"You unfilial son!"
Seeing that his son still dared to talk back, Qian Daoliu raised a hand and pointed at Fang Yuan beside him.
"This child's Martial Soul is the Six-Winged Angel. He is a direct descendant of our Qian Family!"
"I have no other son besides you, and I have spent my life standing guard before the Angel God Statue and serving her, rarely leaving the Worship Hall!"
"If you did not want anyone to know, you should never have done it! This child is the bloodline you left outside the family. Even now, you still refuse to admit it?"
Qian Xunji: "???"
What are you talking about, you old geezer?
I haven't even slept with a woman. I'm still a virgin! How could I possibly have a son?
"Old geezer, stop slandering me!"
Noticing that Uncle Golden Crocodile, Uncle Azure Luan, and the others were all looking at him strangely, with his subordinate and disciple watching too, Qian Xunji grew flustered.
"Ever since I became Pope, I've spent every day either handling official business or reviewing documents!"
"Yue Guan can vouch for me! I, Qian Xunji, have always kept myself clean. I haven't even met a woman I like yet. How could I possibly have a son?"
"Yue Guan, isn't that right?"
Standing a short distance away, Yue Guan was already drenched in sweat when he heard this, and he began to stammer.
"Well... His Holiness the Pope... indeed hasn't had any contact with women, but there are times when I'm not by His Holiness's side, so I wouldn't know about those..."
In this situation, Yue Guan did not dare vouch for Qian Xunji. He could still tell the big joker from the little one.
Qian Xunji looked at Yue Guan with displeasure written all over his face.
"Yue Guan, what do you mean by that? Are you suggesting I could have sneaked off for a secret tryst?"
Yue Guan lowered his head, not daring to speak, and thought how difficult it was to be this man's subordinate.
After today's incident, His Holiness the Pope would definitely make him wear shoes too tight for his feet.
Seeing that Qian Xunji was still making excuses, Qian Daoliu roared, "You unfilial son! Shut your mouth!"
"The facts are right before your eyes! You still dare deny it?"
Qian Xunji felt utterly wronged. I have to get this black pot off my back. Otherwise, what kind of person will I become?
"Old geezer, I didn't do it, and that's that!"
"I even suspect that little Fang Yuan might be the bloodline you left behind on some trip outside!"
Whoosh!
Qian Daoliu vanished and instantly appeared before Qian Xunji, raising his hand to deliver a slap!
Smack!
The crisp sound rang out again!
The blow sent Qian Xunji spinning and flying into the air, stars dancing before his eyes and his head buzzing.
This time, Qian Daoliu did not stop. His fists rained down on Qian Xunji. "I'll beat you to death, you unfilial son!"
The Angel God Ancestor was watching right there, yet this unfilial son actually dared to slander him. Qian Daoliu was so furious that his hair seemed ready to thrust his crown off his head.
He had lived his entire life by the spirit of chivalry, without a single stain on his name. Now that his son had said this, what would the Angel God Ancestor think of him?
Seeing this, the angel Qian Renxue opened her mouth to say something, only to receive another divine sense transmission from her mother.
Sorry, Father.
The angel Qian Renxue silently murmured an apology. Father is getting beaten either way. Since that's the case, I'll explain in a little while.
Qian Xunji screamed incessantly under the beating. He was only rank ninety-one now, so he could not resist Qian Daoliu at all.
"Argh!"
"Old geezer, you're being unreasonable! Argh!"
"Argh! I told you I didn't do it!"
"Beat me to death if you've got the guts! Argh!"
"You unfilial son!" Qian Daoliu was so enraged that he unleashed his oppressive aura, his face dark beyond measure.
Golden Crocodile and Azure Luan had been watching all along. Seeing that Qian Daoliu was about to truly lose his temper, they hurried forward.
"Big Brother, let it go, let it go."
"Big Brother, don't stoop to this brat's level."
"Maybe the brat really doesn't know. Perhaps someone schemed against him?"
"Yes, yes. Big Brother, calm down."
Golden Crocodile and Azure Luan each offered words of persuasion as they each took hold of one of Qian Daoliu's arms.
Qian Daoliu did not actually intend to beat his son to death. It was just that the Angel God Ancestor was watching, so he had to make a gesture.
Now that Golden Crocodile and Azure Luan were holding him back, Qian Daoliu went along with them and stared coldly at Qian Xunji.
"You unfilial son, think carefully. Did anything happen six years ago?"
Mighty Lion Douluo came over to Qian Xunji and earnestly advised him, "Little Ji, don't be so quick to deny it. Think carefully before you speak."
"If nothing else works, ask little Fang Yuan."
Lion thought that he had never noticed it before, but this brat Qian Xunji truly had an iron skull. Even after being beaten this badly, he stubbornly refused to admit it.
Qian Xunji's face was bruised and swollen, and he felt utterly wronged. But he knew that if he kept talking back, the old geezer would definitely beat him again.
Looking at Fang Yuan a short distance away, Qian Xunji carefully searched his memories and confirmed that he had not sought out a woman six years ago.
"Little Yuan, who are your parents?"
Qian Daoliu had swollen Qian Xunji's mouth with his blows too, leaving his question muffled and indistinct.
Before Fang Yuan could answer, the angel Qian Renxue spoke up. "Let me explain."
"Actually, I'm the Angel God from the future. I meant nothing else by how I addressed you earlier. That really is our relationship."
Confusion entered Qian Daoliu's eyes at these words. Her tone sounded serious.
"The Angel God from the future?"
Qian Daoliu was half convinced and half doubtful. "Then what is going on with this child? Why did he awaken the Six-Winged Angel?"
Since she had already decided to lay her cards on the table, the angel Qian Renxue did not hide this either.
"I died at the hands of the Sea God's successor. For some unknown reason, my divine soul came to reside within Fang Yuan. I suppose this counts as returning to the past."
"To revive someday, I decided to become Fang Yuan's Martial Soul. That way, once he becomes a god and ascends to the Divine Realm, I can reconstruct my divine body."
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu believed most of it.
No wonder this Angel God had felt different from the Angel God he knew. So that was why.
Perhaps only a deity could have a divine soul that endured after death and even returned to the past.
Thinking of how the Angel God had actually been killed, Qian Daoliu could not help asking, "Who is the Sea God?"
The angel Qian Renxue knew that her grandfather and the others did not yet know of Sea God Island's existence.
"The Sea God is the deity of the ocean. He left his inheritance on Sea God Island. There is also a Peerless Douluo there whose position is the same as yours, Grandfather."
Qian Daoliu was inwardly surprised. In his heart, he already believed the angel Qian Renxue. After all, Angel Divine Power could not be faked.
"To think there is a divine inheritance out on the ocean too."
After this sigh, he recalled what the angel Qian Renxue had just said and continued asking, "Then you really are my granddaughter?"
The angel Qian Renxue nodded, then explained further, "But I come from the future, so the present me hasn't been born yet."
Qian Daoliu rejoiced inwardly at this. Did that not mean his granddaughter could begin the Angel Nine Trials?
At this thought, he hurriedly asked, "Then what is your name, and who is your mother?"
Qian Daoliu figured that once he found her, he would have his granddaughter come into the world ahead of time.
"My name is Qian Renxue." After giving her name, the angel Qian Renxue looked at the young Bibi Dong.
"My mother... is Bibi Dong. My birth was a mistake, because my father, Qian Xunji, forced himself on my mother in a secret chamber..."
Young Bibi Dong: "?!"
Qian Xunji: "???"
Qian Daoliu: "???"
