"Yeah, but that was yesterday. That's still a long time." Qian Renxue pouted adorably, putting her head on her grandpa's chest and causing him to chuckle fondly :"Fine, fine. I missed you too. How have you been?"
"Mhm, I'm fine. Life is normal like always." She shrugged with a smile after she let go. With a smile, he nodded in response :"Good, good. So how are the other's? How is your junior sister Nana?
What about Bibi Dong?" He questioned lightly with a small smile. But in his deep eyes that seemed to hold the knowledge of the world, he had hidden multiple emotions at the mention of his deceased son's former disciple.
Sadness, shame, and guilt.
He didn't show them though. He just hid them like how he had done so for so many years in front of his dear granddaughter. Qian Renxue shrugged again :"They're fine too. We actually set off together.
Nana went to Martial Soul Hall Academy and mom accompanied me and Xiao Li till we reached here. She went to the Supreme Pontiff Palace while me and Xiao Li came here. He's waiting for you right now!"
"I see, so you brought him, huh?" He asked lightly before she nodded :"Yup, I did. I wanted to bring him as fast as possible because we all found out something just a little while ago!"
"Oh? What can it be that made you this excited?" He smiled in amusement as she grinned childishly :"Why don't you take a guess? But I'm sure that you'd never guess it! It's just too shocking!"
"Hahaha, Xiao Xue, I'm old. Don't play with me like this." He shook his head in amusement :"Come on, tell me already. You've made me curious now."
"Sigh, fine. You're no fun." Qian Renxue rolled her eyes playfully before smiling excitedly :"We found out that me and Xiao Li actually have Martial Soul Fusion!"
He nodded calmly with a smile :"Oh, I see, I see-..." But when he proceeded what he had just heard, his eyes went wide open in shock as he looked at her :"YOU WHA-"
<The return of YOU WHA- !>
-
"My god..." Qian Daoliu said in disbelief, his hand rubbing his mouth and chin in absolute shock :"How can this even be possible...? Xiao Xue, do you know what this means?"
Qian Renxue :" Uhh... Very good news because me and Xiao Li will have a very strong Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
Qian Daoliu :"Sigh, that's true. But the main point is Ah Li's martial soul. Do you know how Martial Soul Fusion happens?"
Qian Renxue :"Isn't it when two or more martial souls have a lot of compatibility and share a lot of properties?"
Qian Daoliu, nodding :"That's correct. So that means that Ah Li's martial soul shares properties and is compatible with Seraphim, a god bestowed martial soul... I know your mother said that his body martial souls can be as powerful as the Seraphim, but that's still different."
Qian Renxue confused :"How so? Aren't they the same?"
Qian Daoliu, shaking head seriously :"No. Being as powerful and being alike are two very different things. For example, the Hao Tian Hammer is also extremely powerful, to the point where it can be comparable to our Seraphim. But it's still just a martial soul.
Seraphim is a god bestowed martial soul. Meaning it was granted by a god. The Angel God. For Ah Li's Majestic Heart martial soul to have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with a god bestowed martial soul, it means that it should have the properties of a god inside of it! Otherwise, it would be impossible to have Martial Soul Fusion with him."
Qian Renxue :"What?! So that means Xiao Li's Majestic Heart is also a god bestowed martial soul?!"
Qian Daoliu, shaking head :"I don't know... The chances are high that it's true..." 'Xiao Xue said that they found this Ah Li in the Star Dou Great Forest imprisoned in Ultimate Ice, and that he couldn't remember anything but his name... How could someone with this kind of martial soul just appear out of nowhere...?
... Was a god involved...? But how is that possible? A person can have a god bestowed martial soul if he or she is a descendant of a god... It can't be that this child is actually a descendant of a god or even a child of a god... Right? Why would he be here if that's the case...
... If a god was really involved, we can't risk anything happening to this child. The rage of a god is not something to joke around with... Sigh, forget it for now. No need for Xiao Xue to worry about this. It's not the time yet.' "Forget about it.
Even if we wreck our heads for it, we still probably won't be able to figure it out. Let's just leave it to time. When the time is right, everything will be cleared."
Qian Renxue, still unsure :"Hmm... I guess you have a point... But to think his Majestic Heart could be this extraordinary..."
Qian Daoliu, chuckling and patting her head :"That's true. But it's a nice and welcome surprise, no? After all, who could think that a martial soul would ever appear to be able to have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with our Seraphim?
The Martial Soul Fusion Skill of two normal martial souls is already so strong and terrifying. Just imagine how powerful the Martial Soul Fusion Skill between two god bestowed martial souls would be."
Qian Renxue, curling lips :"Damn... That would actually be pretty terrifying..."
"That's correct. So you should definitely be close with Ah Li." He said with a smile as he walked towards the door, confusing his granddaughter :"Huh? What does that mean?"
But Qian Daoliu seemed to have ignored her as he walked with his hands behind him, thinking about something :"Hmm... I wonder if I should talk to Bibi Dong about engaging you two now before any other girl steals him?"
"Grandpa?!" The blonde shouted in shock, blushing like crazy as she quickly ran after him :"What are you talking about?! W-why would I be e-engaged with him?! Also, h-he's just a kid!"
"So it's okay if he wasn't a kid? He won't stay a kid, you know?" He raised an eyebrow, causing her to blush even more :"T-that's not the point! Why do you even want me and Xiao Li to get together?!"
Qian Daoliu :"Obviously because it's inevitable. Do you think the fusion of martial souls is something simple? Martial souls are part of our souls, so the fusion between martial souls is just like our souls being fused into one.
Do you think the relationship between two people that spiritually fuse into one will stay something simple like friends or such? The bond between the people that have Martial Soul Fusion will only get stronger as time goes on and each time they perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
For family members, the bond between them will be stronger. Between two strangers that are of the same gender, their friendship and companionship will get stronger. But between two strangers of the opposite sex? Do you think that could lead anywhere but a romantic relationship?
<Alabama and homosexuality :"Allow us to introduce ourselves.">
Your relationship with him will always develop into a romantic one in the future. So might as well take him for yourself early. You think that kinda genius won't have women flocking around him to take him for themselves? You should make your move quick, Xiao Xue."
Qian Renxue, blushing from embarrassment :"Grandpa! E-even if t-that's true, Xiao Li is only a kid! Do you know how much older I am?!"
Qian Daoliu, raising an eyebrow :"What's wrong with being older than him? You can stop him from fooling around since you're older and stronger. As I told you, there won't be a shortage of women trying to take him for themselves. You can boss him around since you're older.
Also, there is no problem with wanting to get with someone older. I was in love with a woman over 50 years older than me in the past. Unfortunately, we weren't fated for each other."
<Yeah... That's not made up. Qian Daoliu was in love with Bo Saixi. This is their and Tang Chen's age in Soul Land Wiki... These two were down bad...
Tang Chen: 100+
Qian Daoliu: 157
Bo Saixi: 200+
... I respect their taste for older women and milfs. Too bad Bo Saixi isn't a mother. She'd be a full milf otherwise>
Qian Renxue, taken aback :"Wha-?! You what?! FIFTY?!"
Qian Daoliu, curling lips :"That's not the subject here. Drop it. Anyway, as I said, you'd better start trying to take him for yourself before it's too late."
Qian Renxue, blushing :"You! I don't have any feelings for him! Hmph, I won't talk to you again if you continue this subject!"
Qian Daoliu, shrugging :"Sigh, fine. Suit yourself. I'm just giving you advice as your grandfather so you won't regret it in the future. Anyway, so where is he anyway?"
Qian Renxue, sighing in relief :"Sigh, finally. Just this way. I told him to sit and wait for me to bring you to him."
Qian Daoliu, looking at her with doubt :"My dear granddaughter, you actually think that a 6 year old child will stay put when alone? Do you remember anything about yourself when you were a child?"
Qian Renxue, slightly embarrassed :"I... Hmph. Let's just hope, alright? I couldn't just bring him there without your permission. You don't allow anybody but me to go there easily."
Qian Daoliu :"True that. But you could've also just brought them there and then asked me for permission, no? It's not like that room is forbidden to enter."
Qian Renxue, blushing in shame :"... Can we please just go already?!"
Qian Daoliu, shaking head in amusement :"Sure, sure. Let's go and see just how much of an earthshaking genius this little boy is."
But when they reached where said genius was supposed to be, there were no signs of him anywhere in sight. With a hand on her beautiful face, she rubbed it in frustration :"No. Oh noo. Oh no. Oh no... Xiao Li, you had one job! Just sit in place and wait for me!"
"Come on, no need to be so worried and annoyed." She patted her head before turning to one of the guards :"Hey, you. Where did the little child who was sitting here go? He had black hair and red eyes."
"Your excellency, he was sitting there when he saw his excellency Golden Crocodile douluo." The guard spoke politely and calmly :"The child joked around with his excellency a bit. And then his excellency Golden Crocodile douluo took him to the meeting hall of the worships so the child wouldn't be bored. He said that your excellency and your highness should look for him there."
"I see. Good, thank you." Qian Daoliu nodded before smiling lightly at his granddaughter :"See? Nothing to worry about. Jinzi Eyu just found him interesting and took him to meet the other elders here. Nothing to worry about."
"But what if he makes the other worships angry...?" She said in worry, causing her grandpa to roll his eyes in amusement and gently knock on her head :"You said you don't have any feelings for him. Yet you're so worried about him even though you're not dating him."
"Hmph, drop it already! Of course I'd be worried!" She stomped her foot, glaring cutely :"He's still my mom's disciple and like a little brother to me! What will I do if something happens to him?!"
"Calm down, Xiao Xue." He sighed :"Do you take us elders for idiots just because we're old? Obviously Jinzi Eyu knows that Ah Li is Bibi Dong's disciple. I've already told all of them about him, so there's no need to worry.
Which of these old bastards would dare to mess with Bibi Dong? Don't forget, even though your mom is the Pope and doesn't show off her strength, she is a level 99 limit douluo on par with me. They'd be asking for death if they tried to harm Ah Li.
Now let's go. Even though I'm sure none of them would try to hurt him, I'm not sure if they won't do anything to him... *A little worried* Let's hope that bastard Jinzi Eyu hasn't taken out his alcohol stash…"
