"???" Xuan Ming looked completely bewildered.
Are you praising me or insulting me?
Qian Renxue reached out and covered Xuan Ming's mouth with her hand, "Grandpa, please believe me this once, okay?"
"But this matter has already escalated to this point, do you think there's still room for maneuver?" Qian Daoliu said calmly.
If it weren't for that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, he would have been dead after taking that sword strike.
Divine Soul Power possesses an extremely strong ablation effect, but it also has a very powerful restorative ability.
The divine Soul Power he used to invade the boy's body was originally intended to stabilize his life so he could ask about the Ring Detonation, but he didn't expect to force out the Blue Silver Emperor.
Qian Daoliu glanced at Bibi Dong, "Besides, if we don't kill him now, it's uncertain who will kill whom in the future."
Qian Renxue turned to Xuan Ming, "Can you guarantee you won't retaliate in the future?"
If you can, then don't say anything; if you can't, then just say you can't.
As she spoke, Qian Renxue forcefully covered Xuan Ming's mouth, giving him no chance to speak.
"Ugh!"
"Grandpa, look, he agreed."
"..." Xuan Ming.
"..." Qian Daoliu.
"..." Bibi Dong.
Qian Daoliu sighed, " Xiao Xue, it's not that I insist on killing him, it's for your sake."
Given Bibi Dong's example, he really didn't dare to gamble on such a thing!
"But I don't want him to die," Qian Renxue said.
"Can you guarantee he won't let you die in the future?" Qian Daoliu's tone was slightly somber.
Qian Renxue turned to look at Xuan Ming, her eyes filled with expectation and determination, " Xuan Ming, tell me quickly, you definitely won't let me die, right?"
"Let go of my hand," Qian Daoliu said.
Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand.
Xuan Ming glanced at Qian Daoliu. "Is this a threat?"
"It's a transaction," Qian Daoliu said.
"If you promise never to hurt her again, I won't lay a hand on her today."
Xuan Ming opened his mouth, about to speak, but Qian Renxue pinched his side hard.
Xuan Ming, somewhat speechless, grabbed Qian Renxue's hands. "If she doesn't force me, I can guarantee I won't hurt her in the slightest."
"Force you? What do you mean?" Qian Daoliu asked.
"She knows it herself," Xuan Ming said.
Before Qian Daoliu could say anything more, Qian Renxue interrupted him, "Grandpa, is that enough?"
Qian Daoliu gave Qian Renxue a deep look. "I hope you won't regret your decision today."
After saying that, Qian Daoliu his head and glanced at Bibi Dong.
"Snort!"
With a cold snort, Qian Daoliu turned and flew away.
"..."
Although the atmosphere eased slightly after Qian Daoliu left, a subtle tension still lingered.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that without Qian Daoliu, the atmosphere here is even more eerie.
"Are you ready to go down?" Xuan Ming broke the silence first.
"How far did she go?" Qian Renxue asked Bibi Dong in a deep voice.
Xuan Ming's eye twitched slightly. "You want to follow suit?"
"Which step?" Qian Renxue turned around, gritting her teeth, and stared intently into Xuan Ming's eyes.
Xuan Ming sighed, "She tore my clothes."
"And then?" Qian Renxue clenched her fists instinctively.
"What else do you want then?" Xuan Ming asked speechlessly.
"You..." Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, glanced at Bibi Dong, and turned back.
"Did you...?"
Xuan Ming took a deep breath. "I'm still a child."
"A child?" Qian Renxue's expression was somewhat unnatural.
"You... can't do it?"
"..." Xuan Ming.
"Go down."
Qian Renxue felt a little guilty, "Don't worry, this can be cured, I..."
"I'm not sick!"
"Don't be angry, I didn't mean it..."
"Get down!"
"Oh..."
Qian Renxue reluctantly got off Xuan Ming and stood aside, but her gaze unconsciously drifted towards a certain private area.
She's been sitting there for so long and hasn't reacted at all, which is different from what's written in the book.
Could it be that Xuan Ming really has a problem in this area?
No wonder this guy never gets close to Dugu Yan and the others...
"Where are you looking?" Xuan Ming was starting to lose his composure.
"I was worried about you." Qian Renxue looked at Xuan Ming with a mixture of resentment and concern in her eyes.
"You're still young. You should get sick early, especially this kind of illness."
Xuan Ming took a deep breath, "I'm not sick!"
"Yes, you're not sick, I believe you, don't be angry."
"..." Xuan Ming.
You fucking bastard!
Chapter 176 Pretend it never happened
"Is there really something wrong with your...?"
Due to the eerie atmosphere and Qian Daoliu calling for help outside, Qian Renxue quickly left.
However, Bibi Dong started again.
Considering Xuan Ming's situation in Heaven Dou City over the years, and the fact that he never gets too close to the girls around him, it's really abnormal for someone of his vigorous age!
Xuan Ming is no child. As a beast Soul Master with a dragon Martial Soul, and having already absorbed four powerful high-level Soul Ring, his body has long been fully developed.
"What do you think?" Xuan Ming asked, his face darkening.
"That's not what I meant," Bibi Dong quickly explained.
"It's just those girls..."
"I'm exhausted like a dog every day, do you think I have the energy to think about this and that?" Xuan Ming said speechlessly.
"But you should still be careful, just in case there really is a problem," Bibi Dong said.
"You're still young, early detection and treatment are crucial."
"..." Xuan Ming.
Can we skip this topic?
Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
It's perfectly normal for boys to be reluctant to talk about these kinds of topics.
Xuan Ming was silent for a moment, then said, "Have we taken the topic too far off track?"
If he remembers correctly, the current situation should be very critical.
How did things get so inexplicably like this?
"If she hadn't been so unreasonable, this matter wouldn't have ended so easily," Bibi Dong said.
Qian Renxue did it on purpose; she forcibly drew Qian Daoliu and Xuan Ming's attention to herself.
They didn't give Xuan Ming a chance to say more, to prevent the matter from escalating to the point where it resembled the situation in Spirit City.
Avoid the important and focus on the trivial.
It seems he hasn't made no progress at all.
"And you?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Are you... really that serious?"
For many years Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong was basically seen as a puppet who was promoted by Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile E.
Bibi Dong never had any conflict with Qian Daoliu's side. Even if something did happen, she would tolerate it as much as possible.
It was only in recent years, after Bibi Dong reached Level 99, that she finally truly grasped the power of the Pope's Palace and gained a certain degree of influence.
But this time, by taking Qian Renxue, they have already broken ties with Qian Daoliu.
After this incident, things at the Pope's Palace are likely to become more complicated.
"Whether it's that bad or not, I know for myself," Bibi Dong said.
"So, what are your plans for dealing with Qian Renxue now?"
She never expected Qian Renxue to go to such lengths for Xuan Ming. In this situation where the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released, Qian Renxue forced Qian Daoliu to retract it.
If Qian Renxue hadn't been so resolute, Qian Daoliu would definitely have made a move today!
"I don't know," Xuan Ming said.
"We'll talk about it later. I don't have the time or energy right now."
"You go back first, I'm going to stay here for the rest of the time."
Bibi Dong glanced at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, wanting to ask many questions, but considering Xuan Ming's current situation, she swallowed her words and simply said, "Mm."
"By the way, don't tell anyone about this place," Xuan Ming said.
"Understood." Bibi Dong gently flapped her wings and flew away.
Watching Bibi Dong leave, Xuan Ming sighed and sat down on the shore of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. "Will it be alright if I continue soaking like this?"
"There's a problem," the Ice Dragon King said.
"However, given the current situation, I might have to speed things up for you."
"Speed up the process?" Xuan Ming asked, looking puzzled.
"What's the meaning?"
"I'll help you absorb the dragon bones in advance," the Ice Dragon King said.
"Ahead of schedule? Didn't you say I couldn't touch it anymore?" Xuan Ming said.
"You couldn't handle it before, but after all these years here, you should be able to handle it by now," the Ice Dragon King said.
The Dragon King's bones are not something ordinary people can absorb; without a sufficiently powerful Dragon Clan bloodline, one is simply not qualified to touch them.
