After finishing breakfast.
Qian Renjue led the Soft-Boned Rabbit, bringing Hu Liena and the Blue Silver Emperor toward the Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong had already agreed to this outing.
Qian Renjue came over only to take Lingyuan Douluo along and to inform Bibi Dong.
"Nana, when you're outside, listen well to your senior brother,"Bibi Dong said, seated high upon the dais, reminding Hu Liena.
"Rest assured, Teacher. Nana will,"Hu Liena knelt on one knee, incomparably respectful.
Bibi Dong gave a slight nod.
She then turned her head to look at Qian Renjue, who had come to her side, and smiled.
"As for you, you little rascal, listen to Lingyuan a bit more."
"Mhm. Mom should also take care of herself."
Qian Renjue nodded.
He took out a porcelain bottle emitting cold air from the system space and handed it to Bibi Dong.
"These are three Spirit-Awakening Pills."
"Alright. Don't stay out playing for too long."
Bibi Dong chuckled lightly, raising her hand to gently stroke Qian Renjue's cheek.
...
The wheels rumbled onward.
Lingyuan Douluo flicked the reins and drove the carriage out through the gates of Spirit City.
Inside the carriage, senior brother and junior sister sat facing each other.
The Soft-Boned Rabbit lay on Qian Renjue's shoulder, while the Blue Silver Emperor was held in Hu Liena's arms, a smile on her face.
This was her first time traveling together with Qian Renjue.
"Your Highness, why aren't we going to the Sunset Forest?"
Lingyuan Douluo's voice drifted in with the wind.
If they were only hunting a soul beast close to ten thousand years, the Sunset Forest would be more than sufficient.
It was also very close to Heaven Dou Imperial City.
Qian Renjue leaned back, eyes closed, resting.
"This trip to the Star Dou Forest involves other matters as well."
"..."
After receiving the reply, Lingyuan Douluo said nothing more.
"Other matters?"
Hu Liena hugged the flowerpot, looking at Qian Renjue, curiosity hard to hide in her eyes.
But since Qian Renjue didn't say anything, she didn't ask further.
...
The specially made carriage wasn't very bumpy.
But as time passed, it still made one uncomfortable and fatigued.
"Senior brother, Nana is sleepy."
At some point, Hu Liena had moved to sit beside Qian Renjue.
Her brows and eyes indeed carried an inescapable drowsiness.
"If you're sleepy, rest for a while. I'll wake you when it's time."
Qian Renjue rubbed Hu Liena's soft hair.
"Okay."
Hu Liena put down the Blue Silver Emperor's flowerpot.
She lifted her legs and lay sideways, carefully resting her head on Qian Renjue's thigh.
Qian Renjue opened his eyes and looked down.
His warm palm reached out, covering Hu Liena's neat hair.
"S-senior brother…"
Hu Liena hurriedly closed her eyes, shrinking her neck in fear.
The imagined rejection didn't come.
Qian Renjue simply held her head and gently stroked and patted it.
"Lean closer to the carriage wall so you don't roll off."
"Mhm! Thank you, senior brother!"
Hu Liena was delighted.
She snuggled closer toward Qian Renjue's abdomen, closed her beautiful eyes, and became quiet.
Qian Renjue lightly brushed her delicate cheek with his fingers.
This junior sister of convenience—he'd practically watched her grow up, hadn't he?
Sometimes…
Her sense of boundaries was getting weaker and weaker.
"Heh."
Qian Renjue chuckled softly.
He then instructed Lingyuan Douluo outside.
"Sister Lingyuan, we can stop to rest for a bit tonight."
"Yes, understood."
Lingyuan's brisk voice responded.
Hu Liena gently hugged Qian Renjue.
At some point, she had already bitten onto her pacifier.
For all these years, she slept like this every day.
Qian Renjue was long used to it.
He'd told her to stop before, but she never changed; if he took it away, she couldn't sleep.
He wondered whether, after becoming someone's wife in the future,
she'd still sleep with a pacifier in her mouth—or perhaps with something else instead.
"Gugu!"
The Soft-Boned Rabbit called softly, squeezing closer toward Qian Renjue's neck.
With the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud,
camping outside posed no real danger to personal safety.
Two days passed.
Qian Renjue could feel the air growing much more humid.
Near a frontier town, Qian Renjue put away the carriage and led the two women inside.
Lingyuan Douluo vigilantly scanned the surroundings.
"Your Highness, are we stopping here to rest?"
"No need to stay long. Eat lunch, digest a bit, then set out to hunt soul beasts."
Qian Renjue held Hu Liena's small hand.
Looking at the surroundings, most of the shops catered to soul masters.
"Yes."
Lingyuan Douluo replied respectfully.
She stayed close to Qian Renjue's side.
Hu Liena, like a curious baby, hugged Qian Renjue's arm and looked around everywhere.
Qian Renjue observed the coming and going soul masters.
Suddenly, he asked,
"Sister Lingyuan, does the Spirit Hall have branch halls set up in places like this?"
Lingyuan Douluo shook her head.
"Your Highness, the soul beasts here are actually quite unruly. If a branch hall were built here, rebuilding it occasionally wouldn't be the main issue—the key problem is personnel losses."
"I see."
Qian Renjue nodded slightly, pondering.
Then he proposed,
"Fixed strongholds are indeed easy to destroy. But we could station ourselves outside the town in the form of a trade guild."
"A trade guild?"
Lingyuan Douluo raised her slender brows.
She wasn't particularly skilled in these matters, but it did seem feasible.
High mobility, effectively avoiding reconstruction issues.
"Yes, a trade guild. Don't we have quite a few pills that restore soul power and the like?"
Qian Renjue smiled.
Lingyuan Douluo's eyes lit up!
In a place like this, full of soul masters and all sorts of people,
what could make money faster than those low-cost pills?
Understanding the key point, Lingyuan Douluo couldn't help but praise him.
"Your Highness is wise!"
Hu Liena's eyes sparkled as well.
"Senior brother is so smart!"
"Stop!"
Qian Renjue raised his hand, signaling the two women to quiet down, and said irritably,
"I'm just making a suggestion. We'll talk about it after we get back."
"Let's go. That shop over there."
Qian Renjue raised his hand and pointed to the tallest tavern ahead, saying no more.
The combination of a rabbit and a flowerpot was somewhat strange.
But Qian Renjue's and Lingyuan's appearances made people overlook those details.
Lingyuan's imposing aura kept others from daring to stare.
As for Qian Renjue, he attracted quite a few female soul masters' gazes.
Hu Liena hugged him tightly.
The Soft-Boned Rabbit also very cooperatively bared its claws and teeth.
...
After finishing the meal,
Qian Renjue walked out of the town. After lightly digesting, they continued toward the forest.
They were getting closer and closer to the Star Dou Great Forest.
The most excited person was naturally Hu Liena, who was about to obtain her fourth soul ring.
She was full of anticipation for her fourth soul skill.
At times like this,
she could already sense that her soul skills seemed to be growing more effective.
Or rather, her body itself seemed more charming.
When she pressed against her senior brother,
his body was noticeably hotter than before.
As long as she became a bit more full and graceful, with more soul skills to support it, working on both fronts, she'd definitely be able to enchant her senior brother.
The Soft-Boned Rabbit became much more lively after approaching its homeland, the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Blue Silver Emperor in Hu Liena's arms also couldn't help but sway and bloom.
The Star Dou Great Forest—
one of the three major wild soul beast gathering places on the continent.
Its dense canopy blotted out the sky, like a boundless green ocean.
From afar,
one could already feel waves of pure air blowing toward them, refreshing the spirit and clearing the mind.
Wishing everyone a pleasant life!
