To Stay Alive, You'd Even Call Me Daddy!

"What is this place?"

Bai'e used his Soul Power to light a torch. Beyond the stone door was a fairly spacious room.

The room contained a stone bed and a stone table, and something resembling a cross hung on the wall.

"Your home. Do you like it?"

Qian Renyou spoke again. Before the stunned Bai'e could react, a pitch-black greatsword thrust straight toward his chest!

"Qian Renxue!"

Bai'e was instantly scared out of his wits and hurriedly raised the Angel God Sword before his chest!

Clang!

The two swords clashed, and Bai'e immediately turned into a streak of golden light as he flew backward!

"Qian Renxue!"

"I'm Bibi Dong's disciple!"

Having slammed into the wall, Bai'e clutched his back in pain. He had to admit, this wall was pretty sturdy!

"She's worthy of that?!"

At those words, Qian Renyou's eyes grew even darker, and her white dress instantly turned black and purple!

An uncanny aura immediately surged toward him!

Something's wrong...

"You're not Qian Renxue!"

Bai'e's expression instantly grew grave, and he brought out his other Martial Soul, the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, at the same time!

"Hahaha!"

"Jin Li, I recognized you before we even met..."

"But after spending so much time with me, you never once noticed anything unusual about me!"

Qian Renyou laughed coldly, tears spilling involuntarily from the corners of her eyes.

They did not come from her, but from Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue had thought Jin Li would become the first friend of her life!

"Daddy, I can explain!"

Bai'e lowered both Martial Souls, looking somewhat guilty.

"To stay alive, you'd even call me Daddy?"

"Have you forgotten what I once said? If you deceived me, I would lock you in a secret chamber forever."

Qian Renyou watched Bai'e's guilty gaze mockingly and spoke in a sweet voice.

"You also said you'd slice me into pieces of meat..."

Bai'e lowered his head. Just thinking about it hurt.

"I won't kill him!"

Qian Renyou frowned. Qian Renxue had actually tried to wrest control from her just now!

Is it a split personality...?

Bai'e raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief. Judging by the person before him, at least Qian Renxue was still there.

"Are you worried about me?"

The corners of Qian Renyou's mouth lifted slightly. Seeing Bai'e's reaction, she had already guessed that his earlier pitiful display had been a test to see whether Qian Renxue was still there.

"I'm sorry. I already told you before, I had difficulties that left me no choice."

Bai'e explained softly...

"But you could have told me beforehand."

Qian Renyou snorted, interrupting Bai'e's explanation.

"Qian Renxue, back then, I..."

Bai'e trailed off without saying it outright. When he saw Qian Renyou's expression turn cold, he knew he had said the wrong thing!

"Because you never once considered me a friend..."

Qian Renyou's gaze turned cold, and the pitch-black greatsword thrust toward Bai'e's chest once more!

"No, no!"

Bai'e crossed his two Martial Souls, guarding himself!

He wanted to explain, but did not know where to begin!

Asking a Golden Dragon King with a rusty brain to do something like this was simply asking too much of a dragon!

Clang!

Golden blood spilled from the corner of Bai'e's mouth, and with a cry, he slammed into the wall again!

The next instant, a fair, delicate hand plunged straight into his chest!

"You..."

Qian Renyou!!!

Two voices rang out beside Qian Renyou's ears at the same time!

"Don't be afraid. Nothing will happen..."

With one hand inside Bai'e's chest, Qian Renyou wrapped her other arm around him and drew him into her embrace. Leaning close to his ear, she spoke softly.

"Ah!"

Bai'e's eyes widened. He could feel a strange devouring force coming from Qian Renyou's hand. It was consuming his Soul Power and bloodline!

"Mmm~"

Qian Renyou raised her head in surprise, a flush spreading over her cheeks. She saw a drop of golden blood, but no matter how hard she tried, that drop remained unmoved.

"Don't be afraid. To keep you from running away, I'll devour what gives you the confidence to do so. But you needn't worry about being unable to stay with me forever. I'll share my life with you."

Her gaze hazy, Qian Renyou gently caught Bai'e's lips between her own.

A golden-purple radiance instantly enveloped them both!

"I'm screwed."

Ye Ling sat up in bed with a bitter expression. The clone he had invested the most in had now been drained of Soul Power, bound to a cross and tied to a bed, made into a hot weapon...

All right, that had not happened yet, but it probably was not far off!

I can only look for a chance to see if Bibi Dong can rescue him. We're partners, after all...

Ye Ling turned to look at the girl lying beside him on the bed, her face ashen, looking as though she had nothing left to live for.

"Don't talk. Let me have some peace..."

Ye Lingling's little face was flushed, her pink lips slightly parted as she stared blankly at the ceiling.

It seemed she had died of embarrassment...

"What's wrong, Mommy? Do you want another shot?"

"Before, you always had me shoot you once whenever you went to sleep."

Ye Ling spoke innocently. In truth, he only wanted to give Ye Lingling an excuse.

"You mean my future self actually has you treat her every day?"

Ye Lingling's eyes slowly focused, regaining their light.

"Yes. Mommy Lingling and Mommy Yanyan both do that."

"Good! I'll take you to Yanyan. Let her experience it too!"

Ye Lingling rolled over and got up, as though she had come back to life!

"Right, what's your name?"

Ye Lingling suddenly asked. She had just remembered that she did not seem to have asked Ye Ling's name yet.

"My name is Ye Ling."

Ye Ling answered honestly.

"You have my surname?"

Ye Lingling was a little curious.

"Mm-hmm. Both mommies said my name actually includes both of you."

"Ye from Mommy Lingling, and Mommy Yanyan is a zero."

Ye Ling blinked innocently, making Ye Lingling's cheeks turn crimson. Clearly, she understood exactly what he meant.

"So young, and already learning bad things!"

Ye Lingling rolled her eyes at Ye Ling and bashfully caught his ear.

Although the person before her was most likely her and Yanyan's child, being teased like this by someone of the opposite sex still made her a little shy.

"Mommy, let's go find Mommy Yanyan. Her family has lots of amazing treasures. I can help you both improve!"

Smiling, Ye Ling hugged Ye Lingling's arm.

"Sister Lingsu, have you thought of it yet?"

In the Angel Temple, a stunning golden-haired woman lay lazily on her stomach on a bed, her hair loose. Beside her was a purple-haired man, fawning over her as he massaged her shoulders.

"Mm-hmm~"

"The Record of Rare Flowers and Strange Plants. What do you want this for?"

Qian Lingsu let out a pleasant hum and casually took out a thick book.

"Ah, my physical body and divine soul can still more or less keep pace, but my comprehension is a little lacking."

"I think I'll make better progress if I gain more insight into other forms of life."

Phantylia's slender fingers tapped Qian Lingsu's smooth, flawless back, fully exposed by her backless dress.

"Your time is almost here..."

Qian Lingsu opened her eyes, a hint of worry appearing in them.

Phantylia was drawing ever closer to the level 70 threshold. There was no telling whether she could withstand this tribulation...

"I hope I can succeed..."

Phantylia sighed softly. If so, she would have her first clone with god-level combat power.
