Grandaunt?

While Feng Baiyu was cultivating, Feng Qingluan brought War Eagle home.

Seeing the two of them chatting and laughing, Feng Baiyu's eyebrow twitched.

Could Grandpa's heart of stone finally be blooming?

Feng Baiyu's gaze moved between them. Then he suddenly thought it seemed perfectly normal.

His grandfather was the Third Offering of Spirit Hall, one of the strongest people in the world. So what if he found himself a wife?

"Grandpa, you're back." Feng Baiyu greeted his grandfather, then turned to the lady beside him and said with a straight face, "Grandpa's never brought a lady home before. Big sister, you're the first special exception."

Hearing Feng Baiyu's words, War Eagle blushed. Then she said crossly, "You little rascal, now you're even teasing your grandaunt?"

"Huh?" Feng Baiyu froze, then asked in surprise, "Grandaunt?"

"Ahem." Feng Qingluan cleared his throat and said, "Baiyu, this is War Eagle. Your grandmother, Zhan Ling, was her biological older sister."

"Uh..." Hearing his grandfather's introduction, Feng Baiyu's mind stalled.

They were relatives?

He quietly used [Fire Phoenix True Sight] to examine her identity, but his Soul Power ran out after he gleaned only a little useful information.

[Name]: Zhan Ling

[Martial Soul]: Blazing Spirit Kite

[Age]: Sixty-two years old.

[Cultivation]: Level 90 Quasi-Title Douluo

Feng Baiyu's Soul Power was far weaker than War Eagle's, so he couldn't uncover any more useful information.

Feng Baiyu lowered his head without drawing attention to himself. The future Spirit Kite Douluo was his grandaunt?

His grandfather had never mentioned her before!

And this grandaunt was named War Eagle? Was that really her name and not a nickname?

Feng Baiyu couldn't help thinking of War Lao from his past life...

"Third Offering, this grandson of yours has a lot on his mind!" Seeing Feng Baiyu with his head lowered, War Eagle thought he was about to stir up trouble again. She turned to Feng Qingluan and said, "Still, his talent is pretty good. He'll be a Soul Grandmaster before long."

"Heh, he's all right." Feng Qingluan didn't say anything about his grandson's circumstances, but he was quite pleased to hear his sister-in-law praise him.

"Baiyu will soon advance to Soul Grandmaster. I'm planning to take him out for some experience." Feng Qingluan looked at War Eagle. "If you're willing, we can set off together. I can help you hunt for a Soul Ring while we're at it."

War Eagle had no objections. She quickly said, "Thank you, Third Offering."

The ninth Soul Ring was crucial for a Titled Douluo. If she went hunting with others on her own, she'd only be able to get a Soul Ring around sixty or seventy thousand years old. With the Third Offering's help, she might even dare hope for one eighty or ninety thousand years old!

However, the price of asking the Third Offering for help wouldn't be small. She'd probably have to empty her entire purse.

Feng Baiyu recovered a little Soul Power. As the two chatted, he studied them.

They were talking about events from the past few years, and Feng Baiyu learned that War Eagle had spent all that time in the [Lost Canyon].

But that wasn't the point!

He realized he'd been mistaken. His grandaunt didn't seem to have any feelings for her brother-in-law.

Two hours later, War Eagle rose to leave. Before departing, she looked at Feng Baiyu and said, "Baiyu, come by my place when you have time over the next few days. I brought back lots of presents. You can pick out a few you like."

"Okay, I understand." Feng Baiyu said, "Goodbye, Grandaunt."

War Eagle rolled her eyes at Feng Baiyu and turned to leave.

After War Eagle was gone, Feng Qingluan looked at his grandson and said crossly, "You little rascal, now you're even teasing your grandfather!"

"How was I supposed to know she was your sister-in-law?" Feng Baiyu shifted the blame. "My grandmother passed away before I was born, and you never told me she had relatives. Besides... a brother-in-law and his wife's younger sister—there's a ninety-nine percent chance! They say a man's sister-in-law is half his backside. If you wanted to marry again, I wouldn't object."

"You!"

Hearing his grandson continue to tease him, Feng Qingluan was so angry he wanted to grab Feng Baiyu and spank him.

In the end, though, he held back.

"When I married your grandmother, Zhan Ling, War Eagle hadn't even been born yet." Feng Qingluan began reminiscing. "It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I watched her grow up."

"Decades ago, when I reached Level 90 and went to hunt for my ninth Soul Ring, your grandmother sacrificed herself to save me. After that, my relationship with the Zhan Family turned sour." Feng Qingluan smiled bitterly. "My father-in-law was from the same generation as Golden Crocodile Douluo. He was already Level 98 back then. Even after I became a Titled Douluo, I was nothing special in his eyes."

"After your grandmother passed away, my relationship with the Zhan Family was completely severed. So there was no need to tell you about them." Feng Qingluan looked at his grandson. "If I hadn't run into War Eagle today, I wouldn't have told you we had relatives like that."

"I see." Hearing his grandfather explain the feud between the two families, Feng Baiyu quickly understood what had happened.

"Grandma's death wasn't your fault. You didn't deliberately cause it. The Soul Beast was to blame, so they shouldn't have held it against you." Feng Baiyu shook his head and said, "But your father-in-law's bones have been cold for decades. It's time to let go of the old grudges."

"As for this grandaunt..." Feng Baiyu looked up at his grandfather and said, "I'll say it again: if you've fallen for her, just go after her. I won't object."

"I'm already this old. Do you really think I'm going to find you another grandmother?" Feng Qingluan glanced at his grandson and said, "What, should I give you a little uncle too?"

"Pfft." Feng Baiyu rolled his eyes at his grandfather and said indifferently, "If you've still got it in you, I won't stop you."

As a relative who was a Quasi-Title Douluo, War Eagle was someone Feng Baiyu wanted to get to know. But if his grandfather wasn't interested, he wouldn't try to force a match.

"What's gotten into me?" Feng Baiyu suddenly froze. "Why am I suddenly trying to find Grandpa a wife?"

As expected of the place where the God of Love fell. The Continent of Love lived up to its name!

The next day, Feng Qingluan took Feng Baiyu to the Zhan Family home.

The Zhan Family was an established clan of some standing in Spirit City. Their residence was every bit as grand as the Feng Family's, if not more so.

War Eagle was naturally the strongest member of the Zhan Family. Apart from her, the family had two Soul Douluos: War Eagle's older brother, Zhan Kuang, and Zhan Kuang's son, Zhan Lie.

When Feng Qingluan brought Feng Baiyu to call on the family, Zhan Kuang and Zhan Lie opened the main gate wide and warmly invited them inside.

Feng Qingluan was a Level 97 Titled Douluo. The Zhan Family had no one who could match him, so even Zhan Kuang didn't dare call Feng Qingluan "brother-in-law."

"Your Excellency Qingluan and Young Master Feng, your visit brings honor to my humble home." Wearing an ingratiating expression, Zhan Kuang led them inside, as servile as could be.

It was the difference in strength that made him act this way. Even though Feng Qingluan and Feng Baiyu didn't need him to bow and scrape, he was more than happy to do so.

Zhan Kuang wasn't a fool. He knew this was a chance to repair the Zhan Family's relationship with the Feng Family.

If the Zhan Family could gain another Titled Douluo and make peace with the Feng Family, their standing in Spirit City would rise dramatically!

"What's the point of all this fancy nonsense!"
