Unburdening Her Heart

Long Xiao walked to Qian Renxue's room. The moment he reached the door, he heard the women whispering about something inside.

He quickly pushed the door open and entered.

Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong had been discussing something. When they suddenly saw Long Xiao come in, both their cheeks flushed.

"Master, why are you here?"

"Uh... I came to check on you. Xue'er, are you settling in well here?" Long Xiao coughed, sounding a little awkward.

"Quite well."

Qian Renxue's face was slightly flushed. Bibi Dong had just taught her how to get along with the master and what she needed to be wary of within the sect.

She had also said that the Sea God Douluo was here too, and she was Qian Renxue's greatest enemy. Therefore, the two of them could only win by joining forces.

Under normal circumstances, Qian Renxue would definitely have called her an idiot, but since the person in question was Long Xiao, she truly did not want to resist.

"You two talk. I'll step out for a while." Bibi Dong was very tactful.

Before leaving, she even deliberately shut the door tightly.

"Master, have a seat."

Qian Renxue sat on the edge of the bed. After looking around and finding nowhere suitable for Long Xiao to sit, she invited him to sit beside her on the bed.

Long Xiao did not stand on ceremony and sat beside her. Her fragrance wafted into his nose, and he found it very pleasant.

Qian Renxue lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

"Xue'er, now that you've come here, stop thinking about the Angel God. To attain Angel Godhood, your grandfather would need to be sacrificed."

Long Xiao played with her golden hair.

"What?!"

"My grandfather would be sacrificed?"

At this point, she had not known about this. Her grandfather was even more important to her than that woman. How could he possibly be sacrificed?

She could not accept it!

"I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, ask him yourself. If Tang San becomes the Sea God, the Sea God Douluo will die as well."

Long Xiao did not know what those gods in the Spirit World were thinking. They were not particularly capable, yet they sure knew how to play tricks.

They had come up with some Nine Trials that looked incredibly grand and impressive.

By now, Qian Renxue's eyes had reddened. She found it difficult to accept such a thing.

Long Xiao hurriedly took her little hand. He simply could not bear to see such a beautiful woman cry in front of him. He only wanted to comfort her, nothing more.

Seeing that Qian Renxue was still sobbing, Long Xiao naturally pulled her into his embrace.

"Xue'er, don't we have a chance to change all this now? You can forget that Angel Godhood. Cultivate properly here with your grandfather, and you can achieve something thousands of times greater than the Angel God. Might makes right. When the time comes, you can change the rules however you want."

Long Xiao coaxed her softly. He truly liked this golden-haired beauty.

Qian Renxue raised her lovely, tear-streaked face and softly hummed in acknowledgment.

The master was right. She now had a better opportunity. She wanted to become stronger.

She could forget about Angel Godhood. It was something that harmed people.

Perhaps Bibi Dong had been right.

Qian Renxue curled up in Long Xiao's arms like a little cat.

Long Xiao froze for a moment, then rubbed her head.

Qian Renxue was incomparably shy. For some reason, she held Long Xiao in great reverence. As long as it was something he said, she had no way to refuse.

"Xue'er, take that Heavenly Dipper Pill first and see how effective it is," Long Xiao reminded her.

"All right. Please protect me while I cultivate, Master."

Qian Renxue broke free from Long Xiao's embrace, then sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the green pill from her storage soul tool.

Her beautiful eyes looked at Long Xiao doubtfully. "Master, is this pill really that miraculous?"

"Of course. The path of pills is endlessly profound. It isn't something your tiny Spirit Continent can compare to," Long Xiao said with a smile.

"Oh, I understand."

Qian Renxue did not hesitate any longer and immediately swallowed the Heavenly Dipper Pill.

Long Xiao sat beside her and watched her without blinking.

Qian Renxue closed her eyes and felt the surging elemental power within her body. Her heartbeat grew faster and faster. She even felt as though the blood in her body had begun to boil, making her entire body grow hot.

Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and began refining the energy. She was still not very familiar with controlling spiritual energy.

[Ding! Gu Rong, Qian Daoliu, and Chen Xin obtained a total of 5,120 Summoning Points today.]

Hearing the system's sudden notification, Long Xiao was stunned. He had struck it rich. He had more than a thousand points left from the last draw, and now he could perform six Bronze ten-pulls.

It seemed that in the future, he needed to have them help out in nearby towns. Not only that, they also needed to put up notices so anyone with work could come to the Divine Sect.

[Ding! Qian Renxue has broken through to the Tiangang Realm Sixth Layer and received 500 Summoning Points!]

Before he could calm down, another piece of good news arrived.

He looked up and saw that Qian Renxue's aura had indeed grown stronger, but something seemed wrong with her eyes.

"Master, I'm so hot."

Qian Renxue's gaze was extremely unfocused. Like Bo Saixi, it was probably caused by chaotic energy within her body. She needed some time to adapt.

"Master..."

Qian Renxue collapsed into Long Xiao's arms. Her body trembled slightly, and her breath was fragrant as orchids, making her look incredibly enticing.

"Xue'er, then go take a bath first."

"All right..."

Qian Renxue nodded.

Knock, knock!

"Master! Dinner's ready!"

It was already evening. The little cook Xu Jiaojiao was going around gathering everyone for dinner in the dining hall.

"Jiaojiao, no need to call them. The master and Little Xue have something to discuss. Let's eat first."

Bibi Dong walked over and stopped Xu Jiaojiao.

"Oh, all right." She did not know what the master was doing in this newly arrived sister's room. He was usually the most enthusiastic about eating, yet now he was not even having dinner.

But she did not know that somewhere in the sect, golden liquid and crimson blood had spilled out.

Elsewhere.

Mo Duo squatted beside the toilet, his face full of melancholy. There were too few people in the sect, and the toilet business had been poor lately. There was not even anything to clean every day.

He was doing a rather poor job as the toilet manager.

"Forget it. I'll go eat first."

At the Divine Sect's main gate.

Tang San sat at the guard post with one leg crossed over the other, wearing a philosophical expression. No one knew what his right hand was doing.

The Divine Sect's gate was very quiet. At most, a few small wild monsters would sneak in, and he could deal with them using a single Unfixed Storm.

At that moment, three figures appeared at the gate. They were Qian Daoliu and the other two, returning from work.

Chen Xin said, "I earned 1,000 Spirit Stones and 150,000 gold coins today."

Qian Daoliu sighed. "I completed twenty-one tasks. There were no Spirit Stones, only 60,000 gold coins."

Gu Rong said, "You two are hopeless. I earned 200,000 gold coins and exchanged all of it for Spirit Stones. The exchange rate is one Spirit Stone for one hundred gold coins, so I now have 2,000 Spirit Stones."

Qian Daoliu glanced at Gu Rong disdainfully. "Then what the hell are you bragging about? Little Chen Xin effectively earned 2,500 Spirit Stones."

Tang San, who had overheard their conversation from the guard post, hurriedly pulled on his pants and immediately ran out.

"Seniors, you made quite a bit today, didn't you? Lend me some money? I'll trade you immortal herbs for it."
