— Chapter 359 —
After relaxing in the hot spring within the Poison Palace, Yunlong returned to the Bright Spirit Palace and was “suddenly.” welcomed by a familiar white-haired oldie.
He smiled and said, “How are you, Gramps.”
Qian Daoliu rolled his eyes when hearing Yunlong’s greeting but still laughed. He shook his head because the young kid he used to know three years and a half ago had become a complete monster and a god-king.
“I’m fine, though my lifespan was cut in half after the Sun and Moon tried to drop a god-killing spear at the Angel God’s Trial Ground.”
“Also, why did you call me, Gramps?”
Yunlong shrugged and returned, “Is there something wrong with it? We aren’t related by blood, but that doesn’t mean our relationship is cut short compared to the rest.”
“Of course, we eventually would become a family when I marry Renxue.”
“Tch.” Qian Daoliu clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.
“Like hell, I wouldn’t let you marry my adorable granddaughter.
“Is that so?” Yunlong answered with a chuckle.
“Do you hear that, mom?”
“Mom??” Qian Daoliu turned his head around in a hurry but couldn’t find Bibi Dong anywhere. He frowned and looked back at Yunlong, “You tricked me…”
“Hehe, my bad,” Yunlong said while crossing his arms. “But you do know that Renxue hears our conversation, right?”
Qian Daoliu huffed and haughtily responded, “Hmph! Dou think you could fool me twice?”
“Grandpa~!!” A sweet voice echoed from behind the Elder Priest. A powerful grip reaches Qian Daoliu’s sensitive left shoulder, making him winch in pain for a moment.
Qian Daoliue cursed Yunlong inside his heart because this brat tricked him well. He used the first distraction to catch him off guard and annoyed, waiting for Qian Renxue to appear out of nowhere.
Qian Renxue has been staying inside one of Yunlong’s tiny worlds for a day. She has established her divine power and become the first world lord, where she could grow stronger without getting limited by Douluo Dalu’s Universal Law.
As she woke up from her meditation, she obviously returned to the outside world.
“What happened here, Grandpa?” Qian Renxue put such a sweet expression on her face, but her voice was as cold as ice. “Care to explain things to me?”
Qian Daoliu trembled and nervously replied, “W-Well, I’m only talking about your pre-wedding plan with Yunlong here. Grandpa is worried about your future, you know? Just take a look at the messy world we currently live in.”
“Ah, I can’t even live peacefully like this.” He faked a cough.
However, Qian Renxue focused on her grandfather’s first point.
She blushed and mumbled, “W-Wedding…”
“Hehe, we skipped a few steps already, but the wedding with me in a bridal gown would be nice…”
“Hehe… Hehehe.”
“Yunlong, should we hold an engagement between us?” She suddenly said with sparkling eyes. She obviously doesn’t take no for an answer.
Yunlong felt the glare from Qian Daoliu and said, “We can have it now if you want. Both parties are in the same place, after all.”
“Mother, you can come out. Gramps might get fooled by it, but you can’t hide your presence from a god-king.”
“Then, I want to get mine first. Since we couldn’t hold a wedding, an engagement would be sufficient for now.” Bibi Dong walked out of the shadows.
Qian Daoliu’s expression becomes paler when hearing that because Bibi Dong is here the whole time. After guarding the Angel God’s Trial Ground for so long, He had underestimated his Daughter-in-Law’s strength again.
Yunlong had given them a ring in the past, which both ladies wore right now on their left hand’s 4th finger. He was amused because the piece of Life Gold within the ring grew alongside their strength.
He kneeled before Bibi Dong and said, “Bibi Dong, will you marry me?”
“What-!?” Qian Daoliu was stunned but couldn’t form a word as Qian Renxue shut his mouth with holy energy.
Bibi Dong presented her hand to Yunlong and replied, “Yes.”
Yunlong gently pulled her left hand and kissed it, giving the empress a sense of satisfaction. However, Bibi Dong cried out of happiness.
Usually, an engagement would get held in a “special.” place, but Yunlong is the only place Bibi Dong could feel comfortable in her entire life. Don’t get Bibi Dong wrong because she only needs her beloved son in this world to live peacefully.
[Ding! Bibi Dong has achieved Divine Enlightenment]
[There is a slight chance she could condense another divinity and reach God-King’s Realm]
Bibi Dong kissed Yunlong on the lips and slowly became one with him, leaving some specks of light dust. She entered one of Yunlong’s tiny worlds like Qian Renxue before.
“Is she also…” Qian Renxue mumbled in surprise. After experiencing Yunlong’s world, she understood that the Thousand World Handkerchief holds more mystery than other martial souls.
That place is an empty heaven, which could help ones stabilize their divinity and reach a higher plane.
Even Qian Renxue’s supreme martial soul, seraphim, is nothing compared to Yunlong’s Thousand World Handkerchief.
Still, Qian Renxue swayed her head away and pouted because her mother was always the number one in Yunlong’s heart. It’s hard saying that she wouldn’t be jealous, but there is nothing she can do about it.
“Hmph, his mother complex is beyond help.” She grumbled while feeling someone pulling her cheeks.
“What’s up with this adorable pout?”
Yunlong shook his head and kneeled again, “Don’t be too mad.”
“Do you remember our conversation when you think I was drowning the ice and fire yin-yang well? I won’t die, never for you. And today is the proof.”
“Qian Renxue…”
“Will you be my wife?” Yunlong’s gentle voice is like music to Qian Renxue’s ears. Her heart skipped many beats as she was stunned by his passion.
“F-Fine, be proud you could get a pretty lady like me to be your wife.” She replied with a stutter.
“Mm, I’m glad you want to be mine.” Yunlong kissed her hand.
Qian Renxue peeked a little and saw how handsome Yunlong was, gulping nervously because this was more embarrassing than she thought.
“Let’s have dinner first-!”
Yunlong pulled Qian Renxue and kissed her lips without missing his chance to melt the tsundere down. Eventually, she would give up and act more honestly.
On the side, Qian Daoliu bit into his sleeve with tears running from his eyes because someone stole the precious granddaughter from him.
‘Aih, how nice to be young…’ He lamented while looking down.
…
…
The next day, Bright Spirit Empire triumphed when a loud booming sound as several helicarrier revealed themselves from the hidden spots. Lake and mountain broke one by one, exposing a flying fortress the lab had been inventing in the last three years.
“Damn, they are taking my ideas too seriously.” Yunlong sipped a cup of coffee with a bathrobe covering his body. He was standing on the balcony of Qian Renxue’s bedroom, enjoying the sight of a floating metal fortress.
Before Yunlong went to Sea God Island, he created a file on his phone, which recorded the incorporation of modern weapons with spirit energy and other fields possible for this empire. And he shared this inspiration (knowledge) with several scientists within the Bright Spirit Lab.
Since Yunlong didn’t want to “simply.” copy the Sun and Moon Empire’s technologies, he also imagined and invented some in his head. Of course, those inventions are just ideas from several anime and movies in his previous life.
“Maybe I should visit Marvel Universe in the future. It’s possible now with my three paths, but being there might create some problems.” Yunlong commented while stretching his neck. He turned around and saw Qian Renxue on the bed.
Last night was quite wild.
Qian Renxue was buried in a blanket and purred soundlessly with a happy smile. Her eyes twitched as Yunlong pinched her nose gently.
“Morning,” Yunlong said while caressing her hair.
Yawn~!
Qian Renxue pulled the blanket and lifted her face to reach Yunlong’s cheek. “Morning, hubby~!” She said affectionately, giving him an early peck.
“Hubby?” Yunlong smiled weakly.
“Mm, hubby.” She said while rubbing her eyes a little.
“You don’t like it? Don’t you think we could step more into our relationship?”
Yunlong realized what Qian Renxue meant and returned, “I see… You mean that way, huh? Well, you can call me that.”
“I heard some loud noise from outside. Are we going to attack the Sun and Moon Empire?” Qian Renxue looked outside.
Yunlong hugged her and answered, “Yes.”
“This is a great first step to reach a higher realm.”
“You sounded more like Bibi Dong for some reason.” Qian Renxue commented with a giggle.
“She should have returned outside soon, no?”
Yunlong nodded while sensing one of the worlds evolving more rapidly than others. It also released darkness and evil attributes that could make one’s heart insane.
However, Yunlong could feel a warm light in this darkness and evil.
[Bibi Dong has broken the Rakshasa Shackles]
[She has gained another divinity and formed a divine seat]
[Congratulations, Host]
[Bibi Dong has become the Goddess of Love]
