At that moment, in the stroller, the infant boy's still-unopened eyes twitched slightly. Beneath his eyelids, his eyes were full of frustration. Hearing the conversations around him and three crucial names—Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue—he knew that he had been reincarnated into Douluo Continent, into the Qian Clan of the villainous Spirit Hall from the first Douluo story. He was a direct descendant, Qian Renxue's older brother, with a new name: Qian Renhan.

His impression of the Qian Clan could not have been lower.

Qian Daoliu—charitably speaking, he was an upright gentleman, the conscience of Douluo Continent. Less charitably, he was indecisive, constantly looking before and after acting, a cowardly man with no backbone. As long as no one touched his bottom line, he was a genuine turtle.

Qian Xunji was an outright idiot. He mishandled the matter with Bibi Dong, and at level 95, he still managed to lose to Tang Hao despite bringing along two Title Douluo. Losing with such an overwhelming advantage meant he was stupid beyond saving. A Six-Winged Angel, a warrior without weaknesses, yet he was idiotic enough to clash head-on in strength with Tang Hao, who specialized in ultimate power and Ring Detonation. He deserved to be hammered to death.

As for Bibi Dong, he did not even want to talk about her. If he were Qian Renxue, after enduring such a brutal childhood and having her youth ruined by the twenty-year Heaven Dou Palace Coup plan, once he became a god, he would not waste words—he would cripple her with one sword strike.

As for Qian Renxue, the one lying beside him, he wanted even more to kick her away. She had the brain of a pig. What bullshit fair duel? During the Heaven Dou Palace Coup, Porcupinefish Douluo's attack had already been blocked, yet she threw away her advantage. It would not have mattered if she held back after becoming a god and lost later; there was still time to salvage things. For example, she could have gone to Jialing Pass first and used her god-level strength to capture Tang Hao, Ah Yin, and everyone important to Tang San, then threaten Tang San. But that stupid girl still insisted on a fair duel and ended up getting utterly crushed.

In short, a family of five: three idiots and one madwoman.

One year later.

Early in the morning, sunlight slanted through the windows of a luxurious bedchamber. Aside from the basic furnishings, there were two small beds in the room. One was already empty, while the other still held a little boy with long golden hair, fair skin, and delicate features. His eyes were tightly shut, as though he had not yet woken up.

A few minutes later, a little girl approached. She had silky golden hair, exquisitely delicate features, big round eyes, and wore a creamy white suspender dress trimmed in gold. She looked incomparably adorable as she nudged the sleeping boy. "Brother, Brother, wake up! Grandpa is giving us a lesson today. We can't be late."

"Stop making noise. Go by yourself if you want to." Qian Renhan replied without opening his eyes, turning over impatiently. Listen to Qian Daoliu's lessons? What a joke. What could that man possibly teach with that brain of his? It would be better if Qian Daoliu listened to him.

A moment later, Qian Renhan felt the bed shake slightly. Qian Renxue seemed to have climbed onto it, but he could not be bothered with her. Even if she had a hundred times more courage, she would not dare do anything rough to him.

Then Qian Renhan felt an intense itch in his nose. He abruptly opened his eyes and found Qian Renxue sitting beside him, tickling his nose with her hair.

Qian Renxue quickly withdrew her hand and smiled. "Brother, you're awake. Come on, let's go listen to Grandpa's lesson."

Qian Renhan took a breath to suppress his anger. He hated people disturbing his sleep more than anything. If the person before him had been a younger brother, he would have kicked him without hesitation. But she was his younger sister. Even if she was an idiot he did not think much of, she was still his sister. He had to endure it.

After getting dressed, Qian Renhan put on an indifferent expression and strode toward the main hall of the Worship Hall. Qian Renxue chased after him from behind, calling, "Brother, don't walk so fast. Wait for me!"

"Brother, why do you always ignore me? What did Xiaoxue do wrong?"

"Brother!"

Qian Renhan maintained his pace despite Qian Renxue's calls, unwilling to respond. There were four idiots in the family. After giving birth to the two of them, Bibi Dong had gone to the City of Slaughter. Qian Xunji was busy with official duties all day, Qian Daoliu spent every day beside the Angel Statue like a wooden man, and Qian Renxue clung to him constantly. But he truly disliked Qian Renxue and had no desire to pay her any attention. They had originally slept together, but because he disliked it, he had forcefully demanded separate beds. That was why there were two beds.

As for helping her change, that was simply laughable. Anyone knew children had to listen to adults, so Qian Renxue's future personality was basically set in stone. If he truly invested his feelings in her, the one who would be exhausted in the future would only be Qian Renhan himself.

"Brother!" Qian Renxue finally caught up and grabbed Qian Renhan's arm with both hands.

"Just walk on your own." Qian Renhan frowned and flicked her arms away with a backhanded motion before continuing forward.

A moment later, Qian Renhan suddenly noticed that the sound of hurried footsteps behind him had stopped. Qian Renxue's calls had also fallen silent. He turned around and saw Qian Renxue squatting on the ground, tears streaming down her face as she sniffled softly.

Seeing this, Qian Renhan sighed faintly.

Qian Renxue, who was crouching on the ground and constantly wiping away tears, raised her head. She saw a small hand held out beside her, then looked blankly up at Qian Renhan's little face, which carried a trace of disdain.

Qian Renhan shook his hand and said, "Come on. Didn't you want to listen to Grandpa's lesson?"

Upon hearing that, Qian Renxue sprang up and hugged Qian Renhan's arm. "Thank you, Brother! This is the first time Brother has taken the initiative to talk to Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue is so happy!"

Looking at the heartfelt smile on Qian Renxue's face, confusion flickered in Qian Renhan's eyes. What was wrong with this girl? He had only held out his hand slightly. Such negligible concern, perhaps not even worthy of being called concern—how could it make her this happy?

Along the way, Qian Renxue continued clinging tightly to Qian Renhan's arm, as though afraid he would ignore her again.

"Brother, why do you always ignore me? What did Xiaoxue do wrong? Can you tell me? Whatever you say, Xiaoxue will change. Xiaoxue will listen to whatever Brother says. Please don't ignore Xiaoxue, okay?" Qian Renxue pleaded, shaking Qian Renhan's arm.

After several months of being followed around by such a pretty little sister, coupled with such sincere words, even the most hard-hearted person would soften somewhat.

Qian Renhan turned to look at Qian Renxue's exquisite, adorable, and pitifully delicate face. "Xiaoxue, you haven't done anything wrong."

Qian Renxue asked again, "Then why do you keep ignoring me, Brother?"

Qian Renhan sighed, raised his left hand, and rubbed Qian Renxue's head. "Let's talk after we listen to Grandpa's lesson."

Qian Renxue turned her head and saw that, at some point, they had already entered the main hall of Douluo Hall. Qian Daoliu was waiting beneath the Angel Statue.

What kind of "genius" reader thought a younger sister would listen to an older brother her own age instead of her parents? You people really have no idea what you're talking about, do you? Where does that confidence even come from?

And teach her? Have Qian Renxue tell Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji about the protagonist's ideas so they can slap the protagonist across the face out of love? That is genuinely hilarious!
