Rebuilding the Spirit Hall! Oh, Spirit Hall!

Ye Guyi gripped the hem of her clothes, her fingertips turning white, her face full of pain. "For thousands of years, the Holy Spirit Cult's pursuit has never ceased. To escape them, the Angel clan has hidden everywhere, our numbers dwindling more and more."

"When I was a child, the Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult found our hiding place. To keep me safe, my parents fought them to the death with every ounce of their soul power, only to be brutally murdered, leaving me all alone."

At this point, Ye Guyi's shoulders could not stop trembling, her eyes filled with nothing but hatred for the Evil Soul Masters.

Hearing this, the killing intent in Qian Daoliu's eyes could no longer be suppressed. "Heaven Dou Empire? Star Luo Empire? Tang Sect? Very well indeed!"

Bo Saixi, her heart aching, gently stroked Ye Guyi before taking Qian Daoliu's hand to comfort him. "Qian Daoliu, ten thousand years have already passed. Those people have long since returned to dust. What we must do now is live each day well!"

At these words, the killing intent on Qian Daoliu's body dissipated slightly.

Qian Daoliu knew Bo Saixi was right, but he simply could not swallow the fact that Spirit Hall had been destroyed at the hands of Qian Renxue.

It could even be said that he could not forgive himself for handing Spirit Hall over to Qian Renxue.

But what else could be done?

Since the matter was already a foregone conclusion, Qian Daoliu could only bear it in silence.

Finally, Qian Daoliu took a deep breath to calm his emotions, patted Bo Saixi's hand, and said to Ye Guyi on the hospital bed, "Guyi, rest well for now. When you wake up, this ancestor will have a surprise for you!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi could no longer hold back her tears and sobbed, "Yes!"

The two walked slowly out of the courtyard, the breeze cool and gentle.

Bo Saixi looked at the somber-faced Qian Daoliu, her eyes full of heartache as she asked softly, "Qian Daoliu, what do you intend to do next?"

Qian Daoliu tightened his grip on Bo Saixi's soft hand and said warmly, "The affairs of ten thousand years ago can be planned slowly, but the Holy Spirit Cult has slaughtered the Angel clan for a millennium—this debt must be repaid!"

"Also, Xixi, I intend to rebuild Spirit Hall!"

Bo Saixi was slightly startled at these words, then her gaze softened, and she nodded gently, leaning against Qian Daoliu's shoulder.

She fully supported Qian Daoliu's decision and was willing to stay by his side to help eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult, "and return peace to the billions of living beings on the Douluo Continent!"

As for assisting Qian Daoliu in rebuilding Spirit Hall, that was simply a case of a wife following her husband's lead.

The two stood side by side in the courtyard, quietly watching the surrounding scenery. The atmosphere was leisurely and tender, their mutual affection deepening as they prepared to share a quiet, intimate conversation.

Just then, Kong Deming's voice rang out abruptly, "Brother Qian, Bo Saixi!"

Qian Daoliu's brow furrowed instantly, his heart filled with displeasure as he said to Kong Deming, "Brother Kong, you are truly becoming less and less tactful!"

Bo Saixi, hearing this, felt a bit ashamed and tried to pull away from Qian Daoliu's embrace.

Seeing this, Qian Daoliu used his right hand to hold her shoulder firmly.

This caused Bo Saixi to blush with shyness.

Kong Deming realized he had once again ruined a good moment for Qian Daoliu.

He hurriedly apologized to Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi, "Brother Qian, Sister Bo Saixi, I am truly sorry."

"I am merely acting on someone's behalf. His Majesty has already set up a banquet in the adjacent palace and specifically asked me to invite you both!"

Qian Daoliu let out a cold snort, not wanting to pay any attention to Kong Deming, but thinking of what he intended to give Ye Guyi, he signaled for Bo Saixi to respond.

Bo Saixi caught Qian Daoliu's gaze and eased the atmosphere, saying, "Brother Kong, please lead the way!"

"Right away!"

Before long, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi followed Kong Deming to the palace where Xu Tianran had invited them.

This banquet was held in a buffet style.

Before Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi even stepped into the palace, they saw Xu Tianran waiting at the entrance, along with his Empress, Ju Zi.

Naturally, there was also the Mingde Hall Master, Jing Hongchen.

And the officials and nobles of the Sun Moon Empire.

Xu Tianran was the first to signal for Ju Zi to push his wheelchair forward to greet Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi.

Seeing an emperor show such courtesy, Qian Daoliu was quite moved and stepped forward to greet him, "Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu greets Your Majesty!"

"Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi greets Your Majesty!"

However, neither Qian Daoliu nor Bo Saixi made any move to bow.

This time, Jing Hongchen had no intention of provoking Qian Daoliu again.

Xu Tianran was flattered and immediately signaled for Ju Zi to stop. He placed his right hand over his chest and said to Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi, "Greetings to both Crowned Ones!"

"Please, come in, both of you!"

Subsequently, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi followed Xu Tianran into a private chamber.

Xu Tianran got straight to the point, signaling for a servant nearby to hand over two sets of tokens. "Two Crowned Ones, these are the Offering Tokens of the Offering Hall and the Prince Tokens of the Empire!"

Qian Daoliu's gaze fell upon the two tokens; they were made of warm, exquisite jade with intricate patterns, clearly items of extraordinary power, yet he still did not understand Xu Tianran's intention.

Qian Daoliu said, "Your Majesty, I wonder what this means? For the time being, Bo Saixi and I truly do not intend to join any faction!"

Qian Daoliu refused directly, not wanting to get entangled in this matter.

Hearing this, Xu Tianran felt somewhat disappointed. He exchanged a glance with Kong Deming before summoning his courage to say, "Your Excellencies have misunderstood! The Offering Hall is merely a nominal position within the Empire; it does not constitute joining the Empire itself! As for this Prince Token, it is simply to facilitate Your Excellencies' travels throughout the Sun Moon Empire!"

Seeing that Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi were still hesitant to accept the tokens, Xu Tianran cast a glance toward Kong Deming at his side.

Kong Deming understood immediately and urged them, "Brother Qian, Sister Bo Saixi, you should just accept them!"

"The Offering Hall truly does not participate in the daily affairs of the Empire; it only mobilizes during times of crisis to preserve the seeds of the Empire!"

"As for the other, the Prince Token, you may simply view it as a noble title bestowed by the Empire in gratitude for your meritorious service in eradicating the Holy Spirit Cult, a favor to benefit your descendants."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu felt a flicker of interest. Back in the day, Spirit Hall had been able to grant Elder Tokens to the Upper Three Sects.

Accepting this Offering Token seemed acceptable, though the Prince title was admittedly a bit of a hot potato.

But thinking of Ye Guyi, the descendant he had just found, Qian Daoliu ultimately transmitted a message to Bo Saixi.

In the end, they accepted the Offering Token but declined the Prince Token.

This left both Xu Tianran and Kong Deming feeling somewhat regretful.

However, Qian Daoliu's next words reignited their hope: "Your Majesty, Brother Kong, I would like to use these two Prince Tokens to ask a favor of you. What do you think?"

Seizing the opportunity, Xu Tianran promised him, "Please speak, Your Excellency. Not just one favor, but a hundred—as long as it is within my power, I will certainly fulfill it!"

Qian Daoliu informed Xu Tianran and Kong Deming about finding Ye Guyi.

Qian Daoliu said to them, "Your Majesty, Brother Kong, I would like to ask for your assistance in helping my descendant, Ye Guyi, rebuild Spirit Hall!"

Xu Tianran and Kong Deming exchanged a look, stunned at first, then overcome with joy: "Is that all!"

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the Empire will allocate sufficient funds to help Miss Ye Guyi rebuild Spirit Hall!"

The banquet concluded, and Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi, Xu Tianran, and Kong Deming parted ways.

In a brightly lit small room, Xu Tianran respectfully asked Kong Deming, "Elder Kong, I must trouble you to personally oversee the rebuilding of Spirit Hall!"

"It must be capable of rivaling Shrek Academy in terms of spirit master strength."

"If necessary, you may draw resources from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy!"

Kong Deming replied, "Understood!"

Xu Tianran gazed up at the starry sky, murmuring to himself, "The evil Holy Spirit Cult is gone, and now the righteous Spirit Hall has arrived. Heaven bless my Sun Moon Empire!"

Elsewhere, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi were strolling through the garden, hand in hand.

Bo Saixi suddenly stopped, stood before Qian Daoliu, and said with a serious tone, "Qian Daoliu, I feel that the name 'Spirit Hall' might invite unnecessary trouble!"

"Hmm!"

Qian Daoliu seemed to have realized something as well, so he asked her, "Xixi, what do you suggest?"

After a moment of thought, Bo Saixi analyzed, "I think it would be better to call it the Soul Hall for the time being!"

"We can wait until the Soul Hall has established a firm foothold on the continent before changing the name back!"

Without a second thought, Qian Daoliu accepted her proposal: "Very well!"

The next morning, as the dawn light spilled into the Offering Hall, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi finished their cultivation simultaneously.

Their eyes met, filled with deep affection. Qian Daoliu's fingertips brushed a stray lock of her hair, and as they leaned in, their noses touching and their breaths mingling, they were on the verge of a kiss when an urgent shout from Kong Deming suddenly came from outside the door:

"Brother Qian! Brother Qian! Something terrible has happened!"
