Chapter 13: Didn't find Tang Hao, but
Douluo Continent, Nuoding City.
Holy Soul Village.
Qian Qianji gallops all the way and arrives at Holy Soul Village in just one day.
After arriving at Holy Soul Village, Qian Qianji searches carefully for the tracks of Tang Hao and A Yin.
Nothing.
Qian Qianji sighs to the sky: "Could it be that I can only possess the A Yin that Tang Hao has used?"
"Should I go to Nuoding City and take a look?"
Qian Qianji is a man of action; once he has an idea, he will implement it.
Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire.
Nuoding City.
Qian Qianji spends three days searching the entire Nuoding City, but still cannot find any trace of Tang Hao and A Yin.
"It's really strange, Nuoding City doesn't have them either; let's go to the Star Dou Great Forest and try our luck." Muttering to himself, Qian Qianji leaves Nuoding City.
Although the Star Dou Great Forest is very close to Spirit City, there is an ancient saying that "the most dangerous place is the safest place"; perhaps Tang Hao is in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Approaching the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Qianji doesn't go in directly, but decides to return to Spirit City first to see Leng Lingyuan and his daughters; after all, five days have passed, and he misses these little ones.
When he left Nuoding City, he prepared gifts for this group of little ones, and now they are lying in his storage soul tool.
Douluo Continent, Spirit City.
Saintess Palace.
Morning.
Leng Lingyuan and Xue Ying happen to be there, along with the maids serving the five people: Qian Renxue, Qian Renshuang, and the others.
"Husband."
"Master."
"Your Holiness the Pope."
"Daddy, Daddy, you went out to play and didn't take us." Qian Renxue and the other five surround Qian Qianji.
"Good daughters, this time Daddy went out to handle some business; next time I will definitely take you out to play."
"Look, what Daddy brought back for you, cute cloth dolls." Qian Qianji takes out the gifts for the five of them.
These are all folk trinkets, which might not really be in Spirit City, and as Saintesses, they wouldn't have been able to come into contact with them.
After all, in their cognition, they didn't know there were such interesting little things.
"Thank you, Daddy, for the gifts." The five of them thank him in unison; these trinkets successfully attract their attention, and they no longer fuss about Qian Qianji taking them out to play.
Qian Qianji, Leng Lingyuan, and Xue Ying coax the five children, and when it is time for school, Qian Renxue and Qian Renshuang go to the academy.
As for Qian Renxia, Qian Renwei, and Qian Renting, they take the cloth dolls and leave the Saintess Palace, wandering around Spirit City.
They have people following them by their side.
Now only Qian Qianji, Leng Lingyuan, and Xue Ying are left in the Saintess Palace.
Leng Lingyuan asks: "Husband, didn't you find Tang Hao?"
"No, Tang Hao and A Yin are hiding very well; in a while, I plan to go to the Star Dou Great Forest and try my luck." Qian Qianji shakes his head and expresses his idea.
Leng Lingyuan responds with an "hmm."
Xue Ying listens quietly on the side.
Qian Qianji sees the faint resentment in Leng Lingyuan's eyes and changes the subject: "Lingyuan, did you miss me?"
Leng Lingyuan snorts slightly to express her dissatisfaction.
"Lingyuan, I missed you." Qian Qianji lifts Leng Lingyuan's chin and kisses her lips.
Leng Lingyuan only resists symbolically, and soon softens in Qian Qianji's arms.
As the saying goes, "five days apart is like three autumns," dry wood and raging fire, it ignites at a touch.
Xue Ying cannot help but swallow her saliva.
She knows she should take her leave.
"Xue Ying, don't think about running." Leng Lingyuan uses her martial soul, casts a soul skill, and grabs Xue Ying over; she cannot handle Qian Qianji alone.
"Wuwu, Madam, you are bullying me again." Xue Ying says this, but her body pushes hard between the two.
When she opens her eyes again, it is sunset.
Leng Lingyuan holds Qian Qianji's right arm, and Xue Ying holds his left arm. Originally, Qian Qianji wanted to go to the Star Dou Great Forest after finishing, but he couldn't stand the enthusiasm of Leng Lingyuan and Xue Ying, and kept dragging it out until dusk.
It seems that the matter of going to the Star Dou Great Forest can only be tomorrow.
Qian Qianji moves his head, looks at Leng Lingyuan's sleeping face, and cannot help but peck her forehead slightly.
Leng Lingyuan seems to have a heart-to-heart connection, and her smile is even brighter in her sleep; she must be having a beautiful dream, and even the hands holding Qian Qianji's right arm tighten by a point.
The next day.
Qian Qianji gets up early
……
The Douluo Continent, the Star Dou Great Forest.
Qian Qianji entered the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest, discerning the gathering place of high-age Blue Silver Grass.
If Tang Hao and A Yin were in the Star Dou Great Forest, the most likely place was undoubtedly the Blue Silver Grass territory where A Yin had stayed for a long time.
After countless explorations by predecessors, the Spirit Hall already possessed a relatively complete map of the Star Dou Great Forest, excluding the mysterious region at the very center.
The location where the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape resided was not the mysterious region at the very center of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Relying on knowledge far beyond the current era, Qian Qianji had a guess about this mysterious region.
If his guess was correct, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were at best guard dogs.
It was just unclear whether the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape knew of their existence.
It was highly probable they did not; after all, if they knew, wouldn't they have told Tang San?
The answer was self-evident.
In the end, they sacrificed themselves for Tang San without even calling for help from them.
However, Qian Qianji did not intend to step into the intermediate region now, because there were existences within it that made him wary.
A lean camel is still bigger than a horse; even a severely wounded God King was not an existence he could currently provoke.
Better to first go to the Blue Silver Grass territory and see if A Yin and Tang Hao were there.
That was the safest option.
Qian Qianji had already identified the area where the Blue Silver Emperor territory was located.
……
The Star Dou Great Forest.
Blue Silver Emperor territory.
The Blue Silver Grass worked together to resist Qian Qianji, but since Qian Qianji had already stepped into the demigod realm, their obstruction failed.
"I said, I have no malice toward you."
"Of course, the premise is that you must honestly answer my questions. If you try to be deceitful, I don't mind wiping you all out."
"Believe me, I have the strength to do so."
Qian Qianji appeared before the Blue Silver King.
"Human, ask away." The Blue Silver King was both afraid and hateful toward Qian Qianji, but for the safety of the clan, he had to choose to submit.
After all, it was not easy for them to cultivate to this point, and he really did not want to start over from the beginning.
Starting over—no one could be certain they could reach their current height again.
"Where is your Blue Silver Emperor currently?"
"She went to your human world."
"Has she returned?"
"No."
"Fine, I know now." Qian Qianji had his own ways to discern if the Blue Silver King was lying.
He left.
Love is truly a wondrous thing; A Yin had Tang Hao, so she could disregard her own clan, and she didn't even know to come back and see her family.
It actually let you escape a disaster.
A Yin, oh A Yin; Tang Hao, oh Tang Hao, where on earth are you!
Qian Qianji walked toward the outside of the Star Dou Great Forest, but when he reached the mixed region, he stopped his footsteps.
Tsk tsk, didn't expect an unexpected harvest.
Although he didn't find A Yin, this rabbit was also not bad.
Little rabbit, today, no matter how many tricks you have, don't even think about escaping from my palm.
