Lu Chen: Qian Renxue Was a Little Bad

After shifting his gaze away from Qian Renxue, Lu Chen routinely glanced at Holy Spirit Village. What he saw shocked him.

Tang San!

A baby not even half a year old had already learned to walk!

Ridiculous!

"He learned to walk this quickly? He hasn't even been born for half a year, has he? His growth rate is this astonishing?"

Lu Chen pondered whether he should cause some trouble for Holy Spirit Village. Watching Tang San develop so peacefully always made him feel a little displeased.

Thus...

Holy Spirit Village.

Tang the Blacksmith's home.

Tang Hao, dead drunk and unshaven, lay sprawled on a wooden bed, snoring soundly. Just as he slept deeply, a faint, indistinct sensation made him open his eyes.

"Hmm?"

Reeking of alcohol, Tang Hao woke up and rubbed his bleary eyes with a rough hand. Following that sensation, he looked in a certain direction. When he saw his youngest son walking, a powerful desire suddenly surged within him.

Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!

As long as you kill that child before you, you can have everything you desire!

As long as you kill that child before you, your wife can be resurrected!

The feeling came with extreme abruptness, yet it felt extraordinarily real. Tang Hao's eyes instantly turned bloodshot!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Tang Hao panted heavily as he glared viciously at his "son," that thought endlessly rising in his mind.

Kill him, and Ah Yin can be resurrected!

Kill him, and Ah Yin can be resurrected!

Kill him, and Ah Yin can be resurrected!

Kill him!

"Da... Dad..."

Tang San turned his head. Seeing his father suddenly sit up, his eyes crimson as he panted heavily, he looked utterly confused.

No, why did he sense killing intent from his father?

His father... wanted to kill him?

Bang!

Before Tang San could react, Tang Hao, who had suddenly awakened, abruptly collapsed back onto the bed and fell into a deep snoring sleep once more.

Little Tang San looked utterly bewildered.

"Damn it! Tang Hao really does have a safeguard left behind by the Asura God."

Lu Chen looked displeased. He had merely used the authority of the Heavenly Dao to give Tang Hao a small bit of guidance.

As long as Tang Hao smashed the pot, threw away the rice, and deliberately starved Tang San for ten days or half a month, he could see Ah Yin in his dreams and chat with her for a minute.

But who could have expected that the instant this guidance landed on Tang Hao, it would completely change in nature?

Starving Tang San for ten days or half a month became killing Tang San. Seeing Ah Yin in a dream and talking with her became resurrecting Ah Yin.

Then, that guidance filled with killing intent and desire directly became nourishment for the Slaughter God Domain and was naturally devoured by it.

After understanding how Tang Hao's mechanism worked, Lu Chen was thoroughly irritated. The method left behind by the Asura God was too disgusting. No matter the reason, as long as Tang Hao developed any negative thoughts toward Tang San, the Slaughter God Domain within him would transform them into extreme killing intent, then devour it.

In other words, there was no way to deal with little Tang San by starting with Tang Hao. He could only consider other approaches.

Of course, Tang Hao unconsciously tormenting Tang San, such as making him cook porridge at three or care for children at four, would not be detected by the Slaughter God Domain. That counted as normal child-rearing.

"Isn't the Asura God afraid that one mishandling might really make Tang Hao kill Tang San?" Lu Chen thought maliciously.

Any bad thought would turn into killing intent. Was the Asura God really not afraid of taking things too far? What if the Slaughter God Domain malfunctioned and directly killed Tang San? That would be amusing!

"Forget it. I'll ignore Tang San for now. What a hassle!"

"Grandpa, does this mean that if I want to inherit the Angel God's Godhood, I can only absorb Soul Bones from our Angel Clan? So I can't absorb this Soul Bone, right?" Qian Renxue asked in a somewhat dejected tone.

Didn't that mean the 50,000-Year Spirit Bone in her hands was truly completely useless to her~

She had obtained this Soul Bone at such a great cost, by scolding her mother and challenging her mother. Yet she herself could not use it.

So sad, so sad!

Qian Daoliu naturally noticed Qian Renxue's mood and comforted her softly. "There's nothing bad about not being able to absorb this Soul Bone. Even better Soul Bones are waiting for you!"

"Xiaoxue, you must know that the Soul Bones of our Angel Clan are not only a complete set, but each one is also as old as 99,999 years!"

"Once you equip all of them, they can resonate and all ascend into 100,000-Year Spirit Bones!"

"After becoming a god, they can even evolve into divine armor!"

"Xiaoxue, it isn't your problem that you can't absorb this 50,000-Year Spirit Bone. It simply isn't worthy of you!"

Hearing her grandfather say that, Qian Renxue finally felt a little better. "I understand, Grandpa. It's just a pity about this Soul Bone."

Holding the Soul Bone in her hands, a trace of struggle flashed through her eyes. Then she raised it, tilted up her head, and reluctantly said to Qian Daoliu:

"Since this Soul Bone is useless to Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue will give it to Grandpa. If Grandpa doesn't need it, you can give it to one of the uncles or grandpas who doesn't have one yet."

"?"

Qian Daoliu looked at the Soul Bone Qian Renxue held out before him. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, soon replaced by gratification.

"Xiaoxue has grown up!"

Qian Daoliu gently pushed the Soul Bone back. "But Grandpa doesn't need this Soul Bone. Xiaoxue should keep it yourself and store it carefully. When you grow up, you can give it to someone who needs it, according to your own wishes."

"Grandpa, you can..."

"Put it away. You need to give this Soul Bone away yourself."

Seeing the resolute look in her grandfather's eyes, Qian Renxue nodded as if she understood, yet did not fully understand. She no longer insisted and carefully stored the Soul Bone in her storage soul tool.

She had just made a huge decision before offering up this Soul Bone!

She had paid an "enormous" price to obtain it. If Grandpa and the uncles in the Worship Hall had not all treated her so well, she would never have been willing to give it away~

Watching Qian Renxue skip away, Qian Daoliu ultimately swallowed the question he wanted to ask.

"Three ten-thousand-year soul beasts sacrificed themselves, and there is also this Soul Bone produced by a Holy Light Unicorn. Has Xiaoxue caught the eye of some god again?"

Qian Daoliu sighed softly. Being able to forcibly control ten-thousand-year soul beasts into sacrificing themselves, and forcibly strip away their Soul Bones during the sacrifice, was not something an ordinary god could accomplish.

At the very least, it had to be an existence on par with Lord Angel God.

Should he...

He hesitated. As the Angel God's High Priest, the strongest member of the Angel Clan, and the Angel God's inheritor, he ought to protect Lord Angel God's interests. He also hoped even more that Qian Renxue would inherit the Angel God's Godhood.

But Xiaoxue was his granddaughter.

"I hope Xiaoxue can inherit Lord Angel God's Godhood in the future. If she cannot..."

"Lord Heavenly Dao, Grandpa told me everything about the Soul Bones. Should Xiaoxue tell you again?" The moment Qian Renxue returned to her chambers, she hurriedly communicated with Lu Chen.

"No need. I already know all of that information. I only had you ask your grandfather because I thought explaining it myself would be a little troublesome."

"Alright!"

"Oh, right, Lord Heavenly Dao. I suspect my grandfather also knows that someone is behind me. He probably doesn't know it's you, though. He must be guessing it's someone else."

"Oh, I know."

"Lord Heavenly Dao is amazing. You know everything!"

"Is there anything else? If not, go cultivate. Strive to obtain your first Soul Bone as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay! Xiaoxue will listen to everything you say, Lord Heavenly Dao!"

Qian Renxue immediately assumed a proper posture and prepared to circulate her soul power. However, before cultivating, she asked one more question.

"Lord Heavenly Dao, you said earlier that you had originally intended for me to find my grandfather. Does that mean when you said I had 'hurt you'... you were... you were joking?"

"Lord Heavenly Dao, Xiaoxue absolutely did not mean to offend you! It's just... it's just that Xiaoxue was really upset about hurting you. If it was a joke, Xiaoxue would feel a little better."

"..."

"..."

"Lord Heavenly Dao, Xiaoxue is going to cultivate!"

Lu Chen: "..."

Was this girl pretending to be dumb, or was she actually dumb?

Was she being sarcastic toward him just now?

Clearly, he felt like she was being sarcastic, but why could he not sense even the slightest sarcastic emotion from her?

Speechless...
