308. Father Watches Over Daughter

Another half hour passed.

He guided Zhu Zhuqing in practicing throwing concealed weapons like the Bone Penetrating Needle and Money Darts.

Qian Renjue was about to take Ah Yin and return home.

He put away the Evil God’s Heart.

As he watched the voluptuous figure turn into a bloodline.

Zhu Zhuqing stood next to Qian Renjue, reluctantly waving her little hand at him.

“Goodbye, teacher.”

“Mm, the sun is almost setting. You should head home soon, too.”

Qian Renjue nodded with a smile.

He infused soul power into the ring on his right thumb, and his body turned transparent.

He retraced the path he had come from.

Due to the connection between the Dao Teaching Jade Slip, Qian Renjue didn’t need to use space jumps to come to Star Luo City.

That was also the case with the little rabbit.

However, Qian Renjue didn’t plan on going over there right now. He would wait until Tang San broke through.

“Mm~”

Zhu Zhuqing watched Qian Renjue leave.

She lifted her little hand to touch the six-winged pendant on her chest, a smile appearing on her face.

Her teacher was always by her side.

Zhu Zhuqing restrained her smile and cautiously activated her Purple Demon Eyes, scanning her surroundings.

She quickly retrieved the concealed weapons from the tree trunk.

And hurriedly left.

——————

In Spirit City, the setting sun cast its glow.

As Qian Renjue opened the door to the secret room, he saw Ling Yuan leaning outside.

She had short, neat hair and a strikingly alluring face.

Wearing a casual black long dress, her figure’s curves were on full display.

Her arms were crossed, and her full chest seemed about to burst out.

She was quite eye-catching.

At the same time.

Ling Yuan also heard the door opening and turned her head, staring at Qian Renjue with a hint of grievance.

“Sister Ling Yuan, why are you looking at me like that?”

Qian Renjue blinked innocently.

“Has Your Highness forgotten that Ling Yuan is your personal bodyguard?”

Ling Yuan stood up straight, her voice soft and melancholic.

“Of course, I haven’t forgotten. Sister Ling Yuan is also the Vice Palace Master of my Alchemy Hall.”

Qian Renjue closed the stone door of the training room with a smile.

“Then please bring Ling Yuan with you when you go out, Your Highness.”

Ling Yuan wrapped her arm around Qian Renjue’s.

She complained in a spoiled tone, “If Your Highness keeps running around, and something happens, the Pope will surely punish me.”

“That won’t happen. Mom isn’t that cruel.”

Qian Renjue glanced at her body, which was pressed tightly against his arm, and his expression turned a bit unnatural.

Ling Yuan Douluo pursed her lips and stood on her tiptoes, leaning in close to Qian Renjue’s neck.

Her charming face tilted upward as she breathed softly.

“Is Your Highness worried that Ling Yuan will tattle to Her Majesty the Pope?”

As she spoke.

Ling Yuan seemed to sense Qian Renjue’s reaction, her face flushed, and her body squirmed.

Her chest responded before she could, stiffening in the cool air.

“Uh, no, nothing like that.”

Qian Renjue, feeling uncomfortable, tried to pull his arm away, but Ling Yuan clung too tightly.

“Then, Your Highness, please take Ling Yuan with you.”

Ling Yuan bit her lip, her voice taking on a playful, almost coquettish tone.

Qian Renjue furrowed his brow, his breath slightly uneven.

Looking at Ling Yuan's flushed face, he lifted his hand to pinch her burning cheek.

He moved his index finger to her lips.

A dark thought arose as he tentatively pushed it inside.

“Mmm... Your Highness.”

Ling Yuan, caught off guard, let out a soft moan, her slightly parted lips already occupied by his warm finger.

Her face turned crimson, but she lightly bit the fingertip.

Though deeply embarrassed, she couldn’t help but gently lick it twice.

Her face seemed to reflect the colors of the evening sky.

Qian Renjue’s heart raced.

He looked at Ling Yuan oddly as he slowly withdrew his finger, which was now slightly wet.

“Is Sister Ling Yuan getting clingier?”

“I... I’m just fulfilling my duties.”

Ling Yuan finally released Qian Renjue’s arm.

She grabbed his damp fingertip, her face red and her heart racing, wiping it clean.

“All right.”

Qian Renjue didn’t dwell on it.

After all this time, besides that boundary, Ling Yuan had let him touch her in various ways.

Even if he was slow, he could sense her intentions.

“Then tomorrow, Sister Ling Yuan, you’ll come with me. I have some things to take care of.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Ling Yuan bit her lip and nodded slightly.

She didn’t ask for much. As long as she could stay by Qian Renjue’s side, that was enough.

The occasional touch was something she could savor for a long time.

That heart throbbingfeeling.

“Then let’s head out.”

Qian Renjue awkwardly retracted his hand and cleared his throat twice.

“Mm.”

Ling Yuan nodded, suddenly remembering something. She quickly took out a letter from her soul guide and handed it to Qian Renjue.

“By the way, Your Highness, this is intelligence from Soto City. Porcupine asked me to pass it on to you.”

“Oh? Soto City?!”

Qian Renjue paused and reached out to take the letter.

He wasn’t quite sure why Porcupine Doului and the others were still concerned about Soto City.

Qian Renjue thought that after taking over matters from Qian Renxue, his focus would only be on Heaven Dou City.

He opened the envelope and read the contents.

It seemed to clear up his confusion.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence, due to the third prince of the Star Luo Empire arriving there.

“Dai Mubai, huh.”

Qian Renjue furrowed his brow.

Originally, he didn’t have much ill will toward someone as irrelevant as Dai Mubai.

But now that he had taken Zhu Zhuqing as a disciple, he felt like a father watching over a boy he didn’t approve of. Nothing about him seemed right.

“Tch, whatever.”

“I’ll leave that for Zhuqing to handle herself.”

Qian Renjue calmly put the letter away.

When it came to matters of the heart, he preferred not to interfere too much. It was easy to mess things up.

Besides, he was confident.

Under his guidance, Zhu Zhuqing probably wouldn’t fall for such a paper tiger.

Ling Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

She caught the unfamiliar name Qian Renjue had mentioned.

Was this a new romantic interest in His Highness’s life?

No wonder there was a fragrance on His Highness that she hadn’t noticed before.

“All right, Sister Ling Yuan, let’s go. Mom should be back by now.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Ling Yuan followed closely behind Qian Renjue.

After some twists and turns, they stepped outside, where the evening sky was bathed in vibrant colors, stunningly beautiful.

Just as they were about to step through the courtyard gate.

Two smiling figures appeared in the distance.

“Senior Brother~”

Hu Liena, holding Bibi Dong’s arm, happily waved at Qian Renjue.

Bibi Dong softly gazed at Qian Renjue.

They had already tried out those concealed weapons, and they were quite good.

No wonder Jue had asked her for Gengxin City.

“Mom, Nana.”

Qian Renjue smiled warmly at them.

This life seemed rather pleasant—teaching students, spending time with loved ones.

It was more enjoyable than cultivation.

But Qian Renjue knew very well that to truly live this carefree life.

He would have to work hard for quite some time.

Qian Renxue had already embarked on the path to godhood.

Qian Renjue had a feeling that the so-called final battle might be pushed forward by his involvement.

“Jue, come here. Carry your mom inside.”

Bibi Dong stood at the door, assuming the stance of the Pope, ordering Qian Renjue.

————————

The next day.

After hearing Zhu Zhuqing’s call.

Qian Renjue took Ling Yuan and headed to Star Luo, to Zhu Zhuqing’s bedroom.
