Qian Lingsu

"Wait!"

"I've been betrothed?"

Xue Qianren, who was being forced to learn how to handle official business, suddenly widened his eyes!

He had seen the latest intelligence report on the desk!

"Didn't I tell you about this before?"

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at him. So this brat hadn't listened to a single word!

"How could they do this!"

Xue Qianren frowned. The emotional tug-of-war with Xue Ye and Qian Renxue was already giving him enough of a headache. How had Dugu Yan gotten involved too?

"Heh, that little snake girl has a sexy figure and a gorgeous face. She's already a stunning beauty at such a young age, and you think being matched with her is beneath you?"

Qian Renxue sneered and fiercely glared at the little blond.

"I'm a killer with no feelings."

Xue Qianren let out a long sigh.

"Hmph, that little snake girl's heart seems entirely set on you. It wouldn't be bad if you could lure her and Dugu Bo back to Spirit Hall together..."

Qian Renxue huffed, then began devising a plan for Xue Qianren.

"Of course, if you're the one who gets lured away, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

Qian Renxue viciously made a snipping gesture with her fingers.

"I'm such a scumbag!"

Xue Qianren felt helpless. Things had already come to this, and anything he said would be too late. Xue Ye had even issued an imperial decree. There was no taking it back!

Fortunately, he hadn't spent much time with Dugu Yan. What she felt now was probably just a little girl's admiration. Once he dropped dead in a few days, Dugu Yan should be fine... right?

Xue Qianren fell silent.

"At least you know yourself!"

"One trip outside, and you lured away Poison Douluo's granddaughter. If we let you go out a few more times, wouldn't the whole world end up bearing the surname Jin?"

Qian Renxue folded her arms across her chest. After Xue Qianren's earlier outrageous antics, she wanted to curse him every time she opened her mouth.

"I never intended to contend for the realm..."

Xue Qianren clasped his hands behind his back, a sorrowful look appearing on his face.

Qian Renxue's face instantly darkened, and the two began tussling again!

Meanwhile, Golden Crocodile Douluo had received the news and was channeling his Soul Power as he hurried toward Heaven Dou City alone!

A storm was brewing!

"Uncle Asura, are you secretly watching the lower realm again?"

In the Asura God Temple in the Divine Realm, Phantylia swung the Destruction Scepter and struck Asura God's thigh.

"What are you saying! What are you saying!"

"What do you mean, secretly watching!"

"Your uncle is maintaining stability in the lower realm!"

Asura God looked away, regarding Phantylia with something of a headache.

Actually, even if Destruction discovered him making little moves in the lower realm, it wouldn't matter. He and Destruction had been friends for so many years. Destruction might mock him, but he would never turn it into a serious offense!

But he just couldn't swallow his pride!

"Is this world the Douluo Continent?"

"I heard the Dragon God came from this world."

Phantylia ignored Asura God's excuses and continued questioning him instead.

"Yes, yes, yes. Your uncle really wants to find a successor!"

"This miraculous continent might just have the successor I'm looking for."

Asura God let out a long sigh. Who could have imagined that, among the Five Great God Kings, the one who should have been least likely to find a successor would actually be the first to find one!

Where was the justice in that!

"Ohh~"

Phantylia nodded.

"I heard Uncle Sea God and Auntie Angel God also ascended from this world. Did you know that, Uncle Asura God?"

Phantylia blinked her large, sincere eyes.

"Mm..."

"Unless something unexpected happens, that fellow Poseidon has already found a successor."

Asura God nodded thoughtfully, his gaze settling on Sea God Island on the Douluo Continent, where the divine trials had already begun.

That was a bit of a shame. He actually coveted the Sea God Godhood quite a bit, and had previously thought of getting his successor dual godhood.

But since things were already settled, he would let it go!

"Hasn't Auntie Angel God found one?"

Phantylia reached out and poked the golden dot of light representing the location of the Angel God's inheritance.

"Her... I can't really say..."

Asura God frowned. Ever since ascending, the Angel God had hardly ever come out to spend time with them. The inheritance she had left behind was merely a preset procedure, too. He really wasn't too clear on what the Angel God herself thought.

"If you're curious, you can go ask her."

"Honestly, this Angel God is quite beautiful. She's every bit as lovely as your mother. Would you like to visit the Angel Temple?"

Asura God's eyes lit up, and he suddenly began egging Phantylia on.

The little thing was really getting in his way here. Coaxing her into leaving was the way to go!

"All right, I'll go take a look!"

Phantylia nodded. The critical moment hadn't arrived yet, so she had no need to keep pestering Asura God. Her main purpose in visiting him now was to become a familiar face.

"Haha! I'll send you over!"

Asura God laughed heartily. Blood-red divine power swept Phantylia up and became a streak of crimson light, flying toward the magnificent golden temple in the distance!

"I'm so bored~"

Inside the Angel Temple, a woman lying on a bed in pure white pajamas with a little brown bear printed on the chest let out a lingering sigh.

The Divine Realm was far too peaceful. There was nowhere to preach, and nowhere to pass judgment. As the mighty Angel God, she had spent all these years without even knowing what else she could do!

"Sigh~"

Qian Lingsu thought for a moment, slipped her delicate fingers into her pajama pants, and slowly closed her eyes.

"Who's out there!"

Qian Lingsu instantly withdrew her fingers, and her pajamas transformed into a golden one-piece battle dress in the blink of an eye!

In just an instant, she appeared at the entrance to the Angel Temple!

"It's me! Phantylia!"

"I'm the child of the Life God King and the Destruction God King!"

"I've come to play with Auntie Angel!"

Standing in her golden battle boots, Qian Lingsu looked strangely at the child knocking on her temple's great doors.

"Stop knocking. Those doors haven't been used in ages. They won't open anymore."

Yawning, Qian Lingsu opened the barrier, picked Phantylia up, and flew inside through a window.

"To think those two God Kings have a child now..."

Qian Lingsu dropped Phantylia into a little chair beside the table, then took out a Hami melon and set it on the table.

"If you want some, cut it yourself."

As Qian Lingsu spoke, a sharp blade appeared on the table as well.

"Auntie Angel, Uncle Asura said you haven't gone out in ages. Why is that?"

Without standing on ceremony, Phantylia cut open the Hami melon and asked as she ate.

"What's so good about going out? Constrained by the Divine Realm, my godhood has already reached its limit."

"Constrained by the rules, my insights have also stopped progressing. What else can I do besides eat my way through life and wait to die~"

"Oh, no, that's not right. I can't even die."

Qian Lingsu sat opposite Phantylia, an air of dejection radiating from her.

Phantylia paused, giving the listless Qian Lingsu before her a strange look.

Isn't she just me, putting herself under house arrest of her own accord!

"Auntie Angel, Uncle Asura said you're also a deity from the Douluo Continent. The Sea God has already found a successor. What about you?"

Phantylia pushed a piece of Hami melon toward Qian Lingsu.

"I don't know. Maybe I have?"

Qian Lingsu answered indifferently. She took the Hami melon and was just about to bite into it...

But as though remembering something, she discreetly rinsed her fingers with divine power.
