"..."
"You're too greedy," Xuan Ming said.
"To preserve something, you must give up something else; that's what you taught me."
"But now, you want everything."
"If you're too greedy, you'll easily end up empty-handed."
Qian Renxue's eyes reddened again, tears welling up but stubbornly refusing to fall. "I know, but I can't give up..."
"I can't do it."
Qian Renxue leaned down and nestled against Xuan Ming's chest.
Xuan Ming could clearly feel the wetness and heat on her cheeks. He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to push her away, but his arms were held tightly by Qian Renxue.
Hard CC again!
"Go ahead and bite her." The Ice Dragon King's sly voice echoed in Xuan Ming's mind.
"Such large dragons can't just be decorations, can they?"
Xuan Ming was utterly speechless and didn't want to pay any attention to the Ice Dragon King. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his tone, and said to Qian Renxue, who was nestled against his chest:
Can you get up?
Qian Renxue seemed not to hear him, remaining pressed tightly against him, her voice tinged with a hint of sorrow. "I won't get up."
"You're too heavy, you're crushing me."
"..." Qian Renxue.
"I'll just crush you to death!"
Outside the valley, Qian Renxue was nowhere to be seen, and Qian Daoliu's patience was gradually wearing thin.
If there really is only Xuan Ming inside, putting Qian Renxue in would be tantamount to handing that kid's life over to Qian Renxue.
Bibi Dong wouldn't take that risk, so there must be other people involved.
It's either Tang Hao, Dugu Bo, or both.
As an offering to the Angel God, his Demigod body can store a portion of Angel Divine Power. Although not much and unable to regenerate on its own, it is sufficient for emergency use in critical moments.
Given Bibi Dong's previous kidnapping of Qian Renxue, as a precaution, before entering Sunset Forest, he had sealed the Angel Divine Power stored within his body into the Angel God Armor Head Soul Bone that Qian Renxue had absorbed. If she encounters a life-or-death situation within seven days, that power will protect Qian Renxue. Not to mention Tang Hao and Dugu Bo, even Bibi Dong will not be able to harm her in a short period of time.
Hu Liena and Dugu Yan were merely decoys to lower Bibi Dong's guard; the Divine Power sealed within the Angel God Armor Soul Bone was his true insurance.
But so much time has passed, and there's still no sign of it.
Has something really happened?
Thinking of this, Qian Daoliu's last bit of patience completely disappeared.
But seeing Bibi Dong blocking his way, he couldn't force his way through.
After thinking for a moment, Qian Daoliu looked at She Long and said something through telepathy.
She Long gritted his teeth, nodded, took a deep breath, and suddenly shot towards the other side of the poison array.
" She Long!" Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed, her attention shifting from Qian Daoliu, and she instinctively went to block him.
Taking advantage of this gap, Qian Daoliu unleashed his extreme speed, instantly surpassing Bibi Dong and rushing into the valley.
" Qian Daoliu!"
Bibi Dong roared, her Eight-Winged Purple Light Wings flapping violently as she soared upwards.
Having distracted himself, She Long stopped and didn't actually rush in.
"Are you crazy?" Yue Guan looked at She Long with a strange expression.
"Are you out of your mind?"
She Long glared at Yue Guan.
It's as if he had a choice!
" Elder Ju, shall we... go in?" Salas, the Platinum Bishop of Heaven Dou City, asked in a low voice.
"Go in?" Yue Guan turned to look at Salas, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion.
"You've had enough of living already?"
Salas's expression froze. "N-nothing..."
Qian Daoliu, like a bolt of lightning piercing the sky, instantly rushed into the valley. His powerful Soul Power spread outwards like a surging tide, breaking the vegetation in the valley wherever it passed. The water vapor above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was also violently stirred up by this force.
Bibi Dong followed closely behind, her black robes fluttering in the wind, her Eight-Winged Purple Light Wings radiating a mysterious and powerful purple light, each flap creating a sharp gust of air.
But her speed was ultimately no Qian Daoliu, and she couldn't catch up at all.
Qian Renxue was lying on Xuan Ming's body when she suddenly felt a terrifying surge of Soul Power. She abruptly raised her head, her face turning deathly pale.
Qian Daoliu rushed to the bottom of the valley and saw the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, as well as Qian Renxue and Xuan Ming.
Then, his expression suddenly became tense.
" Qian Daoliu! You..."
Bibi Dong followed closely behind, but before she could finish speaking, her face fell.
Qian Renxue was sitting on Xuan Ming's waist, leaning forward and pressing down on Xuan Ming's hands.
That posture just doesn't look right!
"Get down!" Bibi Dong shouted coldly.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue, who was about to move aside to explain to Qian Daoliu, stopped and looked at Bibi Dong with a cold face, "What's it to you?"
Bibi Dong clenched her fist, "Shameless!"
"I'm shameless? You think you know shame?" Qian Renxue asked coldly.
"How dare you steal a man from your own daughter?"
"You!" A hint of panic flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.
"What, did I hit the nail on the head?" Qian Renxue sneered.
"I wonder how you could go to such lengths for him. I'm really curious what Hu Liena would think of you if she knew what you've done!"
"You're not only competing with me, you're competing with her too!"
"..."
Listening to this incoherent rambling, Qian Daoliu's gaze flickered between the three of them, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, his mind struggling to process what was going on.
" Xiao Xue, what are you saying?"
"Grandpa, haven't you realized what's happening yet?" Qian Renxue looked at Bibi Dong, who was speechless.
"If she didn't have those feelings for Xuan Ming, how could she have gone to such lengths for him?"
Qian Daoliu to look at Bibi Dong, "You..."
"What's it to you?" Bibi Dong said coldly.
"..." Qian Daoliu.
They've gone mad! They've all gone mad!
Chapter 175 I'm still a child
Looking at the chaotic scene before him, Qian Daoliu felt a headache coming on. His gaze returned to Qian Renxue and Xuan Ming. Suppressing his irritation, he said in a deep voice, " Xiao Xue, get off him first. We can talk about it slowly."
Qian Renxue remained unmoved, still holding Xuan Ming's hands tightly, staring coldly at Bibi Dong. "Grandpa, we must make things clear today. What exactly does she mean?"
"What I mean is none of your business," Bibi Dong said coldly.
"I really need to get involved in this!" Qian Renxue frowned.
"You've already surrounded him with so many people, and you still have the nerve to ask such a question?" Bibi Dong sneered.
"I put people in his shoes so he could just play along, but what do you mean by pushing Hu Liena towards him? Are you looking for excitement?" Qian Renxue retorted.
"You!"
"What do you mean, 'you'? I dare to admit my feelings for him to other people's faces, do you dare!"
"You dare admit to Hu Liena that you have feelings for him?!"
"..."
Bibi Dong was speechless for a moment after being questioned by Qian Renxue, and her expression became increasingly uncertain.
Seeing this, Qian Daoliu frowned even more and said again, " Xiao Xue, no matter what, come down first."
Qian Renxue, however, seemed determined, gritting her teeth as she said, "Grandpa, I will not let go until I find out what she's thinking today. Since she dared to do it, why doesn't she dare to admit it?"
Bibi Dong snorted coldly, her gaze icy as she looked at Qian Renxue. "Admit? Why should I admit anything to you? What I do is none of your business."
Qian Renxue trembled with rage, "You... aren't you afraid of being despised? As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, how could you do such an absurd thing?"
Bibi Dong sneered, "Disdain? Who in this world can disdain me? I got to where I am today not because of other people's opinions."
Xuan Ming lay on the ground, listening to the mother and daughter arguing, feeling a terrible headache.
"Has this topic gone astray?"
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue simultaneously turned their gazes toward Xuan Ming:
"Children shouldn't interrupt adults!"
"..." Xuan Ming.
"That's surprising. You guys knew I was still a child?"
One tied him to the bed and tore his clothes off, while the other pinned him to the ground and physically restrained him!
Are they treating him like a child?
Bibi Dong felt a little guilty, "At that time..."
"What did you do then?" Qian Renxue frowned.
"None of your business!" Bibi Dong turned her head away.
Qian Renxue turned around and looked at Xuan Ming, "What did she do to you?"
"What you did is what she did," Xuan Ming said speechlessly.
Qian Renxue's expression froze, and she turned to look at Bibi Dong, "You!"
"Could you please get off me?" Xuan Ming asked.
Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback, only then realizing that she was still holding Xuan Ming tightly, but she still had no intention of leaving. She took a deep breath and turned to look at Qian Daoliu, "Grandpa, I've already spoken to him, you don't need to do anything anymore."
" Tang Hao isn't here. He created his own techniques, and he found the Soul Bone and the Blue Silver Emperor himself. It has nothing to do with Tang Hao."
Qian Daoliu frowned deeply. "Do you know what you're saying?"
"It's true!" Qian Renxue said.
"Although this guy is rude, speaks rudely, and always makes me angry, he won't say what he doesn't want to say, and he won't lie to me."
Qian Daoliu took a deep breath, "Even if his ring -Ring Detonation technique was something he created himself, how do you explain the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and the Blue Silver Emperor?"
"Found it? Why didn't he find two more transformed Soul Beast?"
They actually found it!
Bibi Dong's expression was somewhat unnatural.
The two transformed Soul Beast she chased in the Star Dou Great Forest back then were both "picked up" for her by Xuan Ming!
"Grandpa, I know this is incredible, but he wouldn't lie to me," Qian Renxue insisted.
"If he had any brains, he wouldn't have gotten this far with me."
