"Three days?"
Qian Renxue, who had been muted, was startled inwardly.
She had actually slept for so long? Would Uncle Qianjun and Uncle Jiang Mo be worried? They hadn't told Grandpa, had they? Grandpa wasn't coming to find her, was he?
If Grandpa found out she had 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?
Mute her with one click!
"Once we go up, explain things to the two people who came with you. Tell them that you'll be disappearing for three or four years, and that they need not worry about your safety during that time."
"If they insist on asking, you can tell them directly that the Angel God chose you and intends to take you away personally to train you for a few years."
"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, then manually unmuted her.
"Heavenly Dao, are you planning to take Little Xue away and train her personally?"
"No. I'm sending you somewhere that is exceptionally suited to tempering your body and soul power, as well as your spirit and will."
"When you return three years from now, both your body and mind will undergo a qualitative leap!"
"Ah?"
Hearing that Heavenly Dao would not be training her personally, Qian Renxue lowered her head in disappointment. She had been happy for nothing.
"What, you're unhappy? This is an opportunity others couldn't obtain no matter how much they begged for it." Seeing Qian Renxue's drooping little face, Lu Chen asked with an amused smile.
Qian Renxue raised her head. "Will 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 confused. Was there really such a place on the Douluo Continent? Even Heavenly Dao could not enter it?
Lu Chen did not explain further, merely saying, "I'll tell you the specifics once you've settled your affairs."
"Remember, deal with everything as quickly as possible. This matter is not only important to you—it is also very important to me."
"It's important to Heavenly Dao too?"
The light that had dimmed in Qian Renxue's eyes blazed brightly once more.
She could actually help Heavenly Dao!
She was so happy!
"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 relaxed, but his gaze was somewhat complicated.
With Qian Renxue's current temperament, could she help him accomplish this?
Sigh. All he could do was hope—hope she could help ease some of his pressure.
"Heavenly Dao, I'll definitely work hard!"
Qian Renxue's golden eyes sparkled. She wished she could go up right now, return to Spirit Hall immediately, and tell Grandpa that she was leaving.
She had always only enjoyed the benefits Heavenly Dao gave her and had never contributed anything in return. This had left little Qian Renxue feeling uneasy deep down.
Who would have thought that today would bring a turning point!
She could actually help Heavenly Dao. After constantly receiving benefits, she finally had a chance to repay him! This was wonderful!
This time, she would work as hard as she possibly could and absolutely not disappoint Heavenly Dao's expectations.
"All right, put your clothes on and get ready to go up. If you don't go up soon, those two who came with you will probably lose their minds."
Feeling Qian Renxue's resolve, Lu Chen shook his head with a smile. She knew how to repay kindness—a good child indeed.
"Mm! Mm?"
Qian Renxue was about to nod when she suddenly realized something was wrong with his words. "That's not right!"
She looked down.
"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 tranquil water, praying constantly in their hearts.
Qianjun raised his head and looked at the sky, which was gradually darkening. He could not help but sigh.
Still not coming out?
Just as he lamented inwardly, the water surface, which had been as calm as usual, suddenly began to seem wrong.
"There's a soul power fluctuation!"
Dugu Bo shouted excitedly. The hope that had vanished from his eyes burst forth once more with dazzling brilliance.
It was hope for life!
"What!"
Qianjun and Jiang Mo immediately rushed to Dugu Bo's side. Their eyes locked onto the water's surface as their spiritual senses expanded outward wildly.
"There really is!"
The next second!
Splash!
Spring water containing the powers of ice and fire scattered in every direction. A figure clad in a bright yellow gown, twelve angel wings spread behind her, burst through the surface and shot into the sky!
Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, she radiated an overwhelming sense of holiness.
"The Angel Martial Soul! It's Little Xue! It's the Young Mistress!"
Jiang Mo's gaze was filled with excitement. "Sure enough, the Young Mistress spent these three days beneath the water digesting the opportunity she received!"
"Hahaha! The Young Mistress truly is extraordinary!"
Qianjun laughed three times and slapped Dugu Bo on the shoulder, all the gravity on his face vanishing. "Dugu Bo, you don't have to die now!"
Dugu Bo, who had been incredibly excited, froze instantly upon hearing those words.
What did he mean, I don't have to die now?
Pah!
Nothing good ever came out of that dog's mouth!
Just wait. Once this old man breaks through to Rank 95, I'll definitely give you a good beating!
"Uncle Qianjun, Uncle Jiang Mo, sorry to have kept you waiting."
A brilliant smile bloomed on Qian Renxue's flushed little face.
Although she had been asleep throughout those three days, she could still sense the passage of time. It had truly felt like she had been alone for a very, very long time.
"Young Mistress, congratulations..."
Jiang Mo quickly came before Qian Renxue. Just as he was about to congratulate her, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
No, the Young Mistress's soul power rank was the same as when she entered?
His gaze was full of confusion. After staying in such an environment for three days, how had she come out without the slightest change?
That was completely unreasonable.
"Young Mistress, your soul power?" Qianjun also came before Qian Renxue, and he too quickly sensed her aura.
That couldn't be right, could it?
Qian Renxue was slightly stunned by Qianjun's question. "Soul power?"
"You were down there..." Qianjun pointed at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Oh! That!" 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."
Qianjun and Jiang Mo exchanged a glance, then nodded.
"By the way, Young Mistress, before we return to Spirit Hall, should we retrieve the other opportunity first?" Jiang Mo asked.
"The other opportunity?" Qianjun looked at Jiang Mo. How did he not know about this? Jiang Mo, that mouth of yours was really tight!
Three days had passed, and he had not let a single word slip!
"The other opportunity?"
Qian Renxue also looked at Jiang Mo. Following his gaze to the obediently standing Dugu Bo, her feelings became somewhat complicated.
Before coming out, she had specifically asked Lu Chen about this opportunity, and Heavenly Dao had answered her like this.
"What do you mean it already has an owner? I am Heavenly Dao! The master of the world! The entire world is mine?!"
"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—I granted it to you, so it is yours! Take it!"
