Chapter 46: Qian Daoliu Comes to Heaven Dou in Person

Still several hundred meters away, Qian Renxue already sensed the sounds from the underground passage.

At a depth of fifty meters underground, even the slightest sound would create a significant disturbance.

Facing the somewhat dark passage, Qian Renxue called out loudly: "Brother Lingxu, have you arrived?"

"I'm here!" Lingxu also responded.

Channeling his soul power, Qian Renxue used the light emitted by her soul power to quickly illuminate the passage for Lingxu.

Not until Lingxu arrived in this hall did Qian Renxue withdraw her soul power.

"Brother Lingxu, I smell some food on you, as well as the scent of a special beverage."

Speaking of this, Qian Renxue became somewhat expectant.

Lingxu laughed: "Xue'er, your nose is as sharp as a dog's."

Qian Renxue, however, looked dissatisfied and said: "Brother Lingxu, I need to think carefully about whether you are complimenting me or complimenting me!"

"Xue'er, look quickly, see what I brought you."

Lingxu waved his hand, taking ten packed dishes out from the System Space.

The food containers were exquisitely beautiful, like works of art.

As expected of the most expensive tavern in Heaven Dou City, every specification was of the highest standard.

"Is this... food from the Heaven Dou First Tavern?" Qian Renxue asked in surprise; it was clear she had been there too.

Lingxu said: "That's right, it seems you've eaten there too, Xue'er."

Qian Renxue said: "I've eaten there once, but it was truly too expensive, back when Prince Xue Xing was hosting a grand banquet."

"Actually, Prince Xue Xing only owns a ten percent stake in this Heaven Dou First Tavern; ninety percent belongs to Great Emperor Xueye. After all, this tavern was his business when he was young, and the income goes directly into his private treasury."

"So that's how it is, no wonder it's so expensive!"

"Xue'er, eat while it's hot; it won't be good if it gets cold," Lingxu said.

Opening all the food containers, "Wow, you brought so much, wouldn't this cost several thousand Gold Soul Coins?"

"Is there also their specialty beverage?" Qian Renxue asked.

Lingxu nodded and said: "Yes, of course there is."

He immediately took out ten bottles and placed them neatly on the table.

"Brother Lingxu, you eat too; it's so boring for me to eat alone," Qian Renxue requested.

Actually, Lingxu was already quite full, but since Qian Renxue had said so, it wouldn't hurt to eat a little more.

"Brother Lingxu, did you buy this?"

While eating, Qian Renxue asked.

Lingxu shook his head and said: "No, someone else was treating, I just packed some to take away."

"Packed to take away? Brother Lingxu, aren't you just scamming people?"

"Just what's on this table must be worth at least ten thousand Gold Soul Coins. Even if someone is treating, they wouldn't be this extravagant, right? Besides, Brother Lingxu, how could you have the nerve to pack so much?" Qian Renxue analyzed.

She understood Lingxu very well.

Since someone else was treating, he would definitely not have eaten such a meal.

She guessed this would be the only time she got to eat this, as who would dare to treat him in the future.

Lingxu laughed: "Well, Salas was treating our family to a meal, so don't you think I should have packed a bit more, Xue'er?"

"And this old fellow is not acting his age, actually trying to scheme against my Sister Liu'er and Sister Yun'er. This time, I definitely cost him at least one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins."

Upon hearing it was Salas, Qian Renxue laughed.

"Brother Lingxu, you are still too kind to Salas. One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins isn't enough; it should be at least one million Gold Soul Coins," Qian Renxue said with a serious expression.

"That much? I reckon Salas would eat me on the spot," Lingxu said.

Qian Renxue shook her head and said: "Brother Lingxu, you don't know about Salas's income. He can collect ten thousand Gold Soul Coins every month from the Spirit Hall. Aside from that, as the Hall Master of the Heaven Dou Spirit Hall Branch, he has many sources of income; he can easily make four or five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins a year."

"That much?" Lingxu said.

Qian Renxue nodded and said: "Much of it is grey income. Since he wants to kill you, Brother Lingxu, I cannot be polite to him either. Once I go out, I will definitely use the power of the Spirit Hall to investigate him thoroughly; he shouldn't keep this position either."

Lingxu laughed: "That would be fine!"

If Salas were made to leave and his father Ling Bufan came to serve as the Hall Master of the Heaven Dou City Spirit Hall, it would be very convenient for him and Qian Renxue to establish their influence here in Heaven Dou City.

Aside from the Heaven Dou Empire, there would be almost no constraints!

"Mmm, this beverage is delicious, though it's still a bit worse than the fruit juice you make for me, Brother Lingxu." Qian Renxue took a sip, not forgetting to praise Lingxu.

One might ask, who wouldn't like a girl like this?

"Brother Lingxu, I have already told Grandfather about my decision and everything that happened between you and me here. I think Grandfather will surely agree," Qian Renxue smiled.

"I hope so!" Lingxu said.

In truth, Lingxu could not clearly discern Qian Daoliu's thoughts.

But one thing was certain: Qian Daoliu was very good to Qian Renxue, exceptionally good. If he weren't, how could he have sacrificed himself in the end to let Qian Renxue become a god?

Therefore, if there were a better way, Lingxu felt Qian Daoliu would likely agree.

After finishing their late-night snack, the two began to cultivate together again.

Utilizing the compatibility of their martial souls, the two achieved twice the result with half the effort.

Unknowingly, the time had already reached four in the morning, and Qian Renxue had to go back to prepare to head to the Tiandou Huanggong.

Although she was about to leave, the closer it got to the end, the less they could relax.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and the lives of Lingxu and Qian Renxue remained very peaceful.

During this time, Lingxu went to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well once more; the newly grown medicinal herbs there had already begun to sprout tender buds.

Especially with his special methods, the quantity of Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs inside had doubled.

For the sake of safety, Lingxu set up an array around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

However, he did not set it up as extensively as Dugu Bo had.

It only covered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the area forty to fifty meters above and around it.

In fact, a larger range would only make it easier to be exposed.

What puzzled Lingxu, however, was that the system had been like dead for the past half month, not issuing a single mission.

Lingxu estimated that the system would no longer issue missions for daily life.

Anyway, the current start was already very good for Lingxu; as long as he worked hard, things would not go poorly.

In the evening, Lingxu came to the underground secret chamber as usual.

But before he even arrived, Lingxu's Mental Power sensed that there was more than just Qian Renxue inside.

His parents were both at home and hadn't come over; could it be that he had been exposed?

Lingxu ran over quickly.

But when he arrived at the secret chamber space, he discovered that there were three more people here.

One of them was actually Qian Daoliu.

He had actually left Wuhun City and come here.

Behind him, two people also looked very powerful, and the aura they revealed unintentionally made Lingxu feel that the two were definitely not simple.

"Qian Yeye!" Lingxu stepped forward and saluted.

Qian Renxue said, "Brother Lingxu, are you surprised? Actually, I didn't expect that Grandfather would come here in person to ask us about the establishment of Lingxue Sacred Land."

"Also, these two are Snake Spear Douluo She Long and Puffer Douluo Ci Xue, respectively; their soul power is both at level ninety-one."
