Qian Renxue: Tie Me Up Again! Nan Feng: You've Seriously Got Something Wrong with You

Nan Feng walked away without looking back.

Only Qian Renxue remained in the pavilion, fuming helplessly.

Refusing to accept it, she forcefully exerted herself in an attempt to break free, but the Spider Silk was absurdly resilient.

Whenever she struggled, the Spider Silk stretched along with her.

But the moment she slackened and eased off, it instantly rebounded, tightening even more than before!

The more she struggled, the deeper it bit into her!

Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and simply activated the Six-Winged Angel's Sacred Soul Power again, trying to burn through this damned web in one go.

However, the despair from last night repeated itself.

The moment the Sacred Fire touched it, the crystalline Spider Silk became like a greedy sponge, instantly devouring her Soul Power and turning into a pale golden Holy Spider Web!

Qian Renxue was completely out of options. She could only stand there like a deflated ball. Looking around, she blushed and called out in a low voice:

"Grandpa..."

She did not dare shout too loudly, afraid that patrol guards would come over and see her in this pathetic state, twisted up like a bundle of rope.

As soon as her voice fell, Qian Daoliu silently emerged from the shadows beneath the trees.

"Grandpa, I was careless again..." Qian Renxue's little face was flushed red, and she wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground.

Qian Daoliu did not blame her. Instead, he stepped forward and studied the pale golden Spider Silk wrapped around her with amazement. "Unthinkable."

Qian Renxue froze. "What is it?"

"The properties of this Spider Silk have actually been directly assimilated into the sacred attribute."

Looking at the golden light flowing across the surface of the silk, Qian Daoliu said gravely, "This thing absorbed your Soul Power, so in essence, it has already become something formed from your own power. The purifying and dissolving effects of sacred energy naturally cannot work against the sacred attribute itself."

Qian Renxue was stunned. "Assimilation? How could that be possible? Could this Spider Silk itself be attribute-less?"

"Not only you—even I cannot make sense of it."

Qian Daoliu shook his head and admitted, "I did not expect him to strike at you directly either. In fact, until you realized you had been tied up, I had not noticed when he released the Spider Silk."

"At such a young age, he already has such silent methods. Quite sinister."

Qian Renxue was truly beginning to doubt her life. "Even you couldn't see how he made his move? Then what am I supposed to do?"

Qian Daoliu said nothing. He merely extended a finger and tentatively touched one strand of pale golden Spider Silk.

The instant he made contact, he sharply sensed that this thing was actually trying to draw in even his Soul Power!

It seemed that anyone who touched it would have their Soul Power forcibly siphoned away.

"Interesting, but that is all."

Qian Daoliu withdrew his finger, and a dazzling mass of sacred radiance suddenly surged into his palm.

Both were sacred energy, but Qian Renxue's Soul Power as a two-ring Soul Grandmaster and the sacred energy of Qian Daoliu, a level ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo, were worlds apart!

That golden light enveloped Qian Renxue.

The next second, the previously incomparably tough Spider Silk was washed over by the golden light and instantly vaporized and dissolved like lingering snow beneath the blazing sun, vanishing without a trace!

Qian Renxue regained her freedom, but her face was full of confusion.

"Grandpa, didn't you just say that sacred energy cannot purify Holy Spider Silk with the same attribute?"

"That is under the premise that the gap in strength between both sides is not too great."

Qian Daoliu patiently explained, "It is like two fire-attributed Soul Masters of similar strength attacking each other. Neither can burn the other to death. But if a Soul Grandmaster and a Titled Douluo set fire to each other, the former's flames would be instantly suppressed, and both the person and the fire would be reduced to ash."

"This Spider Silk grew stronger by absorbing your Soul Power, so your power could not suppress it."

Qian Daoliu patted his granddaughter's shoulder. "It is not inherently immune to sacred energy. It simply gained extremely high resistance because it shares the same origin. But that resistance has a limit."

"Against the impact of my Soul Power, it did not have time to devour and convert anything before exceeding its limit. Naturally, it was forcibly destroyed outright."

After hearing Qian Daoliu's explanation, Qian Renxue's expression became even stranger.

"But what if he used this Spider Silk on you?" Qian Renxue could not help asking. "If it grew stronger by devouring your Soul Power, wouldn't even you be unable to deal with it?"

Qian Daoliu shook his head. "Probably not."

"Since this Spider Silk grows stronger by silently devouring the target's Soul Power, its initial strength when first released must be very low. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for me to miss it entirely."

Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment, sorting through his thoughts. "Even if his Spider Silk can assimilate your sacred attribute, he himself does not possess the sacred attribute. As long as he uses his Martial Soul, there will inevitably be Soul Power fluctuations."

"But I sensed nothing just now. Even if I was careless and underestimated him, that still proves this thing is extremely well concealed."

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue. "If it focuses too much on concealment, its power will inevitably be lacking. If you had noticed it before it wrapped around you, then with Sacred Fire, you absolutely could have destroyed it instantly, just as I did."

"But..."

Qian Daoliu furrowed his brows slightly. "How exactly did he get past your line of sight and forcibly tie you up?"

Seeing even her omnipotent grandfather wear such a puzzled expression, Qian Renxue asked with a miserable face, "Then what do we do now?"

Qian Daoliu paused, his gaze turning somewhat subtle as he looked at his granddaughter. "To thoroughly understand the details of this Spider Silk, perhaps... you will have to let him tie you up once more."

"Ha?!"

Qian Renxue's expression stiffened, and her voice instantly rose. "Grandpa, I have my pride too!"

"The first time I was tied up, I didn't know what it could do. The second time, I was careless and underestimated him. If I go running over there a third time just to let him tie me up like a dumpling..."

Qian Renxue stomped her feet in frustration. "Do I have any dignity left?!"

Seeing his granddaughter in such a frantic state, Qian Daoliu could not help finding it a little amusing.

He patted Qian Renxue's head and added another blow in a meaningful tone. "But if you do not figure out how he did it, then from now on... you will never be able to do anything about that brat."

In the end, Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and persuaded herself.

Her grandfather was right. If she did not understand how this thing worked, she would never be able to deal with that brat in the future!

She took a deep breath and ran back to the Saintess Palace.

By then, Yue Guan had already led his people away after planting the flowers.

The once-charred ground had once again bloomed with exotic flowers and strange plants.

Nan Feng was squatting beside the flowerbed, leaning close to smell the flowers.

Although the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was filled with Immortal Herb treasures, he had truly never seen the rare varieties Yue Guan had brought over.

The fragrance was delicate and refreshing, carrying a cool scent that soothed the heart. It was not cloyingly sweet in the slightest, perfectly matching his tastes.

Just as he was leisurely admiring the flowers, Qian Renxue jogged over.

Nan Feng turned to glance at her and laughed. "Hm? You got out that quickly? Did you really swallow your pride and call for help?"

Qian Renxue's little face reddened. Pretending not to hear him, she gritted her teeth and made her demand. "Tie me up again! This time, I definitely won't fall for it!"

Nan Feng looked at her as though she were insane. "Are you sick?"

With that, he could not be bothered to deal with her and turned to leave.

Qian Renxue hurriedly chased after him. She instinctively reached out to grab him, but halfway through, she abruptly pulled her hand back.

What if this little brat relies on physical contact to pull something like this? I absolutely can't touch him!

With a light tap of her toes, she performed a neat forward flip over Nan Feng, spread her arms, and blocked his path.

"Wait!"
