Between Qian Renxue and Qian Renshang, Qian Xunji actually preferred the latter.
It wasn't that he favored boys over girls!
It was simply because that child's character was truly exceptional—strong, brave, and kind—practically the inheritor of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul!
Moreover, after being severely injured by Tang Hao these past few days, he suddenly recalled something:
Qian Renshang seemed to have subtly hinted at this issue, as if he knew about it.
This surprised Qian Xunji even more. Qian Renshang might hold a great secret; he was incredibly astonished!
Perhaps he could change the fate of their Qian family.
"Let me see Xiaoshang…this is my only wish."
Qian Xunji looked at Bibi Dong pleadingly, but Bibi Dong turned her head away, unable to meet his gaze.
After a long silence, Bibi Dong finally spoke through gritted teeth.
"It's not that I won't let you see that child... because he's gone!"
"Gone? What do you mean?"
Qian Xunji was confused. Bibi Dong, her expression grim, finally couldn't withstand Qian Xunji's dying questioning and told the truth.
"He's gone... he left the Spirit Hall, and left a letter before he left."
"The letter?"
Qian Xunji asked urgently, his eyes red.
Bibi Dong's eyes darted away as she casually tossed the letter over.
It turned out she had been carrying the letter with her.
Qian Xunji hurriedly opened the letter and began to read.
After reading the entire contents, Qian Xunji froze on the spot.
His expression was filled with disbelief and despair.
He pointed at Bibi Dong, each word dripping with blood.
"Bibi Dong!!!"
"What are you doing?
Qian Renshang is such a good child, why did you force him away?
He's your child! You're his mother!!"
"Even if you have any resentment, can't you express it to me, Qian Xunji? Why make things difficult for a child!"
For the first time, Qian Xunji felt a deep anger towards Bibi Dong.
She had gone too far!
"What did I do wrong? It's just that he couldn't handle it... I didn't do anything at all."
Bibi Dong argued, her eyes darting away, which enraged Qian Xunji.
"You'll regret it... You'll definitely regret it!"
"Bibi Dong... driving away Qian Renshang will be the most regrettable thing you've ever done in your life!"
Seeing Qian Xunji accuse her like this, Bibi Dong broke down completely.
She laughed in anger!
"Regret? I, Bibi Dong, will never regret it in this life! That child is gone, so be it... I won't miss him at all."
"It's better that he's gone. You are the source of evil... He is the continuation of evil."
Bibi Dong's pretty face was contorted with rage, her purple hair flying wildly.
"I, Bibi Dong, am not wrong... I can never be wrong in this life, Qian Xunji... Just you wait, after you die, I will completely control the Spirit Hall, and I, Bibi Dong, will be so powerful that everyone will look up to me."
"No one can control my life anymore!"
Bibi Dong practically roared the last sentence.
"You...cough cough..."
Qian Xunji pointed at Bibi Dong's contorted face and began to cough violently. He had a thousand words to say, but he had no strength left.
Thud!
Qian Xunji collapsed weakly onto the bed, his eyes fixed on Bibi Dong.
He died with his eyes wide open!
The Pope of the Spirit Hall, a peerless genius, had fallen!
"Haha...you're dead, you're finally dead! I've avenged myself, haha..."
"I won't regret it, I'll never regret it in this lifetime..."
Bibi Dong covered her face and laughed maniacally, but tears instantly dripped through her fingers.
"I've already avenged myself...why don't I feel any joy?"
Bibi Dong stood at the head of Qian Xunji's bed, clutching her chest, feeling a sharp pain in her heart. What was she doing?
This night was destined to change history!
...
...
On the other side!
Star Dou Great Forest!
A ragged little boy staggered along, his face sallow and thin, looking quite unwell.
"I'm so hungry... I've eaten so much, why am I still so hungry?"
Qian Renshang clutched his stomach, feeling uncomfortable.
He didn't know why, but ever since awakening his Golden Dragon King bloodline, he always felt incredibly hungry.
Everything he ate was digested quickly, and then he'd be hungry again in no time.
The spiritual fruits given to him by the Purple-Striped Python were long gone.
Qian Renshang had tried to find something else to eat along the way, but it was incredibly difficult; most spiritual fruits containing powerful life force were protected by powerful soul beasts.
Qian Renshang was only three years old.
Although he possessed the powerful Golden Dragon King bloodline, he was already at his limit against some hundred-year-old soul beasts; encountering a thousand-year-old soul beast would be fatal.
Just then!
A tremendous roar came from behind. Qian Renshang turned around and was instantly stunned.
This was a powerful, fully grown soul beast, with long, slender limbs resembling a baboon, and its cultivation level appeared to be close to a thousand years.
"Am I being targeted by this soul beast?"
Qian Renshang's expression was somewhat grim.
Although he knew how to navigate the Star Dou Great Forest, he knew he would inevitably encounter a powerful soul beast sooner or later.
Qian Renshang also wanted to settle peacefully on the outermost edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, but he was too hungry and had to come out to find food.
Roar!
The thousand-year-old wind baboon charged directly at Qian Renshang with incredible speed, throwing a punch.
Qian Renshang quickly dodged.
Bang!
The stone beneath Qian Renshang's feet shattered, and his pupils contracted slightly.
"Such immense power!"
Qian Renshang had fought many soul beasts during this time, and he didn't flinch at this one that had taken the initiative to attack.
He turned and threw a punch directly at it!
The small fist looked weak, but it sent ripples through the wind baboon, causing it to cry out in pain, its eyes growing even fiercer!
Buzz! Buzz!
It continued its attack on Qian Renshang, punch after punch, forcing him to dodge and search for an opportunity to retaliate.
"No... I'm too hungry, I feel like I have no strength left."
Qian Renshang's expression suddenly turned grim, because he realized he had no strength left; he was truly starving.
Not only that, he also heard rustling sounds ahead, and pairs of blood-red eyes were terrifying.
Qian Renshang stared intently, stunned, for these were also wind baboons.
A troop of wind baboons?
These wind baboons seemed intent on surrounding him, completely encircling him.
"Heh... Am I going to die here?"
Qian Renshang gave a bitter laugh. Three of these wind baboons were thousands of years old, and the rest were only a hundred years old.
He seemed to be truly trapped in a desperate situation.
At this moment, Qian Renshang felt his heart pounding, his blood seemingly boiling, and an unprecedented sense of excitement surged through him.
His eyes gradually changed, a golden hue appearing, growing brighter and brighter until his entire eye was a dazzling gold.
Within this gold, a faint vertical line was visible, making his eyes appear like those of a feline, filled with majesty and mystery.
"Fight!"
Qian Renshang never flinched; even if he were to die, he hoped it would be in battle.
Qian Renshang charged directly towards the horde of beasts!
