Chapter 116: Qian Xunji: "My Toxic Family"
["Exactly. This is Spirit City, the core of our Spirit Hall. Did you think we didn't have any Soul Douluos here?"]
[A slightly effeminate voice rang out. A second later, a strange floral fragrance drifted into Yu Xiaogang's nose.]
[He looked toward the direction of the scent and saw two figures appear beside him.]
[One wore a platinum ceremonial robe adorned with many gemstones, looking exceptionally luxurious.]
[With long golden hair and an enchanting appearance, Yu Xiaogang was momentarily unable to tell if the person was male or female.]
[Beside this figure stood another who was as silent as a shadow. A dark mist shrouded his body, making it impossible to see his face clearly.]
["You are..."]
[The Blood Hand Boss's voice was filled with shock, as if he couldn't believe they would appear before him.]
["Yue Guan, Ghost Charm Soul Douluo, it's actually you two!"]
[Bibi Dong put on a show of "weeping with joy," causing the corner of Yue Guan's mouth to twitch involuntarily.]
["Yue Guan, and Gui Mei, why are you here?"]
["We clearly investigated and found that Qian Xunji only assigned one Soul Saint to protect his Disciple. Why did you two show up?"]
[The Blood Hand Boss roared, nearly having a breakdown.]
[For this operation, they had spent a full month investigating.]
[Originally, they wanted to strike when Yu Xiaogang acted alone, but for a month, Yu Xiaogang never left Spirit Master Academy except for Spirit Fighting.]
[And whenever he went to fight, Bibi Dong would inevitably be by his side.]
[Left with no choice, they had to take Bibi Dong into account as well.]
[Through their investigation, they found that Bibi Dong usually only had one Soul Saint protecting her.]
[It made sense; this was Spirit City, the heart of Spirit Hall. For Bibi Dong, there was no safer place in the world.]
[Even so, Qian Xunji still arranged for a Soul Saint to protect her, which showed how much he valued Bibi Dong.]
[The Blood Hand Boss had planned everything based on this.]
[But what was going on now? Shouldn't the one protecting Bibi Dong be a Soul Saint? How did it become Soul Douluos, and two of them at once?]
["How should I put this... the mission we received this time wasn't to protect Bibi Dong."]
[Yue Guan glanced at Yu Xiaogang with an unreadable expression.]
["The mission we received this time was actually to protect Yu Xiaogang."]
["Me?"]
[Yu Xiaogang pointed at himself, looking completely confused.]
[The Pope of Spirit Hall sent two Soul Douluos to protect him? What kind of strange development was this?]
["Hahaha, kid, you really don't know your own value right now."]
["The moment you chose to participate in Spirit Fighting and exposed your Soul Rings to everyone, His Holiness the Pope foresaw this would happen."]
["So His Holiness sent us here to protect you."]
["Understand now?"]
[Yue Guan said with a smile.]
["I see. Then I truly thank His Holiness the Pope for his concern."]
[Yu Xiaogang scratched his head, accepting Yue Guan's explanation.]
[Though he didn't quite understand Qian Xunji's specific intentions, Yu Xiaogang noted this kindness in his heart.]
[Seeing Yu Xiaogang's reaction, Yue Guan beamed. Beside him, Bibi Dong curled her lip, feeling a bit dissatisfied.]
[Hadn't Teacher already given her a task? To win over and seduce Yu Xiaogang so he would feel favorable toward Spirit Hall.]
[Why send two Soul Douluos to protect him now?]
["Could it be that Teacher is dissatisfied with my progress and thinks I'm too slow?"]
[This thought popped into Bibi Dong's head.]
[She knew her current pace was a bit slow, but the point was, could this kind of thing be rushed?]
["Hmph, wanting to rush through even this kind of thing... no wonder Teacher hasn't married at his age."]
["A person who doesn't understand feelings like him deserves to be single for life!"]
[Bibi Dong grumbled in her heart.]
White World, Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong's thoughts were broadcasted through the heavenly curtain.
The people inside the The Pope's Palace were silent for a moment, then one by one they covered their mouths, trying to stop themselves from laughing out loud.
Sitting on the papal throne, the former Pope Qian Xunji's face immediately darkened upon hearing Bibi Dong's thoughts.
Because even now, Qian Xunji had still not married.
Of course, as a Titled Douluo, if Qian Xunji wanted to find someone to marry, it would be very simple.
With just a word, Soul Masters wanting to marry him would line up from the The Pope's Palace to outside Spirit City.
It was just that Qian Xunji had very high standards.
He wouldn't even spare a glance at female Soul Masters below the Soul Douluo level.
But at the Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo levels, Soul Masters were already rare, let alone female ones.
Furthermore, Soul Masters at this level weren't the type Qian Xunji could just summon and dismiss at will.
Those female Soul Masters had their own requirements for a partner.
In any case, Qian Xunji had tried a few times, and not once had he succeeded.
So even now, while his Disciple Bibi Dong had been married for years, Qian Xunji, the teacher, remained single.
This caused Qian Daoliu to look at him with disdain every time they met.
"Your Holiness, if it really doesn't work out, you should lower your standards. You could definitely consider Soul Saint level Soul Masters."
"If female Soul Masters of that level knew it was you, they would definitely be much easier to talk to."
Dragon Scale Douluo suppressed his laughter and gave Qian Xunji a suggestion.
"Shut up!"
"Even if I really stay single for life, I will absolutely not lower my standards!"
"YOU shut up!!!"
Qian Xunji sharply rebuked Dragon Scale Douluo, but as soon as his voice fell, another voice full of anger rang out.
Hearing this voice, Dragon Scale Douluo and the others exchanged glances and hurriedly backed away.
Qian Xunji rose from the papal throne, his scalp tingling as he watched Qian Daoliu suddenly enter the The Pope's Palace.
"Father, you..."
"Shut up, don't call me father!"
Qian Daoliu arrived in front of Qian Xunji in a flash.
"You really are something else. Just like Xiaogang said, you actually intend to stay single for life."
"Are you planning to let the most excellent Bloodline of my Qian family end with you?"
Qian Daoliu said furiously.
Having said that, Qian Daoliu pointed to the empty space beside the papal throne.
"Go kneel over there and reflect on yourself!"
"Father, I..."
"Shut up, do as I say!"
Looking at his now unreasonable father, Qian Xunji suddenly felt exhausted.
How did his life end up like this?
His Disciple was spirited away by Yu Xiaogang.
The position of Pope was taken by his Disciple and Yu Xiaogang together, yet he still had to do the Pope's work.
And now, even his father had been won over by Yu Xiaogang, listening to that kid badmouth him all day long.
Thinking about his life over these years, Qian Xunji wanted to cry but had no tears.
He realized that Yu Xiaogang was the bane of his existence.
"So what if I was a little strict with you back then? Is it worth holding a grudge for so many years?"
Qian Xunji looked indignant, but Qian Daoliu's expression didn't soften in the slightest.
In the end, Qian Xunji could only follow Qian Daoliu's order and kneel in that empty space to reflect.
He was supposed to be reflecting, but in reality, an essay recounting his tragic life was already forming in Qian Xunji's mind.
If Yu Xiaogang could read this essay, he would probably help Qian Xunji title it 'My Toxic Family.'
