Back home, Qian Yufeng finally relaxed.
A faint aroma of food drifted over, and he headed straight for the kitchen.
Qian Lingxin and Qian Lingsu were busy in the kitchen. Hearing his footsteps, they turned and said, "Master!"
"Add two more dishes for lunch. Dong'er will be coming over for lunch," Qian Yufeng told the two women.
"Yes, Master."
After they responded, Qian Yufeng left the kitchen.
However, he had barely sat down in the living room when he heard footsteps outside the door.
"So soon?"
Qian Yufeng got up and walked to the courtyard gate. It really was Bibi Dong.
The moment she saw him, Bibi Dong ran over.
"Grandpa, I'm here!"
"Mm!"
Qian Yufeng smiled, then took her little hand and looked at the female guard. "Come in too. I don't have that many rules here."
"Thank you, Elder Qian!" the female guard replied, following behind Qian Yufeng and Bibi Dong.
Upon entering the living room, Bibi Dong swallowed. She had caught the scent of the food.
Qian Yufeng could not help smiling. "Dong'er, it'll still be a while before we eat."
"Grandpa, Dong'er is very patient. Good food can't be rushed. Dong'er is right, isn't she?" Bibi Dong said as she looked at him.
"Yes, yes, Dong'er is right!" Qian Yufeng said with a smile.
This little girl was quite interesting.
Sharp as a tack!
Just then, A-Luo, who had been asleep in Qian Yufeng's spiritual world for several days, woke up as well.
In a flash, she appeared before him.
"A-Luo is out!"
"A-Feng, my source power has grown stronger, hehe!"
After saying that, A-Luo curiously looked around the hall.
"Is this A-Feng's home?" she asked in confusion.
"Yes, this is my home, and it's your home too." Qian Yufeng nodded.
Bibi Dong's attention, meanwhile, was drawn to the little creature that had suddenly appeared, something like a doll. She was simply too cute!
She asked curiously, "Grandpa, who is she?"
A-Luo turned toward Bibi Dong and floated around as she said, "I'm A-Luo, Soul Spirit A-Luo!"
Bibi Dong introduced herself as well. "Hello, A-Luo. My name is Bibi Dong!"
Then the two of them started playing together.
"..." Qian Yufeng felt that A-Luo was a social butterfly. In just a few words, she could become fast friends with someone she had only just met.
Being cute really was the best pass. There was some truth to that.
Bibi Dong did not know what a Soul Spirit was, but she found A-Luo quite interesting. Not only was she adorable, she was fun too.
When it was time to eat, the two little ones brought a different kind of joy to the dining table.
After lunch ended pleasantly, Qian Yufeng felt much more at ease.
He seemed to remember that it had been a long time since he had been this happy.
After lunch, Bibi Dong went home. She still had her own lessons to attend to.
A-Luo, however, said to Qian Yufeng, "There are two very powerful guys inside little sister Dong'er's body, but they make me feel uncomfortable."
Qian Yufeng was secretly surprised. Bibi Dong was a super genius with two top-tier beast Martial Souls.
The Death Spider Emperor and Soul-Eater Spider Emperor were indeed Martial Souls of an evil attribute.
Otherwise, she would not have been chosen by the Rakshasa God as an inheritor.
But A-Luo could actually sense Bibi Dong's Martial Souls. That was rather strange.
"A-Luo, how did you sense them?" he asked.
A-Luo landed on his shoulder and said, "A-Feng, there's a very holy power in your body, and it's very domineering too. It won't let A-Luo look."
Qian Yufeng naturally knew how powerful his Martial Soul was. The Aurora Shield was part of the Emperor Armor, so of course it would not allow anyone to probe it without permission.
"After A-Luo woke up, I could see these things," she said again.
Qian Yufeng was quite surprised. Had A-Luo awakened this ability after absorbing the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid?
Wouldn't that make her a walking Martial Soul appraisal machine?!
He cautioned her, "A-Luo, without my permission, don't casually inspect other people's Martial Souls. That's rude, understand?!"
"A-Luo understands. I'm going back to rest first!" After saying that, A-Luo returned to Qian Yufeng's spiritual world once more.
After thinking it over, Qian Yufeng decided to make a trip to the Worship Hall.
"Lingxin, Lingsu, I'm going to the Worship Hall. Rest well at home and consolidate your auras."
With that, he got up and left.
When he arrived at the Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu was still maintaining a devout posture before the Angel God Statue.
Qian Yufeng said, "Nephew, aren't you concerned about your son's marriage?"
"Second Uncle, didn't you return this time specifically to help him solve that problem?" Qian Daoliu replied without turning around.
"Are you afraid he won't be satisfied with the daughter-in-law you picked out?"
"You don't understand that boy at all. Back when he was in school, quite a few female students had crushes on him!"
Qian Yufeng smiled. The men of the Six-Winged Angel Lineage were all handsome and charismatic, while the women were exceptionally beautiful, noble, and elegant.
"He bears resentment toward me, and he can make his own decisions regarding marriage. I'm not worried," Qian Daoliu said again. He still understood his son very well.
"You... after all these years, why are you still like this? Why can't you get past this hurdle in your heart?" Qian Yufeng asked again.
Qian Daoliu sighed. "Those involved cannot see clearly, while onlookers see best. Some things cannot be explained in just a few words."
He asked in return, "Second Uncle, you didn't come here just to chat with me about family matters, did you?"
"The families in Spirit City have started putting pressure on Great Grandson. His response has been decent. He chose to resolve it through balance, but the current financial issues show that this has only dealt with the surface problem."
Qian Yufeng explained why he had come. The silent struggle between the Pope of Spirit City and those families had already begun.
"This is something every Pope experiences upon taking office. Xunji's methods and temperament are not lacking. He will handle the matter perfectly."
"Those people will consider the bigger picture. They will not do anything that harms Spirit Hall."
Qian Daoliu's tone was rather calm. Having weathered so many storms over the years, he understood many things. He had truly grown tired of being Pope.
"You really are..." Qian Yufeng was speechless. Great Worship's attitude was far too detached.
He changed the subject and asked, "My ninth Soul Ring is complete. A hundred-thousand-year one. How long do you think it will take me to cultivate to your level?"
"After level ninety-five, the focus is on comprehension of one's realm. As long as you understand it, your Soul Power will rise quickly. Second Uncle, your aptitude is not bad. I estimate you can reach level ninety-five in fifty years and level ninety-eight in a hundred years."
Qian Daoliu spoke slowly. He himself had only reached the limit of Soul Master cultivation because of a god's blessing.
The drawback was immense. He could not break through to the legendary level one hundred.
Of the three supreme powerhouses, he and Bo Saixi had both received a god's blessing. Only Tang Chen had a chance to take that final step.
"Unless I encounter some fortuitous opportunity, it'll take a hundred years?!" Qian Yufeng was still rather surprised.
The cultivation rules of this world were truly strange. Fortunately, he had activated his cheat in time.
As if on cue, the system's voice rang out at that moment:
"Ding, it has been detected that the host has come into contact with Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu!" "System mission issued: defy heaven and change fate!" "defy heaven and change fate: Change Qian Daoliu's fate of dying while inheriting the Angel God Position, revive the Six-Winged Angel Lineage, and achieve four generations under one roof." "Mission reward: Activate the second Martial Soul, Emperor Armor!" "The designated support item [Soul Cultivation Method] has been issued."
