Chapter 25: So then, the question is, why did you take human form?

Gold Crocodile Douluo roughly seized A Yin and came before Qian Renxue, his expression instantly softening. "Haha, Xue'er, this 100,000-year spirit beast second grandpa was caught for you; from now on you should come to the Offering Hall often to play with second grandpa."

Gold Crocodile laughed heartily, as if what he had just done was trivial.

A Yin struggled somewhat unwillingly in Gold Crocodile's grasp, but Gold Crocodile Douluo paid no heed, merely looking at Qian Renxue with eager eyes.

"It's only natural; how could Xue'er bear to leave second grandpa bored all alone in the Offering Hall? Isn't this just taking him out for a stroll to stretch his legs?" Qian Renxue said with a soothing smile; elderly folks just like being coaxed by their juniors.

In this valley, the other attendants openly surrounded Qian Renxue in the middle.

The third attendant, Holy Dragon Douluo, stood tall and imposing to Qian Renxue's left, arms crossed over his chest, his eyes revealing dignity. The fourth attendant, Ghost Leopard Douluo, stood laxly to her right, a carefree smile on his face.

The sixth and seventh attendants, Thousand Jin Douluo and Subdue Demon Douluo, stood straight as spears before Qian Renxue, their postures rigid like lances, exuding an overbearing aura. The fifth attendant, Magic Bear Douluo, stood steadily behind her, like a solid fortress, giving a strong sense of security.

Snake Spear and Spiny Porcupine were not qualified to stand alongside them, so they waited on standby behind Magic Bear Douluo.

The Grand Attendant, Qian Daoliu, hovered fifty meters above them, overseeing the scene; he had once made a pact with Tang Chen: if Tang Chen lost, he would join the Spirit Hall; if Qian Daoliu lost, he could not act against the Clear Sky Sect.

But because Qian Daoliu lost, he thus allowed the Clear Sky Sect to become the number one sect under heaven.

This 100,000-year spirit beast sacrifice operation also involved Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect, so he did not want to show himself directly; whether one calls him pedantic or foolish, Qian Daoliu is just that sort of person—willing to become, in the eyes of the world, a cowardly clown hiding in the Offering Hall for the sake of a promise.

But Qian Renxue is too important to him; even with six Super Douluo of the Offering Hall guarding nearby, Qian Daoliu still felt uneasy, so he remained unseen, watching from the heavens.

Several attendants of the Offering Hall together surrounded Qian Renxue in the middle.

Gold Crocodile Douluo chuckled: "This 100,000-year spirit beast has been caught; Xue'er, how do you plan to persuade her?"

"Second grandpa, rest assured—isn't this obvious? Leave it to me." Qian Renxue gave a light smile and walked toward A Yin; with Gold Crocodile Douluo present, she couldn't make a ripple at all.

A Yin's eyes were filled with despair now; her exquisite face was as pale as paper, her delicate frame trembling slightly, as if she had lost all hope.

Another nine Titled Douluo! Among them were seven Super Douluo! Although only eight figures were visible, A Yin's Blue Silver Domain could clearly sense that above their heads there was a peak Titled Douluo, an ultimate powerhouse, whose presence made no effort to conceal his aura, openly radiating it—clearly a backdrop for Qian Renxue.

Impossible, there's no way out—even if she herself sacrificed to Tang Hao, facing so many Titled Douluo powerhouses, a full twelve of them, Tang Hao and the child would have only a dead end! What to do! What to do! What to do! What to do! A Yin's face lost all calm; now Tang Hao and their child were truly doomed.

She collapsed in despair onto the ground, her eyes vacant as she stared ahead, tears slipping silently down her beautiful face. Qian Renxue gazed at her coldly; for this first spirit ring, she had waited three whole years! Three years! How many three-year spans does a life have? This 100,000-year spirit ring, Qian Renxue must obtain.

Gold Crocodile Douluo also stared at A Yin with icy eyes, showing no reaction whatsoever. Holy Dragon Douluo's face bore a hint of helplessness as he let out a soft sigh. The fourth attendant stood silently at the side, saying nothing. The fifth, sixth, and seventh attendants kept their faces tense, their expressions full of solemnity and excitement.

Spiny Porcupine and Snake Spear stared at Qian Renxue with fiery eyes, eagerly awaiting the legendary opening! A Yin forced her body upright, her face ashen, and said, "First release Hao and our child; I am willing to offer myself as a sacrifice."

But Qian Renxue would not be like a third-rate villain, impatient; she had waited three years already, and a moment more made no difference. To maximize the spirit ring's effect, she wanted A Yin to willingly offer herself as a sacrifice.

Qian Renxue's delicate face showed no expression; she did not engage in banter, looking down at her from above, she asked in a flat tone: "Beautiful Blue Silver Emperor, do you still remember why you took human form?" Her eyes held a hint of inquiry, as if she hoped to find something in A Yin's answer.

A Yin lifted her head; her blue hair hung loose and disheveled, her eyes empty and helpless. A Yin did not know what Qian Renxue was thinking; she had clearly already agreed to sacrifice herself—was this meant to humiliate me? How hateful!

"Do you know what abilities a 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor possesses? Do you know what the ultimate mystery of the Blue Silver Domain is?" A Yin countered, not expecting Qian Renxue to answer, and began speaking on her own.

"The ultimate mystery of the Blue Silver Domain is immortality—no one can kill me. Moreover, no one can obtain my spirit ring and spirit bone. Unless I sacrifice myself, releasing Hao and my child! Otherwise, you will never hope to gain my spirit ring and spirit bone!"

Qian Renxue suddenly burst into wild laughter, the sound pleasant like silver bells yet carrying a power that seized the heart.

She slightly lifted her head, her vermilion lips parting; laughter welled from her throat—at first clear and melodious like a babbling brook, then gradually becoming impassioned and soaring, her pure countenance gaining a touch of extravagance and allure from this unrestrained laughter.

Her radiant golden hair swayed like golden waves, each strand glittering with light, complementing her exquisite smile; the laughter drifted through the valley, like celestial music lingering in the air, making one marvel at her madness while being unable to help but become intoxicated by her delightfully stunning, pealing laughter.

"Yes! Exactly! Even like this! Even in this form! You still chose to take human shape!"

"As a 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor, your vitality is the strongest among all spirit beasts! Yet you chose to take human form! With your vitality, breaking through the 100,000-year bottleneck is a foregone conclusion!"

"No! No! No! Not just 100,000 years—200,000, 300,000, even 400,000! And so on. With your innate domain and ability, heavenly tribulation could never kill you; you would inevitably be reborn, wouldn't you?"

Qian Renxue suddenly gathered her wild demeanor, her tone gentle, her expression soft, as if speaking casually: "So then, the question is, why did you take human form?"

Let's start teasing the lovesick brains, brothers! Hehe, as I wrote I found myself laughing; truly, Qian Renxue, the laughter champion of the Angel Family!
