Little Lin Feng, Wrapped Around Her Finger

Little Lin Feng, Wrapped Around Her Finger

Qian Renxue lowered her head in silence.

How could she not know all this? It was just that whenever she thought of that argument with her mother that day, her heart ached unbearably.

Bibi Dong watched her coldly, then slammed her scepter into the floor with a resounding crash.

"Call me Sister! You are not worthy of calling me that name!"

Qian Renxue clenched her fists tightly and stared fixedly at Bibi Dong, her voice hoarse.

"What did I do wrong? Why do you treat me like this? Would you only be happy if I left?"

Bibi Dong sneered.

"You did nothing wrong. It is simply that your very existence is a mistake!"

Qian Renxue's chest heaved continuously as fury burned within her. Seeing Bibi Dong's lofty, superior manner, an irrepressible urge to rebel rose in her heart.

"In your eyes, I am not even as important as the Papal Throne, am I?"

"That's right."

"Heh." Qian Renxue gazed at Bibi Dong for a long while, then turned and left without the slightest trace of reluctance. "Just wait. I will prove that you are far inferior to me! I will deny everything you have! I accept that mission!"

The cold wind stirred her long hair. This vast Papal Hall instead felt like a cage, suffocating her.

Sorrowful tears spilled uncontrollably from her eyes and scattered into the wind. Her heart hurt too much for words, while rage blazed in her chest.

She left decisively, because she knew that this time, she and Bibi Dong had truly broken apart.

Only after Qian Renxue had disappeared from sight did Bibi Dong return and sit upon the Papal Throne.

An indescribable light flickered in her eyes as her expression shifted repeatedly, her face clouding and clearing.

An evil, violent aura gradually rose from her, and Bibi Dong's entire body even trembled faintly.

After a long while, clarity finally returned to her eyes.

She murmured, "You absolutely cannot remain by my side. I am afraid I will not be able to resist killing you."

Qian Renxue shook her head and looked up at Lin Feng.

"I have reasons why I must go, Xiao Feng. Can you understand?"

Seeing the determination in Qian Renxue's eyes, Lin Feng's words caught in his throat.

It seemed Qian Renxue had deeper reasons for choosing to go to Heavenly Dou. As he was now, he still could not make her stay.

(She was actually just going to run after taking the Immortal Herbs.)

He sighed silently.

"Fine. But we need to stay in touch often, and you cannot stop cultivating either. Wasting your talent would be shameful."

Qian Renxue burst into laughter.

"You really meddle in everything. Why do you sound like my parent?"

"Aren't I? I always thought I raised you, after all. You are so silly and have to ask me about everything."

Qian Renxue's face reddened as she pouted. "What are you talking about? Can you be compared to other people? You have practically read through every theoretical book there is. Why would I not ask when I have a ready-made humanoid treasure trove?"

"Ling Yuan Jie?"

"I'm here. What does the Young Master need?"

Qian Renxue spoke calmly. "While I am gone, I will have to trouble you to keep an eye on Xiao Feng."

Qian Renxue had thought it through well. With her status as Spirit Hall's Young Master, having Ling Yuan keep an eye on Xiao Feng should keep her from abusing her position to pursue him herself.

She was very confident in herself.

Though she was still young, one could already glimpse the peerless beauty she would possess in the future, along with her imposing presence.

Her face was like a bright moon, her brows and eyes picturesque, and her skin fairer than snow. After her Spirit Awakening, she had gained an air of lofty purity, while her figure had already begun to take shape.

In her view, as long as Lin Feng was not an idiot—and considering the kiss from several days ago—there was no way he could escape her grasp.

"...Yes."

Lin Feng looked at the two women before him with some unease. They were clearly both smiling, so why did he feel a chill?

Lin Feng considered it. Perhaps he could keep Qian Renxue from leaving after all. In the end, this matter still required Qian Daoliu's final approval.

Bibi Dong had only just taken office, so her control over Spirit Hall still fell short of Qian Daoliu's.

It was likely because Bibi Dong was being eroded by the Rakshasa God's Will and was in poor condition herself, her temperament extreme, that Qian Daoliu had considered sending Qian Renxue away.

After all, in his eyes, the Angel God's inheritance was the foremost priority.

He did not wish to watch the mother and daughter continually hurt each other here. Moreover, ten levels of Qian Renxue's Innate Soul Power had been bestowed by a god, practically announcing that she was the next Angel God.

Even if her growth was a little slower, Qian Daoliu was not worried about her inheriting the divine position.

Thus, allowing Qian Renxue to grow outside for a while, away from Bibi Dong, before bringing her back for the Divine Examination was also a good option.

But what if he could obtain something to improve Qian Renxue's aptitude? Would that lead to a different choice?

"Heavenly Dou..."

Lin Feng nodded inwardly. Perhaps he could use this chance to seek out Dugu Bo and secure the Immortal Herbs he needed in advance. Besides, if Qian Renxue was going to Heavenly Dou, there was no reason he could not go as well.

As for whether Dugu Bo would refuse when the time came? Then perhaps he would get to see the "weakest Titled Douluo" in action?

In truth, that possibility was minuscule. Dugu Bo himself was a loyal and righteous man. In the original story, he had chosen to fully support Tang San in repayment of a favor, ultimately dying for it.

Yet Tang San seemed not to have left any protection for him or Dugu Yan. The Jade Phosphor Serpent martial soul vanished entirely during the era of Douluo II, while the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well became the Tang family's private backyard.

"Xiao Xue, can you take me to see Grandfather? I have something to report to him."

Qian Renxue's gaze turned deep and shadowed, her finger seemingly brushing carelessly across the corner of her lips.

"From now on, you will call him Grandfather around me too, understand?"

Her gesture stirred something in Lin Feng, and he nodded as if possessed.

Far away, Qian Daoliu, who had been listening with his eyes closed beneath the Angel Statue, twitched at the corner of his mouth. Had he known, he would never have let Xiao Xue interact with Lin Feng so freely. Now his precious granddaughter was about to be stolen away.

Qian Renxue smiled softly and leaned close, her breath warm and fragrant against Lin Feng's ear as she spoke in an extremely quiet voice.

"As repayment for the notes, do you want another taste?"

Lin Feng's ears reddened, but he nodded solemnly.

Yet Qian Renxue became even shyer, the roots of her ears already red as blood. She was quite satisfied by Lin Feng's reaction.

Little Lin Feng, wrapped around her finger.

Ling Yuan clicked her tongue inwardly and gazed toward the distant mountaintop.

"Another taste? What taste?" Qian Daoliu frowned deeply, unable to understand what she meant.

Qian Renxue's lip petals moved soundlessly, but Lin Feng understood her meaning.

"Wait for me to come find you."

"Come on, let's go see Grandfather. Once he sees your research results, he will definitely be astonished."

Beneath the Angel Statue, the four gathered together.

After Lin Feng displayed his latest results,

Qian Daoliu gave Lin Feng a long look before saying, "I can permit you to travel to Heavenly Dou together. However, once Xiao Xue officially begins carrying out her mission, Xiao Feng must return.

"Once things over there have stabilized, you may meet again. It should not take too long.

"As for Xiao Feng's theoretical research, I hope that after you return from Heavenly Dou and reach Soul Elder, you will formally release the results of the first path to the public. The name credited need only be yours."

The three of them were stunned. Ling Yuan directly asked,

"Great Enshrinement, is it really alright to expose Lin Feng so early? With Xiao Feng's current aptitude and the boosts from the later Cultivation Method, he may reach Soul Elder before the age of twelve.

"If he gains great fame before he is strong enough himself, that would still be somewhat..."

Qian Daoliu snorted coldly.

"Some people cannot even break through to Soul Elder, yet their abilities are all for show, and they can still bear the title of Grandmaster.

"Why can't Xiao Feng? Besides, Xiao Feng has our Spirit Hall behind him. Who would dare lay a hand on him? Not to mention that this Cultivation Method can benefit countless soul masters.

"The lower- and middle-tier soul masters will only support it fervently. Even if some sects have fools among them, with the Clear Sky Sect as a precedent, they will not dare step forward."

Qian Renxue would not remain in Heavenly Dou for long. She would soon return to Spirit Hall.
