"Three days?"
Qian Renxue, who had been shut down, was startled.
I actually slept for that long? Won't Uncle Qian Jun and Uncle Jiang Mo be worried? They didn't tell Grandpa, did they? Grandpa won't come looking for me, will he?
If Grandpa finds out I stayed in such a dangerous place for three days...
Lu Chen was somewhat speechless. He had shut her mouth, so why was her mind still chattering away nonstop?
He directly muted her with one click!
"After we go up, explain things to the two people who came with you. Tell them that you'll disappear for the next three or four years, and that they needn't worry about your safety during that time."
"If they really press you, you can tell them directly that the Angel God chose you and intends to personally take you away for several years of training."
"Do you understand?"
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up, and she nodded her little head vigorously.
Seeing Qian Renxue like this, Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction before manually turning her microphone back on.
"Lord Heavenly Dao, are you planning to take Xiaoxue away and train her personally?"
"No. I'm sending you somewhere that is very suitable for tempering your body and Soul Power, as well as your mind and will."
"When you return three years later, both your body and spirit will undergo a qualitative leap!"
"Ah?"
Hearing that Lord Heavenly Dao would not be training her personally, Qian Renxue lowered her head in disappointment. Her excitement had been for nothing.
"What, you're unhappy? This is an opportunity that others could never obtain no matter how they begged." Seeing Qian Renxue's drooping little face, Lu Chen asked with a faintly amused smile.
Qian Renxue raised her head. "Will Lord Heavenly Dao be at the place I'm going? Will you come with me?"
"I won't."
Lu Chen shook his head. "That place is rather special. Only you can enter it."
"Special?"
Qian Renxue was puzzled. Was there really such a place on Douluo Continent? A place even Lord Heavenly Dao could not enter?
Lu Chen did not explain further, merely saying, "I'll tell you the specifics after you've dealt with your affairs."
"Remember, settle everything as quickly as possible. This matter is important not only to you, but also to me."
"It's important to Lord Heavenly Dao too?"
The light that had dimmed in Qian Renxue's eyes blazed brightly once more.
She could actually help Lord Heavenly Dao!
She was so happy!
"It's very important, so the burden on your shoulders will be heavy from now on." Lu Chen patted Qian Renxue's slender shoulder. His tone was casual, but his eyes held a trace of complexity.
With Qian Renxue's current temperament, could she help him accomplish this?
Sigh, all he could do was hope. Hope that she could ease some of his burden.
"Lord Heavenly Dao, I'll definitely work hard!"
Qian Renxue's large golden eyes sparkled. She wished she could go up right now, return to Spirit Hall at once, and tell her grandfather that she was leaving.
Until now, she had only enjoyed the benefits Lord Heavenly Dao had given her and had never offered anything in return. This had always left little Qian Renxue feeling uneasy.
Unexpectedly, a turning point had arrived today!
She could actually help Lord Heavenly Dao. After receiving so much without giving anything back, she finally had a chance to repay him! This was wonderful!
This time, she would work as hard as she possibly could and absolutely would not let down Lord Heavenly Dao's expectations.
"Alright, get dressed and prepare to go up. If you don't go up soon, those two people who brought you here will probably go crazy."
Feeling Qian Renxue's resolve, Lu Chen shook his head with a smile. She knew how to repay kindness. She was a good child.
"Mm! Hm?"
Just as Qian Renxue was about to nod, she suddenly realized something was wrong with his words. "That's not right!"
She lowered her head for a look.
"Ah!!!!"
Lu Chen: "..."
Was that really necessary? She was just a little girl.
The three people waiting at the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well silently watched the calm surface of the water, constantly praying inwardly.
Qian Jun raised his head and looked at the gradually darkening sky, unable to stop himself from letting out a long sigh.
Still not coming out?
Just as he sighed inwardly, the water surface, which had been as calm as usual, suddenly changed.
"There's a Soul Power fluctuation!"
Dugu Bo shouted excitedly. The eyes that had already lost all hope of life burst forth with dazzling radiance once more.
It was the hope of survival!
"What!"
Qian Jun and Jiang Mo immediately rushed to Dugu Bo's side, their eyes fixed firmly on the water as their spiritual senses expanded wildly outward.
"There really is!"
The next second!
Splash!
Spring water containing the powers of ice and fire scattered in all directions. A figure clad in a bright yellow dress, with twelve angel wings spread behind her, burst through the surface and shot into the sky!
Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, she exuded an overwhelming sense of holiness.
"The Angel Martial Soul! It's Xiaoxue! It's the Young Mistress!"
Jiang Mo's eyes were filled with excitement. "As expected, the Young Mistress spent these three days beneath the water digesting the opportunity she received!"
"Hahaha! The Young Mistress is indeed extraordinary!"
Qian Jun laughed three times and slapped Dugu Bo on the shoulder. The gravity on his face vanished completely. "Dugu Bo, you don't have to die!"
Dugu Bo, who had been immensely excited, instantly froze upon hearing those words.
What did he mean, I don't have to die?
Bah!
Nothing good ever came out of a dog's mouth!
Just wait. Once this old man broke through to level ninety-five, he would definitely give him a vicious blow!
"Uncle Qian Jun, Uncle Jiang Mo, I've kept you waiting."
A brilliant smile blossomed on Qian Renxue's flushed little face.
Although she had been asleep for all three days, she could still feel the passage of time. It had truly felt like she had spent a very, very long time alone.
"Young Mistress, congratulations..."
Jiang Mo quickly arrived in front of Qian Renxue. Just as he was about to congratulate her, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
No, why was the Young Mistress's Soul Power Level the same as before she went in?
His gaze was filled with confusion. She had stayed in that environment for three days, so how could there be no change at all after coming out?
That did not make sense.
"Young Mistress, your Soul Power?" Qian Jun also came before Qian Renxue, quickly sensing her aura as well.
Something was off here, wasn't it?
Hearing Qian Jun's question, Qian Renxue was slightly stunned. "Soul Power?"
"You were down there..." Qian Jun pointed at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Oh! This?" Qian Renxue smiled again. "I did receive some opportunities down there, but they have nothing to do with Soul Power."
"I'll explain it to you once we return to Spirit Hall."
Qian Jun and Jiang Mo exchanged glances, then nodded.
"By the way, Young Mistress, before returning to Spirit Hall, should we retrieve the other opportunity first?" Jiang Mo asked.
"The other opportunity?" Qian Jun looked at Jiang Mo. How did he not know about it? Jiang Mo really knew how to keep his mouth shut!
Three days had passed, yet he had not leaked a single word!
"The other opportunity?"
Qian Renxue also looked at Jiang Mo. Following his gaze to the well-behaved Dugu Bo nearby, her feelings became somewhat complicated.
Before coming out, she had specifically asked Lu Chen about this opportunity, and Lord Heavenly Dao had answered her like this.
"What do you mean, it belongs to someone else? I am the Heavenly Dao! The master of this world! The entire world is mine!"
"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—I granted it to you, so it is yours! Just take it!"
