Facing Qian Renxue's gaze, Qian Xunji simply assumed she was awed by his strength.
He straightened his back proudly, carrying Qian Renjue in his arms.
With a smile, he reached out to gently stroke Qian Renxue's hair and praised her:
"Xiao Xue is amazing too."
"Yes, sister is just as amazing as I am!" Qian Renjue enthusiastically nodded, not forgetting to praise himself as well.
Seeing the father and son, both a bit full of themselves, Qian Renxue couldn't help but roll her eyes and suppress a laugh.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo congratulated in unison.
They were fully aware that at just six years old, both Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue were already rank 26 Spirit Masters with dual purple spirit rings—an unprecedented feat!
This meant that as long as the siblings did not perish, the Spirit Hall could flourish for at least another few hundred years, enough to see them through their old age.
"Alright, enough of the formalities. I'd rather see you all in action," Qian Xunji laughed as he bent down to place Qian Renjue on the ground.
He genuinely felt proud of his children but had deeper thoughts.
Perhaps what the old man had hoped for might one day be realized by his daughter.
"We understand, Your Majesty!" Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo straightened up and exchanged glances, their eyes shifting toward the siblings.
Qian Renjue, clutching Qian Renxue's arm, curiously asked, "Sister, what's your soul skill?"
Although soul skills are typically kept secret, in this setting, Qian Renxue saw no need to hide it from her brother's eager curiosity.
"I'll show you."
"Alright!" Qian Renjue eagerly stepped back a few paces.
Under the watchful eyes of Qian Xunji and the others, Qian Renxue's six-winged angel spirit appeared behind her, with two purple soul rings circling beneath her feet.
Once her spirit was activated, her posture became more imposing.
Her figure grew taller, radiating golden light, exuding both majesty and holiness, with three pairs of golden wings fluttering behind her.
With a slight flap of her wings, she soared into the forest.
Her first soul ring lit up, and with a punch, a golden beam shot forth, toppling a tree as thick as Qian Renjue's body.
Qian Renxue's two soul skills were both related to close combat and defense.
The first skill, Angel Strike, was a close-combat move that combined an offensive punch with a defensive shield.
It had the ability to purify and dissolve, making it both offensive and defensive.
The second skill, Wings of Void (as seen in the comic), increased her speed by 20%, granting full immunity to physical attacks and 50% immunity to energy attacks.
In the forest, her second soul ring lit up, and her body shimmered with golden light, making her appear slightly ethereal as she passed effortlessly through trees and plants.
Nothing could hinder her movement.
Watching Qian Renxue in the air, Qian Renjue's eyes gleamed with admiration, but his thoughts soon shifted to himself.
Unlike before, he was now healthy, able to run, jump—and fly!
The thought excited him even more.
Once the demonstration was over, Qian Renxue gracefully landed before Qian Renjue and withdrew her spirit.
She smiled, feeling satisfied with her growing strength.
"Sister, your soul skills are amazing!" Qian Renjue couldn't help but exclaim.
Qian Xunji also nodded, especially impressed by her second soul skill.
"Haha," Qian Renxue laughed as she playfully pinched Qian Renjue's cheek. "I'm sure your soul skills are just as great."
"Mhm!" Qian Renjue eagerly nodded, excited to share. "My first soul skill is Dark Ray, a long-range attack with a strong corrosive effect."
"My second soul skill is Nether Bind, a group control ability with the traits of devouring and chilling."
After sharing this, his lively purple eyes twinkled as he looked at Qian Renxue and Qian Xunji, eager to summon his spirit.
"Sister, Dad, I'll show you too!"
"No!" Qian Renxue's smile froze, and she immediately refused.
She didn't want to see her brother's cold and distant appearance again; it unsettled her deeply. Furrowing her brow, she asked, "Didn't you promise me something?"
"I didn't forget," Qian Renjue waved dismissively, suppressing the dark light from emerging behind him.
He glanced at Qian Xunji, who gave him an apologetic look, then dejectedly lowered his head.
"As long as you remember. Don't use your spirit unless absolutely necessary," Qian Renxue softly stroked his head, gently comforting him while correcting her earlier demands.
Watching from the side, Qian Xunji smiled and also reassured him, "Haha, Xiao Jue, your sister is right. It's for your own good."
"Got it," Qian Renjue nodded firmly, though deep inside, he still had a lingering urge to try out his abilities.
"Alright, it's time we head back," Qian Xunji smiled as he picked up his two children, who had both grown stronger after absorbing their soul rings.
"Yay! When we get back, I want to visit Mom," Qian Renjue hugged Qian Xunji's neck, already cheerful again after his earlier disappointment.
Qian Xunji paused for a moment as old thoughts resurfaced. Smiling, he replied, "How about I take you both to see her?"
"Sure!" Qian Renjue agreed without hesitation, while Qian Renxue felt a pang of worry.
She vividly remembered that Bibi Dong's deep resentment toward Qian Xunji had not faded.
His visit would likely stir conflict, but she said nothing.
She knew this was Qian Xunji's attempt, and she also held onto a faint hope.
But the outcome was far from what they wished for.
...
At Bibi Dong's residence on the mountainside of Spirit City, as soon as Qian Xunji and the children stepped inside the courtyard, an intense killing intent erupted.
Following it was Bibi Dong's hysterical scream, almost losing control as her Slaughter God Domain nearly activated.
"Get out! Get—out!"
"Dong'er, don't be upset. I insisted on bringing the children here," Qian Xunji chuckled, as though he had expected this, and gently placed the children down.
"Dad..." Qian Renjue looked at him, worried.
"Haha, Xiao Jue, I'm fine. You and your sister stay and play," Qian Xunji smiled, shaking his head as he left the courtyard.
"Mom..." Qian Renjue cautiously looked at the twisted expression on Bibi Dong's face.
"Jue, from today, Mom has 3 rules you must obey."
...
Walking along the path to the Pope's Palace, Qian Xunji moved with a light step, a serene smile on his face.
This outcome confirmed that his earlier decision had been correct.
Looking up at the scorching sun, there was a hint of reluctance on his face.
Though not fully satisfied, it was time to make preparations for the next leader.
"Once Dong'er deals with her killing intent, I'll let her take over everything," Qian Xunji muttered with a smile as he stretched.
Reflecting, he couldn't help but admit, "I really am a beast, feeling not an ounce of remorse."
