Chapter 239: 235. Again?
Clang!
Qian Renjue's blood-red eyes were filled with coldness, and the black sword in his hand exuded a chilling aura.
Frost seemed to fall from the sky as he continuously attacked Qian Renxue—stabbing, slashing, chopping, hacking!
Sparks flew as their weapons clashed.
Facing Qian Renjue's fierce and relentless attacks, Qian Renxue had no choice but to take him seriously.
"Third soul skill: Angelic Feather Blades!"
With a delicate shout, Qian Renxue's six wings behind her glowed with golden light, sending out six sharp blades aimed at Qian Renjue.
The sound of metal clashing rang out endlessly.
Her sacred sword released waves of scorching energy, accompanied by the feather blades, making Qian Renjue flustered for a moment.
Ghostly Chains!
Qian Renjue retreated while fighting, and the second soul ring beneath his feet lit up.
With a clang, spiked black chains emerged from behind him, reaching out like an octopus to grab Qian Renxue.
Swish!
Qian Renxue flapped her six wings and quickly dodged.
"First soul skill: Dark Beam!"
Qian Renjue's right hand turned black as he fired black beams of light at Qian Renxue in rapid succession.
When it came to long-range attacks, he definitely had the upper hand.
"Watch me shoot you down!"
"Oh, really? You'll need to be faster than that, or else you won't hit me, little brother," Qian Renxue teased as she glided gracefully through the sky.
The black beams couldn't escape her [Eye of Insight].
"Fourth soul skill: Angelic Protection!"
A golden shield appeared around her, cleansing negative statuses and providing healing effects.
It also reduced the soul power cost of her first three soul skills by 50% for half an hour.
The black beams hit the shield, causing only ripples on its surface.
Sigh.
Watching the siblings battle, Qian Daoliu sighed inwardly.
Qian Renxue's cultivation had improved faster than he'd expected. He felt he didn't have much time left.
But he wasn't afraid—his lifelong pursuit was to restore the glory of the Angelic God.
It just seemed a pity that he probably wouldn't get to hold his great-grandchild.
While Qian Daoliu was lost in thought, the figures in the sky disappeared, and Glowing Feather Douluo's voice expressed his disappointment.
"Tsk, tsk. Xiao Xue, how did you end up in a draw with Xiao Jue?"
Qian Renxue shot Qian Renjue a resentful look and pouted. "I didn't expect him to grab me and stab us both through together."
"Haha! But I didn't lose!" Qian Renjue removed his wristband with a smug expression.
"What's with that smirk? Is washing your sister's clothes that humiliating?" Qian Renxue flicked his forehead, her beautiful eyes full of mock annoyance.
Qian Renjue scratched his head sheepishly. "Not really, but it's kinda embarrassing since it's, well... personal stuff... Oh, sister!"
"Alright, alright! Enough!" Before Qian Renjue could finish, Qian Renxue swiftly raised her hand to cover his mouth, her face flushed.
Her eyes darted around, glancing at the nearby elders in embarrassment.
"And don't think I don't know you sneakily got Nana and Ling Yuan to help you wash them," Qian Renxue added with a huff.
"Heh," Qian Renjue laughed awkwardly.
The elders watched the sibling banter, shaking their heads with smiles, not thinking too much about it.
"Golden Crocodile, you can go now," Qian Daoliu said.
"Understood, big brother."
Qian Daoliu then turned to the siblings and called them over. "Xiao Xue, Xiao Jue, come with Grandpa."
"Yes, Grandpa! Uh—"
As Qian Renjue responded, Qian Renxue locked her arm around his neck, dragging him along toward Qian Daoliu.
"Grandpa, Xiao Xue is coming."
"Sis, slow down! I can't walk like this."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Hmph! Let's see if you dare talk nonsense again."
"Ugh, sis, it hurts."
"Then loosen up a little..."
"Alright, there. How's that?"
"…"
Hearing the commotion behind him, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but shake his head.
How could these two become so childish when together?
Cough, cough.
As they approached the radiant gates of the Angel Temple, Qian Daoliu cleared his throat.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately let go of Qian Renjue.
Still confused, Qian Renjue clung to her waist.
"Uh, sis? What's wrong?"
"Get up, we've reached the Angel Temple," Qian Renxue whispered.
"Oh!" Qian Renjue quickly released her and stood up straight, towering over her.
Inside the temple, where the statue of the Angel God was enshrined, Qian Daoliu sat cross-legged beneath it.
Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue sat across from him, their expressions solemn.
"Grandpa, is something the matter?" Qian Renxue asked softly.
"It's not anything too important," Qian Daoliu said with a kind smile, reminding her, "Xiao Xue, make sure you cultivate diligently. I'm already arranging your seventh soul ring."
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll work hard," Qian Renxue nodded earnestly.
"And…"
Qian Daoliu hesitated, a smile creeping across his face. "Haha, never mind. We'll talk about it once you've broken through to Soul Sage."
The siblings exchanged glances, both guessing that it had something to do with the Angelic God's trial.
"Xiao Jue," Qian Daoliu turned to Qian Renjue, with a probing look. "I heard the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan recently awakened her martial soul. She's a level nine innate soul power genius. Any thoughts on that?"
"Uh—"
Black lines appeared on Qian Renjue's forehead, while Qian Renxue's mouth twitched.
She's just a six-year-old child—how could he have any thoughts about her?
"Grandpa, why are you bringing her up again?" Qian Renjue scratched his face awkwardly, clearly uncomfortable.
Qian Daoliu chuckled. "Heh, wasn't it Xiao Xue who suggested we form alliances where we can?"
"…"
Qian Renxue opened her mouth, but no words came out.
She wasn't suggesting her brother sacrifice himself for political gain.
With an awkward laugh, she added, "Grandpa, she really isn't suitable."
"No one is born suitable," Qian Daoliu said indifferently. "It's just like with that girl from the Ye family. Xiao Jue didn't want anything to do with her at first, but now look how close they are."
"Grandpa, that's different. She's too young. How am I supposed to engage with her?" Qian Renjue protested.
"People grow up," Qian Daoliu said patiently. "And if it works out, the continent will be much more stable."
The alliance between the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan would indeed strengthen both their combat and economic forces.
"I understand the logic, Grandpa, but I really can't accept it," Qian Renjue sighed, his vision blurring.
As he thought about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
