Qian Daoliu Was Overjoyed—These Were This Old Man's Granddaughter and Grandson

Hearing Qian Daoliu's angry urging, Qian Xunji swallowed hard and tightened his grip on A Yin's hand.

"A Yin, let's go in..."

A Yin nodded slightly, then followed Qian Xunji into the Consecration Hall. After passing through a long corridor, they arrived before a massive door.

"Come in..." a voice sounded from within the hall.

Qian Xunji pushed open the door. What greeted him was Qian Daoliu and the other consecrators, all staring at him with stiff expressions.

"Well, well? Isn't this our Pope, who left Spirit Hall for an entire year? You still remembered to come back?" Demon Subduing Douluo was the first to sneer.

"Isn't that so? Our Pope is quite something. He even brought back a Transformed Soul Beast. Don't you agree?"

"Xunji, you really planned this well. Very well indeed, throwing everything onto us." Golden Crocodile Douluo fixed Qian Xunji with a sharp gaze.

Faced with this group of elders, Qian Xunji felt his scalp prickle.

"Well... I can explain. Uncles, Father, I can explain!" Qian Xunji said, trembling.

"Explain?" Qian Daoliu spoke blandly, as though an invisible mountain had descended directly onto Qian Xunji's shoulders.

"Then explain..." Qian Daoliu looked at A Yin beside Qian Xunji and the children in her arms, the corners of his lips curling upward slightly.

"Father, I didn't spend this past year idly wandering around. I went out to make you a grandson and granddaughter!" Qian Xunji immediately pushed Qian Renxue, whom he held in his arms, forward.

"Father, this is my daughter, Qian Renxue. The one in A Yin's arms is my son, Qian Renfeng. The elder sister is Qian Renxue, and the younger brother is Qian Renfeng. Father... for the children's sake, you'll forgive me, right?" Cold sweat streamed down Qian Xunji's face.

"Hahaha! Good, good, good!" Qian Daoliu burst into laughter, his figure flashing past Qian Xunji and A Yin like a gust of wind.

By the time they reacted, the children in their arms had vanished and appeared in Qian Daoliu's hands.

"My dear grandchildren... my dear grandchildren! The Qian Clan finally has heirs!" Qian Daoliu held the infants in his arms, ecstatic.

"Oh, they're so adorable. Coochie coochie coo..." Demon Subduing Douluo said as he looked at the infants in Qian Daoliu's arms.

"Are you calling a dog over here?" Golden Crocodile Douluo shoved Demon Subduing Douluo aside and stepped forward to look at the infants in Qian Daoliu's arms.

"Hahaha, force of habit, force of habit. I got used to it when Xunji was born." Demon Subduing Douluo looked embarrassed.

"That's how you do it. Awoo, awoo, awoo..." Golden Crocodile Douluo said with a hearty laugh, as though they were his own granddaughter and grandson.

"You two..." Qian Daoliu smiled faintly.

They had initially looked as if they were determined to punish Qian Xunji, yet now they had left Qian Xunji and A Yin, husband and wife, completely to the side.

"My dear granddaughter, my dear grandson! Hahaha! They are the Qian Clan's bloodline! It was good that you went out for a year!"

Qian Daoliu wore a warm smile, while the consecrators chatted and laughed as they looked at the children. Clearly, they were all delighted.

From the moment Qian Xunji arrived at the foot of Divine Mountain, they had already noticed the infants in his and A Yin's arms.

Others could not sense it, but Qian Daoliu could feel the Angel Bloodline flowing within these two children.

He had only been trying to scare Qian Xunji just now. Who told him to disappear for more than a year? He had not even sent a letter.

"Qian Renxue, Qian Renfeng. Not bad names." Qian Daoliu slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over A Yin with scrutiny.

"Father..." A Yin clenched the hem of her dress, not daring to meet the eyes of this Peerless Douluo father.

"Don't be afraid. You are Xiao Xue and Xiao Feng's mother, so we are family... As for your identity as a Soul Beast?"

Qian Daoliu shook his head slightly, then raised a hand and summoned Angel Divine Power, enveloping A Yin within it. Golden light then entered her body.

"This is Angel Divine Power. Xunji should have told you that I am the Angel God's high priest and can draw upon a portion of divine power."

"Every portion of divine power I can use is exceedingly precious. This portion can help conceal your Soul Beast aura."

"Unless one is a Peerless Douluo like this old man and also the high priest of some god, no one will be able to see through your identity."

Qian Daoliu said calmly, "Do not overthink things, and do not be too reserved. This old man has no objections to you."

"Yes... Father." A Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

She had originally worried that Qian Daoliu would not accept her identity as a daughter-in-law transformed from a Soul Beast. It seemed she had worried for nothing.

"How wonderful... how wonderful... Xunji is practically useless now. From now on, you two will be Spirit Hall's heirs!"

Qian Daoliu said with a broad smile.

"Me?" Qian Xunji pointed at himself. "How am I useless, Father? What do you mean by that?"

"Heh!" Qian Daoliu rolled his eyes at Qian Xunji. "Isn't the meaning obvious? Have you ever heard of a Pope who spent an entire year away from Spirit Hall?"

"Only because you brought this old man two precious grandchildren did I spare you. Otherwise, I would have torn your legs off!"

Qian Xunji scratched his head at those words.

Didn't he have a reason? Hadn't he gone out to make grandchildren for the old man? Look at him—he was grinning so widely at the sight of his granddaughter and grandson that he could barely close his mouth.

"From now on, Xiao Xue and Xiao Feng will be raised in the Consecration Hall. This old man will personally teach them..." Qian Daoliu said calmly.

"No..." A Yin immediately blurted out. After speaking, she regretted it somewhat and softened her tone. "Father, they were only just born..."

Qian Daoliu nodded. "This old man is not unreasonable. Send them to the Consecration Hall once their martial souls awaken. In any case, the Consecration Hall and Papal Palace are so close. If you miss the children then, you can come directly to the Consecration Hall."

"Yes, Father." A Yin nodded.

"Although what this brat Xunji did this past year was somewhat beastly, at least he has left heirs behind." Light Feather Douluo said, "Big Brother, you must raise Xiao Xue and Xiao Feng properly. You cannot let them grow crooked."

As he spoke, he glanced at Qian Xunji. It was obvious he was saying that Qian Xunji himself was the one who had grown crooked.

Qian Xunji shook his head helplessly. "Can you really blame me? I've worked very hard too, haven't I?"

Qian Daoliu returned the two children to A Yin, then said, "Take the children outside first. I have some things I need to discuss with Xunji."

A Yin accepted Qian Renxue and Qian Renfeng, then prepared to leave the hall and wait for Qian Xunji outside.

"No... A Yin, don't go!" Qian Xunji immediately called out as he watched A Yin about to leave.

"Don't mind him!" Qian Daoliu said.
