Radiant Saint Feather Sparrow—Can She Call Me Dad?

After searching for a day and a half, Qian Renxue was starting to lose it.

"I really can't take this anymore."

"Why are all the Spirit Beasts we find around nine thousand years old? Why can't we find a ten-thousand-year one?"

Qian Renxue was on the verge of a breakdown.

After searching for a day and a half, every suitable Spirit Beast they found was around nine thousand years old, or just shy of ten thousand.

Are they picking on me because they think I'm easy to bully?!

"Could it possibly be your problem?"

Su Yu teased her.

"Impossible. I'm naturally beautiful and pure as ice and jade. How could it be my problem?"

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at Su Yu.

He stood there every day making sarcastic remarks.

This brat of a little brother really deserved a beating.

Still, she had gotten familiar with him quickly, with no sense of distance between them.

"Yes, yes, you narcissistic big sister."

Su Yu covered his ears, not wanting to hear any more.

"Stinky little brother." Qian Renxue gave a delicate snort.

Greenlark Douluo merely smiled at the sight.

Finding a Spirit Beast suitable for Qian Renxue really was not easy.

"Let's wait a little longer. What if we get lucky?"

Greenlark Douluo decided to wait nearby. They said that when the sun shone most brilliantly, those Spirit Beasts would often appear.

"Alright."

The three unanimously decided to wait quietly where they were. If luck was on their side, perhaps they would encounter a suitable Spirit Beast.

The three of them then waited quietly in place.

By afternoon, when the sunlight was at its strongest, Greenlark Douluo pricked up his ears and keenly caught a disturbance far in the distance.

"Go!"

Greenlark Douluo gave the order. "Follow me."

He set off toward the target, with Su Yu and Qian Renxue close behind.

Both of them possessed Angel Martial Souls.

That made tracking much easier for them.

Not long afterward, the three arrived at a habitat in a plateau region.

They followed the sound and looked over.

Amid the cliff walls suffused with holy light stood a Spirit Beast covered in golden-white feathers. Its pupils gleamed brilliant gold, fine motes of light drifted around it, and its nature was filled with pure light energy.

"That's a Radiant Saint Feather Sparrow more than twenty thousand years old!"

Greenlark Douluo was overjoyed.

It was actually such a Spirit Beast.

They had found it without any effort at all.

"Great, we finally found one."

Qian Renxue was ecstatic.

"Third Grandpa, do it. I'm ready."

Qian Renxue was afraid the Radiant Saint Feather Sparrow would escape.

"Don't worry."

Greenlark Douluo watched the Radiant Saint Feather Sparrow absorbing light energy and locked onto his target.

"Third Soul Skill, Feather Fist!"

Greenlark Douluo shouted.

His right arm turned golden, and his muscles began to swell.

He threw a punch.

Within the gust of his punch, the golden light gradually took the shape of sharp feathers, their pointed tips gleaming blindingly beneath the sun.

The enormous phantom fist was incredibly fast.

Seeing the fist shadow flying toward it, the Radiant Saint Feather Sparrow was horrified. It was already too late to dodge.

"Caw!"

The Radiant Saint Feather Sparrow cried out and beat its wings as it charged headlong into the fist shadow.

It had thought it could withstand the blow head-on, but in an instant, it was blasted away and smashed hard into the ground.

"Is this Spirit Beast stupid? It actually took that head-on!"

It was the first time Qian Renxue had seen such a stubborn Spirit Beast.

"I hope Sister Xue'er doesn't become stupid after absorbing this Spirit Beast." Su Yu chuckled twice.

Qian Renxue shot him a glare. "You're the stupid one. Your sister is very smart."

As they joked, the three walked down and saw that the Radiant Saint Feather Sparrow below was already at death's door.

Qian Renxue acted decisively, drawing the short sword at her waist and delivering the Radiant Saint Feather Sparrow its final blow.

Its head was severed, and a dark, profound ten-thousand-year soul ring began to gather above its corpse.

"Ten-thousand-year soul ring, here I come!"

Qian Renxue was thrilled and immediately sat down to begin absorbing it.

The pressure of a twenty-thousand-year soul ring did pose a small challenge to Qian Renxue, but she was Qian Renxue—the Six-Winged Angel and the future inheritor of the Angel God.

"She's finally absorbing it." Su Yu let out a long breath and sat on the ground. "We've been delayed for nearly two days. My mouth is practically dry from spending time with this big sister."

He definitely did not want to keep doing this.

It was unbearably exhausting.

"Xiaoyu, I think you get along well with Xiaoxue."

"This is the first time Xiaoxue has been so talkative. She was never much of a talker before."

"She went undercover in Tiandou City at the age of nine. Just imagine it—leaving Spirit Hall at nine years old. Those years were difficult for her, but Xiaoxue has become much more cheerful now."

Greenlark Douluo was more than happy to see the two bicker.

It was better than Qian Renxue being gloomy all day.

"So, Sister Xue'er's mother is the current Pope?" Su Yu asked curiously.

Greenlark Douluo paused. He had not wanted Su Yu to know so soon, but Su Yu was far too clever to keep it from for long.

Greenlark Douluo nodded in admission. "That's right. Bibi Dong is Sister Xue'er's mother and the Pope of Spirit Hall, but their relationship is terrible. The mother and daughter are like fire and water. Or rather, Bibi Dong dislikes Xiaoxue. There is practically no maternal love to speak of."

Su Yu frowned. "Is that why Sister Xue'er came to the Heaven Dou Empire at nine years old to go undercover, so her mother would see her in a new light?"

Greenlark Douluo nodded. "That was part of the reason. Of course, there was also another very important matter."

"What matter?"

Seeing Greenlark Douluo hesitate, Su Yu was deeply puzzled.

"Just say it, Grandpa Qingluan. It's not as though you're talking about something shameful." Su Yu urged.

Greenlark Douluo sighed. "Xiaoyu, when Xiaoxue left Spirit Hall, part of the reason was also her father's death. I think you should know about that, right?"

Su Yu put on a look of sudden realization. "Could the Former Pope have been Sister Xue'er's father?"

"That's right."

Greenlark Douluo was rather amazed that Su Yu's mind turned so quickly.

Su Yu quickly got into character and said teasingly, "Then can Sister Xue'er call me Dad?"

Greenlark Douluo: ???

What was going on? Su Yu had inserted himself into Qian Xunji's identity.

"Xiaoyu, you can't joke about that." Greenlark Douluo said seriously. "Xiaoxue might get angry."

Su Yu smiled. "Sister Xue'er won't get angry. Besides, would she really have the heart to hit me?"

"That... actually seems to make a little sense."

Greenlark Douluo nodded thoughtfully.

What Su Yu said did make sense.

Qian Renxue certainly would not have the heart to hit Su Yu. Not only did he look exactly like the Former Pope, but he had also brought out an incomparably precious Immortal Herb.

If Qian Renxue hit him...

Would that count as being unfilial?

After falling into deep thought, Greenlark Douluo suddenly snapped awake and immediately slapped himself.

What unfilial? He had actually thought that.

Xiaoyu merely resembled the Former Pope. He was not really Xiaoxue's father.

Those were entirely different matters.

Greenlark Douluo hurriedly repented inwardly, then corrected Su Yu.

"Xiaoyu, we absolutely cannot do that. Wouldn't things become a complete mess if you did?"
