That hateful woman!
Angel Qian Renxue's expression turned icy. She immediately flew forward to snatch him away. "Let go of him!"
"I won't!" Rakshasa Bibi Dong refused to back down.
Fang Yuan felt his Spiritual Consciousness Body being tugged back and forth between them. There was plenty of bodily contact along the way, and all he felt was softness and elasticity.
But this did not feel good at all. After all, neither of them was weak.
"Sister Xue, Aunt Dong."
"Be gentler. It hurts a little."
Hearing this, Rakshasa Bibi Dong and Angel Qian Renxue stopped what they were doing and hurriedly looked at Fang Yuan with concern.
"Little Yuan, are you all right?"
As she spoke, Rakshasa Bibi Dong glared at her daughter. "This is all your fault! Why did you have to snatch him?"
"Because you're shameless!" Angel Qian Renxue snapped back at her mother before enveloping Fang Yuan in divine power. "It's all right, Little Yuan. I'll heal you."
She thought she had used too much force and accidentally injured Fang Yuan's consciousness body. After all, she and her mother were Divine Souls, while Fang Yuan was still only a Spiritual Body.
Although Angel Divine Power was not easy to accumulate, Angel Qian Renxue felt it was nothing compared to Fang Yuan's safety.
As the Angel Divine Power nourished him, Fang Yuan felt as though he were soaking in a hot spring, his spiritual power rapidly growing stronger.
Since she needed to save up Angel Divine Power to activate a divine examination for Fang Yuan in the future, Angel Qian Renxue had always conserved it wherever possible. She could not afford the extravagance of using Angel Divine Power directly to improve Fang Yuan's spirit and physique.
After all, both could be improved through cultivation.
But things were different now. First, Fang Yuan's safety mattered more, and second, he had already activated the Destiny Divine Examination.
It seemed she could no longer pass her Godhood on to Fang Yuan, so she might as well use Angel Divine Power to improve his physique and spirit.
With that thought, Angel Qian Renxue picked up Fang Yuan's consciousness body and spoke gently.
"Little Yuan, next I'll use Angel Divine Power to help improve your spiritual and physical strength, then condense a Life-Bound Soul Ring for you."
As her words fell, golden streams of light appeared around her, and the wings behind her began folding inward, wrapping around her and Fang Yuan.
Seeing her daughter holding Little Yuan in her arms with a doting expression, Rakshasa Bibi Dong felt an inexplicable pang of jealousy.
Hmph, I could do that too if I took her place!
Wait, what's wrong with me?!
As she thought this, she suddenly came to her senses. Realizing something seemed off, her heart gave a jolt.
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Little Yuan's Spiritual Consciousness Body was injured. I'm just too worried about him, so I want to do it myself. Yes, that's all!
Rakshasa Bibi Dong made excuses inwardly, casting aside that absurd thought as she monitored Fang Yuan's condition with her senses.
Outside, in the real world, a phantom of Angel Qian Renxue appeared behind Fang Yuan. Golden streams of light rained down, and then the angel wrapped around his entire body, enclosing him within her wings.
Sensing this, Rakshasa Bibi Dong snorted inwardly. She's only improving Little Yuan's physical and spiritual strength. I can do that later too!
But what's a Life-Bound Soul Ring?
A God-bestowed Soul Ring?
Damn that inherently evil Rakshasa God!
I've never absorbed anything like that, so I have no idea how it works. It's all that stingy Rakshasa God's fault!
Not far away, Little Bibi Dong watched the changes taking place around Fang Yuan, her lips parting slightly.
"Fang..."
She wanted to ask Fang Yuan what was happening, but worried she might disturb him, she hurriedly covered her mouth.
Watching the Angel Phantom wrap Fang Yuan in its wings like a cocoon, Little Bibi Dong's eyes filled with worry.
Fang Yuan, please don't let anything happen to you!
Bibi Dong stood quietly beside him. As she prayed inwardly, something else occurred to her. She tiptoed to the door and carefully secured the bolt.
Fang Yuan can't be disturbed right now, so I have to stand guard for him. I can't let anyone barge in.
With that thought, Bibi Dong hesitated over whether to go outside. It would be better to stand guard out there, but she worried that making any noise would disturb Fang Yuan.
Elsewhere.
Inside the Pope's Hall, Qian Daoliu and the others had just finished their discussion and settled the arrangements to follow.
"All right, Xunji. Although you're injured right now, you mustn't neglect your duties as pope. Do you understand what I mean?"
Qian Xunji: "???"
Wait, who was the one who injured me?
How do you have the nerve to say that, you old geezer?!
Haven't you always followed chivalry? Why are you being so shameless now?!
Hypocrite!
Qian Xunji cursed the old geezer inwardly, but faced with his father's gaze, he did not dare say any of it to his face.
"I understand, Father!"
Qian Xunji gritted his teeth on the word "Father." This old geezer only knew how to bully others with his strength.
Just you wait, old geezer! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west-don't bully a youth for being poor!
Qian Xunji refused to believe it. They had the same Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, so how could he fail to surpass his father?
Besides, he was younger!
Qian Daoliu noticed the defiance in his unfilial son's eyes and merely gave him a glance.
So what if he refused to accept it? Qian Xunji was his son regardless, and he would have to swallow his defiance.
As for chivalry, there was no need to follow that between father and son.
Qian Daoliu was just about to dismiss the meeting when he suddenly sensed Angel Divine Power appearing, and his expression shifted slightly.
"Xiao Xue's Angel Divine Power has appeared again!"
"This is bad. Could something have gone wrong?"
As his words fell, Qian Daoliu vanished with a whoosh, smashing a hole straight through the Pope's Hall doors.
Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and the other Consecrated also thought something might have gone wrong and immediately flew after Qian Daoliu.
Crash!
Qian Xunji stared at the battered doors, his face darkening as vexation filled him.
This was Spirit Hall's headquarters. Who would dare come here to cause trouble? The old geezer and the others had simply let concern throw them into disarray.
"Sigh, Yue..."
Qian Xunji sighed helplessly and instinctively started calling for Yue Guan to have someone repair the doors. Only after speaking did he remember that Yue Guan had taken Fang Yuan to choose a residence.
Just then, Gui Mei appeared inside the Pope's Hall and bowed respectfully to Qian Xunji.
"Your Holiness, please give me your instructions."
How could Gui Mei truly abandon Yue Guan? In truth, he had been outside the Pope's Hall all along and had only felt relieved after seeing Yue Guan come out earlier.
Now that he heard Qian Xunji had instructions, Gui Mei immediately showed himself.
Qian Xunji briefly made the arrangements and also ordered that men be sent to the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to gather intelligence.
Gui Mei committed Qian Xunji's instructions to memory. "Understood."
As he spoke, Gui Mei slowly backed away, preparing to leave the Pope's Hall and attend to his duties, when he heard Qian Xunji issue another instruction.
"One more thing."
"Bring a Healing Soul Master here."
Gui Mei looked up at Qian Xunji's bruised and swollen face. Not daring to look any longer, he quickly lowered his head.
"Yes. I'll go at once."
Seeing Qian Xunji wave his hand, Gui Mei flashed away and swiftly left the Pope's Hall, thinking that the Great Enshrined really had struck hard.
Meanwhile, Qian Daoliu had already arrived outside Fang Yuan's residence with Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and the others.
