Asura God's Scheme
"Godfather, Xiao Xue misses you so much..."
The girl wrapped her arms around Lu Cheng's neck, her eyes crinkling with a smile, and began to whisper, then secretly complained, "Mom punished me by putting me in time-out, saying I didn't learn court etiquette well enough..."
"..." Lu Cheng frowned slightly.
She glanced at Bibi Dong, the newly crowned empress, who was dressed in a gown and exuded nobility and elegance. When Bibi Dong saw Qian Renxue whispering in Lu Cheng's ear, her expression turned slightly unpleasant. She wanted to reprimand her, but dared not say anything in front of everyone.
She is now at the titled realm, but the stronger her cultivation, the more she can feel the terror of this man. She can't see through him at all, and even that old bastard Qian Daoliu is far less powerful than this guy.
Lu Cheng smiled and ruffled Qian Renxue's hair, "Your mother is doing this for your own good..."
Qian Renxue frowned, her face contorted in a pained expression, and said, "But Xiao Xue doesn't like it."
Lu Cheng remained silent for a long time. In the past, he didn't interfere much with Bibi Dong's choices, after all, she was the child's biological mother. However, learning court etiquette and sending Qian Renxue to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family were his taboo subjects, and he wouldn't allow any objections.
"Then I'll tell your mother afterwards."
"Yay!" Qian Renxue gave Lu Cheng a big kiss on the cheek and danced with joy.
"Xiao Xue! You must be polite in front of guests." Bibi Dong couldn't help but speak, her brows furrowing slightly.
"The child is still young... how can we talk about manners?" Lu Cheng smiled and looked around at the many guests, "What do you all think?"
"Lord Lu is quite right. Children of this age are at the stage where they can express their true nature. Master, please do not worry."
"Yes, we think it's cute too."
The surrounding sect leaders and royal nobles all smiled obsequiously.
A smile appeared in Lu Cheng's eyes.
[In the same year, Qian Renxue awakened the pure Angel Martial Soul bloodline and possessed Innate Full Soul Power at level twenty. You stood aside, your face full of satisfaction, but out of the corner of your eye, you noticed with surprise that Bibi Dong was gritting her teeth. It seemed that the Angel Martial Soul had reminded her of some unpleasant memories.]
[You feel somewhat helpless. The grudges of your parents' generation have dragged the children into it. Qian Renxue is truly innocent, so you can only use your own abilities to help that Qian Xunji and make amends to Qian Renxue. The girl's smile grows brighter, and she rushes towards you every time she sees you from afar.]
[You thought that although Bibi Dong didn't particularly like her daughter because of Qian Xunji, she was still her mother, and blood was thicker than water; time would eventually change her. But then one day, you noticed the bruises on Qian Renxue's arm and, after questioning her carefully, learned that Bibi Dong's attitude towards Qian Renxue was exceptionally bad; she would beat and verbally abuse her, and even frequently lock her in a dark room.]
[You were extremely angry. In front of countless Spirit Hall Spirit Hall experts and several law enforcement elders, you pointed your finger at Bibi Dong and launched into a tirade, also including Chrysanthemum, Old Ghost, and others in your attack. Many Spirit Hall experts were speechless, intimidated by your imposing aura, and could only listen obediently. Bibi Dong, was furious, her face turning ashen.]
[Finally, you left with a single sentence, simply taking Qian Renxue back to your residence to be cared for by Gu Yuena, thus stripping Bibi Dong of her right to look after her. Bibi Dong was furious, but could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger.]
[Another year has passed. Under Gu Yuena Na'er's care, Qian Renxue has grown happily. You have given her another Immortal Herb, and in just one year, she has soared from level twenty-one to level thirty-two. No one could have imagined that this period would be the happiest time of her life for the next ten years.]
[That same year, you suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation emanating from the Slaughter City. You took Gu Yue and Na'er to investigate. You encountered the King of Slaughter, Tang Chen, who had lost his mind. But the moment you entered the Slaughter City, Gu Yue suddenly attacked from behind, her Silver Dragon Spear piercing your chest and penetrating your heart.]
[You look behind you in shock, only to find Gu Yue's face contorted in agony, yet seemingly out of control. Her eyes gradually turn bloodshot, and strange, dark red energy erupts from her body. This is... the aura of the Asura God! You finally realize, and the Asura God's avatar finally appears, looking at you with a mocking expression. It reveals some mysteries that have been troubling you: it turns out that the Dragon God's madness was partly due to Asura's methods. Taking advantage of the Dragon God's weakest moment in rebuilding the Divine Court, Asura God's divine power eroded his mind, forcing him to go insane. Otherwise, how could the mighty Dragon God be driven mad for no reason by some so-called universal law?]
[As for what happened later, the battles between the Soul Beast and humans in this star field, the matter of the Soul Ring, were all his doing. Furthermore, the fact that the Soul Beast couldn't become gods was also due to his influence and manipulation of the Dragon God's orders.]
[You finally understand. No wonder there's a riot among the Soul Beast in this world, killing each other. It turns out it was He who instigated this trouble. You ask the Asura God for the reason with a complicated expression. He says that the reason he can now be one of the five Supreme God King in the Divine Realm is because He dislikes the Beast God and the beast race ruling the Divine Realm.]
[You are helpless. Although you have received the answer, your Life is hanging by a thread. The Asura God clearly has no intention of interfering in mortal affairs, but Gu Yue behind you has already lost control. Even though she forcibly suppressed her killing intent, she cannot avoid being bewitched by the Asura God. Just when you thought you were about to die, you suddenly saw Na'er rushing towards you. She chose to merge with Gu Yue, using a trace of her humanity to suppress the violent beast within Gu Yue.]
[At this point, the Silver Dragon King had returned to his complete form, his eyes regaining their coldness. The Asura God, enraged, wanted to kill him, but was stopped by the fully-formed Gu Yuena. The Divine Realm was forbidden from interfering in the mortal realm; minor skirmishes were one thing, but if the commotion escalated, Destruction and the others wouldn't spare Asura. Therefore, the Asura God left, cursing under his breath.]
[Only Gu Yuena remained, holding you, her face streaked with tears.]
[But you felt somewhat embarrassed, because you discovered that you seemed to be immortal. The Golden Dragon King Martial Soul's immense Life allowed you to slowly repair yourself even if your heart were crushed.]
[However, this would take quite a while, so Gu Yuena simply took you back to the core area of Star Dou Great Forest, beneath the Lake of Life, to let you cultivate, and you slowly fell into a deep sleep.]
