Expectations on All Sides (Please Bookmark and Recommend)

Spirit Hall!

Qian Daoliu looked dazed for a moment, then hurriedly gave an order:

"Xue'er should be carrying out the Nation-Stealing Plan in the Heaven Dou Empire. How did she get sucked into a Void Rift and end up in another... Higher-Dimensional Space?"

"Send someone to investigate! Contact Snake Lance and Pufferfish. What have those two been doing? They couldn't even protect Xue'er."

Demon Subduing Douluo frowned, cupped his fists, and accepted the order.

"Rest assured, Great Enshrined. I'll investigate at once."

With that, Demon Subduing Douluo left.

Qian Daoliu's gaze grew grave. A Higher-Dimensional Space that knew the Douluo Continent's past, present, and future—could Blue Star be the Divine Realm?

But there seemed to be no trace of the Angel God on Blue Star.

Just how high was this Higher-Dimensional Space...?

Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, Guang Ling, Lion, and Qian Jun all began turning possibilities over in their minds. If everything the young man named Xiao Ran had said on the Sky Screen was true...

If he knew the Douluo Continent's future, had Spirit Hall achieved its grand ambition of unification?

And had they, the enshrined elders, won glorious merit in that cause, leaving their names in the annals of the Douluo Continent?

At the thought, they looked toward the Sky Screen with anticipation.

Papal Hall!

Bibi Dong was beside herself with rage. Every feature of her exquisite face was twisted.

"The Angel God's bloodline! This must be a scheme of theirs!"

Within Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue's origins had always been a subject no one dared touch. Even the senior members who knew the truth did not dare breathe a word of it.

After all, a master and disciple coupling was hardly something to boast about.

At Bibi Dong's insistence, Qian Renxue had never called her Mother. She had always called her Sister.

Thus, Spirit Hall's lower and middle ranks had never known that Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue were a family of three.

Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong had been master and disciple.

And now Xiao Ran had casually blurted out Spirit Hall's greatest secret and scandal.

Every Soul Master in Spirit Hall watching the Sky Screen, and every Soul Master across the Douluo Continent watching it as well,

now knew that the previous pope, Qian Xunji, and the current pope, Bibi Dong, had a daughter.

That daughter was Qian Renxue.

Beside Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who had always been fiercely loyal to her, and Hu Liena, whom Bibi Dong had raised like a daughter, all lowered their heads. They wished they could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the floor with their toes and disappear into it.

One look at Bibi Dong's blazing fury showed just how angry she was.

Anyone who got on her bad side now

would suffer for it, no matter how close they were to her.

Blue Star!

Xiao Ran's words exploded in Qian Renxue's mind like a thunderclap.

Her red lips parted slightly, and her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. She murmured:

"I... I was sucked into a Void Rift. Did I come straight to the Divine Realm? Are you a deity of the Divine Realm? Is that how you know everything about the Douluo Continent?"

Xiao Ran fished out another potato chip and tossed it into his mouth. Crunching away, he said:

"This isn't the Divine Realm. It's a dimension higher than the Divine Realm. If you want to know about your Douluo God Realm, I could list the details as easily as counting the treasures in my own house."

"I'm not a god, just an ordinary person from a higher dimension."

"Here, have a potato chip. I actually got to meet the real, living Qian Renxue today. Haha..."

Qian Renxue had not fully recovered from her shock. Only after a long while did she come to her senses, her chest rising and falling sharply.

She looked at the potato chip Xiao Ran offered and hesitated. This was food from a higher dimension.

She took the chip and, copying Xiao Ran, put it in her mouth to taste it.

Crunch. The crisp texture and spicy, savory flavor burst across her tongue, making her eyes light up.

It seemed to be ordinary food, yet it was delicious, with a taste that lingered long afterward.

As she ate, Qian Renxue gathered her thoughts. Her eyes shone as she realized what an immense opportunity had fallen into her hands.

Though Xiao Ran said he was only an ordinary person, he lived in a Higher-Dimensional Space, and Qian Renxue treated him with due respect.

She bowed, addressed him as sir, and asked curiously:

"Mr. Xiao, as someone from a Higher-Dimensional Space, you know that my father is Qian Xunji and my mother is Bibi Dong. Since you know who I am, could you tell me Spirit Hall's future?"

Xiao Ran was eager to talk. After all, he was speaking with the real, living Qian Renxue. Part of him also wondered whether, once she learned Spirit Hall's future, she would regret repeatedly showing Tang San mercy.

"Sure. Sit down, and we'll take our time."

At Xiao Ran's invitation, Qian Renxue sat gracefully on the sofa. Years of habit kept her back ramrod straight and her posture proper.

Seeing how tense she was, Xiao Ran smiled, tore open another bag of potato chips, and put it in her hands. He also opened a can of cola and set it before her.

"No need to be so nervous. We've met now, so we're friends. Friends can relax around each other."

With Xiao Ran's reassurance, Qian Renxue relaxed her back a little, and the tension left her body.

She took a bite of the crisp, spicy, savory chips, then a sip of cola. The bubbles bursting against her tongue eased her mood.

"These potato chips are delicious, and this drink is good too. Can ordinary people in your higher dimension enjoy things like this? Your quality of life is no worse than that of the nobles on the Douluo Continent."

Xiao Ran lifted his chin with pride.

"Of course. Blue Star's productivity has soared. Even an ordinary person like me can live comfortably, without worrying about food or clothing."

Qian Renxue alternated between chips and cola, delight flickering in her eyes. The anxiety and unfamiliarity she had felt upon arriving on Blue Star were fading fast.

"Blue Star truly deserves to be called a Higher-Dimensional Space. Letting ordinary people live without worrying about food or clothing—it's nothing short of a miracle."

Douluo Continent!

Everyone watching the Sky Screen was so impatient they could have scratched their ears raw.

Could you two stop marveling at everything?

We're still waiting to hear about Spirit Hall's future!

Everyone's heart was in their throat...

Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, Ning Fengzhi, and the others naturally hoped Spirit Hall would be destroyed.

Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, Lion, and the others all hoped Xiao Ran would say that Spirit Hall had united the Douluo Continent.

As they saw it, given Spirit Hall's overwhelming strength, uniting the Douluo Continent was only natural. Failing to unite it would be the strange outcome.

Only Bibi Dong, the pope of Spirit Hall, hoped for its destruction. Better still if it happened by her own hand.
