Meeting again

Knock, knock, knock~

"Hello, Great Enshrined. I am His Holiness the Pope's newly accepted disciple. On my teacher's orders, I would like to see Sister Qian Renxue."

Inside the Elder Hall, Bai'e, who had politely knocked before entering, bowed respectfully to Qian Daoliu.

"She sent you..."

"Hmm?"

Qian Daoliu broke off midsentence and suddenly narrowed his eyes. Why did this child seem to carry such an extraordinarily familiar angelic aura?

"You have business with Qian Renxue?"

Qian Daoliu asked without betraying anything.

"Yes. My teacher has some private matters she would like to discuss with her."

Bai'e was rather torn himself. He had originally planned to win Qian Renxue over with tenderness first, then reveal his identity once their feelings ran deep. That would at least offer him some protection.

But with Bibi Dong's example serving as a warning, he was actually a little afraid of Qian Renxue discovering his true identity!

At that thought, Bai'e felt rather annoyed with himself. He should never have let his feelings get involved and revealed some of the information back then!

Weren't they supposed to be hopeless fools in love?!

Why were they so sharp when dealing with him?!

"Private..."

"Grandpa, since he's here to see me, leave the rest to me."

Before Qian Daoliu could frown, a gentle voice suddenly came from the entrance to the Elder Hall.

Then Qian Renxue approached gracefully, wearing a white slit dress patterned with gold.

She glanced at Bai'e as though she did not care in the slightest.

Despicable, go on!

Fell for the Thunder God in an instant!

Sensing that glance, Bai'e suddenly went rigid!

It was as though a Ferocious Beast brimming with malice had locked firmly onto him!

Rousing battle music even suddenly started playing in his head!

"The aura on you... why is it so similar to mine?"

"Never mind. Come with me first."

Qian Renxue frowned slightly but did not dwell on it. She nodded to Qian Daoliu, then went straight back the way she had come.

Forget it, forget it. I'd better not admit I'm her child!

That would make the risk of exposure far too great. I'd better pretend to be Bibi Dong's disciple for now.

Bai'e took a deep breath. Perhaps that inexplicable feeling earlier had been a warning of danger. In that case, he had better keep something hidden for now!

Without showing any sign of it, Bai'e increased the concentration of his bloodline related to Bibi Dong.

In truth, the Golden Dragon King Bloodline was the clone's true foundation, while the two bloodlines purchased from the system were merely clothes.

Thus, how many layers Bai'e wore, or whether he wore any at all, was entirely up to him!

Although going without clothes could get him caught, if things truly reached a critical point, he would no longer be able to worry about whether he would get caught!

Bai'e obediently followed Qian Renxue. It was clearly another reunion between old friends, yet he kept feeling that the Qian Renxue before him had suddenly become somewhat unfamiliar.

"Look away."

Seemingly noticing Bai'e's scrutinizing gaze, Qian Renxue spoke coldly without even turning her head.

"Where are we going?"

Bai'e was a little curious.

"To my bedroom."

Qian Renxue spoke indifferently, and the two fell silent again.

A short while later, in an elegantly furnished room.

Qian Renxue sat casually on the edge of the bed, lightly crossing her fair right leg over her left.

"Sit."

Qian Renxue inclined her head.

"Oh."

Bai'e obediently walked toward the bedside.

"On the chair."

Qian Renxue spoke speechlessly. A trace of distraction flashed across her expression. The way he slithered up the pole like a snake the moment it was offered was truly rather familiar...

"Oh."

Bai'e obediently sat down, placing both hands on his legs somewhat stiffly.

"Tell me, what did that woman send you here for?"

Qian Renxue's voice was slightly cold as she began her interrogation.

"Ah... my teacher said... said... to come ask how you were doing, and get the Elder Hall used to seeing my face while I was at it."

Bai'e scratched his head, making things up while trying to stay as close to Bibi Dong's personality as possible.

"Heh, ask how I'm doing? I think she wants to pry into my situation!"

Qian Renxue gave a soft, self-mocking snort.

"Uh..."

"Forget it. This is between her and me. I won't make things difficult for you."

"Tell me, I sensed a familiar aura from you earlier. What was that?"

Qian Renxue's exquisite eyes fixed on Bai'e's face.

"Could it be my Martial Soul?"

After considering it for a moment, Bai'e still brought out the Angel God Sword.

With him minimizing the proportion of Qian Renxue's bloodline as much as possible, Qian Renxue should not be able to detect it... right?

"Such a pure angelic aura..."

With a complicated expression, Qian Renxue took Bai'e's Martial Soul in her hand.

Kekeke, even now, you still can't be certain?

Indecision-that is the root of your endless suffering in this life!

An enchanting female voice sounded in Qian Renxue's heart.

I prepared that for Jin Li. I don't want it used on anyone else.

Qian Renxue remained silent, communicating with Qian Renyou.

Meanwhile, Bai'e watched nervously from opposite her as Qian Renxue quietly examined the Angel God Sword.

You've gone soft, haven't you?

Qian Renyou sneered. How could she not understand what Qian Renxue was thinking?

Yes, yes, you've always been our main self. If I forcibly took over your body, he would definitely notice...

Qian Renxue, have you really forgotten his betrayal of you?

Qian Renyou looked disdainful. If she had not been worried about being detected after taking over the body, how could Qian Renxue have gotten the chance to fetch Bai'e?

"Enough!"

Qian Renxue's gaze turned icy as she rose from the bed.

Bai'e was so startled that he instantly stood at attention!

"I seem to have detected my own aura on your Martial Soul..."

Qian Renxue gave Bai'e a searching look.

"Our Martial Souls are both related to angels. Perhaps you mixed them up?"

Bai'e responded tentatively.

"Come with me. I'll take you to test your Angel Bloodline."

Qian Renxue waved her hand, storing the large bed in her Soul Tool. Beneath the bed, a deep, dark tunnel suddenly appeared!

Without speaking, Qian Renxue simply walked slowly down the steps in her high heels.

Sure enough, we still have to test my bloodline...

Bai'e shrugged and took a couple of quick steps to follow behind Qian Renxue.

As the two entered, the opening through which they had come slowly sealed shut.

"Why is it so dark?"

Bai'e circulated his Soul Power, making the space between them a little brighter.

Although both of them were already strong enough to see in the dark, he, Bai'e, was a caring man, after all!

"Don't you think darkness makes people feel safe?"

Qian Renyou spoke casually, her voice rich and enchanting.

"When it's pitch-black, it does feel pretty reassuring to sleep."

Bai'e spoke casually. After turning his attention to their surroundings, he remained completely unaware that the movements and demeanor of Qian Renxue ahead of him had already changed.

"Do you like it?"

Qian Renyou asked softly.

The pitch-black passage held only the tiny light in Bai'e's hand. In the silent space, only the tapping of Qian Renyou's high heels could be heard.

"Hmm?"

Bai'e raised an eyebrow, somewhat baffled.

"Hehe~"

Qian Renyou smiled without speaking and pressed her hand against the final stone door.
