--- Chapter 425 ---

In the Bright Spirit Palace's Dining Hall, Qian Renxue fed Yunlong with her food. When he was in the Ancient Desolate Battlefield, Qian Renxue took a cooking lesson so she could make a proper meal for him.

At first, Qian Renxue thought her cooking lesson was in vain, but she kept believing Yunlong would return someday.

But stuffing Yunlong with her homemade beef stew now made all those cooking lessons worth it.

Yunlong helplessly ate Qian Renxue's cooking and let Beelzebub deal with the metabolism. What Qian Renxue fed him was not your ordinary meat stew. It's the meat of a domesticated and strictly bred Spirit Beast called AG-9 Heavenly Bovine.

One might think Spirit Beast has a problem with this domestication stuff.

But no, they are ironically the 'biggest' consumption of domesticated Spirit Beasts.

After all, even Spirit Beast has their class.

The noble one's bloodlines were the higher ones in the pyramid of control.

As long as the Bright Spirit Alliance's members didn't touch Spirit Beasts from Star Dou Forest, Extreme North, and the surrounding Sea God Island, wild Spirit Beasts are fair game.

Yunlong chewed a piece of meat comfortably and thought, 'Many things happened to the Bright Spirit Empire in the last three years. Whether small or not, those changes were making this empire.'

'Well, I'm becoming more sentimental after meeting Xiaona.' He laughed helplessly inside. 'She will always be my precious little princess, the Dragon of Destiny and Fate.'

'To think, she predicted my appearance in Douluo Dalu-101 and waited there for eons...'

'Flow of time.'

'Endless growing space.'

'Two are inseparable, and they are one with Nirvana.'

'What's Nirvana? Suffering, the cause of it, the answer of it, and the end of it.'

'Have I ended my Nirvana? No, I've just started it.'

'Several Lives and Deaths...'

'Destiny and Fate wanted to make me suffer, but truthfully. They are just Quests to temper my future endeavors.'

Yunlong unknowingly fell into an enlightened state. The stagnant Law of Time and Law of Space he learned suddenly evolved while eating Qian Renxue's cooking.

No, it was more than that. Yunlong narrowly grasped the very essence of causality.

"Yunlong?" Qian Renxue suddenly called him out.

"Hey, are you even listening to me?"

[Ding! You have comprehended the Secret of Universe, the 'Flicker of Nirvana' and 'Deadlock Samsara']

Yunlong was stunned, looking at the system panel in disbelief.

He chuckled, then went into full-blown laughter.

"Haha, Hahaha~!"

"What's wrong with you?" Qian Renxue frowned, puzzled by his action.

Yunlong suddenly kissed Qian Renxue passionately and made her moan in delight. "Renxue, you're my lucky angel..." He whispered to her ears.

Qian Renxue's eyes widened as she blushed because Yunlong was always like this. He made her stomach flutter with butterflies too much, and she couldn't resist.

After making out for a few minutes, Qian Renxue leaned on Yunlong's chest and pouted, "You taste beefy, like a beef stew."

"You're the one who fed me." Yunlong rubbed her little nose. "Don't complain."

"Who said I'm complaining? It's not that bad..." Qian Renxue traced her pink lips softly.

"Get a room, you two." A voice suddenly rang. Yunlong and Qian Renxue turned around, seeing the sullen Qian Daoliu with a deep frown.

'You dare to be so intimate with my granddaughter, you brat!' Qian Daoliu wished he could skewer Yunlong to death.

Yunlong obviously noticed Qian Daoliu's gaze and coughed, "Morning, Gramp."

"Who is your gramp?"

"Who else?"

"Tsk." Qian Daoliu grumbled inwardly upon hearing Yunlong's reply before sighing in helplessness. He should have punished this annoying brat more in the past because he was too strong for him to beat now.

He could only blame Yunlong for being too monstrous. Do you know how absurd reaching Godking Realm in your early twenties is?

People like Qian Daoliu have exhausted their potential and paid the price to become Level 99 Limit Douluo.

Fortunately, Yunlong has graciously shared [Godhood's Package] with every worthwhile figure in the Bright Spirit Realm, which allowed them to recover their lost potential, if not enhance them even further.

One of those people is Qian Daoliu himself.

"I heard you want to visit another world?" Qian Daoliu asked after some time.

Yunlong raised his brow, "Has the news traveled so fast? I thought only a handful of people knew?"

"Uh, a wild-looking young woman told me." Qian Daoliu returned. "Well, it's more like she was openly shouting about your affairs..."

"Taotie..." The corner of Yunlong's mouth twitched.

"That lass is indeed troublesome."

Qian Daoliu was pleased seeing Yunlong's distress and chuckled, "Don't worry. I've sealed every lip at that place."

"Anyway, I'm here to give you a suggestion left behind by the Angel God."

"Oh?" Yunlong and Qian Renxue were interested.

Qian Renxue tilted her head confusingly, "Weird, why didn't the Angel God contact me?"

Qian Daoliu rolled his eyes and responded, "The Angel God wanted to, but you're not even in the Douluo Planet. I was shocked when finding that you're roaming in outer space...."

"Ah..." Qian Renxue was embarrassed.

Qian Daoliu stared at Yunlong and warned, "Angel God said you must be careful from now on. The Outer Gods' influence has become stronger recently, and the Divine Realm couldn't resist for too long."

"We only have one mortal's year left."

"One year, huh?" Yunlong pondered to himself.

"I'm afraid Sea God and Asura God couldn't return on time."

"What do you mean?" Qian Daoliu's face froze.

Yunlong sighed and explained his recent meeting with Sea God. Qian Daoliu was shocked, but everything made sense that the Bright Spirit Empire suddenly overreached its grasp on outer space.

Yunlong closed his eyes and sighed, "It seems the Angel God's news is a little late."

'My eyes are the keys. She told me that years ago.'

"Did she say anything besides that?" He opened his eyes and asked Qian Daoliu.

"There is..." Qian Daoliu nodded.

"She also warned you to beware of outsiders."

"Outsiders." Qian Renxue was the one to frown this time. "Yunlong, you can't cancel your trip, right?"

"Yes, I've made a promise with Kaguya," Yunlong responded wryly.

"Then, I will stay." Qian Renxue suddenly stated. "Focus on your task, and I will remain here."

Yunlong gave her a confused look, "Are you sure? You're most excited when I said everyone can go."

"Yes, I'm sure. It's not like we can't visit Kaguya's Homeworld in the future, no?"

"Also... I won't get bored with Xiao Bai and the Ten Dragon Kings around."

"Bring back a souvenir for me, though." Qian Renxue demanded strongly.

"Okay." Yunlong agreed immediately.

After that, Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu went to the Angel God's Trial Ground.

Yunlong looked at Qian Renxue's fading back and mumbled, "Renxue, you're going to be a good wife and mother..."

...

In the sky, Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu hovered in the air with their angel wings.

"Why did you say that?" Qian Daoliu looked at his granddaughter silently.

"I thought you wanted to spend more time with Yunlong?"

Qian Renxue sighed, "I want to, but sometimes less is enough."

"Yunlong is a man with heavy responsibility, and as his wife, I can't run away from my duty either."

"Don't you hear him? He said I'm going to be a good mother, hehe." She giggled cheerfully. "Maybe you're going to be a great-grandfather soon, grandpa."

"WHAT?!" Qian Daoliu was shocked and appalled by her words.
