Lingyuan Douluo, Guangling Douluo, and all the other enshrined figures present stared wide-eyed, their hearts filled with astonishment.
"yes."
Cai Wenji said innocently, completely unaware of the psychological impact her words had on these old men.
"Brother Qianyu said that you are Sister Xiaoxue's grandfather, which means you are his relative."
"That's why I'm determined to cure you."
"See? I did a great job on the mission, didn't I?"
Cai Wenji had an expression that said, "Praise me!"
Qian Daoliu took a deep breath, his eyes even turning slightly red.
He looked up at the enormous angel statue, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
"Qianyu..."
"Good boy, what a good boy."
"What exactly did that stupid woman, Bibi Dong, miss out on?!"
Qian Daoliu clenched his fists tightly, feeling even more guilty towards Qian Yu, while at the same time, his resentment towards Bibi Dong reached its peak.
Qianyu's magnanimity and composure are admirable.
This is the true demeanor of a king!
...
Tens of thousands of meters above the ground.
The clouds, like a white ocean, rolled and surged beneath my feet.
Dressed in pristine white, Qianyu stood with her hands behind her back on a cloud, calmly gazing at the continent below.
Beside him stood Qian Renxue, dressed in a golden palace gown. Her exquisite face appeared even more radiant in the sunlight, though her small face was filled with curiosity and a hint of dissatisfaction.
On the other side, Gongsun Li held an oil-paper umbrella and followed quietly, her gaze towards Qianyu filled with tenderness.
The three were on their way back to Wuhun City.
"Father."
Qian Renxue finally couldn't hold back any longer. She tugged at Qian Yu's sleeve, pouted, and asked:
"What exactly were you and Aunt Da Qiao talking about in the City Lord's Mansion last night?"
"When Aunt Qiao came out, her face was flushed. Did you two...?"
"..."
Although Qian Renxue admired her father, she still felt a little jealous.
Qianyu turned her head, looked at her daughter's inquisitive expression, and said calmly:
"Talking about Bibi Dong."
Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, and then her face, which had been carrying a hint of coquettishness, instantly turned cold.
"Bibi Dong?"
Why bring up that woman?
Qian Renxue's tone was filled with disgust and anger, completely devoid of her usual elegance.
"That ungrateful wretch!"
"In the Battle of Jialing Pass, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Martial Soul Empire fought valiantly, yet she, as the Empress, didn't think about how to repel the enemy!"
"People who betray their own people don't deserve to live!"
"!!!"
Qian Renxue grew angrier as she spoke, her chest heaving violently.
To her, Bibi Dong was not only an incompetent mother, but also a traitor.
Especially when she thought about how good her father had been to Bibi Dong, yet he was treated like that in return, she felt an urge to tear that woman apart with her own hands.
Qianyu reached out and gently patted Qianrenxue's shoulder, signaling her to calm down.
There was no further explanation.
There are some plans that Xiaoxue shouldn't know about yet.
Just then, the scene above the sky changed again, and huge characters caught the attention of the three of them.
"Ninth on the power rankings, the far north?"
Qian Renxue's attention was diverted, and she looked at the ranking in surprise.
"Father, where is this far north?"
"I've read a lot of the history of the mainland, how come I never knew there was such a powerful force?"
"I've never heard of that before..."
...
Although Qian Renxue was proud, she was also diligent and eager to learn, and naturally she was full of curiosity about things that were completely beyond her comprehension.
Qianyu looked at the sky with a calm expression, as if everything was within his expectations.
"The far north, at the northernmost edge of the Douluo Continent."
Qianyu's voice was calm and magnetic, as if she were telling an ancient story.
"That place is covered in ice and snow all year round. It is a forbidden zone for life, but also a paradise for soul beasts."
"There is no human scheming or infighting there, only the most primitive laws of survival."
"..."
Qianyu pointed to the two stunningly beautiful figures that appeared in the sky.
"Those are the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor, the true rulers of the far north."
"Although they are soul beasts, they are no less intelligent or emotional than humans."
At this point, Qianyu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile.
"Especially the Snow Empress, whose true form is the Ice and Snow Maiden, with 700,000 years of cultivation, has benefited from the creation of heaven and earth."
"Not only are they powerful, but they are also truly humane."
"As for figure and appearance..."
Qianyu paused for a moment, then commented:
"All of them are top-notch."
Qian Renxue listened to her father's evaluation, her mouth slightly open, and her eyes became somewhat strange.
"My father knows so much."
"They even know so much about other people's figures and appearances..."
Qian Renxue muttered something under her breath, secretly making a mental note of the Snow Emperor's actions.
It seems we'll have to be careful around this Lord of the Far North from now on.
However, Qian Renxue quickly thought of something and her eyes lit up.
"That's right, Father!"
"Tianmu previously stated that once the tenth and ninth place on the power rankings were revealed, the number one place on the martial spirit rankings would be revealed again."
"I wonder what kind of martial spirit the number one on the martial spirit ranking has?"
Qian Renxue looked at Qian Yu with curiosity in her eyes.
"Father, your twelve-winged angels are already so strong, yet you're only ranked second."
"Could the first place winner be the legendary Dragon God Martial Soul?"
"Or is it some kind of divine king weapon spirit that has never appeared in the world before?"
Qianyu didn't keep the question a secret.
He gazed at the churning sea of clouds ahead and said calmly:
"The number one item on the Martial Soul Ranking is a crystal."
"ha?"
Qian Renxue was stunned, wondering if she had misheard.
"crystal?"
"A mere crystal can make the list?"
"And he was number one?"
"???"
Qian Renxue's face was filled with disbelief.
What can crystals be used for?
Is it for decoration?
Even the hardest crystal, could it possibly be stronger than the Haotian Hammer?
Can it compare to a six-winged angel?
"Father, are you joking?"
Qianyu didn't explain further, but just smiled mysteriously.
"You'll find out soon enough whether it's a joke or not."
...
The far north, the core area.
This is a world of ice and snow, where the cold wind is like a knife, enough to tear apart the body of any intruder.
But the cave, formed by millennia-old icy marrow, was not as cold as one might imagine.
Two stunningly beautiful figures nestled together, gazing at the golden light refracting through the ice above them.
"Only ninth?"
A petite girl in a turquoise dress grumbled in dissatisfaction.
She had a head of bright green pigtails, skin as white as snow, and her bright, lively eyes were full of defiance.
It was none other than the Ice Emperor, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.
"Our far north is so powerful, and Sister Xue, you are a super ferocious beast that has been around for 700,000 years, yet you are only ranked ninth?"
"Is that canopy broken?"
