Chapter 187: The Fourth Trial Completed
Ning Bei's words instantly woke up Qian Renxue, and she quickly turned her head to check the status of her grandfathers.
"Bad guy, hurry and help grandpa!"
"Now you're in a rush? Just a moment ago you were showing off!"
"Ugh, you're so annoying, go help them quickly!"
The little angel, embarrassed and angry, pinched Ning Bei's waist a few times and hurriedly urged him.
Ning Bei shook his head and shot Qian Renxue a glance. He didn't say anything more and moved over to the Golden Crocodile Douluo, releasing the ice binding on him.
As soon as Golden Crocodile was freed, he exhaled a long icy mist, shivering slightly before looking at Ning Bei with a complex expression.
"Young man, you're truly a force to be reckoned with!"
Qian Daoliu approached his old brother, checking his condition, and then sighed in relief.
Next, Ning Bei released the bindings on the others one by one. After they were freed, their expressions were just as complex as Golden Crocodile's.
"Masters, take these pills. They'll help with the frostbite inside your bodies!"
Ignoring the gazes of the elders, Ning Bei took out several Grade 5 Recovery Pills and threw them to them.
The elders didn't hesitate and immediately swallowed the pills. If Ning Bei wanted to harm them, he would've done so earlier; there was no need for him to offer them pills now.
After they swallowed the pills, the external injuries and internal frostbite slowly began to heal. Ning Bei then moved to Guang Ling Douluo's side and took out a Grade 6 Yin-Yang Life Soul Pill, handing it to him.
Guang Ling's injuries were more severe than the others, so Ning Bei gave him a higher-grade pill for assurance.
Less than half a minute after taking the pill, Guang Ling was revived, looking as lively as ever.
"You really surprised me, kid. I've agreed to your relationship with Xue'er."
Guang Ling's words were echoed by the other elders. To be able to defeat these old guys, no one would be more suitable to be Xue'er's husband than him.
Qian Renxue clenched her fists in happiness and then glanced at Ning Bei with a slight blush.
Ning Bei sensed this and turned his head to look at her, winking as if to say:
"See? I told you it would be easy."
The little angel proudly lifted her chin, as if replying to Ning Bei's teasing: "Your great power still depends on me, doesn't it?"
Ning Bei laughed and shook his head, not continuing the teasing. Just as he was about to be modest, a familiar voice echoed in his mind.
"Fourth Trial of the Ice God: Defeat the 98th-level Title Douluo Golden Crocodile. Current completion: 3/6."
"Fourth Trial of the Ice God: Defeat the 97th-level Title Douluo Qing Luan. Current completion: 4/6."
"Fourth Trial of the Ice God: Defeat the 97th-level Title Douluo Fierce Lion. Current completion: 5/6."
"Fourth Trial of the Ice God: Defeat the 96th-level Title Douluo Guang Ling. Current completion: 6/6."
"Fourth Trial of the Ice God: Defeat the 96th-level Title Douluo Qian Jun. Current completion: 7/6."
"Fourth Trial of the Ice God: Defeat the 96th-level Title Douluo Jiang Mo. Current completion: 8/6."
"Due to the tester exceeding the task requirements, the reward is as follows: Ice God affinity increased by 10%, soul bone age increased by 50,000 years, soul ring age increased by 50,000 years, and one divine soul ring granted."
Upon hearing this long list of notifications in his mind, Ning Bei's heart soared. It seemed that the fusion technique with the little angel really counted as his own strength.
Moreover, the rewards for this trial were incredibly generous.
Including the divine soul ring he received last time, Ning Bei now had two unused divine soul rings. Once he absorbed them, his strength would increase significantly, and reaching level 98 was no longer a problem.
As for level 99, Ning Bei felt uncertain, but there was no need to rush. There were still five more trials from the Ice God, and he had two more soul ring slots. There was no need to panic.
The little angel, seeing Ning Bei suddenly lost in thought, quickly shook his arm, worried.
"Hey, bad guy, are you hurt?"
Ning Bei, now awake, gave the little angel a reassuring smile.
"I'm not hurt."
"I completed the trial, and I exceeded expectations."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's eyes lit up, and she happily shouted,
"Really? Our fusion technique can count as your strength? That's awesome!"
The little angel was so happy to have helped Ning Bei complete the trial. This meant she wasn't just a flower vase beside him.
The elders, overhearing their conversation, felt even more envious. After all these years, they were outdone by two kids. They felt they had no face to face the elders of the Spirit Hall.
"Masters, thank you for helping me complete the trial!"
Knowing it was time to be clever, Ning Bei walked to the elders and gave them a respectful bow. After all, they were the little angel's family, and respect was necessary.
Sure enough, seeing Ning Bei showing them respect, the elders' expressions softened, and the dissatisfaction in their hearts slowly faded.
Their thoughts began to shift. Seeing their granddaughter's husband with divine potential made them look at him with much warmer eyes.
"Bei'er, can I call you that?"
Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's question, Ning Bei quickly nodded. This was the real grandfather of the little angel.
Qian Daoliu nodded in satisfaction and then said,
"Let's head back to the Angel God Temple!"
The group gathered around Ning Bei, and with a flash of light, they returned to the Angel God Temple.
Qian Daoliu, stroking his beard, smiled as he looked at the two of them for a moment before speaking:
"I approve of your relationship with Xue'er."
"Thank you, Grandpa Qian, and thank you to all the other grandfathers. If you ever need my help, don't hesitate to ask."
Ning Bei quickly changed his way of addressing them, causing the elders to shake their heads and laugh.
The little angel didn't speak, but blushed and fiddled with her skirt.
After a glance at his granddaughter, Qian Daoliu sighed.
"Xue'er will still need to stay undercover in Tiandou City. Take good care of her; that's your base from now on."
"Don't worry, Grandpa Qian. Anyone who dares to harm a hair on Xue'er will have their bones ground to dust. Even if a god comes, it's the same!"
Thinking of the Rakshasa God who might interfere with the Angel God's trials in the future, Ning Bei's gaze turned cold, and the surrounding cold aura made the elders instinctively step back.
The elders looked at him curiously, wondering why he radiated such murderous intent when talking about gods.
Only Qian Daoliu, who knew some of the backstory, nodded in relief.
"Then I can rest easy leaving Xue'er in your care."
"You must have something to do with the Elite Soul Master Tournament in Soul Land, right?"
"Yes, my younger sister is in the second team of the Royal Fight."
"Alright, then go ahead. Xue'er hasn't been home in a while. Let her spend time with us old men, and I'm sure you wouldn't mind, would you?"
The teasing words made Ning Bei awkwardly smile and agree.
The little angel stomped her foot in annoyance beside him. "What's with these old men? Do I need the bad guy's permission to spend some time at home? Why does it seem like I'm clinging to him?"
