Qian Renhan

Spirit City, luxurious and ancient, steeped in history, lay beneath a thick blanket of snow.

In the Papal Palace at the center of Spirit City, heart-wrenching screams rang out from a magnificent, glittering bedchamber.

On a soft bed, a breathtakingly beautiful woman with a swollen belly screamed continuously, her delicate cheeks drenched in sweat.

Any adult with even the slightest bit of common sense would know that a child was about to emerge from the womb, raising the family rank and bringing a pair of parents into being.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how much pain a woman about to become a mother endured, there should have been at least a trace of happiness on her face. But the woman before them was different. Her bloodshot eyes brimmed with world-destroying hatred and killing intent. Her hands desperately tried to pound her abdomen, as though she wanted to beat the unborn children in her belly to death, but the midwives at her side held her down tightly.

After an unknown amount of time, the cries of two infants rang out, echoing throughout the room.

The spirit master responsible for the delivery pushed open the door and said to the anxious blond, handsome young man and blond, handsome middle-aged man waiting outside, "Great Enshrined Elder, Your Holiness the Pope, the Saintess has given birth. They are Dragon-Phoenix Twins!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji and Qian Daoliu could no longer suppress the joy on their faces. "Good. Go collect your reward."

"Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope!" The delivery spirit master dropped to one knee, his face filled with excitement.

Before long, Qian Xunji entered the room. Seeing Bibi Dong, drenched in sweat, pale-faced, tearful, her hair disheveled and hairpins fallen loose after giving birth, his eyes filled with heartache. "Dong'er, you've suffered."

At the sound of Qian Xunji's voice, overwhelming killing intent resurfaced in Bibi Dong's hollow eyes. "Beast! Beast! You animal! I'll kill you! And I'll kill these two bastards!"

As soon as she spoke, Bibi Dong somehow found the strength to prop herself up, stretching both hands toward the necks of the two infants in the nearby cradle.

Qian Xunji's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly shielded the two babies, seized Bibi Dong's hands, and said painfully, "Dong'er, have you gone mad? They are your children! Even a vicious tiger does not devour its cubs. I am the one at fault. How can you lay hands on them?"

At those words, hesitation flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes before she roared, "These two abominations are not my children! I'll kill you! I'll kill all of you!"

Seeing Bibi Dong in such a frenzied state, helplessness flashed through Qian Xunji's eyes. He struck the back of her neck, knocking her unconscious.

"Take the two children to the Worship Hall," Qian Xunji told the trembling maid beside him. He truly did not dare leave the children at Bibi Dong's side to be nursed or anything of the sort. Given her crazed state, if she truly did something utterly deranged, the consequences would be irreversible.

After the two children were carried away, Qian Xunji walked out with a complicated expression and met Qian Daoliu's cold gaze. Unconsciously lowering his head, he said, "Father."

Silence filled the air for a time. Qian Daoliu said nothing, and Qian Xunji did not raise his head.

After a long while, Qian Daoliu sighed. "I do not wish to speak of the matter between you and Bibi Dong any further. In the end, the Qian Clan owes her."

Qian Xunji said earnestly, "Father, rest assured. I will do everything in my power to make it up to Dong'er. Now that we have two children, I believe we can become a family."

"I hope so."

Qian Daoliu nodded, then hurried toward the Worship Hall. It was the first time in his life that he had become a grandfather, and he could no longer suppress his excitement. Qian Xunji quickly followed after him.

At that moment, six old men stood beside a baby cradle in the Worship Hall. They wore long robes in different colors, with their shoulder armor set aside nearby.

The six old men formed a circle around the cradle, gazing at the two newborn babies, who could not yet open their eyes. Their faces were filled with affection as they communicated through spiritual transmission, careful not to disturb the infants' rest.

"Brothers, make way."

For the first time in his life, Qian Daoliu did not maintain the bearing expected of the eldest brother before the Six Great Enshrined Elders. He eagerly crowded up to the cradle and looked at the two infants.

"Greetings, uncles."

After greeting the Six Great Enshrined Elders, Qian Xunji also stepped closer.

Golden Crocodile Douluo smiled. "Big Brother, Your Holiness the Pope, what are the names of the two young masters?"

Upon hearing this, both Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji froze. Normally, names should have been chosen as soon as the children were born, but because of the matter with Bibi Dong, they had not had the time.

Faced with Qian Daoliu's slightly angry gaze, Qian Xunji shuddered. Looking out at Spirit City blanketed by wind and snow, he said, "Father, they are of the Ren generation, and they were born on a snowy night. How about Qian Renxue for the girl and Qian Renhan for the boy?"

"Qian Renhan, Qian Renxue. Good names, excellent names!"

The Enshrined Elders all nodded in agreement. Qian Daoliu also found the names fitting and approved Qian Xunji's proposal.

PS: No female lead, no system. Saintly-mother types, enter at your own risk.

The protagonist's character setting is based on the comic version of Qian Daoliu: his heart holds only Spirit Hall.

Regarding the handling of Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong.

Qian Xunji will go to prison for reform through labor. Bibi Dong will not be given a second glance.
