"Idiot!"
Qian Xunji was still in a foul mood, but Bo Saixi watched as though enjoying a show. Her delicate feet treading on the grass, she walked around him twice. "I couldn't tell you were the sort who wouldn't even spare his own disciple."
Qian Xunji: "..."
"One more word, and I'll spank you!"
Dark lines covered Qian Xunji's face. What did that beast's actions have to do with him?
Bo Saixi's eyes widened at once. This fellow was outrageous!
But there was nothing she could do. She couldn't beat him, so she couldn't simply attack him.
Qian Renxue didn't respond to the scolding. She merely kept her head lowered, occasionally glancing up at Qian Xunji.
"All that talent, wasted on things that don't matter.
Your Innate Soul Power should have been at the maximum level, right?"
Qian Xunji asked. Qian Renxue shook her head. "I... was innately Level 20."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Qian Renxue regretted them.
If Innate Full Soul Power earned her a scolding for being useless, wouldn't Level 20 make her even more useless?
"Innately Level 20?"
...Original timeline...
Countless people marveled.
The young master of Spirit Hall possessed such terrifying talent. Innate Soul Power at Level 20 was simply unheard of.
How many people under heaven possessed Innate Full Soul Power?
"Now that you mention it, this Qian Renxue really does seem foolish.
With such outstanding talent, she went undercover?"
...Sky screen timeline...
Qian Xunji drew a deep breath, as though furious. "I died in your spacetime.
Did the old man die too?
Did he just stand by and watch you waste your talent?"
Qian Xunji was truly furious that she had failed to live up to her potential, and even scolded Qian Daoliu along with her.
"Idiot! You had a winning hand and played it to ruin.
And you even let that traitor Bibi Dong sit on the Pope's throne?
Aren't you afraid she'll destroy Spirit Hall?"
Qian Renxue pressed her lips tightly together. "Grandpa said that, after all, she's my mother."
"Is she worthy? Giving birth to you wasn't what she wanted, and raising you wasn't what she wanted either.
After she tried to kill you several times, you no longer owe her anything on account of that blood tie.
If you want her approval, there's only one way.
Destroy Spirit Hall and let her be with that swine.
Even then, she'll still hate you.
That was your father's mistake. You shouldn't have to bear it.
The only thing you can do is carry forward and bring glory to the Spirit Hall your father left you.
Instead of showing a woman's mercy and seeking some so-called approval.
Once you become a god, who would dare withhold their approval?
Once you become a god, who would dare defy you?
The weaker you are, the more she despises you.
If you're strong enough, judge her for all her crimes and knock her off her pedestal.
Then she'll naturally realize that, without Spirit Hall's support, no one would want her even if she offered to bear their children!"
Qian Xunji's words rang like thunder in her ears. Qian Renxue raised her eyes and fell deep in thought.
...Original timeline...
Bibi Dong went mad. "Judge me?
Qian Xunji, who do you think you are?
What gives you the right to judge me?
You ruined me, so I'll ruin you too!
Not only will I kill you, I'll destroy your Spirit Hall and ruin your daughter. I'll destroy the whole world!"
The evil thoughts emanating from Bibi Dong grew denser, and her Soul Power surged sharply as well.
...Sky screen timeline...
Qian Renxue didn't utter a word as she was scolded, her eyes misting over.
"Hmph. I've seen through that woman Bibi Dong.
She doesn't know what's good for her. She's an ungrateful white-eyed wolf. The better you treat her, the harder she'll stab you in the back.
You can only stay in this spacetime for three months.
If you go back after three months, what do you plan to do?"
Qian Xunji asked, and only then did Qian Renxue speak. "Return to Spirit Hall, cultivate diligently, inherit the Angel Godhood, and reclaim the Pope's position.
As for Bibi Dong..."
"You're still softhearted. That's only natural, because she's your mother.
But you need to remember that she's tried to kill you more than once.
You may be softhearted, but she isn't.
You might be willing to spare her, but her talent is no worse than yours.
More than twenty years have passed. Even if her cultivation hasn't reached the pinnacle, it can't be far off.
She may even have a god's inheritance.
Give her the chance, and she'll kill you without the slightest hesitation.
Prepare yourself for that.
For these three months, I'll do everything in my power to train you.
Whether you live or die after you return will be none of my concern."
Qian Xunji's voice was cold, but Qian Renxue smiled.
It turned out that her father loved her even in a different spacetime.
Though she had failed to live up to expectations, he was still willing to train her.
"With only three months, there isn't enough time to undertake the Sea God Trial."
The Sea God Trial often set deadlines measured in years. Three months wasn't enough even for the first trial.
"Special circumstances call for special measures.
You've already taken an Immortal Herb?
Your Soul Power must be close to Level 70 too, right?"
Qian Xunji sensed that the sacred flame emanating from Qian Renxue was strong and pure.
Far, far purer than an ordinary Angel Martial Soul.
"Yes... Dad, I took two immortal-grade herbs.
My Soul Power is Level 69 now.
But I feel like I'll be able to break through to Level 70 soon."
"Mm. Let the high priest take you to rest first."
Qian Xunji spoke after pondering for a moment.
Bo Saixi snorted. "I'm not your servant."
Though she said that, she still had someone prepare a place for Qian Xunji to stay.
Ah Yin and Ye Qingxian's trials had already begun. They cultivated methodically and hardly needed Qian Xunji to worry about them.
Of course, if Qian Xunji lent them a hand, they would complete the trials faster.
That night, in Qian Xunji's room.
Ah Yin and Ye Qingxian had washed up and were about to take Qian Xunji by the arms and go to bed.
This time, the image on the sky screen didn't blur.
"Whoa, the sky screen has a bug! We can see what's really happening this time."
"Damn, no way!
Are we really allowed to watch this?"
On the sky screen.
Qian Xunji sat on the bed with his daughters in his arms, but he didn't go about his usual activities.
"Your Majesty, how do you plan to train Qian Renxue?
It's really amazing that Your Majesty's future self would have such a daughter.
She's so outstanding, except..."
"Not very smart!"
Qian Xunji finished for her, and Ye Qingxian nodded.
"You don't need to concern yourselves with her.
You've already begun your divine trials, and you have the next year to complete Crossing the Sea God's Light.
It won't be difficult for you, but it will still be something of a challenge.
The divine trial gives you a year.
I'm giving you six months."
"Six months?"
The two women cried out in surprise. Qian Xunji waved a hand, telling them not to make a fuss.
"I have a cultivation technique called the Bright Jade Technique. Once you cultivate it, your cultivation speed will at least double. And once you master it, your Soul Power will flow endlessly, growing the more you use it.
It has another enormous benefit for you."
"What is it?"
"Cultivate this technique, and you can retain your youth forever."
"Really?"
Ye Qingxian's beautiful eyes lit up, and she sat upright in Qian Xunji's arms.
The sky screen instantly blurred, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Bo Saixi personally brought food, while Qian Renxue had risen early and was waiting outside the room.
Qian Xunji, on the other hand, didn't emerge until the sun was high in the sky.
It couldn't be helped. The two girls were sixteen, at the most energetic age.
He simply couldn't refuse their enthusiasm.
Besides, he wanted to have a couple of children soon.
Seeing Qian Renxue waiting outside, Qian Xunji raised a hand and ruffled her hair.
"That dress looks lovely on you today. A girl should be pretty and happy.
Go on, find your two aunties and learn the Bright Jade Technique first.
I'm going into the sea to find you a suitable Soul Beast for your seventh ring."
