[Love-Starved Little Angel: Little Mom, didn't my other dad just ground you? You still dare go out? Aren't you afraid he'll spank you? That would be fun.]

Little Qian Renxue stared at the chat window with an adorable smile.

Then she went to her father's bedchamber.

She saw her father lying on the bed, looking a sorry sight, his hair curled by electricity and his body still injured.

Her eyes brimmed with tears.

Her father treated her so well.

Yet that same father had hurt Big Mom so terribly.

To her, he was an angel; to Big Mom, he was a demon.

Facing her father left her with complicated feelings.

She even felt some resentment toward the Angel Ancestral God.

"Daddy, are you feeling any better?"

Little Xue'er leaned against the bedside, gazing at Qian Xunji with heartache.

Poor Daddy! she thought.

"Don't be sad, Xue'er. Daddy only has some flesh wounds!"

Qian Xunji stroked Little Xue'er's head. With tears welling in her eyes, the little girl was both adorable and heartbreaking.

All his affection for her hadn't been wasted.

He felt deeply aggrieved,

not knowing

why the Angel Ancestral God had punished him.

This was the first time since Spirit Hall's founding.

It was as though he had offended the Angel Ancestral God's divine majesty.

[Spirit Hall Saintess: Once I come back stronger from this trip, I'll definitely make Qian Xunji's and Qian Daoliu's jaws drop. If that lecher Qian Xunji dares hit me then, Qian Daoliu won't allow it. After all, Qian Daoliu values talent too.]

[Love-Starved Little Angel: Yep, Grandpa absolutely loves talented people! Good luck getting out of Spirit Hall, Little Mom.]

"I'm so hungry, but the food in this academy's cafeteria tastes awful!"

"Yeah."

"My carrots still taste better."

As Li Qiu watched the Chat Window, he heard Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu talking outside the dormitory.

His stomach was growling with hunger too.

"Come on. I'll take you to Suotuo City for a meal."

Li Qiu walked out of the dormitory and took the Soul-Guide Car out of his Storage Space. It grew steadily larger, appearing before the three beauties.

"Wow, what's this? Its lines are so sleek!"

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened as she curiously studied the blue-purple steel monster.

Zhu Zhuqing walked over to examine the front of the car too.

Xiao Wu also stared at its front, pointing her carrot at the two large headlights. "Are those its eyes? It isn't alive, is it?"

"Such big eyes!"

After examining the eyes, Zhu Zhuqing circled around it and studied its body.

"This looks a lot like a carriage. It has four wheel-like things too, but they're wrapped in steel and that black stuff. Is this some kind of vehicle like a carriage?"

"Smart girl. This is called a Soul-Guide Car. You only need Soul Power to drive it, and it's incredibly fast!"

Li Qiu opened the door and settled into the driver's seat.

"It's that amazing? I want to get in! How do I do that?" Ning Rongrong was eager to try.

Li Qiu opened the front and rear doors, and Ning Rongrong climbed into the passenger seat.

Zhu Zhuqing climbed into the back.

A glimpse of snowy white was visible...

"Xiao Wu, where are you going?" Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar walked out of the dormitory and spotted the dazzling steel monster.

They all froze where they stood.

"Damn, what's this thing? It looks so awesome!"

"Wow, so cool..."

Ma Hongjun and Oscar circled the car as though they had discovered a priceless treasure.

"Brother Qiu, did you forge this?"

Ma Hongjun walked up to the window, lowered his head, and asked Li Qiu with a smile.

Oscar walked over too.

Dai Mubai saw that Li Qiu had come up with something else again, drawing everyone's attention.

This guy is so damned annoying.

He's stolen all the limelight.

He used to be the center of attention at Shrek.

Everyone had revolved around him.

The contrast with his current situation left him deeply displeased.

Tang San caught the hem of Xiao Wu's clothes, but she shook him off and climbed into the back to sit with Zhu Zhuqing.

Tang San wanted to get in too, but Li Qiu closed the door.

Whoosh! A pair of wings extended from the roof, energy blasted from the rear, and the car soared into the sky.

"Holy shit... this car can fly too!"

"Awesome..."

"What the hell!"

Tang San stood stunned for several seconds. He had thought that, as a blacksmith's son with considerable forging skill, he could forge a Soul-Guide Car just like this if he studied hard enough.

But this thing could actually fly.

That put it beyond his abilities.

It had to be incredibly complicated.

Envy filled his face.

Dai Mubai stared wide-eyed at the Soul-Guide Car flying away.

Apart from Titled Douluo and Soul Masters with winged Martial Souls, who could fly,

everyone else could only dream of taking to the air.

He had never expected Li Qiu to be capable of making a flying Soul Tool like this.

If it could be mass-produced, it would surely overturn the order of the Douluo Continent.

Inside the car, Ning Rongrong looked this way and that, watching the scenery race backward outside.

She was intensely curious.

To think such a miraculous thing existed in the world! "Would you sell this Soul-Guide Car? I'll give you a hundred and fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

"It's not for sale!"

Li Qiu refused outright.

"Two hundred thousand!"

"I don't need Gold Soul Coins!"

"Boo-hoo..."

Ning Rongrong was speechless. Such a wonderful thing, yet it wasn't hers.

And he wouldn't even sell it. What a shame.

In the back, Xiao Wu touched everything within reach, as though she had discovered a whole new continent.

Zhu Zhuqing also looked around curiously at the car's interior.

Young Bibi Dong sent a maid to invite Elder Lion over.

"What does the Saintess want with me?" Elder Lion asked, frowning at the Saintess's maid.

"The Saintess said she'd explain when you arrived. I don't know either," the maid said with a bow.

"Very well! Go back first. I'll come shortly!"

Elder Lion nodded as he spoke.

"Yes!" The maid turned and left.

Only some time after the maid had left did Elder Lion quietly slip out of his hall.

He moved like a thief, terrified someone might notice him.

Then he sneaked away.

Of course, only after learning that the Pope was not in the Pope's Hall did he dart toward the Saintess Hall.

After all, that old schemer of a Pope occasionally peeked at his precious disciple from the Pope's Hall.

When he reached the Saintess Hall, the maid opened the door.

Elder Lion walked inside.

"Your Highness, what did you need this old man for?" Elder Lion asked.

"I'd like you to take me somewhere, Elder Lion!"

Young Bibi Dong spoke with a smile.

"Uh... why do you always come to me? The last time I took you out, I lost half a year's salary. I don't want the Pope punishing me again!"

Elder Lion shook his head.

"I'll cover your half-year's salary, and I'll give you a treasure afterward."

Young Bibi Dong spoke.

[Spirit Hall Saintess: If I promise Elder Lion an immortal herb, can his Martial Soul evolve? Can his level increase? @A Leaf Knows Autumn.]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: He can gain one level. Whether his Martial Soul evolves depends on his luck. For some people, eating it might do the trick, but for others, it won't. After all, he's already over level ninety, so his Martial Soul may have become fixed.]

[Spirit Hall Saintess: Okay!]

Young Bibi Dong realized that she had finished asking her questions without thanking him.

[Thank you, Group Owner.]

"This treasure can raise your level by one, Elder Lion. It can also improve your Martial Soul's quality or strengthen its attacks, and give you greater innate potential!"

Young Bibi Dong felt she shouldn't promise evolution, so she chose this vaguer wording instead.

She couldn't get carried away making promises about certain things.

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: No problem. I'm out for a drive with three pretty girls right now!]

Li Qiu even took a selfie and sent it to the group.
