After saying this, Yu Xiaofeng felt utterly disgusted inside, yet tears still streamed down his face as he wailed like an unweaned child crying for food.

Yu Xiaofeng choked out, "Grandpa Qian, they drew my blood, sliced off my flesh bit by bit with knives, and even said they were going to turn me into meat buns and eat me."

"I'm so scared."

Yu Xiaofeng's body trembled as he bawled with tears in his eyes, making Qian Daoliu's eyes grow moist as well.

Qian Daoliu held Yu Xiaofeng and said, "Child, don't cry. Grandpa Qian is here, aren't I?"

"With Grandpa Qian here, no one will dare touch a single hair on your head. Who would dare lay a hand on my, Qian Daoliu's, grandson?"

As he spoke, a vicious glint flashed through Qian Daoliu's eyes. If Yu Xiaofeng had not known what kind of person Qian Daoliu was, he might actually have believed him.

Yu Xiaofeng cursed inwardly, You old bastard, keep pretending. Acting in front of me? Do you really think you're an Oscar-winning actor?

Yu Xiaofeng sneered inwardly, but continued crying on the surface. "Grandpa Qian, I'm scared. Take me home!"

Tears fell from Qian Daoliu's eyes, yet a smile appeared on his lips. "All right, all right, all right. Grandpa Qian will take you home right now. Be good, Xiaofeng. Don't be afraid."

Qian Daoliu said "all right" three times in a row, already bursting with joy inside. A child is still a child. When he was at his most desperate, I appeared and saved him. Won't he serve me with gratitude for the rest of his life?

Children are so easy to fool. Once we return, I'll comfort him properly. After that, I doubt he'll ever escape my grasp again.

While Qian Daoliu was thinking, Yu Xiaofeng was not idle either.

If I don't squeeze a few more good things out of him, I'll never be satisfied.

Yu Xiaofeng immediately said to Qian Daoliu, "Grandpa Qian, I'm in so much pain. Do you have any medicine to stop it?"

When Qian Daoliu saw Yu Xiaofeng's body covered in scars, with tiny bloody holes in some places, he said generously, "I do."

Qian Daoliu picked up Yu Xiaofeng, then took out a bottle of pills from his soul tool. "This is a sacred healing medicine. Keep it safe and take it when you're injured in the future. This medicine isn't easy to come by."

After Yu Xiaofeng put it away, his mind immediately relaxed, and he fell asleep in an instant.

For so many days, his intense nervousness had kept him from sleeping carelessly. Even when he truly slept, he remained alert for accidents. As long as he had not escaped danger, anything could happen, and he could still end up in peril.

Who would choose death when they could live? Yu Xiaofeng was no god either.

Just as Qian Daoliu was carrying Yu Xiaofeng away, he discovered that the murals on both walls were becoming clearer and clearer.

He put Yu Xiaofeng down and walked toward the wall on the left. With just one glance, he was stunned. What was recorded there was the history of the Soulless Clan.

The Soulless Clan came from another distant continent. Since the time of our ancestors, we have revered martial arts. Yet on Douluo Continent, souls are supreme, so under the pressure of the crisis, we created soul skills ourselves.

When Qian Daoliu saw this, along with the dates recorded there, he suddenly understood. So the soul skills of Douluo Continent had actually all been created by the Soulless Clan.

After looking over the surrounding murals and finding nothing he needed, he carried Yu Xiaofeng out through the tunnel entrance.

Spirit Hall

In Qian Daoliu's room, Yu Xiaofeng slept for three whole days. During that time, Bibi Dong came twice, while Hu Liena practically never left, coming every day to care for him.

"You stupid fool, it's already been three days. Why aren't you awake yet? If you don't wake up soon, believe it or not, I'll bite you."

Hu Liena said worriedly.

Many people might not have been fortunate enough to receive such concern from Hu Liena, but Yu Xiaofeng was an exception. He snored like thunder, yet still had a smile on his face.

Furious, Hu Liena pinched Yu Xiaofeng's cheek. "You stupid fool, why aren't you awake yet? I've been worried sick."

"Ow... ow..."

"Give me back my chicken leg... Give me back my chicken leg..."

Yu Xiaofeng babbled incoherently, waving his hands around. He felt as though he had grabbed something, and the sensation was especially something else. With a lecherous grin, he finally opened his eyes.

But the instant he opened them, he saw Hu Liena's angry face. Her furious gaze looked as though she wanted to tear Yu Xiaofeng apart alive.

Yu Xiaofeng looked at his hand and said awkwardly, "Nana... listen to me, listen..."

Before he could finish speaking.

Hu Liena struck out furiously. "Listen to your big-headed ghost! You stupid fool, take your hand away!"

"Ow... Nana... that hurts... I'm a patient... Stop hitting me... stop hitting me..."

As Yu Xiaofeng spoke, he leaped to his feet. While running, he raised his hands before his face and sniffed them, saying with an intoxicated expression, "Smells so good... so something else... Hahaha, I've decided not to wash my hands ever again."

"Yes, yes, yes... don't wash them, don't wash them."

Hu Liena chased after Yu Xiaofeng and tried to hit him. Seeing his lecherous face, she said in exasperation, "You still claim you're a patient? What kind of patient can run like you?"

"Ow!"

Hu Liena stumbled and nearly fell. Stupid fool, let's see whether you'll catch me.

Yu Xiaofeng turned around, rushed over, and caught Hu Liena in his arms. The two stared into each other's eyes as they spun in place.

Yu Xiaofeng stared at Hu Liena's flushed face in a daze, his eyes fixed on her as he murmured, "So beautiful."

Hu Liena was jolted awake by his words. Realizing she was still in Yu Xiaofeng's arms, she immediately pushed him away, then grabbed his ear and twisted it. "Running away, are you? Bullying me, are you..."

"Ow... I won't do it again... Nana, let go..."

As Yu Xiaofeng begged for mercy, a cough startled them both. Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong walked in, and Yu Xiaofeng noticed a girl following behind them.

The girl's beautiful hair flowed like a waterfall, and her golden eyes held a faint, gentle softness. Yu Xiaofeng swore that in all his life, he had never seen such an exceptionally beautiful woman.

Hu Liena released him and gave Yu Xiaofeng a push, finally snapping him out of his lapse in composure.

Yu Xiaofeng immediately said along with Hu Liena, "Xiaofeng greets Grandpa Qian and Godmother."

"Nana greets both teachers."

"Hello, Sister Xue."

Hu Liena said sweetly.

Yu Xiaofeng did not understand what was going on, but he followed Hu Liena's lead and called her Sister Xue as well.

Qian Renxue merely smiled sweetly, taking it as a greeting from the two of them.

After Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong sat down, Bibi Dong said to Yu Xiaofeng, "Xiaofeng, your Grandpa Qian and I discussed it. We're planning to marry Qian Renxue to you."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaofeng froze as though struck by lightning. He stared blankly at Bibi Dong, while Bibi Dong's earlier words surfaced in his mind.

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Hu Liena's face instantly turned pale.

Seeing that Yu Xiaofeng said nothing and merely stood there dumbfounded without moving, Bibi Dong smiled. "Xiaofeng? What do you think?"
