"Please calm your anger, Your Holiness!" Chrysanthemum Douluo trembled all over. "Old Ghost was not speaking nonsense."
"Qian Renchu defeated Old Ghost and me by himself. Later, Demon Bear, Ling Yuan, and Ghost Leopard, along with the three great worshippers Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, and Guang Ling, also joined the battle!"
"Young Master Qian Renchu toyed with all of us by himself!"
"Was the person you mentioned truly Qian Renchu?" Upon hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo's words, Bibi Dong's body trembled slightly as she grew tense.
If it truly was Qian Renchu, then it was terrifying—far too terrifying!
Back then, Bibi Dong had nearly killed Qian Renchu, and he had declared that one day, he would kill her.
Bibi Dong had dismissed it.
But now? At twenty-three years old, he was already an Ultimate Douluo.
What kind of terrifying feat was that?
"Reporting to Your Holiness, it is absolutely true!"
"Even the Grand Worshipper came and acknowledged Young Master Qian Renchu!" Old Ghost gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart.
"Elder Ju and I found it too unbelievable, so we reported it to you at once!"
At that moment, Bibi Dong's expression became somewhat dazed, and even her body seemed to tremble.
She felt as though a great mountain were pressing down upon her.
"Hmph! So what if he is an Ultimate Douluo? I am still the heir of the Rakshasa God!!"
"You want to touch me, Qian Renchu? You are not qualified!"
"Spirit Hall cannot exist without me, Bibi Dong! Without me, can Spirit Hall continue on?"
Bibi Dong revealed a cold smile.
She had opened the Rakshasa Secret Realm and was the heir of the main god, the Rakshasa God.
Her Soul Power had already reached its peak.
She was the most outstanding Pope in Spirit Hall's history.
She refused to believe that, no matter how powerful Qian Renchu was, he would dare do anything to her!!
"Ha ha ha!"
Watching Bibi Dong on the throne let out that shrill, piercing, chilling laugh, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Old Ghost could not help but shudder.
The two men, who understood each other perfectly, looked at one another.
This woman... hadn't she gone mad?
Spirit City.
Heaven Dou Empire residence.
The Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Shrek Academy, and Heaven Dou Royal Academy, who had come to compete, were all staying in the same hotel.
The hotel had long been surrounded layer upon layer by Heaven Dou Empire knights, its defenses utterly impenetrable.
The Heaven Dou Empire's Crown Prince Xue Qinghe—Qian Renxue—was staying on the highest floor of the hotel.
At that moment, she stood by the window, gazing in the direction of Spirit Mountain.
Before long, the image of her brother, Qian Renchu, surfaced in her memories.
She had attended classes with Qian Renchu, but he always skipped them, saying that Spirit Hall's teachers were feeding them nothing but trash and dregs with their so-called theories of fairness and justice.
She had read books with Qian Renchu, practiced swordsmanship with him, and caught fish for the cats to eat.
In short, wherever Qian Renchu went, she would follow him all the way.
Those had been the happiest days of her life.
After Qian Renchu left, Qian Renxue spent every day weeping.
Qian Renxue had stood atop a cliff and called her brother's name loudly toward the east.
Because she had clearly seen that the dark cloud seventeen years ago had drifted eastward.
Sadly, she had never received an answer.
Was joining the Heaven Dou Empire plan not also her way of numbing herself and putting an end to her longing for Qian Renchu?
But she had failed. Her longing for Qian Renchu had only grown deeper.
Whenever she encountered difficulties, the first person Qian Renxue thought of was Qian Renchu. She would wonder, If Brother were here, what would he do?
Now that she saw the Spirit Mountain of old, she felt as though everything had changed while the world remained the same.
Her appearance suddenly changed as well.
From an ordinary, unremarkable man with a straight nose and square mouth, she transformed into a peerlessly beautiful woman.
Qian Renxue's true appearance was simply breathtaking. Her soft golden hair draped over her shoulders, her features were flawless, and her pair of golden eyes shimmered like gemstones.
Her figure was even more impeccable—graceful and curvaceous, elegant as jade!
"Brother, where exactly are you?"
"Do you still remember Xiao Xue?"
"You haven't forgotten Xiao Xue already, have you?" Tears streamed down Qian Renxue's face.
"I haven't forgotten. How could I dare forget?"
At that very moment, a gentle, deeply magnetic male voice rang out.
If a voice had suddenly appeared in the room under normal circumstances, Qian Renxue would certainly have been on guard.
But this voice made her entire body burn hot.
Qian Renxue turned around and saw a handsome, imposing man with silver hair like frost standing there.
It was none other than the brother she had longed for day and night—Qian Renchu!
"Brother."
"Brother..."
"Brother!"
Qian Renxue's expression changed far too quickly, from excitement, to disbelief, and finally to overwhelming emotion.
In her excitement, she threw herself directly into Qian Renchu's arms and hugged him with all her strength!
"Brother, it really is you... I'm not dreaming, am I?!"
Feeling the warmth of Qian Renchu's embrace, Qian Renxue burst into tears.
"It's me. I'm sorry, Xiao Xue. I came too late." Qian Renchu stroked Qian Renxue's head.
Originally, Qian Renchu had wanted to stay by Qian Renxue's side for the rest of his life.
Yet he had never expected to be suddenly taken away by the Destruction God King.
They had been separated for seventeen years!!
The only person Qian Renchu truly worried about was his younger sister.
"Brother, where have you been these seventeen years?" After embracing for a long time, Qian Renxue wiped away her tears as she asked.
"I've been cultivating." Qian Renchu summed up everything with a single sentence.
Qian Renxue knew that her brother must have suffered greatly as well.
After all, a six-year-old child taken to an unfamiliar place and separated from friends and family would find it hard to bear.
But Qian Renchu did not say anything, and Qian Renxue did not ask. They understood each other without words.
Qian Renxue smiled gently. "Then Brother must be incredibly strong now, right? When Brother awakened his martial soul back then, even Grandpa was terrified!"
"You must have suffered a great deal going alone to the Heaven Dou Empire, right?" Qian Renchu did not answer immediately, instead looking at the smiling Qian Renxue.
He felt even more strongly that this girl had borne burdens she never should have had to bear.
On Destruction Island, he had his master looking after him and his master's wife caring for him attentively. He had not suffered any hardship.
But Qian Renxue was different. She had taken root in the Heaven Dou Empire for more than ten years, hiding in a dragon's pool and tiger's den. Every step she took must have been like walking on thin ice!
"Brother, actually, I'm fine!"
"It may have been a little difficult to adapt at first, but it got better afterward."
Qian Renxue seemed unwilling to make Qian Renchu worry, speaking as though it were nothing at all.
"Little sister, from now on, your brother will protect you!" Qian Renchu saw how sensible Qian Renxue was and gently embraced her!
Qian Renchu swore that he would never let Qian Renxue suffer another grievance again!!
"Okay!" Qian Renxue nodded vigorously.
The next day.
Amid the deafening sound of gongs and drums, the grand finals of the Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament began!
