Having weathered countless storms, Chen Xin felt curious about the Father Chen Qingling kept mentioning for the first time.
"Qingling, who exactly is your father?"
"As far as I know, even a Titled Douluo can't teleport items through the air. Not even a Douluo above that level could do it."
As he spoke, Chen Xin's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be possible...
That Chen Qingling's Father was not a Titled Douluo, but one of the gods from the legends of Douluo Continent?
The absurd thought had barely surfaced before Chen Xin dismissed it.
Impossible.
Chen Qingling's Father could never be a god!
Perhaps teleporting items through the air was his Martial Soul Ability?
After all, Martial Soul Abilities came in all sorts of strange forms. There were always one or two Martial Souls that could leave people dumbfounded.
Chen Qingling blinked, swaying her little head as she thought for a moment.
"Hmm... my Father..."
"He's a very amazing person. There's nothing he can't do!"
Chen Qingling spared no praise when it came to her Father.
It was a boastful claim made without a second thought, yet Chen Xin and Ning Rongrong believed it completely.
A glimmer flashed in Chen Xin's eyes. "There's nothing he can't do?"
"If I ever get the chance, I really want to meet your Father, Qingling, and see what kind of figure he is."
Chen Qingling said, "But my Father has never liked interacting with outsiders..."
"Is that so?"
This only reinforced Chen Xin's conviction. Only the temperaments of the strong were strange and unfathomable.
Ning Rongrong looked at her with admiration, her gaze filled with envy.
"Qingling, you're so lucky to have such an amazing Father."
"Alright, alright. Get ready. It's time for us to leave the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Yay!"
Chen Qingling danced excitedly. This was her first time going out to see the world beyond.
Before long, the group boarded the luxurious carriage that had been arranged in advance.
Sitting in the first luxurious carriage of her life, Chen Qingling smiled the entire way as she looked at the scenery beyond the curtains.
"Wow, so this is the outside world?"
"It's so beautiful!"
Chen Xin smiled faintly and pointed at Chen Qingling with a cheerful expression.
"There's no rush to return to the sect first. Once we reach Heaven Dou Imperial City, I'll take you through its bustling streets."
"Okay!"
Chen Qingling's heart raced, and her hands trembled with excitement.
Half a day later.
The luxurious carriage entered Heaven Dou Imperial City.
Shouts and cries of vendors constantly rang out along the bustling streets, making the place extraordinarily lively.
"Get out, Qingling. Stay close to us, and don't get separated."
"Got it."
The three of them got out of the carriage and walked down the prosperous street, where all kinds of goods were displayed on both sides.
Chen Qingling's eyes sparkled as she took it all in, filled with curiosity about everything here.
"Hehehe, how is it? Does everything here seem new and fascinating to you?"
Chen Qingling nodded. "The outside world is obviously so wonderful, but Father deceived me for so long. He's awful!"
"Once I find my Mother, I'll definitely have her teach Father a harsh lesson."
What a filial daughter.
Then, Chen Qingling's gaze became firmly fixed on an exquisite hairpin at a stall.
"It's so pretty..."
The stall owner beamed and eagerly praised Chen Qingling.
"Miss, you have a fine eye."
"This hairpin is made of Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda jade. It's a rare treasure."
"You have such a lovely face, miss. You and this hairpin are a perfect match, a match made by hea—"
"How much is it?"
Ning Rongrong cut him off. She had seen far too many people like this.
They lavishly praised their goods, though they knew perfectly well what kind of stuff they really were selling. They just wanted to fetch a better price.
Still, there was one thing he had gotten right.
Chen Qingling did have a lovely face!
Her clothing was plain and unadorned, yet it could not hide her delicate, pretty features.
If she were properly dressed up, she would definitely become a peerless beauty capable of toppling kingdoms.
Even Ning Rongrong, who had lived a life of luxury, was immensely envious of Chen Qingling's appearance and figure.
