Chapter 203: 199. Trial
-
Inside the carriage, Hu Liena, who had played hard last night, was sleeping deeply with her head resting on Qian Renxue's lap.
She murmured "senior brother" in her sleep.
Qian Renjue's warm and broad palm rested on her tender face, with his thumb replacing the pacifier that Hu Liena was sucking on intermittently.
Qian Renjue stroked her, allowing her to bite and suck.
At the same time, he endured the persistent teasing of Ah Yin, who had finally emerged from his clothes.
The leaves of Ah Yin were playfully teasing him.
"Alright, that is good enough. I don't want to let you suck blood right now," Qian Renjue waved his hand, brushing away the leaves used by Ah Yin as her mischief.
"I understand, Master~" Ah Yin's soft, enchanting voice came from Qian Renxue's heart.
"Pull my clothes back." Qian Renjue glanced at his open garment and made a gesture.
Rustling sounds followed.
Ah Yin used the branches to tidy up Qian Renjue's clothes.
The carriage fell into silence.
Aside from the sound of the wheels turning outside, only breathing could be heard.
Qian Renjue leaned against the soft backrest and exhaled deeply.
He was quietly pondering the current situation.
Immortal herb field had fell into his hands.
Xiao Wu had returned home, and Ah Yin was now a slave.
The Strength clan had fallen, and the Heaven Dou Empire had a new (hidden) ruler.
Could Tang Hao and his son continue smoothly as before?
Qian Renjue felt both anticipation and concern.
Concerned about any major changes he was unaware of.
"Even if there are changes, I still hold the advantage for now," Qian Renjue murmured to himself.
Currently, the only noticeable change was the near-extinction of the Strength clan.
The impact of this would only be seen years later.
During this initial period, Qian Renjue still had the advantage of foresight, and this was his time to grow stronger!
---
Two days later, in Spirit City.
Just as he got off the carriage, Qian Renjue, holding Hu Liena's hand, instinctively looked for the noble and dignified figure he was accustomed to.
But he saw no sign of her.
He frowned in confusion.
"Hm?"
"Your Highness, welcome back."
Chrystanthemum Douluo greeted respectfully with a single hand over his chest and a bow.
"Yes, Elder Chrystanthemum, please be at ease."
Under the request of Ling Yuan and considering the image of the Holy Son, Qian Renjue had already dropped his childhood titles.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Chrystanthemum Douluo stood up.
He waved his hand, and someone immediately took away the carriage that Ling Yuan had used.
Hu Liena, however, asked the question that was on Qian Renjue's mind.
"Elder Chrystanthemum, why hasn't the teacher come? She used to personally pick up senior brother."
Chrystanthemum Douluo smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty is in closed-door training."
"Closed-door training?"
Qian Renjue frowned.
Why would Bibi Dong be in closed-door training now?
He immediately asked, "When did the teacher start her closed-door training? Where is she?"
Chrystanthemum Douluo answered truthfully:
"Immediately after receiving news of Your Highness's return, she began her training in the secret chamber under the Pope's Palace."
"Secret chamber?"
Qian Renjue was somewhat surprised.
That place, even though it had been renovated, was rarely visited by her.
Thinking of the Rakshasa God's Trial, Qian Renjue turned to Hu Liena and Ling Yuan.
"Sister Ling, you and Nana go back first. I'll go check on the Pope's Palace."
"Understood, senior brother."
Hu Liena nodded obediently.
"Your Highness, I will accompany you as well. Ling Yuan still needs to report to Her Majesty."
Ling Yuan Douluo responded respectfully.
Hearing their conversation, Chrystanthemum Douluo showed a hint of hesitation.
He cautiously reminded:
"Your Highness, Her Majesty instructed that no one is to disturb her."
"Don't worry, Elder Chrystanthemum. I have my sense of propriety."
Qian Renjue's tone was gentle, but his eyes showed strong conviction and some concern.
Qian Renjue knew Bibi Dong well and had confidence.
Even if she was busy, she would still find time to wait for his return.
Chrystanthemum Douluo hesitated slightly.
Thinking of what Bibi Dong had said before closing her training, that she would come out before Qian Renjue's return, he nodded in agreement.
"Your Highness, please follow me."
"Mm."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly.
Watching Chrystanthemum Douluo dismiss other spirit masters and lead him toward the Pope's Palace, he quickly arrived at the dim secret chamber door.
Ghost Douluo stood outside like a statue, guarding the only entrance.
Upon seeing Qian Renjue, he immediately started to salute.
"Your Highness!"
"There's no need for formalities, grandpa Ghost."
Qian Renjue smiled and placed a hand on Ghost Douluo's shoulder.
Chrystanthemum Douluo urged:
"Old Ghost, quickly open the door."
"Open the door?"
Ghost Douluo glanced at Qian Renjue, nodded, and without further questioning, turned and opened the secret chamber door.
"If Your Highness needs anything, just let us know."
"Mm, thank you, Elders."
Qian Renjue smiled slightly and walked into the secret chamber.
The long corridor felt colder as he walked further inside.
Qian Renjue's eyes glowed with a white light, and his heart grew heavy.
The "Divine Oracle Reverse Mark" on his forehead was faintly visible, sensing a divine power in the air.
"Is she undergoing the Divine Trial?"
After walking a few more steps, Qian Renjue lightened his steps and quickly reached the main chamber.
On the stone bed lay a graceful figure, resting sideways.
She was holding the flower that Qian Renjue had given her and seemed to be holding a pendant from her snowy neck in her mouth.
Her scepter and crown had fallen to the ground.
Qian Renjue saw clearly.
Bibi Dong's face was somewhat distorted, and her breathing was much weaker than usual.
Her forehead was wrapped in dark purple divine power.
"Mom."
Qian Renjue immediately stepped forward without any hesitation.
Seeing the recurring hatred on Bibi Dong's face, Qian Renjue guessed that this might be an illusion-type trial.
And the content of this trial was likely related to this place!
Looking at Bibi Dong curled up, Qian Renjue felt a pang of sympathy.
He gently wiped the cold sweat from her brow.
The skin was icy to the touch.
According to Chrystanthemum Douluo, Bibi Dong had been struggling in the illusion for two days.
Qian Renjue sat by the stone bed.
He placed Bibi Dong's head on his lap and softly instructed:
"Ah Yin, it's time to get to work."
"Yes, Master~"
As soon as Qian Renjue's words fell, Ah Yin emerged from his clothes, taking on a human form and kneeling behind him.
Her form was somewhat translucent.
"Begin."
Qian Renjue said no more, slightly pulling open his clothes to reveal his pale neck.
"Master~ I will be gentle."
Ah Yin couldn't help but swallow, embracing Qian Renjue from behind.
Her cheeks were flushed with excitement.
Her lips revealed two sharp fangs.
The sharp teeth, glowing green, pierced Qian Renjue's skin without causing any pain.
Strands of blood flowed out and were absorbed by Ah Yin.
Qian Renjue frowned.
He guided Ah Yin's hands to Bibi Dong's forehead.
"Don't forget to do your job."
"Mm~"
Ah Yin greedily sucked Qian Renjue's blood, while her first and second soul rings lit up.
The endless soul power was converted into life force.
Blue Silver Fragrance, removing all negative states.
