An Agreement with the Old Sea God: Protecting the Angel God for One Year

At first, Qian Xunling wasn't entirely sure about her guess, but seeing the Old Sea God's solemn expression, Qian Xunling felt that even if the result was wrong, it wouldn't be too far off.

"Since you've put it that way, I won't pretend anymore." Qian Xunling sneered, "Asura and Evil want to seize my Martial Soul, but due to the God Realm Committee and the other three God King, they can't take action themselves. However, since seizing my Martial Soul would also benefit the other three God King, and even the entire Divine Realm, the three of them are going to turn a blind eye to Asura and Evil's actions, right?"

The Old Sea God didn't hide his surprise at Qian Xunling's guess, replying, "I don't know either, but it might be what you're saying."

"Stop pretending, don't think I don't know you want to leave the Divine Realm because you're afraid of being implicated?" Qian Xunling chuckled, staring at the Old Sea God.

The Old Sea God's expression was calm, but it only confirmed the truth. However, Qian Xunling did not mock him. Anyone who knew the truth would be unafraid and would run away.

Only his naive and innocent ancestor remained oblivious, entertaining himself in the dark.

After pondering for a long time, the Old Sea God looked at Qian Xunling and asked, "Do you know any other gods in the Divine Realm?"

"So what if I do, and so what if I don't?" Qian Xunling waved her hand and added, "If you don't agree to my request, then we'll just wait and see whether Bo Saixi overcomes her inner demons on her own, or you find the next successor. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry."

"No, no, Asura and Evil are too powerful. I'm nothing but a fart in their eyes," the Old Sea God complained, continuing, "Don't be fooled by my good relationship with Asura. Our temples are even next door. If I really commit a crime, or end up on his desk, he'll be the first to chop me down."

"Alright then, let's do it this way." Qian Xunling looked indifferent. She wanted to help her ancestor, but unfortunately, her power was limited.

However, the Old Sea God hesitated to withdraw his consciousness space, still pondering something.

Seeing that he still couldn't make a decision, Qian Xunling said, "Just as I just said, the God King aren't all of one mind. The three God King Life, Kindness, and Destruction turn a blind eye, which means that as long as you make a big scene or use a self-inflicted injury as a pretext, they will definitely help you."

"That won't do either, I'll be in real trouble after that." The Old Sea God shook his head. He couldn't stand being secretly sabotaged by the two God King, Asura and Evil. At this moment, Qian Xunling continued, "What does this have to do with you? If Bo Saixi gets rid of her inner demons, you can just drop everything and leave. Besides, with Bo Saixi's talent, she probably won't even need a year to get rid of her inner demons. She could probably complete your Ninth Trial Sea God trial in a month or even a day."

The Old Sea God was well aware of Bo Saixi's aptitude; it was safe to say that there was no one more suitable than Bo Saixi to be his successor.

But... will he live to see the day Bo Saixi becomes a god?

No, we need to haggle a bit more.

The Old Sea God stared at Qian Xunling and said, "I can agree, but you must set off immediately for Sea God Island to dispel Little Xi's inner demons."

"Impossible. My wedding is imminent, and Tang Chen has already begun the Asura God Trial. I need to deal with them before I can go to Sea God Island," Qian Xunling added. "Besides, I'm only Level 97 now. I might not even be able to protect myself on Sea God Island."

"Stop bragging. Don't think I don't know how powerful your Level 97 Soul Power is. Even a typical Level 99 Limit Douluo couldn't handle you. Although Little Xi has mastered a considerable amount of my Sea God's Power, it's still not enough to keep you here," the Old Sea God bargained. But Qian Xunling didn't back down at all, saying, "Three years. Come back in three years."

"No, six months!" The Old Sea God shook his head, raising his index finger. Qian Xunling also shook her head, saying, "Two years."

"One year. With my strength, I can only hold off the two great God King, Asura and Evil, for a year at most. I won't do it any longer," the Old Sea God said angrily. At this moment, Qian Xunling nodded upon hearing this. "Deal."

"You!" The Old Sea God gritted his teeth, knowing he had been tricked by Qian Xunling again and pushed to the limit, but in the end he didn't say anything, adding, "That's settled then. I'll protect your ancestor for a year, but if she seeks her own death, I won't stop her."

"Hmm." Qian Xunling lost interest in arguing with the Old Sea God and nodded directly. Seeing Qian Xunling's attitude, the Old Sea God was even more displeased. He directly withdrew his own layer of Sea God consciousness space and flew out of the Angel Temple. The Angel God looked at the Sea God leaving in such anger in surprise, and then his consciousness returned to his consciousness space.

She had many questions she wanted to ask, but as soon as she appeared, Qian Xunling raised her hand and said, "I don't want to answer. You just need to know that you saved me before and now I want to repay you. As for the other things, it won't do you any good to know, and I don't intend to tell you anyway."

The Angel God quickly agreed, saying, "Alright."

Her reaction left Qian Xunling unsure whether to find it amusing or endearing, but she simply didn't want to become that person.

However, Qian Xunling quickly calmed down and said, "Since there's nothing else, let me go back. I still have a lot of things to take care of."

"Your daughter, and your elder brother's daughter, both seem quite suitable to inherit my Godhood," the Angel God said. In fact, she had been keeping an eye on Qian Xunling's situation during the time she had been restricted in her freedom.

Upon hearing this, Qian Xunling immediately retorted, "Just give your Godhood to my elder brother; I'll make my own arrangements for my daughter."

"Okay." The Angel God agreed without much reaction, while Qian Xunling breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that her ancestor was sometimes too terrifying.

soon.

Qian Xunling then returned to the Worship Hall.

Sensing the commotion, Qian Daoliu immediately approached Qian Xunling, but his expression was somewhat gloomy. He asked, "Have you finished negotiating?"

Qian Daoliu's sourness was practically radiating to Qian Xunling's face. Qian Xunling shrank back and replied, "It's settled. After performing the Soul Power ritual for Xue'er and Bing'er and eliminating the Clear Sky Sect, I'll go to Sea God Island to meet Bo Saixi."

"You should remember what I just told you, right?" Qian Daoliu's expression immediately turned serious.

Qian Xunling waved her hand and said, "I know, she's just a hundred-year-old housewife, is it necessary for you to like her so much?"

"Don't speak ill of Bo Saixi," Qian Daoliu scolded.

Qian Xunling was sweating profusely. He nodded and quickly walked out of the Worship Hall, but Qian Daoliu followed.

The two of them flew towards the Pope's Hall.

Upon seeing the two return, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and the Golden Crocodile Clan immediately cheered and rushed over. Qian Daoliu, however, focused directly on Qian Ningxue. His face, which had been filled with a mixture of sourness and gloom, making him look as if he had aged more than thirty years, suddenly brightened, and he smiled, opening his hands wide. "Oh, my little granddaughter, my little darling, did you miss your grandpa?"

Qian Daoliu immediately pushed away Guang Ling, who had just picked up Qian Ningxue, and then took Qian Ningxue back, overjoyed.

Guang Ling said angrily, "Big brother!"

Golden Crocodile put his arm around Guang Ling's shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, give me some face."

"I'll give you an egg!" Guang Ling angrily kicked the Golden Crocodile, then struggled with Qian Daoliu for Qian Ningxue, but Qian Daoliu reacted extremely quickly and didn't even get a scratch.

Seeing the old guys' expressions, Qian Xunling smiled, and Snow Empress also smiled. However, at this moment, Ice Empress shouted, "All of you, stop right now!"

Qian Daoliu straightened his back, only to see Ice Empress snatch Qian Ningxue away, rolling his eyes at them. "This is too dangerous."

"It's not dangerous, it's not dangerous." Qian Daoliu and the others kept chasing after Qian Ningxue in Ice Empress's hands.

Qian Xunling covered her forehead and then saw Bibi Dong. Bibi Dong avoided Qian Xunling's gaze, while Qian Xunling raised her hand and flicked her forehead.

"Ouch." Bibi Dong covered her forehead, looking at her uncle with a resentful expression. Qian Xunling smiled, and Bibi Dong smiled too.
