Chapter 15: Heartbreaking Red of Longing.
Xiao Rou immediately noticed Qian Xunji's worry and replied, "Don't worry, my husband didn't die at the hands of a human."
Qian Xunji did indeed have this concern, or more precisely, he was worried about dying at the hands of the Spirit Hall's past Douluo.
After all, a 100,000-year-old soul beast is a long-standing creature, so it's not impossible.
If he were to dig up a past Douluo and whip his corpse for the sake of a soul beast, he must be insane.
There are some things you can do, and some things you absolutely must not do.
Just like his forceful suppression of Qian Daoliu, this was something that could have been done. As far as the Spirit Hall was concerned, the fault lay with Bibi Dong.
Most importantly, during Qian Daoliu's reign, he always upheld the righteous beliefs of the Angel God and could not tolerate any evil.
He is indeed very admirable.
But he didn't understand the principle that water that is too clear has no fish, and a person who is too discerning has no followers.
This is the main reason why, after Qian Daoliu was suppressed by him, the other worshippers were all advising Qian Daoliu to "let it go".
Because they knew that, compared to Qian Daoliu, the other families of the Spirit Hall would be more likely to accept Qian Xunji as Pope.
During the years that Qian Xunji was in power, these families lived much more comfortably than before.
The days when Sendo-ryu was in power could not be described as bland and tasteless.
However, there are some things that should never be done, such as digging up the corpses of Douluo who have contributed to the Spirit Hall in the past and whipping them just to please the spirit beasts in front of you.
This will cause people to turn away from him.
Qian Xunji still needs these people to work wholeheartedly for him.
Although he is strong, he cannot do everything himself.
If he had to do everything himself, what would be the point of him being the Pope?
Fortunately, Xiaorou's husband was not killed by a human, so she had no more worries.
A pet that is always obedient is naturally better than a pet that is disobedient.
Furthermore, the children's mothers cannot be entirely Leng Lingyuan and Xue Ying.
As for matters of the heart, there's an old saying that goes, "Familiarity breeds affection," and Qian Xunji believes he can achieve that.
With his concerns gone, Qian Xunji continued listening to Xiao Rou's story.
My husband died at the hands of a spirit beast.
"They are terrifying."
"Although I have never seen it."
Qian Xunji understood somewhat; only ferocious beasts like Di Tian and his group could instill fear in Xiao Rou, a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
This confirmed his previous guess that Di Tian and the others were indeed in the Star Dou Great Forest.
However, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm should not have been captured by them at this time. The only possibility is that Gu Yuena's injuries are too severe, and she needs Di Tian and the others to stabilize her injuries and protect her.
To confirm her suspicions, Qian Xunji asked, "Xiao Rou, tell me specifically which spirit beast killed your husband?"
"I'm not sure about that right now."
Xiao Rou was afraid that Qian Xunji would misunderstand, so she immediately explained.
"There is a mysterious place in the Star Dou Great Forest, guarded by a special power, with its entrance extremely hidden."
Special power?
It must have been Gu Yuena who did it.
"My husband died after entering this mysterious place; he must have been killed by the spirit beasts inside."
"The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Ape also went inside."
Da Ming and Er Ming went in?!
This was something Qian Xunji never expected.
"But after they came out, they had no memory of what happened inside."
"And ever since they came out, I've always felt a faint sense of being watched."
"I was afraid of what might happen to me, so I didn't dare tell them the truth."
"This sense of being monitored only disappeared after I was reborn as a human and left the Star Dou Great Forest."
……
After listening to Xiaorou's story, Qian Xunji made a judgment: it seems that her husband has become food for some ferocious beast!
"If you promise to avenge my husband, I can keep my promise."
"But you can't keep me waiting too long, leaving me with no hope at all," Xiaorou said pitifully to Qian Xunji.
She understood that, given her current situation, she had no right to have an equal dialogue with Qian Xunji.
Now, the only thing to do is to take advantage of Qian Xunji's interest in her, get him to agree first, and then use her cuteness and pitifulness to urge him to fulfill his promise.
Moreover, Qian Xunji's possession of nine 100,000-year soul rings must have come from a powerful force.
Presumably, Qian Xunji wouldn't want to see too many powerful soul beasts existing in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Okay, Xiaorou, I promise you, I'll avenge your husband."
"But not now."
"But you will definitely see that day come in your lifetime," Qian Xunji readily agreed, after all, he would set foot in the area where Di Tian and the others were sooner or later, and this was just a matter of course for him.
"Thank you, how should I address you?" Xiaorou said softly, knowing that her life was about to undergo a dramatic change.
"Since you intend to serve me as your master, you must already have your answer in your heart," Qianxunji said with a smile, looking at Xiaorou and casually pulling her into his arms.
"Master...man," Xiao Rou mustered her courage and met Qian Xunji's gaze.
"So beautiful!" Under the dim moonlight, Qian Xunji lifted Xiao Rou's chin with two fingers and couldn't help but kiss her.
At first, she was somewhat resistant, but when she thought of her promise to Qian Xunji, Xiao Rou took the initiative to go along with him.
They parted after a long time.
Xiao Rou asked in a low voice, "Master, is it here?"
The moonlight shone down, casting long shadows on the trees.
To be honest, Chihiro has never tried to play happily in the woods.
That seems interesting!
"Yes, my little Rou, don't you want to?" Qian Xunji asked in return.
"I do, Master," Xiao Rou took a deep breath, waiting for Qian Xunji to take it a step further.
"Come here, Xiaorou," Qian Xunji said, pulling Xiaorou to an ancient tree and having her hold onto it with both hands.
The games between adults have begun.
In the dappled moonlight of the grove, a beautiful sound rang out as Xiao Rou unleashed her unique wildness.
What a pleasant evening.
In the soft grass.
Xiao Rou stood close to Qian Xunji and asked, "Master, where do we go next?"
Qian Xunji originally intended to take Xiao Rou directly back to Wuhun City, but he eventually gave up on the idea.
He remembered that there was a special immortal herb in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire—the Love-Sick Heartbreak Red.
He wanted to take Xiaorou to try it out.
Imagine a woman who, in order to avenge her husband, is even willing to compromise and agree to some unreasonable demands and conditions.
This love is truly the most sincere and devoted.
"I'll take you to a nice place," Qianxunji patted Xiaorou, gesturing for her to get up.
Xiao Rou immediately stood up.
In the moonlight, she looked even whiter.
Chihiro quickly dressed.
Xiao Rou was in a dilemma; her clothes were already torn and obviously unwearable.
"Xiao Rou, wear mine for now." Qian Xunji took out her clothes from her storage soul tool.
Xiao Rou took the clothes, her eyes full of envy. This thing is so convenient!
Even though she was a Soul King before, she dared not go to big cities to prevent her identity from being exposed. She only dared to wander around villages or some backward towns.
Qian Xunji saw through Xiao Rou's thoughts and smiled, "When we get back, I'll give you a storage soul tool."
Storage soul tools may be precious to ordinary soul masters, but the Spirit Hall has a considerable stock of them.
"Thank you, Master," Xiao Rou said happily, and quickly put on her clothes.
She's so easily satisfied!
Unlike Bibi Dong, who, even when given the best treatment, still thought about how to escape the Spirit Hall.
