499. Giving Away Domain

“Heh,”

Qian Renjue chuckled as he raised his hands and gently held the soft, delicate hands of his mother and sister on his face.

Not knowing how to explain, he could only respond vaguely,
“I guess I’m just lucky.”

Hearing this, the mother and daughter exchanged glances, their beautiful eyes filled with mild reproach, but they didn’t question further.

Qian Renjue had always been like this since he was young. They had long accepted it as normal.

Ling Yuan respectfully stepped forward, holding two soul bones in her hands.
“Your Majesty, these two soul bones are a right arm bone and a left arm bone.”

“Alright.”

Bibi Dong glanced at them briefly before turning to Qian Renjue.
“Jue, since your sister and I already have full soul bone sets, you should decide what to do with these.”

“That’s right. One of them is perfect for you,” Qian Renxue agreed, pointing to the blue right arm bone, which came from the Sky Azure Bull Python.

“…”

Qian Renjue looked at the two soul bones, then glanced at the little rabbit still crouching on the ground.

After a brief pause, he made his decision. Letting go of Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue’s hands, he accepted the soul bones from Ling Yuan and walked toward Xiao Wu and her group.

“Jue?”

Qian Renxue looked puzzled, exchanging a confused glance with Bibi Dong. Both of them sighed helplessly but didn’t intervene.

“Little rabbit!”

Qian Renjue called softly.

Xiao Wu immediately stood up, twisting her body playfully as she quickly locked her gaze on him.

“Your Highness, is there something you need from Xiao Wu?”

“These two soul bones are for you,” Qian Renjue said with a smile, tossing the two soul bones toward her.

“Ah?!”

Xiao Wu caught the soul bones in a daze. Qian Renjue’s words also made Ah Yin and the others look up in surprise.

Ning Rongrong, staring at the soul bones in Xiao Wu’s arms, asked in confusion,
“Brother Holy Son, these are hundred-thousand-year soul bones…”

Even Ice Empress couldn’t help but wave her pincers and remind him,
“Qian Renjue, these are hundred-thousand-year soul bones! Absorbing them would let you break through level 90 much faster! Snow Empress is still waiting for you!”

“I know, and I won’t keep her waiting for long,” Qian Renjue replied with a calm smile.

That warm smile caused Zhu Zhuqing, Hu Liena, and the other girls to feel a pang in their hearts.

After all, even ten-thousand-year soul bones were rare treasures of great value, let alone hundred-thousand-year ones! These were priceless relics.

And yet, he was giving them away just like that?

Such extravagance!

But somehow, this lavish act made him even more charming to them.

Xiao Wu, recovering from her shock, hurriedly ran up to Qian Renjue, trying to return the two soul bones.

“Your Highness, you should absorb them. Xiao Wu has no use for them right now.”

“You may not need them now, but you can keep them for later,” Qian Renjue said with a light laugh, gently ruffling Xiao Wu’s hair. He continued softly,
“All we need are the soul rings. You keep the soul bones.”

“In the future, your two good little brothers can become your ‘left arm and right arm.’ Isn’t that better?”

“…”

Seeing this scene, aside from Xiao Fei Die, who remained clueless, the other girls were already numb with disbelief.

No one would believe it if they told others—someone here was actually giving away two hundred-thousand-year soul bones!

“‘Left arm and right arm’…”


Xiao Wu's crimson eyes sparkled with a faint glow, clearly moved by the significance of Qian Renjue's words.

It seemed to carry a special meaning.

Just as his voice trailed off, Qian Renjue himself became slightly distracted when he heard a mechanical voice from the system, calm and steady.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully spreading great love for the first time! (Recipient: Da Ming)]
[Reward obtained: Delay Domain – Talent Seed!]

[Congratulations to the host for successfully spreading great love for the first time! (Recipient: Er Ming)]
[Reward obtained: Gravity Domain – Talent Seed!]

[Talent Seed]: Plant it within yourself to gain a corresponding domain talent!

Qian Renjue raised an eyebrow in surprise.
“Is this a blessing in disguise? Or perhaps it's more accurate to say you must give to gain.”

Returning to his senses, he glanced down at the two entangled brothers, Da Ming and Er Ming, both of whom looked at him with gratitude. However, what caught Qian Renjue’s attention more was their current form—a monkey wrapped in a snake with a bull’s head.

The odd combination reminded him of a blurry image from his memories.

“Alright, little rabbit, put away the soul bones.” Qian Renjue gently urged.

“Okay, thank you, Your Highness!”

Without further insisting, Xiao Wu stored the soul bones in her Beastmaster Collar, then grabbed Qian Renjue’s hand, lifting her chin confidently.
“I’ll just hold on to them for now. If you ever need them, Your Highness, Xiao Wu will give them back right away!”

“If that day comes, I won’t be polite,” Qian Renjue chuckled, nodding.

After speaking, he ruffled Xiao Wu’s hair gently and glanced around at the surrounding girls, deep in thought about the best use of the Talent Seeds.

“Jue, what’s wrong? Why are you spacing out? Don’t tell me you’re feeling regretful?” Qian Renxue teased, stepping forward and pinching her spendthrift brother’s cheek.

“No, of course not,” Qian Renjue replied with a laugh, shaking his head. After all, Xiao Wu was one of his own, so how could he regret it?

Bibi Dong, holding Xiao Fei Die's hand, walked over with a gentle smile.
“In that case, shouldn’t you take us home now?”

“Mom, just wait a little longer,” Qian Renjue replied with a mysterious smile, then turned toward Zhu Zhuqing and beckoned.
“Zhuqing, come over.”

Zhu Zhuqing immediately approached, standing respectfully before Qian Renjue and Qian Renxue.
“Teacher…”

“Mm, today your teacher has another gift for you,” Qian Renjue said warmly.

With a gentle smile, he raised his hand and lightly touched Zhu Zhuqing’s forehead.

She stood quietly, feeling a warm, soothing sensation spread through her as if it filled her entire being.

“Meow—!”

A loud cat’s cry echoed across the lakeside as a purple Nether Spirit Cat leapt out from Zhu Zhuqing’s body, shrouded in a green glow. Its face overlapped with Zhu Zhuqing’s, and a green dragon scale-like horn grew on its forehead.

Buzz!

A green domain expanded outward, enveloping everyone, including Bibi Dong.

“Teacher, what… what is this?” Zhu Zhuqing asked in amazement, looking down at her hands, feeling as though she now had control over everything.

“This is…”

Before Qian Renjue could finish speaking, Da Ming’s eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed,
“How is this possible? That’s my innate domain—my Delay Domain!”

“Domain?!” Ning Rongrong, Hu Liena, and the others gasped in unison.

“Teacher…” Zhu Zhuqing stammered, looking at Qian Renjue in disbelief.

“Haha, yes, it’s indeed Da Ming’s domain,” Qian Renjue admitted openly, gently patting Zhu Zhuqing’s head.
“The Delay Domain allows you to manipulate the speed of enemies. It suits you well—use it wisely.”

“Thank you, Teacher! Zhuqing won’t let you down!” Zhu Zhuqing’s eyes shone with gratitude, almost moved to tears.

An external soul bone and an innate domain—these were things most soul masters could only dream of their entire lives. Yet she had obtained them all in just two days.

It was unimaginable!

She felt that she had to find a way to repay her teacher. Glancing at Bibi Dong and the others, she bit her lip and suppressed the urge to give a return gift for now.
