The Flowers Were in Full Bloom, the Perfect Time to Admire Them

After Qiangu Aoshi explained, Qian Renxue understood the value of the Sunshine Rose.

This made Qian Renxue's gaze toward Qiangu Aoshi grow even gentler.

Qiangu Aoshi had sincerely prepared a gift for her, and it was one of immense value to her.

Qian Renxue returned to the secret chamber behind her study. It was where she cultivated year-round.

Qian Renxue possessed exceptional talent and innate soul power at level 20. Had she been within Spirit Hall and received its full support, she might have already surpassed level 70 soul power by now.

She was only at level 64 because even her cultivation had to be done in secret!

Bibi Dong had done terrible harm!

She herself had received Spirit Hall's full support, yet she was so stingy toward her own daughter, all because her daughter had awakened the Six-Winged Angel Martial Spirit of the Angel lineage.

This was the oldest tale of a fake heiress and a true heiress.

She raised Hu Liena as a daughter and raised Qian Renxue like a weed.

A noble lady did not love her biological daughter but instead loved her adopted daughter. Such matters had long been recorded on the Douluo Continent.

While Qian Renxue absorbed the Sunshine Rose, Qiangu Aoshi summoned Snake Spear Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo.

"Elder Snake Spear, Elder Porcupinefish, after Sister Xue'er absorbs the Sunshine Rose, she will definitely break through to level 70 soul power."

"You should make preparations as well. Take advantage of this time to visit Sunset Forest or the Star Dou Great Forest and capture a light-attributed or fire-attributed soul beast over fifty thousand years old."

"Once Sister Xue'er breaks through level 70 soul power, she can hunt it for her seventh soul ring."

Snake Spear Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo exchanged a glance and agreed with Qiangu Aoshi.

"Then the young master's safety will be entrusted to the Holy Son."

"We will return as quickly as possible. Once we capture the soul beast, we will keep it in the forest outside the city."

After saying that, Snake Spear and Porcupinefish left, swiftly vanishing into the night sky.

Qiangu Aoshi secretly thought to himself:

There is actually a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in Heaven Dou City, but Qian Renxue's foundation is insufficient. She probably cannot absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring as her seventh ring.

If she were in Spirit Hall, with the Grand Priest teaching Qian Renxue from childhood and allowing her to absorb a few soul bones from the Angel God Outfit, then she could try absorbing Xiao Wu's soul ring.

Qiangu Aoshi and Zhu Zhuqing stood guard outside the secret chamber. Bored, they began playing a game.

A proper game.

Five-in-a-Row.

Amid laughter and cheerful chatter, eight hours swiftly passed. The sun poked its head out from the east, illuminating the entire world.

Inside the secret chamber, a surge of soul power rose sharply before quickly settling down.

As the door opened, an excited Qian Renxue flashed out of the secret chamber and gave Qiangu Aoshi a huge hug.

"Little Brother Aoshi, I truly don't know how to thank you. A single Sunshine Rose allowed me to break through six levels of soul power. It even cleansed my martial spirit, further raising the purity of my Sun True Fire until it reached the ultimate level of flame."

"It has saved me at least two years of grueling cultivation. Now, as long as I absorb my seventh soul ring, I can become a true Soul Sage."

With his face buried in her softness, Qiangu Aoshi was not polite in the slightest. He rubbed against her with an expression of enjoyment, his voice coming out muffled.

"Congratulations, Sister Xue'er. This is the best thank-you already."

Qian Renxue's face reddened. She was still an unmarried young woman, and she had only taken the initiative to hug Qiangu Aoshi because she had been too excited.

Feeling Qiangu Aoshi's cheek rubbing back and forth against her chest,

she felt somewhat shy as well. Yet seeing how much Qiangu Aoshi liked it, she not only did not let him go, but hugged him even tighter.

Still, she stubbornly said:

"Fine. Since this is how you want me to thank you, this will only happen once. There will be no next time."

Qiangu Aoshi sneered inwardly. Once there was a first time, there would be a second and a third...

Today, with clothes between them, he ultimately could not feel the delicacy of her skin.

Next time...

Hehehe!

Soul Hall Venerable Qiangu Aoshi let out an evil laugh in his heart.

Beside them, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened roundly as she looked down at her own chest.

Thinking of the Lovesick Heartbroken Red that Qiangu Aoshi had given her, which had raised her soul power by a full nine levels,

she decided that she needed to thank Qiangu Aoshi properly as well.

After a while, Qian Renxue and Qiangu Aoshi exchanged information.

Qian Renxue said seriously:

"Little Brother Aoshi, Ning Fengzhi hates you to the bone right now. He has already contacted the Clear Sky Sect through Moon Pavilion. By the way, Moon Pavilion was established by the remnants of the Clear Sky Sect. Its master, Tang Yuehua, is Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's younger sister."

"The Clear Sky Sect has sealed itself away in seclusion, but it still needs food and supplies. Tang Yuehua manages Moon Pavilion outside, making it an important source of materials for the Clear Sky Sect."

"Not only the Clear Sky Sect, Ning Fengzhi is also contacting the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He plans to use the strength of the Upper Three Sects to force Spirit Hall into yielding and hand you over for them to deal with as they please."

Qiangu Aoshi raised an eyebrow.

This Ning Fengzhi really was delivering himself as an excellent experience pack.

He had delivered himself and Sword Douluo right to Qiangu Aoshi's door, allowing Qiangu Aoshi's hidden soul power to reach above level 90.

With only his eighth and ninth soul rings missing, he could become a Titled Douluo.

And now he wanted to drag the Clear Sky Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan along to offer themselves up as well.

Qiangu Aoshi almost wanted to thank him. Since he was already coming, he had even brought such generous gifts. This time, he would send him straight to level 99 soul power in one go.

Thinking of this, Qiangu Aoshi grew somewhat impatient. He needed to absorb his eighth and ninth soul rings as soon as possible, then give the Upper Three Sects a huge surprise when they came knocking.

"Sister Xue'er, if Ning Fengzhi wants to lead the Upper Three Sects to their deaths, do not try to stop them. It will be the perfect opportunity for me to wipe out the Upper Three Sects in one stroke and clear the obstacles to Spirit Hall unifying the Douluo Continent."

"Also, Snake Spear Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo have gone to the Star Dou Great Forest at my request to capture a suitable soul beast for your seventh soul ring. There should be news soon."

"Sister Xue'er, although I want to stay with you a while longer, now that I know Ning Fengzhi is making moves, I cannot remain idle."

"I need to go back and ask my First Godfather and Second Godfather for help. I will go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast and complete my eighth and ninth soul rings in one go."

Qian Renxue was somewhat reluctant to part with him. Normally, she had to disguise herself as Xue Qinghe. It had not been easy to find someone who understood her and with whom she could cast aside her disguise. She truly did not want to separate from Qiangu Aoshi.

But she had endured all these years. This temporary separation was only for the sake of reuniting in the future.

She gently patted the back of Qiangu Aoshi's head and teased:

"You keep saying you are going back, but I do not see you leaving my chest. I thought a little brat like you would dislike an older sister like me."

"Now it seems this older sister still has plenty of charm."

Qiangu Aoshi took a deep breath, filling his lungs with that fragrance.

"Sister Xue'er is not old at all. The flowers are in full bloom, the perfect time to admire them."

At those words, Qian Renxue smiled like a flower.

She truly wished this moment could last forever.
