"Mm!"
"So this is what it feels like to have a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul?"
Qian Wulu slowly opened her tightly shut eyes.
She could feel the changes brought by the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
Compared with the strength she'd felt from her original Four-Winged Angel Martial Soul, the power she felt now was on an entirely different level.
"Hehe! Little sis, you're awake."
"Judging by that look on your face, I take it you're pretty happy with the result?"
Qian Wuyou chuckled softly, his eyes full of affection.
Not having awakened a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul had always been one of Qian Wulu's biggest regrets. Now her wish had finally come true, and that regret had been completely erased.
"Hehehe! Big bro, thank you!"
"My Four-Winged Angel Martial Soul really evolved into a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul!"
Qian Wulu happily threw herself into Qian Wuyou's arms, her voice brimming with unrestrained joy.
She rubbed her little head against his chest like a little sparrow that had just found a precious treasure.
"Silly girl, there's no need for formalities between family!"
Qian Wuyou gently flicked the girl on the forehead.
Qian Wulu was his only biological sister. Their bond needed no words to dress it up.
Otherwise, when Qian Wulu learned that the Grand Worship of the Angel God was going to be offered as a sacrifice, she wouldn't have immediately let loose a furious tirade at Qian Daoliu, their kind-faced clan leader.
Even when Qian Wuyou said he would defect, leave Spirit City, and set up on his own, Qian Wulu had agreed without the slightest hesitation.
That was the trust and affection they shared as siblings.
But just then, Qian Wulu seemed to think of something.
She blinked and asked a question that left even Qian Wuyou speechless.
"Hehehe!"
"Big bro, you're not getting any younger. When are you bringing home a sister-in-law for me?"
"Honestly, I really want to hold a little nephew!"
Well, you couldn't deny it.
Though Qian Wuyou was a Level 96 Peak Douluo, he was already twenty-six years old, and he hadn't even had a girlfriend. There wasn't so much as a rumor about him and a woman.
The only women who had any dealings with Qian Wuyou were the sisters Tianzhen and Wuxie. Later, once he'd gotten busy cultivating and broken through to Titled Douluo, he'd sent Tianzhen and Wuxie to serve as Qian Wulu's bodyguards.
Qian Wuyou gave her a helpless look and gently tapped her on the forehead again. Half amused and half exasperated, he said,
"Little sis, what kind of nonsense are you thinking about all day?"
"With the way things are right now, how would I have the time to think about romance?"
Qian Wulu pursed her lips and muttered indignantly,
"Big bro, so what?"
"Tianzhen and Wuxie are helping with logistics for the Ice God Secret Realm and settling our clan members. That doesn't stop you from finding yourself a girlfriend..."
"And Tianzhen and Wuxie are both so clever and capable. Why don't you consider one of them?"
"You're already old friends, anyway. You could all just get married and start having kids right here..."
Qian Wuyou: "Uh..."
What the hell did she mean, "old friends"?
What the hell did she mean, "get married and start having kids right here"?
It was precisely because they were so familiar that he would never consider Tianzhen or Wuxie!
But don't be fooled by the fact that Tianzhen and Wuxie were Qian Wuyou's most loyal followers, or that Qian Wulu called them "big sisters." If you went by seniority, Tianzhen and Wuxie were actually the younger sisters of the siblings' late parents...
Though they weren't related by blood, there was no denying that Tianzhen and Wuxie had been adopted by their deceased parents.
Otherwise, Qian Wuyou wouldn't have gone out of his way to assign Tianzhen and Wuxie to protect Qian Wulu.
You had to understand: Soul Douluos like Tianzhen and Wuxie were high-ranking figures in the Angel Family's Soul Master Corps.
If Qian Daoliu, a Level 99 Peerless Douluo, was the clan leader of the Angel Family, then Qian Wuyou, a Level 96 Peak Douluo, was the head of the Angel Legion, while Soul Douluos like Tianzhen and Wuxie were deputy commanders of the Angel Legion.
Without that family connection, Tianzhen and Wuxie would never have given up their authority in the Angel Legion to go and serve as bodyguards for Qian Wulu, their little sister, who was only a Level 60 Quasi-Soul Emperor.
That was right. You hadn't misread it, and you hadn't misheard.
With the combined boost of Immortal Herbs and divine power, Qian Wulu's Soul Power Level had soared from Level 53 Soul King to Level 60 Quasi-Soul Emperor!
Such a rate of improvement was an unprecedented miracle—not only across the entire Douluo Continent, but even in the history of the Angel Family.
Keep in mind, Qian Wulu was only eighteen years old. Without a single Soul Bone, she'd reached Level 53 Soul King through her Innate Full Soul Power talent.
Now, thanks to her fortuitous encounter at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, her Soul Power Level had soared all the way to Level 60 Quasi-Soul Emperor.
If Qian Wulu had a full set of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, it would probably take only a few years for the girl to reach the Titled Douluo realm that other Soul Masters dreamed of.
Qian Wuyou's idea was undeniably bold: he was simply copying what had worked for himself. But Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones weren't cabbages.
Even if he wanted to, right now he had no way of getting a full set of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones suited to the attributes of a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
"Little sis, enough. You don't need to worry about my affairs!"
Qian Wuyou shook his head helplessly, cutting Qian Wulu off before she could say anything else.
He was only twenty-six, in the golden age of a Soul Master's cultivation, with plenty of time and a long life ahead of him. He couldn't rush into something as important as finding a partner, getting married, and having children.
Titled Douluos had long lifespans, especially a Level 96 Peak Douluo like him. As long as nothing unexpected happened, he could easily live for several hundred years. Compared with other Soul Masters, he had all the time in the world to wait for the right partner.
After all, finding a partner, getting married, and having children wasn't something to do recklessly or settle for. His future partner, Qian Wuyou's, would have to be a Titled Douluo at the very least.
It wasn't that Qian Wuyou was picky.
After all, he didn't want his wife to die of old age a century from now while he, strong enough to outlive her, was left alone in this world to suffer the agony of parting forever.
In this backward, feudal fantasy world, living to sixty was already considered a ripe old age for an ordinary person. Even a Soul Douluo could live only about a hundred years at most.
And what about Qian Wuyou?
A Level 96 Peak Douluo was only the beginning. Reaching Level 99 Peerless Douluo was practically a foregone conclusion. And on top of that, he was the Lord of the Douluo Planet Plane, with godhood all but guaranteed in the future.
As long as they didn't go looking for trouble, gods lived forever.
So insisting that his future partner be a Titled Douluo was already the bare minimum for Qian Wuyou.
Strictly speaking, even an ordinary Titled Douluo, with a lifespan of only a few hundred years, still wasn't worthy of his eternal life.
Only a woman with the potential to become a god was worthy of spending eternity by his side...
