Qian Renxue Successfully Breaks Through to Soul Emperor

Qian Renxue looked somewhat exasperated.

"That's what I hate most about Grandpa. What era is this? Why does he still cling to that old-fashioned way of thinking?"

"A child just grabs whatever catches their fancy on a whim. Whether the thing they grab has a good meaning or a bad one, can you really judge the rest of that child's life by it?"

Qian Renxue's brows knitted tightly, and she was a little angry.

She had a bellyful of complaints, especially when she thought about how Grandpa still wouldn't let go of the matter of Lin Luo's Martial Soul.

If I had inherited Bibi Dong's Martial Soul, would I have been unworthy of being his granddaughter?

Qian Renxue thought angrily. She was already a mother who would stand up for her child.

Guang Ling was just as helpless. "There's no helping it. He's set in his ways and doesn't know how to adapt. What else can we do? Should the two of us stage a rebellion?"

"...Fifth Grandpa, you're teasing me again."

Guang Ling laughed, walked over to the table, and rubbed Lin Luo's head.

"Luo'er, are you drinking water? How about letting Great-Grandpa have a sip?"

Lin Luo hugged his Milk Bottle and reluctantly turned his little body away.

Qian Renxue snorted. "Ignore him. This little rascal is stingier than anyone. Sigh, I wonder what he'll be like when he grows up."

Despite what she said, Qian Renxue's heart was full of sweetness. The narcissus jade muscle bone her baby had picked for her was still untouched, kept in a vase.

Guang Ling burst out laughing as well.

"Awoo~"

At that moment, Xiao Hong quietly crept over to Guang Ling's feet and took a secret sniff of him, then hopped away behind Qian Renxue.

Guang Ling said, "Why is this little fox acting like a puppy?"

Qian Renxue said, "It's called Xiao Hong."

Guang Ling smiled wryly. "Well, look at that. Taking care of two little ones all by yourself really isn't easy."

With that, he walked over to Lin Luo and took something straight out from inside his robes.

"Luo'er, Great-Grandpa has a great treasure to show you."

Lin Luo looked over and saw that the object in Guang Ling's hand was a golden cube. Its surface bore exquisite patterns, as though it had been pieced together from golden feathers.

At the very top of the cube stood a Six-Winged Angel totem depicting half its body.

Qian Renxue exclaimed, "The Angel Soul Seal?"

"It's fake. This is a sample." Guang Ling casually hefted it in his hand, then spoke to Lin Luo again. "Luo'er, have you gotten a good look? Grab this at the first-birthday selection tomorrow."

Qian Renxue was a little bewildered. "Huh? Fifth Grandpa, you mean Grandpa is going to put the Angel Soul Seal among the selection items?!"

This was no ordinary object. It symbolized the Angel Clan and Spirit Hall's core authority. Its symbolic significance far surpassed that of the Pope Token.

There was even a saying in Spirit Hall: whoever possessed the Angel Soul Seal could command Spirit Hall's forces across the entire continent, point their sword at the heavens, and reign supreme as king and overlord.

Guang Ling sighed. "This was among the items at your first-birthday selection eighteen years ago, too. Back then, everyone did their utmost to urge you to grab it, but you didn't."

Qian Renxue stared blankly. "What did I grab?"

Guang Ling didn't answer. He continued showing Lin Luo the sample in his hand.

"Luo'er, make sure you get a good look. You must grab this tomorrow. Your great-grandpa may not acknowledge you now, but if you grab this, he'll definitely see you differently."

"Your great-grandpa likes people with ambition. Your mother didn't grab it back then, so maybe he really has pinned some hope on you this time."

At that point, Guang Ling couldn't help but sigh silently.

First, he felt helpless about Qian Daoliu's stubbornness. Second, he felt helpless that he was actually having to tell all this to a child who was only a little over three months old.

Lin Luo looked unconcerned on the surface, but silently committed the Angel Soul Seal's appearance to memory.

Of the people in Spirit Hall who genuinely had his interests at heart, Guang Ling was definitely one.

At times, in Lin Luo's heart, Guang Ling was his real great-grandpa.

"Grab~"

Lin Luo spoke in his baby voice, pointing at the Angel Soul Seal.

"Ah," Guang Ling said with a smile. "That's right! Grab it!"

He put the sample on the table and let Lin Luo play with it, then looked at the narcissus jade muscle bone in the vase.

Guang Ling frowned. "Xue'er, why haven't you taken it yet?"

Qian Renxue spoke with some embarrassment. "I... forgot."

If I'd known, I wouldn't have put it somewhere so obvious... Qian Renxue stuck out her tongue awkwardly.

"I told you, one for you and one for Luo'er. Why won't you listen? Luo'er is so young. Do you think he can withstand the power of two immortal herbs?"

Qian Renxue lowered her head and said softly, "I could just find a way to keep them longer. These two immortal herbs should be able to help him a lot in the future. After all... I can't stay by his side forever."

Lin Luo listened quietly, and many feelings suddenly welled up in his heart.

In this life, so many people loved him silently. It was wonderful.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course you can stay by his side forever."

"But... won't he have to marry and have children?"

"What, are you worried you won't get along with your daughter-in-law? Enough nonsense. Take it now. I'll watch you."

Guang Ling was utterly serious. He brought the narcissus jade muscle bone right in front of Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue smiled helplessly. In front of Guang Ling, she broke off the stem and leaves and put them in her mouth.

Immediately afterward, her body was enveloped in a pearly white light.

Xiao Hong stared blankly, not understanding what was happening. The little fox anxiously spun in circles on the spot, crying, "Awoo, awoo, awoo~," then quickly jumped onto the table and burrowed into Lin Luo's arms.

Guang Ling said, "That's normal. Xue'er, sit down and circulate your Soul Power to speed up digestion."

"Mm."

Qian Renxue did as he said, the pearly white light around her body flickering rhythmically.

Guang Ling stood guard at her side with a serious expression.

The baby and the fox watched from the side with round eyes.

The entire digestion process lasted until night fell. Lin Luo fell asleep on the table with Xiao Hong in his arms, drooling all over the little fox's head.

"Phew-"

Qian Renxue suddenly opened her eyes, excitement showing on her face.

"I'm level sixty!"

she said joyfully.

Guang Ling nodded. "According to Elder Ju, after you obtain your Sixth Soul Ring, your Soul Power should rise another few levels."

"I can't wait!"

The excitement on Qian Renxue's face was impossible to fake.

Lin Luo rubbed his eyes and woke up. "Mama~"

"Mama made a breakthrough! Thank you, baby~ Mwah!"

Qian Renxue happily picked Lin Luo up and planted a seal of love right on his cheek.

Lin Luo was faint with hunger and instinctively reached for Qian Renxue's breast. Seeing this, Qian Renxue looked back with a playful smile. "Sorry, Fifth Grandpa, time to see you out. I have to nurse the baby~"

"Tch, I've been guarding you all this time, and you don't even say thank you!"

Guang Ling grumbled and cursed as he walked out the door.

Qian Renxue sat at the table nursing Lin Luo. When she saw the little fox on the floor crying "Awoo, awoo," she guessed it was hungry too, so she tossed down some pastries from the table.

Sure enough, the little fox excitedly began eating in great mouthfuls.

The next day.

Qian Renxue got up early to wash and dress herself.

The first-birthday selection ceremony was about to begin.
