Qian Renxue Was Stunned: How Did Grandpa Golden Crocodile Turn into a Pile of Charcoal?

"That's..."

Qian Daoliu widened his eyes, scarcely able to believe what he was seeing.

Thump!

Qian Renxue landed, the three pairs of golden wings behind her folding away.

She curiously surveyed the scene, and when she saw a whole swath of people from Spirit Hall kneeling, unmistakable shock appeared on her face.

Few people present recognized her, though. Aside from a handful on Spirit Hall's side, everyone else simply thought she looked just like the Six-Winged Angel goddess.

The frost moving across the ground came to a halt, and Gui Mei and Pufferfish tumbled off it. The ice covering the two men, who had been turned into ice sculptures, shattered all over the ground.

"Damn it! I swear! I'm never traveling like that again!"

"Achoo! Achoo!"

Gui Mei lost his temper in despair. He wiped his nose and turned around, only to be so startled he nearly fell on his backside.

What's going on...?

Why is everyone from Spirit Hall kneeling to me?

Bibi Dong's face was as cold as frost. Deeply embarrassed, she did not dare look ahead.

Qian Daoliu was equally embarrassed. He had not seen his granddaughter in so long, and he had never expected their reunion to take place under these circumstances.

This could almost rank first on the list of most embarrassing moments in his life.

But after a few glances, Ghost Douluo roughly understood. Everyone from Spirit Hall was not kneeling to him, but to the two people on the stage.

"Grandpa, what are you all..."

Qian Renxue hurried over to Qian Daoliu and tried to help him up, but he hastily pushed her hand away.

"Don't help me up."

"Why are you kneeling?!"

Qian Renxue was utterly shocked and could not understand. The dignified Great Enshrined was kneeling in front of the people of Spirit City. What kind of behavior was this?

Qian Daoliu asked in return, "I'd like to ask you the same thing. Why did you suddenly come back?"

At the mention of this, Qian Renxue's anger flared.

"Elder She Long said he had to leave for a while. When Elder Pufferfish saw him leave, he couldn't resist coming along too. With both of them gone, what was I supposed to do on my own..."

She sounded helpless as she said this.

"I could only come back with them. Besides, I was curious about what was happening here too."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu immediately glared at Elders She Long and Pufferfish. The two elders could only lower their heads, not even daring to glance his way.

"Did he make you kneel?"

Qian Renxue looked around at everyone, then turned to Shen Luo on the stage.

Only now did the people who did not recognize her understand. This was the Great Enshrined's granddaughter, who had vanished without a trace for a long time: Qian Renxue, the young master of the Worship Hall, who also possessed the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

Qian Renxue glared angrily at Shen Luo and was about to step forward, but Qian Daoliu immediately grabbed her hand.

"Didn't She Long and the others tell you? We can't afford to offend this divine lord. Look at your Grandpa Golden Crocodile."

Qian Daoliu pointed at Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was still lying face down on the ground, charred black all over.

Qian Renxue was stunned. "How did Grandpa Golden Crocodile turn into a pile of charcoal?!"

"Not quite, but he's close..." At that point, Qian Daoliu finally damn well realized that Golden Crocodile had been lying on the ground for so long, and no one had healed him yet!

"Yan, hurry and heal the Second Worship! Don't let him actually die!"

"Yes!"

Yan hurried to the Second Worship's side and used Barbara's Elemental Burst.

The moment the twin-tailed girl appeared, everyone covered by the blue tide of water felt refreshed once more.

Qian Daoliu's weakness vanished completely, while Qian Renxue's Soul Power, depleted by her long journey through the night, was instantly replenished. Even her slightly pale face grew rosy.

Most astonishing of all, the Second Worship, who had been lying on the ground charred black from head to toe, now shook his head, scattering the ash covering him, and stood up as though nothing had happened.

Qian Renxue stared in a daze... The Second Worship had clearly looked as though he was about to die just now, yet he had actually recovered so quickly?!

Of course, the change in her own condition shocked her just as much.

An incredibly powerful group heal?

In any case, there was no doubt that this ability came from one of those special characters she was so curious about.

She Long had already told her that the young man on the stage had given all these characters away.

When the Second Worship came to and saw everyone else kneeling, he looked up fearfully at Shen Luo, then silently knelt down as well, his temper nowhere to be seen.

Qian Renxue watched it happen, and the newly arrived girl was shocked once again.

Qian Daoliu took his granddaughter's hand again and said solemnly:

"We deserve this punishment. Don't try to stand up for us. Go and stand with those elders over there. Don't ask any more questions. Whatever they do later, you do the same."

Since Qian Renxue had already come, she could not be allowed to make the trip for nothing.

The appearance of these five-star characters was of great significance. To tell the truth, if Qian Renxue had not come this time, Qian Daoliu had intended to find an opportunity later to have his granddaughter sneak back, draw her characters, and then leave.

A somewhat baffled Qian Renxue walked over to the elders. Ling Yuan came to her side and whispered, "Yes, young master, don't be impulsive. Do you know who beat the Second Worship into that state?"

"Him?"

Qian Renxue glanced warily at Shen Luo on the stage.

To her surprise, Ling Yuan shook her head solemnly, then said, "It was the ordinary people of Spirit City..."

"What?!"

Qian Renxue cried out in shock.

She gently covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes shining with utter disbelief.

Ling Yuan said solemnly, "So don't try to challenge that person's authority. Later, just do whatever we do."

"Draw characters, right? I heard She Long mention it... But I didn't expect these characters to be so powerful!"

Qian Renxue could no longer keep her composure.

Gui Mei, Pufferfish, and She Long, who had just returned, saw everyone on their side kneeling and immediately did not dare act too presumptuously either.

They all stood obediently where they were, using their eyes to ask Yue Guan whether they could draw cards normally now.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Pufferfish was about to walk toward the stage, but Yue Guan beat him to it.

"What are you doing?"

"I heard it from She Long. I'm here to draw cards! I haven't drawn even once yet!" Pufferfish said, his eyes wide.

Yue Guan frowned. "Let me draw my hard pity first. Don't you know what first come, first served means?!"

Seeing this, Ling Yuan promptly gave each of the two men a punch on the head.

"The young master is here! You still want to draw before her?!"

Hearing this, Yue Guan and Pufferfish silently took a step back and gestured for Qian Renxue to go ahead.

"Young master, after you."

Qian Renxue hurriedly said, "Elder Ju should go first. I... I'm still a little confused about what's going on."

Just then, a scream came from behind them.

Qian Renxue quickly turned around, only to discover a girl with short golden hair thoroughly thrashing Elder She Long!

And the girl was using a very beautiful female character.

She Long cried in alarm, "Wait! What kind of five-star character is that?! How is she stronger than me?!"

Hu Liena said, "Yae Miko! A god's familiar at C1! Tell me, is she strong or not? Come on, Elder She Long, let me get some experience."

Qian Renxue was astonished.

How does everyone have a character like that?!

She suddenly felt as though she were living in the last century...
