428. A Family Of Gods

"Not fighting...?"

Qian Renxue froze for a moment, then her expression lit up with realization and excitement.

"Does Jue mean making them willingly offer themselves as sacrifices?!"

"That's right."

Qian Renjue nodded confidently.

"Both Mom and Sister have the qualifications. After all, you two are destined to become gods!"

He stared intently at Bibi Dong.

A sharp gleam flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, but her brows quickly furrowed.

Soul beasts weren't so easy to negotiate with.

"What?!"

Ice Scorpion suddenly let out a shriek, staring incredulously at this family of three.

What had she just heard?!

Did Qian Renjue say his sister and his mother could both become gods?!

"Glup~"

Ice Scorpion swallowed nervously.

She raised her pincers and lightly touched Qian Renjue's earlobe, hesitating before calling his name for the first time.
"Qian... Qian Renjue, are you joking?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Qian Renjue rolled his eyes at her, then wrapped an arm around Qian Renxue's shoulders, proudly declaring,
"My sister! She’s the future Angel God!"

"She just completed the second trial of the Angel God Trial!"

"You... she..."

Ice Scorpion's pincers trembled as she struggled to decide whom to point at, unable to form coherent words in her shock.

So, when these siblings first mentioned the "second trial," they were talking about a god exam?

Is this family full of monsters?!

"..."

Qian Renxue chuckled softly, her lips curving into a smile as she gazed fondly at her brother, who was boasting about her.

"My mom, she’ll become a god too," Qian Renjue said, looking at Bibi Dong with gentle anticipation.

He eagerly awaited the day when they would all ascend together and dominate the continent!

"Jue, tone it down a little," Bibi Dong scolded lightly, rolling her eyes at her son
However, her face was full of smiles.

"Haha."

Qian Renjue couldn't help but laugh.

"Teacher also has a divine inheritance?"

Hu Liena stared blankly at Bibi Dong, only now realizing this fact.

Ling Yuan was equally stunned.

It wasn’t just Ice Scorpion— even someone like her, who was always by Bibi Dong's side, couldn’t contain her astonishment.

Bibi Dong smiled, gently ruffling Hu Liena's hair.

Then she turned to Qian Renjue and said,
"Jue, I understand what you're saying, but soul beasts are very difficult to communicate with."

"Mom, leave this to me," Qian Renjue said with unwavering confidence.

Qian Renxue clung to his arm and smiled at Bibi Dong.

"Jue already brought one back, didn’t he?"

"I..."

Ice Scorpion opened her mouth but found herself speechless.

If it weren’t for her elder sister’s involvement, she would never have willingly sacrificed herself to Qian Renjue.

"Exactly! Mom, all you need to do is wait," Qian Renjue declared earnestly, taking full responsibility for the task.

He firmly believed that with the little rabbit (Xiao Wu) acting as an intermediary, convincing soul beasts to sacrifice themselves wouldn't be too difficult.

And if a better option presented itself, he would consider it.

If all else failed, by the time it became necessary, his strength would already be sufficient to make most soul beasts submit.

Qian Renxue smiled knowingly at Qian Renjue. She understood his plans completely.

"Alright then," Bibi Dong said with a charming laugh.

"In that case, I’ll leave the remaining three soul rings for my second martial spirit to you."

"Absolutely!" Qian Renjue agreed without hesitation.

Although he had only secured two soul beasts so far, there were still many more in the ocean, weren’t there?

A faint, enigmatic gleam flickered in Qian Renjue's eyes.


"Second martial spirit?"

Ice Scorpion, overwhelmed, almost slipped off Qian Renjue's shoulder.

Now she finally understood.

No wonder she’s already a Rank 98 Titled Douluo at such a young age,
and even favored by a deity.

Turns out she has twin martial spirits!

For the first time, Ice Scorpion felt relief in her heart.

Thankfully, she hadn’t injured Qian Renjue.

Otherwise, not only would she have been doomed, but the Extreme North would’ve been destroyed along with her!

"Alright, enough talk, or the food will go cold," Bibi Dong said.

She glanced at Qian Renxue and Hu Liena, who were clinging to Qian Renjue from both sides, feeling a bit helpless.

Grabbing Qian Renjue by the collar, she started pulling him toward the pavilion by the pool.

"Let’s start eating."

"Mom, slow down... I already ate," Qian Renjue said, hurriedly releasing the two girls and following after Bibi Dong.


---

Qian Renxue, left with empty arms, couldn’t help but chuckle.

She patted Hu Liena on the head and said with a smile,
"What are you standing there for? Do you want me to invite you to the table?"

"N-no need, I’m coming!" Hu Liena stammered.

"Ling Yuan, you should join us too. You’ve worked hard," Qian Renxue added.

"This is just my duty," Ling Yuan replied softly.

"Duty? Heh." Qian Renxue chuckled teasingly but said no more, taking a seat beside Qian Renjue.

Ling Yuan pressed her lips together and followed silently.

If Miss Xue were willing to let her call her "Sister," Ling Yuan might feel shy but wouldn’t refuse.

At the table, Qian Renxue snatched the soup bowl from Qian Renjue’s hands and started drinking it herself.

"Sister!"

"Xiao Xue, couldn’t you wait~?" Bibi Dong complained.

Bibi Dong gave Qian Renxue a reproachful look and refilled a bowl for Qian Renjue.

"Mom, your daughter has been away from home for so long, and you don’t even think of feeding me first~," Qian Renxue said, her eyes filled with mock grievance.

"And you too, Jue!"

Before she could finish, Bibi Dong silenced her by placing a chicken wing in her mouth.

"Alright, Xiao Xue, how about I sit next to you? Will that make you happy?"

Bibi Dong said with a smile, standing up to change seats.


---

Hu Liena eagerly swapped places with her teacher, moving closer to Qian Renjue.

"Senior Brother, what do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you," Hu Liena offered sweetly.

But before Qian Renjue could answer, Ling Yuan had already started serving him.

After spending so much time together, how could she not know his preferences?

Hu Liena pursed her lips in slight frustration.


---

"Nana, Sister Ling Yuan, I’ve had enough already. I can handle it myself," Qian Renjue said, trying to avoid further pampering.

Ice Scorpion, observing the scene, fully grasped Qian Renjue’s status and felt even more relieved.

Qian Renxue, glancing at the two women, said nothing.

She leaned against Bibi Dong’s shoulder, holding Qian Renjue’s hand, and softly asked,
"Jue, has there been any progress with the Star Luo Empire? You mentioned we’d wait, and the time should be about right now, no?"

"Don’t worry, Sister, everything is ready," Qian Renjue replied confidently, placing Ice Scorpion on the table.

With a smile, he added,
"Since Sister is back, it’s perfect timing for you to come with me and take a look."

"Alright, I’ll wait for you," Qian Renxue said, curious about how Qian Renjue had resolved things.


---

Bibi Dong, feeding Qian Renxue, suddenly remembered something and said with a smile,
"By the way, Xiao Xue, Jue managed to get the Great Sumeru Hammer. I’ll teach you how to use it when we have time."

"The Great Sumeru Hammer?!"

Qian Renxue straightened up, shocked.

"Where did Jue get that?!"

The last time she came out of seclusion, she was already amazed by the hidden weapons he’d acquired.

"Of course, it was from Tang Hao," Qian Renjue said matter-of-factly.

"..."
