"Xue Qinghe" warily eyed the three people who had suddenly appeared in front of him. All three were clutching their heads.

Hidden nearby, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo were constantly using their Spiritual Power to monitor their young master's safety.

Bai Mo was the first to recover. He shook his head. As expected of Trailblaze teleportation!

He glanced at the wary man before him, dressed like a prince, then sensed the auras of two Titled Douluo nearby.

He smiled. Time to put on a show!

"Strange. I definitely sensed Brother Qian's presence just now. Could it be that I've been away so long that my senses are playing tricks on me?"

Muttering to himself, Bai Mo sent a surge of Spiritual Power into the dazed Ning Tian and Wu Feng, jolting them awake.

Hearing this, Qian Renxue's pupils contracted. She fought back the urge to order her guards to kill him.

"Who are you, and why did you suddenly appear before me? I'm Xue Qinghe, a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."

Bai Mo gave "Xue Qinghe" a strange look.

"I really was wondering if my senses had failed me. But seeing your reaction confirms my intuition. You're Qian Xunji's daughter, aren't you?"

Bai Mo regarded Qian Renxue with amusement.

"You!"

Qian Renxue's expression changed dramatically.

The two hidden Titled Douluo appeared as well, locking onto Bai Mo with their Soul Power.

"Xiao Xue? That's what you're called, right? You might not remember, but your father was a good friend of mine. I even held you when you were little!"

That was all true!

Bai Mo had only said that Qian Xunji was his good friend. He hadn't said he was Qian Xunji's good friend!

And it wasn't as if Bai Mo hadn't held Qian Renxue while he was little!

Speaking with amusement, Bai Mo used his Spiritual Power to force the two Titled Douluo down, making them bend over and stay to one side.

"Right, right! I held you too!"

Wu Feng, who had just woken up beside him, chimed in excitedly!

This was her fave! She'd heard Bai Mo tell stories about her plenty of times!

Qian Renxue's mouth twitched. She could almost believe that this mysterious man, whose strength she couldn't fathom, was an elder of hers. After all, he'd revealed a secret that no ordinary person could possibly know.

He looked young, but Soul Masters could change their appearance with ease!

But this red-haired little girl?

Qian Renxue could tell at a glance that she had only about 46 levels of Soul Power. She was at most the same age as Qian Renxue. How could she have held her? Were two little babies supposed to hold each other?

Qian Renxue grumbled inwardly.

"Xue'er, I'm your Uncle Bai Mo. This is my second wife, Wu Feng. She's lively by nature, so don't take offense. The other one is my first wife, Ning Tian."

Bai Mo spoke with effortless grace, though inwardly he was about to burst out laughing.

Meanwhile, they were also chatting inside his Simulated Universe.

Herta: You're just going to watch this?

Qian Renxue: I've already been through this once. Why should I let this Qian Renxue have it easy?

Herta: 6!

"Uh, haha! Uncle Bai certainly has distinctive taste! Your two aunts are both in the prime of their youth~"

Qian Renxue laughed awkwardly, sneaking a jab at Bai Mo.

What a beast of an uncle. For all she knew, those two aunts might be younger than her!

Wait! Oh, crap! Could this creep have his eye on me?

"It's fine, Xiao Xue! Let's not worry about who's older or younger. Just call me Wu Feng!"

Wu Feng patted her chest and smiled at Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue smiled and played along. She didn't entirely trust these three, but she was in no position to resist. She'd just have to accept this new family hierarchy and have Grandpa investigate them later!

"Xue'er, why are you dressed like this? Don't tell me you like girls, just like your Aunt Wu Feng?"

Bai Mo chatted with Qian Renxue as if they were old family friends.

"Uh, Xue'er is on a mission."

"I see. You just said you were a prince, after all. If I didn't know who you were, I'd think Brother Qian had cuckolded the Heaven Dou Emperor!"

Qian Renxue gave him an awkward but polite smile.

"Would you like Uncle Bai to help? Uncle Bai's only just come back after all this time. If you're having trouble, you can tell me~"

Bai Mo put an arm around each of his wives' waists and spoke warmly.

Qian Renxue's eyes flew wide as she looked at her gentle, refined uncle, at Wu Feng smiling at her, and at Ning Tian giving her a warm nod.

(Seriously, Ning Tian and Qian Renxue together was such a dark joke. Good thing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was something Bibi Dong had taken care of.)

Qian Renxue's nose stung. This was the first time anyone had asked if she was having a hard time.

But Qian Renxue was no ordinary person. She quickly got her emotions under control, and her trust in Bai Mo's identity grew by another twenty percent.

"Uncle Bai, could you stay and keep Xue'er company?"

Qian Renxue looked at Bai Mo with Xue Qinghe's tender gaze. Bai Mo shuddered.

"Of course. You've clearly been through a lot. Your parents have really failed you, not caring about their own child like this!"

Bai Mo ruffled Qian Renxue's hair.

Qian Renxue nearly dropped her disguise and flung herself at him, wanting to sob into his arms.

"Uncle Bai, how did you meet my father and... that woman?"

The last of Qian Renxue's reason urged her to keep testing Bai Mo.

"Brother Qian? I met him a long time ago. I just didn't come around here often. The last time was when you were a month old~"

"As for your mother? She was a lovesick fool. But Brother Qian wasn't exactly blameless either. Still, that's all in the past. Come on, Xue'er, don't you believe me yet?"

Bai Mo sighed wistfully, then teased Qian Renxue.

"Oh! Uncle Bai, how long are you staying this time?"

Qian Renxue didn't understand what he meant by coming around, but she followed up anyway.

"I'll be here for a while. I don't have much to do, so I can spend some time with you on your parents' behalf."

"Uncle Bai, my father is dead..."

Qian Renxue lowered her head, stepped forward, and wrapped her arms around Uncle Bai's waist as she spoke softly.

"What! Who did it?"

Bai Mo's gaze turned steely. His invisible killing intent nearly scared the two wooden-stiff guardian Douluo into wetting themselves!

"Tang Hao! The Clear Sky Sect!"

Qian Renxue gritted her teeth. This was her final test. If this uncle really went after Tang Hao for her father's sake, she would believe him completely!

"Damn it! Your grandfather just stood by and watched? Has he gone senile?"

Bai Mo cursed.

"I'll go find Bibi Dong. She can't even take down one Tang Hao? I remember she had the best talent of all of us back then!"

Another Bai Mo suddenly appeared beside him. With a cold expression, this Bai Mo flew off in the direction of Spirit Hall!

[Sparkle Mask: Transform into someone else]

[Sparkling Mask: Split off a clone completely controlled by yourself. The clone has exactly the same strength as you.]

The Sparkling Mask was a purple reward Bai Mo had drawn a few years ago.

Two different scenes appeared in Bai Mo's mind. It was his first time using the masks, and he found it quite novel!

"Uncle Bai, can't you avenge Xue'er?"

Qian Renxue looked at Bai Mo sadly.

"Xue'er, Uncle Bai will definitely avenge you. Wait until my clone comes back. But I also need to stay by your side. There's already something wrong with your heart."

Bai Mo looked at Qian Renxue tenderly and drew her into his arms.
