Qian Renxue is enjoying this rare peaceful time in her mother's arms.
At the door of the grocery store, Liu Xiulan was busy packing goods for an aunt, while Bi Dashan was sorting things on the shelves.
There were still two or three customers standing in the shop, selecting daily necessities.
"Dad, Mom." Bibi Dong walked in holding the child.
Liu Xiulan looked up and kept moving his hands. "You're back?"
"Hmm."
Bibi Dong walked over, with uncontrollable joy in his tone, "Mom, Xiao Xue just called me mom.
"Really!"
The aunt next to me also came over curiously and looked at Qian Renxue in Bibi Dong's arms with a smile on her face.
"Is this your granddaughter? She's so cute."
Liu Xiulan smiled from ear to ear, "Really? I think so too."
Qian Renxue accepted the compliment expressionlessly.
She knew that after she knew how to call her mother, such scenes would only become more and more frequent.
Ling Yuan followed behind. Seeing that there were many customers in the shop, he rolled up his sleeves and walked forward.
"Aunt, let me help."
Liu Xiulan was about to be polite, but Bi Dashan had already spoken first.
"Just ask Xiao Xi to help me."
He waved to Bibi Xi, "You brat, come on!"
Bibi Xi pointed at himself. "Me?"
"Who else could it be if not you? Hurry up!"
Bibi Xi walked over helplessly, took the goods from his father, and began to help organize the shelves.
Ling Yuan snickered on the sidelines.
"Ling Yuan, let's go upstairs. I bought a lot of clothes for Xiao Xue, just in time to try them on."
"Okay!" Ling Yuan followed immediately.
The two of them carried their children upstairs, leaving a room of people behind to continue their busy work.
Second floor, room Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong put Qian Renxue on the bed, turned around, walked to the closet, and opened the door.
There was a neat pile of small clothes folded inside, in various colors and styles.
"Look, these are all bought for Xiao Xue."
Bibi Dong took them out one by one and spread them out on the bed.
"This pink one is made of cotton and is soft."
"This blue one is made of silk and is slippery."
"This one with the little flowers is a hot item recommended by others..."
Ling Yuan came over, picked up the little pink dress and looked at it.
"This looks good and matches the skin tone."
Bibi Dong picked up another goose-yellow one and made signs on Qian Renxue.
"Where's this one?"
Ling Yuan nodded. "Not bad, it looks white."
Qian Renxue lay on the bed and let the two women manipulate him.
Pink, blue, goose yellow...
Okay, she wears the same clothes anyway, she is just a humanoid dress-up doll.
Bibi Dong picked up her daughter and started to change her clothes.
Try pink first.
Try blue again.
Try the one with the little flowers again.
After each item is replaced, Ling Yuan will comment on it.
"Good looking!"
"This one looks good too!"
"Oh, this one is cuter!"
Qian Renxue had no expression on his face, silently complaining in his mind: Do you think I look good no matter what I wear?
The answer is yes.
Because no matter which one she changes, Ling Yuan always smiles like an aunt, and Bibi Dong kisses her while changing.
When changing to the fifth item, Ling Yuan suddenly became silent.
"Dong'er sister."
"Huh?"
"Is it really okay for you to go to Slaughter City?"
"How about... I come with you?"
"Why are you going? You also want to get Divine Slaughter's Domain?"
Ling Yuan shook his head. "No, I just don't trust you to go alone."
"And the child is still so young... if something happens to you..."
"No."
Bibi Dong interrupted her, "Believe me, I will come back safely."
Ling Yuan looked at her, Bibi Dong put down the clothes in his hands, walked up to her, and held her hand.
"Ling Yuan, I know you are worried about me, but I am already Soul Saint."
"Slaughter City Although it is dangerous, it is an experience for me."
She paused and continued, "Besides, I want to become stronger."
Ling Yuan looked at her firm eyes and finally sighed.
"Okay, I believe you."
Bibi Dong smiled, reached out and pinched her face, "This is right, sister."
Two days later.
In the early morning, the sun shines on the door of Spirit City.
Bibi Dong changed into a smart outfit, her long hair was tied up high, and she looked dashing.
She held Qian Renxue and stood in front of her parents.
Liu Xiulan held her hand with a look of reluctance.
"Dong'er, it's a good thing to study at the Star Luo Sacred Hall, but you have to take care of yourself."
"Star Luo Empire's place is not as good as home. I'm not used to food, accommodation, etc..."
Bibi Dong smiled and nodded, "I know, Mom, you've said it three times."
"What's wrong with saying it three times? I'm just saying it three times to prevent you from forgetting!"
Liu Xiulan glared at her, then looked at Qian Renxue in her arms, "Xiao Xue, wait for mom to come back."
Bi Dashan stood aside, looking calmer than his wife.
"Go and study hard."
He patted his daughter on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry at home, your mother and I are here."
Bibi Dong nodded and handed Qian Renxue to Liu Xiulan.
Liu Xiulan took the granddaughter, Bibi Dong leaned over and kissed her daughter on the face.
"Xiao Xue, wait for mom to come back."
Qian Renxue looked at her and said softly "Hmm".
Bibi Dong waved to them, turned around, got on the carriage and left.
Liu Xiulan held Qian Renxue and looked at it for a long time.
"My daughter... I don't know when she will come back."
Bi Dashan put his arm around her shoulders. "Okay, it's not like I won't come back. Let's go home."
The two turned around and walked towards the city.
Qian Renxue leaned on grandma's shoulder and looked at the carriage that was getting further away.
Yesterday, in order not to worry his parents, Bibi Dong tricked them into studying at the Star Luo Sacred Hall, which would help him better manage Spirit Hall in the future.
In fact, she went to Slaughter City.
Spirit Hall, somewhere in the attic.
Chrysanthemum Douluo stood in front of the window, "Old Ghost."
Behind him, a black shadow appeared silently.
Gui Mei stood there, his whole figure seemed to blend into the shadows.
"Dean's order is left to you."
Gui Mei nodded and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will protect the Pope."
After saying that, his figure gradually faded and finally disappeared completely.
Chrysanthemum Douluo looked out the window and said in a high-pitched voice, "With Old Ghost following us, His Holiness the Pope's safety should be absolutely guaranteed.
Shadow Purgatory--
Under the gray sky, Qian Xunji sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.
But his brows were furrowed and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall he was familiar with, was now in ruins.
The tall pillars were broken at the waist, and the door he had walked through countless times lay crookedly in a pool of blood.
There are corpses everywhere.
There were guards wearing Spirit Hall uniforms, Worship Hall elders, and familiar faces. They all fell in a pool of blood, their eyes widened, and they could not rest in peace.
Qian Xunji's footsteps paused.
He saw Qian Daoliu leaning on the broken pillar, with a big hole in his chest and blood still pouring out.
