Get Out!

"Why would I kill you?"

Qian Renxue tilted her head, asking with a puzzled expression.

Huh? She wasn't going to kill me?

Realizing the misunderstanding, Chen Qi gave a silly, awkward laugh.

"Haha, Master, I was just joking."

Qian Daoliu frowned, looking at Chen Qi with a serious expression as he asked, "As a spirit, why can't you be retracted by Xue'er?"

Chen Qi looked at Qian Daoliu and slowly formed a question mark in his mind.

You're asking me, but who should I ask? If I had a choice, I wouldn't have come to the Douluo Continent in the first place!

Just thinking about the bunch of love-struck fools in Spirit Hall, along with that pair of dead-brained master and disciple, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, gave him a headache.

Chen Qi ranted frantically in his heart. Being a transmigrator without freedom was one thing, but the main issue was ending up in the Douluo Continent; back in the day, he had been San Shao's number one hater.

"Uh, Great Protector, if I say I don't know, would you believe me?"

"How did you know my identity?"

???

Weren't people in the Douluo Continent supposed to be simple-minded and obsessed with romance?

How did Qian Daoliu instantly spot the loophole in his words?

If he angered Qian Daoliu, even being Qian Renxue's spirit wouldn't save him from the consequences.

Chen Qi's brain raced, and he quickly came up with an excuse.

"Great Protector, listen to my... no, wait, let me explain. Since I am the Master's spirit, it's only natural that I possess some of her memories."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu nodded; it was indeed normal for a spirit to obtain some of its master's memories.

Seeing this, Chen Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief. His life had been spared once again.

"Then, Grandfather, how should we handle him?"

Qian Renxue stepped forward and asked.

Qian Daoliu recalled the scene where Qian Renxue had walked behind him, and Chen Qi had teleported to her side.

This meant that Chen Qi was bound to stay by Qian Renxue's side, and the fact that he couldn't be retracted as a spirit was truly speechless.

"Sigh, I'm afraid you'll have to bear with him, Xue'er."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue pointed at herself with her finger.

Huh? Me?

She looked at the figure beside her, who was half a head taller than she was, and a wave of discomfort arose out of nowhere.

Just looking at his face, he didn't seem like a good person.

If she were to follow in her mother's footsteps, wouldn't that be a disaster?

"Grandfather, are you really sure about this?"

Qian Daoliu clearly didn't catch the implication in Qian Renxue's words. He patted her shoulder and said earnestly, "Grandfather believes in you; you will definitely be able to handle your spirit well."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue gave Qian Daoliu a look of disdain. The conversation was completely on different wavelengths!

"Hmph! I'm ignoring you, Grandfather."

With that, Qian Renxue trotted away toward her room with her short legs.

Chen Qi, who hadn't yet recovered from his brush with death, was forced to continuously teleport to keep up with Qian Renxue.

"Stop following me!"

"My lady, it's quite obvious that this isn't my choice."

Chen Qi felt like crying. As a spirit, he couldn't leave his master's side by more than three meters; there was nothing he could do about it.

Ding, a change in Qian Renxue's favorability has been detected. Current favorability: 0/1000. Warning: Current favorability is too low. Please raise it as soon as possible, Host.

Looking at the system notification that suddenly rang out, Chen Qi felt like dying of laughter. Was he cursed by the heavens? It was either death or this; they might as well just finish him off.

On the main throne of the Pope Palace, the current Pope, Bibi Dong, sat with grace.

She wore a magnificent papal robe, which perfectly embodied the temperament of a queen.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei knelt respectfully before her.

"Your Holiness, there were some complications during the Young Master's spirit awakening today."

Gui Mei spoke in this manner, and upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's eyes lit up as she hurriedly asked, "Did she awaken my spirit?"

Yue Guan shook his head and added.

"It is indeed a Seraphim, but it differs somewhat from the usual martial soul."

Bibi Dong felt puzzled after hearing this; no matter how special a martial soul might be, it was still just a martial soul, not a living person.

"The Seraphim she awakened possesses sentience, just like a living human being."

It really was a person!

Had she gone mad, or had the world itself gone mad?

Bibi Dong rubbed her aching temples, recalling the martial soul of her old lover, Yu Xiaogang. It was some sort of external martial soul that looked like a little piglet; if you didn't tell someone it was a martial soul, no one would ever guess.

Perhaps Qian Renxue was facing a similar situation, possessing an external martial soul just like Yu Xiaogang's.

But why? Why should the Qian family be allowed to possess something unique to Xiaogang?

Bibi Dong felt a surge of anger, her hatred for Qian Renxue deepening even further.

"Then what is her innate soul power?"

"Level twenty."

What the hell?

Level twenty!

Was such a thing even possible in the world of soul masters? Even at the absolute peak, innate soul power was capped at level ten.

Bibi Dong's eyelid twitched visibly; this defied the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls established by her dear Xiaogang!

Because of the lack of a soul ring, no matter how monstrous a talent one might be, it was impossible to break through the limit of level ten.

Yet Qian Renxue was simply a monster; she had shattered this rule, becoming a unique monster among geniuses.

Why? Why should all this credit go to the Qian family? Why couldn't it be the child of her and Yu Xiaogang?

Bibi Dong believed that if she and Yu Xiaogang were to conceive, their child would undoubtedly be countless times stronger than Qian Renxue.

It was only because of the Qian family that she could not marry her beloved Xiaogang.

She gritted her teeth, her hatred for the Qian family and Qian Renxue growing ever stronger.

"The two of you, continue watching her. Report any intelligence immediately."

Qian Renxue's house stood beside a lake within Spirit Hall, a place once built for her by Qian Xunji himself.

She walked into the house and discarded her magnificent robes, wearing only a thin, comfortable nightgown underneath.

She looked at Chen Qi, the tag-along following her, and sighed.

"Although you are my martial soul, you must still follow the rules, understand?"

Chen Qi nodded. He had spent all his energy on the road just to pull her favorability back up; if he accidentally messed up again and caused it to drop, he might as well just die.

"Don't worry, Master, I would never offend you."

"You had better not. I'm going to take a bath; amuse yourself in the room."

With that, she headed toward the bathroom.

Chen Qi stood alone, curiously examining Qian Renxue's house.

It wasn't particularly large; compared to the multi-million dollar villas of his past life, this place was tiny.

There was only one bathroom, a study, and a living room connected to the bedroom—you could see the entire place at a single glance.

Qian Renxue's bedroom was far from what Chen Qi imagined a woman's bedroom to be: unmade quilts, clothes scattered everywhere, and leftover food on the table.

If someone told him Qian Renxue was a transmigrator, he would actually believe it.

Just as he was about to check out the study, his vision suddenly went black, and he felt something wet against his thighs.

Chen Qi looked down and saw a large expanse of snow-white skin appearing before his eyes.

Qian Renxue stared, face flushed, at the guy who had appeared out of thin air.

She had just finished drawing the water and was preparing to enjoy a good soak when this damned Chen Qi popped out and saw everything.

Chen Qi's mind went blank; according to modern rules, would he be strung up on the national power grid for this?

Seeing that Chen Qi refused to leave and kept his eyes fixed on places he shouldn't be looking, Qian Renxue became completely enraged, pointing at Chen Qi and screaming.

"You perverted hooligan, get out!"

Ding, a change in Qian Renxue's favorability has been detected. Current favorability: -100/1000. Warning: Host's favorability is too low. Please increase favorability immediately! Please increase favorability immediately!
