Hu Liena

Qian Xunji saw how unyielding Qian Daoliu was. Completely inferior to Qian Daoliu in strength, he could only rage helplessly.

"Father, just keep gloating. Think about what you'll do once Xiao Xue's cultivation is profound enough and she learns that beast's true nature."

"You'll regret this sooner or later!"

"Get lost."

Qian Daoliu had considered it long ago. It would definitely be fine. Just look at Qian Renxue's attitude toward Tang San, that half-beast, in the original story; look at her attitude toward Xiao Wu, that hundred-thousand-year rabbit. Was there even the slightest discrimination?

"Bang!"

Qian Xunji slammed the meeting room doors shut. The doors of the assembly hall boomed from the violent impact.

At the foot of Pope Mountain, Spirit City.

Bibi Dong walked along the streets of Spirit City. The bright sunlight fell over her, and she gradually felt her entire body relax. She was truly free. She was leaving Spirit Hall, this filthy, disgusting place. She could go find her beloved Yu Xiaogang and be with Yu Xiaogang...

Her beautiful fantasy abruptly shattered. Bibi Dong suddenly remembered that Qian Xunji had taken her pure body from her. Her body had become filthy. She could not touch Xiao Gang with this filthy body. She could not let Xiao Gang become filthy like her. She could not be with Xiao Gang!

Killing intent surged wildly within Bibi Dong, and her expression gradually turned somewhat savage. Qian Xunji, you have already ruined me! Sooner or later, I will return and destroy the foundations of your Angel Clan, exterminating your entire Angel Clan!

"Holy Maiden."

Bibi Dong came back to her senses and discovered that it was a Soul Master from Spirit City. Seeing that something was wrong with her expression, he was looking at her with concern while bowing to her.

Bibi Dong glanced at the Soul Master and was about to leave when she suddenly noticed a long line before a great hall nearby. The people in line were all six-year-old children.

"The Awakening Hall? Is it time for Spirit Hall's annual Martial Soul awakening again?"

Inside the Awakening Hall.

A delighted voice came from the awakening master. "Heavenly Fox, a top-grade Martial Soul, with Innate Soul Power above level nine!"

"Based on my many years of experience awakening Martial Souls, your Innate Soul Power should have reached level 9.5!"

"Little girl, what is your name?"

The awakening master asked. He had to register such a genius and report her to Spirit Hall for proper cultivation. She was a child raised in the Spirit City orphanage, brought up on Spirit Hall's provisions. How could she not join Spirit Hall?

"My name is Hu Liena."

Within the hexagram awakening array stood a girl with shoulder-length orange hair and two pairs of adorable fox ears sprouting from her head. Her small face was exquisite, her lips thin, and her willow-leaf brows curved. Her eyes, which had turned pink after Martial Soul Possession, were crystal clear and without a trace of impurity, yet brimming with a rich charm that could easily stir a man's heart. Her skin was fairer than snow, and a fluffy large tail extended from behind her.

The phrase "born with seductive bones" fit this girl perfectly. One could imagine that once she grew up, countless men would fall at her feet and be driven mad by her.

The awakening master nodded slightly. "Hu Liena, is it? I'll report your talent to Spirit Hall shortly. I believe a Title Douluo elder will soon come to take you as a disciple."

"No need. Leave this little girl to me. I'll be her teacher."

A crisp, pleasant voice rang out as Bibi Dong walked in. She had passed by the Awakening Hall and taken an interest, so she had come in to observe. She had not expected her luck to be so good, encountering a genius who had awakened the Heavenly Fox Martial Soul and possessed level 9.5 Innate Soul Power. And she was an adorable little girl, too.

Such a coincidence immediately gave Bibi Dong the thought of taking this girl as her disciple and bringing her away from this filthy, hypocritical place known as Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong had lived in Spirit Hall for so long that she knew much about the Qian Family. Logically speaking, as one of the continent's most powerful families, its heads were all Limit Douluos with long lifespans. Even if they did not have children in their teens or twenties like the Clear Sky Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, producing several generations living under one roof, they should still have been able to do so by relying on a Limit Douluo's lifespan.

Yet the Qian Family, which had produced a Limit Douluo in every generation, currently had only three generations: grandfather, father, and grandson. Qian Daoliu had Qian Xunji at seventy. That might have been somewhat late for an ordinary Soul Master family, but could it be considered late for a Limit Douluo?

Qian Xunji had fathered Qian Renxue when he was fifty after laying his hands on her, which was already quite early. Yet there were still only three generations.

It was hard to imagine how old Qian Daoliu's father had been when he had Qian Daoliu.

Judging from Qian Xunji's mother, who had died just after giving birth to him, she discovered that for the Qian Family to reproduce, they had to find a mother with extraordinary talent. She needed to be capable of bearing the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and possess at least level-seven Innate Soul Power.

When a mother gave birth to offspring, part of her life was stripped away. The stronger the offspring, the more life was taken from the mother.

If they casually found a female Soul Master with mediocre talent, then either the mother's life would be drained before the child was even born, leaving two corpses, or the offspring would be malnourished and the Angel Martial Soul would degrade.

Having to wait for a mother whose talent met the standard was also one reason why the Qian Family reproduced so late.

With Hu Liena's level 9.5 Innate Soul Power, if the Qian Family produced another male descendant, or if Qian Xunji returned to his old ways, Hu Liena would undoubtedly be the most suitable candidate to serve as a mother.

How could Bibi Dong stand by and watch such filthy, disgusting, Evil things happen again? She had to take Hu Liena away with her!

With level 9.5 Innate Soul Power, a top-grade Martial Soul, and the rare spiritual attribute, Hu Liena would absolutely grow into a Title Douluo in the future if properly nurtured. Moreover, aside from a few especially monstrous geniuses, spiritual-attribute Soul Masters were basically unmatched among those of the same rank.

"Greetings, Holy Maiden."

The awakening master immediately bowed upon seeing Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong nodded slightly. Looking at Hu Liena, whose eyes were full of little stars, she rubbed the girl's head and smiled. "Your name is Hu Liena, right?"

"Yes, Holy Maiden Sister."

Hu Liena's eyes brimmed with admiration. Who did not know the name of the Holy Maiden, Bibi Dong? She was Spirit City's greatest beauty, the dream lover of countless Soul Masters, a reclusive genius of Spirit Hall who was no less talented than Tang Hao, and the Pope's personal disciple.

Bibi Dong asked, "Are you willing to become my disciple?"

Hu Liena's eyes widened in disbelief. Her family had been attacked by their enemies, and her parents had been killed while protecting her. Because her family had connections with Spirit Hall, she had been rescued by Spirit Hall and brought to live in the Spirit City orphanage.

Having grown up in an orphanage, Hu Liena harbored a certain sense of inferiority. She could not believe that, just after leaving the orphanage, she would earn the Holy Maiden's favor and be accepted as her disciple.

The awakening Soul Master looked at Hu Liena with envy. What a heaven-sent opportunity. If this little girl became the Holy Maiden's disciple, she would surely break through to Title Douluo in the future. It might even be possible for her to become a worshipper.
