Journey

Hearing this, Chen Qi scratched his head. Wasn't this how everyone else cultivated?

Endless spiritual energy naturally surged into his body, and his cultivation level rose as easily as drinking water.

"Maybe so."

"Haha, this is a new function added by the Lord for Xue'er. Within fifteen years, Xue'er will surely become a god!"

Qian Daoliu suddenly burst into laughter, sharing his thoughts with the other titled elders.

Upon hearing this, the others wore expressions of sudden realization.

So that was it. If it was the Angel God, then it was no surprise.

With such talent, it would only be a matter of time before Xue'er became a god, and Spirit Hall would certainly unify the world.

The elders thought to themselves, already viewing Qian Renxue as the Angel God; after all, it was bound to happen sooner or later, so getting used to it early was perfectly reasonable.

"Hehe, I didn't expect little Xue to be this impressive already. It won't be long before you surpass your Fifth Grandfather."

Qian Renxue looked at Light Feather Douluo, who appeared to be the same age as her, and felt speechless.

So what if her strength surpassed his? Wasn't he still her grandfather?

"Fifth Grandfather, please don't tease me. Even if I become a Supreme God, you will all still be my dearest grandfathers."

Qian Renxue's words were like the sun over a glacier, melting away their frozen hearts.

They looked at Qian Renxue, hot tears welling up in their eyes.

Bibi Dong was simply a beast!

To abandon such a wonderful child—what on earth was so good about Sima Yu Xiaogang!

Light Feather Douluo sighed, patted Qian Renxue on the shoulder, and nodded.

"With those words from you, Grandfather can rest easy."

The scene of harmony between the grandfather and granddaughter made Chen Qi beam with a doting smile; he loved these kinds of moments.

Perhaps only at home and here could Qian Renxue safely set aside her identity as the Young Master of Spirit Hall and truly be Qian Renxue.

It was truly beautiful!

"Then, can you grandfathers grant me one request?"

As soon as these words were spoken, none of the elders objected; they all looked at Qian Renxue in unison and said.

"Little Xue, never mind one request, even if it were ten thousand, we would grant them all to you."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue smiled happily and said.

"I want to travel across the continent!"

"Pfft!"

Chen Qi was stunned; he never imagined Qian Renxue would have such an idea.

If she wanted to go, that was one thing, but the problem was that he, Chen Qi, was Qian Renxue's martial soul!

Leaving Spirit Hall to encounter all sorts of strangers of questionable character, spending every day in the wilderness or wandering the streets—wouldn't his familiar eaves and cozy little bed be gone forever?

For a shut-in like him, this was a devastating blow!

"No! Master, absolutely not!"

Before the elders, who were already frowning in disapproval, could speak, Chen Qi stepped in to stop Qian Renxue's impractical idea.

"Why?"

Qian Renxue tilted her head and looked at Chen Qi, asking in confusion.

"Master, just think about it. The outside world is full of soul masters of unknown origin. If you get hurt by accident, what should we do?"

"Chen Qi, I'm not going to participate in soul fights. I just want to travel around the Douluo Continent and make some friends."

"Can you handle days where you go hungry, days without a house to live in, and days without a hot bath?"

Regarding the first two questions, Qian Renxue's expression didn't change, but upon hearing about the lack of hot baths, she began to hesitate.

She could skip meals and ignore her appearance, but she couldn't go without a bath!

Lying in a bathtub filled with water was incredibly comfortable, washing away the exhaustion of the entire day.

However, thinking about it carefully, if she stayed in Spirit Hall until she became a god, she would look back and realize she had no friends—only a group of old men. That wouldn't be very prestigious when she ascended to the God Realm!

"Well... I can accept that."

It was over, everything was over. Even the non-negotiable requirement of bathing had been accepted by Qian Renxue; there was no point in saying anything more.

Chen Qi's future was pitch black.

"Xue'er, you are still so young; traveling the continent is too dangerous."

Qian Daoliu sighed and spoke to Qian Renxue gently.

Qian Renxue shook her head and replied.

"Grandfather, I am already a two-ring Great Soul Master. In some small cities, I am practically invincible. Besides, I have Chen Qi with me, so how could any problems arise?"

"Sigh~ Since you have already made your decision, I will not force you otherwise."

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's agreement, the other titled elders opened their mouths, wanting to speak but holding back.

They did not approve; traveling the continent was too dangerous. What if she was led astray by that little blond brat?

Hearing Qian Daoliu's consent, Qian Renxue jumped up and down in excitement.

"Heehee, Grandpa is the best!"

"However, Xue'er, you must wait until you are eight years old before you can go traveling. Until then, stay obediently in Spirit Hall."

Hearing Qian Daoliu's restriction, the elders collectively breathed a sigh of relief. If not for that added age limit, they would have thought Qian Daoliu had been brainwashed.

Chen Qi looked at Qian Daoliu and silently gave him a thumbs-up.

As expected of Qian Renxue's own grandfather; this move of agreeing while simultaneously disagreeing was something ordinary people couldn't learn.

Beyond her joy, Qian Renxue felt somewhat unwilling upon hearing this, as she had been prepared to leave within the next two days.

As it turned out, one sentence from Qian Daoliu forced her to postpone her plans for two years.

"Grandpa, wouldn't it be fine if you let Second Grandpa accompany me?"

"No. Xue'er, you are too young. Even with a powerhouse following you, it won't do. This matter is settled; if you want to travel, wait until after you are eight."

Qian Renxue lowered her brows; her travel plans had failed.

Chen Qi looked at the dispirited Qian Renxue and comforted her with a smile.

"Master, don't be sad. The Grand Elder is doing this for your own good. There will always be opportunities in the future."

For Chen Qi, as long as she didn't leave immediately, there was no problem. As for two years later, it wouldn't be too late to make plans then.

Qian Renxue could only nod helplessly upon hearing this, though she simultaneously steeled her resolve. Since she had to leave two years later, she would spend these two years frantically improving her strength, striving to become the strongest of the younger generation.

She bid a brief farewell to the elders and then trotted home; she was going to settle down and cultivate now.

However, Qian Renxue did not know that she was already the strongest. Even twelve years later, when Tang San entered Shrek, his strength would still not be a match for the current Qian Renxue.

Even if she were to lose, she had Chen Qi to back her up. The power of a Ten-Winged Angel was not something those trash spirits could compare to.

In the evening in Spirit City, Qian Renxue came to the city as usual to buy the latest published novels.

What? You ask why she wasn't cultivating?

Then you are asking a bit too much.

Chen Qi looked at the novel in Qian Renxue's hand, titled something like The Overbearing Sect Master Falls in Love With Me, which would be an explosive existence even back on Blue Star.

"Master, don't you think this type of novel lowers one's intelligence?"

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at Chen Qi and said, "None of your business! This young lady will read whatever she wants!"

In front of a restaurant ahead, an extremely small figure stared inside.

Drool flowed down uncontrollably.

"Master, look, there seems to be a child over there!"
