Chapter 180 The Divine Test Begins, What About You?
New Year.
A snow fell in the Spirit Hall.
Children happily built snowmen and had snowball fights in the streets.
A little imp, not watching where she was going, ran and laughed, bumping into someone with a thud.
"Oops~ Sorry."
The little girl scratched her head, blinking her innocent eyes at the very handsome older brother in front of her.
"It's okay." Jiang Nian smiled and helped her up.
"Eh? Are you His Highness the Holy Son?"
"Hmm? You know me."
"Of course! Who in the entire Spirit City doesn't know His Highness the Holy Son!"
Jiang Nian rubbed the snowflakes off the little girl's head, then magically produced a candy. The girl's eyes lit up instantly, and she crisply said thank you before accepting it.
Then, blinking her eyes, she watched the legendary Holy Son slowly walk away.
Beside him was a very pretty short-haired woman; they seemed to be a couple.
"Senior brother~ Why won't you let me hold your hand!" Hu Liena pouted, somewhat unhappy, and quickened her pace.
"What do you mean by 'holding hands'? What are you talking about?"
Jiang Nian asked doubtfully, his hands firmly inside his pockets.
Hu Liena snorted softly; she knew why, but she was just quite disappointed.
Outside, she could possess him freely, but back home, there seemed to be an invisible distance.
They couldn't be as intimate as they were outside.
Hu Liena lowered her eyes in disappointment, pouting and kicking at the snow on the roadside.
She deliberately got it on Jiang Nian's shoes, a small act of revenge.
They were supposed to come back more than a month ago, but she had begged many times before she finally got some time alone together.
But today, they had to come back.
Because Sister Xiaoxue was about to officially begin the Nine Trials of Angels.
Hu Liena, being sensible, knew that Jiang Nian no longer belonged to her, so she bid him farewell.
After a moment's hesitation, Hu Liena headed towards the Papal Palace.
She wanted to see what Bibi Dong was doing.
Having been gone for over three months, it seemed she couldn't cast illusions on her anymore.
Upon arriving at the Papal Palace entrance, she looked up, but the throne was empty.
"Hmm? He's not here..."
Hu Liena scratched her head, thinking she should first let her brother know she was safe.
She was used to calling Jiang Nian "brother," and suddenly felt a little reluctant to call him that anymore.
She felt it would be better to call him by his name from now on.
Yes, that's it.
In the Douluo Palace, Qian Renxue, who had knelt devoutly for 108 days, finally faced the divine trial she had longed for.
Before her, the holy sword in the hand of the six-winged angel statue emitted golden light, covering her entire body, and the temple echoed with the angel's blessing.
At this moment, a golden feather hovered above Qian Renxue's head, and nine golden rhombus-shaped marks slowly appeared on her forehead.
[The first of the Nine Trials of Angels: Tempering with the Holy Light of Angels.]
Qian Renxue opened her eyes and bowed devoutly to the statue.
"Little Xue, congratulations on starting the Nine Trials of Angels," Qian Daoliu said with a smile.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete all the trials within five years!"
The little golden-haired boy said proudly, then, remembering something, he quickly turned and ran away.
Qian Daoliu reached out his hand, looking at his hurried granddaughter, and sighed inwardly. She's really grown up; after three months apart, she can't wait to see him.
Qian Daoliu put his hands behind his back, looked at the angel statue in the Douluo Hall, and knelt down to pray devoutly.
Qian Renxue had just run out of the Douluo Hall when she saw the boy standing outside.
Her eyes lit up with joy, and she quickly rushed over to him.
"Hehe, Xiao Jiang, look how I've changed!"
Jiang Nian blinked, asking in confusion, "What's changed? Aren't you still as pretty as ever?"
The little golden-haired girl blushed, grumbling, "What? You're so glib..." "Look at my forehead."
Jiang Nian had actually noticed it long ago, but deliberately waited for her to speak first.
"It's very pretty. You must have started the Nine Trials of the Angels, right?"
"Of course! Who am I?!" Qian Renxue proudly raised her chin, looking at the boy she hadn't seen for so long, feeling an even stronger urge to be affectionate.
The girl pulled his wrist to find a secluded spot.
Arriving at the back mountain of the Spirit Hall Academy, the little golden-haired girl couldn't hold back any longer, standing on tiptoe to release all the longing she had held back.
Qian Renxue, having started the Divine Trials, was now even more sacred, her beauty almost too beautiful to be defiled.
Ten minutes later, the little golden-haired girl breathed heavily, her heart filled with sweetness.
"I thought I wouldn't see you after I came out."
"Um... actually, I went out for a while."
"Oh? Where did you go, and with whom?" Qian Renxue asked casually, her hands clasped together.
"The Heavenly Dou Empire, with Na'er."
"Na'er, um... um?!?" Qian Renxue's aura suddenly intensified, and she leaned close to him with a half-smile, saying, "Who? Say it again?"
Jiang Nian replied without changing his expression.
Little Golden Hair could easily find out what he had done outside.
It was better to be honest now.
Sincerity was the surest way to win him over. "Na'er? We're completely innocent. I went out to do something. What are you thinking?"
Jiang Nian said with a clear conscience. He wasn't lying; apart from being forced to hold hands by accident, he hadn't done anything else. Seeing his sincerity, Qian Renxue didn't say anything else.
In the past, this guy would definitely tell a "white lie."
Why was he being so blunt this time?
The little golden retriever nodded, somewhat satisfied.
However, it couldn't help but hum softly.
"You're not allowed to go out with her next time, understand?"
"Even if you have to go out, you have to get my permission first, otherwise you'll be in trouble!"
Jiang Nian hugged Qian Renxue's slender waist, resting his chin on her head: "Okay, I'll definitely listen to you."
"That's more like it~"
The girl's eyes crinkled with happiness. Today, not only was she officially taking the Divine Exam, but she also saw her beloved boy the moment she came out. This guy had even changed a little; he didn't lie anymore.
How could she not be happy?
"Sigh, it's a pity I have to take the Divine Exam. I'll have less and less time to spend with you in the future."
Qian Renxue cupped Jiang Nian's cheeks, looked at him again and again, and finally let go.
Then she counted on her fingers, her cheeks growing increasingly red.
She closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and took a heavy breath, not knowing what she was doing.
"Let's go! I'm so hungry right now, if we don't eat something you'll have to give me CPR."
Jiang Nian tapped her head: "You get all the good things."
"Hehehe~ Didn't you say that if someone faints, you need CPR?" Qian Renxue stuck out her little pink tongue and laughed, "What? You're disgusted with me? Or do you have another woman outside?"
Jiang Nian grabbed her ear and took the girl to the Holy Son's Palace.
What woman? Not even a sisterly lover.
"Hmph~ You're not saying anything again... Anyway, I'll find out sooner or later."
"You'd better not regret it then, Xiao Jiang!"
