"What kind of training method would cause muscle strains?"
Thousand Waves was stunned. He had never heard of any Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul training method that could result in muscle strains.
Qian Renxue's mouth twitched, and she suddenly didn't know how to explain. It was all Bi Bidong's fault for not coming up with a decent reason for the mess she had caused!
Bi Bidong turned around to explain, "This training method is to spar with me. Only real combat is the fastest way to improve one's strength."
After hearing this, Thousand Waves frowned, "I'm warning you, Bi Bidong, spar by all means, but don't be so rough with my granddaughter. I've seen her walking like this several times already."
"If I catch her like this again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Qian Renxue immediately leaned closer to her grandfather, wanting to complain, but after receiving a glare from Bi Bidong, she shut her mouth again.
"Whatever, I'm not afraid of you now."
After dropping this statement, Bi Bidong walked straight ahead.
None of the guest elders dared to speak, and the Elders, too, followed behind in unison, leaving the area. At this moment, Qian Renxue nudged Thousand Waves's arm silently.
"Grandpa, she's challenging you."
"I'm not deaf. Bi Bidong still has that Deity Experience Card in her hand, she really is not someone to mess with. Can't you, girl, stay away from her? Knowing she's trouble, why provoke her?"
Qian Renxue was baffled. Was this a matter of staying away? I was just minding my own business in my room, and she barged in!
Without speaking, Qian Renxue sulked and buried her head as she walked.
Thousand Waves asked, "Where is the injury? Let me see."
Just as he finished speaking, Qian Renxue turned and glared at him before walking even faster.
Tang Chen said quietly to the side, "Your granddaughter is going through a rebellious phase. There's nothing you can do about it."
Thousand Waves was speechless, "She's nearing thirty and still in a rebellious phase? She's already grown up."
"It's you two who haven't grown up," Poseissi passed by them with a snap, making his assessment.
This caused both Thousand Waves and Tang Chen to involuntarily look down at themselves in silence.
"I think... it's not too small, right?"
...
The Gua Sha Masters gradually gathered, and the stands around them once again became packed with a sea of people.
Emperor Xueye, leading the Little Snow Maiden and her sister, walked forward. The terrifying coldness caused everyone to clear a path for them. The Little Snow Maiden was anxious; she needed to get close to Lin Yi to confirm that Emperor Xueye had indeed completed his task yesterday.
This mother is as naive as a blank sheet of paper, not yet having as much human emotional experience as Queen Medusa. It must be said that this was truly an absurd soul-swapping experience; one had never seen a two-day-old child having to worry about the love lives of the parents' generation.
Emperor Xueye, in his beggar attire, and Dai Ben arrived at the scene almost at the same time.
Zhu Zhuyun was holding a rope, the other end of which was tied to Ying Wei, who was bound into a twist and could only hop like a zombie to move. Ying Wei's mouth was tightly wrapped, and to those unaware, he really looked like a zombie.
Sect Master Ning and Chen Xin stood with Gu Rong and Emperor Xueye in between, positioned far apart as if they were at opposite ends of the world.
Just then, a gold-level space-time portal and a silver space vortex opened at the same time. Ju Zi (Orange) emerged from one, covered in dirt. Yesterday, an error occurred while modifying the soul artillery battery, and the gunpowder ignited right in front of her. Thankfully, she reacted quickly. There was no help for it; she had to stay up all night to develop a new soul artillery battery, leaving Ju Zi (Orange) with no time to wash up or change into a fresh set of clothes.
From the other side of the silver vortex came Gu Yuena and others.
Gu Yuena still wore a face of haughty chilliness, her figure and good looks the most outstanding presence there.
Di Tian, Zi Ji, and Wang Qiu'er followed behind. When it was Bi Ji's turn to come out, a chorus of childish chirping and shouting came from behind, with the Calabash Brothers reluctantly calling out "Mommy."
Bi Ji could only comfort them one by one, and at the end, she had to hold the youngest Purple Baby to soothe her for a while.
To this, Gu Yuena and the others were quite vexed, seeing as Bi Ji herself was like a child, yet she had to take care of seven children at the same time.
After separating from the children, Di Tian prepared to comfort Bi Ji by putting an arm around her shoulder, only to be slapped to the ground by Gu Yuena. The domineering woman pulled Bi Ji to her side. Di Tian, covering his cheek, stood up dejectedly, while Zi Ji seized the opportunity to walk over and wrap an arm around his shoulder, offering consolation, "Don't cry, boss. There are better girls out there, like me."
Di Tian hadn't planned on crying, but now tears sprang forth directly.
Inside the cabin.
Lin Yi kicked open the door and went out, his mood slightly embittered by the prospect of going to work.
"Mommy, I want to go say hello to Daddy."
Little Snow Maiden turned her head and whispered to Emperor Xueye.
Emperor Xueye hesitated, but still nodded her consent. She let go of Little Snow Maiden's hand and silently raised her hand to cover her eyes.
She somewhat dreaded what would happen next, fearing if Lin Yi ignored his daughter, she wouldn't know what to do, even picturing Lin Yi's indifferent face and Little Snow Maiden's disappointed turn of her head.
A crisp, loud voice soon echoed at the scene.
"Daddy! Good morning, Daddy!"
Little Snow Maiden ran joyfully towards Lin Yi. She spread her tender arms, her silhouette youthful and happy.
Gu Yuena and the others looked on dumbfounded, not understanding why Little Snow Maiden was being so direct today, and why even Emperor Xueye didn't stop her.
Could it be related to the night that Emperor Xueye and the others spent in Soul City? Gu Yuena had specifically noted the scene before she left yesterday.
"Good morning, Daddy."
The Little Snow Maiden stopped in front of Lin Yi, tilting her head up with little snowflakes floating around her, her round, chubby face delicate and adorable.
Lin Yi looked down at her and then naturally squatted down to pick her up: "Good morning, little Queen."
Queen was the name Little Snow Maiden had publicly chosen for herself, so Lin Yi calling her that did not reveal her identity.
Although Little Snow Maiden was confident, she was still surprised that Lin Yi truly accepted her. She nodded in his arms, giving a firm hum of agreement.
Emperor Xueye lowered her hand that covered her eyes and excitedly covered her mouth. In her heart, gaining Lin Yi's recognition seemed more difficult than anything else.
"Daddy?"
"What is it?"
Little Snow Maiden tried calling out again and, receiving Lin Yi's response, showed a happy smile on her face: "Nothing! Daddy is really handsome!"
Darn, the Queen hadn't thought about what to say when being held.
Queen Medusa felt somewhat flustered inside; honestly, this was her first time being held by a man, and even though the situation was special, it felt strange.
Those who knew Little Snow Maiden's true identity tacitly chose not to expose it, as Lin Yi must have had his reasons for doing this; even if they had doubts, they dared not voice them.
Lin Yi, holding Little Snow Maiden in his arms, climbed up to the stands and smiled, "Then let's have you start the first attack today, how about that?"
