Late at night, Heaven Dou City, Seven Treasures Glazed Hotel.
After several rounds of drinks and courses, the dinner ended, and Xia Wuyou and Qian Renxue entered a hotel room.
A pot of exceptionally expensive tea sat on the tea table, along with all kinds of fruit and pastries.
"Xia Wuyou, we've eaten, you stole my first kiss, and you've taken advantage of me for so long. You should be able to tell me the answer I want now, right?"
Using the excuse of taking a bath, Qian Renxue had finally managed to escape his clutches. She was now wrapping a towel around her damp hair, the redness at the tips of her ears not yet faded.
She wore a snug, casual short-sleeved top and shorts that perfectly displayed her shapely figure. Her eye-catching long legs were completely exposed to the air, her fair skin gleaming delicately beneath the room's bright lights.
"Hehe! Not bad, not bad. Little Xue Sister, you truly deserve to be called the greatest beauty on Douluo Continent. You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen."
Xia Wuyou nodded in satisfaction, lavishing her with praise as he openly looked her over. He even squeezed Qian Renxue's long, slender legs. They were not only smooth and delicate, but also soft and springy.
Qian Renxue's face flushed crimson from that squeeze.
Suppressing the shyness in her heart, she gritted her teeth and said,
"Xia Wuyou, you bastard, don't go too far. Tell me what I want to know right now, or I'll take out the Angel Sacred Sword and chop you up."
She had only just escaped Xia Wuyou's clutches.
Then she had run to the bathroom and taken a shower.
She did not want to get her underwear wet again.
"Oh! That's easy!"
"I am who I am—the handsome-as-a-celestial Xia Wuyou. Wuyou as in carefree. Just like all the readers in front of the screen, I'm a very humble, polite, and absurdly wealthy handsome man."
As Xia Wuyou went on and on, a sharp clang of a sword split the air. Qian Renxue held the Angel Sacred Sword steadily against Xia Wuyou's neck, the blade only 0.01 centimeters from his skin.
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and said, "Xia Wuyou, you bastard, be serious. If you dare keep messing around with me, I'll really chop you with the Angel Sacred Sword."
Seeing that Qian Renxue was about to explode, Xia Wuyou could only shrug helplessly. "Sigh! Fine, fine, Little Xue Sister. Calm down. I was just joking."
With a Spatial Teleportation, Xia Wuyou pulled Qian Renxue into his arms and took the Angel Sacred Sword from her hand. Only then did he finally turn serious.
"You already know my name, so there's no need to say much more about that. As for my origins, they're simple. I come from a great power called Yan Huang, one with five thousand years of history and heritage."
"And my Eye of Time and Space Spirit is just as you guessed: a Spirit with time and space attributes. Through its abilities, not only can I see through the disguise created by your Angel Head Spirit Bone, I can also foresee the past and the future."
"With the Eye of Time and Space's ability to foresee the past and future, I know many things and many secrets. For example, I know why your mother, Bibi Dong, dislikes and hates you, even wanting to kill you. I also know the true cause of your father's death, and the truth your grandfather, Qian Daoliu, has concealed from you all these years."
When Qian Renxue heard Xia Wuyou say that he could foresee the future and the past, she was so shocked that her lips parted. She wanted to say something, but stopped herself.
Yet when she heard why Bibi Dong did not like her and hated her, the true cause of her father Qian Xunji's death, and that her grandfather Qian Daoliu had known all of it but kept it from her, her emotions became turbulent, complicated, anxious, and uneasy.
"Can you tell me all of this?"
Qian Renxue looked directly at Xia Wuyou. Her expression was calm, but her voice carried a trace of pleading. She wanted to know the truth of everything, even if it was cruel enough to leave her utterly shattered.
Xia Wuyou nodded.
He could feel Qian Renxue's resolve.
"Your mother, Bibi Dong, was a naive girl hopelessly obsessed with love. When she was young, your father Qian Xunji protected her too well, so she never understood the darkness of human hearts."
"Yu Xiaogang of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan took advantage of that and successfully deceived your mother, Bibi Dong, completely. She even fell in love with that hypocritical scoundrel, Yu Xiaogang."
"But Yu Xiaogang never liked your mother, Bibi Dong, from beginning to end. He merely wanted to use Bibi Dong's status as the Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden to enter the Spirit Hall archives and inspect the secret records of Soul Masters. His goal was to find a way for himself, Yu Xiaogang, to break through Rank 30."
"Before long, Qian Xunji learned of Yu Xiaogang's actions. Your father originally intended to execute Yu Xiaogang to ensure that the secret information in the Spirit Hall archives would not be leaked. But your mother, Bibi Dong, stopped him and even threatened Qian Xunji with her life, demanding that he spare Yu Xiaogang and let the two of them be together."
"Of course, your father Qian Xunji could not agree to such outrageous defiance. In a fit of rage, he knocked your mother Bibi Dong unconscious. In order to keep Bibi Dong by his side, Qian Xunji carried her into a secret room within Spirit Hall and violated her. That was how you, Qian Renxue, came to be."
Boom...
Qian Renxue's mind went blank.
She knew that Bibi Dong hated Qian Xunji and the Angel Family, and she knew that Bibi Dong disliked her. But she had never imagined that the truth would be so cruel.
Her birth had been a complete tragedy.
Ignoring Qian Renxue as she sobbed against his chest,
Xia Wuyou continued.
"Many years ago, your father Qian Xunji led a large group of people to hunt down Tang Hao. It was all because of Tang Hao's wife, Ah Yin, who was the transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Emperor. In the end, the Blue Silver Emperor sacrificed herself to Tang Hao, a large number of Spirit Hall members died, and your father Qian Xunji returned severely injured."
"And at that critical moment, while Qian Xunji was too badly injured to move, your mother Bibi Dong directly used her Spirit to kill him and devoured him completely, leaving no corpse behind. Because of your existence, your grandfather Qian Daoliu did not want you to suffer the pain of losing your father, then endure the despair of losing your mother as well. In the end, he suppressed the grief of losing his son and tacitly accepted Bibi Dong's actions. He even continued supporting her control over Spirit Hall afterward."
Seeing Qian Renxue already crying so hard that tears streamed down her face, Xia Wuyou gently patted her shoulder.
"Little Xue Sister, if you want to cry, then cry out loud. Bottling up too many emotions will not only harm your body, but also severely distort your mental health."
Although the truth was cruel, Xia Wuyou still felt that a short, sharp pain was better than prolonged suffering. It was a good thing that Qian Renxue learned of it early. She only needed some time to slowly recover.
