. They circulated through Sacred Dragon's body before being digested and absorbed.

As Sacred Dragon digested and absorbed the medicinal power of the Ten-Thousand-Year Crimson Spirit Ginseng, a considerable portion of that medicinal power was also fed back into Gu Han's body.

After feeding the Ten-Thousand-Year Crimson Spirit Ginseng to Sacred Dragon, Gu Han sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began circulating the Sacred Dragon Art. He refined the medicinal power Sacred Dragon's Martial Soul fed back into his body, converting it into Soul Power.

Very soon, an hour passed.

With the help of the Ten-Thousand-Year Crimson Spirit Ginseng, Sacred Dragon's appearance underwent another major transformation.

More fine Golden Dragon Scales had grown amid its glittering golden fur.

Its once slightly pudgy body became more agile and robust. The pair of golden wings on its back grew larger, while the bumps atop its head finally emerged, revealing the pointed tips of Dragon Horns.

Gu Han's cultivation also broke through directly from Level 17 to Level 20.

He discovered that under the effects of the Ten-Thousand-Year Crimson Spirit Ginseng.

Not only had Martial Soul: Sacred Dragon advanced another step toward becoming a Golden Sacred Dragon, but his cultivation had also risen three levels at once. Gu Han could not help grasping Qian Renxue's hands.

"Sister Xue'er, thank you!"

"Do we still need to say those words between us? Haven't you helped me just as much? You even gave me the Sun Radiance Sword Art."

Qian Renxue gently shook her head, her exquisite face full of smiles as she spoke.

After breaking through to Level 20, Gu Han naturally informed Bibi Dong and asked his teacher, Bibi Dong, to arrange for him to hunt his Second Soul Ring.

Bibi Dong quickly made the arrangements.

She would personally lead Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei to help Gu Han hunt a Soul Ring.

Since he was only hunting his Second Soul Ring, the location was naturally still the Soul Hunting Forest in the back mountains of Spirit City.

"Xiao Han, have you decided what Soul Beast you want to hunt for your Second Soul Ring this time?"

On the way to the Soul Hunting Forest, Bibi Dong walked gracefully in a dark-purple ceremonial robe, holding the Pope's Scepter. A gentle smile rested on her exquisite face as she asked.
