Thinking of this, Qian Renxue felt somewhat jealous of Shang An. Judging from his actions, his relationship with Bibi Dong was clearly quite close. But why was she so good to him while completely neglecting her? She was her biological daughter!
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue suddenly no longer felt like continuing the conversation.
"Forget it. You should leave first."
"Teacher, aren't you coming with me?"
"No, I still have things to do. You go on ahead."
"All right, then." Shang An stepped forward and embraced the delicate body of the 'Bibi Dong' before him. Putting everything else aside, after her transformation, Qian Renxue's figure was indeed exactly the same as his teacher's. He knew Bibi Dong's measurements perfectly well.
Qian Renxue forcibly endured her discomfort. This was the first time she had ever been embraced by a man. Pretending to be affectionate, she stroked Shang An's head, while a trace of astonishment flashed through her heart. Why did he smell so good?
"Leave quickly."
"Then I'll be going."
Shang An released Qian Renxue and turned to leave. Suddenly, he turned his head, a trace of amusement appearing on his face. "Goodbye, Xue'er."
Watching the look of bewilderment gradually surface on Qian Renxue's face, Shang An revealed an evil smile.
"Y-you know my identity?"
Shang An naturally would not tell her that he had discovered it from the very beginning. He lifted the bloodstain on the corner of his clothes. "Teacher would never attack me."
Qian Renxue was stunned. That woman was actually so good to him, making him trust her so completely. Then a burst of anger surged in her heart. "So you were making fun of me from the very beginning?"
No one had ever dared to toy with her like this. Shang An was the first. Not only had he watched her act for so long as though she were a joke, but he had also taken the opportunity to put his arms around her and hug her, making advances on her.
"Of course. Teacher is really cute when she gets angry." Shang An seemed not to have realized the seriousness of the situation.
"How dare you!" Qian Renxue's figure shifted for a moment, returning to her original appearance.
"Hmm, Little Xue'er, you really are breathtakingly beautiful. I suppose I'll reluctantly agree to marry you." Seeing Qian Renxue's face, even Shang An could not help feeling somewhat dazzled.
Qian Renxue's face bore some resemblance to his teacher Bibi Dong's, but it possessed more imposing majesty. She had golden hair, skin fairer than snow, a straight nose, and slightly slender phoenix eyes. Her entire bearing was noble and dignified. She was the only woman Shang An had seen so far who could rival his teacher.
Yet this peerlessly beautiful woman now responded to Shang An's words with her Spirit Skill.
"Fifth Spirit Skill, Holy Sword!"
Sacred flames condensed into a long sword glowing with golden light. Carrying the imposing force of sweeping away all evil, it came crashing down toward Shang An.
She had used a powerful move right from the start, without holding back in the slightest. Clearly, Shang An had infuriated her.
But Shang An no longer had his previous pale complexion. He looked full of vigor, his breathing long and steady. With his feet moving in the Tiangang Bagua Steps, he turned and dodged Qian Renxue's attack.
Qian Renxue could not help feeling slightly stunned when her powerful attack missed. What level of strength did he have now?
Although Qian Renxue was extremely surprised, the movements of her hands did not stop.
"First Spirit Skill, Angel Assault; Third Spirit Skill, Angel Descent."
Using two Spirit Skills in succession, Qian Renxue continued attacking Shang An. But Shang An was like a slippery loach, dodging every attack at the critical moment. Her sword simply could not touch him.
"Hmm, you used too much force here. You can pull back a little and leave yourself some room to maneuver."
"You shouldn't use it like this. You're wasting too much Soul Power."
"Are you an idiot? You couldn't even seize such a good opportunity."
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth. It would have been one thing if Shang An had merely kept dodging, but he actually kept running his mouth and occasionally commenting on her. Most importantly, everything he said was correct.
"Are you a coward? Is dodging all you can do?"
"Dodging? This is merely a strategic evasion." Shang An's skin was extraordinarily thick, and he did not care at all about Qian Renxue's taunts. However, he still stopped. "Since my wife wants me to face you head-on, I'll do as you wish."
Seeing Shang An stop, Qian Renxue was delighted and no longer bothered with how he addressed her. She used Fourth Spirit Skill, Angel Protection, and the Holy Sword crashed toward Shang An.
Shang An neither dodged nor evaded. His Third Spirit Skill, Tyrant Body, activated, and the External Soul Bone, Xuanwu Robe, came into effect. The Taiyi Staff appeared in his hand. By the time the Holy Sword landed on him, it had already been greatly weakened. Then it struck his Taiyi Immortal Origin Body, which had been strengthened by his defenses.
Although she had hit Shang An, Qian Renxue showed no joy on her face, because—
"Not a bad Spirit Skill. It actually made me feel a little stifled." Shang An praised her.
But to Qian Renxue, those words were a supreme humiliation. My Holy Sword only made you feel a little stifled?
She wanted to attack again, but Shang An gave her no chance.
"Fifth Spirit Skill, Taiyi Divine Light—freeze!"
A gray, hazy Spirit Ring flickered, and a faint golden divine light shot out. It was so fast that even Qian Renxue, who had been constantly watching him, could not dodge it. It pierced through Angel Protection and, with a whoosh, struck her.
Qian Renxue immediately panicked, but the divine light vanished without a trace after entering her body, causing no damage whatsoever. Qian Renxue assumed that Angel Protection had blocked it.
"Looks like your Spirit Skill isn't anything special either." Having found an opportunity, Qian Renxue wanted to mock him in return.
"Didn't you notice that something was wrong?" Shang An wore an expression of concern for an intellectually disabled child.
"Heh, what could be wrong?" Qian Renxue scoffed disdainfully and prepared to attack again, but her body showed no intention of obeying her commands. Qian Renxue's expression changed drastically.
"Why can't I move? What did you do to me?"
Shang An ignored her and instead muttered to himself, "It only immobilized the body without immobilizing the thoughts and consciousness. It looks like my Taiyi Immobilizing Divine Light still has a great deal of room for improvement."
"Shang An, release me. I was too impulsive earlier." After her body was immobilized, Qian Renxue finally regained her composure. She had indeed been far too impulsive just now.
But first, she had been held by a man while sleeping for an entire night. Then news of Bibi Dong had disrupted her emotions. Finally, she had learned that Shang An had been toying with her. Each and every one of these matters concerned her chastity, her family, and her dignity. It would have been difficult not to act impulsively.
"Release you? Then beg me." Shang An would not indulge her. He wanted to knock down her arrogance.
"Don't even think about it!" Qian Renxue said furiously. "I admit that you won, but I'm also the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall. What can you possibly do to me?"
Qian Renxue was not worried that Shang An would actually harm her. She believed that even his Dao Protector would not tolerate him doing such a thing. Their battle could be considered a spar, but neither side could truly launch a ruthless attack.
Even though she had attacked in anger just now, she had still exercised restraint. She had not even used her Spirit Bone Skill or domain.
"Is that so?" A playful smile appeared on Shang An's face. He walked over to Qian Renxue and grabbed her exquisite, flawless cheek.
"Do you really think I won't do anything to you? You should know that when you do something wrong, you have to accept punishment."
"Y-you, what are you going to do?" Seeing that Shang An's expression did not appear feigned, Qian Renxue could not help showing a trace of panic. Could this man really intend to do something to her?
"Snake Lance, Snake Lance!"
Qian Renxue began calling out to Snake Lance Douluo, who was guarding outside the sleeping palace, but no one responded.
Only then did she realize that something was wrong. The fight just now should have alerted the guards outside, but the area beyond remained completely silent, as though it were a separate space unrelated to the room. Even Snake Lance Douluo, who was always guarding her side, had not appeared.
This absolutely could not have been caused merely by Shang An's identity as the Holy Son of Spirit Hall. The guards in the sleeping palace were all her trusted subordinates, while Snake Lance Douluo had been assigned to her by Grandfather. It was impossible for them to obey Shang An.
"What did you do?" Qian Renxue could no longer maintain her cold expression. A trace of unease surfaced on her heroic face.
"Do what? Of course, I'm doing it."
Qian Renxue did not understand what Shang An meant, but when Shang An hoisted her over his shoulder and carried her toward the bed, she suddenly understood. At the same time, she completely panicked.
"No! How dare you! My Grandfather won't let you off."
Shang An ignored her.
"Snake Lance! Blood Thorn!"
"Go ahead and call out. Even if you scream your throat raw, no one will come to help you." Seeing Qian Renxue's panic, Shang An felt a peculiar sense of amusement. The current her formed a stark contrast with the ice beauty she had been earlier.
"Go ahead and call out. The more you call out, the more excited I get."
Hearing Shang An's words, Qian Renxue bit her lip tightly and glared fixedly at him with her large eyes. This was the last of her stubborn pride.
Shang An walked to the bedside and sat down, holding Qian Renxue horizontally across his lap as he pulled open the fabric.
Qian Renxue closed her eyes as though resigning herself to her fate. Come on!
