Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 157 Planning the Vast Ocean Universe Cover

After crying for half an hour, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong finally vented their frustrations. The two women were in a very good mood, especially Qian Renxue, who finally got what she wanted.

"Mom, you said that guy helped your martial soul evolve, can I take a look?"

Qian Renxue only now remembered that martial souls could actually evolve, so she immediately begged Bibi Dong to let her see the new martial soul.

"Xiaoxue, this will absolutely dazzle you."

"Buzzing..."

Bibi Dong released her first humanoid martial soul, along with nine soul rings: yellow, purple, black, black, black, and red.

"A humanoid martial soul, and its appearance is actually similar to yours? That's amazing, Mom, congratulations!" Qian Renxue was incredulous when she saw Bibi Dong's new martial soul.

"Hehe...! Let me show you my second martial soul. Before this martial soul evolved, I never dared to show it to others because it was just too ugly."

"Back then, I often thought, I'm so beautiful, but I'm given such an ugly martial soul. I feel disgusted when I see it myself, which makes me feel very inferior. Now Xiao Chen has perfectly solved this problem for me."

"Buzzing..."

At Bibi Dong's summons, a bewitching humanoid woman appeared. Behind her humanoid martial spirit were several spider spears, black, black, black, black, black, red, and eight dazzling spirit rings slowly rose, blinding Qian Renxue.

"My martial soul is called Spider Queen. Xiao Chen used several magical herbs to refine a magical pill that allowed my martial soul to evolve."

"Mom, you obtained two 100,000-year soul rings?"

"This was given to me by Xiao Chen. He said it was a soul ring bestowed by the gods."

"A divinely bestowed soul ring?"

"These are spirit rings made with divine power, without the need to hunt spirit beasts... and can last up to 10 years."

Qian Renxue had never heard her grandfather mention this before, so hearing Bibi Dong say it now was quite an eye-opener.

"Xiaoxue, I hope we can call each other sisters from now on and love each other like this, because when you call me Mom, I can't help but think of your beastly father."

"If only I could erase that memory, but unfortunately I'm just a mortal, I can't do it."

Bibi Dong slowly told Qian Renxue these things, making the girl understand her predicament.

"Okay! I'll do whatever you say, dear sister."

Qian Renxue understood her mother's hardships at this moment, so she hugged Bibi Dong tightly and kissed her on the cheek.

Qian Renxue doesn't have many requirements now. She just wants Bibi Dong to love her. As for what she calls her, it's not important. She's gotten used to calling her "sister" after all these years.

"Yes! Xiaoxue, this is good."

"Smack..."

Bibi Dong kissed Qian Renxue on the lips, letting her feel her love.

Qian Renxue felt incredibly sweet inside; it was such a wonderful feeling to be pampered by her mother.

In truth, Bibi Dong really hoped that this girl was her younger sister. Making her call her "older sister" now was just a way of comforting herself.

"Good sister, that little guy has helped you so much, how do you plan to repay him? You don't really want to... with him, do you? That wouldn't be right!"

Qian Renxue looked at the magical boy who was sleeping soundly on a big rock in the distance, and asked Bibi Dong with a smile.

"You brat, he's the son of an old friend. I'm friends with his parents, so I'm practically his elder. How could I do something like that?"

Bibi Dong gave Qian Renxue a charmingly disdainful look, pretending to be serious on the surface, but inwardly she was laughing: Hehe...! I had already made an appointment with him before, after becoming a god... Silly girl, you didn't expect that, did you?

"Although he is very outstanding, he is surrounded by beautiful women, so he seems a bit of a womanizer."

To be honest, Qian Renxue had a pretty good impression of that little guy. He was handsome, strong, and talented. In particular, he had the ability to make other people's martial souls evolve. This kind of method was too magical. He was simply a prodigy. However, there were a lot of beautiful women around him, which made Qian Renxue a little unhappy.

"There's nothing we can do. She was raised by the Shui sisters at Tianshui Academy since she was little. There are so many beautiful women there. She grew up with him, so it's normal for her to like him."

Bibi Dong didn't want Qian Renxue to take a liking to that little guy. She thought to herself, "That's my type. If you, little girl, come and join in the fun, what am I supposed to eat in the future?"

Moreover, Bibi Dong could tell that the little guy liked a gentle and kind beauty, even if she was a bit older. As for a proud and arrogant woman like Qian Renxue, who had an extremely strong desire for control and would readily take a sword to kill people, she probably wouldn't stand a chance.

"He's so young, and I'm almost ten years older than him, how could I possibly like him?"

"I am destined to become a god. He is just a mortal. Only a god is worthy of me."

Qian Renxue is a princess of the Spirit Hall in the true sense, with a noble status, and naturally she is unwilling to share a husband with other women.

"Hey! Xiaoxue, it's right that you think that way. You are the young master of the Spirit Hall with a noble status. You can't just like a boy with no status or position."

"If you like him, given your personality, you'll definitely make him leave Bing'er and the others."

"However, Shui Bing'er and her sister grew up with Xiao Chen since they were little. They are childhood sweethearts and it's impossible for them to be separated. If he can abandon Shui Bing'er and her sister for you, it proves that he is a fickle person who doesn't deserve you. So, Xiao Chen is actually not suitable for you."

Bibi Dong chuckled and advised Qian Renxue to try to prevent the girl from falling into a trap, so that she wouldn't have any trouble dealing with it later.

"You care about him so much, yet you portray him like this. I feel like you're lying to me."

Qian Renxue felt increasingly uneasy as she listened, sensing that Bibi Dong was deliberately trying to prevent her from having anything happen with that little guy.

"No, Xiaoxue, you're overthinking it."

"Let's go check on him, maybe the little guy has fallen asleep!"

Bibi Dong changed the subject, took Qian Renxue's hand, and together they strode towards Ye Liangchen's direction.

"Huh! Why is it blocking the way?"

At this moment, Ye Liangchen was lying on a smooth rock, counting a flock of birds flying in the sky, when suddenly his view was blocked by several mountain peaks, and he found that Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were looking down at him.

"Xiao Chen, what are you looking at?" Bibi Dong said with a smile, then reached out and pulled the guy up.

"Count the birds in the sky!"

Ye Liangchen watched as the two women, having vented their pent-up emotions over the years, beamed with smiles, like two blooming flowers.

"Ye Liangchen, thank you for everything you've done for my mother. What do you want in return? Tell me, and I'll help you."

Qian Renxue took the initiative to thank Ye Liangchen. Now that she had won Bibi Dong's love, she should thank this guy properly.

"There's no need to talk about repaying me. As a junior, it's only right that I help my godmother." Ye Liangchen waved his hand dismissively.

"By the way! Qian Renxue, I heard that the Heaven Dou Empire has a soul tool called the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. Can you get your hands on it?"

Ye Liangchen remembered the key to unlocking the Sea God's inheritance and planned to have Qian Renxue get it for him, saving him the trouble of doing it himself.

"The Vast Ocean Universe Cover? That's a national treasure of the Heavenly Dou Empire. What do you want it for?" Qian Renxue was quite surprised to hear that the little guy actually knew about the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

"What national treasure? That's just a soul tool."

"I won't take yours for nothing. If you help me get it, I'll give you two 30,000-year-old soul bones."

After Ye Liangchen finished speaking, he took out two 30,000-year-old arm soul bones from his soul tool and placed them in front of Qian Renxue.

"Buzzing..."

As soon as the soul bone appeared, it immediately emitted a powerful aura of soul power, and dazzling rays of light blinded the two women.

"Soul... Soul Bone?" Qian Renxue was stunned, not expecting that this little guy would have such a treasure.

"A soul bone of thirty thousand years, brat, you're something else!"

Bibi Dong felt that the ten-thousand-year soul bone prize she had prepared for the little guy was a bit unnecessary.

"Qian Renxue, how about it? You helped me get that Vast Ocean Universe Cover, and these two ten-thousand-year soul bones will be your reward." Ye Liangchen felt that he had made a huge profit by obtaining the Sea God's inheritance with just two ten-thousand-year soul bones.

"Ye Liangchen, a 30,000-year-old soul bone is too precious. Such a good soul bone cannot be given to the Heaven Dou Empire. I will find a way to help you get the Vast Ocean Universe Cover."

Qian Renxue didn't understand why this guy would steal the national treasure of the Heavenly Dou Empire. In her mind, that soul tool was not worth two 30,000-year-old soul bones.

"Qian Renxue, I asked you to help me get the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, so I'm giving you these two soul bones as your reward."

"Ye Liangchen, tell me, what do you need the Han Hai Qian Kun Cover for?"

"Well, to tell you the truth, Sister Na once told me that the Vast Ocean Universe Cover is the key to unlocking the Sea God's legacy. I want to get the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, and I plan to go and take a look later."

Ye Liangchen stopped hiding it and directly revealed the true purpose of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

"The Vast Ocean Universe Cover is actually a legacy of the Sea God? It's so precious! Do the people of the Heavenly Dou Empire know this?"

"Ye Liangchen, will you inherit the Sea God's legacy?"

Qian Renxue asked Ye Liangchen if this guy could become a god, which would also benefit her.

"They know nothing. In the entire Douluo Star, probably only Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo, knows, after all, she is the High Priest of Sea God Island."

"I will not inherit the Sea God's legacy. I plan to let either Sister Bing'er or Sister Yue'er inherit the Sea God's legacy."

Ye Liangchen has already been arranged by the Goddess of Life, so it's impossible for him to inherit the Sea God's position. Going to Sea God Island is also for the purpose of leveling up.

"If you're not going to inherit the Sea God title, why should I give it to you? I'll keep it for myself."

When Qian Renxue realized that this guy was using the Vast Ocean Universe Cover to unlock the divine inheritance for his girlfriend, she immediately became a little unhappy.

"Qian Renxue, you have a six-winged angel martial soul, and you still want to activate the Sea God's inheritance? Are you out of your mind?"

"The Spirit Hall once attacked Seagod Island and is an enemy. If your people go there, they will be killed by the Title Douluo on Seagod Island as soon as their identities are exposed."

"As for activating the Sea God's inheritance, not just anyone can do it. If your strength and talent are insufficient, the Sea God won't even look at you. I estimate that none of your Spirit Hall's young geniuses, even if they hide their identities, will be able to activate the Sea God's inheritance because their aptitude is insufficient."

Ye Liangchen directly pointed out that the Sea God's inheritance was useless to the Spirit Hall, and in fact, that was the case. Among the younger generation of the Spirit Hall, the only outstanding ones were Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue, and those three had no chance at all.

"Qian Renxue, if you're not going to help me, then forget I said anything. But I still want to remind you that you must find a way to get the Vast Ocean Universe Cover out. It can't be left in the Heaven Dou Empire. Otherwise, if it accidentally falls into the hands of some geniuses in the Empire or the Upper Three Sects and they get the Sea God's inheritance, it won't be a good thing for your Spirit Hall."

"Also, you don't need to tell your grandfather about what happened today. He might force me to join the Spirit Hall, but I will never join any faction. This way, the old man will think that I am a threat to the Spirit Hall, and conflicts will inevitably arise between the two sides. Once a fight breaks out, I will use the most powerful force behind me to make your Qian family's Angel Temple disappear from this world, and your grandfather will be killed without a trace."

Seeing that Qian Renxue, this proud and arrogant girl, still wanted to throw a tantrum in front of him and refused to help, Ye Liangchen realized that he would have to change his strategy. He also reminded Qian Renxue to understand that the Spirit Hall could not control everything on the continent and not to play any tricks on him.

"Xiaoxue, do you understand now? The Spirit Hall isn't as strong as you thought. Don't be too arrogant."

Bibi Dong reminded Qian Renxue from the side, especially after hearing Ye Liangchen say that he had made Qian Daoliu die without leaving a trace, she felt very happy. She had wanted to kill that old man for a long time.

"Ye Liangchen, how can you speak of my grandfather like that? What powerful force do you have behind you that could destroy the Angel Temple? I don't believe it."

Qian Renxue felt embarrassed and her chest trembled with anger when she saw the little guy giving such a bad review of his grandfather.

"Xiaoxue, don't ask too many questions. The Spirit Hall can't afford to offend the powerful figure behind Xiaochen. If you really don't help Xiaochen, I will immediately resign from my position as Pope to help Xiaochen. Anyway, I am just a puppet of the Spirit Hall Pope. The Hall of Worship has been ostracizing me, so it's better to leave sooner rather than later."

Seeing that Qian Renxue was a little angry, Bibi Dong immediately reminded the girl not to act like the young master of the Spirit Hall in front of the little guy, because he wouldn't pay any attention to her.

"Qian Renxue, there is no right or wrong in this world, only interests. In order to maintain the Spirit Hall's dominance in the Soul Master world, your grandfather will eliminate any force that threatens the Spirit Hall. For example, the former Three Earth Sects, I believe your Spirit Hall should have records of that. Your grandfather is actually just a believer who has been severely brainwashed by the Angel God. Now he guards the Angel God Temple all day long, but as long as there is anything that threatens the Angel God's faith, he will take action to eliminate it. In the end, he is just a tool."

"Ye Liangchen, how do you know so much?"

"Of course, it was told to me by an unparalleled expert. I know more than you can imagine."

"You're right. There's no right or wrong in this world, only interests."

Ye Liangchen brought up these historical events, and Qian Renxue calmed down and had to admit that the three sects of the earth were indeed suppressed by the Spirit Hall, which was also the era when her grandfather was in charge of the Spirit Hall.

"Xiaoxue, stop being temperamental. Help Xiaochen. If you don't step in, the Sea God's inheritance might fall into the hands of the three upper sects or someone from the Heaven Dou Empire. That would be like creating a great enemy for us."

"Xiao Chen has already made things clear. As the young master of the Spirit Hall, you are an adult and should understand the seriousness of the matter. If you continue to throw a tantrum, I will resign from my position as Pope and leave the Spirit Hall. Anyway, the Spirit Hall belongs to your Qian family. If it goes bankrupt in the future, it won't be a loss for me."

Bibi Dong looked at her silly daughter's intelligence and shook her head helplessly. With such a pig brain, always throwing tantrums, how could she possibly manage the Spirit Hall? It's going to be difficult.

"Okay! I'll help."

Seeing that her mother had also sided with Ye Liangchen, Qian Renxue knew she couldn't be willful anymore, otherwise her mother would really leave, which would be a fatal blow to the Spirit Hall.

"Ye Liangchen, you're letting one of the Shui Bing'er sisters inherit the Sea God's power. With their aptitude, are they even capable of unlocking it? You won't inherit the Sea God's power? How will you become a god in the future?"

Qian Renxue couldn't understand why this little guy would give up the chance to become a god to someone else.

"I will not accept the inheritance of the Sea God. Becoming a god is too easy for me. My goal is the stars, the sea, and the universe."

"Bing'er and Yue'er are only 16 years old. One is level 55 and the other is level 53. Their fourth soul rings are both ten thousand years old. Either of them can unlock the Sea God's inheritance."

"Qian Renxue, since you're willing to help me, I'll give you these two 30,000-year-old soul bones."

Seeing that Qian Renxue had agreed to help him get the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, Ye Liangchen directly threw two 30,000-year-old soul bones to her.
