Marrying a Wife

"How did you deal with her?" Qian Daoliu asked, his brows furrowed.

"Father, I have placed her in confinement."

"Truly?"

"Father, truly!"

"You didn't do anything else excessive?"

"Father, no. How could I possibly do anything excessive?"

Qian Daoliu fell into silence. After a long while, he said, "It is good that you haven't."

"You may return now."

"Father, I shall take my leave." Qian Xunji fled the Worship Hall as if flying; realizing he had let something slip, he decided it was best to run while he could.

After returning to Martial Soul Hall, Qian Xunji began his own regimen of restorative feasts.

Seven days later.

Feeling that he was once again capable of battling Bibi Dong for three days and three nights, Qian Xunji stepped into the secret chamber once more.

Naturally, during those seven days, the food for Bibi Dong had been prepared by Qian Xunji himself.

Another three days and three nights passed.

On the fourth day, Qian Xunji was pleasantly surprised to discover that Bibi Dong was already pregnant.

A new life was beginning to take root.

It seemed it was time to seek out a new target.

However, with Qian Daoliu currently present, Qian Xunji did not dare to act too recklessly.

To act recklessly, one would need the strength to suppress Qian Daoliu.

After all, Qian Daoliu was a rigid, stubborn man who did not know how to adapt.

If he were to act out of line, Qian Daoliu would certainly not show him any mercy, even if he was currently the Pope of Martial Soul Hall.

Although he could not act recklessly, he could scout for a second target by way of taking a wife.

The talent of his offspring determined his rewards, so in these early stages, Qian Xunji would not lower his standards too much.

On Douluo Continent, the talent of the parents was crucial and had a significant impact on the child.

He possessed the Six-Winged Angel, so his own talent was certainly not lacking; now, only the mother remained.

He already had a candidate in mind.

It was the Spirit Kite Douluo among the elders—Leng Lingyuan.

She was beautiful with a sweet voice, and her age was similar to his own.

Most importantly, Leng Lingyuan possessed the cultivation of a Titled Douluo; her talent was strong enough that no matter how poor the child's future talent might be, it wouldn't be too bad.

However, he still needed to sound out Qian Daoliu regarding this matter first.

Of course, before speaking to Qian Daoliu, he first had to pacify Bibi Dong's emotions.

After all, if Bibi Dong were to take advantage of a lapse in his attention to get rid of Qian Renxue, he wouldn't even have time to cry.

Six-Winged Angel.

Innate full soul power of level twenty.

The system's rating for Qian Renxue's talent was bound to be very high.

This meant that the birth of Qian Renxue could bring Qian Xunji very generous system rewards.

Qian Xunji approached Bibi Dong and said, "Bibi Dong, I trust you have felt it—you are already carrying my child."

"I hope the child can be born successfully."

"I advise you not to be ungrateful."

"Otherwise, I will make Yu Xiaogang wish he were dead."

"Of course, as long as you listen to me obediently and allow the child to be born safely, I can let you leave this secret chamber when the time comes."

"I understand," Bibi Dong said indifferently, though her heart was blooming with joy; things were unfolding exactly as she had anticipated.

It wouldn't be long before she could leave this secret chamber.

Once she regained her status and could resume her cultivation, she would trick Qian Xunji into dealing with Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor.

As long as Qian Xunji was severely wounded by Tang Hao, it would be her, Bibi Dong's, chance to wash away her humiliation.

Although Bibi Dong had agreed, for the sake of insurance, Qian Xunji still stripped her of the ability to self-harm or cause injury to the child in her womb.

After finishing all of this, Qian Xunji left the secret chamber to go find Qian Daoliu.

Martial Soul City, Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Xunji, somewhat surprised, and asked, "What made you think of coming to see me today?"

"Is there something the matter?"

"I have been reflecting on what you told me in the past, Father, and I suddenly realized that you were right."

"My talent is indeed limited; I truly cannot become a god, and it is even difficult for me to inherit your mantle and become the Great High Priest."

"Therefore, Father, I have decided to listen to you, take a wife, and continue the bloodline of our Qian family."

"You intend to take a wife?"

Qian Daoliu was slightly surprised.

"Who have you set your sights on?"

"Father, it is someone from our Martial Soul Hall: Leng Lingyuan, Spirit Kite Douluo."

"Leng Lingyuan is of a similar age to me, her cultivation is at the Title Douluo level, and her Martial Soul is the Fire Kite, which is a perfect match for my Six-Winged Angel. I believe the offspring we have in the future will surely be able to carry on our Qian family's bloodline well."

"I came to you today, Father, because I wanted to ask you to speak to Spirit Kite Douluo on my behalf regarding my intentions," Qian Xunji said with a sheepish smile as he looked at Qian Daoliu.

"Very well, I will speak with Leng Lingyuan," Qian Daoliu agreed.

"Father, please rest, I shall take my leave now," Qian Xunji said, retreating.

Three days later.

Leng Lingyuan found Qian Xunji and asked, "Qian Xunji, I heard from your father that you wish to marry me?"

"That is correct, Spirit Kite Douluo. I wonder if you would be willing to marry me?" Qian Xunji countered.

"Qian Xunji, I cannot tolerate a man who is weaker than me. As long as you can defeat me, I will agree to marry you, out of respect for the kindness the Great High Priest has shown me."

"Since that is the case, I shall have to ask for a pointer or two from Spirit Kite Douluo."

"Spirit Kite Douluo, please?" Qian Xunji gestured for Leng Lingyuan to head outside.

Leng Lingyuan immediately left the Pope Palace.

Above Martial Soul City.

A great battle between Qian Xunji and Leng Lingyuan was on the verge of breaking out.

The two fought for three hundred rounds.

Qian Xunji narrowly defeated Leng Lingyuan.

Leng Lingyuan looked at Qian Xunji and said, "Qian Xunji, I, Leng Lingyuan, keep my word. Since you were able to defeat me, I will marry you."

"From now on, you are my husband."

"I look forward to your guidance in the future, Husband."

"Lingyuan, I will ensure that. Let us go find Father and have him pick an auspicious date for us."

"Very well."

Qian Xunji brought Leng Lingyuan to find Qian Daoliu and explained their intentions.

Qian Daoliu agreed.

Seven days later.

The entire Martial Soul Hall was filled with joy.

Today was the wedding day of Qian Xunji and Leng Lingyuan.

After drinking the nuptial wine, they entered the bridal chamber.

Qian Xunji's ambition was great; he wanted to conquer not only Leng Lingyuan's body but her heart as well.

One month later.

Over this past month, Qian Xunji had been inseparable from Leng Lingyuan.

Qian Xunji had successfully conquered Leng Lingyuan with his prowess.

Leng Lingyuan was now completely obedient to him.

And in this month, Qian Xunji had also successfully gotten Leng Lingyuan pregnant with his child.

Leng Lingyuan lay against Qian Xunji's chest and asked, "Husband, what about Bibi Dong?"

"I haven't seen her for quite some time."

"Bibi Dong has been locked away by me."

"Lingyuan, let Me take you to see her."

Qian Xunji decided to lay his cards on the table with Leng Lingyuan, pulling her along as he opened the secret passage to the chamber.

Upon seeing Bibi Dong bound by chains, Leng Lingyuan was utterly shocked and asked:

"Husband, what is the meaning of this?"

Yet, the word "husband" from Leng Lingyuan caused Bibi Dong to completely lose her composure.

This was a situation that had never occurred in her previous life.
