The Boomerang Came Back to Hit Him

"Bang!"

A dull thud echoed, as if something had been slammed heavily onto a table.

"Nonsense! This is absolutely preposterous!"

Bibi Dong's voice trembled slightly with rage. "You are the Young Master of Spirit Hall, flowing with the blood of an Angel. How can you treat your future and your marriage as such a child's game?"

"What commoner researching spirit theory? Do you even know what kind of idle, delusional fool that is? End this ridiculous notion immediately!"

"From this day forward, you are not to mention him again, nor are you to see that person! Otherwise..."

The rest of her words were drowned out by even harsher reprimands and the sound of Qian Renxue's stifled sobs, yet the air was thick with the fury of an impending storm.

Even Poseinan, hiding outside the door to eavesdrop, felt a chill run down his spine.

After Qian Renxue left, Bibi Dong found herself stunned.

Why did those words sound so familiar?

In a daze, a face she loathed beyond measure surfaced in her mind.

The same tone, the same words...

It was as if someone were mocking Bibi Dong's own overestimation of her abilities.

Bibi Dong's complexion turned ashen, and she frantically told herself in the depths of her heart, No, Xiao Gang is different from the others!

How old is Xiao Xue this year?

How could she possibly understand such words?

Could it be that someone coaxed Xiao Xue into coming here to say this on purpose?

"Damn it!"

"Ghost, go investigate who has been in close contact with Xiao Xue recently!"

"Yes!"

A short while later, the door to the side hall was flung open.

Qian Renxue rushed out, tear tracks crisscrossing her small face. She was crying even harder than before, but her purple eyes were noticeably brighter.

She spotted Poseinan behind the pillar at a glance.

Without a word, she ran over, grabbed his wrist, and dragged him away with surprising strength.

The two ran all the way to the quiet corner of the courtyard from before.

Only then did Qian Renxue let go. She turned her back to Poseinan, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Poseinan leaned in, tilting his head to look at her. "Well? Didn't I tell you? Wasn't your mother so concerned she was practically spitting fire?"

Qian Renxue turned around, her eyes and nose red, looking like a wronged little kitten.

She stared at Poseinan, her voice muffled. "She was so angry, she scolded me, and ordered me never to think about it again... But, but she has never reacted this strongly to anything regarding me before..."

Although she felt wronged, she also felt happy.

Because for the first time in her life, her mother had scolded her in the name of love.

Instead of just telling her to get out without a word, as she had always done in the past.

"Doesn't that prove it?"

Poseinan spread his hands. "If she didn't care who you ended up with or what you became, would she have gotten so angry?"

"They say love runs deep, so the scolding is harsh... er, although her way of expressing it is a bit unique, huh."

He managed to swallow the word "awkward" just in time.

Qian Renxue fell silent, lowering her head to scuff at the small pebbles on the ground with her toe.

She was clearly struggling to digest this intense proof.

"Hey, little crybaby, is the bet still on?"

Poseinan couldn't help but remind her. "Your mother's reaction is enough to prove she cares about you, right? So, about sending me to Sea God Island..."

Qian Renxue looked up, her purple eyes still misted with moisture, but she had already regained some of her usual imposing air.

She sniffled, her voice nasal, yet she tried hard to put on the airs of an older sister. "Hmph, even if... even if you were barely half-right, my grandfather was angered by you today. He definitely doesn't want to see you now, and he certainly won't listen to me to send you off."

Poseinan's small face fell instantly. "Ah? Then what do I do? You promised!"

"What's the rush?"

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at him. "I didn't say I wouldn't help, but at the very least, we have to wait until Grandfather's anger subsides."

"And when will your grandfather's anger subside?"

"I don't know... maybe a month? Maybe three or five years."

A flash of cunning crossed Qian Renxue's eyes.

In truth, if she wanted to send Poseinan to Sea God Island, a single word from her would be enough.

However, having finally encountered such an interesting little brother, how could she bear to send him away right now?

"At the very least, I have to wait... wait until he teaches me how to reconcile with Mother... then I can!"

Qian Renxue told herself.

"Fine!"

Poseinan squatted down with a look of frustration.

Hadn't he just wasted all that effort planning for Qian Renxue?

"Hey, do you really want to go to Sea God Island that much?"

"Of course."

As long as he went to Sea God Island, his spirit ring issues would be easily resolved, he would instantly gain the backing of the world's top power, and he wouldn't have to suffer her temper here. How could it be anything but good?

Seeing his dejected appearance, Qian Renxue was a bit puzzled: "Isn't it quite good here at our Spirit Hall? There's food and drink, and besides, with me as your sister, who would dare bully you?"

Poseinan rolled his eyes at her, as if to say:

The one bullying me is you, isn't it?

Qian Renxue felt a bit awkward and hurriedly changed the subject: "By the way, you said before that your father is the Sea God of the God Realm. Is that true?"

"Nonsense, what benefit would I get from lying to you?"

"Then can you tell me what the God Realm is like? To tell you the truth, I haven't even left Spirit City since I was a child!"

Having stayed in one place for so long, there wasn't a child who didn't yearn for life outside, and that was exactly how Qian Renxue felt now.

"Alright, I'll tell you. The God Realm is..."

Speaking of what he had seen and heard in the God Realm, Poseinan was also very excited; after all, it was the place where he had been born in this life.

Qian Renxue listened with great interest.

Talking plants and divine beasts, and Death God Hela, who could resurrect mortals with a wave of her hand...

Every single thing made the young girl, who had lived deep within Spirit Hall since childhood, incredibly excited.

Qian Renxue's eyes were filled with longing as she sighed: "Sigh, I really want to go to the God Realm and take a look."

Poseinan said softly: "There will be a chance..."

"Eh!!! Really?"

The little girl suddenly became extremely excited.

"Of course."

Facing the girl's beautiful vision of the future.

Poseinan nodded with a smile, unable to bear the thought of bursting this cruel bubble.

After all, she did eventually become the world-renowned Angel God.

However... it was only a trial card.

Qian Renxue's eyes curved into crescent moons as she looked at him with anticipation: "That's great! Poseinan, do you think that when I go to the God Realm, I can ask Sister Death God Hela to resurrect my father?"

The corners of Poseinan's mouth, which had been turned up, instantly collapsed.

He really wanted to shatter this fantasy.

But his reason told him that rather than directly bursting this bubble.

It would be better to let her keep this last bit of innocence.

After all, her life was truly too bitter.

So bitter that even Poseinan, who had experienced all kinds of hardships in his previous life, felt... sorrow.

"Hmm... I suppose so."

"That's wonderful! Thank you, Poseinan, thank you for telling me all this. Don't worry, once Grandfather's anger subsides, I will definitely have him send you to Sea God Island immediately!"

Qian Renxue smiled excitedly, then reached out... inching closer.

Finally, five chubby little fingers took hold of Poseinan's hand.

Feeling the soft touch in his palm.

Poseinan looked at her in confusion: "Hmm? What are you doing?"

"Going to eat, aren't you hungry?"

"But we're just going to eat, why are you holding my hand?"

"Hmph, what's it to you? You're my little brother, of course I have to look after you!"
