In the courtyard.
Hu Liena had long since sensibly found an excuse to take her leave the moment Qian Daoliu bestowed the spirit bone.
She knew her status as the Saintess well; in front of a Peerless Douluo, she still had to maintain the proper decorum.
Seeing that no one was around, Qin Feng took the Golden Crocodile Dragon Right Leg Bone out of his ring once again.
The brilliant golden light instantly illuminated the entire courtyard.
Qin Feng closed his eyes and probed it with a wisp of his spirit power.
Violent energy surged into his body through his arm in an instant.
Qin Feng carefully sensed the skill attached to this spirit bone.
"Crush..."
He chewed on these two words repeatedly in his mouth.
He suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light erupting from them.
"This skill can actually make the next spirit skill released double in power!"
Qin Feng was ecstatic.
This was pure numerical beauty!
There were no flashy mechanics, just a simple and brutal doubling of power!
Combined with his already monstrous Thousand-Jin Dragon Fist, who among spirit masters of the same level could withstand a single punch?
Even against a high-level Spirit Douluo, he could blast them into smithereens with a single punch if he caught them off guard!
"This time, the stats are truly maxed out!"
Qin Feng put the spirit bone away, feeling thoroughly satisfied.
The night breeze blew, bringing a chill.
Looking at the empty courtyard, Qin Feng suddenly realized something.
He recalled the series of actions Qian Daoliu had just taken, as well as that meaningful look in his eyes.
His mind suddenly cleared.
"That old geezer!"
"Giving me such a top-tier spirit bone for no reason, and specifically telling me to go find Qian Renxue!"
"How is this cherishing talent?"
"This is clearly lusting after my body, wanting me to be his grandson-in-law!"
Qin Feng slapped his thigh, unable to stop himself from complaining aloud.
"That old thing, running out in the middle of the night, he really ruined my good time!"
"Nana's mood was just right earlier; I was one step away from heading into the room to discuss life."
"But because he meddled, it all went down the drain!"
Qin Feng rolled his eyes, feeling a wave of regret in his heart.
With nothing better to do, Qin Feng moved his mind and opened the chat group in his head.
A screen full of messages popped up instantly.
Skipping over the trivial chatter.
Qin Feng curled his lips and typed a line directly into the input box.
He clicked send without hesitation.
[Douluo People Don't Deceive Douluo People]: "The untold love story of the Spirit Hall Grand Pontiff!"
As soon as this message appeared, the chat group, which had been quite active, instantly fell into a brief, deathly silence.
Meanwhile.
Spirit City, Pope Palace.
Inside the magnificent and towering hall, candlelight flickered.
Bibi Dong sat upright on the Pope's throne, which symbolized supreme power.
She held a scepter inlaid with gems, her stunning face appearing exceptionally majestic in the shadows.
Just then, the heavy doors were slowly pushed open.
A tall, upright figure stepped inside.
Bibi Dong frowned slightly, her gaze shooting toward the newcomer like lightning.
"What business brings the Grand Pontiff to the Pope Palace late at night?"
Qian Daoliu stopped at the bottom of the steps, his hands behind his back, his expression calm.
"I have come to inform you of something."
His tone was calm, yet it carried an overbearing sense of pressure.
"I hold the child Qin Feng in high regard."
"I have already decided to make him Xiaoxue's husband."
Upon hearing this, the hand Bibi Dong used to grip her scepter tightened abruptly.
Her knuckles turned slightly white from the force.
A surge of intense displeasure welled up in her heart.
"Qian Daoliu!"
"Qin Feng is the leading figure of our Spirit Hall's younger generation."
"With just one word, you intend to decide his life's major event?"
"Qian Renxue is currently infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire; such a major matter is far too reckless!"
Bibi Dong harbored deep resistance and loathing toward Qian Renxue.
That name was like a thorn stuck in her heart.
But regardless, she was still her own flesh and blood.
Her own daughter was getting married, and she, the Pope and mother, was merely being notified?
Qian Daoliu lifted his chin slightly, his gaze indifferent as he looked at Bibi Dong.
"I have already made the decision regarding this matter."
"Qin Feng's talent and strength are peerless in this world; only he is worthy of Xiaoxue."
"I came here tonight only to inform you, not to seek your consent."
Qian Daoliu's tone was domineering to the extreme.
There was absolutely no possibility of discussion or opposition regarding this matter.
As his voice fell, Qian Daoliu did not spare Bibi Dong another glance.
He turned and walked straight out of the Pope Palace.
Inside the great hall, a deathly silence returned.
Bibi Dong slammed her scepter heavily against the floor tiles.
It emitted a dull thud.
"What a fine Grand Pontiff!"
"Relying on his strength and seniority, he dares to treat this Pope as if I were nothing!"
Her chest heaved violently, and she took several deep breaths before barely managing to suppress the rage in her heart.
Following that came a wave of intense curiosity.
"What kind of ability does this Qin Feng actually possess?"
"To be so highly recognized by the arrogant Qian Daoliu?"
"To the point that he would even marry off his most precious granddaughter to him?"
Bibi Dong was agitated.
With a thought, she opened the chat group in her mind.
Looking at the screen full of messages, the knot in her heart deepened.
The group owner with the nickname "Douluo People Don't Deceive Douluo People" was truly detestable.
She, the dignified Pope of Spirit Hall, had asked so many questions in the group earlier.
This person actually dared to ignore her!
He didn't even reply with a single punctuation mark!
"This Pope still has so many questions about the future that need him to answer!"
"And he has the nerve to treat this Pope like air?"
Bibi Dong bit her red lip, feeling distressed.
Just as she was about to exit, a new message suddenly popped up at the bottom of the screen.
[Douluo People Don't Deceive Douluo People]: "The untold love story of the Spirit Hall Grand Pontiff!"
Seeing this line, Bibi Dong's eyes lit up instantly.
Qian Daoliu's love story?
That old fellow who was always high and mighty, boasting of being invincible in the sky—he actually had gossip to be heard?
Bibi Dong sat up straight, a smile appearing at the corners of her mouth.
Her mood instantly turned from overcast to sunny.
"This is truly too interesting."
"This Seat must certainly take a good look at such a fine show!"
At the same time, everyone else in the chat group also noticed this explosive message.
Heaven Dou Empire, Crown Prince Mansion.
In an extremely secret underground chamber.
Qian Renxue had already shed the disguise of Xue Qinghe.
A head of long, golden hair cascaded down to her slender waist like a waterfall.
Her skin was as crystalline as jade, and her stunningly beautiful face was breathtaking under the lamplight.
She was sitting at a table, examining the contents of the chat group.
Seeing the message sent by the group leader, she was completely stunned.
Her beautiful eyes widened, her face filled with astonishment.
"Grandfather's love story?"
Since she was a child, the Grand Pontiff had been a god-like existence in her heart.
Majestic, solemn, and always appearing as calm as an ancient well.
She had never once heard that her grandfather had ever had a love story!
