Chapter 117: 113. Dedicated Protection
Upon hearing this, Qian Renjue lifted his gaze towards the graceful figure.
The Spirit Kite Douluo(I will call her by her Chinese name: Ling Yuan,from now. Cause it sounds much more elegant for a woman) , following Bibi Dong's gaze, slowly turned around to look at the refined and handsome young man before her.
Her beautiful eyes, which sparkled with brilliance, slightly narrowed.
Her expression was cold and stunning, her full lips gently curved into a smile.
Her slender figure was tightly wrapped in black leather armor.
Her waist, perfectly defined, complemented her ample chest and peach-like hips.
Her tousled, slightly curly side-parted short hair added a touch of professionalism and heroism to her appearance.
This was the third female soul master with such mature aura that Qian Renjue had seen, besides Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.
She was a rare female Title Douluo powerhouse.
Noticing the astonishment in Qian Renjue's eyes, Ling Yuan's smile grew even wider.
After all, the young man before her was not an ordinary person.
Ling Yuan Douluo raised her hand, gently stroking her tightly bound soft waist, and gracefully bowed.
"To His Highness the Holy Son, Ling Yuan pays her respects."
Qian Renjue gave a slight nod, raised his arm gently, and spoke in his usual gentle tone.
"There's no need for such formalities, Ling Yuan Douluo."
After Ling Yuan Douluo straightened up, Qian Renjue looked back at Bibi Dong.
"Teacher."
"Jue, at this moment, there's no need to call me teacher."
Bibi Dong interrupted as Qian Renjue began to speak.
Bibi Dong smiled and explained, "I plan to have Ling Yuan specially responsible for your protection. Therefore, there's no need to be so formal."
"Specially responsible for my protection?"
Qian Renjue was taken aback and somewhat surprised.
He stayed within the Spirit City every day and didn't go anywhere, so it seemed unnecessary.
Looking up at Bibi Dong, he said helplessly, "Mom, isn't this a bit of an overkill?"
"How could it be overkill?"
Bibi Dong's brows furrowed slightly, and her expression became very serious.
"As the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, your safety cannot be overlooked."
"Your Majesty is right."
Ling Yuan Douluo slightly bowed to Bibi Dong in agreement.
She then turned to look at Qian Renjue.
"It is my honor to protect His Highness the Holy Son. I hope His Highness will continue to guide and support me in the future."
"Uh…"
Qian Renjue was momentarily speechless and rolled his eyes, realizing that the two of them had likely been colluding for some time.
Arranging Ling Yuan Douluo for him—this was Bibi Dong's bottom line, her limit, and it would not change no matter how much he persuade.
"Alright, Ling Yuan, you may leave for now."
Bibi Dong raised her hand, waving her sleeve to dismiss Ling Yuan Douluo.
"Understood. I will take my leave."
Ling Yuan Douluo responded softly.
She gave a gentle nod to Qian Renjue, then gracefully exited the hall.
"Hurry up and come up here."
Bibi Dong's stern expression softened, and she warmly beckoned Qian Renjue.
"Hmm."
Qian Renjue quickly climbed the steps.
He reached the Pope's exclusive seat which was adorned with various gemstones.
Bibi Dong gracefully shifted her posture, allowing Qian Renjue to sit beside her.
She nimbly held onto his arm and leaned lightly against him, playfully blowing a fragrant breeze.
"Alright, don't look so gloomy. I don't intend to have Ling Yuan follow you around all the time."
"Thank you, Mom."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly.
He understood that this arrangement came from Bibi Dong's concern for him.
"Mm, as long as you're not unhappy."
Bibi Dong smiled with satisfaction.
She took out some pastries she had made herself and gently fed them to Qian Renxue.
"I won't be."
Qian Renxue shook his head gently, reaching forward to take a bite of the soft pastry.
Their lips briefly touched.
"Heh."
Bibi Dong chuckled softly, lightly touching Qian Renxue's lips to brush off the crumbs.
"Mother, here's a letter from my sister for you."
Qian Renxue handed Bibi Dong the letter from Qian Renxue.
"Hmm."
Bibi Dong took the letter, tilted her head slightly, and then furrowed her brows.
"This crown is really bothersome; it makes it difficult to lean on your shoulder properly."
Qian Renjue smiled helplessly.
As soon as he raised his hand, Bibi Dong lowered her head slightly, smilingly allowing Qian Renjue to remove the crown for her.
"Ha ha. Good boy."
Bibi Dong smiled and gently tapped Qian Renjue on the face.
Then, she linked her arm with his, leaned on his shoulder, and snuggled against him.
Her beautiful face, with a warm smile, gradually lost its fatigue. Her jade-like fingers unfurled the letter.
Curiously, he asked, "What did sister says?"
"…"
" Xiao Xue seems to have some ideas."
Bibi Dong smiled and squinted, saying that the idea of a warming bed maid was acceptable.
But she worried that it might end up being like a daughter-in-law.
That wouldn't do!
...
After Bibi Dong finished reading the letter, Qian Renjue massaged her slender shoulders and then returned to his residence.
In the courtyard filled with floral scents, the pink Soft Bone Rabbit was playfully chasing colorful butterflies, thoroughly enjoying itself.
Hu Liena was sitting under the pavilion, resting her chin on her hand, nibbling on a pacifier, and quietly waiting.
"Squeak Squeak!"
The Soft Bone Rabbit's cry suddenly sounded.
The butterfly it was chasing landed on Qian Renjue's shoulder.
Hu Liena turned around, immediately delighted, and stood up, holding the flower pot.
She approached.
"Senior Brother, Nana has brought back the item you wanted."
"Mm, thank you, Nanna."
Qian Renjue smiled, ruffled her hair, and then took the "Resurrection Flower" from her.
"This is what Nana should do."
Hu Liena gently rubbed her hand against Qian Renjue's palm.
Qian Renjue chuckled softly, tenderly pinching her cheek and saying, "Alright, Nana, you should go back to your cultivation now. I still have some things to do."
"Mm."
Hu Liena nodded seriously.
She bent down to pick up the Soft Bone Rabbit.
"Nana, don't take the rabbit just yet. I'll watch over it for now."
Qian Renjue gently stopped her, lifting the Soft Bone Rabbit from her arms.
"Stupid rabbit, you mustn't cause trouble."
Hu Liena pouted and shook her little fist at the rabbit as a warning.
Then, she ran toward her room.
"squeak!"
The Soft Bone Rabbit kicked its legs towards Hu Liena, resisting.
("Little brat! Big Sister Xiao Wu wouldn't cause trouble.")
"Heh."
Qian Renjue shook his head helplessly.
He carried the Soft Bone Rabbit and the flower pot toward Bibi Dong's room.
As soon as he entered the room, the Soft Bone Rabbit went straight to the bathroom to wash itself in the water.
Afterward, it called out to Qian Renjue from the door.
"squeak!"
("Holy Son, please come and help Xiao Wu dry off.")
"Alright!"
Qian Renjue put down the Resurrection Flower and picked up a towel to dry the rabbit.
He rubbed it gently and meticulously, his warm gaze resting on it with a smile.
"Wah."
The Soft Bone Rabbit cooperated obediently, its pink fur showing a hint of blush.
...
Night fell like a curtain.
The full moon banquet at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had already begun.
During a break from cultivation and with nothing to do, Qian Renxue had temporarily taken on the appearance of Xue Qinghe to attend the banquet.
Sipping from a cup of clear wine, she looked at the pink cloth that was wrapped around a small baby being fought over by three big men, her mind considering:
Should she deal with her in advance?
