Chapter 79: Bringing Bo Sai Xi Back to Martial Soul City

Douluo Continent, Sea God Island.

Another bright and sunny day.

Qian Qianji turned his head to look at Bo Sai Xi, whose belly was five months pregnant, and said, "Little Xi, let's set off for Martial Soul City today."

"All right." Bo Sai Xi, though extremely unwilling to go to Martial Soul City, had no choice because the Sea God's command was in Qian Qianji's hands.

She knew she couldn't avoid it.

Back then, Qian Daoliu failed to win her, yet now she has become Qian Qianji's concubine—what a twist of fate.

On Sea God Island, Bo Sai Xi had little to pack.

Earlier, Qian Qianji had ordered the island's residents to build a large seagoing vessel for him.

Though extremely reluctant, with knives at their throats, they had no choice but to comply.

They were simply afraid of death.

Those who weren't afraid of death were already dead.

Qian Qianji looked at the completed ship, very satisfied; his threat with their lives was not in vain—anything they were willing to learn, they could master.

He brought Bo Sai Xi aboard the ship and left Sea God Island.

The offerings and residents of Sea God Island also breathed a sigh of relief; this devil was finally gone, and they no longer had to suffer his threats.

Only the high priest suffered.

……

Divine Realm.

The Sea God, who had patiently awaited Asura, Kindness, and Evil for five months, finally brought them back to the Divine Realm.

Just as the Sea God stepped forward to tell the three gods what had happened to him, Qian Qianji's voice appeared in his mind.

"Sea God, your emotions are quite agitated now; you must have seen Asura."

"How to put it, you'd better weigh it yourself; don't harbor any wishful thinking, for whatever you say I can sense."

"Your life, as well as Bo Sai Xi's, is entirely in your hands."

Qian Qianji's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the Sea God, leaving him bewildered.

"Must I be controlled by this petty Qian Qianji for my whole life?"

"I'm really unwilling!"

"Sea God, I know you're unwilling, but from the moment you descended to the mortal realm and chose to survive, you've had no choice."

"Follow me well; when I eventually control the Divine Realm, you'll be a great hero, and giving you the post of Enforcer is entirely possible."

The Sea God fell into inner conflict—should he heed Qian Qianji? If Qian Qianji fails later, as a traitor he'll fare no better.

"Although he was coerced, if he listens to Qian Qianji he would indeed be betraying the Divine Realm."

While the Sea God hesitated, Asura, Kindness, and Evil split off and headed straight for him, needing information about Qian Qianji.

"Sea God, where is Qian Qianji?"

"What have you extracted from him?"

As Asura spoke, the Sea God's divine soul began to feel the familiar tearing sensation.

He knew this was Qian Qianji's threat.

The Sea God sighed inwardly, deciding to preserve his life first.

He replied, "Qian Qianji fled."

"Fled?" Asura frowned slightly, "Isn't he a third-rank deity?"

"How could he escape from your grasp?"

"Did someone behind him intervene?"

The Sea God nodded, answering Asura: "I had already subdued Qian Qianji and was about to question him, but just then someone in the dark struck."

"His strength surpasses mine; he rescued Qian Qianji, though I can be certain his power hasn't reached Divine King level."

"If his strength were Divine King, I would have no chance to escape."

"Truly sorry—I could have learned the enemy's situation, but now it seems impossible." The Sea God spoke apologetically while observing Asura's expression. Asura clearly trusted the Sea God, harbored no doubt, and instead comforted him: "Sea God, don't blame yourself; we haven't gained nothing—at least we know the enemy possesses at least one Divine King, a First-rank Deity stronger than you."

"The more the enemy acts, the more strength they reveal, letting us understand them better."

"Regarding the pursuit by the enemy Divine King, we, Kindness, and Evil have also gathered some clues."

"Leave Qian Qianji to you; Kindness, Evil, and I still need to hunt the hidden Divine King."

"Douluo Continent is Qian Qianji's root; he will surely return there."

"Once he returns to Douluo Continent, you will monitor him; the fact that a First-rank Deity would risk exposure to save him shows how special Qian Qianji is to them."

"All right, Asura, I understand." The Sea God breathed a sigh of relief, having managed to bluff his way through.

"Well, I'll be going then." Asura departed from the Sea God's hall.

……

One month later, Qian Qianji traveled day and night, returning to Martial Soul City.

……

Douluo Continent, Martial Soul City.

Upon arriving at Martial Soul City, Qian Qianji first took Bo Sai Xi to the Papal Hall's underground palace, giving her a cozy suite.

Next, A Yin, Tang Yuehua, Tang Weiwei, and Liu Erlong faced childbirth.

The four bore Qian Qianji two sons and two daughters, all with scarlet talent.

Qian Qianji's reward was a two-stage increase of three levels in divine power, a two-stage increase of three levels in divine soul, plus several immortal herb seeds and knowledge of soul tools.

"Rewards distributed; in one minute the host will be infused with divine power and divine soul—please prepare."

One minute later, Qian Qianji began receiving the system's infusion of divine power.

But soon, a feeling of fullness appeared in his body.

At the same time, the system's voice sounded in his ear.

«The host's divine power has already reached level 149, reaching the limit of a first-level deity. »

«If you wish to advance further, please comprehend a certain law, host, to break through the god‑king realm. »

«Or wait for the system's reward. »

«In the system's reward, there is a chance to obtain law power for the host to absorb. »

After the system finished explaining, the infusion of soul power followed.

And the level‑6 soul power happened to raise Qian Qianji's soul level to 149.

Now Qian Qianji's strength has reached the limit of a first‑level deity; to advance further, as the system said, he must comprehend a law or begin absorbing law power.

The remaining seven levels of divine power are stored in the system's space.

After visiting his four children, Qian Qianji decided, while he was happy today, to let Tang Chen have some fun and bring Bo Sai Xi to see her.

After all, Tang Chen hasn't seen Bo Sai Xi in many years; seeing her today will surely make him overjoyed.

……

While pondering, Qian Qianji handed the children to the maid, then left A Yin's room and headed toward Bo Sai Xi's room.

……

Bo Sai Xi saw Qian Qianji and asked, «Qian Qianji, what do you want with me? »

«If it's some shady business, I'm willing but unable; you can see my belly is huge. »

«Of course, if you're not afraid of something happening to the child, feel free to come. »

Qian Qianji laughed and said, «Little Xi, do I look like someone who doesn't think of the child? »

«I came to see you today: first, to check on your condition; second, to take you to meet your ancestor—Tang Chen. »

«I promised him I would let him see you in his lifetime. »

«Tang Chen! » Bo Sai Xi's expression changed.
