Chapter 3: Giving Qian Renxue a Happy Childhood

Having a few servants at home is certainly convenient; they prepared bathwater for him in just a few minutes.

The main reason is that one of the servants is a level 23 fire-attribute Great Spirit Master, so using that fire-attribute soul power to heat it up is naturally swift.

In Wuhun City, almost everyone is a Spirit Master; they only differ in rank.

In a family that possesses a Spirit Douluo, having a few Spirit Master servants is naturally very normal, especially since Lingxu's parents also hold a certain status in Wuhun City.

After washing up, Lingxu changed into a new set of clothes.

Returning to the room, the maid Yue'er had already cleaned up the stains on the floor and placed some fresh potted flowers to freshen the air in the room.

Lingxu sat cross-legged and began to circulate the soul power within his body.

The effect brought by the Profound Water Pill is excellent; his cultivation speed, which was already fast with innate level 7 soul power, increased by a few notches after taking the Profound Water Pill.

It is a pity that the system did not reward a suitable cultivation technique this time; if it had, that would have been perfect.

My soul power has already reached level 20; once I absorb a Spirit Ring, I can take the Soul-Rising Pill, and by then I will be able to narrow the gap with Qian Renxue's soul power, but when should I go to absorb a Spirit Ring?

Should I wait for Mom and Dad to return, or find someone to help?

While he was thinking, the system's voice rang out.

【Ding... Congratulations to the host for receiving a system mission: Qian Renxue wants to see the host. Go see Qian Renxue. Mission reward: First Spirit Ring age increased by 200 years.】

【Ding... Congratulations to the host for receiving a system mission: Qian Renxue wants to eat candy. Go give Qian Renxue a box of assorted-flavor candies. Mission reward: Host's overall physical fitness increased by 30%.】

"There's a mission already?"

Lingxu recalled the moment the system bound to him; he was fusing his martial soul with Qian Renxue, and the system made him bind to Qian Renxue.

All future missions are related to Qian Renxue; Qian Renxue is the key to triggering his missions.

Look at this, he hadn't even taken the initiative to find Qian Renxue yet, and the mission was triggered passively.

Although the mission is very simple, the rewards look quite good too.

Lingxu never expected to soar to the sky and become invincible in the Douluo World with a simple mission; as long as it allows him to improve time and time again, that is good.

He went out to a candy store and Lingxu picked out an exquisite gift box, containing a total of sixteen flavors of candy, with two pieces of each.

Lingxu cannot give too much at once.

Perhaps after Qian Renxue finishes eating, he can trigger similar missions.

Cast a long line to catch a big fish; don't look at the mission as small, it can increase his overall physical fitness by 30%.

For this, even if he trained for half a year, he might not necessarily be able to achieve it.

Carrying a box of candy, Lingxu went to the Offering Hall.

He had a token given by Qian Daoliu on him; with it, no one on the road dared not to bow, and they all stepped aside for Lingxu.

When he arrived at the rear of the Offering Hall, there was a garden, and behind it was a house that led directly to the Offering Hall.

It is Qian Daoliu's residence, and also the place where Qian Renxue often stays.

During this period, Qian Renxue is basically in a stage where Bibi Dong ignores her, and most of the time she is with her grandfather, Qian Daoliu.

Therefore, in the novel, the person she cares about most is her grandfather, Qian Daoliu.

Seeing Lingxu arrive, especially the box in his hand, she swallowed her saliva and trotted all the way to Lingxu's side.

【Ding... Congratulations to the host for completing the mission of meeting Qian Renxue; mission reward issued!】

【Congratulations to the host for successfully increasing the first Spirit Ring by 200 years!】

"Brother Lingxu, did you bring this for me?" Qian Renxue asked very obediently.

Lingxu nodded and smiled: "Of course it's for you, but I didn't know which flavor you liked best, Xiaoxue, so I brought a little of every flavor."

"Really? That's great!" Qian Renxue said happily.

Actually, as for Qian Daoliu, he doesn't know how to coax children, so Qian Renxue rarely ate such candies before.

A single piece of candy seemed to open up Qian Renxue's taste buds.

Taking the box, Qian Renxue liked it very much; she opened it and randomly picked one to eat.

"Delicious, really delicious, thank you Brother Lingxu." Qian Renxue said while eating.

【Ding... Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission of giving Qian Renxue candy; mission reward issued!】

【Congratulations to the host for increasing overall physical fitness by 30%!】

In an instant, Lingxu felt the changes in his body.

His overall physical fitness—whether it be stamina, endurance, strength, agility, etc. —was improved at this moment.

30% might not seem like much, but for Lingxu at this period, the improvement is very large, letting him far surpass his peers.

Compared to people with the same soul power, there is still a slight gap relatively speaking.

For example, if Lingxu were to compare strength with an adult now, although their soul power might be the same, there is a natural physical gap.

These are not things that can be possessed just by increasing soul power.

Therefore, increasing his overall physical fitness by 30% is a huge gain for Lingxu.

"Brother Lingxu, let's go practice together," Qian Renxue said.

At this moment for Qian Renxue, besides practicing and studying, there was almost no playing; going out yesterday was also something she begged Qian Daoliu for many times.

Regarding Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu cannot be said to be anything but strict.

Otherwise, how could the novel have allowed Qian Renxue, who was only nine-plus years old, to impersonate the ten-plus-year-old Xue Qinghe?

Generally speaking, the Qian Renxue in the novel did not have much of a childhood, let alone a youth.

The more Lingxu thought about it, the more he felt that Qian Renxue's life was quite pitiful.

Looking at such a cute Qian Renxue, Lingxu sighed in his heart.

It was also at this moment that the system's voice rang out again.

【Ding... Congratulations to the host for triggering a system mission: Give Qian Renxue three years of a happy childhood. Mission reward: Random top-tier martial soul *1】

A reward of a martial soul?

It is also a top-tier martial soul.

"Brother Lingxu, what's wrong?" Qian Renxue asked curiously, and as she walked a few steps with him, Lingxu suddenly stopped.

Lingxu immediately said, "Xiaoxue, practicing every day must be very boring, right? How about we play a game? After the game, we will practice properly."

"A game? What is a game?" Qian Renxue asked, puzzled.

At this time, the word "game" did not yet exist in Qian Renxue's dictionary.

"A game is..."

Following that, the garden was filled with the laughter of the two.

Watching the happy Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, who was in the shadows, also asked himself: Was he being too harsh on Xiaoxue?

While lost in thought, Qian Daoliu also discovered that Lingxu's soul power had already increased to level twenty.

To be able to raise soul power to level twenty at just over eight years old, it seemed he not only had talent but was also very hardworking; the more he watched Lingxu, who was having fun playing with Qian Renxue, the more he appreciated him.

Playtime always passes quickly; the two barely practiced in the morning, spending over an hour frolicking in the garden instead.

In the afternoon, Lingxu and Qian Renxue began their practice.

With the two of them working together, their practice speed increased by another large margin.

As for the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Lingxu and Qian Renxue did not use it again; Qian Daoliu told them to wait a few more days.

Perhaps he was worried that using the Martial Soul Fusion Skill at this time would harm their bodies.

After all, that was what the books recorded, and even if they were truly a one-hundred-percent perfect match, Qian Daoliu was unwilling to let Qian Renxue take the risk.
