Chapter 182: 179. Mysterious Inheritance
[Congratulations to the host for successfully spreading great love for the first time! (Target: Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin)]
[Reward obtained: Jade Slip of Teachings!]
Just after escaping the turbulent waves of Qian Renjue, he stood in place, slightly dazed.
"Your Highness."
Ling Yuan immediately rushed to his side.
Hu Liena put away her martial soul and quickly approached, her face filled with concern.
"Senior brother, are you alright?"
Qian Renjue shook his head.
Suppressing his rapidly beating heart, he cleared his mind of the desires that had been stirred up.
He wiped away the slight moisture on his neck.
There wasn't a wound, as it had already been healed when Ah Yin's essence had soaked into his skin.
"Master~ Please wait for me."
Ah Yin stared at Qian Renjue with her blue eyes, which now had a hint of red in them.
There was a faint expectation in her gaze.
After speaking, Ah Yin turned and headed toward her true form.
At the same time, she instructed the Blue Silver King, "Little King, make sure to take care of them."
"As you command, my Emperor!"
The Blue Silver King came to its senses and respectfully complied.
As Qian Renjue and the others watched, Ah Yin melded back into her true form, and a soft, bright blue light spread out.
Under the influence of the Blue Silver Domain, the remaining life force in the air once again gathered toward the Blue Silver Emperor.
At the same time, the Blue Silver Emperor, which had originally grown several meters tall, suddenly began to shrink.
It reduced to just over a meter tall.
It was soon enveloped in blue light, appearing roughly the size of an adult.
Qian Renjue noticed something.
Within the blue light, there was a faint trace of his own blood.
Ah Yin was undergoing some kind of unknown transformation.
"Humans, thank you for escorting my Emperor back."
Not far away, the Blue Silver King looked at Qian Renjue.
Its mouth moved, and with a shake of its sturdy branches, a few fruits appeared from nowhere.
They rolled down the thick branches of the Blue Silver King, landing in front of Qian Renjue.
"Heh, no need to be so formal. We're all on the same side."
Qian Renjue smiled and waved.
"The same side?"
The Blue Silver King was momentarily stunned.
It glanced at the Blue Silver Emperor and then back at Qian Renjue, finding him quite curious.
With just a few words, it expressed a shallow kindness, and then the Blue Silver King fell silent again.
"Phew~"
Qian Renjue exhaled deeply.
Feeling somewhat exhausted, he lay down on the soft grass.
Without hesitation, he grabbed a fruit and took a couple of bites, finding it juicy and replenishing some of his blood energy.
Looking up at the two beautiful ladies above him, he instructed:
"Sister Ling, Nana, you should rest as well."
"Your Highness!"
Ling Yuan Douluo suddenly dropped to one knee,
"It is my fault for not protecting you well. Please punish me, Your Highness."
Hu Liena, who had just been about to sit down, froze for a moment.
Realizing what was happening, she quickly followed suit, kneeling beside Qian Renjue.
"Please punish us, senior brother!"
"…"
The Soft Bone Rabbit looked around, lifting its front hooves before lowering them back onto Hu Liena's shoulder.
Qian Renjue remained silent for a moment.
He rolled his eyes helplessly and said:
"Didn't I just save both of you earlier? Should I punish myself instead?"
Upon hearing Qian Renjue's words, Ling Yuan's heart felt warm but she couldn't find the words to respond.
"Alright, Sister Ling. Stand up."
Qian Renjue reached out and gently pinched the side of Ling Yuan Douluo's face.
Leaving a few red marks.
And a deeply blushing, tender face.
"T-thank you, Your Highness."
Ling Yuan Douluo slightly nodded, withdrew her knees, and sat down beside Qian Renjue.
Her head lowered, unable to suppress the shame in her heart.
Once again, His Highness had toyed with her.
Hu Liena, still kneeling in place, looked at Qian Renjue, who had closed his eyes to rest.
Blinking in confusion, she asked:
"Senior brother, what about Nana?"
"…"
Receiving no response, Hu Liena furrowed her brow and softly called out:
"Senior brother~"
"What is it? Who told you to interfere?"
Qian Renjue raised his hand to block the sunlight from above, smiling as he softly said:
"It's strange for a junior sister to protect her senior brother, don't you think?"
"Shouldn't it be the other way around?"
Qian Renjue moved his arm, leaving a small gap through which his purple eyes met Hu Liena's face.
"Hehe, how can that be?"
Hu Liena giggled as she knelt down and crawled to Qian Renjue's head.
She stretched out her legs.
With a playful smile, she said, "Nana should be protecting the Spirit Hall alongside senior brother."
"Then work hard."
Qian Renjue, following her lead, raised his head and laid it back down on Hu Liena's soft thighs.
"Squeak!"
(Xiao Wu will help too, Your Highness!)
The Soft Bone Rabbit excitedly hopped into Qian Renjue's arms, nuzzling him gently.
Ling Yuan Douluo took out a few medicinal pills.
She presented them to Qian Renjue: "Your Highness, these are blood-replenishing pills."
"Alright."
Qian Renjue slightly nodded, reaching out to accept them, but Hu Liena intercepted the pills.
"Thank you, Sister Ling, but I'll feed senior brother."
"Okay then."
Qian Renjue raised his arm to shield his eyes from the sunlight.
He began to check the reward he had just received from the system.
He hadn't expected that after so many years of nurturing Ah Yin, her true growth would come from a bit of warm blood.
[Jade Slip of Teachings]: It contains a potential complete legacy. The jade slip is divided into two parts, one for the 'Master' and one for the 'Disciple.'
By making a blood pact, the master can respond to the disciple's call and travel through space to impart teachings.
[Reminder]: The truth cannot be transmitted lightly!
Upon forming a contract, it is important to fulfill one's duty.
Human hearts are unpredictable, so the host is advised to choose carefully!
"Hmm?"
Qian Renjue raised an eyebrow.
Because a soft, round jade finger brushed against his lips, he slightly opened his mouth and swallowed the blood-replenishing pill.
Hu Liena blushed deeply.
Her senior brother had even bitten her finger before.
However, Qian Renjue had no time to pay attention to her, as he was marveling at the jade slip's ability.
It contained an unknown legacy.
And it had the miraculous ability to travel through space, though he wasn't sure if it was one-way or two-way.
As for the latter warning, Qian Renjue instinctively ignored it.
"It's not urgent right now."
Qian Renjue murmured softly.
He was only a Soul Emperor at the moment, with no time to take on a disciple.
He glanced at the jade slip in the system's space and closed his eyes to rest again.
Ling Yuan Douluo, with nothing else to do, knelt beside him as usual, massaging and relaxing Qian Renjue as she did after his sword practice.
…
It was unclear how much time had passed.
The Soft Bone Rabbit in Qian Renjue's arms had already run off.
It buried its head in the lush grass, munching happily like a harvester.
"Nom!"
(Yummy! Even though it doesn't taste as good as the Little Grass, it's still quite delicious!)
Whoosh!
A sudden gust of wind swept through the calm Blue Silver Forest.
Qian Renjue, still resting on Hu Liena's lap, suddenly heard the urgent cries of the rabbit in his ear.
"Squeak squeak!"
(Your Highness, your Highness! The small grass is about to take human form!)
"Human form?"
Qian Renjue lowered his arm and opened his eyes.
Together with Ling Yuan Douluo and Hu Liena, they all turned to look in the direction of the Blue Silver Emperor.
