Chapter 16

The Douluo Continent, Sunset Forest.

When Qian Qianji appeared in the Sunset Forest with Xiao Rou, the sky had already completely brightened.

Passing through the poisonous fog, they entered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Xiao Rou was completely attracted by the scenery of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

"I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful place in this world." Xiao Rou couldn't help but sigh, and even couldn't help but think, how good it would be if she could live here forever.

"Xiao Rou, let's go, I'll take you to see a good thing." Qian Qianji pulled Xiao Rou deep into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

"Your Holiness the Pope." Yue Guan came over, and in the distance, there were Soul Masters tending and cultivating immortal herbs and rare treasures.

"Yue Guan, how is the progress of cultivating the immortal herbs and rare treasures?"

"Your Holiness the Pope, the research on rare treasures has already succeeded in part."

"The immortal herbs are a bit more troublesome."

"No need to rush, we have plenty of time. As long as we can cultivate immortal herbs, everything will be worth it." Qian Qianji did not intend to limit Yue Guan's time and let him play to his strengths.

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope, I will definitely not let you down." Yue Guan had never been as happy as he was during this period; this was his lifelong pursuit, and this was great trust.

Words could not express the grace of the Pope's trust in him; only by cultivating the immortal herbs as soon as possible and not letting the Pope down.

……

Yue Guan took his leave.

Xiao Rou was still immersed in the beautiful scenery of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Qian Qianji pulled Xiao Rou and said, "Xiao Rou, let's go, I'll take you to see a good thing."

Xiao Rou followed Qian Qianji's footsteps and came before the Lovesick Heartbroken Red.

Seeing the Lovesick Heartbroken Red, Xiao Rou couldn't take her eyes off it.

Although she didn't know what the thing before her was called or what its function was, just by feeling, she knew that the thing before her must be a unique treasure in the world.

"Master, what is this?" Xiao Rou asked; she believed Qian Qianji absolutely did not bring her here for no reason.

Qian Qianji introduced, "Xiao Rou, this is the Lovesick Heartbroken Red. In my view, it is the only immortal herb in the world that truly counts as an immortal grade."

"It has the effect of bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh; as long as there is a breath left, it can fully recover."

"Additionally, it can also conceal your identity as a soul beast; even a Titled Douluo wouldn't be able to discover it."

"However, the method of picking the Lovesick Heartbroken Red is extremely special; it must be picked by someone it recognizes."

"If picked by force, it will only be destroyed."

"To pick the Lovesick Heartbroken Red, one must think of their beloved, be single-minded, and sincere to the extreme, and drip a drop of heart blood onto the petals, waiting for it to recognize its master."

"If it recognizes its master successfully, it can be picked; if it fails, it cannot be picked."

"This is also the purpose of me bringing you here."

"Master, please forgive me, I cannot do it." Xiao Rou said with fear and trepidation.

She had clearly misunderstood Qian Qianji's meaning.

Qian Qianji smiled, "Xiao Rou, you misunderstood my meaning. The person I want you to think of is not me, but your deceased husband."

"You and I are just a transaction."

"I won't ask too much of you, as long as you don't betray me."

"Master, thank you. Don't worry, I will never betray you."

"Start." Qian Qianji looked at the Lovesick Heartbroken Red, wanting to know if his own idea would succeed.

"Okay, Master." Xiao Rou came to the front of the Lovesick Heartbroken Red, and scenes of her and her husband began to emerge in her mind.

When her feelings reached their depth, she shed tears, and a drop of heart blood appeared in Xiao Rou's palm, dripping toward the Lovesick Heartbroken Red.

The heart blood swirled several times but was not absorbed by the Lovesick Heartbroken Red.

It won't work? Qian Qianji felt some regret.

Xiao Rou, however, did not stop there.

A cool female voice appeared in her mind.

"You have already betrayed your husband; what face do you have to hope for my recognition?"

Xiao Rou muttered to herself, "I just want to avenge my husband; what wrong have I done?"

"As long as I can avenge my husband, I am willing to pay any price, even death."

At this moment, Xiao Rou's hatred was heaven-shaking, and even the heart blood that had been rolling around changed.

The Lovesick Heartbroken Red fell into silence.

Yes, how could this not be a kind of sincere love to the extreme! Although it was extreme to the point of being radical.

The Lovesick Heartbroken Red finally absorbed Xiao Rou's heart blood, left the ground on its own, and moved toward Xiao Rou.

It actually succeeded! Happiness came too suddenly.

Qian Qianji was very happy.

"Master, here." Xiao Rou offered the Lovesick Heartbroken Red with both hands. Qian Qianji took it and could feel a clear resistance.

Truly a naughty little flower.

Qian Qianji looked at the Lovesick Heartbroken Red carefully and felt that the black spots in the roots were a bit abrupt.

But after all, he had never seen the Lovesick Heartbroken Red, so Qian Qianji didn't pay much attention, thinking it might be a normal phenomenon.

Even if there were abnormalities, Qian Qianji believed he could easily suppress them.

"Xiao Rou, since you can make the Lovesick Heartbroken Red recognize you as its master, you should keep it by your side." Qian Qianji gave the Lovesick Heartbroken Red to Xiao Rou.

"Thank you, Master." Xiao Rou took it and carefully placed the Lovesick Heartbroken Red in her pouch.

After recognizing its master, the Lovesick Heartbroken Red became much smaller.

"Xiao Rou, the purpose of this trip has been achieved, it's time for us to go home."

"Yes, Master."

Qian Qianji took Xiao Rou and left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, heading toward Spirit City.

……

The Douluo Continent, Spirit City.

Afternoon.

When Qian Qianji returned to Spirit City with Xiao Rou, the sun was about to set.

He headed straight for the Saintess Hall.

At this time, Qian Renxue and Qian Renshuang had already finished school, and Qian Renxia, Qian Renwei, and Qian Renting should also be back for dinner.

Therefore, at this time, Leng Lingyuan and Xue Ying must be in the Saintess Hall; it was just the right time to take advantage of everyone being there to let Xiao Rou get familiar with the family members.

……

Spirit City, Saintess Hall.

Qian Qianji pushed the door and entered.

"Husband."

"Master."

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy..."

"Lingyuan, Xue Ying."

"My good daughters, let me hug you." Qian Qianji responded one by one.

Qian Renxue, Qian Renshuang, Qian Renxia, Qian Renwei, and Qian Renting, the five little ones, ran toward Qian Qianji and Xiao Rou.

"Daddy, Daddy, is this our new mother?" the five little ones asked one after another.

"Yes." Qian Qianji responded.

"Third Mother, we want gifts." The five little ones did not reject Xiao Rou.

Fortunately, Xiao Rou had been prepared on the way back; seeing the five little ones was like seeing her own daughter, Xiao Wu.

She was very enthusiastic.

Leng Lingyuan observed Xiao Rou, her heart full of infinite doubts; she had already guessed Xiao Rou's identity, which was highly likely to be the Blue Silver Emperor that her husband had mentioned, but she didn't understand, wasn't the Blue Silver Emperor Tang Hao's wife, why?

Qian Qianji looked at the doubt in Leng Lingyuan's eyes and immediately understood what she was thinking.

After Qian Qianji's explanation, Leng Lingyuan also understood; the soul beast before her was not the Blue Silver Emperor, but the Rabbit Emperor—Xiao Rou.

"Great Matriarch, Second Matriarch." Xiao Rou called out respectfully.

Qian Qianji suggested, "Lingyuan, let Xiao Rou stay by your side."

"Okay." Leng Lingyuan agreed happily; Xiao Rou looked like someone who had "been there," and had a lot of experience in coaxing the five little ones.

Sometimes the five little ones really gave her a headache; now that someone with experience and who could be trusted had arrived, how could she not be happy?

Leng Lingyuan believed in Qian Qianji's ability and judgment; of course, she herself would also pay more attention to Xiao Rou.

Qian Qianji coaxed the five little ones for a while and then left the Saintess Hall.

He needed to go see if Bibi Dong had already conceived his child.

……

Spirit City, Pope's Hall.

Underground Palace.

Suite No. 1.

Qian Qianji entered, and Bibi Dong remained motionless, as if she hadn't seen him at all.

Last time, Bibi Dong had sworn that she would not be obedient to Qian Qianji anymore, unless Qian Qianji let her leave this damned place.
