Qian Daoliu Was Overjoyed: These Are My Granddaughter and Grandson!

Hearing the anger in Qian Xunji's urging voice, he swallowed and tightened his grip on Ah Yin's hand.

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

Ah Yin nodded slightly. Then, following Qian Xunji, she stepped straight into the Worship Hall. They passed through a long corridor and arrived before a large door.

"Come in..." a voice called from inside the main hall.

Qian Xunji pushed open the door. The first thing he saw was the group of enshrined elders led by Qian Daoliu, all of them staring at him with stiff expressions.

"Oh? Isn't this our His Holiness the Pope, who left the Spirit Hall a whole year ago? You still remember the way back?" Demon Subduing Douluo was the first to speak, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

"That's right. Our Pope is truly impressive. He even brought back a Transformed Soul Beast. Wouldn't you say so?"

"Little Xunji, you certainly planned this well. Very well indeed—dumping everything on us." Golden Crocodile Douluo fixed his sharp gaze on Xunji.

Facing this group of elders, Xunji felt his scalp prickle.

"Um... I can explain. Uncles, and Dad, I can explain!" Xunji said with a trembling body.

"Explain?" Qian Daoliu said calmly, as though an invisible mountain had been pressed directly onto Xunji's shoulders.

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

"Dad, I didn't spend this past year away for nothing. I went out and made you a grandson and granddaughter!" Xunji immediately pushed Qian Renxue out from his arms.

"Dad, this is my daughter, Qian Renxue. The child in Ah Yin's arms is my son, Qian Renfeng. The older sister is Qian Renxue, and the younger brother is Qian Renfeng. Dad... for the children's sake, you'll forgive me, right?" Cold sweat poured down Xunji's face.

"Hahahaha! Good! Good! Good!" Qian Daoliu burst into laughter. His figure flashed past Qian Xunji and Ah 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.

"What good grandchildren... What good grandchildren! My Qian Clan finally has heirs!" Qian Daoliu held the babies in his arms, wild with delight.

"Wow, what a handsome little one. Smooch, smooch, smooch..." Demon Subduing Douluo said as he looked at the baby in Qian Daoliu's arms.

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

"Hahahaha, I'm used to it, I'm used to it. I got into the habit when Xunji was born." Demon Subduing Douluo wore an awkward expression.

"This is how you do it. Awoo, awoo, awoo..." Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed heartily, as though the children were his own granddaughter and grandson.

"You people..." Qian Daoliu said with a faint smile.

They had originally looked ready to punish Xunji, but now they had completely left him and Ah Yin aside.

"Good granddaughter, good grandson! Hahahaha! These are the descendants of our Qian Clan! It was worth going away for a year!"

Qian Daoliu wore a warm smile, and the enshrined elders chatted and laughed as they watched the children. Clearly, they were all extremely happy.

When Qian Xunji arrived at the foot of the Divine Mountain, they had already noticed him and the babies in Ah Yin's arms.

The others could not sense it, but Qian Daoliu could feel the Angel Bloodline flowing through both children.

The intimidation earlier had only been meant to scare Xunji. After all, he had been gone for more than a year without even sending a letter.

"Qian Renxue, Qian Renfeng. Those are good names." Qian Daoliu slowly raised his head and swept his gaze over Ah Yin, scrutinizing her.

"Father..." Ah Yin clutched the hem of her skirt, not daring to meet the eyes of this Peerless Douluo.

"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 he raised a hand and summoned Angel Divine Power, enveloping Ah Yin in it. Golden light then sank into her body.

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

"Every portion of divine power I can draw upon is extremely precious. This portion can help conceal your Soul Beast aura."

"Unless someone is a Peerless Douluo like me and also the high priest of a god, they will be unable to see through your identity."

Qian Daoliu said calmly, "Don't overthink it, and don't be so restrained. I have no objections to you."

"Yes... Father." Ah Yin felt a weight lift from her heart.

She had originally worried that Qian Daoliu would not accept a daughter-in-law who was a Transformed Soul Beast. Now, it seemed she had simply been overthinking it.

"How wonderful... How wonderful... Little Xunji is as good as useless now. From now on, you two will be the successors of my Spirit Hall!"

Qian Daoliu's face was filled with an intense smile.

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

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

"It's only because you brought me two precious grandchildren. Otherwise, I would have broken your legs!"

Hearing this, Qian Xunji scratched his head.

It wasn't as though I had a choice. Didn't I go out to give you a granddaughter and grandson? Just look at yourself—you're grinning so widely after seeing them.

"From now on, Xiao Xue and Xiao Feng will be raised in the Worship Hall. I will personally teach them..." Qian Daoliu said calmly.

"No..." Ah Yin blurted out immediately. She regretted it as soon as the words left her mouth, then tactfully continued, "Father, they were only just born..."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu nodded. "I'm not an overbearing person. Send them to the Worship Hall after they awaken their Martial Souls. Besides, the Worship Hall and Papal Palace are so close. If you miss the children then, you can come straight to the Worship Hall."

"Yes, Father." Ah Yin nodded.

"Although this brat Xunji did something rather beastly this past year, at least he has left behind heirs." Light Feather Douluo spoke up. "Big Brother, you must raise Xiao Xue and Xiao Feng well. Don't let them turn out crooked."

As he spoke, he glanced at Qian Xunji, clearly implying that Xunji was the one who had turned out crooked.

Qian Xunji shook his head helplessly. "How can you blame me? I worked hard too, you know!"

Qian Daoliu handed the two children to Ah Yin, then said, "Take the children outside first. I have some matters to discuss with Xunji."

Hearing this, Ah Yin took Qian Renxue and Qian Renfeng and made to leave the main hall, planning to wait outside for Xunji.

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

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