Qian Daoliu: Could the Qian Clan Have Another Descendant?

Smack!

Ice Empress slapped Xue Tianyu on the head.

"You little brat, we haven't seen each other in so long, and you've already learned to make fun of me?"

Xue Tianyu grinned. "It's only been four or five months."

Ice Empress froze. "Four or five months? I thought four or five years had passed."

"No, no." Xue Tianyu shook his head with a smile.

"Hehe, come on, come on! Summer vacation's here, let's head back to the Great Ice Plain to escape the heat!"

Ice Empress had lived in the Great Ice Plain all year round and absolutely hated summers in the human world.

If she had not come to welcome Xue Tianyu home for vacation, she would not have wanted to stay here for even a second.

Xue Tianyu also wanted to go back and see Snow Aunt.

Great Ice Plain.

Snow Empress stood before the Ice Snow Palace, eagerly awaiting their arrival.

Before long, Xue Tianyu and Ice Empress came into view.

"Snow Aunt!"

Xue Tianyu rushed straight into Snow Empress's arms.

Snow Empress showed no mercy and immediately pressed his head down.

"Mmph... No, Snow Aunt... I... I can't breathe like this..."

Xue Tianyu was dumbfounded.

That faceful upon meeting made him relive that sweet, fragrant, suffocating experience.

It really had to be Snow Aunt...

Xue Tianyu struggled for quite a while before pulling his head free from Snow Empress's assault.

Yet his body was still held in Snow Empress's embrace.

Snow Empress looked at Xue Tianyu with a faint smile, then lowered her head and kissed his forehead.

Xue Tianyu looked at Snow Empress and said seriously, "Snow Aunt, I've realized that among everyone I've seen, no one is prettier than you and Ice Aunt."

Snow Empress smiled and flicked Xue Tianyu on the head.

"These past few years, it seems your abilities haven't grown much, but your mouth has gotten increasingly sweet."

Though she said that, Snow Empress was still very happy inside.

"That's not true, I mean it!" Xue Tianyu said with a pout.

Seeing Xue Tianyu like that, Snow Empress's heart softened.

After all these years, Xue Tianyu truly felt like her own son.

Her son had grown up now.

"Alright, alright, have you hugged enough? My turn!"

Ice Empress yanked Xue Tianyu out of Snow Empress's arms and hugged him herself.

"Mhm, this is still the best feeling." Ice Empress smiled. "I really missed it."

Xue Tianyu was quite helpless.

Every time he came home for vacation, he went through this scene.

But he knew this was how Ice Empress and Snow Empress expressed how much they missed him.

So he never refused.

In his eyes, after Bibi Dong had abandoned him, it was Ice Empress and Snow Empress who had given him a second life.

If he had any family, then Ice Empress and Snow Empress were his only family.

"By the way, Tianyu is already twelve. Shouldn't we start considering his future?" Seeing that Ice Empress had been hugging Xue Tianyu for quite some time, Snow Empress chose to change the subject.

"His future?"

Ice Empress released Xue Tianyu, then pointed at herself with a smile. "That's simple. He can inherit our position as rulers of the Great Ice Plain."

"That's true."

Snow Empress thought about it. That was how they had come this far, so it was only natural for the Xue Tianyu they had raised to become the ruler of the Great Ice Plain.

However, Xue Tianyu shook his head.

He took Snow Empress's and Ice Empress's hands and placed them together. "Snow Aunt, Ice Aunt, my goal is very simple."

"I want to help you break through your bottleneck and attain immortality!"

Ice Empress and Snow Empress froze.

They had always been thinking about Xue Tianyu's future, yet he had been thinking of ways to help them.

"He really... has grown up..."

"You little brat, you really know how to sweet-talk girls."

Tears filled Snow Empress's and Ice Empress's eyes.

Xue Tianyu's words had warmed both their hearts.

Without another word, the two of them hugged Xue Tianyu together.

The three of them stood before the Ice Snow Palace, locked in an embrace.

Ice Empress and Snow Empress were deeply moved. Xue Tianyu did not dare move.

Because he was being smothered in their chests until he could not breathe again!

Spirit Hall.

Qian Renxue had returned.

As she passed through the main hall, she ran into Bibi Dong.

"You still dared to come back? You little bastard, you didn't even complete the task I gave you, yet you have the nerve to return?"

Qian Renxue froze for a moment, then clenched her teeth and tried to argue back. "I-I've been working hard all this time."

"Working hard? Hahaha, what a joke!" Bibi Dong's gaze was cold, her words venomous. "If you had worked hard, you wouldn't be standing here!"

"Trash will always be trash."

"Mom... I..." Frightened by Bibi Dong's gaze, Qian Renxue could only meekly lower herself and defend herself in a soft voice.

Yet Bibi Dong did not listen to her at all.

"Don't call me Mom! I'm not your mother!" Bibi Dong's shrill voice was like she had heard some forbidden word!

Qian Renxue was in immense pain.

But aside from you, I don't have a mother anymore.

"I don't have a daughter like you. You're nothing but a bastard! You don't deserve to call me Mom!"

They were clearly in Spirit City, but Bibi Dong's gaze made Qian Renxue feel as though she were in the frozen Great Ice Plain, a thousand miles of ice stretching in every direction.

And Bibi Dong's words were like countless sharp blades piercing her heart.

She could no longer hold it in. Large tears crowded out of her eyes.

Qian Renxue did not want to cry in front of Bibi Dong, so she covered her face with both hands and ran away from her.

Only after hiding alone in her room did she dare to cry aloud.

Why...

I've already worked so hard. All I wanted was Bibi Dong's love.

No matter how much grievance I suffered, I endured it all. I only hoped Bibi Dong would look at me properly, even once!

I'm clearly your daughter. Why do you treat me like this...

What did I do wrong?!

Could it be...

I shouldn't have been born? I shouldn't have survived?

Qian Renxue cried harder and harder, soaking a large patch of her pillow with tears.

She did not understand. If Bibi Dong did not like her, why had she given birth to her at all?

At that moment, Qian Renxue thought of the only person who had loved her all these years.

Her grandfather, Qian Daoliu...

It seemed that Qian Daoliu was her only family now.

Worship Hall, Spirit City.

Qian Daoliu frowned, his fingers constantly moving as he calculated.

For all these years, he had been seeking an answer.

Yet no matter how he sought the truth, the Angel God statue only gave him a negative answer.

"Strange..."

Qian Daoliu slowly opened his eyes after ending this calculation.

"The Angel God's inheritor isn't Xue'er."

Although the Angel God statue had shown no reaction since that anomaly twelve years ago, he could also sense that his connection to the Angel God was growing weaker.

That meant the Angel God already had an inheritor.

But...

After investigating for so many years, he had already confirmed that the Angel bloodline existed only within the Qian Clan!

Qian Daoliu had a terrible headache.

The Angel Divine Power absolutely could not fall into someone else's hands.

Yet he truly could not understand what was happening now.

By all reason, Little Xue should have been the Angel God's inheritor.

Unless...

Before her, someone from the Qian Clan had awakened their martial soul!

And had gained the Angel God's recognition, becoming the inheritor!

This guess made Qian Daoliu feel suddenly enlightened.

After all these years, could the Qian Clan truly have another descendant?
