Bibi Dong lay sprawled on the ground, curled into a ball. Perhaps she was in too much pain, or perhaps for some other reason, but she had actually fallen into a deep sleep.
As long as she did this, it was as though she could return to the age of six, back to that sunny and breezy day in the Back Garden, nestled in Qian Xunji's arms and living as a carefree little girl.
"Bah!" The Security Team member who had struck her spat on the ground. "She can actually fall asleep? Does she even deserve to sleep?"
"All right, all right. Let's do our duty. Our duty is to watch her and make sure she doesn't die. Besides, I think His Holiness the Pope did the right thing. This is how we should treat a traitor to Spirit Hall! If we simply let her die, wouldn't that be letting her off too easily?"
The two men then continued guarding Bibi Dong and dutifully carried out their responsibilities.
After leaving the alley, Qian Xunji continued strolling around Spirit City with Ah Yin. However, Ah Yin seemed troubled.
"What? You can't bear to see this? Then I won't bring you to see her anymore." Qian Xunji looked at Ah Yin beside him.
Ah Yin slowly said, "I just... I just don't know why, but I feel a little sorry for what happened to her."
Qian Xunji shook his head with a bitter smile. Ah Yin was good in every way, except that she was far too soft-hearted. As expected of the Blue Silver Emperor.
After seeing Bibi Dong, Qian Xunji no longer felt much like shopping either. That beast had actually dared to curse him?
At the thought of this, he inexplicably felt a surge of anger!
What did she mean, it was all because of him? It was clearly her own fault. Who else could she blame for things ending up like this?
Soon, Qian Xunji and Ah Yin arrived at the Worship Hall. They entered through the main door, passed through corridor after corridor, and finally pushed open a door.
Even from outside, they could hear the cheerful laughter inside.
"Xiao Xue, Xiao Feng, I'm your grandfather! Your grandfather's name is Qian Daoliu! That's your second grandfather. Don't be fooled by the fact that he's older than your grandfather—he can't beat me!"
"The others are your third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh grandfathers."
"Xiao Xue, Xiao Feng, grow up quickly! Your grandfather can't wait to see the moment you awaken the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. Your father is a lost cause, so Spirit Hall's future will depend on the two of you!"
The moment he entered, Qian Xunji heard all of this. He then curled his lips and thought, Dad, is it really okay to say that about me right in front of my face?
"Oh? Xunji, you're back? Daughter-in-law, come sit." Qian Daoliu treated Qian Xunji and Ah Yin in completely different ways.
If Qian Xunji had brought Ah Yin back directly back then, he definitely would have cared about her identity as a Soul Beast.
But by the time Qian Xunji brought Ah Yin back, she had already given the Qian Clan two precious children. Even if she was a Soul Beast, it didn't matter!
He even felt that the Qian Clan had wronged Ah Yin. After all, they already had children, yet they still hadn't held a wedding for her.
No matter what, Ah Yin was the mother of two children, as well as the mother of two future hopes for Spirit Hall!
Ah Yin sat to the side with a smile on her face, watching the seven elders play with the two little ones.
Qian Xunji, meanwhile, sat down beside Ah Yin with his cheeks puffed out in anger.
What is this? So I'm the least important person in the family? So this is what it means to forget your son once you have grandchildren? Have some conscience!
"Xunji, looking at these two little ones, it seems they really like staying with their father." Ah Yin covered her mouth and giggled.
"What are you talking about? How old are these two little ones? They can't even speak yet. I think they're just annoyed by Dad."
"Xunji, I think your skin is itching. Xiao Xue and Xiao Feng clearly like staying with this old man!"
Qian Daoliu looked at the two grinning little ones, his face beaming with joy as he scolded Qian Xunji.
"Yes, yes, you're right." Qian Xunji did not argue. It would be useless even if he did, and he might even get hit.
Before long, evening arrived. Qian Renxue and Qian Renfeng were already drowsy, and Qian Xunji glanced at the sky outside the window.
"Dad, it's getting late. We'll take Xiao Xue and Xiao Feng back first." Qian Xunji rose as he spoke.
"Leaving? Why the hurry? Stay and eat here." Qian Daoliu truly couldn't bear to let the two precious little ones leave, even though the Papal Palace and the Worship Hall were not far apart.
"Then forget it. We'll go back for now and come again tomorrow." Qian Xunji replied.
"You can stay away. Just have your daughter-in-law, Xiao Xue, and Xiao Feng come over. After all, you're a very busy man as the Pope." Qian Daoliu said.
"Then perhaps none of us should come, so we won't disturb your cultivation, Dad." Qian Xunji shot back.
"All right, all right, go on, go on. Just seeing you makes me annoyed. My two grandsons are much easier on the eyes." As Qian Daoliu spoke, he handed over the two grandsons in his arms, his face full of reluctance.
Ah Yin smiled as she watched the grandfather and grandson bicker. This kind of life was quite nice. It was just that Qian Xunji was too busy. If only he had more time to spend with her and the two children.
Still, she felt it would be soon. Very soon, Qian Xunji would have plenty of time. After all, he had to set up that something-or-other pavilion.
Qian Daoliu watched the two of them leave with a reluctant expression. Of course, he was not reluctant to part with Qian Xunji and Ah Yin. He was reluctant to part with his grandsons.
"Big Brother, they're already gone. What are you still looking at?" Golden Crocodile Douluo nudged Qian Daoliu with his elbow.
"Ahem!" Qian Daoliu withdrew his gaze. "When will these two little fellows grow up? Once they do, they'll be able to come here on their own."
The other worshippers understood Qian Daoliu's feelings as well. Let alone Qian Daoliu—even they all adored the two little ones.
It could be said that ever since they were born and brought to Spirit City, they had been treated like the center of attention. All seven worshippers of the Worship Hall adored them immensely.
After leaving the Worship Hall, Qian Xunji and Ah Yin naturally returned to the Papal Palace and went back to their room.
Ah Yin held the two children against her chest before looking at Qian Xunji. "What are you looking at?"
Qian Xunji spread his hands and said with a smile, "Of course I'm watching you feed them. It's not as if I haven't seen it before."
Ah Yin no longer blushed. Over the past year, Qian Xunji had more or less desensitized her. When it came to certain matters, Qian Xunji was shameless.
"If you want to watch, then watch. How come you're hungry too?" Ah Yin asked.
Hearing this, Qian Xunji's old face flushed. What did she mean, he was hungry too? Ah Yin, you've become naughty as well.
"Ah Yin, you've become naughty too. Of course, if you're willing to share, I wouldn't say no!" Qian Xunji said shamelessly.
"You shameless old rascal. You're already so old, yet you're still fighting children for food. I'll feed you after I'm done feeding the children."
After saying this, Ah Yin spat to the side. "You shameless old rascal."
Qian Xunji smiled without taking offense, then lay down directly on the bed. This life was truly comfortable.
