Qian Daoliu Saw Red: You Little Bastard, You Really Know How to Play, Huh?!

Ever since learning that Qian Renxue wanted to return to Spirit City, Qian Daoliu had begun preparing for her travels.

After gathering whale rubber in large quantities from the East Sea Coast and trying it himself, Qian Daoliu confirmed its effects.

Though that piece of Millennium Whale Rubber smelled somewhat fishy, its effects were genuine.

Because of the other effects that whale rubber brought.

In a daze, he seemed to have dreamed of the young Xi Xi that day.

She was still as beautiful and captivating as ever, while he was already middle-aged.

Quietly gazing at the empty Douluo Hall, he let out a sigh and waited for Qian Renxue and Lin Feng to arrive.

At the foot of the mountain, within the city.

Dugu Bo was playing around with Dugu Yan, who sat on his shoulders.

Her little hands tugged at Dugu Bo's hair, which had returned to black.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, look over there. Isn't that Brother Lin?"

Dugu Bo put down the food in his hand and looked in the direction Dugu Yan was pointing with surprise.

After setting Dugu Yan down, he cursed himself inwardly. His Spiritual Power was still lacking.

His brow rose. The little girl beside Lin Feng...

She truly had bright eyes, pearly teeth, golden hair, skin like snow, and peerless bearing.

Her undisguised noble aura, paired with those clear yet somewhat cool eyes, made her identity all too obvious.

He looked down at Dugu Yan, who was eating candy and tilting her head as she watched Lin Feng's group, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

No wonder that brat had kept refusing. So that person was this extraordinary.

Even the other woman beside him, who carried the aura of a Soul Douluo, possessed exceptional grace. His Yan Yan could not compare at all.

As Lin Feng and the others approached.

Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes slightly. Seeing that neither of Lin Feng's hands was free, a teasing look entered his eyes.

"Long time no see, Xiao Feng. You must have been living quite happily these days. And who might these two be?"

Ignoring the implication in Dugu Bo's eyes, Lin Feng introduced them.

"This is Ling Yuan JieJie, an eighty-fifth-rank Soul Douluo.

"This is Xiao Xue."

"Big Brother, is this Xue JieJie your fiancée? She's so pretty!"

Dugu Yan's eyes sparkled.

Actually, both of them were.

Qian Renxue's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Yes, yes, Yan Yan is right. Here, have a Lollipop as a reward."

As she spoke, she took out a Lollipop that had somehow been placed in her Storage Bag and handed it to Dugu Yan.

"Thank you, Xue JieJie."

Dugu Yan's cheeks reddened. This Xue JieJie was so strange. Why did she keep pinching her cheeks?

Qian Renxue played with her fondly for a while before standing up.

"Senior Dugu, have you been enjoying your stay in Spirit City?"

Dugu Bo stroked his beard and chuckled.

"Of course I have. This old man has been living very well these days."

Not only had he obtained an eighty-eight-thousand-year Ninth Soul Ring without mishap or injury, he had also gained a Soul Skill that suited him exceptionally well.

Moreover, there was practically nothing of substance for him to do in Spirit City.

Although those old fellows of his generation had kept their distance from him because he had previously flaunted his relationship with Qian Daoliu, that only proved that he now held an indispensable position within Spirit Hall.

Every day, he simply took Dugu Yan out to play, and at the beginning of each month, he could collect several thousand Gold Soul Coins. Life could not be sweeter.

Ling Yuan JieJie smiled.

"Senior Dugu, it's been nearly a year already."

Dugu Bo's heart tightened. Had it been that long already?

He raised his head to look at the sky.

"What one year, two years, three years? Time does pass quickly, haha. That's perfectly normal. Once Yan Yan grows up, I plan to send her to the Primary Academy here to study. What do you think?"

Lin Feng secretly laughed. If someone told Dugu Bo to leave now, he probably would not want to go.

Once his theory was published, Dugu Bo would likely have to ask him for a position so he could do some actual work.

"Of course. If Yan Yan wants to study at Spirit Hall's academy, I will certainly arrange the best teachers for her."

"Thank you, Xue JieJie."

Dugu Yan tugged at Qian Renxue's skirt, signaling for her to crouch down.

Dugu Yan glanced at Ling Yuan JieJie, then leaned close to Qian Renxue's ear and softly asked, "Xue JieJie, is this sister also Brother Lin's fiancée?"

Qian Renxue blushed and nodded slightly.

"Then can Yan Yan also..."

Qian Renxue's eyes widened. "No!"

"Oh... why?" Dugu Yan pursed her lips, blinking her eyes as tears threatened to spill out.

The sight made Qian Renxue panic a little.

"Yan Yan, listen to me."

How could the whispers between the two possibly escape the Spirit Masters present?

Dugu Bo clicked his tongue twice, looking teasingly at Lin Feng and Ling Yuan JieJie.

Yet what greeted him was Ling Yuan JieJie's icy gaze, filled with an intense warning.

Damn.

Dugu Bo was startled. That look was terrifying.

Avoiding Ling Yuan JieJie's gaze, he pulled Lin Feng aside and used Telepathic Communication.

"Kid, you're something else. Aren't you afraid of angering the Great Enshrinement?"

Lin Feng rolled his eyes at him.

"Why do you care? Xiao Xue isn't angry."

Dugu Bo was momentarily stunned by his response.

"By the way, where's that little sister of yours who's about the same age as Yan Yan? Why isn't she with you? Did she run off in a jealous fit?"

Lin Feng shrugged. That little sister was behind them, counseling your granddaughter.

"Something like that."

"Haha, so she's still a bit difficult to deal with, isn't she?" Dugu Bo gloated.

"It's not too bad. We need to go report back to the Great Enshrinement. We'll catch up another day, Grandpa Dugu?"

Dugu Bo nodded and Pulled Dugu Yan over, who had been coaxed into beaming by Qian Renxue.

"Fine. My residence in this city is right there. I'm there every day. You're welcome anytime."

After a moment of thought, he added, "That Broken Chrysanthemum... well, he can come too."

Lin Feng laughed. Had they really developed a bond from fighting?

"Goodbye, Xue JieJie, Ling Yuan JieJie, and Brother Lin. Yan Yan will wait for you to Find Me and play with me~"

On the only road leading to Douluo Hall, Qian Renxue hummed twice.

"I didn't expect that Dugu Yan still couldn't forget you. She even remembers Dugu Bo's joke from back then, about wanting you to become her husband?

"Xiao Feng, you really are quite charming~"

Lin Feng rubbed his forehead.

"She's just a child. You can't take that seriously. Are you even jealous of a child?"

Qian Renxue looked at the slender hand in Lin Feng's other hand and smiled.

"What do you think?"

From afar, Qian Daoliu watched Lin Feng holding two soft hands and fell into deep thought.

His heart went cold.

Although he had prepared himself back when Qian Renxue had paid Lin Feng that nighttime visit.

He had not expected that after only a few months, Qian Renxue would dare to openly reveal her relationship with Lin Feng before him.

And Lin Feng was holding Ling Yuan JieJie's hand. What did the shy look on Ling Yuan JieJie's face mean? Xue Er, can't you see it?

And you're smiling? Your man is being stolen away, and you're still smiling?

Qian Daoliu felt his vision go dark. His brain cells were not enough for this.

If his reasoning was correct, then Lin Feng was now involved with three people, and Qian Renxue was even supportive of it.

"What the fuck..."

Qian Daoliu nearly blurted out a curse.

The face that had remained placid for so many years shifted through a series of expressions.

So, he had only placed two people at Lin Feng's side, and Lin Feng had gotten both of them, was that it?

Damn it, what did this brat have that he did not? Why had things not gone so smoothly when he had pursued Xi Xi back then?

And that damned Tang Chen!

Qian Daoliu restored his solemn expression and watched the three slowly approach him.

He did not look at Ling Yuan JieJie, who had lowered her head in silence, nor at Qian Renxue, who seemed somewhat uneasy.

Any mood he had once possessed to praise Lin Feng's achievements in Heaven Dou City had long since been thrown to the clouds.

His gaze locked tightly onto the smiling Lin Feng as he gritted his teeth.

"You little bastard, you really know how to play, huh?!"
