The next morning.
Xue Ying woke in Qian Xunji's arms.
Leng Lingyuan lay beside her.
"Madam, I, I..." The first thing Xue Ying saw when she woke was Leng Lingyuan watching her with a teasing smile.
Before Xue Ying could finish, Leng Lingyuan interrupted her and asked, "Xue Ying, last night felt good, didn't it?"
"Madam, you're teasing me again." Remembering everything that had happened the night before, Xue Ying wanted nothing more than to crawl into a crack in the ground.
"All right, Xue Ying, I'll stop teasing you."
"Go have someone help you look after Xiao Xue and Xiao Xue first. Those two little ones should be waking up soon."
"My husband and I will be there in a little while."
"Yes, Madam. I'll go ahead."
After straightening her clothes, Xue Ying left the Pope Palace and headed for Saintess Hall.
Qian Xunji woke up soon after.
"Husband, let's go see Xiao Xue and Xiao Xue." Leng Lingyuan got out of bed and began dressing.
"All right."
Before long, the two of them left the Pope Palace and headed for Saintess Hall.
Spirit City, Saintess Hall.
Qian Renxue and Qian Renshuang were already up.
The two were eating breakfast.
Xue Ying stood nearby, looking after them.
Qian Xunji and Leng Lingyuan entered the dining hall.
Qian Renxue and Qian Renshuang's eyes lit up at the same time.
"Daddy, Mommy, hug!"
"Me too, me too!"
Following Qian Renxue, Qian Renshuang held a pastry in her hand and toddled toward Leng Lingyuan.
"All right, a hug." Qian Xunji crouched down and scooped Qian Renxue into his arms.
Qian Renshuang nestled in Leng Lingyuan's arms.
"Daddy, ah." Qian Renxue offered the pastry in her hand to Qian Xunji.
Qian Xunji took a bite and praised her. "Xiao Xue is such a good girl."
"Mommy, here." Qian Renshuang followed suit and offered Leng Lingyuan her pastry.
"Xiao Shuang is such a sensible girl too." Qian Xunji affectionately pinched Qian Renshuang's cheek.
The family of four basked in a warm, happy moment.
Two months later, Leng Lingyuan became pregnant again. It was her second child.
Three months later, Xue Ying became pregnant too.
Five months later, Bibi Dong went into labor again and gave birth to a daughter.
Qian Xunji named her Qian Renxia.
Her aptitude was Red Title Grade.
The system rewarded Qian Xunji with a five-level increase in Soul Power, a 50,000-year increase to the age of all his Soul Rings, and a 50,000-year increase to the age of all his Soul Bones.
Two months later, Leng Lingyuan went into labor. She also had a daughter.
Qian Xunji named her Qian Renwei.
Her aptitude was also Red Title Grade.
The system rewarded him with a five-level increase in Soul Power, a 50,000-year increase to the age of his Soul Bones, and a five-level increase in soul strength.
Three months later, Xue Ying went into labor. She also had a daughter.
Qian Xunji named her Qian Renting.
Her aptitude was Black Title Grade.
The system rewarded him with a one-level increase in Soul Power, a 10,000-year increase to the age of his Soul Rings, and a one-level increase in soul strength.
By now, all three of Qian Xunji's attributes were steadily transforming toward divinity.

In the blink of an eye, three years and nine months passed.
Qian Renxue and Qian Renshuang had both turned six.
Qian Renxia, Qian Renwei, and Qian Renting were four years old.
Qian Xunji planned to awaken Qian Renxue and Qian Renshuang's Martial Souls at the same time.
Although Qian Renxue was a month older than Qian Renshuang, Qian Xunji had still made this decision.
For more than three years, Qian Xunji had never stopped searching for Tang Hao and Ah Yin. Yet the two seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. No matter how thoroughly Spirit Hall searched, they could not be found.
At the same time, Qian Xunji had not fathered another child in those three years.
Leng Lingyuan and Xue Ying were his own people, after all. He had to respect their wishes.
As for Bibi Dong, they were together at least once a month, but she seemed to have become infertile—or perhaps high-level Soul Masters simply had difficulty conceiving.
Her strength had already reached Soul Saint.
It made Bibi Dong feel as if she could see more and more light ahead. She listened to Qian Xunji more and more, growing increasingly obedient to his every wish.
But she would never realize that Qian Xunji had never intended to let her leave the Underground Palace. Even her Seventh Soul Ring had been absorbed there.
Oh, right. Qian Xunji had also done something else over the past three years: he had seized the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Naturally, he had done so for the sake of his children.
He had Yue Guan lead a team to guard it, hoping they would cultivate more Immortal Herbs for him.
The two great arrays in Spirit City were also complete.
The Imprisonment Array remained active at all times.
The Soul-Sealing Array, meanwhile, was in a period of recovery.
The next morning.
Today was the day to awaken Xiao Xue and Xiao Shuang's Martial Souls.
Qian Xunji opened his eyes, woke Leng Lingyuan, and left the Pope Palace with her.
Underground Palace.
Bibi Dong woke too and stretched, a smug smile playing at the corners of her mouth.
Hah. Men, creatures who think with their lower halves.
I've finally reached Soul Saint.
Next comes Soul Douluo.
If I act a little spoiled again, Qian Xunji will surely let me leave this damned place.
Damn you, Qian Xunji. You really dared to treat me like a baby-making machine. Just you wait—I'll make you wish you were dead.
A father and daughter turning against each other would be so much fun!
I wonder, if Xiao Xue and Xiao Xia learned the truth, they'd surely hate you to the bone, Qian Xunji.
I was such a fool in my previous life. I chose to mistreat Xiao Xue, never realizing that she was the very dagger that would make Qian Xunji and the Qian Family suffer the most.
Oh, right. This time, there's Xiao Xia too.
Douluo Continent, Saintess Hall.
The awakening of Qian Renxue and Qian Renshuang's Martial Souls was extremely important. Not only was Qian Xunji present, but Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile were there too.
Qian Xunji and Qian Daoliu ignored each other. After what had happened last time, their father-son relationship had completely shattered and plunged to freezing point.
If his granddaughters weren't awakening their Martial Souls, Qian Daoliu wouldn't have wanted to see Qian Xunji.
It was a shame about Leng Lingyuan. She was such a fine young woman, yet Qian Xunji had led her astray and ruined her. If he had known this would happen, he never should have agreed to Qian Xunji's request.
The awakening ceremony for Qian Renxue and Qian Renshuang began, with Qian Xunji presiding.
Qian Xunji summoned his Six-Winged Angel and awakened the Martial Souls of both Qian Renxue and Qian Renshuang.
In an instant, two Six-Winged Angels appeared around Qian Renxue and Qian Renshuang.
As expected, Xiao Xue is special, Qian Xunji murmured to himself.
Although Qian Renxue and Qian Renshuang both possessed the Six-Winged Angel as their Martial Soul, Qian Renxue's was clearly different. It carried an aura of divinity.
At the same time, in the Angel God's place of inheritance, the Angel God's statue shimmered with a faint divine light.
Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel resonated with it. A stream of divine power flowed from her Martial Soul into her body, and even into her soul.
Qian Xunji knew this was a divine blessing.
Finally, Qian Xunji tested Qian Renxue and Qian Renshuang's Innate Soul Power.
Just like in the original story, Qian Renxue had Innate Soul Power of level 20.
Qian Renshuang, meanwhile, had Innate Soul Power of level 10.
Both of them could now obtain Soul Rings.
Qian Xunji decided to take them to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain their Soul Rings.
