#76 - Bloody divine power, pink giant cocoon
After bidding farewell to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo,
Qian Renjue, carrying the flower pot, and Qian Renxue set off on their journey home together.
“Jue, what is the use of this flower?”
Qian Renxue looked curiously at the plant in the flower pot.
The leaves were pale and slender, the roots and stems were grayish-white and fragile, but the flowers were strangely large.
Blood-red, while the stamens were gray.
Overall, it had no aesthetic appeal, but rather a bit eerie.
Qian Renjue held the heavy flower pot.
Turning his head, he explained:
“Sister, this is a Soul Return Flower. Although it can’t save lives, it can allow you to meet again.”
“Soul Return Flower? Meet again… what?”
Qian Renxue was stunned, murmuring, her face suddenly changed.
Looking at Qian Renjue in shock, she said:
“Father?!”
“Yes.”
Qian Renjue nodded slightly.
The seeds of this Soul Return Flower were obtained from the treasure chest given by the system in recent years.
The pollen of the Soul Return Flower can bring people back to life in a dream.
The premise is that there must be an obsession in the heart.
The reason for giving this seed to Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Besides his enthusiasm for flowers, it was also related to his former sister. (ps: manga)
At the beginning, when Qian Renjue gave the seeds to Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was overjoyed!
That woman was the obsession in his heart, otherwise, how could he be neither male nor female?
Qian Renjue also gained some points because of this.
But he didn't expect…
He himself would use this Soul Return Flower earlier than Chrysanthemum Douluo.
“……”
Having received confirmation.
Qian Renxue was a little excited, opened her mouth, but quickly stopped.
She didn't make any sound.
She really wanted to see Qian Xunji again, but didn't Qian Renjue want to as well?
But there was only one Soul Return Flower…
Qian Renxue pondered for a moment.
And asked: “Jue, can the effect of this Soul Return Flower be used multiple times?”
Qian Renjue gently shook his head.
“I’m not sure, and whether it will succeed is another matter.”
So-called obsession…
What counts as it? Even the deepest obsession has a time to let go.
Wandering souls also die and are unwilling to return.
“Is that so…”
Qian Renxue didn't speak anymore.
She was no longer conflicted in her heart, perhaps Qian Renjue had a higher success rate than herself.
Before long.
The siblings returned to the Hall of Offerings.
Inside the hall, only Qian Daoliu's lonely figure remained, kneeling on the ground.
Softly telling all sorts of things about Qian Xunji…
He didn't even notice when Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue came back.
“Grandpa…”
Qian Renxue called out softly.
Qian Daoliu's shoulders trembled slightly, then he coughed twice.
“Cough cough.”
His voice was hoarse, covering his face with his sleeve.
Only then did he turn around.
“Xiaoxue, Xiaojue, you're back.”
Looking at Qian Daoliu's red eyes, Qian Renjue suddenly changed his mind.
Maybe…
Qian Daoliu, who was secretly shedding tears, was the one who hurt the most.
“Yes, we’re back.”
Qian Renjue nodded gently, holding the flower, and knelt in front of the coffin again.
Qian Renxue followed closely behind.
Taking out the snacks that Bibi Dong had given her, and placed them in front of the coffin.
Qian Daoliu frowned as he looked at the snacks.
He said softly:
“Xiaoxue, Xiaojue, for safety's sake, you should stay in the Hall of Offerings from now on.”
“……”
Qian Renjue and Qian Renxue were stunned at the same time.
But without much resistance, they nodded obediently and agreed.
“We understand, Grandpa.”
“Yes.”
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly.
He believed that the two children had understood his implied meaning.
But Qian Renjue was more determined in his idea.
To give the opportunity to Qian Daoliu…
As a father for decades, he needed the truth and farewell even more.
Qian Daoliu raised his hand and placed it on their heads.
He said softly:
“Alright, don't be too sad. I've already asked someone to prepare lunch. Go back and have a good rest.”
“What about Grandpa?”
Qian Renjue raised his eyes and asked.
“Grandpa is going on a long trip.”
Qian Daoliu's hoarse voice carried a chill.
He instructed: “These few days, you must listen to Grandpa Golden Crocodile. He will handle it.”
Qian Renxue understood.
Qian Daoliu was going to hunt down Tang Hao.
Nodding, she said: “Understood, Grandpa, be careful.”
“I will.”
Qian Daoliu's face was solemn.
He was not some ordinary Peerless Douluo, he also had divine power.
……
Three days passed.
The Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky School had started a war!
And soon the news spread that the Sect Master of the Clear Sky School was angered to death.
As soon as the war started, the gap between the two sides was visible to the naked eye.
The Clear Sky School and its affiliated clans…
Were retreating steadily!
Bibi Dong, who had been waiting for Qian Renjue for a few days, also felt her heart sink to the bottom.
She could only devote herself to the battlefield…
Using slaughter to vent the pain in her heart.
She tirelessly waved the scythe in her hand, tearing apart the bodies of her enemies…
Suffering from severe sleep deprivation.
She was almost in danger several times, fortunately, the elders supported her.
Qian Daoliu went out to hunt down Tang Hao.
And had not returned for a long time.
……
On the sixth day.
Dawn had not yet appeared.
Inside the Star Dou Great Forest, there was a burst of intense holy light.
Followed by a deafening roar.
“Great Sumeru Hammer——!”
Tang Hao, carrying the baby in swaddling clothes, had two yellow, two purple, and five black nine soul rings under his feet.
Three black soul rings shattered…
Turning into a black torrent, pouring into the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.
And collided with the giant sword slashing in the air.
Strangely enough…
Tang Hao and his son seemed to be protected by a blood-colored giant cocoon.
Rolling thick smoke swept and overturned a large area of trees.
Golden light tore through the smoke.
Qian Daoliu's face became extremely ugly as he looked down.
The surrounding blood-red power was extensive.
Completely unable to tell which direction Tang Hao had escaped from.
Central area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Lake of Life was like a bright pearl, emitting a misty light.
In the center of the misty lake.
There was a pink cocoon, pulsating like a heart.
“Roar——!”
A mountain made of granite seemed to be by the lake, opening lantern-like golden eyes.
And roared at the movement in the distance.
Rumble!
Inside the Lake of Life, a huge bull's head suddenly rose.
The body, several times thicker than a water tank, was full of oppression.
“Erming, guard Little Wu.”
“Roar!”
The mountain by the lake let out a low roar and slowly fell silent.
They didn't notice…
That wisps of invisible blood-red color were pouring towards the Lake of Life.
Unconsciously squeezed into the pink giant cocoon.
Inside, there seemed to be a baby…
……
The morning sun rose.
Spirit Hall City, in the courtyard near the Hall of Offerings.
Qian Renjue sat on the steps in front of the door, playing with the Soul-Seizing Orb in his hand.
Slender golden threads wrapped around it, turning it into a necklace.
The Soul Return Flower in the corner was only left with dry branches, leaves, and roots.
Footsteps sounded.
Outside the courtyard was a golden figure.
Qian Xunji, who would deliver meals sooner or later, never arrived as promised.
This habit of eating… should be changed.
“Jue, it’s time to eat.”
Qian Renxue silently served the food and brought it to Qian Renjue.
Qian Renjue silently took it.
And asked: “Sister, can Grandpa kill Tang Hao?”
Qian Renxue pursed her red lips.
And gently shook her head: “We’ll know when Grandpa comes back at night.”
Qian Renxue knew the result.
But she couldn't say it.
Tomorrow was the time for Qian Xunji to enter the Douluo Hall.
Qian Daoliu would be back.
I wish you all a happy life!
