Chapter 935: 802, it's Chen Xin's turn to attack_1
She had just mistakenly missed the point...
However, faced with Qian Renxue, the Angel God was unable to take any retaliatory action against her and could only look towards Thousand Waves.
"Don't even look at my grandfather!"
Qian Renxue, with her acute senses, immediately caught the Angel God's glance. She knew the Angel God was about to turn her grandpa into a scapegoat again.
"Grandpa, you should stay out of this for now, let me handle it."
Qian Renxue pushed Thousand Waves into the crowd, a move that instantly brought tears to his eyes. There was a time when he thought he would only be protected by his granddaughter once she became a god, but he hadn't expected the abilities bestowed by Lin Yi to fast-track this process.
Now, Qian Renxue also had the capability to handle things on her own, which made Thousand Waves feel very comforted.
Thousand Waves cast an apologetic glance at the Angel God, "Sorry, I really can't control this granddaughter of mine. Please, would you discipline her for me?"
Having said that, he walked indignantly into the crowd, leaving the Angel God standing there, dumbfounded.
"Hey, that old fox. He clearly knows you can't discipline Qian Renxue but he says it anyway!"
The Sea God stood by, indignant on behalf of the Angel God.
Poseissi had a subtle expression; she found it hard to intervene in the situation, torn between a close friend and the gods who had been gracious to her, so she thought it best to remain silent.
Although Poseissi knew that if she just spoke up, Thousand Waves would immediately return the Divine Artifact to the Angel God and also owe her a favor.
But gaining a benefit at the expense of a friend's loss was something Poseissi couldn't do.
Witnessing the hesitant Angel God, the Sea God egged on, "Angel sister, if the Artifact Spirit doesn't recognize you as its master, that's one thing, but since it does, we have to take back the sword. What's there to be afraid of? Just confront her!"
The Angel God turned to look at the Sea God, "You want to watch me strip dance tomorrow, is that it?"
"I... Nonsense! Absolute nonsense! How could I possibly?!"
The Sea God's expression suddenly changed and he even silently stepped back a few paces, probably instinctively anticipating the Angel God would lash out. This was almost becoming a muscle memory.
But the Angel God didn't make a move. In the end, she was defeated by Qian Renxue who was standing tall and proud, not because her chest wasn't as big as the other's, but because she really didn't want to strip dance.
"Fine... let's go."
The Angel God turned to leave but then heard Qian Renxue calling from behind, "Wait!"
"What now?"
Qian Renxue frowned, "If you leave, the Artifact Spirit still won't listen to me. Give it an order, tell it there's a change of master, and to listen to me."
The Angel God scoffed coldly, "Me giving up the Holy Sword without a fight is already me giving you face. Don't push your luck!"
"Calm down, Angel sis, take it easy!"
"Get lost!"
The Sea God tried to intervene, but was kicked to the side by the furious Angel God. Looking at the Sea God lying on the ground, Poseissi, unable to bear it, stepped forward to help him up.
The Sea God scolded Poseissi, "Isn't Thousand Waves your good friend? Why not persuade him? Poseissi, I'm very disappointed in you."
Poseissi helplessly bowed her head, "Sorry."
"I'm beyond your grandfather! Don't bully Xi Xi!"
Seeing Poseissi appearing submissive in front of the Sea God, Thousand Waves' temper flared in an instant. He and Tang Chen, hammer in hand, were about to rush over, two lovebirds incensed on behalf of their beloved women, when they were collectively stopped by the guest elders en route.
The scene was becoming more and more chaotic... Lin Yi slightly furrowed his brow, contemplating whether or not to step in and stop this farce.
"Fine, you can go!"
Qian Renxue, seeing her grandfather looking ready to fight it out with the Sea God, didn't want to escalate the situation and reluctantly let the Angel God leave.
The Angel God snorted coldly and, taking the Sea God with her, left the place.
Having been inexplicably scolded, Poseissi was a bit frustrated inside. She glared at Thousand Waves from a distance before finally returning to the crowd.
Meanwhile, Qian Renxue looked somewhat at a loss as she hesitated to step forward and asked the Holy Sword's Artifact Spirit, "You, you, you... Why don't you follow your recognized master?"
The Artifact Spirit held its head high and replied indifferently, "My master no longer has the desire to recognize me."
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up at these words, "Then do you want to recognize me as your master?"
"No."
"..."
Qian Renxue then pointed at the Holy Sword that was stuck in the ground, "If you're not going with your master, and you're not recognizing me as your master, then just act as if nothing happened and go back into the sword."
"Not going."
The Artifact Spirit's response was extremely aloof.
Qian Renxue was speechless.
With the Artifact Spirit just standing there, she didn't even dare to touch the Holy Sword. When she had just tried to touch it, the Artifact Spirit turned its head and glared at her fiercely, as if it was about to devour her, which frightened Qian Renxue enough to retract her hand.
"What's your name?"
Qian Renxue tried to make conversation, but the Artifact Spirit stopped talking and stood ramrod straight with its eyes closed, as if it was petulantly standing in punishment.
"Damn."
Qian Renxue cursed and too lazy to bother further, turned her head and walked back into the crowd. Thousand Waves could only step forward to clean up this mess, but just like his granddaughter, he would receive an angry glare from the Artifact Spirit whenever he touched the Holy Sword, as if it was about to pounce on him the next second.
Dai Ben couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Now this is a sight, first we had Thor's Hammer unclaimed, and now we have a Divine Artifact and an Artifact Spirit with the strength of a Level Two Plane unclaimed."
Zhu Zhuyun rolled her eyes at him, "What's it to you?"
"Thor's Hammer is my reward!"
Dai Ben responded hysterically.
"Uh..."
She had indeed forgotten about this detail.
Lin Yi did not bother with the situation anymore, only turning to Chen Xin to say, "Is it your turn to attack next?"
Chen Xin nodded, "I can!"
Since he had just acquired the Artifact Spirit, it might as well make its appearance in the battle.
"Master, is it time for us to attack?"
"Right."
Upon hearing this, Chen Bi took Chen Xin's hand and walked towards the stands, looking for all the world like he was leading his child. Yet the vast age difference in their appearances offered a stark contrast.
But Chen Xin truly felt like Chen Bi was an elder. Although the other called him master, he didn't look at him with the perspective of seeing a "subordinate," but rather with an inexplicable sense of respect.
"Having lived for more than three million years, I suspect I've become rather set in my ways. But this matter concerns the Chen Family; master, we should not interfere," Chen Bi advised Chen Xin as they passed the Holy Sword's Artifact Spirit.
"Okay... Will you be supporting me in the attack later?"
Chen Bi turned back with a smile, "As the master wishes, though supporting is only one of my abilities. As I said just now, I can also attack on my own. I possess several powerful skills; it's just whether they will meet the master's expectations or not."
"From now on, better you call me Chen Xin... Calling me 'Master' feels strange. After all, the ancestors of the Chen Family were all brought up under your watchful eye, right?"
"Understood, Chen Xin."
As Chen Bi turned back, the smile on his face made Chen Xin feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.
